Abstract

The invention relates to a floor vacuum cleaner comprising a dust collector arrangement mounted on rollers and/or runners, a suction hose, a suction tube and a floor nozzle, wherein the floor nozzle is fluidically connected to the dust collector arrangement via the suction tube and the suction hose, also comprising a motorized fan unit for suctioning an air stream through the floor nozzle, wherein the motorized fan unit is arranged between the floor nozzle and the suction tube such that an air stream suctioned in through the floor nozzle flows through the motorized fan unit and into the suction tube.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A floor vacuum cleaner comprising a dust collector unit mounted on rollers and/or runners, a suction hose, a suction tube, floor nozzle, wherein said floor nozzle is fluidically connected to said dust collector arrangement via said suction tube and said suction hose, and
 a motorized fan unit for suctioning an air stream through said floor nozzle, wherein said motorized fan unit is arranged between said floor nozzle and said suction tube such that an air stream suctioned in through said floor nozzle flows through said motorized fan unit and into said suction tube.   
     
     
         2 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said motorized fan unit is configured such that, with an aperture of  8 , the motorized fan unit has a volumetric flow of more than 30 l/s at an electrical input power of less than 900 W according to DIN EN 60312-1, with an aperture of  8 , the motorized fan unit has a volumetric flow of more than 25 l/s at an electrical input power of less than 600 W according to DIN EN 60312-1, and/or with an aperture of  8 , the motorized fan unit has a volumetric flow of more than 15 l/s at an electrical input power of less than 300 W according to DIN EN 60312-1. 
     
     
         3 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said floor nozzle comprises a base plate with a base surface which during operation of said floor vacuum cleaner faces a surface to be suctioned, where said base plate has at least one air flow channel parallel to said base surface and with an opening provided laterally in said base plate. 
     
     
         4 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said suction tube has a diameter in a range from 25 mm to 50 mm and/or a length in a range from 600 mm to 1200 mm. 
     
     
         5 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said suction hose has a diameter in a range from 25 mm to 50 mm and/or a length in a range from 1000 mm to 2500 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said floor nozzle is configured or said motorized fan unit is arranged such that no contact between a fan wheel and a test probe according to IEC/EN 60335 is possible through said floor nozzle. 
     
     
         7 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , comprising a blow-out filter. 
     
     
         8 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said floor vacuum cleaner is a bag vacuum cleaner. 
     
     
         9 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 8 , comprising a vacuum cleaner filter bag, where said vacuum cleaner filter bag is a flat bag or a disposable bag. 
     
     
         10 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 9 , wherein the bag wall of said vacuum cleaner filter bag comprises one or more layers of a nonwoven and/or one or more layers of nonwoven fabric. 
     
     
         11 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said floor vacuum cleaner is a bagless vacuum cleaner. 
     
     
         12 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 11 , wherein said dust collector unit comprises an impact separator or a centrifugal separator. 
     
     
         13 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said motorized fan unit is arranged on and/or above said floor nozzle. 
     
     
         14 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said motorized fan unit is fluidically connected to said floor nozzle via a tube member. 
     
     
         15 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said motorized fan unit comprises radial fan. 
     
     
         16 . The floor vacuum cleaner according  claim 1 , comprising a second motorized fan unit. 
     
     
         17 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein said floor nozzle comprises no rotating brush. 
     
     
         18 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 7 , wherein the blow out filter has a filter area of at least 800 cm 2 . 
     
     
         19 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 8 , wherein the bag vacuum cleaner has a filter area of at least 800 cm 2 . 
     
     
         20 . The floor vacuum cleaner according to  claim 11 , wherein the bagless vacuum cleaner comprises a blow-out filter having a filter area of at least 800 cm 2 .
