Apparatus for collecting garbage and debris for a motor-sweeper
A method for collecting garbage from a surface includes providing a motor-sweeper including a sweep broom. A rear guide is provided between the sweep broom and the collecting container extending downwards from the collecting container close to the sweep broom. The sweep broom rests with the guide assembly onto the surface, and the sweep broom is rotated in order to collect and convey the garbage into the collecting container. The rotation of the sweep broom causes the garbage to be swept forwardly and upwardly with respect to the forward motion of the motor-sweeper. In response to the bristles of the sweep broom wearing, the sweep broom is moved toward the surface and the guide assembly and the rear guide are moved towards the sweep broom so as to maintain uniform spaces between the sweep broom and the guide assembly, and the sweep broom and the rear guide.
The invention provides an autonomous surface treatment vehicle, e.g. a floor cleaner, with an autonomy system navigating according to a map, a scanning sensor to detect a position of an obstacle within a scanning zone and generate a detection signal. A safety system is arranged to generate a safety stop in case the detection signal indicates an obstacle within a safety zone. The safety system can enter a special mode of operation, e.g. upon request from the autonomy system, where a special safety zone selection algorithm selects the safety zone e.g. from a special set of pre-determined safety zones. Especially, such special mode can provide safety zones with a relaxed speed limit in combination with a restricted direction limit, so as to provide a faster driving near a wall or similar known obstacle.

DIRT COLLECTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAID DEVICE
The invention relates to a method for operating a dirt collecting device (2) for a sweeping vehicle (1) or for a vacuum cleaner nozzle (60) of a floor or an upright vacuum cleaner, which each comprise a suction fan (8) that has a controllable speed and/or power, wherein in a first method step the suction power of the suction fan (8) is set at such a low level that the suction pressure in the dirt collecting device (2) or the vacuum cleaner nozzle (60) is just sufficient to convey the absorbed coarse dirt (17) into the intermediate container (10, 70) and deposit it there as well as to convey the absorbed fine dirt (18) into a collection container (4, 6) arranged downstream thereof (normal operation). In a second method step, the filling level in the intermediate container (10, 70) with respect to the coarse dirt (17) deposited therein is detected and in a third method step, if the filling level in the intermediate container (10, 70) is exceeded, the suction power of the suction fan (8) is increased in such a manner that the coarse dirt (17), which is temporarily deposited in the intermediate container (10, 70), is dispersible and conveyed into the collection container (4, 6) arranged downstream thereof (emptying mode).

The present invention refers to a floor washing-drying machine, in particular of the drives-on-board kind, provided with at least a front driving and steering wheel (3), a pair of rear wheels (5), a brush-carrying head (4) positioned between the front driving wheel and the supporting axle of the rear wheels, and a wiping and vacuuming device (6) arranged behind the rear wheels. The brush-carrying head (4) is connected with the machine frame through a support and steering system of four-arm linkage type (X,Y,J,W; 17,19) which is driven by a gear steering device (11,12,14,15). The technical solution allows to solve efficiently the problem of collecting washing liquid and to dampen impacts of the machine against obstacles which it may encounter along its path.
A portable vacuum cleaning system includes a portable vacuum unit for cleaning debris. The vacuum unit is powered by a self-contained first electric power storage device and may be carried with a strap in backpack-fashion. The system also includes a cart defining a receptacle for receiving the vacuum unit. The vacuum unit may be used when supported by the cart or when carried by an operator. A second electric power storage device is supported by the cart and electrically connectable to the vacuum unit for charging the first electric power storage device when the vacuum unit is supported by the cart. Further, when disposed in the cart, the vacuum unit is disposed at an angle of about 45 degrees allowing for ease of movement of the cart.
The invention relates to filter cleaning in a vacuum having a switchable flap element, the cleaning of the filter or of parts of the filter being carried out by supplying a secondary air flow to the interior of the filter to be cleaned, and air being able to flow through the filters separately from each other from the outside to the inside in the vacuum container in a sealed manner, and a flap element disposed in a chamber housing being pivotable, by means of the pivoting of which openings may be closed and released, the secondary air flow reaching the surface of the filter to be cleaned from the inside toward the outside in pulses, characterized in that the flap element comprises at least two partial flaps, the pivoting of which is actuated by a pivot drive, the respective partial flap optionally closes the outflow opening of the respective filter chamber in the direction of the intake opening of the suction turbine, the blow-out side of the suction turbine delivers the created overpressure air into an overpressure chamber in which a chamber housing is disposed, the at least one drive element to be suddenly actuated comprises openings to be opened and closed, upon the opening of which the overpressure air flows through the chamber housing optionally into an impulse channel which branches off at that location and introduces the air into one or into the other filter chamber for cleaning.
