Cleaning device and method for operating cleaning device

Abstract

The invention relates to a cleaning device (1), particularly a household vacuum cleaner, with a blower (2) and an evaluation and control device (4) for varying a suction power of the blower (2) in response to a determined allocation state of the cleaning device (1) to a surface (3), namely a contact state in which the cleaning device (1) is placed on the surface (3), or a non-contact state in which the cleaning device (1) is lifted from the surface (3). In order to provide a cleaning device (1) with which a surface remote cleaning task can be carried out successfully, it is proposed that the evaluation and control device (4) arranged to set the suction power upon detection of the non-contact state at a higher level than upon detection of a contact state. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating the cleaning device (1).

Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning device, especially a household vacuum cleaner. The cleaning device has a blower and an analysis and control device for changing the suction power of the blower according to the determined associated state of the cleaning device and the surface, and the associated state refers to The contact state where the cleaning device is placed on the surface or the non-contact state where the cleaning device is lifted from the surface.

[0002] In addition, the present invention relates to a method for operating a cleaning device, wherein the associated state of the cleaning device and the surface is determined, and the contact state where the cleaning device is placed on the surface or the cleaning device is lifted off the surface. A non-contact state, and wherein the suction power of the blower of the cleaning device is changed according to the determined associated state of the cleaning device. Background technique
