Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner provided with a rotary cleaning body which rotates by an intake air flow, and a suction port body thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a suction port of this type of vacuum cleaner, for example, the configuration described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-28630 is known.

[0003] The suction opening of the vacuum cleaner described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-28630 has a rotatable cleaning body rotatably housed in a case body having an opening on the lower surface. In this rotary cleaning body, an axial air turbine is integrally provided coaxially at both ends in the axial direction, and the axial air turbine is rotated by the intake air from the intake ports opened at the rear ends of the case body. At the same time, the rotary cleaning body rotates to scrape dust on the floor surface and suck the dust from the suction port.

[0004]

However, in the suction port of the conventional vacuum cleaner described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-28630, since the rotary cleaning member is rotated by the rotation of the axial air turbine, the suction is reduced. The weight and size of the mouth cannot be reduced, and dust on the lower surface corresponding to the axial air turbine cannot be scraped off.

[0005] Therefore, the rotary cleaning body is extended to a position facing the intake port instead of the axial air turbine, and the rotary cleaning body is rotated by directly blowing the intake air flow from the intake port to the rotary cleaning body. A configuration that eliminates the need for a flowing air turbine and reduces the area that cannot be cleaned by the rotary cleaning body is conceivable.

However, simply blowing the intake air stream directly onto the rotary cleaning body may not increase the torque of the rotary cleaning body and may not be able to efficiently remove dust. Also,
If the opening area of the air inlet is increased to increase the air flow from the air inlet to increase the torque, the air flow from the air inlet is relatively reduced, and the dust suction efficiency may be reduced. There is.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a vacuum cleaner in which the torque of the rotary cleaning body increases without reducing the dust suction efficiency, and a suction port body thereof. .

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vacuum cleaner including a case body having a suction port opened on a lower surface facing a surface to be cleaned and an air suction port, and a case body having a suction port. A rotary cleaning member that is rotatably provided facing the suction port, has a cleaning member that scrapes dust from the surface to be cleaned, and has a rotation that is blown by the suction flow from the suction port to the cleaning member and rotates. In the rotary cleaning body, the distance from the outer peripheral end of the rotation radius to the edge of the suction port on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body is wider than the distance from the edge of the suction port on the rear side in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body. It was established.

Then, the distance from the outer peripheral end of the rotation radius of the rotary cleaning body to the edge of the suction port on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body is larger than the distance from the edge of the suction port on the rear side in the rotation direction. Since the rotary cleaning body that rotates due to the airflow from the air intake port is rotatably arranged, much of the air sucked in with dust from the air suction port is sucked in from the edge of the air suction port in the wide gap on the front side in the rotation direction, and Contribute to rotation,
Turbulence due to the flow in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body is suppressed. For example, by increasing the opening area of the suction port to increase the torque of the rotary cleaning body, the efficiency of sucking dust from the suction port is reduced. Without this, the torque of the rotary cleaning body is increased, the cleaning efficiency is improved, and the generation of noise due to turbulence is prevented.

[0010] The suction opening of the vacuum cleaner according to claim 2 is

[0011] A cleaning member for scraping dust from the surface to be cleaned is provided in a spiral shape, and a case body provided with a rotating cleaning member which rotates by blowing an air flow from an air inlet to the cleaning member is provided in an axial direction of the rotating cleaning member. A communication portion communicating with the suction port is provided on one side of the side of the cleaning member on which the surface to which the air flow of the cleaning member is blown is provided, so that dust on the surface to be cleaned located on one side of the case body can also be sucked. At the same time, the air sucked in along with the dust from the communication portion is in a state of being blown to the surface of the rotary cleaning member to which the suction flow is blown from the suction port of the spiral cleaning member, and the rotation of the rotary cleaning member by the suction flow is assisted. For example, by increasing the opening area of the suction port in order to increase the torque of the rotary cleaning body, it is possible to reduce the efficiency of dust suction from the suction port without reducing the rotation cleaning. Body torque is increased, the cleaning efficiency is improved.

