Description

本発明は、掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータ及び、それを用いた電気掃除機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a rotary rotor of a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum cleaner using the same.

従来この種の掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータは、掃除機用床ノズルに回転自在に設けられ外周面の長手方向に複数の溝部を螺旋状に形成したロータと、それぞれの一端が前記溝部に交互に装着される毛ブラシと、周ブレードから構成されていた。毛ブラシは、木床やタイル面で拭き機能の役割を持つもので、周ブレードは、絨毯のパイルから塵埃を剥離させる機能を有している。   Conventionally, this type of rotary rotor for a vacuum cleaner floor nozzle includes a rotor that is rotatably provided on the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle and has a plurality of grooves formed in a spiral shape in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface, and one end of each rotor is formed in the groove. They consisted of bristle brushes and peripheral blades that were mounted alternately. The bristle brush has a function of wiping on a wooden floor or a tile surface, and the peripheral blade has a function of separating dust from the pile of the carpet.

上記構成により、毛ブラシと、周ブレードのそれぞれの一端を螺旋状の溝部に装着することで、毛ブラシ、周ブレードのそれぞれの先端も螺旋状になり、回転ロータを回転させたときに毛ブラシ、周ブレードのそれぞれの先端が被掃除面に連続して接触して、木床やタイル面を効率よく拭き上げたり、絨毯の塵埃を効率よく掻きとるようになっている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特開平11−318781号公報
With the above configuration, by attaching one end of each of the bristle brush and the peripheral blade to the spiral groove, the tip of each of the bristle brush and the peripheral blade also becomes spiral, and when the rotary rotor is rotated, the bristle brush Each tip of the peripheral blade is in continuous contact with the surface to be cleaned, so that the wooden floor or tile surface can be efficiently wiped off or carpet dust can be efficiently scraped off (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-318781

しかしながら、上記特許文献1に開示されたような従来の掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータにおいては、螺旋状に形成された溝部の捩り角度は、ロータの両端間で、せいぜい180度で、大きいものでも270度程度までであった。このため、回転ロータを回転させたときの毛ブラシや周ブレードと被掃除面との間の摺動抵抗が大きく、掃除機用床ノズルに設けられた回転ロータを回転駆動するモータなどの駆動源を小型化することが困難であった。   However, in the conventional rotary nozzle of a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the torsion angle of the groove formed in a spiral shape is at most 180 degrees between both ends of the rotor. But it was up to about 270 degrees. For this reason, when the rotating rotor is rotated, the sliding resistance between the bristle brush or the peripheral blade and the surface to be cleaned is large, and a driving source such as a motor that rotationally drives the rotating rotor provided in the floor nozzle for the cleaner It was difficult to reduce the size.

それを解決する手段として、毛ブラシや周ブレードの突出代を短くして、それらと被掃除面との間の摺動抵抗を小さくして駆動源に加わる負荷を低減し、駆動源を小型化する方法も可能だが、これでは、毛ブラシや周ブレードの本来の拭き性能や塵埃掻き揚げ性能が低下してしまうという課題があった。   As a means to solve this, the protruding margin of the bristle brush and the peripheral blade is shortened, the sliding resistance between them and the surface to be cleaned is reduced, the load applied to the drive source is reduced, and the drive source is reduced in size. However, there has been a problem that the original wiping performance and dust cleaning performance of the bristle brush and the peripheral blade are deteriorated.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するもので、清掃体の拭き性能や塵埃掻き揚げ性能を低下させること無く、被掃除面と清掃体との間の摺動抵抗が小さく、回転ロータを回転させる駆動源を小型化することが出来る掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and the sliding resistance between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning body is small without reducing the wiping performance and dust lifting performance of the cleaning body, and the rotating rotor rotates. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary nozzle of a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner that can reduce the size of a driving source to be reduced.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータは、掃除機用床ノズルに回転自在に設けられ外周面の長手方向に複数の溝部を形成したロータと、一端が前記溝部に装着される清掃体からなり、前記溝部を前記ロータの全長に渡って360度以上の捩り角度で螺旋状に形成し、前記清掃体を、細い繊維でブラシ状に形成された清掃体Aと、軟質材でブレード状に形成された清掃体Bと、払拭布で形成された清掃体Cと、前記清掃体Aよりこしの強い細い繊維でブラシ状に形成された清掃体Dのいずれかを2つ以上組み合わせて構成したもので、螺旋状に形成された溝部に装着されて、同様に螺旋状になった清掃体により、被掃除面の塵埃がロータの長手方向に沿って確実に掻き揚げられ、その捩り角度が360度以上になっているので、被掃除面と清掃体との間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減し、回転ロータを回転させる駆動源の小型化ひいては掃除機用床ノズルの小型化が図れる。   In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a rotary rotor for a vacuum cleaner floor nozzle according to the present invention includes a rotor provided rotatably on the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle and formed with a plurality of grooves in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface, and one end. A cleaning body mounted on the groove portion, the groove portion is formed in a spiral shape with a twist angle of 360 degrees or more over the entire length of the rotor, and the cleaning body is formed in a brush shape with fine fibers. A body A, a cleaning body B formed of a soft material in a blade shape, a cleaning body C formed of a wiping cloth, and a cleaning body D formed in a brush shape with fine fibers stronger than the cleaning body A It is configured by combining two or more of them, and is attached to the spirally formed groove, so that the dust on the surface to be cleaned is ensured along the longitudinal direction of the rotor by the spirally cleaned body. The twist angle is 360 degrees or more. Since going on, the sliding resistance between the cleaning element and the cleaning surface is greatly reduced, size reduction and hence Vacuum miniaturization of floor nozzle drive source for rotating the rotating rotor can be reduced.

