  • Patent number: 12062769
    Abstract: A battery pack supplies an electrically driven treatment apparatus with an electric driving power, and includes: a stack limiting structure; a plurality of pouch cells, wherein the pouch cells are disposed in a stack, wherein the stack is disposed within the stack limiting structure; an outer temperature sensor, wherein the outer temperature sensor is disposed and configured for measuring an outer temperature of the stack outside the stack at an edge of the stack or the stack limiting structure, and/or outside the stack limiting structure; and a control device. The control device is configured for comparison of the measured outer temperature and/or a quantity based on the measured outer temperature to at least one temperature comparative value. The at least one temperature comparative value is a function of at least one of the pouch cells.

  • Patent number: 11600869
    Abstract: A battery pack supplies an electrically driven treatment apparatus with an electric driving power and includes: a first stack limiting structure and a second stack limiting structure, wherein the second stack limiting structure is disposed opposite and with a fixed distance to the first stack limiting structure; a plurality of pouch cells, wherein the pouch cells are disposed in a stack, wherein the stack is disposed between the first stack limiting structure and the second stack limiting structure and a height of the stack in a stack direction is limited by the first stack limiting structure and the second stack limiting structure; and a sensor arrangement. The sensor arrangement is disposed in the stack. The sensor arrangement extends across a major part of a surface of the pouch cells and is configured such that the height of the stack across the extension is approximately equal. The sensor arrangement has a pressure sensor.

  • Patent number: 9380919
    Abstract: A method is provided for cleaning at least one filter of a vacuum cleaner, wherein the vacuum cleaner comprises a suction inlet and a dirt collection container, which can be subjected to negative pressure by a suction unit via the at least one filter and a suction extraction line, and wherein for cleaning purposes the at least one filter can be acted upon by external air on the clean side via at least one external air valve, which moves from a closed valve position via an open valve position back into the closed valve position for cleaning the at least one filter. So that the at least one filter can be cleaned particularly effectively, the suction power of the suction unit can be increased before transfer of the external air valve to the open valve position and reduced again later. A vacuum cleaner for performing the method is also provided.
