Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suction device for separating particles from a suction flow, with a suction motor for generating the suction flow and with a suction housing having a control wall for operating the suction device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a suction device is, for example EP 1 955 637 A2 known.
  • Such a control wall usually has an on and off switch for switching the suction device on and off. Furthermore, further controls, for example for adjusting the speed of the suction motor, can be provided at this point. Suction devices used in the workshop often have a socket for connecting an electrical tool. However, the scope of functions of the suction device is fixed.
  • a basic idea of the invention is that the functional module can be replaced as required. It is therefore possible to use different functional modules with different requirements for the suction device. It goes without saying that several module holders can also be present on a suction device according to the invention.
  • control wall is expediently an external wall simply because of its accessibility.
  • the functional module it would be conceivable for the functional module to be placed entirely on the vacuum cleaner housing in the assembled state, i.e. not to penetrate into the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • the module holder has a receiving space in which the at least one functional module is completely or partially accommodated in the assembled state.
  • the recording room is advantageously accessible from the outside.
  • the receiving space is a receiving chamber or a receiving shaft.
  • the receiving space is so deep that a front side of the at least one functional module does not protrude, or only protrudes insignificantly, from a part of the control wall surrounding the receiving space.
  • the penetration depth of the functional module therefore essentially corresponds to a depth or height of the functional module.
  • the functional module does not protrude in front of the vacuum cleaner housing, which is visually appealing and provides mechanical protection for the functional module.
  • a sealing arrangement that protects the functional module, the module receptacle or the electrical connection arrangement as well as corresponding contacts of the functional module from environmental influences is also advantageous.
  • at least one seal can be provided on the connections of the connection arrangement. It is preferred if a seal is arranged on the outer circumference of the functional module and/or on an inner circumference of the module receptacle. The seal is preferably designed so that no dirt can penetrate into the receiving space.
  • the electrical connection arrangement preferably has supply contacts for supplying electrical energy to an electrical consumer that can be connected to the suction device.
  • the consumer is, for example, a power tool.
  • the supply contacts can have a switchable switching supply contact that can be switched on and off by a switch on the suction device.
  • This switch of the suction device can be a separate switch specifically assigned to the switching supply contact or, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a "main switch", advantageously a switch that is provided for switching the suction motor.
  • the supply contact is a permanent current contact, which is, for example, permanently connected to a power supply connection of the suction device, with which it can be connected to a power supply network. If the suction device is operated using an accumulator, the permanent current contact is permanently connected to the accumulator.
  • an automatic supply contact is useful, to which a current sensor is assigned. If current flows via the automatic supply contact, this current flow is detected by the current sensor.
  • One or more power supply connections in the respective supply module can be supplied with electrical energy via the supply contacts of the suction device, to which an electrical consumer, for example an electric tool, can in turn be connected.
  • the functional module can be with one or several of the aforementioned supply contacts, for example the switching supply contact, the continuous current contact and the automatic supply contact, can be connected by means of a selector switch. It goes without saying that the selector switch can only allow the selection of two of the three aforementioned contacts.
  • the functional module is reconfigurable in such a way that the power supply contact can be connected to at least two of the three of the aforementioned variants - switching supply contact, continuous current contact or automatic supply contact - by, for example, replugging the power connections of the functional model.
  • the electrical connection arrangement of the suction device expediently also has suction device signal contacts and/or a wireless internal interface for communicating data signals and/or control signals to the functional module or from the respective functional module.
  • the signal contacts are expediently potential-free, for which purpose a relay or the like can be provided.
  • connection of the functional module to the suction device is expediently carried out without tools.
  • Locking means for example locking hooks
  • the connecting means can include, for example, one or more screws.
  • a variant of the invention can provide that the functional module can deliberately only be attached to or detached from the suction device using a tool. This can, for example, represent improved theft protection or be indicated for electrical reasons, namely that the supply contacts of the suction device are not openly accessible. It goes without saying that for connecting means that can only be actuated with tools, locking means or the like can also be used, but these can advantageously only be brought into a release or release position for removing the functional module with a suitable tool.
  • the functional module according to the invention provides an electrical, optical or acoustic function or any combinations thereof.
  • the functional module can be, for example, a switching module.
  • Display modules are also useful.
  • the functional module expediently has suction device signal contacts that can connect to the module signal contacts, for example to communicate data signals or control signals.
  • the data signals are expediently bus data signals.
  • the functional module has an electrical switch for switching on or off the suction motor of the suction device.
  • this switch is a signal switch, i.e. it outputs a switching signal for switching the suction motor on or off at a main switch arranged in the suction device.
  • the switching signal can be transmitted to the suction device potential-free.
  • the switching signal expediently has a lower potential than the main switch of the suction device, with which the suction motor can be switched on and off.
  • the functional module can be a compressed air module.
  • the functional module has, for example, a compressed air connection arrangement for connecting a compressed air tool.
  • the compressed air connection arrangement expediently includes compressed air connections for looping through a compressed air line supplying the compressed air tool. At least one of the compressed air connections is expediently provided with a quick coupling and/or a counterpart for quick couplings.
  • the compressed air functional module expediently includes a compressed air sensor for detecting a compressed air stream that flows through the functional module.
  • the compressed air sensor contains, for example, a spring-loaded sensor body, in particular a float, which can be actuated when compressed air is actuated or when the compressed air flows through and closes a switch, preferably a reed contact.
  • the float can be magnetic, for example. It goes without saying that the compressed air sensor can also be a pressure switch that can be actuated by pressure.
  • the functional module has a current sensor for detecting a current flowing through the functional module.
  • a potential-free switching contact is also useful. If, for example, a consumer is connected to the aforementioned power supply connection and this is switched on, i.e. for example an electric tool is switched on, the current sensor or the switching contact reports this to the suction device, which in turn then activates the suction motor.