The suction body of the vacuum cleaner according to claim 3 is

A cleaning member is provided in a spiral shape to scrape dust from the surface to be cleaned in a concave shape on the opposite side to the rotation direction, and the rotating cleaning member is rotated by blowing an intake air flow from an intake port to the concave side of the cleaning member. Since the communicating portion communicating with the suction port is provided on both axial side surfaces of the rotary cleaning body of the case body having the, the air sucked from the communicating portion facing the concave side surface of the cleaning member against which the intake air flow is blown is removed. Similarly to the intake air flow, the cleaning member is sprayed on the concave surface and acts as a force in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body, thereby assisting the rotation of the rotary cleaning body by the intake air flow. In addition, the air sucked in from the communication part on the opposite side is blown to the convex surface on the opposite side to the concave side of the cleaning member facing this communication part, and escapes along the convex surface, so that the rotating cleaning body rotates. It does not act as a force to rotate in the opposite direction. For this reason, for example, by increasing the opening area of the suction port to increase the torque of the rotary cleaning body, the torque of the rotary cleaning body increases without reducing the efficiency of sucking dust from the suction port, and the case body Dust can be sucked in from both sides of the, improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0014] The suction opening of the vacuum cleaner according to claim 4 is:
4. The suction port of the vacuum cleaner according to claim 2, wherein the communication portion has a concave groove shape facing downward. 5.

The cleaning body 66 has a flat surface formed by the driven front wheel 36 and the driven rear wheel 38, in which the pedestal portion 71 does not protrude downward from the lower surface of the case body 24, and the leading end of the raised brush 76 protrudes from the lower surface of the case body 24. The raised end 76 is positioned so as to be in contact with the plate that is a flat floor surface without rotating.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

At the time of cleaning, the suction main body 14 is connected to the cleaner main body 1 through the extension pipe 13 and the hose 8, and the hose 8
The suction port main body 14 is moved forward and backward on the floor surface by pushing and holding the grip portion 15.

Then, with the suction force generated by driving the electric blower of the cleaner body 1, the air is suctioned from the suction ports 60 and 60 and also suctioned from the suction port 28. Here, since the suction port body 14 is placed on the floor surface, the resistance of the air passage from the outside air to the suction chamber 29 from the suction ports 60, 60 passes through the lower surface of the case body 24 from outside. From suction port 28 to suction chamber 29
Smaller than the wind path resistance to the inside
There is a tendency for the amount of intake air from the air to increase.

Furthermore, when the floor surface is a carpet such as a carpet, which has a particularly long bristle feet, the bristle feet enter the suction chamber 29 from the suction port 28, so that the amount of intake air from the suction ports 60, 60 is further reduced. Increase.

The air sucked from the air inlets 60, 60 flows into the suction chamber 29 via the air intake passage 61 while being rectified by the rectifying plate 62, and comes into contact with the blade 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51. Then, the rotary cleaning body 51 is rotated to reach the connecting pipe portion 35.

Here, the intake air flow from the intake port 60 is rotated substantially perpendicularly to the axial direction of the rotary cleaning body 51 in the intake air path 61, that is, linearly along the running direction of the intake port body 14. After being sprayed on the cleaning body 51, it flows so as to gather toward the center of the case body 24 along the axial direction of the rotary cleaning body 51 and flows to the communication pipe 47, so that the intake air acts on the rotary cleaning body 51. As the distance increases and the rotational torque increases, the suction flow is
Since the amount of suction from 28 is not reduced, dust is efficiently sucked. The suction port 60 is formed on the opposite side of the communication pipe 47, that is, on the front side of the substantially vertical direction passing through the rotation axis of the rotary cleaning body 51, and further on the front side of the front end of the rotation radius of the rotary cleaning body 51. Therefore, since the intake air flow acts on the rotary cleaning body 51 for a long time, the rotational torque further increases.

Further, dust on the floor surface is sucked from the suction port 28 through the lower surface of the case body 24.

