Filter device for a vacuum cleaner and filter cleaning method

In a first aspect, the invention relates to a filter device for a vacuum cleaner. The filter device has two chambers, at least one of which participates in the suction operation of the vacuum cleaner while a filter element of the other chamber can be cleaned. As a result, while one filter element is being cleaned, the suction operation can be maintained by the other chamber of the vacuum cleaner. This advantage is made possible by an elastic membrane which can change its shape or move when the chamber to be cleaned is aerated. The aeration takes place using a pressure compensation flow which can enter the chamber to be cleaned through an aeration channel and an aeration opening. A cleaning pulse, which can, for example, ensure that a caked filter cake is loosened and falls into the dust collecting receptacle of the vacuum cleaner, is applied to the filter element by the movement or change in shape of the elastic membrane. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for cleaning a filter device in a vacuum cleaner.
