Definitions

  • the invention relates to a base station for cleaning and/or emptying a vacuum cleaner dust chamber of a first vacuum cleaner, which base station has a fan, a base dust chamber, a first air inlet which is in flow connection with the base dust chamber and a first air outlet which is in flow connection with the base dust chamber, the air inlet having an air duct of the first vacuum cleaner can be connected, so that suction material contained in the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner can be conveyed into the base dust chamber by means of the blower.
  • Base stations of the aforementioned type are well known in the prior art. These are used in particular in combination with vacuum cleaners which have a so-called permanent filter which is not replaced when it is completely filled with suction material, but is freed from dust by means of a scavenging air flow in a direction opposite to the usual suction direction.
  • the vacuum cleaner's dust chamber can be connected to a base station fan or to the vacuum cleaner's own fan.
  • the pamphlet EP 1 243 218 B1 discloses, for example, a base station for cleaning and/or emptying a vacuum cleaner dust chamber of a vacuum cleaner, which base station comprises a base dust chamber into which the vacuumed material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber can be transferred, the fan of the base station or of the vacuum cleaner to be cleaned being connected to the base dust chamber to suck in the dirt can be connected to the vacuum cleaner dust chamber, the suction air flow of the blower being able to be deflected via the basic dust chamber into the vacuum cleaner dust chamber, so that the suction material can be sucked out of the vacuum cleaner dust chamber into the basic dust chamber by means of the resulting negative pressure in the vacuum cleaner dust chamber.
  • the pamphlet EP 2 407 074 A2 discloses a system of a cleaning robot and a base station, dirt collected in a suction dust chamber of the cleaning robot being set in motion by means of an air stream and then being transferred to the base station.
  • a dust removal device blows air into the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the cleaning robot and sucks in the dust-laden air after it has circulated through the vacuum cleaner dust chamber.
  • the base station should also take up little space and cause the lowest possible costs for the customer.
  • the invention proposes that the base station additionally have at least one interface, which interface has a second air inlet that can be shut off and is in flow connection with the base dust chamber, via which suction material contained in a vacuum cleaner dust chamber of a second vacuum cleaner can be conveyed into the base dust chamber.
  • the invention creates a modularly expandable base station which, depending on the type of vacuum cleaner or vacuum cleaners to be cleaned, can be supplemented by one or more adapter modules.
  • the base station indicates this one or more interfaces to which adapter modules can be connected as required. It is therefore not necessary for a user to purchase two different base stations for cleaning/emptying two different vacuum cleaners, for example a hand-held cordless vacuum cleaner and a vacuum robot. Rather, the user can supplement the base station, which is already designed for cleaning/emptying a specific type of vacuum cleaner, with adapter modules for other types of vacuum cleaner. This allows the base station to be designed entirely according to the individual needs of the user. In addition, the base station can thereby be made as small as possible.
  • the user does not have to pay for any interfaces that are arranged as standard on the base station for such vacuum cleaners, which he may not even need because he does not use the respective vacuum cleaner type.
  • the vacuumed material contained in the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the second vacuum cleaner can be conveyed into the base dust chamber by means of a fan of the base station.
  • the user can advantageously use a selector switch to select which vacuum cleaner dust compartment is to be emptied
  • An inlet valve is advantageously assigned to the first air inlet and/or the second air inlet of the base station, which inlet valve can be switched over depending on the desired conveyance of suction material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner or from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the second vacuum cleaner.
  • Alternative flow paths can thus be formed within the base station, depending on whether a first or a second vacuum cleaner, which is connected to the base station, is to be cleaned.
  • a first vacuum cleaner can be connected to the base station, with the connection of the second air inlet to an adapter module basically being superfluous.
  • the base station is used in the simplest embodiment.
  • the cleaning of the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of this vacuum cleaner is carried out in such a way that the first air inlet of the base station is connected to the air duct of the first vacuum cleaner, so that suction material contained in the vacuum cleaner dust chamber is conveyed into the base dust chamber by means of the blower.
  • the base station can have a switch, for example, which the user of the base station can operate manually.
  • the switch can also be actuated in several stages, for example for activating the blower by only gently pressing the switch, and for switching a specific flow path by fully pressing the switch.
  • the selection of which vacuum cleaner is to be cleaned can also be selected using a switch.
  • the switching of the airways can be done electromechanically instead of manually by the user.
  • the base station independently recognizes which vacuum cleaners are connected to the first air inlet, the second air inlet and possibly other air inlets and initiates a specific cleaning variant for specific combinations of connected vacuum cleaners.
  • certain cleaning sequences can also be specified, for example, according to which a number of vacuum cleaners connected to the base station are cleaned one after the other in a specified sequence. For example, it can be provided that the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner is always cleaned first and the cleaning processes for the other vacuum cleaners are of secondary importance.
  • the base station can advantageously use contacts arranged in the area of the air inlets and possibly also air outlets to detect whether vacuum cleaners and/or adapter modules are connected to the base station. If necessary, the type of contacts can also be used to identify certain types of vacuum cleaner. For example, an embodiment is proposed in which the inlet valve of the base station can be switched over for conveying vacuumed material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the second vacuum cleaner in such a way that it blocks the first air inlet, and that the inlet valve is used for conveying vacuumed material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner can be switched in such a way that this blocks the second air inlet.
  • the inlet valve can thus be switched between two different positions, of which a first position creates a flow path to the adapter module, while a second position is designed to convey suction material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner.
  • a first position creates a flow path to the adapter module
  • a second position is designed to convey suction material from the vacuum cleaner dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner.
  • the other air inlet ie either the second air inlet or the first air inlet, must be closed, which advantageously takes place at the same time through the inlet valve.
  • the inlet valve thus fulfills the function of opening a first flow path and the function of closing a second flow path at the same time.
  • the inlet valve be assigned to a valve control which is set up to switch over the inlet valve automatically when an adapter module is connected to the second air inlet in such a way that the first air inlet is blocked.
  • the valve control as a basic setting of the flow paths in an adapter module connected to the base station automatically blocks the first air inlet and opens the second air inlet. In this respect, a possibly still existing flow path, which is suitable for cleaning the first vacuum cleaner, is separated and a flow path, which is suitable for cleaning the second vacuum cleaner, which is connected to the adapter module, is activated.
  • Such a presetting is useful, for example, if the first vacuum cleaner is a mains-operated vacuum cleaner and the second vacuum cleaner a cleaning robot whose vacuum cleaner dust compartment basically has a lower dust holding capacity than the vacuum cleaner dust compartment of the mains-operated vacuum cleaner.
  • the interface can have a covering cap which reversibly blocks off the second air inlet and/or an interface valve which can be set up to open the second air inlet when it is connected to an adapter module.
  • the covering cap can be arranged on the second air inlet of the base station so that it can be actuated and/or removed manually, for example.
  • the function of the covering cap is that it prevents secondary air from entering the base station through the second air inlet, for example when cleaning a vacuum cleaner arranged at the first air inlet.
  • the covering cap can be actuated manually or electromechanically and can have different embodiments, for example as a flap, plug or the like.
  • an electromechanical actuation is particularly preferred, in which the valve opens immediately when an adapter module is connected to the second air inlet.
  • the user of the base station no longer has to open the second air inlet manually, but simply connect the adapter module to the interface, which means that it opens automatically.
  • the interface is analogous without attached adapter module - automatically, caused by removal - closed.
  • the interface valve can be opened by the mechanical action of a partial area of the adapter module, in particular an adapter air outlet.
  • a connected to the interface valve interface control can be a mechanical Detect contact between the interface and an adapter module, e.g. by an adapter air outlet of the adapter module contacting the interface, e.g. by a portion of an adapter air duct protruding into a portion of the second air inlet, similar to a plug connection.
  • Mechanical contacts arranged at the interface can detect a contact of an adapter module on the base station in the area of the second air inlet and send a corresponding signal to the valve control, which finally issues the opening command.
  • a base station system which has a base station according to one of the aforementioned embodiments and a first vacuum cleaner, with a housing shape of the first vacuum cleaner being designed in such a way that it presses correspondingly against contacts of the base station and a specific type of vacuum cleaner from others vacuum cleaners differs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a base station 1 which is designed to accommodate a vacuum cleaner 3, in particular a hand-held stick vacuum cleaner, cordless vacuum cleaner or the like.
  • the base station 1 has a first air inlet 7 and a first air outlet 8 which are suitable for being connected to an air outlet and an air inlet of the vacuum cleaner 3 .
  • contacts 19, 20 are arranged on the base station 1, which are used for contacting the vacuum cleaner 3 to be connected to the base station 1; in particular, these can also assume a holding function for holding the vacuum cleaner 3 on the base station 1 or can also be equipped with sensors, to detect the docking of the vacuum cleaner 3.

