Abstract:
A washing-drying machine including a scraping device including a reversible fastening system of scraping blades. The reversible fastening system makes it possible to apply the scraping blades to the scraping device in a simple and safe way and as simply to remove them to clean them or replace them when worn out through a flexible fastening mechanism including holes for engaging with support elements provided on the scraping device, and including at least an elastic end portion with a slot for engaging with the undercut of a corresponding locking element, formed in the proximity of end portions of the support.
Abstract:
A method for operating a suction-type cleaner, in which, in a manner controlled in the filter dedusting position by an electromagnetically actuated switchover valve arrangement (19, 20, 21), at least one filter (9), through which the dirt-laden air flow passes, is dedusted in the opposite direction to said air flow, and the dirt-laden suction air from the dirt-collecting container (1) firstly passes through the at least one filter (9) which is adjoined, in the flow direction, by a suction chamber (12), which is adjoined downstream by an intermediate chamber (26) which is arranged on the suction side of the turbine (30), and a pressure chamber (34) is arranged downstream of the turbine (30), wherein, in order to reduce the actuating force of the switchover valve arrangement (19, 20, 21) in the dedusting position of the suction-type cleaner, the pressure between the pressure chamber (34) and the intermediate chamber (26) is equalised.
Abstract:
1. A vacuum cleaner (1) having a housing (2) that consists of a bottom part (5) with a dirt receptacle (12) and a top part (6), wherein at least one filter (16, 26) is arranged in the housing (2) and an intake airflow can flow through it, wherein the housing (2) has at least one hinged housing (7) in which the at least one filter (16, 26) is arranged.
Abstract:
A method and a system for controlling the charging and discharging of one or more battery packs (8) connected to a power source (7) or an apparatus (9) driven by the battery packs. The battery pack (8) comprises a number of battery cells connected to two or more terminals for establishing an electrical connection with the power source or the apparatus. The electronic system (2) for controlling the charging of the battery pack (8) and the electronic system (6) for controlling the operation of the apparatus (9) are integrated into the battery pack (8). The battery pack (8) comprises a communications interface for communicating with other battery packs (8) and generates a charging and discharging pool, where the most effective battery pack (8) to charge or discharge is charged and discharged first.
Abstract:
A system has a primary unit (1) and a number of secondary units (16), which may be stored in receiving slots in the primary cleaning unit (1) or be coupled to the primary unit. The primary and secondary units are configured as movable cleaning or grounds maintenance units capable of performing at least one cleaning or grounds maintenance operation. The primary unit (1) is powered by a power source (2), which also powers the secondary unit (16) or charges a power source (17) in the secondary unit (16). Each unit has a communications module (13, 25) capable of communicating with each other and/or a remote location. At least one of the units (1, 16) may include one or more proximity or near-field sensors and/or one or more sensor for sensing the performance of the unit (1, 16).

Abstract:
A dirt suction device comprises at least two filters (3, 4) which are arranged on/in a dirt suction device housing (I), are affected by an air stream from a fan (21), and include valves (26-34) for separately controlling the cleaning action of the filter, wherein during normal operation, the dirt-laden air stream passes through at least one filter from the untreated air side to the clean air side, and at least one of the valves is associated with each of the at least two filters, said valve switching over in the cleaning position such that the air stream in the filter is reversed and the dirt particles adhering to the untreated air side are removed, wherein the fan of the dirt suction device is arranged outside the dirt suction device housing.
Abstract:
Apparatus for floor cleaning, having a cavity that opens on the dashboard, a plurality of mechanically similar interchangeable keys, and suitable to be inserted completely into and operate with said cavity, two or more Hall-effect sensors arranged outside said cavity, at least one first key containing at least one magnet, and at least one second key including at least one respective second magnet, which are in functional correspondence with respective predefined sensors.Said magnets do not interfere with sensors to which they are not geometrically connected, and for this purpose they are aligned on a same straight line, and the insertion of said keys causes a movement of said magnets toward the respective sensors with a motion orthogonal to said straight line.
