- Vacuum cleaners can pick up dust or dry dirt from smooth and rough surfaces. Smaller vacuum cleaners, often battery-operated, are often used as table vacuum cleaners and to vacuum up minor local dirt.
- a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned at the outset which has a housing and a blower arrangement which is designed to generate an air flow.
- a removable dirt container can be mounted on the housing.
- the dirt container has a dirty air inlet which is in fluid communication with the blower arrangement.
- a filter serves to separate dirt from the air flow, wherein the filter is mounted between the dirt container and the blower arrangement.
- the housing comprises at least one air outlet for discharging clean air from the blower arrangement.
- the removable dirt container has a protruding lip which is arranged such that it overlaps the air outlet and directs the air flow away from the dirty air inlet.
- a suction device which is characterized in that the suction power is variable, wherein two suction power levels are provided, namely a dry cleaning suction level for sucking in exclusively dry dirt and a wet cleaning suction level for sucking in liquid or sucking in a, in particular dirty, mixture of air and liquid.
- the suction device according to the invention has the very special advantage that not only dry suction material can be sucked in, but also liquids, for example drinks accidentally spilled on the table, whereby it is advantageously also possible to suck in solid dirt particles, such as bread crumbs, together with the liquid.
- the invention also makes it possible, for example, to remove the mixture of mud, stones and water that is left on the floor when a house is cleaned with wet, dirty shoes are entered.
- any liquid (depending on the type of contamination to be removed) contained in the sucked-in fluid flow is separated (at least for the most part) from the fluid flow by means of the liquid separator.
- the term liquid separator refers to a device that separates liquid from a fluid flow and/or ensures that separated liquid remains separated from the fluid flow.
- the liquid separator also has the task of ensuring that as little liquid as possible gets into an air filter downstream of the liquid separator in the fluid flow, in particular a suspended matter filter, especially a HEPA filter, and/or into a fan downstream of the liquid separator in the fluid flow and/or is expelled through the clean air outlet opening.
- the liquid separator can have several liquid separator stages, which are preferably connected in series.

- the receiving space can advantageously be formed at least partially by at least a part of the suction part housing.
- a design in which the suction part, in particular adjacent to the dirt suction opening, has a receiving space for dirt and sucked-in liquid, is particularly advantageous because, among other things, the suction device is usually held at an angle during suction operation (apart from cleaning ceilings, walls or windows) and with the suction part pointing downwards, so that sucked-in protective particles and liquid only have to be lifted against the force of gravity for a short distance by means of the fluid flow before they reach the receiving space.
- the dirt suction opening is the opening of the suction part which is designed to be brought directly close to the surface on which and/or on which the dirt and/or liquid to be sucked in is located.
- a dirt suction opening edge surrounding the dirt suction opening is brought directly close to the surface or into contact with the surface on which and/or on which the dirt and/or liquid to be sucked in is located.

- the drain opening is preferably arranged outside the fluid flow.
- a drain opening closure by means of which the drain opening can be closed, and in particular the seals of the drain opening closure, are not stressed by the fluid flow. In particular, this advantageously prevents liquid and/or air from being accidentally pushed out past the seal of the drain opening closure due to the effect of the fluid flow.

- the filter is preferably also designed to remove dirt particles from the air stream after the liquid contained in the sucked-in fluid (or at least a large part of the liquid) and possibly larger dirt particles have already been removed by means of the liquid separator.
- the filter can be designed as an EPA filter (Efficient Particulate Air Filter) or as a HEPA filter (High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filter).
- the filter housing inlet opening is arranged adjacent to the suction part housing in such a way that a gap, in particular an annular gap, is formed between the edge of the filter housing inlet opening and the suction part housing.
- the gap can advantageously have a gap width in the range from 1 mm to 10 mm, in particular in the range from 1 mm to 5 mm. Such a gap width is sufficient to suck in air, but at the same time very narrow to prevent liquid from being sucked into the filter housing together with the air.
- This special arrangement of the filter housing inlet opening has the very special advantage that sucked-in liquid in the receiving space and in particular does not enter an air filter, in particular a HEPA filter, downstream of the liquid separator in the fluid flow and/or a fan or is expelled through the clean air outlet opening.

- the filter housing can then be inserted into the suction part housing, in particular through the suction part outlet opening, in particular in a form-fitting manner.
- the filter housing is or can be inserted into the suction part housing in a form-fitting manner, in particular in a way that is removable again without tools and/or without destruction.
- the filter housing is inserted into the suction part housing through the suction part outlet opening and can be removed again through the suction part outlet opening, for example for a cleaning process.