さらに、清掃体A〜清掃体Dの組み合わせを変えるだけで、木床、絨毯等床面の種類に応じて、自在に回転ロータが組み立てられるので、製造コスト、在庫管理コスト等を低減させることができる。   Furthermore, by simply changing the combination of the cleaning body A to the cleaning body D, the rotating rotor can be freely assembled according to the type of floor surface such as a wooden floor or a carpet, so that manufacturing costs, inventory management costs, etc. can be reduced. it can.

また、本発明の電気掃除機は、吸引力を発生させる電動送風機と、塵埃を捕集する集塵室と、前記集塵室に連通するように接続される掃除機用床ノズルとを備え、前記掃除機用床ノズルに、請求項1〜5のいずれか1項に記載の掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータを配したもので、被掃除面と回転ロータとの間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減することで、回転ロータを回転させるモータなどの駆動源が小型化し、その結果掃除機用床ノズルも小型になっているので、掃除機用床ノズルの操作性が著しく向上し、きわめて使用勝手の良い電気掃除機を提供することが出来る。   Further, the electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention includes an electric blower that generates a suction force, a dust collection chamber that collects dust, and a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner that is connected so as to communicate with the dust collection chamber. The rotary nozzle of the floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner according to any one of claims 1 to 5 is arranged on the floor nozzle for the vacuum cleaner, and the sliding resistance between the surface to be cleaned and the rotary rotor is greatly increased. As a result, the drive source such as the motor that rotates the rotating rotor is downsized, and as a result, the floor nozzle for the vacuum cleaner is also downsized. This greatly improves the operability of the floor nozzle for the vacuum cleaner and is extremely useful. A self-evident vacuum cleaner can be provided.

本発明の掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータは、螺旋状の溝部に取り付けられた清掃体により、被掃除面の塵埃がロータの長手方向に沿って確実に掻き揚げられ、その捩り角度が360度以上になっているので、被掃除面と清掃体との間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減し、回転ロータを回転させる駆動源の小型化ひいては掃除機用床ノズルの小型化が図れる。   In the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention, the dust on the surface to be cleaned is reliably lifted up along the longitudinal direction of the rotor by the cleaning body attached to the spiral groove, and the twist angle thereof is 360 degrees. As described above, the sliding resistance between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning body is greatly reduced, and the drive source for rotating the rotary rotor can be downsized, and the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle can be downsized.

さらに、清掃体A〜清掃体Dの組み合わせを変えるだけで、木床、絨毯等床面の種類に応じて、自在に回転ロータが組み立てられるので、製造コスト、在庫管理コスト等を低減させることができる。   Furthermore, by simply changing the combination of the cleaning body A to the cleaning body D, the rotating rotor can be freely assembled according to the type of floor surface such as a wooden floor or a carpet, so that manufacturing costs, inventory management costs, etc. can be reduced. it can.

