The specific embodiment

Below, with reference to the description of drawings embodiments of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is the cutaway view of the indoor unit of air conditioner of the present invention, has taken in the inside of indoor unit main body 50: heat exchanger 52; Fan 54, it is taken into room air by heat exchanger 52, and will be blown out to indoor by the air that heat exchanger 52 has carried out heat exchange; And the filter 56 that is configured in the upstream side of heat exchanger 52, action by means of fan 54, by from the front of main body 50 upward a plurality of suction inlets of forming of transition suck air, remove floating dust in the air by the filter 56 that is arranged between suction inlet and the heat exchanger 52.

Fig. 2 is the overall structure figure of the filter 56 of air conditioner of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the filter 56 that the dust of the air by heat exchanger 52 is removed has: filter frame 2; Be filtered the screen pack 4 that device frame 2 keeps; And freely the attraction nozzle 6 of sliding along the surface of screen pack 4.

Attract nozzle 6 to utilize the pair of guide rails 8 of the upper and lower side that is arranged on filter frame 2, keep certain distances and move left and right successfully with screen pack 4.At an end that attracts to link on the nozzle 6 suction tube 10, the other end of suction tube 10 is attached on the suction device 12.Suction tube 10 is by not hindering mobile can the forming by crooked pipe that attracts nozzle 6.In addition, blast pipe 14 links with suction device 12, and guides into outdoor.By attracting nozzle 6 to attract to be discharged to outdoor via suction tube 10, suction device 12, blast pipe 14 then attached to the dust on the screen pack 4.

In the time of in filter 56 being built in general home-use small air-conditioning system, need seek the miniaturization/little outputization of suction device, therefore, must bring into play strong attraction with little air quantity, attract nozzle 6 to strengthen attraction, and use is by switching the attraction position-switching device that its position comes the whole face to screen pack 4 to clean by attractions is focused on a part.

First embodiment

Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B illustrate the structure of the attraction nozzle 6 of first embodiment of the invention, at the peristome 18 that attracts to be provided with on the nozzle body 16 the slit shape of the total length that is equivalent to screen pack 4, in addition, can be provided with attraction hole 22 on 20 along being with of these peristome 18 drivings, thus can be only attract, and can rotating band 20 change and attract the position from the part of peristome 18.In addition, owing to be with 20 along attracting nozzle body 16, therefore, can be by means of by deposited, bonding etc. and integrally formed band guiding elements 24 comes pilot tape 20 with attracting nozzle body 16, thus attracting the part beyond the hole 22 to take place to attract to reveal when can be suppressed at 20 guiding.According to this structure, because little air quantity concentrated by less attraction hole 22, therefore, the wind speed of the air by attracting hole 22 increases, even small-sized suction device also can be brought into play strong attraction.

In addition, on with 20 surface, used sheet brush (the sheet brush) 26 of fine sheet to be fixed on the next door that attracts hole 22, play and make attached to the effect of the dust on the screen pack 4 from the dust separation member of screen pack 4 separation, by with 20 driving, the position that can make sheet brush 26 is with attracting hole 22 to change.According to this structure, only depend on drive unit can solve the required drive unit of change that attracts position and sheet brush position with 20, therefore simple in structure, can realize cheaply simultaneously, can also remain the position relation that attracts hole 22 and sheet brush 26.

As shown in Figure 4, comprehensive cleaning of screen pack 4 is following to be carried out: change the position that attracts hole 22 and brush 26 by what drive to attract nozzle 6 with 20, attract nozzles 6 and to attracting hole 22 and brush 26 to carry out the reciprocating action shown in the arrow among the figure repeatedly by driving along screen pack about 4.Attract the length of hole 22 and brush 26 to be configured to the about 1/4th of screen pack total length, clean by the whole face that moves of four reciprocal cleanings shown in the figure to screen pack 4.

