Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an autonomously operable vacuum cleaner, which is modular.
  • the canister vacuum cleaner comprises a cleaning head module, as well as a separate canister module. Cleaning head module and canister module are connected to each other via a hose, so that via the cleaning head module sucked dust in the canister module can be transferred. Both the cleaning head module and the canister module each have a drive mechanism that provides the respective modules independent mobility.
  • the autonomously operable vacuum cleaner comprises a motor-blower unit, which is housed either in the canister module or in the cleaning head module.
  • the invention is characterized in that the connection of the cleaning head module to the hose and / or the connection of the hose to the canister module is detachable, in particular irreversibly releasable. This results in manifold possible uses of an autonomously operable vacuum cleaner according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to a method for vacuuming by means of an above-described autonomously operable vacuum cleaner.
  • the present invention relates to the use of an autonomously operable vacuum cleaner, in particular as a suction unit and / or power supply for tools.
  • So-called autonomous vacuum cleaners or vacuum cleaner robots are known from the state of the art. Examples of such vacuum cleaner robots are for example in the EP 2 741 483 , the DE 10 2013 100 192 and the US 2007/0272463 described. These usually have a canister module in which a motor-blower unit is housed, is provided by means of the vacuum for the suction during vacuuming. In addition to the canister unit, such vacuum cleaners also have a cleaning head module, in which case the actual suction takes place by means of the cleaning head module. Cleaning head module and canister module are connected to each other by means of a suction hose, so that the negative pressure generated by the canister module is passed to the cleaning head module for vacuuming. Both the cleaning head module and the canister module have autonomous mechanisms by means of which both the cleaning head module and the canister module are movable independently of one another. Of course, the separate mobility of the two components is limited to the length or the flexibility of the tube connecting the two modules.
  • the invention thus relates to an autonomously operable vacuum cleaner according to claim 1.
  • the canister module thus has an energy storage unit, ie accumulators, by means of which the energetic supply of all components of the vacuum cleaner is possible.
  • the cleaning head module is connected to the canister module by means of a suction hose, the dust absorbed by the cleaning head module is collected in the canister module and deposited therein.
  • Both the cleaning head module and the canister module have independent drive mechanisms, so that the cleaning head module is movable separately from the canister module in the context of the mobility predetermined by the length or flexibility of the hose.
  • the canister module and the cleaning head module are also electrically connected to one another, so that, for example, the drive unit of the cleaning head module and, if integrated in the cleaning head module, the motor-blower unit can be supplied with electrical energy from the accumulators located in the canister module.
  • the inventively autonomously operable vacuum cleaner is now characterized by the fact that cleaning head module and canister module can be separated from each other.
  • Both the canister module and the cleaning module can independently of each other have three or four wheels, in particular exactly three or exactly four wheels.
  • the drive mechanism of the canister module or the cleaning module can be designed in such a way to drive one of the wheels, several or all wheels of the dust collection unit.
  • the drive mechanism may comprise a separate or independent drive unit. This allows independent or independent driving of each wheel.
  • the drive mechanism of the canister module may be separate from or separate from the drive mechanism of the cleaning module.
  • the canister module and the cleaning module can be driven independently of each other. For example, they can move in different directions. Also, one of the two modules can not be moved while the other is being moved.
  • one or more or all of the wheels of the canister module and / or one of the wheels, several or all of the wheels of the cleaning head module may be omnidirectional wheels.
  • the use of omnidirectional wheels allows a very flexible and versatile movement of the canister module or the cleaning module.
  • Each omnidirectional wheel has at its periphery a plurality of rotatably mounted rollers whose axes are not parallel to the wheel axis (of the omnidirectional wheel) run.
  • the axes of the rollers can run obliquely or transversely to the wheel axis or be aligned.
  • An example of an omnidirectional wheel is a Mecanum wheel, which, inter alia, in the US 3,876,255 is described.
  • the motor blower unit can be designed such that it produces at an electrical power of less than 450 W according to DIN EN 60312-1 at aperture 8 a volume flow of more than 30 l / s, in particular more than 35 l / s.
  • the motor blower unit may be designed such that it produces a volume flow of more than 25 l / s, in particular more than 30 l / s, at an electric power input of less than 250 W in accordance with DIN EN 60312-1.
  • the motor blower unit may be designed such that it produces a volume flow of more than 10 l / s, in particular more than 15 l / s, at an electric power input of less than 100 W in accordance with DIN EN 60312-1.

  • the measuring device is used in version B according to section 7.3.7.3. If an engine blower unit without a vacuum cleaner housing is measured, the measuring device B is also used. For any necessary intermediate pieces for connection to the measuring chamber, the instructions in Section 7.3.7.1 apply.
  • volume flow and “suction air flow” are also used for the term “air flow” according to DIN EN 60312-1.