第1の発明は、掃除機用床ノズルに回転自在に設けられ外周面の長手方向に複数の溝部を形成したロータと、一端が前記溝部に装着される清掃体からなり、前記溝部を前記ロータの全長に渡って360度以上の捩り角度で螺旋状に形成し、前記清掃体を、細い繊維でブラシ状に形成された清掃体Aと、軟質材でブレード状に形成された清掃体Bと、払拭布で形成された清掃体Cと、前記清掃体Aよりこしの強い細い繊維でブラシ状に形成された清掃体Dのいずれかを2つ以上組み合わせて構成したもので、螺旋状に形成された溝部に装着されて、同様に螺旋状になった清掃体により、被掃除面の塵埃がロータの長手方向に沿って確実に掻き揚げられ、その捩り角度が360度以上になっているので、被掃除面と清掃体との間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減し、回転ロータを回転させる駆動源の小型化ひいては掃除機用床ノズルの小型化が図れる。   1st invention consists of the rotor which was provided in the floor nozzle for vacuum cleaners rotatably, and formed the some groove part in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface, and the cleaning body by which one end is mounted | worn with the said groove part, and the said groove part is said rotor The cleaning body A is formed in a spiral shape with a twist angle of 360 degrees or more over the entire length of the cleaning body, and the cleaning body A is formed in a brush shape with thin fibers, and the cleaning body B is formed in a blade shape with a soft material. , Formed by combining two or more of the cleaning body C formed of a wiping cloth and the cleaning body D formed of a fine fiber stronger than the cleaning body A into a brush shape. Since the cleaning body, which is mounted in the groove portion, is similarly spiraled, dust on the surface to be cleaned is reliably lifted up along the longitudinal direction of the rotor, and its twist angle is 360 degrees or more.

清掃体3は、清掃体A3aと、清掃体B3bと、清掃体C3c、清掃体D3dのいずれかを2つ以上組み合わせて構成されている。
次に、図3を用いて、清掃体A3a、清掃体B3b、清掃体C3c、清掃体D3dの詳細について説明する。
The cleaning body 3 is configured by combining two or more of the cleaning body A3a, the cleaning body B3b, the cleaning body C3c, and the cleaning body D3d.
Next, details of the cleaning body A3a, the cleaning body B3b, the cleaning body C3c, and the cleaning body D3d will be described with reference to FIG.

清掃体A3aは、主に、木床やタイル上の塵埃を掻き揚げる機能を有するもので、図3(a)に示すように、全体が帯状で、芯線3eを間にして折り曲げた多数の細い繊維からなるブラシ片3fと、ブラシ片3fの根元部を、芯線3eと共に覆い挟むと共に、ロータ2の溝部4に挿入される帯状体3gから構成されている。なお、芯線3eは、清掃体A3aの組み立て上必要なもので、清掃体A3aの完成後、抜き取っても良い。   The cleaning body A3a mainly has a function of sweeping up dust on the wooden floor and tiles. As shown in FIG. 3A, the entire cleaning body A3a is in the form of a strip and is bent with a core wire 3e in between. The brush piece 3f is composed of a belt-like body 3g, and the base portion of the brush piece 3f is covered with the core wire 3e and inserted into the groove 4 of the rotor 2. The core wire 3e is necessary for assembling the cleaning body A3a, and may be removed after the cleaning body A3a is completed.

また、芯線3eを用いることなく、清掃体A3aが組み立てられるのであれば、勿論芯線3eは不要である。又、従来から実施されている、基布にパイルを織り込んで加工された起毛布ブラシを使用しても良い。   If the cleaning body A3a is assembled without using the core wire 3e, the core wire 3e is of course unnecessary. Moreover, you may use the brushed fabric brush processed by weaving the pile in the base fabric conventionally implemented.

清掃体B3bは、主に、絨毯のパイルについた塵埃を掻きとる機能を有するもので、図3(b)に示すように、ブレード状で、シリコンゴムなどの軟質材で形成されたブレード片3hと、その根元部に一体的に形成され、ロータ2の溝部4に挿入される基部3jから構成されている。   The cleaning body B3b mainly has a function of scraping dust on the carpet pile. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the cleaning body B3b has a blade shape and a blade piece 3h formed of a soft material such as silicon rubber. And a base portion 3j that is integrally formed at the base portion and is inserted into the groove portion 4 of the rotor 2.

清掃体C3cは、主に、木床やタイル等の表面を磨く機能を有するもので、図3(c)に示すように、全体が帯状に形成され、表面に払拭布3kを設けた払拭体3mと、その根元部に一体的に形成され、ロータ2の溝部4に挿入される基部3nから構成されている。   The cleaning body C3c mainly has a function of polishing the surface of a wooden floor, tile, etc. As shown in FIG. 3 (c), the entire cleaning body C3c is formed in a strip shape and has a wiping cloth 3k on the surface. And a base portion 3n formed integrally with the root portion and inserted into the groove portion 4 of the rotor 2.