In addition, the height h1 of the brush of the sheet shown in Fig. 3 B 26 designs according to the distance with screen pack 4.The distance of screen pack 4 and attraction nozzle 6 is designed to 1.5mm in the axial centre that attracts nozzle 6, even feasible screen pack 4 deflections (being 1mm to the maximum) etc. can not contact yet.Thereby, when on the opposite direction that is attracting nozzle 6 deflection of screen pack 4 taking place, attract nozzle 6 and screen pack 4 largest interval 2.5mm.H1 is set at 5.0mm, even make under this state sheet brush 26 also can fully contact with screen pack 4.Though with bonding agent etc. sheet brush 26 is fixed on and is with on 20 rub screen pack 4 owing to continue to wipe during cleaning, therefore need bonding firmly.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the thin slice of sheet brush 26 forms the L word shape, by strengthening and strengthening the power of being adhesively fixed with the area of 20 bonding portions.When using this shape, the part that bends to the L word is swung to easily and is with 20 1 sides, therefore, supports with band guiding elements 24 and to keep the L word state.Forming the L word shape is in order to obtain bond area, also can be inverted T-shape shape or other similar shape therefore.

In home-use small air-conditioning system,, therefore, as shown in Figure 2, attract nozzle 6 to form along the shape of screen pack 4 bendings because screen pack 4 is positioned at top and the front.Thereby also there is crooked state in sheet brush 26 according to the activation point with 20, but because thin slice is extremely thin, so sweep is deformed into wavyly, can drive swimmingly.In addition, in Fig. 3 A, the bend of sheet brush is not depicted as wavy.With 20 and sheet brush 26 when requiring hot strength and durability to abrasion, also require flexibility with respect to bending, therefore, its material is preferably used rubber or resin molding.Particularly resin molding intensity, flexibility, the durability such as PET (PETG) or PEN (PEN) is very good in the resin molding, from its mechanical strength, be with 20 can be thinned to 75～100 micron orders, therefore, it is thinner to attract nozzle 6 self also can be configured, and has improved its taking in property.Consequently, the slimming of indoor unit main body becomes possibility, also is preferred from the design aspect.And aspect cost, fee of material and processing charges are also very cheap.

For sheet brush 26, when using rubber from the material characteristic, used thickness is the material about 0.5～1.0mm, when using resin molding, uses about 50～75 microns material.

Fig. 5 is the enlarged drawing of the part (the B part among Fig. 3 A) of sheet brush 26, and the state of bonding processing front and back is shown, and as shown in Figure 5, can very simply sheet brush 26 be adhesively fixed to and be with on 20.Particularly be with 20 and sheet brush 26 both sides when using resin molding owing to can use deposited (hot melt applies or ultrasonic wave coating), therefore, and utilize bonding agent to be adhesively fixed to compare, can carry out more strong being adhesively fixed.

Action, effect to the filter 56 that as above constitutes describes below, but at first the brush when having used hairbrush as brush and the behavior of dust describe.

Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B illustrate the attraction structure of nozzle figure that has used hairbrush, and with 20 surface, hairbrush 28 is adhesively fixed on the next door that attracts hole 33.This hairbrush 28 has the effect of peeling off attached to the dust on the screen pack 4 that makes, and therefore, can't peel off from screen pack 4 only depending on attraction, thereby the dust that can't clean also can attract cleaning.The nylon loops that use in the hairbrush 28 more.Hairbrush 28 is under with 20 driving and attract hole 22 to change the position together, owing to be positioned at the next door that attracts hole 22 all the time, therefore, attracts by the dust under hairbrush 28 brushes from attracting hole 22.

But in the attraction nozzle 6 that has used hairbrush 28, along with increasing of the cleaning number of times of screen pack 4, dust is attached on the hairbrush 28, and the cleaning performance of filter is descended, and therefore needs regularly safeguard hairbrush 28.

