Description

The present invention relates to a base station for electrically or fluidly connecting a cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a cleaning system according to the preamble of claim 10.

A base station within the meaning of the present invention is a constructive, preferably stationary, device for connecting or servicing a (mobile) cleaning device, such as a vacuum cleaner, in particular for sucking out or emptying and/or electrically charging the cleaning device.

For this purpose, a base station within the meaning of the present invention has a fluid or pneumatic and/or electrical connection for the cleaning device.

The EP 3 033 982 A1 discloses such a base station for a hand-held vacuum cleaner, the base station being connectable to an optional adapter module in order to connect a vacuum robot to the base station in addition to the hand-held vacuum cleaner.

The DE 20 2016 104 067 U1 discloses a base station for connection to a wet cleaning device, the base station supplying fluid from the environment to the wet cleaning device.

The US 5,481,780A discloses a hand-held vacuum cleaner which is connected via a line to a base station for after-treatment of the exhaust air. The base station is equipped with an electrically operated burner and a filter arrangement to burn particles in the exhaust air and separate them with the help of water.

The present invention is based on the object of specifying an improved base station and an improved method for operating a cleaning system with a base station and a cleaning device.

The object on which the invention is based is achieved by a base station according to claim 1 or a method for operating a cleaning system according to claim 10 . Advantageous developments are the subject of the subclaims.

A cleaning system within the meaning of the present invention is a system with several components for cleaning surfaces, especially floors. Such a cleaning system has at least one, preferably several (mobile) cleaning devices, such as a vacuum cleaner, and a preferably stationary base station for maintenance, in particular for emptying and/or charging electricity, of the cleaning device(s).

A cleaning device within the meaning of the present invention is preferably a vacuum cleaner, for example a hand-held vacuum cleaner, a particularly mobile vacuum cleaner, a trunk vacuum cleaner, a stick or stick vacuum cleaner or a (partially) autonomous or self-propelled or self-flying vacuum cleaner robot.

However, a cleaning device within the meaning of the present invention can also be another device for cleaning and/or maintaining surfaces, in particular floors. For example, floor wiping devices or robots, polishing devices or robots, window cleaning devices or robots or lawn mowers or robots are also to be understood as cleaning devices within the meaning of the present invention.

After use or after a cleaning process, the cleaning device can be connected to the base station in order to maintain the cleaning device, preferably automatically or independently, in particular to charge it electrically and/or to empty it or suck it out.

The operation of cleaning devices and/or base stations can stir up dust and/or generate heat and thus change or worsen the quality of the ambient or room air.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the base station has an in particular integrated air-conditioning device for conditioning/air-conditioning the ambient or room air, preferably with the air-conditioning device for cleaning/filtering, humidifying, dehumidifying, warming/heating and/or cooling the ambient or room air. Room air is formed.

Using the air conditioner, it is possible, for example before, during and/or after a cleaning process or the use of the cleaning device and/or before, during and/or after a maintenance process, in particular a suction process, using the base station, the ambient or room air to condition/climate, in particular to clean, moisten, dehumidify, heat and/or cool.

In particular, using the proposed base station, the quality of the room air can be improved during and/or after a cleaning process and/or a maintenance process, or the negative influence of the operation of the cleaning device or the base station on the quality of the room air can be at least partially compensated.

According to another aspect of the present invention that can also be implemented independently, the base station has a particularly integrated measuring device to measure the quality of the room air, in particular the (dust) particle number, size and/or concentration in the room air, the temperature and/or to measure or determine the humidity of the room air.

The measuring device makes it possible to control the air conditioning device and, in particular, to start or end and/or adapt the conditioning/air conditioning using the measured values recorded by the measuring device.

The measuring device can have, for example, one or more sensors, in particular dust, temperature and/or humidity sensors.

The term "air quality" or "room air quality" in the context of the present invention is preferably the concentration or density, size and/or number of impurities or particles contained in the air or room air, such as dust particles, and/or the temperature of the air or room air and/or the humidity or the moisture content of the air or room air.

