Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Entsorgung von Schmutz mit einem beweglichen Schmutzsauger, der ein Gebläse und einen Schmutzsammelbehälter zur Aufnahme des aufgesaugten Schmutzes aufweist.The invention relates to an arrangement for the disposal of dirt with a movable vacuum cleaner, which is a blower and a dirt collector Contains the absorbed dirt.

Aus der DE 40 18 077 A1 ist eine derartige Anordnung bekannt. Dort wird ein Verfahren zur Entsorgung staubsaugender Geräte von gesundheitsgefährdenden Stäuben beschrieben. Zunächst wird der Staub durch einen Staubsauger aufgesaugt und in einen Schmutzsammelbehälter gesammelt, der in dem Staubsauger enthalten ist. Nach Unterbrechung der Staubzuführung durch Abschalten des Staubsaugers wird der in dem Schmutzsammelbehälter angesammelte Staub über einen mit einem Absperrorgan versehenen Austragsstutzen und einen auf diesem staubdicht aufgezogenen Schlauch in einen mit letzterem staubdicht verbundenen Entsorgungsbehälter überführt, nach Erreichen des gewünschten Füllungsgrades dieses Behälters der Austragstutzen abgesperrt, der Abfüllschlauch unterhalb des Behälters abgebunden oder abgeklemmt und dann erst von dem Stutzen abgezogen. Auf diese Weise wird bei dem bekannten Staubsauger eine Entsorgung des Staubes möglich gemacht, ohne dass der gesammelte Staub infolge von Undichtigkeiten bei der Überführung von dem Abscheider zu dem Entsorgungsbehälter austritt.Such an arrangement is known from DE 40 18 077 A1. There is a procedure described for the disposal of vacuuming devices from health-endangering dusts. First, the dust is sucked up by a vacuum cleaner and into one Collected dirt container, which is contained in the vacuum cleaner. After an interruption the dust supply by switching off the vacuum cleaner is in the Dirt collecting container dust collected over a provided with a shut-off device Discharge nozzle and a dust-tight hose pulled into one transferred to the latter dustproof connected disposal container after reaching the desired degree of filling of this container of the discharge nozzle, which Filling hose tied or clamped below the container and only then from deducted from the nozzle. In this way, in the known vacuum cleaner Disposal of the dust made possible without the collected dust due to Leaks in the transfer from the separator to the disposal container exit.

Nachteilig an dem bekannten Gerät ist jedoch, dass eine Vielzahl von manuellen Schritten durchzuführen ist, um ein derart sicheres Überführen des Staubes aus dem Abscheider in den Entsorgungsbehälter zu erreichen. Eine derartige Vorgehensweise ist nicht geeignet, um für die Entsorgung von Schmutz in einem Haushalt Anwendung zu finden. In einem Haushalt kommt für die Entfernung von Schmutz nur ein einfach zu handhabendes Verfahren in Betracht.A disadvantage of the known device, however, is that a large number of manual steps is to be carried out in such a safe transfer of the dust from the separator into to reach the disposal container. Such an approach is not suitable to be used for the disposal of dirt in a household. In one Household only comes with an easy-to-use procedure for removing dirt into consideration.

Dieser Vorgang wird entweder dadurch aktiviert, dass beim Hineinfahren des Schmutzsaugers 1 in die Basisstation 2 ein elektrischer Kontakt hergestellt wird, beispielsweise mittels einer Lichtschranke oder dadurch, dass durch einen Bediener eine Bedienhandhabe 19 betätigt wird. This process is activated either by moving the vacuum cleaner in 1 an electrical contact is made in the base station 2, for example by means of a light barrier or by an operator using an operating handle 19 is operated.

Der Schmutzsauger 1 ist vorzugsweise ein durch einen Akkumulator betriebenes Gerät und weist einen elektrischen Stecker 20 (Fig. 1) auf, der beim Hineinfahren des Schmutzsaugers 1 in die Basisstation 2 automatisch an eine zugehörige Steckdose 21 in der Basisstation angekoppelt wird. Wenn der Schmutzsauger anstelle eines Akkus mit einer Brennstoffzelle betrieben wird, die ihre Energie aus Wasserstoff oder Methanol erhält, lässt sich in entsprechender Weise Wasserstoff oder Methanol im Bereich der Basisstation durch einen Anschluss an einen entsprechenden Vorrat zuführen.The vacuum cleaner 1 is preferably a device operated by an accumulator and has an electrical connector 20 (Fig. 1), which when driving the vacuum cleaner 1 into the base station 2 automatically to an associated socket 21 in the base station is coupled. If the vacuum cleaner is replaced with a battery instead of a battery Fuel cell is operated, which receives its energy from hydrogen or methanol, can be hydrogen or methanol in the area of the base station in a corresponding manner by connecting to an appropriate supply.

Um den in den Entsorgungsbehälter 15 überführten Schmutz möglichst stark zu komprimieren, ist am Boden des Entsorgungsträgers 15 vorzugsweise eine Austrageinrichtung 22 (Fig. 4) angeordnet, die über eine Zuführöffnung 23 den Schmutz aus dem Entsorgungsbehälter 15 aufnimmt. Die Austrageinrichtung 22 weist eine Verdichterschnecke 24 auf, die den aufgenommenen Schmutz in einem Verdichtungsraum 25 verdichtet. Die Verdichterschnecke 24 bewegt sich in einem Gehäuse 26, in dem sie über Lager 27 gelagert ist. Über ein Wellenstumpf 28 und ein Zahnrad 29 ist sie mit einem Antriebsmotor (hier nicht dargestellt) verbunden.In order to compress the dirt transferred into the disposal container 15 as much as possible, is preferably a discharge device at the bottom of the disposal carrier 15 22 (Fig. 4) arranged, the dirt from the disposal container via a feed opening 23 15 records. The discharge device 22 has a compressor screw 24 on, which compresses the dirt picked up in a compression chamber 25. The Compressor screw 24 moves in a housing 26 in which it is supported via bearings 27 is. Via a stub shaft 28 and a gear 29, it is with a drive motor (not shown here) connected.

