Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for operating a vacuum cleaner.
  • Known vacuum cleaners are usually operated with an insertable into a dust chamber of the vacuum cleaner filter paper filter bag as the main filter.
  • Vacuum cleaners are also known in which reusable dust collecting containers are used as the main filter. If it is forgotten in such vacuum cleaners to use a main filter in the form of a replaceable filter bag or a dust collector, there is a risk that the sucked dirt, especially lint and threads, get into the engine fan and cause damage there. In addition, a dirt-filled dust chamber in the vacuum cleaner is very difficult to empty and clean.
  • various embodiments of mechanical filter locks are known, which are essentially all based on either preventing the starting of the fan motor when the main filter is missing or preventing the dust chamber cover from closing.
  • Such a mechanical filter barrier is described, for example, in DE 101 63 525 A1.
  • EP 03 62 894 A2 and DE 689 16 607 T2 which each describe a vacuum cleaner, which characterizes a pressure sensor system for detecting a variable which characterizes a negative pressure in an area lying in the suction flow direction after the receiving space for the main filter. According to EP 03 62 894 A2 to be detected with this pressure sensor system, the operating status.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an apparatus and a method for operating a vacuum cleaner, with the help of simple and can be reliably detected whether a main filter is inserted into the vacuum cleaner or not.
  • a device comprises a pressure sensor system for detecting a variable which characterizes a negative pressure in a first region lying in the suction flow direction to the receiving space, a detection unit which detects depending on the detected size, whether a main filter is inserted, and a control unit which Prevents a startup of the vacuum cleaner and / or outputs a warning information to an operator of the vacuum cleaner, if it is detected that no main filter is used.
  • the inventive method provides that a variable is detected which characterizes a negative pressure in a lying in Saugstromraum after the receiving space first area, is detected in dependence on the detected size, whether a main filter is used, and prevents start-up of the vacuum cleaner and / or warning information is issued to an operator of the vacuum cleaner if it is detected that no main filter is inserted.
  • the main filter forms a Wderstand in the suction air flow in the inserted state (suction flow), which leads to a change in the pressure conditions in the area after the main filter.
  • a much higher (absolute) negative pressure in the area after the main filter forms.
  • commissioning can not be allowed.
  • a controllable switching element may be provided, with the aid of an electrical supply line to the fan motor can be interrupted.
  • can also be warning information for example in the form of a display on a display or by activating a warning lamp, so that the operator of the vacuum cleaner is informed of the missing main filter.
  • the detection by means of a pressure sensor system offers the additional advantage that pressure sensor systems are already present in many vacuum cleaners, e.g. for detecting the degree of filling of the main filter. In this case, no additional hardware components are required for the "electronic filter blockage" realized according to the invention, which leads to a considerable cost saving.
  • the pressure sensor system can detect the negative pressure directly in the first area downstream of the receiving space by means of an analogue pressure sensor then the detected negative pressure with a predetermined negative pressure threshold and detects that no main filter is used when the negative pressure is below the negative pressure threshold.
  • a similar functionality of the pressure sensor system can also be realized by means of a pressure switch, which transmits an output signal to the detection unit when the negative pressure in the first region is above a predefinable negative pressure threshold value.
  • the detection unit detects that no main filter is inserted when no output signal is received from the pressure switch.
  • a single pressure sensor is sufficient for reliable detection of the main filter.
  • the negative pressure in the area downstream of the receiving space for the main filter need not be detected directly. It is also sufficient to measure a quantity which characterizes the negative pressure in this area. For example, a differential pressure between a lying in the suction flow direction in front of the receiving space and the second region lying in the suction flow direction after the receiving space first area can be detected.
  • the detection unit can then compare the detected differential pressure with a predefinable differential pressure threshold value and, depending on the result of the comparison, detect whether or not a main filter has been used (differential pressure threshold exceeded).
  • the differential pressure can be determined particularly easily with the aid of an analog differential pressure sensor.
  • At least two pressure sensors may be provided, wherein a first pressure sensor measures a first negative pressure in the first region and a second pressure sensor measures a second negative pressure in the second region.
  • An evaluation unit can then determine the differential pressure as the difference between the first and the second negative pressure.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the pressure sensor system comprises at least one differential pressure switch, which transmits an output signal to the detection unit, when the differential pressure is above a predetermined differential pressure threshold, and the detection unit detects that no main filter is used, if no Output signal from the pressure switch is received.
