The nozzle assembly 30 is rotatably installed at a lower portion of the cleaner body 20. The cleaner body 20 is formed at an upper portion of a rear surface 20a thereof with a hose coupling hole 22, and at a lower portion of the rear surface 20a thereof with a hose coupling pipe 23. The hose coupling hole 22 communicates with the hose coupling pipe 23 through a hose 24.
The exhaust filter unit 50 is installed at one side surface 20b of the cleaner body 20. The cord reel unit 60, having a cord 61, is installed at the rear surface of 20a of the cleaner body 20. In addition, a motor chamber unit (not shown) is installed inside the cleaner body 20 to have a suction motor (not shown) mounted thereon. The motor chamber unit communicates with a lower portion of the dust collecting unit 40 and with the discharge filter unit 50. Accordingly, the air discharged from the dust collecting unit 40 sequentially passes through the motor chamber unit and the discharge filter unit 50, and then is discharged to outside.
An auxiliary cleaning tool receiving part 25 is recessed on a surface 20c of the cleaner body 20 to accommodate the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70. Accordingly, a user may insert the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70 into the auxiliary cleaning tool receiving part 25 to keep the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70 and may withdraw the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70 from the auxiliary cleaning tool receiving part 25 to connect the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly to the hose 24 for use of the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70. In this case, the hose 24 is separated from the hose coupling pipe 23, and then is coupled to the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70 (see FIG. 3). The auxiliary cleaning tool receiving part 25 may be formed by sinking a portion of the other side surface 20c of the cleaner body 20.
The nozzle assembly 30 is rotatably installed on a lower portion of the cleaner body 20. A suction hole (not shown) formed on a bottom surface of the nozzle assembly 30 communicates with the hose coupling pipe 23. Accordingly, the air which includes dust drawn through the nozzle assembly 30 moves to the hose coupling pipe 23. The nozzle assembly 30 is provided at two sides thereof with moving wheels 31 enabling the cleaner body 20 to move.
The dust collecting unit 40 includes a cyclone unit 41, a dust container 42, and a free-motor filter unit 43.

FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken along line B-B of the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly of FIG. 4.
Referring to FIGS. I to 7, the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly 70 includes a body part 71, a brush unit 80, a nozzle part 90, and a power transferring part 100.
The body part 71 includes at least one passage 71a. The body part 71 has a duct structure enabling the passage 71a to pass air therethrough. Such a passage 71a communicates with a nozzle coupling part 72 of the body part 71 and also with a hose coupling part 73 of the body part 71. Accordingly, air introduced to the nozzle coupling part 72 passes through the passage 71a inside the body pad 71, and then is discharged to the hose coupling pad 73.
The brush unit 80 includes a brush 81 and a brush rotary shaft 82 having the brush 81 inseded therein.
The brush 81 is formed using soft hair in the form of microfiber. The material of the brush 81 is not limited thereto, and the brush 81 may be formed using any material -microfiber, for example -that can collect dust using static electricity.
The brush rotary shaft 82 is rotatably installed on the body pad 71. The brush rotary shaft 82 is connected to a first gear 121 of a gear unit 120 such that the brush rotary shaft 82 rotates by receiving power from the first gear 121.
The nozzle pad 90 includes a pipe 91, a shield pad 92, and a rib 93. The pipe 91 has an open-end 91 a and a close-end 91 b. The nozzle pad 90 is detachably installed on the body pad 71. If the open-ended 91 a of the pipe 91 is coupled to the nozzle coupling pad 72 of the body pad 71, the pipe 91 communicates with the passage 71a of the body pad 71, and in such a configuration, if the hose coupling pad 73 is coupled to the hose 24, the air suction force of the cleaner body 20 is transferred to the pipe 91.
The pipe 91 is disposed at an upper side of the brush unit 80 while extending in parallel to the brush unit 80. A plurality of through-holes 94 are formed through a bottom surface of the pipe 91, that is, a surface of the pipe 91 facing the brush unit 80. Each of the through-holes 94 is configured to have a larger cross-sectional area as the through-hole 94 is disposed fadher from the body pad 71. In this manner, the air suction force may reach to the end of the nozzle pad 90.