Attraction nozzle section schematic diagram when Fig. 7 has been to use the cleaning of attraction nozzle 6 of hairbrush 28.Solid arrow represents to attract wind, the direct of travel when white arrow is represented to attract nozzle 6 to go to action.Hairbrush 28 is installed in the rear that attracts the hole with respect to the cleaning direct of travel of going to action that attracts nozzle 6.Bai Yuan represents the dust that dry dust etc. easily is attracted, and black circle expression is attached on the screen pack 4 and the dust that is difficult to be attracted by means of the brute forces such as tobacco tar of oil or tobacco.During cleaning, the dust that easily is attracted promptly was attracted before contact hairbrush 28, and the dust that is difficult to be attracted is attracted after being swept by hairbrush 28 again.At this moment, as shown in FIG., contain oil and the dust that is difficult to be attracted in a large number attached to the surface of hairbrush 28, and then along with increasing of cleaning number of times, the inside of hairbrush 28 also enters a large amount of dusts, thereby makes hairbrush 28 be in extremely dirty state.Consequently, not only the cleaning performance of filter descends, and when growing up and coming off attached to the dust on the hairbrush 28, owing to attracting this dust that the possibility that attracts the hole to get clogged is also increased.In addition, owing in dust, also can breed bacterium sometimes, therefore also unhygienic.

The sheet brush 26 that uses in the attraction nozzle 6 of present embodiment can solve said brush 28 intrinsic problem, and can realize the attraction nozzle 6 that do not cause that dust adheres to.

The generalized section of the attraction nozzle when Fig. 8 is the cleaning of present embodiment is from section is observed screen pack 4 to be attracted the attraction nozzle 6 cleaning process and the state of screen pack 4.Arrow among Fig. 8 is represented the material identical with Fig. 7 with circular pattern.

Fig. 8 illustrate the attraction hole 22 with Fig. 3 A part, be the state of A-A section.Owing to attract hole 22 before sheet brush 26, therefore, dry dirt is peeled off and is attracted removal from screen pack 4 under the effect of attraction.Thereby for the dust that only depends on attraction to be difficult to remove by means of wet goods, by attracting sheet brush 26 soft distortion after the hole 22 and close attachment on the surface of screen pack 4, the surface of combing screen pack 4 and dust is peeled off from screen pack 4.The dust of being stripped from is by being attracted by near attraction hole 22 and being cleaned.Surface by combing screen pack 4 is cleaned, utilize hair to embed the hairbrush that cleans in the screen pack 4, can under the very little situation of resistance, clean, about to drive the motor that attracts nozzle 6 also can be little output/small-sized, and then, also be favourable aspect the reliabilities such as motor temperature rising.In addition, can use micro-machine also to have the high advantage of the free degree at the design aspect of indoor unit main body.Because sheet is brushed 26 softnesses, therefore, even screen pack 4 distortion or deflections, sheet brush 26 also can be out of shape thereupon, thereby the top of sheet brush 26 seamlessly closely contacts with screen pack 4, therefore, peels off the ability height of dust, and cleaning performance is very good.On the other hand, owing to its flexibility, therefore dust can not released the opposition side (heat exchanger side) of screen pack 4.Though gather sometimes by sheet brush 26 dusts of peeling off by force in the top ends of sheet brush 26, when accumulating to a certain degree, can be attracted removal.Sheet brush 26 is different with hairbrush, the position of not twining dust, and, because therefore smooth surface is difficult to adhere to dust.Even temporarily be attached on the surface, also can come off immediately wiping in the process of rubbing with screen pack 4.Therefore, by using sheet brush 26, can keep cleaning performance lastingly, and not need the such maintenance of cleaning brush.

Second embodiment

Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B illustrate the attraction structure of nozzle of the filter 56 of second embodiment of the invention, and present embodiment is provided with a plurality of otch on sheet brush 26A these are different with above-mentioned embodiment on the one hand.

Shown in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, otch enters root (with the face of 20 1 sides) from the top of sheet brush 26A, forms the gap by shape being cut into the V font in notch portion.