清掃体D3dは、主に絨毯上のパイルについて塵埃を掻き取る機能を有するもので、図3(d)に示すように、全体が帯状で芯線3pを間にして折り曲げた多数の繊維からなるブラシ片3rと、ブラシ片3rの根元部を、芯線3pと共に覆い挟むと共に、ロータ2の溝部4に挿入される帯状体3sから構成されている。ブラシ片3rは、清掃体A3aのブラシ片3fより繊維のこしが強くなるように設定されている。   The cleaning body D3d has a function of scraping dust mainly on the pile on the carpet. As shown in FIG. 3D, the cleaning body D3d is a brush made of a large number of fibers that are belt-shaped and bent with a core wire 3p in between. The strip 3r and the base portion of the brush strip 3r are covered with the core wire 3p, and the strip 3r is inserted into the groove 4 of the rotor 2. The brush piece 3r is set so that the fiber is stronger than the brush piece 3f of the cleaning body A3a.

例えば、清掃体D3dのブラシ片3rの繊維径を、清掃体A3aのブラシ片3fの繊維径より太くしたり、あるいは、清掃体D3dのブラシ片3rの材質を、清掃体A3aのブラシ片3fの材質より剛性のある繊維を使用したりすることで、ブラシ片3rの繊維のこしをブラシ片3fより強くすれば良い。   For example, the fiber diameter of the brush piece 3r of the cleaning body D3d is made larger than the fiber diameter of the brush piece 3f of the cleaning body A3a, or the material of the brush piece 3r of the cleaning body D3d is changed to that of the brush piece 3f of the cleaning body A3a. The fibers of the brush piece 3r may be made stronger than the brush piece 3f by using fibers that are more rigid than the material.

なお、芯線3pは、清掃体D3dの組み立て上必要なもので、清掃体D3dの完成後、抜き取っても良い。また、芯線3pを用いることなく、清掃体D3dが組み立てられるのであれば、勿論芯線3pは不要である。   The core wire 3p is necessary for assembling the cleaning body D3d, and may be removed after the cleaning body D3d is completed. Moreover, if the cleaning body D3d is assembled without using the core wire 3p, the core wire 3p is of course unnecessary.

帯状体3g、3s、基部3j、3nのそれぞれの断面形状は、ロータ2の溝部4の断面形状とほぼ同一で、溝部4に挿入した後は、溝部4の開口から外れないようにしてある。なお、帯状体3g、3s、基部3j、3nの断面形状は、本実施の形態における形状に限定されるものではなく、溝部4の開口幅よりも大きい幅を有した形状のものであれば、いかなる形状のものであってもかまわない。   The cross-sectional shapes of the belt-like bodies 3g, 3s and the base portions 3j, 3n are substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape of the groove portion 4 of the rotor 2, and are not removed from the opening of the groove portion 4 after being inserted into the groove portion 4. The cross-sectional shapes of the strips 3g, 3s, the base portions 3j, 3n are not limited to the shapes in the present embodiment, and if the shape has a width larger than the opening width of the groove portion 4, Any shape is acceptable.

回転ロータ1の組み立ては、各溝部4の一方の端部より、清掃体A3a、清掃体B3b、清掃体C3c、清掃体D3dの帯状体(3g又は3s)又は基部(3j又は3n)を挿入し、ロータ2の一端にプーリー付きホルダー33を、他端に軸受けホルダー34をそれぞれ圧入して完成する。完成された回転ロータ1にベルト32を張架し、両端を軸受け35で保持しながら掃除機用床ノズル30の所定の部位に挿入して、掃除機用床ノズル30への組み立てが完了する。   The rotating rotor 1 is assembled by inserting the strips (3g or 3s) or the base (3j or 3n) of the cleaning body A3a, the cleaning body B3b, the cleaning body C3c, and the cleaning body D3d from one end of each groove portion 4. The rotor 2 is completed by press-fitting a holder 33 with a pulley on one end and a bearing holder 34 on the other end. The belt 32 is stretched over the completed rotary rotor 1 and is inserted into a predetermined portion of the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle 30 while both ends are held by the bearings 35, and the assembly to the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle 30 is completed.

次に、図4を用いて、清掃体A3a、清掃体B3b、清掃体C3c、清掃体D3dの組み合わせ例とその作用を説明する。   Next, a combination example of the cleaning body A3a, the cleaning body B3b, the cleaning body C3c, and the cleaning body D3d and the operation thereof will be described with reference to FIG.

