  • Publication number: 20230309771
    Abstract: A invention relates to a filter device for a vacuum cleaner having a turbine device and a motor for generating a first main air stream and/or a second main air stream through a collecting tank of the vacuum cleaner, wherein the vacuum cleaner includes two chambers and filter elements of the filter device are dedusted by an abrupt change in position of a pressure shock element in the chambers. Since, when one of the two chambers is being dedusted, the suction operation of the vacuum cleaner can be maintained through the other chamber, the filter dedusting can advantageously take place during continued suction operation of the vacuum cleaner. A method for dedusting a filter device in a vacuum cleaner, wherein, as a result of a valve being actuated, an air volume is driven out of one of the two chambers.

  • Publication number: 20230284853
    Abstract: A filter device for a vacuum cleaner. The filter device has two chambers, of which in each case at least one participates in suction operation of the vacuum cleaner, while a filter element of the other chamber can be dedusted. As a result, while one filter element is being dedusted, suction operation can be maintained through the other chamber of the vacuum cleaner. This advantage is allowed by an elastic membrane, which can change shape and/or move when the chamber to be dedusted is ventilated. The ventilation is effected by a pressure equalizing stream which can pass through a ventilation channel and a ventilation opening into the chamber to be dedusted. As a result of the movement and/or change in shape of the elastic membrane, a dedusting pulse is applied to the filter element, which can ensure, for example, that a solid filter cake is detached and drops into the dust collecting tank of the vacuum cleaner. A method for dedusting a filter device in a vacuum cleaner is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230263351
    Abstract: A filter device for a vacuum cleaner having a turbine device and a motor. The vacuum cleaner includes two chambers and filter elements of the filter device are dedusted by an abrupt change in position of a dividing element in the chambers. Since, when one of the two chambers is being dedusted, the suction operation of the vacuum cleaner can be maintained through the other chamber, the filter dedusting can advantageously take place during continued suction operation of the vacuum cleaner. A method for dedusting a filter device in a vacuum cleaner, wherein, as a result of a valve being actuated, an air volume is driven out of one of the two chambers so that a dividing element is advantageously made to change position, and this can result in a backflushing pulse and mechanical shaking of the filter element, and dedusting of the filter device.

  • Publication number: 20230152190
    Abstract: A kit has a separating device and a particle sensor. The separating device is arranged upstream of the particle sensor and is set up to leave only respirable particles in the fluid stream, so that only those particles which have a particle diameter in a range from 0 to 10 ?m reach the particle sensor and are analyzed by it. As a result, the particle sensor can be effectively protected from undesired contamination and its measuring accuracy can be increased considerably by reducing the number of particles to be analyzed that enter its measuring region. In a second aspect, the invention relates to the use of the proposed kit in a dust device. In further aspects, the invention relates to a dust device which includes a proposed kit, as well as a method for controlling a dust device in dependence on the measurement data determined with the kit.
