- Object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning system of the type mentioned, which has a higher electrical safety.
- the device-side contact elements and the station-side contact elements have first contact elements and second contact elements.
- the first contact elements are arranged in at least one recess which is formed on a housing of the first contact elements comprehensive floor cleaning device or charging station, wherein the first contact elements are arranged opposite to an outer contour formed by the housing reset in the at least one recess, and in that the charging station or floor cleaning device comprising the second contact elements comprises at least one electrically insulating contact element carrier to which the second contact elements are fixed and the second contact elements are set back relative to the end face engaging in the at least one recess in the loading position of the floor cleaning device.

- the contact element carrier can engage so far in the recess until the first contact elements protrude beyond its end face and each contact a second contact element.
- the risk is significantly reduced that an undesirable discharge of the at least one battery is effected by a conductive object contacting the device-side contact elements. Furthermore, the risk can be reduced that the station-side contact elements are short-circuited by a conductive object and the charging station is thereby damaged. Nevertheless, it is found in practice that the device-side and the station-side contact elements can be found reliably when moving the floor cleaning device into the loading position so that the at least one battery can be charged.
- first contact elements and the second contact elements are of different sizes, so that they can couple together in the loading position of the floor cleaning device in a simpler manner.
- first contact elements are smaller than the second contact elements. This facilitates the first contact elements, to engage in the at least one contact element carrier and to contact the second contact elements.

- the contact portion 92 is dimensioned such that it is arranged in a form-fitting manner in the frame 78, wherein it is aligned parallel to the plane of the retaining wall 84 and rests against this. With respect to the end face 86, the contact section 92 is set back on the frame 78 (FIG. 6). The end face 86 is formed by an edge of the frame 78. Accordingly, the contact portion 92 does not project beyond the end face 86 of the frame 78. In the circumferential direction, the contact portion 92 is frictionally bordered by the frame 78.

- the frame 78 are spaced apart, the distance being so great that the distance between the centers of the contact portions 92 is equal to the distance between the contact elements 54 from each other.
- both the floor cleaning device 12 and the charging station 14 increased electrical safety can be achieved.
- the device-side contact elements 54 are, as mentioned, set back relative to the outer contour of the housing 16. This reduces the likelihood that the floor cleaning implement 12 will contact an electrically conductive object that short circuits the contact elements 54 and triggers a discharge of the battery 34.
- the station-side contact elements 62 are set back relative to the end face 86 of the respective frame 78 and arranged at a distance from one another. This also reduces the likelihood that the contact elements 62 will inadvertently be shorted by a conductive object. This could result in a Stromfiuss resulting in damage to the charging station 14.
- the electrical safety of the cleaning system 10 is further enhanced by the fact that the contact element carrier 76 are made of a flame-retardant material. Even if the contact elements 62 are short-circuited to each other and the frame 78 heat due to current flow, they are protected against ignition. Despite the high electrical safety, the contact elements 54, 62 for charging the battery 34 in the cleaning system 10 can reliably couple together.
- the floor cleaning device 12 can move autonomously into the loading position at the charging station 14. For this purpose, the floor cleaning device 12 can first be moved so that it is positioned with the front side 26 facing the wall 66 in front of the charging station 14 (FIG. 1). Subsequently, the floor cleaning device 12 in straight ahead travel in the longitudinal direction 22 to the charging station 14.
- the projecting beyond the wall 66 frame 78 can engage in the recess 58.
- the contact elements arranged on the bottom 56 of the recess 58 can in turn engage in the frame 78 and electrically contact the contact elements 62 at the contact sections 92 (FIG. 7).
- the feeler part 36 is mounted movably and in particular floating on the floor cleaning device 12. If the floor cleaning device 12 does not drive into the loading position in exact straight ahead travel, it may be that initially only one contact element 54 couples with a contact element 62. As a result, the feeler part 36 is acted upon by a force which leads to displacement in the longitudinal direction 22 and / or transverse direction 24. As a result of the displacement, the tactile member 36 is moved so that the other contact elements 54, 62 can couple with each other. Even with a non-exact orientation of the floor cleaning device 12 relative to the charging station 14, the contact elements 54, 62 for taking the loading position of the floor cleaning device 12 can be found reliable.
- a charging station 102 is provided, which is at the same time a suction station.
- a suction unit not shown in the drawing and a dirt collecting container is added.

- the charging station 102 has a ramp-up area 106, which can be driven by the floor cleaning device 12 to move into the loading position.
- the floor cleaning device 12 can thereby be moved into a suction position.
- dirt collected in the dirt collecting container 29 can be sucked off via the suction opening 104 by means of the suction unit of the charging station 102 and deposited in the dirt collecting container of the charging station 102.
- a valve arrangement 108 is arranged at the bottom of the dirt collecting container 29.
- the ramp-up area 106 is inclined with respect to a horizontal and forms, for example, a ramp 110.
- the ramp 110 has for example an inclination of approximately 10 ° with respect to the horizontal. For this reason, the floor cleaning device 12 arranged on the ramp-up area 106 is likewise inclined with respect to the horizontal in the loading position.
- the frontal wall 66 of the housing 64 which faces the floor cleaning device 12, is oriented perpendicular to the horizontal.
- the contact element carrier 76 are held by adhesion and positive engagement in the receptacles of the housing 64 and the charging station 102. Instead of the cooperating projections 70, 80 and the recess 72, the contact element carrier 76, however, latching members 112.
- the locking members 112 are hook-shaped and engage behind edges of the through holes 68th
- a cover wall 90 is provided, in which the passage openings 88, however, are surrounded by frame-shaped enclosure, which form-fit the frames 78 of the contact element carrier 76.
- the frames 78 at the loading station 102 are oriented at an angle with respect to the wall 66 which results from a right angle and the inclination of the ramp 110 with respect to the horizontal. This is advantageous because the contact portions 92 of the contact elements 62 also define a plane in the cleaning system 100 which is aligned perpendicular to the contact plane of the floor cleaning device 12 arranged on the ramp-up area 106.
- the Cleaning system 100 is also guaranteed. Even with the cleaning system 100, the contact elements 54, 62 can be coupled to one another in a simple manner, although they are arranged with respect to the outer contour of the housing 16 or the end face 86 of the frame 78 set back on the floor cleaning device 12 and the charging station 102.
