Insbesondere aus der EP 0 678 271 B1 ist bereits eine Schaltungsanordnung zur Saugleistungsregelung eines Staubsaugers bekannt, dessen Gebläsemotor ein mittels einer Ansteuerschaltung steuerbares Halbleiterelement zugeordnet ist, wobei die Ansteuerschaltung einen Vergleicher enthält, dem ein sich periodisch veränderndes Signal und ein einstellbares Steuersignal zugeführt ist und aus dessen Ausgangssignal die Steuerimpulse für das Halbleiterschaltelement gebildet sind, und das Steuersignal für die Ansteuerschaltung wahlweise von Hand jeweils auf einen bestimmten Wert einstellbar oder mittels eines Druckschalters zwischen zwei vorgegebenen, unterschiedlichen werten umschaltbar ist. Eine solche Schaltungsanordnung kommt vorteilhaft zwar mit nur einem Druckbzw. Schiebeschalter aus.In particular from EP 0 678 271 B1, a circuit arrangement for controlling the suction power of a vacuum cleaner is already known, whose fan motor is assigned a controllable by means of a drive circuit semiconductor element, wherein the drive circuit includes a comparator to which a periodically changing signal and an adjustable control signal is supplied and from whose output signal, the control pulses are formed for the semiconductor switching element, and the control signal for the drive circuit either by hand each adjustable to a certain value or by means of a pressure switch between two predetermined, different values can be switched. Such a circuit arrangement is advantageous though with only one Druckbzw. Slide switch off.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Saugleistungsregelung eines Staubsaugers bereitzustellen, bei welcher insbesondere bei stark verschmutzen Bodenbelägen der erforderliche Leistungsbedarf schnell abgerufen werden kann.Proceeding from this, the present invention has the object to provide a device for controlling the suction power of a vacuum cleaner, in which particularly in heavily contaminated floor coverings the required power requirement can be retrieved quickly.

Advantageous embodiments and developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Saugleistungsregelung eines Staubsaugers baut auf gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen dadurch auf, dass über eine erste Endposition B hinaus ein Turbobetrieb des Gebläsemotors aktivierbar ist. In einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Turbobetrieb der Gebläsemotor stufenlos bis zu einer die Maximaldrehzahl des Gebläsemotors aktivierenden zweiten Endposition C einstellbar.The device according to the invention for controlling the suction power of a vacuum cleaner builds on generic devices in that a turbo operation of the fan motor can be activated beyond a first end position B addition. In a first embodiment of the invention, in the turbo mode, the fan motor is steplessly adjustable up to a second end position C activating the maximum speed of the fan motor.
Alternativ hierzu arbeitet im Turbobetrieb der Gebläsemotor unmittelbar mit Maximaldrehzahl.Alternatively, in the turbo mode, the fan motor operates directly at maximum speed.
Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt ist die erste Endposition B als mechanischer Widerstand ausgebildet, womit vorteilhaft keinerlei Eingriffe in bewährte Elektronikmodule des Staubsaugers erforderlich sind.Preferably according to the invention, the first end position B is designed as a mechanical resistance, which advantageously no interventions in proven electronic modules of the vacuum cleaner are required.
Soweit die Vorrichtung als in einer Führungsnut verschreibbare Schiebereglertaste ausgebildet ist, hat sich ein mechanischer Widerstand bewährt, welcher benachbart oder in der Führungsnut verläuft.Insofar as the device is designed as a slide control button which can be prescribed in a guide groove, a mechanical resistance has proven itself which runs adjacent or in the guide groove.

Um den Widerstand hinreichend Überwinden zu können, ist dieser vorzugsweise in Gestalt einer nach beiden Seiten abfallenden schiefen Ebene ausgebildet.To be able to overcome the resistance sufficiently, this is preferably in the form of a sloping to both sides inclined plane.
Die Leistungseinstellungen zwischen einer Ausgangs- A und der ersten Endposition B können stufenlos oder gestuft erfolgen.The power settings between an output A and the first end position B can be stepless or stepped.
In jedem Fall umfassen sie wenigstens einen ersten (niedrigen) Leistungsbereich für das Absaugen empfindlicher Stoffe (z.B. Gardinen), einen zweiten (mittleren) Leistungsbereich für die tägliche Reinigung bei geringer Verschmutzung und einen dritten (hohen) Leistungsbereich zur Reinigung robuster Bodenbeläge, Hartböden und/oder für starke Verschmutzung.In any case, they include at least a first (low) power range for the suction of delicate fabrics (eg curtains), a second (medium) power range for daily low pollution cleaning and a third (high) power range for cleaning robust floorings, hard floors and / or or for heavy pollution.