The shield pad 92 extends from the pipe 91 to cover at least one podion of the brush 81 to guide dust to the through-holes 94 and to prevent dust from being scattered when dust is separated from the brush 81.
The rib 93 reinforces the strength of the shied pad 92. The rib 93 extends from the pipe 91 to suppod a bottom surface of the shield pad 92.
The power transferring pad 100 includes a fan unit 110 and a gear unit 120.
The fan unit 110 includes a fan 111 and a fan rotary shaft 112 rotatably supporting the fan 111.
The fan 111 is installed on the passage 71a of the body part 71. The air passing through the passage 71a of the body part 71 rotates the fan 111. In this manner, the airflow movement of air passing through the passage 71a is converted to a rotary movement of the fan 111.
The gear unit 120 transfers a rotary movement of the fan unit 110 to a rotary movement of the brush unit 80. The fan rotary shaft 112 of the fan unit 110 is disposed perpendicular to the brush rotary shaft 82 of the brush unit 80. The fan rotary shaft 112 rotates in linkage with the second gear 122 of the gear unit 120, and the brush rotary shaft 82 rotates in linkage with the first gear 121 of the gear unit 120. In order for the gear unit 120 to transmita rotary movement in a perpendicular direction, a worm gear is used. In addition, since the worm gear has a predetermined reduction gear ratio, the rotation velocity of the fan 111 and the rotation velocity of the brush 81 are adjusted.
Hereinafter, the air flow of the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly and the sequence of power transfer of the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly will be described in detail.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 7, as a power source is supplied to a suction motor (not shown), an air suction force is generated from the cleaner body 20. The air suction force is transferred to the nozzle part 90, so that the dust attached on the brush unit 80 is introduced to the nozzle part 90 by passing through the through-holes 94. The air introduced to the nozzle part 90 passes through the passage 71a of the body part 71 and then moves to the hose 24 through the hose coupling part 73. The dust is separated from the air, which is provided to the dust collecting unit through the hose 24 in the cyclone part 41, and the separated dust is stored in the dust container 42. The air purified from separating dust is filtered and discharged while sequentially passing through the free-motor filter part 43, the motor chamber part, and the discharge filter unit 50.
Meanwhile, the air introduced to the nozzle part 90 allows the fan unit 110 to rotate while passing through the passage 71a of the body part 71. The fan rotary shaft 112 of the fan unit rotates the second gear 122 of the gear unit 120 and thus rotates the first gear 121, which is engaged with the second gear 122. Thereafter, the first gear 121 rotates the brush rotary shaft 82 of the brush unit 80. In this manner, the rotary movement of the fan unit 110 is transmitted to the rotary movement of the brush unit 80. At this time, the rotation velocity of the brush unit 80 is significantly reduced compared to the rotation velocity of the fan unit 110 due to the reduction gear ratio of the gear unit 120, thereby preventing dust on the brush unit 80 from being scattered due to centrifugal force. As described above, while the brush unit 80 is rotating and cleaning the surface of furniture or electronic appliances, the dust attached on the brush unit 80 is drawn through the nozzle part 90 and then is collected in the dust container 42 of the cleaner body 20.
The disclosure herein has provided example embodiments of an auxiliary cleaning tool assembly used with a cleaning apparatus, however the disclosure is not limited to specific embodiments. For example, while the drawings may illustrate a type of cleaning apparatus, such as an upright vacuum cleaner, the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly disclosed herein is not limited to any particular type of cleaning apparatus. For example, the auxiliary cleaning tool assembly may be used in a cleaning apparatus which is not an upright vacuum cleaner. Other types of cleaning apparatus may include, but are not limited to, stick or broom vacuum cleaners, canister vacuum cleaners, and/or handheld vacuum cleaners, etc. Additionally, the gear unit has been described as using a worm gear. However, the gear unit is not limited to a worm gear.
