Description

  The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly to a vacuum cleaner capable of reliably cleaning a floor surface near a wall.

  Conventionally, the rotating brush that rotates around the horizontal axis accommodated in the suction base scrapes the dust on the floor forward, mixes the dust that has been lifted into the suction air flow, and sucks it into the dust collector. There is a vacuum cleaner configured to collect dust and exhaust only the suction air flow to the outside (for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-210234 (FIG. 1)

  However, in the vacuum cleaner of Patent Document 1, since the rotary brush is accommodated in the suction base having a large width direction dimension, when cleaning the floor surface near the wall, one end in the width direction of the suction base comes into contact with the wall surface. The contact of the rotating brush with the floor surface is hindered. For this reason, the floor near the wall cannot be cleaned by the rotating brush.

  Therefore, it is also conceivable to provide a rotating brush that rotates around the vertical axis at a position that protrudes in the vicinity of the front of the inlet base, and to clean the wall floor by this rotating brush. However, although this method is effective for cleaning the dust on the floor near the wall, the dust on the floor far from the wall is swept away from the inlet base by the rotating brush rotating around the vertical axis. Will be.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electric vacuum cleaner that can reliably clean the floor surface near the wall while not sweeping away dust on the floor surface far from the wall.

  In order to achieve the above object, a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention includes a vacuum cleaner main body capable of traveling on a floor surface, and a mouthpiece base that sucks up dust and collects it on an air flow of inhaled air, The mouthpiece base travels on the floor surface together with the cleaner body, and both ends in the width direction perpendicular to the running direction protrude from both ends in the width direction of the cleaner body. A rotating brush that rotates around a substantially horizontal axis and contacts the floor surface to scrape dust on the floor surface forward; a driving mechanism that rotates the rotating brush around the axis; and the rotating brush And a fluid passage that guides the dust scraped forward from the floor surface to the dust suction port by placing it on an air flow, and the suction base includes at least one end in the width direction of the suction base. Protrudes outward in the width direction from Together, the wall brush that rotates around the axis is provided by the drive mechanism.

According to the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention, when the suction base moves along with the vacuum cleaner body on the floor surface, the rotary brush is moved around the horizontal axis (around the brush axis) by the drive mechanism provided on the suction base. Rotates and sweeps the floor dust forward. The dust scooped up from the floor is mixed with the air flow sucked into the suction port in the fluid passage. The mixed fluid of the dust and the air flow is guided by the fluid passage to the dust suction port (flows down), sucked into the dust suction port, and sucked out of the suction base.
On the other hand, the brush at the wall rotates around the axis while projecting outward from at least one end of the suction base in the width direction, so that the suction base is in contact with the wall surface or in a state of avoiding contact. The dust on the floor and the dust on the lower end of the wall can be cleaned.

In an aspect of the present invention, the wall-side brush has a shaft portion provided along the axis, and the outer periphery of the shaft portion extends 1 outward in the radial direction of the shaft portion. Or a plurality of brush portions and a hairless portion adjacent to the brush portion in the circumferential direction of the shaft portion, the brush portion being in a state of contacting the floor surface in the axial direction of the shaft portion. As it approaches the outer end portion from the end portion, it is provided obliquely so as to be arranged from the delayed position in the rotational direction of the shaft portion to the advanced position.
According to this aspect, since the brush portion of the brush at the wall is arranged so as to collect dust toward the front inner side of the suction base, even when cleaning the floor surface other than the wall, it is at a position away from the suction base. No dust will be scattered.

In this case, for example, the brush portion of the wall-side brush includes an array of floor surface cleaning brush portions that extend radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the wall-side brush shaft, and an axial direction from the axially outer end surface of the wall-side brush shaft. A row-like wall surface cleaning brush portion provided extending outward, and the row-like floor surface cleaning brush portion advances in the rotational direction of the wall-side brush shaft from the row-like wall surface cleaning brush portion toward the opposite side. It is provided on an inclined line that is displaced from the position to the delay position.
According to this, due to the rotation of the brush at the wall, the dust on the floor near the wall is gathered inward from the floor near the wall by an inward inclination angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the inclined line by the row-like floor cleaning brush portion. . Also, the dust at the lower end of the wall surface is swept away by the line-shaped wall surface cleaning brush part and dropped onto the floor surface near the wall, mixed with the dust on the wall surface and separated from the wall side by the line-like floor surface cleaning brush part. Gathered on the floor side. Furthermore, even when the wall brush is away from the wall, it can be gathered toward the rotating brush without sweeping away dust on the floor surface away from the wall.

