Suction-type cleaner with dedusting control for the filter or filters
A method for operating a suction-type cleaner, in which, in a manner controlled in the filter dedusting position by an electromagnetically actuated switchover valve arrangement ( 19, 20, 21 ), at least one filter ( 9 ), through which the dirt-laden air flow passes, is dedusted in the opposite direction to said air flow, and the dirt-laden suction air from the dirt-collecting container ( 1 ) firstly passes through the at least one filter ( 9 ) which is adjoined, in the flow direction, by a suction chamber ( 12 ), which is adjoined downstream by an intermediate chamber ( 26 ) which is arranged on the suction side of the turbine ( 30 ), and a pressure chamber ( 34 ) is arranged downstream of the turbine ( 30 ), wherein, in order to reduce the actuating force of the switchover valve arrangement ( 19, 20, 21 ) in the dedusting position of the suction-type cleaner, the pressure between the pressure chamber ( 34 ) and the intermediate chamber ( 26 ) is equalized.
1. A suction-type cleaner having a filter dedusting control in which cleaner, in the dedusting position, at least one filter through which dirt-laden air flows is dedusted by reversing a direction of air flow through said at least one filter, and at least one first valve electromagnetically actuated via a solenoid or another reversing device that abruptly switches to the dedusting position is allocated to the at least one filter; and the suction air first flows out of a dirt collection container through the at least one filter to which is connected, in the flow direction, a suction chamber having at least two openings, and the two openings are selectively closable using the first valve, wherein connected downstream of the suction chamber is an intermediate chamber that is arranged on the suction side of a turbine, and a pressure chamber is arranged downstream of the turbine, wherein for reducing the actuating force of the first valve, in the dedusting position of the suction-type container, the pressure between the pressure chamber and the intermediate chamber is equalized by a second valve that admits compressed air produced by the turbine into the intermediate chamber and eliminates the negative pressure prevailing in the intermediate chamber that opposes the lifting movement the solenoid.
2. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein for aerating the intermediate chamber, a valve plate of the second valve may be actuated, together with the first valve, and may be acted upon by the same drive.
3. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein for aerating the intermediate chamber, a valve plate of the second is arranged on a valve rod for actuating the first valve.
4. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein for aerating the intermediate chamber, the second valve is actuated separately from a drive for the first valve.
5. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein for aerating the intermediate chamber, a cross-section of a valve plate of the second valve is smaller than a cross-section of a valve plate that causes a closing movement at an inlet between the pressure chamber and the suction chamber.
6. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein, with respect to the first valve, a cross-section of a valve plate is about the same size as a cross-section of a valve plate of the second valve.
7. The suction-type cleaner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second valve is a spring-loaded return valve.