Figure 10 is the enlarged drawing of the part (the E part among Fig. 9 A) of sheet brush 26A, shows the state of bonding processing front and back.As shown in figure 10, the otch that adds sheet brush 26A is made as 2mm at interval at interval, and the size of the head portion of each otch is made as 1mm, so is cut into the V font.Because screen pack 4 has used 40 orders (an inch comprises 40 filter fibers), therefore, the interfibrous distance of screen pack 4 is 0.64mm, as long as the top that sheet is brushed 26A is located at more than the 0.64mm, just can prevent that mesh that sheet brush 26A enters screen pack 4 from tangling and the damage that causes.In the present embodiment, because the mesh of screen pack 4 is uneven at interval, therefore, considers the edge and be set and be 1mm.Like this, size (the especially size of the head portion) decision design of sheet brush 26A must be bigger at interval than the sieve mesh of screen pack 4.If the sieve mesh of screen pack 4 is thin, then the otch of sheet brush 26A at interval also can be little, but when sheet is brushed 26A and for example used the resin molding of 75～100 micron thickness, and it is meticulous to be not suitable for from the viewpoint of hot strength etc.

The following describes action, the effect of the filter 56 that as above constitutes.

Illustrated that in the first embodiment sheet brush 26A plays the effect that dust is peeled off from screen pack 4.This action of peeling off dust plays a role by sheet brush 26A combing screen pack 4, if but the fall effect of dust of bullet when further utilizing sheet brush 26A to be returned to original shape under the elastic force effect then can obtain strong stripping ability.

Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B utilize schematic diagram to show this effect, and Figure 11 A is illustrated in the cleaning process, and sheet brush 26A is filtered net 4 and holds, thus the state that rearward obviously is out of shape with respect to the direct of travel that attracts nozzle 6.When big dust or the powerful dust contact chip brush 26A that is cemented on the screen pack 4, this deflection increases.Also can become big when in addition, beginning to accumulate dust on the top of sheet brush 26A.When this deflection surpasses certain value, originally with brush 26A with 20 surperficial vertical sheet and restore shape (vertical) next time in the effect of elastic force.

Figure 11 B illustrates described state, and under the trend at this moment, dust is attracted removal to attracting hole one side bullet to fly.Because the power of this moment is more intense, therefore, big dust or the dust that cements also can fly out by bullet.When on sheet brush 26A, a plurality of otch being set, otch is set and the shred that forms frequently carries out this action respectively, therefore, compare with the situation that otch is not set, improved the ability of peeling off dust greatly.And on physical property, this effect is particularly remarkable under the occasion of using resin moldings such as PET or PEN.

In addition, by on sheet brush 26A, a plurality of otch being set, can increase the flexibility of sheet brush on the whole.Consequently, even deflection or concavo-convex etc. is arranged on screen pack 4, sheet brush 26A also can be in contact with it according to its shape, thereby can be swept into each corner.

In addition, when on sheet brush 26A, a plurality of otch being set,, aspect driving, also have superiority except improving the cleaning performance.

Figure 12 is the cross section schematic drawing of the attraction nozzle of present embodiment, only described among Fig. 9 A attraction nozzle body 16, be with 20, attract hole 22 and sheet brush 26A.As illustrated before, in order to clean whole of screen pack 4, rotating band 20 changes the position that attracts hole 22.In the present embodiment, on sheet brush 26A, a plurality of fine incision are set, overlapping and form bend when when attracting the bend of nozzle 6 thus by the thin slice of otch sectionalization, need not as first embodiment, be deformed into wavy.Thereby can not brush 26A and apply irrational power, therefore can not cause worsening, improve durability and reliability to sheet.Particularly, by otch being processed into the V font, as shown in figure 12, can also reducing the overlapping part of sheet brush 26A, thereby can further reduce the deterioration of sheet brush 26A.

