Description

  The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner that increases a suction force using static electricity and wind force associated with rotation by providing a roller with a fiber in a vacuum cleaner nozzle and rotating the roller.

Vacuum cleaners that use air suction, roller-type cleaners that remove hair and dust by using the adhesive force of adhesive tape, and dust that is absorbed and removed by the effects of static electricity and chemical substances There are many types such as mop type and rag type cleaning tools. When cleaning, it was necessary to replace the cleaning tool appropriately according to the target part to be cleaned.
Thus, it is troublesome to work by appropriately exchanging various kinds of cleaning tools, and if possible, if one type of cleaning tool can be used for cleaning, the work efficiency will be improved.
This invention aims at including the function of various cleaning tools with one type of cleaning tool.

Problems to be solved by the invention

In the case of the conventional vacuum cleaner using the suction force of air, it is difficult to suck long objects such as hair on the carpet. There are cleaning tools that rotate the roller with adhesive tape to remove such hair, but dust adheres to the surface of the adhesive tape, so the adhesive force decreases quickly and the surface adhesive tape is frequently replaced Had to do.
Moreover, even if the floor is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner that uses air suction, it is difficult to remove fine dust on the surface and dust in the gaps between the plates. For this reason, it was necessary to wipe off with a mop.
Even if dust or the like adhering to a portion with many irregularities is sucked with a conventional vacuum cleaner, the suction force is reduced on the concave surface, and a sufficient dust removing effect cannot be obtained. Although there exists a cleaning tool that removes dust on the uneven surface due to static electricity of the chemical fiber, it has been a troublesome task to remove the dust adhering to the surface of the fiber of the cleaning tool.
Some cleaning tools have chemical substances attached to the rag, but they not only adsorb dust, but they also cause chemical substances to adhere to the object to be cleaned. It was not suitable for.

Means for solving the problem

  A roller with a fiber that generates static electricity is provided at the tip of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, and is rotated by the power of a motor or a propeller using suction force in the direction of rotation toward the tip of the nozzle. Inside the vacuum cleaner nozzle is provided a wiper that scrapes off dust on the surface of the fiber-equipped roller and at the same time generates static electricity by friction.

The invention's effect

The present invention can solve all the problems listed in “Problems to be Solved by the Invention”.
The effect of static electricity on the fiber roller and the wind force generated by the rotation of the fiber roller can strongly attract hair and dust on the carpet surface, and the cleaning tool for the adhesive tape roller is not necessary for cleaning the carpet.
When cleaning the floor, dust in the gap between the plates can be scraped by the hair of the fiber-attached roller or by the effect of static electricity and wind force accompanying the rotation of the roller. Furthermore, since the surface of the plate can be polished by a roller with a fiber, wiping and cleaning using a cleaning tool such as a mop is unnecessary.
In order to suck dust and the like adhering to a portion with many irregularities, it is possible to use even when the unevenness of the irregularities is large by using a relatively long hair of the roller with fiber. The dust attached to the fiber-attached roller is automatically removed by the wiper during the rotation of the roller, so that the work can be continuously performed. Since chemical substances are not used, it is also effective for cleaning things that do not want chemical substances to adhere.

Next, a specific structure of the present invention will be described.
A fiber-attached roller (1) that effectively generates static electricity is provided at the tip of the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner, and the rotation shaft (2) is rotated in the direction of rotation toward the tip of the nozzle by the rotation direction conversion gear (4). A wiper (3) is brought into contact with the rotating roller (1) to remove dust and the like adhering to the surface of the roller (1), and at the same time, static electricity is generated by friction to increase dust adsorption efficiency. Further, the wiper also serves as a shield that does not leak the original suction force of the vacuum cleaner.
The rotational direction change gear (4) is connected to a spiral propeller (5) that generates rotational power by the suction force of the cleaner. The helical propeller (5) is a single rotational power generator and is not essential for the present invention. An electrical motor or the like may be used as the rotational power generator as long as rotational power is obtained.
The roller (1) is suitable because it is easier to clean the roller (1) at the tip of the nozzle because it makes it easier to bring the roller into contact with the uneven surface. Even in the reverse case, the effect of the present invention can be obtained.
It is desirable that the roller (1) has a structure that can be easily replaced for the purpose of deterioration due to wear, cleaning of surface dirt, and the like.
By making the roller (1) a narrow type, a nozzle suitable for cleaning a narrow gap can be obtained.
By making the hair of the roller (1) long, it is possible to obtain a nozzle suitable for cleaning a surface with more unevenness.
The present invention is a nozzle of a vacuum cleaner having the above structure.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) Rotational power is obtained by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner or the power of the motor, and the roller (1) with fiber is rotated.
(B) The roller (1) is in contact with the wiper (3), and static electricity is generated by friction.
(C) When the vacuum cleaner nozzle is brought into contact with the floor, carpet, etc., the static electricity on the surface of the roller (1), the wind force accompanying rotation, the contact between the roller and the cleaning surface, and hair and fine dust that have been difficult to suck up to now It can be sucked and scraped off by the wiper (3) in contact with the roller (1).

  For manufacturers who manufacture household and commercial vacuum cleaners, it is possible to provide users with high convenience by providing cleaners with higher work efficiency.