In the present invention, the dust suction port and the introduction portion for introducing air are provided at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the suction mouth base, and the air introduced from the introduction portion is supplied to the suction mouth base. After guiding to both ends, a duct for guiding to the fluid passage is provided, and the direction of the air flowing through the duct is changed so that it makes a U-turn at the both ends, and then the width of the suction base from both ends of the fluid passage. You may make it flow toward the said dust suction opening provided in the approximate center part of the direction.
In this way, even if the length of the suction base in the width direction is large, the dust scraped up by the wall brush can be efficiently sucked.

In this case, for example, on the suction port base, a blowing unit that applies a pushing force to the suction port on the mixed fluid of the dust and the air flow flowing down the fluid passage, and the discharge air of the blowing unit A duct leading to the fluid passage is provided.
According to this, the discharge air of the air blowing means is guided to the fluid passage by the duct, and the mixed fluid flowing down the fluid passage is made to act as a pushing force to the suction port, so that the mixed fluid is reliably supplied to the suction port. Can be inhaled.

Further, in the present invention, the dust lifted up from the floor surface by the wall-side brush is allowed to rise to the front side of the wall-side brush in the suction base, and the lifted dust is allowed to be guided to the fluid passage. An allowable recess may be formed on the lower surface of the suction base.
In this way, the dust scraped up by the brush by the wall is guided to the fluid passage through the allowable recess, so that the floor surface at the wall can be reliably cleaned.

  On the other hand, a guide channel may be provided on the front side of the wall brush so as to allow the dust lifted from the floor surface by the wall brush to be lifted and guide the lifted dust to the fluid passage. According to this, the dust on the floor surface of the wall scraped up by the brush at the wall is guided from the guide channel to the fluid passage, mixed with the mixed fluid flowing down the fluid passage, and allowed to flow down toward the suction port. Can do. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the problem that the dust on the floor near the wall collides with another member immediately after being scraped from the floor with the brush at the wall and falls again on the floor near the wall.

  According to the present invention, the wall-side floor is provided in a state in which the suction base is prevented from coming into contact with the wall surface by the wall-side brush that rotates around a substantially horizontal axis while protruding outward from at least one end in the width direction of the suction base. Dust on the surface can be reliably cleaned.

The operation of the above configuration will be described.
The cleaner body 1 and the suction base 2 shown in FIG. 1 travel on the floor surface 3 in the arrow Y direction. At this time, the air suction means (not shown) mounted on the cleaner body 1 and the air blowing means 10 and the drive mechanism 19 provided on the suction base 2 shown in FIG. 2 are activated. By the activation of the air suction means, the front side of the brush housing chamber 7 of the suction base 2 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and the air in the brush storage chamber 7 are sucked into the suction port 11 of the suction base 2 shown in FIG. The air is sucked by an air suction means (not shown) through the route 12 → the dust collecting section 4.

  When the drive mechanism 19 is activated, the rotating brush 13 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 rotates in the direction of arrow R around the brush shaft 13a, and the dust on the floor 3 is scraped forward. The dust scraped up from the floor 3 is mixed with the air flow sucked into the suction port 11 along the mixed fluid passage 8 and sucked into the suction port 11, and collected through the suction hose 12 shown in FIG. Part 4 is reached. Here, dust is collected by a filter (not shown), and only the suction air flow is sucked by an air suction means (not shown) and exhausted outside the apparatus.