- At least part of the labyrinth is formed by the arrangement of the suction pipe relative to the suction part housing.
- the formation of a labyrinth can be achieved by arranging the suction pipe and the filter housing axially and/or radially overlapping next to one another.
- a labyrinth in particular such an axial and/or radial overlap of the suction pipe and the filter housing, can be achieved, for example, by the distance of the filter housing inlet opening to the dirt intake opening being smaller than the distance of the suction pipe outlet opening to the dirt intake opening, and/or by the distance of the filter housing inlet opening to the suction pipe inlet opening being smaller than the distance of the suction pipe outlet opening to the suction pipe inlet opening and/or by the distance of the filter housing inlet opening to the suction pipe inlet opening being smaller than the length of the suction pipe.
- the distance of the suction pipe outlet opening to the drive part is smaller than the distance of the Filter housing inlet opening to the drive part, and/or that the distance of the intake manifold outlet opening to the filter housing outlet opening is smaller than the distance of the filter housing inlet opening to the filter housing outlet opening, and/or that the distance of the intake manifold outlet opening to the filter housing outlet opening is smaller than the length of the filter housing.
- suction pipe ends freely in the suction part housing.
- suction pipe ends freely in the suction part housing means that one end of the suction pipe, in particular the end of the suction pipe which has the suction pipe outlet opening, is arranged at a distance from the inner wall of the suction part. This advantageously ensures that sucked-in liquid which sloshes along an inner wall of the suction part when the suction device is moved cannot get back into the suction pipe. Rather, at least the majority of the liquid can at most get between the inner wall of the suction part and the suction pipe, which is not relevant with regard to the risk of the liquid accidentally escaping.
- the inner wall of the suction part can be the inner wall of the suction part housing or the inner wall of a receiving space of the suction part arranged in the suction part housing or the inner wall of a container arranged in the suction part housing.
- the feature that the suction pipe ends freely in the suction part housing is also advantageous if at least one additional means, for example a closure flap arranged at the end of the suction pipe, is present which counteracts the leakage of liquid, since the at least one additional means cannot generally prevent leakage 100%.
- the wet-dry vacuum cleaner known from US 4,536,914 has the disadvantage that its closure flap is activated by the negative pressure in the suction part and is always open when the device is switched on, so that liquid can escape if the device is used overhead when it is switched on.

- the inner wall of the suction part can, as already mentioned, be the inner wall of the suction part housing or the inner wall of a suction part receiving space arranged in the suction part housing or the inner wall of a container arranged in the suction part housing.
- the wet-dry vacuum cleaner known from US 4 536 914 has the disadvantage that the liquid, for example when vacuuming the underside of a ceiling, gets directly into the air filter and through it into the fan.
- the suction pipe in particular the end of the suction pipe which has the suction pipe outlet opening, ends freely in the suction part housing.
- the suction pipe in particular the end of the suction pipe which has the suction pipe outlet opening, ends freely in the receiving space for the liquid and/or in the container.
- the suction pipe outlet opening is arranged in the receiving space for dirt and sucked-in liquid or immediately adjacent to the receiving space for dirt and sucked-in liquid.
- an impact surface can advantageously be arranged against which the sucked-in fluid and the sucked-in dirt collide.
- the impact surface can, for example, be part of an outer surface of the filter housing.
- the sucked-in liquid sticks to the impact surface and then drips off and remains in the receiving space.
- Larger sucked-in dirt particles lose their kinetic energy by impacting the impact surface and also remain in the receiving space.

The air is then expelled from the suction device through the at least one clean air outlet opening.
- the drive part is elongated, in particular at least partially cylindrical.
- the drive part can have a main body and a handle, in particular arranged directly adjacent to the main body.
- the main body can advantageously be elongated and/or be essentially cylindrical in shape.

- This embodiment has the very special advantage that the motor can be arranged outside the fluid flow, which ensures that no liquid can reach the motor or other electrical components that are connected to the motor or to which the motor is connected. Only the drive shaft has to run through a partition arranged between the impeller chamber and the motor chamber, which is preferably sealed relative to the partition with a suitable shaft seal, in particular by means of a radial shaft seal or an axial shaft seal.
- an electronic control device and/or an electrical energy storage device such as a battery, can also be arranged in the motor chamber.
- the motor chamber is preferably arranged outside the fluid flow, particularly for the reasons mentioned above.

- the suction power can be changed.
- Two suction power levels are provided, namely a dry cleaning suction level for sucking up only dry dirt and a wet cleaning suction level for sucking up liquid or for sucking up a (dirty) mixture of air and liquid. It has been shown that a lower suction level is sufficient for sucking up liquid. This has the advantage that energy is saved and any energy storage device, such as a rechargeable battery, is emptied more slowly.
- the wet cleaning suction level has the particular advantage that the risk of some of the sucked-in liquid getting into the air filter downstream of the liquid separator is reduced.
- the electrical drive power of the drive motor in the dry cleaning suction stage is higher than in the wet cleaning suction stage.

- the suction device is switched off if the push button is subsequently pressed again.
- an automatic switching device which automatically switches between the suction power levels.
- the automatic switching device switches between the suction power levels depending on whether the fluid being sucked in contains a liquid.
- Such an embodiment has the very special advantage that the user does not need to adjust the suction power level himself.
- the user can switch off the automatic function if necessary in order to select the suction power level himself.
- a liquid sensor can be present, for example, whereby the automatic switching device automatically switches from the dry cleaning suction stage to the wet cleaning suction stage as soon as the liquid sensor detects the suction of liquid and/or the presence of sucked-in liquid in the suction part.