図4(a)に示す例は、特に、絨毯の清掃に適した組み合わせ例で、清掃体A3aと、清掃体A3aより突出代が小さい清掃体B3bとを交互に溝部4に装着したもので、回転ロータ2を反時計方向に回転させると、突出代の大きな清掃体A3aが絨毯のパイルを倒し、次に突出代が小さい清掃体B3bが、パイルを押し広げると同時にパイルに付着した塵埃を掻き取り、次にくる清掃体A3aでパイルの奥の塵埃を掻き上げるもので、効果的に絨毯の掃除を行うことができる。また、絨毯清掃中に長い髪の毛が清掃体A3aに巻きついても、清掃体B3bの先端より内方に巻きつくことが無いので、髪の毛をはさみ等で切って簡単に除去できるものである。   The example shown in FIG. 4A is a combination example particularly suitable for carpet cleaning, in which the cleaning body A3a and the cleaning body B3b having a smaller projection margin than the cleaning body A3a are alternately mounted in the groove portion 4, When the rotary rotor 2 is rotated counterclockwise, the cleaning body A3a having a large protrusion allows the carpet pile to be pushed down, and then the cleaning body B3b having the smallest protrusion allows the pile to be spread and scrapes dust adhering to the pile. The cleaning body A3a that is taken up and scrapes up the dust in the back of the pile can effectively clean the carpet. Further, even if a long hair wraps around the cleaning body A3a during carpet cleaning, it does not wrap inward from the tip of the cleaning body B3b, so that the hair can be easily removed by cutting with scissors or the like.

図4(b)に示す例は、特に、絨毯の掃除及び木床の清掃に適した組み合わせ例で、反時計方向に、最も突出代の大きな清掃体A3aと、最も突出代が小さい清掃体B3bと、清掃体A3aと、突出代が清掃体A3aより短く、清掃体B3bより長い清掃体C3cとを順に溝部4に装着したもので、木床上で回転ロータ2を反時計方向に回転させると、木床の溝に突出代の大きな清掃体A3aのブラシ片3fの先端が入り込んで中の塵埃を掻き出し、続いて清掃体C3cが木床の表面を磨き上げ、次の清掃体A3aで塵埃を掻き上げる。この間、出代の短い清掃体B3bは空転するだけで木床の表面に接することは無い。   The example shown in FIG. 4B is a combination example particularly suitable for carpet cleaning and wood floor cleaning. In the counterclockwise direction, the cleaning body A3a having the largest protruding margin and the cleaning body B3b having the smallest protruding margin are provided. And a cleaning body A3a and a cleaning body C3c having a protrusion margin shorter than the cleaning body A3a and longer than the cleaning body B3b are sequentially mounted in the groove portion 4, and when the rotary rotor 2 is rotated counterclockwise on the wooden floor, The tip of the brush piece 3f of the cleaning body A3a having a large protrusion enters the groove of the wooden floor and scrapes out the dust inside. Next, the cleaning body C3c polishes the surface of the wooden floor, and the next cleaning body A3a scrapes off the dust. increase. During this time, the cleaning body B3b having a short allowance only idles and does not contact the surface of the wooden floor.

また、同組み合わせで、絨毯上で運転すると、絨毯のパイルに付着した塵埃が清掃体A3aと、清掃体B3bとで、効果的に掻き取られる。また、畳上の清掃においても、同様の効果が得られる。   Moreover, when it operates on a carpet with the same combination, the dust adhering to the pile of the carpet is effectively scraped off by the cleaning body A3a and the cleaning body B3b. Moreover, the same effect is acquired also in cleaning on a tatami mat.

図4(c)に示す例は、主に、木床の清掃に適した組み合わせ例で、時計方向に、清掃体A3aと、突出代が清掃体A3aより大きな清掃体C3cと、清掃体A3aと、突出代が清掃体A3aより短い清掃体B3bとを順に装着したもので、木床上で回転ロータ2を反時計方向に回転させると、磨き機能或いは拭き機能を有する清掃体C3cが常に木床の表面をなぞるので、磨き効果が極めて大きいものである。また、畳上の清掃においても、同様の効果が得られる。   The example shown in FIG. 4 (c) is a combination example mainly suitable for cleaning a wooden floor. In the clockwise direction, the cleaning body A3a, the cleaning body C3c having a protruding margin larger than the cleaning body A3a, and the cleaning body A3a The cleaning body B3b, which has a shorter protrusion than the cleaning body A3a, is mounted in order. When the rotary rotor 2 is rotated counterclockwise on the wooden floor, the cleaning body C3c having a polishing function or a wiping function is always Since the surface is traced, the polishing effect is extremely large. Moreover, the same effect is acquired also in cleaning on a tatami mat.

