Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning system with a base station for an automatically movable household appliance for cleaning and maintaining floor surfaces, the base station having a housing, the housing having an interface for coupling to the household appliance, the interface forming a suction channel between the base station and the household appliance, wherein the base station comprises a blower for generating a negative pressure for taking dirt from the household appliance into the base station by means of an air flow via the suction duct, wherein the cleaning system has at least one separating and collecting module for separating dirt from the air flow, the separating and Collection module is designed to be coupled to the housing of the base station.
  • Automatically mobile household appliances in the form of vacuum robots are used in private households and in industry to clean surfaces such as textile floor coverings and smooth floors.
  • the floor surface can be covered by a textile floor covering such as a rug or carpeting or by a hard floor such as e.g. B. a wooden parquet, laminate or PVC flooring can be formed.
  • Such robot vacuums with a power supply via accumulators as the energy storage unit have to be charged regularly and the dirt sucked up when cleaning floor surfaces has to be emptied.
  • base stations are known which have an interface for emptying the automatically movable household appliance via which the dirt sucked up by the household appliance and temporarily stored is sucked off the base station via an air stream and separated from the air stream and collected in the base station.
  • Base stations are currently only available with either a cyclone separator or with a dust bag as the separation system.
  • the invention therefore faces the problem of specifying an improved base station.
  • a base station According to the invention, this problem is solved by a base station according to claim 1. Because the cleaning system has at least one first separator and collection module that can be coupled to a first separation system for separating dirt from the air flow and at least one second separator and collection module that can be coupled to a second separation system that is different from the first separation system to separate dirt from the air flow includes, the same base station can be equipped with different separating systems using the attachable separating and collecting modules. This enables the customer to vary the separation technology for the separation system. Depending on the customer or region, either bagless or bag separation is preferred. With the modular choice between the separating and collection modules with different separating systems, the customer can select a suitable separating system specifically according to his needs.
  • the first separating system comprises a dust bag and the second separating system comprises a cyclone separator.
  • a separation system in the form of a dust bag accommodated in the separation and collection module customers who pay particular attention to hygiene can select a suitable separation system.
  • the second separation and collection module has a collection chamber, this collection chamber having an emptying opening to which a vacuum cleaner can be coupled for emptying the collection chamber.
  • the customer can use a conventional vacuum cleaner to empty the collection chamber in the separation and collection module very easily via the emptying opening suck off In this way, the base station can be emptied without the customer coming into contact with the dirt.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first separating and collecting module and the second separating and collecting module each have a supply air opening and an exhaust air opening, the supply air opening and the exhaust air opening of the two separating and collecting modules being positioned in the same way. With the supply air and exhaust air openings in the same position in the separation and collection modules, it is easy to direct the air flow generated by the fan of the base station when the separation and collection module is coupled to the base station housing through the respective separation and collection module and thus remove the dirt to be separated via the respective separation system.
  • the inlet air opening is positioned above the exhaust air opening when the separating and collecting modules are coupled to the housing of the base station.
  • the embodiment of the invention is also particularly advantageous in that the inlet air opening and the outlet air opening are positioned on different sides of the separating and collecting modules. With the arrangement of the inlet air opening and the outlet air opening on different sides of the separating and collecting modules, the air flow generated by the fan of the base station can be guided very easily through the separating and collecting modules.
  • the housing of the base station has a supply opening and a discharge opening, the supply opening contacting the inlet air opening when the separating and collecting modules are coupled to the housing of the base station, and the discharge opening contacting the supply air opening when the separating and collecting modules are coupled the housing of the base station contacts the exhaust air opening.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the first separating and collecting module and the second separating and collecting module are constructed identically on the outside. With the externally identical structure of the separation and collection modules, it is particularly easy to couple them to the same base station of the cleaning system.
  • the separating and collecting modules can be latched in the housing of the base station for coupling.
  • a secure connection can be established by locking the separation and collection modules in the housing of the base station.
  • the openings of the separating and collecting modules can be arranged correctly and close to the openings on the base station.
