Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3622869A1] An arrangement (1) for a vacuum cleaner (19) comprising a broomstick (20), the arrangement (1) comprising a friction detection unit (2) adapted to sense at least one of a friction force (3) between the broomstick (20) and a cleaning surface (21) to be cleaned using broomstick (20), or a pressure value (4) to detect pressure applied due to at least one contact between the cleaning surface (21) and the broomstick (20), or due to a movement of the broomstick (20) onto the cleaning surface (21), or a combination thereof, or a heat value (5) representative of heat generated while the broomstick (20) is in contact with the cleaning surface (21), or a temperature value (6) representative of temperature around an environment of the broomstick (20) and the cleaning surface (21) to be cleaned using broomstick (20), or a combination thereof. The arrangement (1) further comprising a primary processing unit (7) adapted to receive and process the friction force (3) or the heat value (5), or the temperature value (6), or the pressure value (4), or a combination thereof, and to identify a friction level (8) of the cleaning surface (21).