図4(d)に示す例は、特に、絨毯の清掃に適した別の組み合わせ例で、清掃体A3aと清掃体A3aより突出代が小さい清掃体D3dとを交互に溝部4に装着したもので、回転ロータ1を反時計方向に回転させると、突出代の大きな清掃体A3aが絨毯のパイルを倒し、次に突出代が小さくてブラシ片3rのこしが清掃体A3aより強い清掃体D3dがパイルを押し広げると同時にブラシ片3rの先端部でパイルに付着した塵埃を掻き取る。次にくる清掃体A3aでパイルの奥の塵埃を掻き上げるもので、効果的に絨毯の掃除を行うことができる。   The example shown in FIG. 4 (d) is another combination example particularly suitable for carpet cleaning, in which the cleaning body A3a and the cleaning body D3d having a smaller projection margin than the cleaning body A3a are alternately mounted in the groove portions 4. When the rotary rotor 1 is rotated counterclockwise, the cleaning body A3a having a large protrusion allows the carpet pile to fall down, and then the cleaning body D3d having a small protrusion and the brush piece 3r is stronger than the cleaning body A3a is applied to the pile. At the same time as spreading, the dust adhering to the pile is scraped off at the tip of the brush piece 3r. The next cleaning body A3a scrapes up the dust in the back of the pile, and the carpet can be effectively cleaned.

又清掃体A3a、清掃体D3dの全てが多数の繊維からなるブラシ片3f、3rのため、高速回転を行っても、清掃体B3bのブレード片3hのように空気をたたく時発生するブー音やサイレン音等が無く、騒音を低下させることができる。   Further, since all of the cleaning body A3a and the cleaning body D3d are brush pieces 3f and 3r made of a large number of fibers, even if high-speed rotation is performed, a buzzing sound generated when the air is hit like the blade piece 3h of the cleaning body B3b There is no siren sound and noise can be reduced.

以上のように本実施の形態によれば、同一のロータ2を用いながら、複数の溝部4に、異なる清掃体3を色々組み合わせて取り付けることにより、被掃除面の種類に適した回転ロータ1を自在に製造することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rotary rotor 1 suitable for the type of the surface to be cleaned is attached to the plurality of grooves 4 by combining different cleaning bodies 3 in various combinations while using the same rotor 2. It can be freely manufactured.

さらに、本実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータ1を用いれば、一つの溝に装着された1本の清掃体3は、360度捩ってあるので、清掃体3の先端を最大で2箇所も床面に接触させることができる。   Furthermore, if the rotary rotor 1 of the floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner in this embodiment is used, one cleaning body 3 mounted in one groove is twisted 360 degrees, so that the tip of the cleaning body 3 is maximized. The two places can be brought into contact with the floor.

また、本実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータは、4本の清掃体3を装着させてあるので、清掃体3を最大で5箇所も床面に接触させることができ、床面へ接触している総面積が多くなり、塵埃の掃き出し効果が向上する。又、多くの清掃体3を床面に接触させることにより床面からロータ2に加わる圧力をロータ2の全長に渡って均一に分散できるため、回転時のロータ2の芯ブレを最小限に抑えることができる。   Moreover, since the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner in this embodiment has four cleaning bodies 3 attached, the cleaning body 3 can be brought into contact with the floor surface at a maximum of five locations. The total area in contact with is increased, and the dust sweeping effect is improved. Further, since the pressure applied to the rotor 2 from the floor surface can be uniformly distributed over the entire length of the rotor 2 by bringing a large number of cleaning bodies 3 into contact with the floor surface, the core blurring of the rotor 2 during rotation is minimized. be able to.

さらに、床面に接触している清掃体3は、180度の捩り角度で螺旋状に形成されたものと比較して、ロータ2の長手方向に対して傾斜角度が大きくなるので、清掃体3の先端部の床面に対する接触状態を辺接触から点接触に近づかせることができ、これにより床面と清掃体3との接触面積が減少し、清掃体3と床面との間の摺動抵抗を減少させることができる。それにより回転ロータ1を駆動する駆動源であるモータ31に加わる負荷が減り、その分同モータ31を小型化することができる。   Further, the cleaning body 3 in contact with the floor surface has a larger inclination angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotor 2 than that formed in a spiral shape with a twist angle of 180 degrees. The contact state of the tip of the floor with the floor surface can be made to approach point contact from side contact, thereby reducing the contact area between the floor surface and the cleaning body 3 and sliding between the cleaning body 3 and the floor surface. Resistance can be reduced. As a result, the load applied to the motor 31 that is a drive source for driving the rotary rotor 1 is reduced, and the motor 31 can be downsized accordingly.