The air sucked together with the dust through the communication grooves 64, 64 becomes a suction flow along the axial direction of the rotary cleaning body 51. Further, the blade 55 is provided in a spiral shape, and its curved surface intersects the axial direction of the rotary cleaning body 51. For this reason, the suction flow from the communication groove 64, which is the right side in the traveling direction that is one side, that is, the side facing the curved surface of the blade 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51, The blade 55 is sprayed on the curved surface, and a force acts in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51. Also, the communication groove 64 on the left side in the traveling direction, which is the other side,
Is blown onto the curved surface of the rotating cleaning body 51 opposite to the curved side of the blade 55, is guided along the curved surface of the blade 55 and escapes, and is in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating cleaning body 51. Little force is added. Therefore, the suction flow from the communication groove 64 also contributes to the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 51.

When the rotary cleaning body 51 rotates, if the floor surface is a carpet or the like, the hitting portion 57 of the blade 55 collides with the floor surface to strike out the dust, and at the same time, to scrape or sweep out the dust, and suck the dust. Inhale through mouth 28.

Here, the air containing dust sucked into the suction chamber 29 is almost pushed out along the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51 because the rotary cleaning body 51 is rotating and the interval C is wide. Then, it flows through the connecting pipe portion 35 together with the intake air flow through the front side, and is hardly sucked from the interval D side in the reverse flow direction to the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51. The sucked dust flows through the extension pipe 13 and the hose 8 into the dust collection chamber of the cleaner body 1 and is captured.

When the suction port body 14 moves forward during cleaning, the cleaning body 66 in contact with the floor is rotated rearward as shown in FIG. It comes into contact with the floor surface, and the dust on the floor surface is wiped off at the contact portion.
Further, when the suction port main body 14 is retracted, the cleaning body 66 in contact with the floor surface is rotated forward as shown in FIG. 11, and the rear edge portion of the raised cloth 77 of the cleaning body 66 comes into contact with the floor surface. Wipe off any dust on the floor where it comes into contact. In addition, the raising of the raising cloth 77
Since 76 is substantially perpendicular to the arc-shaped lower surface of the attached pedestal portion 71, it is in a straight-line state inclined with respect to the floor surface in the rotated state. In other words, the front end of the brushed portion 76 extends forward when the rearward rotation is performed at the time of forward movement, and the front end portion of the brushed 76 extends forward when the front rotation is performed at the time of retreating. For this reason, by rubbing and sweeping the dust on the floor, the frictional resistance with the floor is reduced regardless of the running direction of the suction port main body 14, and the dust is wiped off with a light running feeling.

Further, the suction port main body 14 is moved from forward to backward.
When the traveling direction is switched, since the cleaning body 66 is in the forward turning state in the state of being rotated backward, the brushed 76 is in the reverse state in the retreating state, and the floor surface and the cleaning body 66 Frictional resistance increases. For this reason, the cleaning body 66 rotates forward as it travels rearward and returns to the normal state again. Similarly, when the traveling direction is switched from the time of retreat to the time of forward movement, the cleaning body 66 is similarly rotated backward to be in the normal state.

When the traveling direction is switched from the backward movement to the forward movement, the suction port main body 14 is located in a state approaching the worker, and the end of the communication pipe 47 is turned to the upright state. By pushing for forward movement in the state, the suction port body
14 is pressed against the floor. For this reason, in the case where the suction port main body 14 is lifted by the pulling and the state where the suction port body 14 is lifted and the state where the suction port body 14 is moved backward is changed, the direction of the case where the suction port body 14 is switched from the time of retreat to the time of forward movement becomes stronger when the floor surface and the cleaning body 66 are crimped. As a result, the frictional resistance increases. By the way, the cleaning body
For 66, since the turning angle is larger when turning backward when moving forward,
When the cleaning body 66 is rotated until the rotation is restricted, it is switched from the backward movement to the forward movement and the forward movement distance is increased.

Therefore, as the cleaning body 66 rotates in the same manner as the driving assistance by the rotation of the driven front wheel 36 and the driven rear wheel 38, the suction port main body 14 is kept in contact with the floor surface until the cleaning body 66 is restricted. The cleaning body 66 that rotates without any frictional members assists the running of the suction port body 14, and provides a light running feeling even when switching from retreating to moving forward when pressed against the floor surface, improving running performance. Cleaning work becomes easier.