The base station preferably has a container for suction material from the cleaning device. In particular, suction material from the cleaning device can be collected or separated in the container when the cleaning device is connected to the base station or is being sucked out by means of the base station. The base station is optionally equipped with a filter, in particular a filter bag, which is arranged in the container.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the container of the base station is connected to the air conditioner or pneumatically connected or connectable to the air conditioner, in particular in such a way that the room air passed through the container is (subsequently) post-treated by the air conditioner, in particular cleaned, humidified, dehumidified, heated and/or can be cooled and/or released (again) to the environment in the conditioned state.

The term “air conditioner” in the context of the present invention is to be understood as meaning a constructive device which is designed to bring or condition the air of a room, hereinafter referred to as room air, into a specific or predefined state and/or the temperature to change the humidity and/or the purity or (dust) particle concentration of the room air. However, an air conditioner within the meaning of the present invention can also be designed to exclusively clean or filter the air in the room.

The proposed method for operating a cleaning system with a cleaning device and a base station for the cleaning device is characterized in that - in particular before, during and/or after a cleaning process using the cleaning device and/or before, during and/or after a maintenance or Extraction process using the base station—room air is conditioned, in particular cleaned, heated, cooled, humidified and/or dehumidified, using the base station, in particular an (integrated) air conditioning device in the base station. Corresponding advantages are realized in this way.

According to a particularly preferred variant of the method, the air in the room is post-treated by means of the air conditioner during the maintenance or extraction process using the base station, in particular before the air in the room—as supply air—is released (again) to the environment.

During a maintenance or suction process, room air is preferably sucked into the base station together with suction material from the cleaning device and the suction material is collected in the container of the base station or separated from the room air sucked in. The (cleaned) room air can then be fed to the air conditioning unit for post-treatment or conditioning, in particular before the room air is released (again) to the environment as supply air.

With such a method, a pleasant indoor climate is advantageously maintained or produced during or through the operation of the base station or a suction process and/or the operation of the base station is prevented from having a negative effect on the indoor climate.

According to a further variant of the method, which can also be implemented independently, the quality, in particular the particle concentration number and/or size, the humidity and/or the temperature, of the room air measured by means of the base station, in particular an (integrated) measuring device in the base station.

Additionally or alternatively, the quality, in particular the particle concentration, number and/or size, humidity and/or temperature, of the room air is measured using the cleaning device, preferably during a cleaning process and/or at different points in a room to be cleaned.

Depending on the measured values, the air conditioning is preferably controlled, in particular (automatically) started, ended and/or adjusted, by means of the base station, in particular the air conditioning unit.

The measured values are preferably exchanged (in terms of data) between the cleaning device and the base station, in particular in order to compare the measured values with one another and/or to use the measured values of the cleaning device to control the base station, in particular the air conditioning unit.

For example, it is possible to (automatically) start a cleaning process by means of the cleaning device and/or the air conditioning, in particular the cleaning, by means of the base station or the air conditioning device if the particle or dust concentration is particularly high.

The aforementioned aspects, features and method steps or variants of the present invention and the aspects, features and method steps or variants resulting from the claims and the following description variants of the present invention can in principle be implemented independently of one another, but also in any combination or sequence.

In particular, the direction of flow in the chamber 20C is reversed in the suction mode compared to the cleaning mode.

A distinction is therefore made below between the cleaning mode and the suction mode of the cleaning device 20 . In 2 the preferred direction of flow in the suction mode or during a maintenance or suction process is represented by arrows.

The cleaning mode is the mode in which the cleaning device 20 is during cleaning or while a cleaning process is being carried out.

A cleaning process within the meaning of the present invention is preferably a process in which cleaning takes place using the cleaning device 20 and/or in which the cleaning device 20 cleans or vacuums a surface, such as the floor 3 .

In the cleaning mode or during a cleaning process, the cleaning device 20 is usually not connected to the base station 10 and/or is not at a distance from the base station 10 .

In particular, in the cleaning mode of the cleaning device 20 or during a cleaning process, the blower 20J is activated or switched on, in particular in such a way that air flows from the suction opening 20B to the outlet opening 20N. In the cleaning mode, air particularly preferably flows from the suction opening 20B via the suction line 20D or the supply line 20G into the chamber 20C and from the chamber 20C via the connecting line 20H and the blower 20J to the outlet line 20L or outlet opening 20N.