  • the respective sensor for example the compressed air sensor, the current sensor or the switching contact, are advantageously connected to the module signal contacts for transmitting data signals and control signals.
  • the functional module can also include a bus coupler for connection to a data bus of the suction device.
  • the functional module includes, for example, data contacts for connecting a data device to a data bus of the suction device and/or the functional module. This makes it possible, for example, to diagnose, program or calibrate the suction device and/or functional module.
  • the data contacts are expediently connected to the module contacts for connection to the data bus of the suction device.
  • the invention provides that the functional module has a wireless external interface for wireless communication with the functional module and/or the suction device.
  • the functional module has a wireless external interface for wireless communication with the functional module and/or the suction device.
  • the functional module can have optical or acoustic output means for outputting data, for example diagnostic data of the suction device, music or the like.
  • data for example diagnostic data of the suction device, music or the like.
  • a variant of the invention provides that the functional module has compensation for noise emissions from the suction device.
  • the functional module can also have a radio receiver and/or data reading means.
  • the data reading means are suitable, for example, for outputting music data stored in MP3 format or another music data format.
  • a functional module according to the invention can also be a master-slave module, with the help of which a further suction device can be connected to the suction device according to the invention.
  • the two suction devices can be switched on and off at the same time so that their suction power is available simultaneously.
  • the current sensor in the functional module of the other suction device to which the aforementioned suction device is connected detects the current flow to the newly switched on suction device and, as a result, also switches on the suction device having the functional module according to the invention. This then forms a slave suction device.
  • the suction device is a transportable, for example rollable and/or portable, suction device, according to the invention a workshop vacuum.
  • a suction motor 12 is arranged to generate a suction stream 13, which can be sucked into the suction cup housing 11 via a suction inlet 14.

  • a control wall 23 with control elements 24 for operating the suction device 10 extends between a front wall 22 having the suction inlet 14 and the top side 16.
  • the control wall 23 is expediently inclined at an angle so that the control elements 24 can be easily operated from diagonally above at the front.
  • the operating elements 24 include a switch 25, which forms a main switch, so to speak.
  • the suction motor 12 can be switched on and off using the switch 25.
  • an automatic mode can be set in which the suction motor 12 always runs when a connected consumer receives electrical power via the suction device 10, which will be explained later.
  • a suction power or speed switch 26 With the help of a suction power or speed switch 26, the power of the suction motor 12 can be adjusted.
  • An adjustment switch 27 enables electrical adjustment of the suction device 10 to a suction hose connected to a respective suction inlet 14.
  • a cleaning function of the suction device 10 can be switched on and/or parameterized using a cleaning switch 28.
  • a socket 29 permanently installed on the suction device 10 enables an electrical energy consumer to be plugged in. The socket 29 is electrically connected to the connection cable 18.
  • the suction device 10 optionally provides additional functions that the operator can select as required: On the control wall 23 there is a module holder 30 for selectively holding functional modules 50a, 50d, which provide electrical, optical and acoustic functions.
  • the module receptacle 30 is designed in the form of a receptacle shaft that is closed. Circumferential walls 32, 33 extend from the control wall 23 in the direction of the interior of the vacuum cleaner housing 11 to a bottom 31 of the module holder 30. This prevents dirt from penetrating through the module receptacle 30 into the interior of the vacuum cleaner housing 11.
  • a sealing arrangement 35 with a seal 36 is provided.
  • the seal 36 is, for example, an O-ring which is arranged on an edge region 34 of the receiving space 37 approximately between the operating wall 23 and the peripheral walls 32, 33.
  • the module holder 30 can also be covered by a cover plate 38, the contour of which is the same as the front walls 51a - 51d ( Figure 11 ).
  • the receiving space 37 forms a plug-in receptacle for receiving the functional modules 50a - 50d, which can therefore be easily inserted into the module receptacle 30.
  • the functional modules 50a - 50d can be detachably connected to the suction cup housing 11.
  • the receiving space 37 designed as a plug-in receptacle already forms a component of connecting means 52 with which the functional module 50a - 50d can be detachably connected to the suction cup housing 11.
  • the connecting means 52 include guide ribs 39 which protrude in front of the peripheral walls 32, 33 and guide the respective functional module 50a - 50d and support it in the assembled state.
  • the connecting means 52 also include screws 53 which are inserted through screw domes 65 of the functional modules 50a - 50d, which are aligned with screw receptacles 40 of the module receptacle 30 when the respective functional module 50a - 50d is mounted on the vacuum cleaner 10.
  • the receiving space 37 has a depth that is sufficient so that the front wall 51a - 51d is essentially aligned with the control wall 23 when the respective functional module 50a - 50d is attached to the vacuum cleaner 11.
  • the connection arrangement 41 includes supply contacts 42 with a permanent current contact 43, which is always connected to the connecting cable 18, so that, for example, a potential of 230 V is present at the continuous current contact 43 when the connecting cable 18 is connected to an electrical supply network, not shown.
  • the supply contacts 42 include a switching supply contact 44, which then has a power supply potential when the switch 25 switches on the suction motor 12, and an automatic supply contact 45, to which a current sensor 46 for detecting a current flow via the automatic supply contact 45 is assigned.
  • supply contacts 42a (protective conductor / PE) and 42b (ground / M) are components of the supply contacts 42.
  • a data or signaling connection between the suction device and the functional module 50a - 50d is possible via suction device signal contacts 47.

  • the functional module 50a has a compressed air connection arrangement 54 with compressed air connections 55a, 55b, to which a compressed air hose can be connected.
  • the compressed air connection 55a includes a quick coupling, while the compressed air connection 55b forms, so to speak, a counterpart for a quick coupling, which is arranged on a compressed air hose, not shown.