Wenn der Verdichtungsraum 25 mit einem Schmutzbrikett gefüllt ist, tritt dieses nach Öffnung einer Klappe 3 in einen Beutel 31 aus, in dem die Schmutzpakete oder Schmutzbriketts gesammelt werden.If the compression space 25 is filled with a dirt briquette, this occurs after opening a flap 3 in a bag 31 in which the dirt packs or dirt briquettes to be collected.

Alternativ zu der Austrageinrichtung 22 lässt sich eine Häckselvorrichtung im unteren Bereich des Entsorgungsbehälters 15 vorsehen, die den Schmutz so weit zerkleinert, dass er mittels Wasser über das Abwassersystem abgeführt werden kann.As an alternative to the discharge device 22, a chopping device can be placed in the lower area Provide the disposal container 15 that crushes the dirt so far that it can be discharged through the sewage system using water.

Anstelle des Gebläses 18 lässt sich an einer anderen Anordnung das Gebläse 13 verwenden, um den Schmutz aus dem Schmutzsammelbehälter 10 in den Entsorgungsbehälter 15 zu befördern, wenn eine Luftumleitung vorhanden ist, die den von dem Gebläse 13 angesaugten Luftstrom derart umlenkt, dass er den Schmutz in den Saugbehälter 15 hineinsaugt.
Anstelle der Anordnung des Entsorgungsbehälters oberhalb des Schmutzbehälters 10 ist auch eine andere Anordnung realisierbar, bei der der Entsorgungsbehälter 15 unterhalb des Schmutzbehälters 10 liegt, so dass in diesem Fall der Schmutz bereits aufgrund der Schwerkraft durch eine unterhalb des Schmutzbehälters 10 in dem Gehäuse 4 angeordnete Öffnung in den Entsorgungsbehälter 15 hineinfällt. Auch dieser Vorgang kann durch Saugen oder Klopfen unterstützt werden. Anstelle der Absaugung des Schmutzes aus dem Schmutzbehälter 10 kann auch der gesamte Schmutzsammelbehälter 10 oder ein in ihm enthaltener Filterbeutel oder Container in den unter ihm angeordneten Entsorgungsbehälter 15 hinabfallen, so dass, wenn ein Filterbeutel vorhanden ist, auch dieser als ganzer zusammen mit dem in ihm enthaltenen Schmutz durch einen entsprechenden Verdichter, beispielsweise in Form eines Kolbens in einem Zylinder, verdichtet wird, damit er anschließend entnommen werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird eine hygienische Entsorgung des Schmutzes geschaffen.In another arrangement, instead of the blower 18, the blower 13 can be used to convey the dirt from the dirt collecting container 10 into the disposal container 15 if there is an air diversion that deflects the air flow drawn in by the blower 13 in such a way that it directs the dirt sucked into the suction container 15.
Instead of arranging the disposal container above the dirt container 10, another arrangement can also be implemented in which the disposal container 15 lies below the dirt container 10, so that in this case the dirt is already gravitationally forced through an opening arranged in the housing 4 below the dirt container 10 falls into the disposal container 15. This process can also be supported by sucking or tapping. Instead of the suction of the dirt from the dirt container 10, the entire dirt collecting container 10 or a filter bag or container contained therein can also fall down into the disposal container 15 arranged below it, so that, if a filter bag is present, this as a whole together with the one in it dirt is compressed by a suitable compressor, for example in the form of a piston in a cylinder, so that it can then be removed. In this way, hygienic disposal of the dirt is created.

Darüber hinaus ist durch die elektrische Steckverbindung mittels des Steckers 20 und der Steckdose 21 eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, um den Schmutzsauger 1 wieder mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen.In addition, the electrical connector by means of the connector 20 and Socket 21 created a way to get the vacuum cleaner 1 back with electrical To supply energy.

Anstelle eines von Hand geführten Gerätes ist in einer anderen Ausführungsform der Schmutzsauger 1 ein Saugroboter.Instead of a hand-held device is in another embodiment Vacuum cleaner 1 a robot vacuum.

Zusätzlich zu der Steckverbindung ist auch eine Daten-Schnittstelle vorhanden, die einen Daten- oder Programm-Austausch mit der Basisstation 2 erlaubt. Auf diese Weise können mittels eines an der Basisstation angeordneten Displays 32 (Fig. 2, 3) dem Bediener Daten angezeigt werden, beispielsweise der Füllungsgrad des Schmutzsammelbehälters 10, der augenblicklich Energie verbraucht, der Ladezustand des Akkus, der Abnutzungszustand der Bürste 12 usw.In addition to the plug-in connection, there is also a data interface available Data or program exchange with base station 2 allowed. That way you can to the operator by means of a display 32 (FIGS. 2, 3) arranged on the base station Data are displayed, for example the filling level of the dirt collection container 10, which currently consumes energy, the state of charge of the battery, the state of wear the brush 12 etc.