In addition, in the present embodiment,, to root (with the face of 20 1 sides) otch is cut into the V font from the top of sheet brush 26A, thereby forms the gap, but this helps to draw close with respect to attracting hole 22 to be positioned at the dust of the opposition side of sheet brush 26A as illustrated before.In the first embodiment, sheet is brushed 26 and is hindered from attracting hole 22 to attract the wind of coming, and attraction is inoperative fully for the dust of the opposition side that is positioned at sheet brush 26 with respect to attraction hole 22.Particularly, under the vertical situation of screen pack 4, when supposing to exist the dust of crossing sheet brush 26, because attraction is inoperative, so dust falls and pollutes the indoor unit main body.But, if on sheet brush 26A, a plurality of otch are set and the gap are set respectively, then because the wind that attracts by this gap, therefore, also can attract to clean the dust of crossing sheet brush 26A.

Schematic diagram when Figure 13 is the cleaning of attraction nozzle 6 of present embodiment, the white arrow among the figure represents to attract wind, intensity of its size expression wind.As shown in Figure 13, wind arrives the opposition side of sheet brush 26A by the gap.In addition, it can also be seen that the kerf width of sheet brush 26A is bigger than the mesh width of screen pack 4, can not tangle the mesh of screen pack 4 thus by Figure 13.

And when forming a plurality of otch and the gap is set on sheet brush 26A, when carrying out the cleaning action of reciprocating action of attraction nozzle 6 as shown in Figure 4 repeatedly, because the not contacted filter screen 4 of the sheet of gap portion brush 26A, therefore, the cleaning performance of this part descends.

Therefore, shown in Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B,, then can make whole of the contacted filter screen 4 of sheet brush 26A by the reciprocating action that attracts nozzle 6 if having a plurality of brush 26A in gap with the overlapping mode setting in gap on the next door that attracts hole 22.At this moment, owing to attract wind, therefore, also can attract the dust of the opposition side of cleaning sheet brush 26A by the gap.

In addition, in Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B, two sheet brush 26A are configured in the one-sided of attraction hole 22, but also can shown in Figure 15 A and Figure 15 B, two sheets brush 26A be configured in the both sides that attract hole 22 respectively.Particularly, under latter event, be attracted two sheet brushes of wind guiding 26A that hole 22 attracts, because two sheet brush 26A also have the effect of the wind diffusion that prevents to be attracted, therefore, the attraction wind speed on screen pack 4 surfaces improves, thereby has improved cleaning performance.

The 3rd embodiment

Figure 16 A and Figure 16 B illustrate the attraction structure of nozzle of the filter 56 of third embodiment of the invention, and the difference of present embodiment and above-mentioned first embodiment is, the foaming silicon brush 30 that silicon is foamed as sponge is adhesively fixed on is with on 20.

In Figure 16 B, the width d2 of foaming silicon brush 30 is designed to 5mm, and height h2 is designed to 5mm.Width is a resistance when having considered cleaning performance and having driven and definite, according to the difference of the material of silicon and different.As illustrated at first embodiment, highly be designed to 5.0mm, make screen pack 4 and also can fully contacting when attracting the ultimate range of nozzle 6 to be 2.5mm, but under the occasion of expanded material, be filtered that net 4 is pushed and the state that compresses a little is a normal condition.

The following describes action, the effect of the filter 56 that as above constitutes.

Attraction nozzle section schematic diagram when Figure 17 is the cleaning of present embodiment is from section is observed screen pack 4 to be attracted the attraction nozzle 6 cleaning process and the state of screen pack 4.Solid arrow among the figure represents to attract wind, the direct of travel when white arrow is represented to attract nozzle 6 to go to action.In addition, the dust (being filtered the dust that net 4 is removed) representing to adhere to of the circle on the screen pack 4.Bai Yuan represents the dust that dry dirt etc. easily is attracted, and black circle expression comprises a little wet goods and the dust that is difficult to be attracted, and black triangle is represented to comprise a large amount of wet goods and the dust that is difficult to very much be attracted.Foaming silicon brush 30 is installed in the rear that attracts hole 22 with respect to the cleaning direct of travel of going to action that attracts nozzle 6.

