Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0373353A1] In a device for regulating the operation of a suction cleaner and for indicating the dust bag filling level, a pipe blockage, air leaks and the like, it is proposed to arrange, in the outgoing airstream produced by a suction cleaner blower, behind the blower and behind the dust bag (13), an air turbine (19) whose rotational speed is determined in a contact-free manner and converted into an electrical display signal and supplied to a regulating circuit for controlling the blower motor (15). Depending upon the determined quantity of outgoing air, the respective operating state of the suction cleaner or the dust-bag filling level can thus furthermore be determined, changing signals displayed and also finely graduated percentage data and written information visually presented to the user. A combination with pressure values determined by diaphragm switches makes possible finally a reliable discrimination of the operating states to be displayed. <IMAGE>