On the other hand, when the lower surface of the suction port main body 14 is separated from the floor surface due to movement of furniture and the like, and movement of a cleaning place, the opening area becomes large, and an air passage to the suction chamber 29 is formed. The airflow resistance from the suction port 28 that is not
Since it becomes smaller than the wind path resistance taken from 60, the suction port
As the volume of air suctioned from 28 increases,
The air volume taken from 60,60 decreases. For this reason, the intake air blown to the rotary cleaning body 51 is weakened, and the rotary cleaning body 51 is rotated.
The rotation speed of 51 is greatly reduced.

After the cleaning is completed, the rotary cleaning member 51 is used to remove lint and hair entangled with the rotary cleaning member 51.
When removing 51, the slider 42 is slid and moved to remove the case cover 31, and is attached and detached from the upper surface of the case body 24 that is opened. In addition, when mounting, it mounts by operation opposite to removal operation.

When dust adheres to the cleaning body 66 and becomes dirty, the intermediate portion of the pedestal 71 is elastically deformed so that the claw 69,
By passing through the space 69, the shaft portions 72, 72 are removed from the bearing portions 67, 67, respectively, so that the shaft portions 72, 72 are removed from the storage recess 65 and washed. In addition, when mounting, it mounts by operation opposite to removal operation.

As described above, the suction opening 28 on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51 from the outer peripheral end of the rotation radius of the rotary cleaning body 51.
The rotating cleaning body 51 is rotatably disposed so that the distance to the edge of the suction port 28 is wider than the distance to the edge of the suction port 28 on the rear side in the rotation direction. Is sucked from the wide gap C side, flows with the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 51, and is hardly sucked from the narrow gap D side on the rear side in the reverse direction in the rotation direction.
No turbulence occurs due to no flow in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51.For example, by increasing the opening area of the intake port 60, the rotary cleaning without reducing the efficiency of sucking dust from the suction port 28 is performed. The cleaning efficiency can be improved by increasing the torque of the body 51, and noise can be prevented from being generated due to the turbulence caused by the backflow.

Further, suction openings are provided on both sides of a case body 24 in which a rotary cleaning member 51 provided with a blade 55 curved in a concave shape on the side to which the airflow from the air inlet 60 is blown is provided rotatably. Since the communication grooves 64 communicating with 28 are provided, the air sucked from the communication grooves 64 facing the concave surface on the curved side is blown against the concave surface on the curved side of the blade 55 in the same manner as the intake flow. Acts as a force in the direction of rotation of the rotary cleaning body 51, assists the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 51 due to the intake air flow, and the air sucked in from the opposite communication groove 64 is bent by the blade 55 facing the communication groove 64. It is sprayed on the convex curved surface on the side opposite to the cleaning surface and escapes along the convex curved surface, and does not act as a force for rotating the rotary cleaning body 51 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. For this reason, for example, by increasing the opening area of the suction port 60, the torque of the rotary cleaning body 51 can be increased without reducing the efficiency of sucking dust from the suction port 60, and the dust is sucked from both side surfaces of the case body 24. And cleaning efficiency can be improved.

On the other hand, an intake port 60, an intake port 28, and an intake port for supplying an intake air flow to the blade 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51 to rotate it.
The rotary cleaning body 51 is rotatably provided so that the rotation axis is not positioned on a straight line connecting the center of the opening cross section of the communication pipe 47 communicating with the communication pipe 47. The rotary cleaning body is in a state where it is blown to the outer peripheral side shifted from the rotation axis of the body 51, and the suction air flow is efficiently blown.
51 torque can be increased and cleaning efficiency can be improved.

Further, since the communication pipe 47 and the suction port 60 are respectively provided on the same plane side with respect to the plane A along the horizontal direction including the rotation axis of the rotary cleaning body 51, the suction from the suction port 60 is provided. The entire amount of the flow is located on the outer peripheral side of the rotary cleaning body 51.
Is efficiently blown without flowing in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the rotary cleaning member 51, and the torque of the rotary cleaning body 51 can be efficiently increased.

Further, the communication pipe 47 and the intake port 60
Are provided above the respective planes A along the horizontal direction including the rotation axis of the rotary cleaning body 51, so that a load is applied in which the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51 is pressed against the floor surface. The suction port body 14 rotates in the reverse direction with respect to the traveling direction at the time of forward movement, and the rotating cleaning body 51 can efficiently hit the floor surface by the load pressed against the floor surface, thereby improving the dust removal efficiency.