  • the separating and collecting modules can be inserted laterally into the housing of the base station. This has the advantage that a positioning and sealing can be realized by a protruding formation of the openings for intake and exhaust. Furthermore, the installation space of the base station can be reduced as a result, since the separating and collecting module thus represents part of the outer wall of the base station housing.
  • FIG. 1 a cleaning system is shown purely schematically.
  • the representation according to figure 1 shows a cleaning system 1 together with a household appliance 50 arranged on it.
  • the cleaning system 1 comprises a base station 2 onto which the independently movable household appliance 50 can drive.
  • the housing 3 of the base station 2 is shaped accordingly and provides a ramp 12.
  • the household appliance 50 drives onto this ramp 12, the household appliance 50 is coupled to the base station 2 via an interface 4 ( 2 ) which has a suction channel 5 ( 2 ) forms.
  • This interface 4 is in figure 2 particularly easy to recognize. Dirt can be transferred from the household appliance 50 to the base station 2 via this interface 4 .
  • the one at the Cleaning and care of the floor surfaces from the household appliance 50 that can be moved independently is sucked out of the household appliance 50 and conveyed into the base station 2 by an air flow which is generated by a fan in the base station 2 .
  • the air flow is then freed from the dirt picked up in a separation and collection module 6, 7 and the separated dirt is collected in the collection module.
  • it can be removed from the housing 3 of the base station 2 . After the collection module has been emptied, it can be coupled to the housing 3 of the base station 2 again.
  • a suitable separation system can be selected and used by simply coupling the corresponding separation and collection module 6, 7 to the housing 3 of the base station 2. This is in figure 3 indicated, where two can be coupled to the housing 3 of the base station 2 separating and collecting modules 6, 7 are shown.
  • the same base station 2 can be provided with different modular separation systems via the separation and collection modules 6, 7 that can be coupled.
  • the separating technology for the separating system can be varied according to customer requirements.
  • the first separating system is preferably designed as a dust bag arranged in the separating and collecting module 6 .
  • the second separating system is preferably designed as a cyclone separator and is accommodated in the second separating and collecting module 7 .
  • This second separating and collecting module 7 advantageously has a collecting chamber in which the separated dirt is collected.
  • This collection chamber advantageously has an emptying opening to which a vacuum cleaner of conventional design can be coupled for emptying the collection chamber.
  • a connection opening 13 is provided in the housing 3 of the base station 2, via which a conventional vacuum cleaner can also be coupled for emptying the collection chamber.
  • FIG 4 is one of the externally identically constructed separator and collection modules 6, 7 according to figure 3 shown in a single view.
  • the positioning of the inlet air opening 8 and the outlet air opening 9 of the separating and collecting modules 6, 7 can be seen very well from this individual view.
  • the inlet air opening 8 and the outlet air opening 9 are positioned in the same way in the externally identically constructed separating and collecting modules 6, 7.
  • the inlet air opening 8 is located above the outlet air opening 9. It can also be seen that the inlet air opening 8 and the outlet air opening 9 are positioned on different sides of the separating and collecting module 6, 7.
  • the inlet air opening 8 is located on the front side
  • the exhaust air opening 9 for expelling the air from the separating and collecting module 6, 7 is located on the side, but can also be arranged on the back, below or above.
  • the separating and collecting modules 6, 7 can be inserted laterally into the housing 3 of the base station 2. Both the separating and collecting modules 6, 7 that can be used from above according to the design from the Figures 1-3 as well as the separating and collecting modules 6, 7 that can be used on the side can simply be locked in the housing 3 when coupled to the base station 2, so that optimum positioning is possible.
  • the supply air openings 8 are contacted by the supply opening 10 in the housing 3 of the base station 2 .
  • the exhaust air openings 9 of the separating and collecting modules 6, 7 are contacted with an exhaust opening 11 during the coupling in the housing 3 of the base station 2.
  • the air stream for separating picked-up dirt can be guided very easily through the separating and collecting modules 6 , 7 via the contact of the two pairs of openings 8 , 10 , 9 , 11 .
