Abstract: A method for adjusting a position of suction lips of a floor cleaning machine relative to a floor to be cleaned is proposed, wherein a first suction lip and at least one second suction lip located at a distance therefrom, which are arranged on a suction beam, contact the floor, a fan device generates a suction flow which subjects a space between the first suction lip and the second suction lip to a negative pressure, a negative pressure is detected, and the suction flow is adjusted such that the negative pressure lies at a set value or in a set value range, so that an angle of incidence of the first suction lip and the second suction lip on the floor lies at a set value or in a set value range.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaning tool for a cleaning device, the cleaning tool being subject to wear during operation. In order to make it easier to identify wear, the invention proposes that the cleaning tool comprise a sensor device with a sensor element which has a physical characteristic variable which changes as a function of the degree of wear of the cleaning tool. The invention also proposes a cleaning device having such a cleaning tool, the cleaning device having a detector device which is coupled to the sensor device for the purpose of sensing the change in the physical characteristic variable of the sensor element, and having an indicator device which is connected to the detector device.

Abstract: In order to obtain a flat jet having a particularly uniform distribution of pressure in a flat jet nozzle for a high-pressure cleaning device with an outlet opening and a flow channel arranged upstream of and opening into this outlet opening, it is suggested that the flow channel and the outlet opening have a circular cross section transversely to the direction of flow and be arranged concentrically to one another, that the flow channel narrow conically in the direction of flow and merge into a circular-cylindrical section located upstream in front of the outlet opening, the end of this section forming the outlet opening, and that pocket-like extensions of the flow channel be arranged on diametrally opposite sides of the flow channel in the region where the conical section of the flow channel merges into the circular-cylindrical section, these extensions being arranged and designed symmetrically to one another, extending essentially over the entire diameter of the circular-cylindrical section and having a def

Abstract: In order to minimize the dimensions of the spring (22) and the pump motor in a high-pressure cleaning device comprising a high-pressure pump pumping cleaning liquid out of a suction line (1) into a pressure line (6) leading to a discharge device, a bypass line (18) leading from the pressure line to the suction line, a valve body (19) closing the outlet opening (8) between pressure line and bypass line, an actuating element (20) for the valve body which is movable against the valve body contrary to the action of a spring (22) into a position displacing the valve body into the open position, and an operating cylinder divided by a piston (10) sealingly displaceable therein and coupled to the actuating element into two chambers, (11,12) one of which is arranged between the outlet opening and the bypass line and the other of which communicates with the pressure line via a control line, the control line (13) exits the pressure line (6) in the region of a cross-sectional constriction (15) in this pressure line.