(実施の形態2)図5は、本発明の第2の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータの清掃体Bの斜視図である。なお、上記第1の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータと同一部分については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   (Embodiment 2) FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a cleaning body B of a rotary rotor of a floor nozzle for a cleaner according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part as the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for vacuum cleaners in the said 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

ロータ2に設けた螺旋状の溝部4の捩り角度が大きくなると、その溝部4に取着される清掃体3、例えば清掃体B3bの先端部での展開寸法と、溝部4の展開寸法との差が大きくなるため、図3(b)に示すような、両辺の長さが等しい帯状の清掃体B3bを用いた場合、軟質材で形成されているとは言え、清掃体B3bの先端が倒れ、塵埃の掻き上げ性能が低下するという問題が起こる。   When the twist angle of the spiral groove 4 provided in the rotor 2 is increased, the difference between the developed dimension at the tip of the cleaning body 3 attached to the groove 4, for example, the cleaning body B 3 b, and the developed dimension of the groove 4. Therefore, when using a belt-like cleaning body B3b having the same length on both sides as shown in FIG. 3B, the tip of the cleaning body B3b falls down even though it is formed of a soft material. There arises a problem that the dust scooping performance is deteriorated.

そこで本発明は、図5に示すように、清掃体B3bを、平面に置いたときに円環状になるように形成し、その外周長Loutと内周長Linのそれぞれを、清掃体B3bをロータ2の溝部4に取り付けたときの清掃体B3bの先端の展開寸法と、溝部4の展開寸法と等しくしたもので、これにより清掃体B3bを溝部4に容易に装着できる。   Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning body B3b is formed in an annular shape when placed on a flat surface, and the outer circumferential length Lout and the inner circumferential length Lin are respectively set to the cleaning body B3b as the rotor. The developed dimension of the tip of the cleaning body B3b when attached to the second groove part 4 is equal to the developed dimension of the groove part 4, so that the cleaning body B3b can be easily mounted in the groove part 4.

又ロータ2の溝部4に取り付けられたとき、清掃体B3bの先端が倒れることが無く、塵埃の掻き上げ性能が向上する。さらに、平面上で環状になる形状なので、成形金型の構造が簡素化され、金型費用は勿論、成形工数も削減されるので、安価に形成できる。   Moreover, when attached to the groove 4 of the rotor 2, the tip of the cleaning body B3b does not fall down, and the dust scavenging performance is improved. Furthermore, since it has a ring-like shape on a plane, the structure of the molding die is simplified, and the number of molding steps is reduced as well as the cost of the die, so that it can be formed at a low cost.

又、同一断面形状のロータ2の長さを変えて回転ロータ1の部品展開を図るときは、ロータ2の長さに応じて円環状に形成した清掃体B3bを切断するだけで対応できるので、清掃体B3b用の金型を複数用意する必要は無く、又在庫管理も容易になるものである。   Moreover, when changing the length of the rotor 2 having the same cross-sectional shape and developing the parts of the rotary rotor 1, it is possible to cope by simply cutting the cleaning body B3b formed in an annular shape according to the length of the rotor 2. There is no need to prepare a plurality of molds for the cleaning body B3b, and inventory management is facilitated.

(実施の形態3)図6は、本発明の第3の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータの清掃体Bの斜視図である。なお、上記第1の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータと同一部分については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   (Embodiment 3) FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a cleaning body B of a rotary rotor of a floor nozzle for a cleaner according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part as the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for vacuum cleaners in the said 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施の形態は、上記第2の実施の形態で述べた、帯状の清掃体B3bを用いた場合の問題点を解決する他の例を示すもので、図6に示すように、清掃体B3bの取り付け前の形状、すなわち清掃体B3bの製造後の形状が、ロータ2の溝4に取り付けた時の形状と略同一になるように形成したもので、清掃体B3bのロータ2の溝部4へ取り付ける前の形状と、取り付けた後の形状が略同一なので、溝部4への装着が無理なく容易に出来ると共に、溝部4へ取り付けた後の清掃体B3bに応力が残ることが無く、長寿命化を図ることができる。   The present embodiment shows another example for solving the problem in the case where the belt-shaped cleaning body B3b described in the second embodiment is used. As shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning body B3b The shape before the attachment of the cleaning body B3b, that is, the shape after the manufacturing of the cleaning body B3b is formed so as to be substantially the same as the shape when the cleaning body B3b is attached to the groove 4 of the cleaning body B3b. Since the shape before mounting and the shape after mounting are substantially the same, the mounting to the groove portion 4 can be easily and easily performed, and the cleaning body B3b after mounting to the groove portion 4 does not have any stress, thereby extending the life. Can be achieved.

