An electric device in the shape of a machine tool or an energy storage module for the electric power supply of a machine tool. The electric device has a wireless communication interface for wireless communication with an external communication apparatus, which forms part of a vacuum cleaner provided to suction dust generated by the machine tool and with the wireless communication interface being designed to send at least one control command to control the vacuum cleaner as a function of a switching status of the switching element to the external communication apparatus via a wireless control connection.

Electrical device for actuating a vacuum cleaner

An electric device as a first or system component for a system which includes a first system component including at least one of a machine tool and a vacuum cleaner and, a second system component including an electric energy storage module to provide electric energy for the first system component. The system components have device interfaces compatible with one another for detachable fastening to one another and for the transmission of electric energy from the energy storage module to the machine tool or the vacuum cleaner. The electric device has a communication interface for a wireless control connection to or from a vacuum cleaner to actuate the vacuum cleaner. The device interfaces are electrically or mechanically separated from one another in a separation status and are electrically or mechanically connected to one another in an operating status.

Electrical appliance as system component for actuating a vacuum cleaner

An electric device in the shape of a machine tool or an energy storage module for the electric power supply of a machine tool, with the energy storage module having a module housing with a device interface for the detachable connection to the machine tool, with the machine tool having a drive motor to drive a tool holder on which a tool provided to process a workpiece is arranged or is arrangeable, with the drive motor being switchable using a switching element of the machine tool and/or the energy storage module, with the electric device having a wireless communication interface for wireless communication with an external communication apparatus, which forms part of a vacuum cleaner provided to suction dust generated by the machine tool and with the wireless communication interface being designed to send at least one control command to control, the vacuum cleaner as a function of a switching status of the switching element to the external communication apparatus via a wireless control connection.

A vacuum cleaner to suction dust generated by a machine tool, wherein the vacuum cleaner is actuatable by an electric device in the shape of the machine tool or an energy storage module for the electric power supply of the machine tool, which has a drive motor to drive a tool holder on which a tool provided to process a workpiece is arranged or is arrangeable, wherein the vacuum cleaner has a vacuum housing with a dirt collection chamber to receive dirt separated from a suction flow and a suction unit to generate the suction flow, wherein a suction inlet is present on the vacuum housing to connect a suction hose to establish a current connection for the suction flow with the machine tool, wherein the vacuum cleaner has an external communication apparatus for a wireless control connection to a wireless communication interface of the electric device and to receive at least one control command to control, the vacuum cleaner via the control connection.

Vacuum cleaner

A configuration apparatus for a system having an electric device in the shape of a machine tool or an energy storage module for the electric power supply of the machine tool and a vacuum cleaner to suction dust generated by the machine tool, with the vacuum cleaner being actuatable by the electric device via a wireless control connection, with the machine tool having a drive motor to drive a tool holder on which a tool provided to process a workpiece is arranged or is arrangeable, with the vacuum cleaner having a vacuum housing with a dirt collection chamber to receive dirt separated from a suction flow and a suction unit to generate the suction flow, with a suction inlet being present on the vacuum housing to connect a suction hose to establish a current connection for the suction flow with the machine tool, with the vacuum cleaner and the electric device having first communication interfaces according to a first communication standard to communicate via the wireless control connection.

Configuration apparatus for a system comprising a machine tool and a vacuum cleaner

An energy storage module for use with an electric device in the shape of an electric hand-held machine tool or a vacuum cleaner, with the energy storage module having a wireless communication interface for wireless communication with an external communication apparatus arranged remote from the energy storage module and a module housing in which an electric storage device with at least one electrically rechargeable storage cell is arranged and on which a device interface is provided for detachable connection of the energy storage module to the electric device, with the device interface having electric device supply contacts for the electric energy supply of the electric device. The device interface of the energy storage module has a data interface separate from the device supply contacts, for data communication with the electric device.