Further, an intake port 60 for supplying an intake air flow to the blade 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51 for rotation is provided at a position not facing the communication pipe 47, and a portion facing the communication pipe 47 is closed. After being sprayed linearly on the rotary cleaning body 51 along the traveling direction of the suction port main body 14, the communication pipe flows so as to gather toward the center of the case body 24 along the axial direction of the rotary cleaning body 51. 47, the air is not directly sucked into the communication pipe 47 in a straight line, so that the suction air acts on the rotary cleaning body 51 for a longer distance, thereby increasing the rotational torque. Since the amount of suction from the suction port 28 is not reduced to receive the dust, dust can be sucked efficiently, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved. Further, since the air volume balance can be secured without reducing the suction amount from the suction port 28, for example, the opening area of the suction port
There is no need for a configuration that regulates the inflow speed from the intake port 60, such as suppressing the amount of intake air from the airflow and securing the air volume balance. By regulating the inflow speed, turbulence occurs, and this turbulence generates noise. Can be prevented.

Further, a separate member such as an electric motor or an air turbine for driving the rotary cleaning body 51 to rotate is unnecessary, so that the size and weight can be reduced, and the area where the lower surface of the suction port main body 14 cannot be cleaned can be reduced, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. it can.

The suction port 60 has an opening formed on the side opposite to the communication pipe 47, that is, on the front side of the substantially vertical direction passing through the rotation axis of the rotary cleaning body 51, and further on the front side of the front end of the rotation radius of the rotary cleaning body 51. Therefore, the intake air flow can act on the rotary cleaning body 51 for a long time, and the rotational torque can be further increased.

Furthermore, since the pair of openings are formed with the intake port 60 being symmetrical with respect to the center of the case body 24, the appearance can be improved, and the suction flow can be supplied to the rotary cleaning body 51 substantially uniformly over substantially the entire area in the longitudinal direction. The body 51 can be stably and efficiently rotated, and the dust scraping property can be improved.

Further, a rectifying plate 62 is provided at an intake port 60 for supplying and rotating an intake air flow to a blade 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51, and an intake air path 61 is formed so as to blow the outermost circumference of the rotary cleaning body 51. The intake air flow is efficiently blown to the rotary cleaning body 51, so that the torque of the rotary cleaning body 51 can be improved, and the cleaning performance can be improved.

Further, since the intake air passage 61 formed by the rectifying plate 62 is formed in a trumpet shape having a small opening area on the downstream side, the intake air flow can be narrowed down without generating noise due to turbulence, and the intake air flow can be reduced. As the wind speed increases, the force of blowing to the rotary cleaning body 51 can be increased, and the torque of the rotary cleaning body 51 can be increased to improve the cleaning performance.

Since the rectifying plate 62 is provided inside from the air inlet 60, the rectifying plate 62 does not protrude to the outside of the case body 24, so that the external appearance can be improved. In addition, the rectifying plate 62 collides with furniture or the like during cleaning. For example, it is possible to prevent the cleaning work from being hindered, and it is possible to prevent generation of noise due to turbulence generated by providing the protruding portion.

On the other hand, the cleaning body 66 having a raised cloth 77 attached to the lower surface of the pedestal portion 71 is pivoted at a predetermined angle so that the axial direction is along a direction intersecting the running direction of the suction port body 14. Since the cleaning body 66 rotates in the same manner as the driven front wheel 36 and the driven rear wheel 38 at the time of reversing, which is the switching of the running direction of the suction port main body 14 back and forth, the running is assisted and the running performance can be improved. , Cleaning work becomes easy.

Further, since the cleaning body 66 is rotated to make different portions in contact with the floor surface, that is, since the dust is wiped off at the portion of the brushing cloth 77 in the running direction, the brushing cloth 77 may be locally damaged. Can be prevented, and the life of the cleaning body 66 can be improved.

Furthermore, since the rotation of the cleaning body 66 is restricted to a predetermined angle, the structure of the suction body 14 is simpler than that of the conventional cleaning body which rotates in the form of a roller. Dust can be reliably wiped off from the floor during traveling to improve the cleaning efficiency, and the cleaning body 66 has a semicircular cross-section and can be reduced in size, and the storage recess 65 as an installation space can also be reduced in size.