Figure 17 illustrate the attraction hole that has among Figure 16 A part, be the state of F-F section.

In when action of going to of cleaning, owing to attract hole 22 before foaming silicon brush 30, therefore, dry dirt (white circle) etc. are peeled off and are attracted removal from screen pack 4 under the effect of attraction.For the dust that is difficult to attract that only depends on attraction to remove by means of wet goods thereby (black circle), by by attracting foaming silicon brush 30 soft distortion after the hole 22 and close attachment on the surface of screen pack 4, the surface of combing screen pack 4 and dust is peeled off from screen pack 4.The dust of being stripped from is by being attracted by near attraction hole 22 and being cleaned.But,, comprise a large amount of wet goods sometimes and the dust that is difficult to very much attract (black triangle) also can firmly be bonded on the screen pack 4 and can not be removed even if like this.For such dust, be used as brush by using as the soft expanded material of sponge, can be shown in the enlarged drawing of Figure 17, the soft distortion of expanded material also enters between the mesh of screen pack 4, surrounds the dust that tightly cements its seizure is drawn out it from the surface of screen pack 4.This effect major part gives the credit to the existence of the Small Holes on expanded material surface.Like this, dust is by being rubbed by wiping and be gathered into the ball top shape on screen pack 4 surfaces, and this ball top exposes from the opposition side of brush.This ball top that exposes rubs by the wiping of expanded material and peels off from screen pack 4 easily, in addition, makes surface area increase the state that easily is attracted that is in by forming ball top.Though this action is also arranged when using hairbrush, when with expanded material during as brush, ball top has the trend that diminishes, therefore can be as not using hairbrush the excessive and obstruction attraction hole 22 of ball top.Thus, shown in Figure 18 A and Figure 18 B, cleaning when attracting nozzle 6 to go to action and most of dust is attracted to remove, cleaning when the ball top of the remaining dust that is very difficult to attract can be by return action is attracted removal, thereby can bring into play high cleaning performance to all dusts.On the vertical component of screen pack 4, even go to ball top after the action because little, do not fall and continue to remain on the screen pack 4, also can when return action, be cleaned.

As shown in figure 19, attract hole 22A, 22B if be provided with one respectively in the both sides of foaming silicon brush 30, then can remove all dusts by going to action, effect is desirable more.

Though can in expanded material, use such material, can not adhere to also that the surface is gone up and, preferably use silicon for the good aspect of durability of abrasion from the dust that contains oil such as EPT (ethylene propylene rubber).In expanded material, silicon is good aspect intensity, can prevent to cause breakage owing to the friction of when cleaning and screen pack 4.In addition, because expanded material is caught it in the mode of surrounding dust, therefore, can as hairbrush, dust not pushed to the opposition side (heat exchanger one side) of screen pack 4.In addition, because the expanded material softness does not almost have when therefore cleaning to wipe the sound that rubs, quietization in the time of can seeking to clean with screen pack 4.In the present embodiment, according to the experiment of comparative evaluation cleaning performance, in foaming silicon brush 30, use the material of four times of best frothing percentages of cleaning property.

The 4th embodiment

Figure 20 A and Figure 20 B illustrate the attraction structure of nozzle of the filter 56 of four embodiment of the invention, with 20 surface, be adhesively fixed with the cross section on the next door that attracts hole 22 and be trapezoidal brush 32, this brush 32 is by constituting such as sponge or the such expanded material of EPT (ethylene propylene rubber), under with 20 driving, attract hole 22 to change the position together with brush 32.

Here, brush the resistance of width when having considered cleaning performance and having driven of a side of 32 contacted filter screens 4 and set, in addition, the deflection of consideration screen pack 4 is set the height H of brush 32, make brush 32 can fully contact, be in a little confined state with screen pack 4.

