If the suction cleaning device is removed from the suction material collecting station, it may be desirable or advisable due to noise emissions to close the housing of the suction material collecting station or the receiving space in the area of the interface.
  • the suction material cannot get into the ambient air.
  • particularly quiet cleaning of the filter chamber by means of the suction material collecting station is possible, since, for example, a fan or mechanical devices used to clean the filter chamber cannot be perceived as strongly.

  • This chamber side can be sealed against the walls of the receiving space and / or the housing of the suction material collecting station with the help of sealing elements, so that suction material remains within the receiving space and not through a gap in the interface that may arise between the filter chamber and the receiving space Environment can escape.

  • the feeding device of the suction material collecting station is set up to remove the filter chamber from the suction cleaning device and to move it into the receiving space.
  • the feed device preferably reaches out of the housing of the suction material collecting station in the direction of the suction cleaning device, so that the filter chamber can be received.
  • the feed device can, for example, have a gripping device for gripping the filter chamber.
  • a gripping device can for example be a hook element, latching element or the like.
  • the connecting element can preferably be displaced by a motor, so that the process of gripping and releasing it again can also take place automatically.
  • a shift of the guide device can preferably also be connected, so that the filter chamber to be shifted also comes into direct contact with the guide device and is directly subject to a guided displacement movement.
  • the feed device performs a movement in the opposite direction, ie starting from the receiving space in the direction of the vacuum cleaning device.
  • the suction collecting station with a feed device, it is not necessary for the suction cleaning device to have a device or a mechanism for moving the filter chamber out of the suction cleaning device in the direction of the suction cleaning device.
  • the vacuum cleaning device can thus be designed to be passive.
  • the feed device have a guide device for guiding a displacement movement of the filter chamber into the receiving space and / or a drive device for moving the filter chamber.
  • the guide device serves to align and guide the filter chamber while it is being moved from the vacuum cleaning device into the receiving space of the suction material collecting station.
  • the displacement movement has a defined direction and it can be prevented that the filter chamber tilts on the way into the receiving space and thus cannot assume a proper position within the receiving space.
  • the guide device can for example be a guide link.
  • the guide link can be formed from walls of the receiving space, optionally also have additional guide struts or the like.
  • the guide device can have a guide rail.
  • the guide rail can extend, for example, from the interface of the suction material collecting station to the receiving space or completely into it.

  • the air flow channel of the suction material collecting station can be connected to a fan of the suction material collecting station or to an external fan, for example the fan of a vacuum cleaning device.
  • the air flow guided in the air flow channel penetrates the receiving space, whereby a negative pressure is created there which conveys out the suction material located in the filter chamber arranged there.

  • the air flow duct is assigned a station fan which is set up to generate a negative pressure in the receiving space.
  • the suction material collecting station itself has a station fan in order to free the receiving space or the filter chamber arranged therein from suction material. Because the receiving space completely encloses the filter chamber, the noises from the station fan, which may be perceptible to the outside, are reliably reduced.
  • the air flow channel of the suction material collecting station has a pressure sensor in front of and behind the receiving space in the direction of flow.
  • the pressure sensors can measure a pressure loss across the filter chamber, which is a measure of the filling of the filter chamber with suction material.
  • the power of the blower / station blower can then be controlled as a function of the knowledge about the amount of suction material in the filter chamber. This allows the fan to be controlled depending on the situation so that only that suction power is used that is necessary to optimally remove the suction material from the filter chamber. This also reduces the noise emitted by the fan. If, for example, the pressure sensors detect a relatively high pressure loss across the filter chamber, a relatively high suction power of the fan can be set.
  • a point in time of operation of the fan can also be controlled as a function of the pressure loss determined. For example, the fan can only be switched on when it is actually necessary. This results in an inconspicuous, quiet and usage-controlled regeneration of the filter chamber within the suction material collection station.
  • the invention also proposes a system comprising a proposed suction material collecting station and a suction cleaning device with a housing, a suction nozzle, a filter chamber, a fan and an electric motor for driving the blower, the feed device of the suction material collecting station being set up to close the filter chamber from the suction cleaning device remove and move into the receiving space, and / or wherein the vacuum cleaning device has a displacement device which is set up to move the filter chamber out of the housing of the vacuum cleaning device, wherein the vacuum cleaning device can be arranged at the interface of the suction collecting station that the receiving space of the suction collecting station and a portion of the suction cleaning device having the filter chamber are connected to one another.