Then, the cleaning body 66 is deflected to the lower surface of the pedestal portion 71 formed in an arc shape having a curvature larger than the curvature about the rotation axis, that is, the position where the rotation axis approaches the lower surface. The raised cloth 77 is provided on the lower surface of the pedestal portion 71 formed so that the raised brush 76 extends substantially perpendicularly to the lower surface, so that the suction port main body 14 travels on the floor surface and the pedestal portion 71 rotates. At this time, the raised brushes 76 are inclined with respect to the floor surface in a sequential state in which the tips extend in the opposite direction to the running direction, so that the raised brushes 76 are stroked on the floor surface and the floor while the suction port body 14 is running. The frictional resistance between the surface and the cleaning body 66 is reduced, and the traveling performance can be improved. Further, since there is no directionality of the cleaning body 66, a structure for preventing erroneous attachment to the case body 24 is unnecessary, and the structure can be simplified.

Further, the cleaning body 66 is inserted into the housing recess of the case body 24.
Since the raised cloth 77 is rotatably housed in the 65 so that only the raised cloth 77 protrudes from the lower surface of the case body 24, damage to the floor surface and the cleaning body 66 due to contact between the floor surface and the pedestal portion 71 can be prevented.

Further, a pedestal portion 71 formed longitudinally in the axial direction.
The upper surface of the cleaning member 66 is provided with a projection 73 whose tip is in contact with the ceiling surface of the storage recess 65 which is the lower surface of the case body 24 at substantially the same curvature as the curvature about the rotation axis of the base 71. Even when a force that is pushed up from the floor surface due to contact with the floor surface is applied, the cleaning body 66 rotates at the position supported by the case body 24 and the projection 73 that contacts the lower surface of the case body 24 with a small area. Since the deformation of the cleaning body 66 can be prevented without impairing the movement, the dust can be wiped off in the entire area of the cleaning body 66 in the axial direction, and the cleaning body 66 can be cleaned.
The damage such as breakage of 66 can be prevented.

Claws 69, 69 are provided on the lower surface of the case body 24, projecting toward the cleaning body 66 below the cleaning body 66, and restricting the rotation of the cleaning body 66 within a predetermined angle range. With the provision, the rotation can be restricted and the cleaning body 66 provided on the lower surface of the case body 24 can be prevented from falling off with a simple structure.

Further, since the claws 69, 69 are provided in a staggered manner and the pedestal 71 is formed of a material which can be elastically deformed, the cleaning body 66 is formed.
Can be easily attached and detached.

Further, since the end mounting concave portion 74 and the edge mounting concave portion 75 for burying the peripheral edge of the brushed cloth 77 are provided in the pedestal portion 71, contact and friction between the brushed cloth 77 and the floor surface cause the brushed cloth 77 to be removed from the peripheral edge. It is possible to prevent the cleaning body 66 from being peeled and damaged.

Then, the elongated cleaning body 66 is inserted into the suction port main body 14.
Because it is arranged in almost the entire area along the left and right direction of the
The airtightness of the lower surface of the battery is improved, the negative pressure is increased, and the dust suction efficiency can be improved.

Further, since the cleaning body 66 is detachable, even if the cleaning body 66 becomes dirty due to the adhesion of dust, only the cleaning body 66 needs to be cleaned.
Maintainability can be improved.

In the above embodiment, not only the canister type vacuum cleaner, but also an upright type in which the suction port body 14 is formed directly on the lower surface of the vacuum cleaner body 1, and the like, and the vacuum cleaner body 1 and the suction port The present invention can also be applied to a self-propelled vacuum cleaner or the like in which the main body 14 is integrated.

In the above, one rotary cleaning body 51 is provided which is rotated by being directly blown by the intake air flow. However, a plurality of rotary cleaning bodies 51 may be provided. Further, as the rotary cleaning body 51, in addition to the blade 55, a rotary brush provided with a raised brush in a wall shape, a cleaning blade provided with a cloth blade portion, a brush or a cloth blade, and any cleaning member combining the blade 55 is provided. May be used.