  Simultaneously with the rotating brush 13, a pair of left and right wall brushes 24 rotate in the direction of arrow R around the wall brush axis 24 a. These wall-side brushes 24 have a horizontal axis C1 from both ends 2L and 2R in the width direction of the suction base 2 and rotate outside the bumper 5 so that the bumper 5 is in contact with a wall surface (not shown). Alternatively, it is possible to clean the dust on the wall floor 3a and the dust on the lower end of the wall surface in a state avoiding contact.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pair of upper and lower rows of floor cleaning brush portions 24b2 in the brush portions 24B of the wall brushes 24L and 24R extend from the axial outer end surfaces 24b of the wall brush brushes 24L and 24R to the opposite side. 2 is provided on the inclined line C2 that is displaced from the advance position in the rotational direction R of the wall-side brush shaft 24A to the delay position, the dust on the wall-side floor surface 3a shown in FIG. The floor surface cleaning brush portion 24b2 gathers the wall surface 3a shown in FIG. 2 toward the floor surface 3 at an inward inclination angle θ (see FIG. 4) corresponding to the inclination angle θ of the inclination line C2 (see FIG. 4). (See arrow F in FIG. 4). Further, dust at the lower end of the wall surface (not shown) is swept off by the wall-shaped wall cleaning brush portion 24b1 and falls to the wall-side floor surface 3a. The brush portion 24b2 gathers the wall surface from the floor surface 3a toward the floor surface 3 side. In this way, the dust collected on the floor 3 side away from the wall is scraped forward by the rotating brush 13 and then mixed with the air flow sucked into the suction port 11 through the mixed fluid passage 8. Then, it is sucked into the suction port 11 and collected by the dust collecting unit 4. Further, even when the wall brush 24 is away from the wall, it can be gathered toward the rotating brush 13 without sweeping away dust on the floor 3 away from the wall.

  The suction base 2 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 has a blowing means 10 for applying a pushing force to the suction opening 11 to the mixed fluid of the dust flowing down the mixed fluid passage 8 and the air flow, and the blowing means 10. A duct 6 is provided for guiding the discharged air to the mixed fluid passage 8. That is, as shown by the arrow A in FIG. 3, the discharge air from the air blowing means 10 makes a U-turn through the U-shaped through-holes 9 a formed in the ridges 9 facing downward from both ends in the width direction of the duct 6. Then, it is guided to the mixed fluid passage 8. As a result, the mixed fluid can be surely sucked into the suction port 11 by applying wind pressure to the mixed fluid flowing down the mixed fluid passage 8 as a pushing force to the suction port 11. That is, the force of pushing the discharge wind pressure of the blowing means 10 against the mixed fluid flowing toward the suction port 11 at the width direction both ends 8L, 8R away from the suction port 11 in the mixed fluid passage 8 or in the vicinity thereof. The mixed fluid is reliably sucked into the suction port 11.

  As shown in FIG. 3, on the front side of the wall-side brush 24, a guide channel 26 that allows the dust lifted from the floor surface by the wall-side brush 24 and guides the lifted dust to the mixed fluid passage 8. Since it is provided, the dust on the floor surface 3a scraped up by the wall brush 24 is guided from the guide channel 26 to the mixed fluid passage 8 and mixed with the mixed fluid flowing down the mixed fluid passage 8. , Can flow down toward the suction port 11. For this reason, it is possible to avoid a problem that the dust on the wall-side floor surface 3a collides with another member immediately after being scraped from the floor surface 3a by the wall-side brush 24, and falls again on the wall-side floor surface 3a. The dust can be reliably cleaned.

  In the above-described embodiment, the wall brush 24 is attached to the left and right ends of the rotating brush 13 so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis C1 (arrow R), and outward from the widthwise ends of the bumper 5 surrounding the inlet base 2. Although it has been described with a projecting structure, a wall-side brush 24 is attached to either one of the left and right ends of the rotating brush 13 so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis C1 (arrow R), and surrounds the mouthpiece base 2. The bumper 5 may have a structure protruding outward from one end in the width direction.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the brush portion 24B of the wall brush 24 may not be provided by the wall surface cleaning brush portion 24b1 so that the two floor surface cleaning brush portions 24b2 are continuous. For example, part or all of the wall surface cleaning brush portion 24b1 may be eliminated, and the floor surface cleaning brush portion 24b2 may be provided in two parts.
Moreover, the floor surface cleaning brush part 24b2 may be one, and may provide three or more.
Further, in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the brush portion 24B is schematically illustrated in a plate shape, but the brush portion 24B may be provided in a thick bundle shape.