Brush 32 can use bonding agent etc. to be adhesively fixed on and be with on 20, but owing to when cleaning with between the screen pack 4 screen pack 4 that rubs continuously under the situation of a little distortion is arranged, therefore, need bonding firmly, to avoid since about drive make repeatedly and brush 32 and peel off.Therefore, in the present embodiment, by will brush 32 cross section form trapezoidal, increase with 20 bond area and by powerful fixing.

Here, if brush 32 left and right directions cross sectional shape can satisfy with the length of a side than the long then arbitrary shape of length of screen pack one side all can, except trapezoidal, for example can also be to have made up trapezoidal and other similar shapes such as rectangular cross sectional shape.

Attraction nozzle section schematic diagram when Figure 21 is the cleaning of present embodiment is from section is observed screen pack 4 to be attracted the attraction nozzle 6 cleaning process and the state of screen pack 4.Arrow among the figure, circle etc. are identical with above-mentioned the 3rd embodiment (particularly Figure 17), omit its explanation.In addition, attract the action of nozzle 6, effect also identical with the 3rd embodiment.

In addition, by in the material of the expanded material of present embodiment, using silicon, even contain the dust of oil, also can not make it be attached to brush surface and from screen pack 4 cleanings, improved cleaning performance, the deterioration of the brush that oil and ambient environmental conditions cause can be prevented simultaneously, and durability can be improved with respect to abrasion and be full of cracks.

In addition, the brush 32 that constitutes by expanded material for present embodiment, as shown in figure 22, form concavo-convex by the face 32a that will contact a side with screen pack 4, the side 32b and the 32c of left and right sides driving side are formed smoothly, especially can improve from the performance of screen pack 4 cleaning dusts, and can improve brush 32 durability with respect to alternating bending.

That is, the roughness of the face 32a that contact with screen pack 4 by strengthening brush 32 can improve for close attachment on screen pack 4 and the cleaning performance of the dust more than the oil-containing that is difficult to peel off.In addition, the side 32b of the left and right directions at least by reducing brush 32 and the roughness of 32c, can improve attract nozzle 6 repeatedly about crooked durability in driving.

The 5th embodiment

Figure 23 illustrates the attraction structure of nozzle of the filter 56 of fifth embodiment of the invention.Attract the basic structure of nozzle 6 itself identical, therefore omit its explanation with the 4th embodiment.

The difference of present embodiment and the 4th embodiment is, as shown in figure 23, constitutes brush 34 by expanded material 36 and the sheet material 38 that is arranged on the side of its left and right sides driving side.

When about when drive attracting nozzle 6, as shown in figure 23, brush 34 is crushed on the screen pack 4, can be to the right in friction screen pack 4 or distortion left.At this moment, brush 34 with 20 bonding plane near produce big stress, about under the alternating bending that drives, what the be full of cracks of producing arranged near the root of expanded material 36 may.

Therefore,, can strengthen expanded material 36, improve crooked durability, prevent the generation of chapping by sheet material 38 being bonded on the side of expanded material 36.

In addition, if expanded material 36 is engaged with sheet material 38, then can in the easy deformation of keeping brush 34, improve the durability of brush 34 with respect to the alternating bending of left and right sides driving direction with nonwoven.

In addition,, then can reduce the contact resistance of brush 34 and screen pack 4, suppress the increase of driving torque, can keep the easy deformation of brush 34 simultaneously, improve the durability of brush 34 with respect to the alternating bending of left and right sides driving direction if in sheet material 38, use resin molding.

In addition, as shown in figure 24,, then can reduce the contact resistance of brush 34A and screen pack 4 greatly, further suppress the increase of driving torque if must be shorter on driving side cross section, the left and right sides than expanded material 36 with the length setting of sheet material 38A.

The sheet brush of first to the 5th above-mentioned embodiment, foaming silicon brush etc. also can be used for not adopting in other filters (for example only sweeping the clearing apparatus of dust type) that attract the cleaning mode, and are not limited to the mode of the illustrated filter of first to the 5th embodiment.