Although the intake air flow blown by the blades 55 of the rotary cleaning body 51 is curved concavely on the side where the intake air flow is blown so as to efficiently contribute to rotation, it may not be curved. In the case of this configuration, the case body 24 facing the surface of the blade 55 on the side to which the intake air flow is blown.
It is necessary to provide a communication groove portion 64 on one side surface of the communication device. That is,
Case body 24 facing the side opposite to the side to which the intake air is blown
This is because, when the communication groove 64 is provided on the other side surface, the air sucked from the communication groove 64 acts as a force in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body 51, so that an increase in torque cannot be expected.

On the other hand, although one cleaning element 66 is provided behind the suction port 28, the cleaning element 66 may be provided in front of the suction port 28 or a plurality of cleaning elements 66 may be provided.

Further, as the cleaning body 66, in addition to the brushed cloth 77, the same effect can be obtained even if a brush bristle is implanted directly on the pedestal 71 and has a dust scraping action such as dust scraping or sweeping. Having.

Although the raised cloth 77 has been described so that the raised 76 is substantially perpendicular to the lower surface of the pedestal 71, the raised cloth 77 is provided, for example, in such a manner that the tip extends rearward with respect to the forward direction. Is also good. That is, when the suction port body 14 is pushed forward against the floor, the raised brushes 76 become more sluggish when moving forward, and the running performance is further improved, and at the time of retreating, the dust scraping action is obtained. In the case where the brush bristles or raised portions 76 are provided at an angle, it is preferable to provide a configuration for preventing the erroneous attachment to the case body 24 by, for example, changing the diameter of the shaft portions at both ends.

The cleaning body 66 may be directly rotatably provided on the lower surface of the case body 24 without being provided in the storage recess 65.

On the other hand, the intake port 60 has been described as being symmetrical. However, for example, in the case of using a rotary cleaning body in which the blade 55 is provided in a linear shape that is not spiral, the intake port that opens left and right is used.
The positions of 60, 60 may be displaced in the vertical direction.

In the above description, two intake ports 60 are opened at the front side in the traveling direction. However, one or more intake ports 60 may be provided.

Further, the rectifying plate 62 provided in the intake port 60 is provided inside the case cover 31 of the case body 24 so that the opening area on the downstream side of the intake air passage becomes gradually smaller. May be formed so as to protrude outside in a cylindrical shape to form an intake air passage.

In the above description, the communication pipe 47 is supported by the connecting pipe 35 via the joint 48. However, the communication pipe 47 is rotatably supported directly, and the communication pipe 47 is fixedly provided. The same effect can be obtained even with the above-mentioned one.

According to the suction port body of the vacuum cleaner according to the first aspect, the distance from the outer circumferential end of the rotation radius of the rotary cleaning body to the edge of the suction port on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning body is in the rotation direction. Since the rotary cleaning body is provided so as to be wider than the distance to the edge of the rear suction port, air sucked in with dust from the suction port is sucked from the edge side of the suction port in the wide gap on the front side in the rotation direction and the rotation cleaning body is Since it is not sucked from the edge of the suction port in the narrow gap at the rear side in the direction of rotation that flows with rotation and reverses, no turbulent flow occurs in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotating cleaning body, for example, rotation cleaning By increasing the opening area of the intake port to increase the body torque, the torque of the rotary cleaning body can be increased without reducing the efficiency of sucking dust from the intake port, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved, and the turbulence is increased.

Because it is sprayed onto the convex curved surface opposite to the concavely curved side of the cleaning member facing the surface and escapes along the convex curved surface, and does not act as a force to rotate the rotary cleaning body in the opposite direction to the rotation direction. For example, rotary cleaning By increasing the opening area of the intake port to increase the torque of the rotating body, the torque of the rotary cleaning body can be increased without reducing the efficiency of sucking dust from the suction port, and the dust is sucked from both sides of the case body. And cleaning efficiency can be improved.

According to the suction port of the vacuum cleaner according to the fourth aspect, in addition to the effect of the suction port of the vacuum cleaner according to the second or third aspect, the communicating portion is formed in a concave groove shape facing downward.