Consequently, the suction opening 20B and the suction line 20D form the suction tract of the cleaning device 20 in the cleaning mode.

The suction mode is the mode in which the cleaning device 20 is located when it is being suctioned by means of the base station 10 or during a maintenance or suction process.

In the maintenance or suction mode or during a maintenance process, the cleaning device 20, in particular the fluidic connection 20F and/or the electrical connection 20E of the cleaning device 20, is connected to the base station 10, in particular the fluidic connection 40F and/or the electrical connection 40E Base station 10 connected.

In particular, the fan 20J of the cleaning device 20J is deactivated or switched off in the maintenance or suction mode or during a maintenance process of the cleaning device 20 .

It is preferably sucked out via the fluid connection 20F or the suction line 20P of the cleaning device 20. In particular, the chamber 20C can be sucked out by means of the base station 10 via the fluid connection 20F or the suction line 20P.

The fluidic connection 20F is preferably formed by a socket, an opening or the like in the cleaning device 20, in particular in the housing of the cleaning device 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the port 20F is located on a top surface of the cleaning device 20 .

Preferably, the fluid port 20F is fluidly connected to the chamber 20C via the exhaust line 20P.

The cleaning device 20 preferably has a suction valve 20Q in order to control or change the air flow or the air flow in the cleaning device 20, in particular in order to switch between the cleaning mode and the suction mode.

The suction opening 20B or the connection 20F can preferably be fluidically connected to the chamber 20C by means of the suction valve 20Q.

In the cleaning mode or during a cleaning process, the suction opening 20B is fluidically connected to the chamber 20C in order to be able to suck in air from the environment or to direct it into the chamber 20C via the supply line 20G. Preferably, port 20F is fluidly isolated from chamber 20C in the cleaning mode.

In the suction mode, the fluidic port 20F is fluidly connected to the chamber 20C to direct air or suction material from the chamber 20C and the optional supply line 20G to the port 20F and the base station 10, respectively. Preferably, in the suction mode, suction port 20B is fluidly isolated from chamber 20C.

When sucking out or in the sucking out mode, air or room air RL preferably flows from the outlet opening 20N to the fluidic connection 20F. During extraction or in the extraction mode, air or room air RL particularly preferably flows via the outlet line 20L, the blower 20J and/or the connecting line 20H into the chamber 20C and from the chamber 20C via the supply line 20G and the extraction line 20P through the cleaning device 20 or to the fluidic connection 20F or into the base station 10.

Consequently, the outlet opening 20N and the outlet line 20L form the suction tract of the cleaning device 20 in the suction mode or during a maintenance or suction process.

The cleaning appliance 20 preferably has a control device 20S, a data processing device 20R and/or a communication device 20K, preferably with the control device 20S, the data processing device 20R, the communication device 20K, the blower 20J and/or the suction valve 20Q being electrically connected to one another, as in 2 indicated by dashed lines.

The control device 20S is preferably designed to control the fan 20J, in particular to activate or deactivate it and/or to adjust the power of the fan 20J.

The sensors 10V to 10Z are preferably one or more dust sensors for measuring the number, size and/or concentration of particles, one or more temperature sensors for measuring the temperature and/or one or more humidity sensors for measuring the humidity.

For example, the first sensor 10V and/or the second sensor 10W is/are designed as dust sensor(s), the third sensor 10X, the fourth sensor 10Y and/or the fifth sensor 10Z as temperature sensor(s) and/or as a humidity sensor.

The measuring device 10M, in particular the sensors 10V to 10Z, is or are preferably electrically connected to the control device 10S, the data processing device 10R and/or the communication device 10K, in particular in order to process and evaluate the measured values and/or to the cleaning device 20 and/or or another facility, such as a central facility or server.

The proposed method is preferably carried out by the proposed cleaning system 1 or the proposed base station 10 . The following description in turn relates to the first cleaning device 20, but preferably also applies to the second cleaning device 30.

