Vacuuming device having a collecting tank, in which different regions can be separated off, and method for exchanging a disposal bag in a vacuuming device

Abstract

A vacuuming device having a separating device for separating dirt particles from an air flow drawn in by the vacuuming device is provided, wherein the separating device includes at least one first separator and one second separator, and, in a base collecting tank of the vacuuming device, different regions of the base collecting tank can be separated from one another by a partition. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for exchanging a disposal bag in a vacuuming device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . A vacuuming device comprising:
 a separating device for separating dirt particles from an air flow drawn in by the vacuuming device, wherein the separating device includes a first separator and a second separator, and   a base collecting tank, a disposal bag being placeable in the base collecting tank, the base collecting tank having different regions separated from one another by a partition, the different regions of the base collecting tank each being assigned to one of the first and second separators, the partition including a flexible seal designed to seal the different regions of the base collecting tank in a dust-free manner with respect to one another.   
     
     
         8 . The vacuuming device as recited in  claim 7  wherein the separators are connected in series. 
     
     
         9 . The vacuuming device as recited in  claim 7  further comprising a suction head with a vacuum cleaner hose connection for through flow of the air flow, wherein the first separator being designed to be flowed through by the air flow. 
     
     
         10 . The vacuuming device as recited in  claim 7  wherein the flexible seal includes sealing lips or a sealing ring. 
     
     
         11 . The vacuuming device as recited in  claim 7  wherein the partition is present in integrated form on a suction head. 
     
     
         12 . A method for exchanging a disposal bag in a vacuuming device, the method comprising the following method steps:
 a) providing a vacuuming device having a separating device for separating dirt particles from an air flow drawn in by the vacuuming device, the separating device including a first separator and a second separator, and the vacuuming device including a base collecting tank, a disposal bag being placeable in the base collecting tank during the operation of the vacuuming device, regions for receiving different partial quantities of dirt particles being separated from one another by a partition in the base collecting tank, the partition including a flexible seal;   b) opening the vacuuming device by raising the suction head of the vacuuming device into an open position, wherein the partition is removable from the base collecting tank by opening the vacuuming device, with the result that the disposal bag becomes accessible in the base collecting tank;   c) removing the disposal bag from the base collecting tank;   d) placing a new disposal bag in the base collecting tank; and   e) closing the vacuuming device by lowering the suction head into a closed position.
