Abstract
Known suction devices for liquids are provided with a motor-driven suction fan, that introduces an air/liquid flow via a suction nozzle into a liquid receptacle in which the liquid is separated and collected. In order to avoid introduction of liquid into the motor-driven suction fan a device for monitoring the level of liquid in the receptacle is provided which, when a maximum filling level is reached, activates an emptying display. In order to achieve an exact determination of the filling level of the receptacle; it is suggested to provide the monitoring device in the form of a light barrier.