As already explained, before, during and/or after a cleaning process using cleaning device 20 and/or before, during and/or after a maintenance process, in particular a suction process, using base station 10, room air RL is conditioned using air conditioning unit 60, in particular heated, cooled, humidified, dehumidified and/or cleaned, and preferably given off to the environment as conditioned supply air ZL.

In principle, the air conditioning can be dependent on or independent of the maintenance or the evacuation.

However, it is preferred that when using the cleaning device 20 or during a cleaning process, the room air RL is conditioned, in particular cleaned, by means of the base station 10, in particular the air conditioning device 60.

The dust whirled up by the cleaning device 20 can advantageously be at least partially picked up by the base station 10 . In addition, it is possible to cool the room air RL by means of the base station 10, in particular the air conditioning device 60, in such a way that the heat generated by the cleaning device 20 is at least partially dissipated in order to maintain or create a pleasant room climate.

It is also preferred that during a maintenance process, in particular a suction process, the air conditioner 60 is activated or the room air RL is air-conditioned by means of the air conditioner 60 .

In this way it is possible to clean, cool, heat, humidify and/or dehumidify the air passed through the container 50G or the filter 50H—in addition to or before it is released to the environment. In this way, when carrying out a maintenance process or a suction process, the room climate is adjusted and/or negative effects caused by the operation of the base station 10, in particular the fan 50J, are at least partially compensated for directly.

It is preferred that the room air RL for air conditioning is sucked in via the inlet 60A of the air conditioning device 60 during the cleaning by means of the cleaning device 20 .

When vacuuming or during a vacuuming process or when the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the air flow in the base station 10 is preferably changed (automatically) or the valve 10U or 60Z is actuated, in particular in such a way that the container 50G is pneumatic is coupled to the air conditioner 60 and/or the room air RL--in particular instead of via the inlet 60A of the air conditioner 60--is drawn in via the fluidic connection 40F or 50F of the base station 10 and fed to the air conditioner 60.

In such a variant of the method, the air supply to the air conditioner 60 is consequently changed when changing from a cleaning process using the cleaning device 20 to a suction process using the base station 10 (or vice versa), in particular without interruption or without the air conditioner 60 being deactivated.

When using the cleaning device 20 or when carrying out a cleaning process, the quality of the room air, in particular the particle concentration, the humidity and/or the temperature of the room air RL, is preferably measured using the cleaning device 20, in particular the measuring device 20M, and/or using the base station 10, in particular of the measuring device 10M, measured or determined.

In particular, the air conditioning is (automatically) started, ended and/or adjusted as a function of the determined or determined measured values.

For example, it is possible that if the dust concentration is too high or if a predefined limit value is exceeded, the room air RL can be cleaned by means of the air conditioning unit 60, in particular the filter arrangement 60C, if the temperature is too low or if the temperature falls below a predefined limit, the room air RL can be cleaned by Air conditioner 60, in particular the heater 60H, is heated, if the temperature is too high or if a predefined temperature is exceeded, the room air RL is cooled by means of the air conditioner 60, in particular the cooler 60E, if the humidity is too low or if the humidity falls below a predefined level, the Room air RL is humidified by means of air conditioner 60, in particular humidifier 60G, and/or if the humidity is too high or when a predefined humidity is exceeded, the room air RL is dehumidified or dried by means of air conditioner 60, in particular dehumidifier 60F, specifically in particular preferably while a cleaning process is being carried out using cleaning appliance 20 and/or while a maintenance process is being carried out using base station 10.

For this purpose, one or more measured values are transmitted (in data terms) between the cleaning device 20 and the base station 10 .

The measured values of the cleaning device 20 can be used, for example, as average values for controlling the base station 10, in particular the air conditioning device 60, and/or can be compared with the measured values of the base station 10, in particular the measuring device 10M. In this way, any errors and/or (local) outliers can be identified, in particular in order to avoid overriding the climate control device 60 .

The measured values are preferably transmitted when the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10 and/or is in use, ie is carrying out a cleaning process. In particular, it is possible for the measured values to be transmitted between the base station 10 and the cleaning appliance 20 continuously or at intervals.