  • the adapter module 16 has a movable suction arm 23, which is arranged pivotably on a rotation axis and is connected to a second vacuum cleaner 4 can be lowered.
  • the adapter module 16 can in particular be adapted to a specific type of vacuum cleaner which is to be connected to the base station 1 . However, it is also possible for the adapter module 16 to be able to connect a number of vacuum cleaner types to the base station 1 .
  • figure 3 shows the base station 1 with a first vacuum cleaner 3 connected to it.
  • the housing of the first vacuum cleaner 3 makes contact with the contacts 19 of the base station 1.

  • FIG 5 shows a cross section through the base station 1.
  • the base station 1 has a base dust chamber 2 into which suction material 15 from the vacuum cleaners 3, 4 to be cleaned/emptied can be sucked.
  • the base dust chamber 2 is connected to the first air inlet 7 and the first air outlet 8 . Via this flow connection, air that is sucked from the first vacuum cleaner 3 through the first air inlet 7 into the base station 1 can flow through the base dust chamber 2 and then leave the base station 1 again via the first air outlet 8 and, for example, a fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 are supplied.

  • the inlet valve 14 can be pivoted from a position closing the first air inlet 7 into a position closing the second air inlet 12 and vice versa.
  • the base dust chamber 2 can be equipped in the usual way with a filter bag which can be removed from the base station 1 and/or emptied when it is completely filled with suction material, for example dust and dirt.

  • suction material 15 is sucked from a floor to be cleaned by means of the fan 11 into the suction nozzle 28 and flows through the air duct 9 and in doing so passes through an air filter 27, which filters the sucked-in air so that the suction material 15 contained therein adheres to the filter material of the air filter 27 and only air freed from the suction material 15 can continue to flow in the direction of the blower 11.