(実施の形態4)図7は、本発明の第4の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータの側面図である。なお、上記第1の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータと同一部分については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   (Embodiment 4) FIG. 7 is a side view of a rotary rotor of a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part as the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for vacuum cleaners in the said 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータ11は、溝部4の捩り角度が、両側の部位17でのそれと比較して小さい捩り角度の部位18を設けたものである。   The rotary rotor 11 of the floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner in the present embodiment is provided with a portion 18 having a smaller twist angle than that in the portions 17 on both sides.

高捩れ角度の部位17における捩り角度は、両側共に各150度、低捩れ角度の部位18における捩り角度は60度、即ち、夫々の捩り角度を全部加算して360度となるように設けてある。   The torsion angles at the high torsion angle portion 17 are 150 degrees on both sides, and the torsion angles at the low torsion angle portion 18 are 60 degrees, that is, the total twist angles are 360 degrees. .

なお、本実施の形態においては、低捩れ角度の部位18における捩り角度を60度に設定しているが、0度に設定しても良いものであり、この場合は、両側の高捩れ角度の部位17における捩り角度を、例えば、夫々180度に設定することで、全て足して360度とすれば良い。又、本実施の形態においては、低捩れ角度の部位18を、ロータ2の中央に設けているが、中央に限定するものではない。   In the present embodiment, the twist angle at the low twist angle portion 18 is set to 60 degrees. However, the twist angle may be set to 0 degrees. For example, the torsion angles in the portion 17 may be set to 180 degrees, for example, so that all of the twist angles may be 360 degrees. Further, in the present embodiment, the low twist angle portion 18 is provided at the center of the rotor 2, but is not limited to the center.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、高捩れ角度の部位17によって効率的に床面のゴミの掃き出し効果を得ると共に、低捩れ角度の部位18によって電気掃除機の吸気による効率的な吸引効果を得ることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the high-torsion angle portion 17 efficiently obtains the floor surface dust sweeping effect, and the low-twist angle portion 18 efficiently uses the suction of the vacuum cleaner. A suction effect can be obtained.

(実施の形態5)図8は、本発明の第5の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータの斜視図である。なお、上記第1の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータと同一部分については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   (Embodiment 5) FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a rotary rotor of a floor nozzle for a vacuum cleaner according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part as the rotary rotor of the floor nozzle for vacuum cleaners in the said 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータ21は、溝部4の捩り方向を、中央を境に逆方向、すなわち、V字形状にし、その両端側から床面に接するように回転ロータ21を回転(図8中の矢印方向)させるようにしたものである。   The rotary rotor 21 of the floor nozzle for the vacuum cleaner in the present embodiment is configured so that the twisting direction of the groove 4 is opposite to the center, that is, V-shaped, and is in contact with the floor surface from both ends thereof. Is rotated (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8).

なお、左右それぞれの溝部4の捩り角度は、第1の実施の形態と同様に、全長に換算したときに、360度となるようにしてある。又、回転ロータ21の略中央部に捩らない部分を設けて、左右夫々の捩り角度を足して360度になるように設定しても良いものである。   The twist angle of each of the left and right groove portions 4 is set to 360 degrees when converted to the total length, as in the first embodiment. In addition, a portion that is not twisted may be provided at the substantially central portion of the rotary rotor 21 and the left and right twist angles may be added to be set to 360 degrees.

上記構成により、回転ロータ21が矢印方向に回転すると、床面の塵埃が両側端部から中央に寄せられ、その中央部から、掃除機用床ノズル30に作用する電気掃除機の吸引力で効率よく吸引されていく。   With the above configuration, when the rotary rotor 21 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the dust on the floor surface is brought to the center from both side end portions, and from the center portion, the suction force of the vacuum cleaner acting on the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle 30 is efficient. It is sucked well.

なお、特に図示しないが、溝部4の中央部での捩れ角度を、両側でのそれより小さくすれば、清掃体3の両側の捩れ角度の大きな部位で、効率的に床面の塵埃の掃き出しを行い、中央の捩れ角度の小さな部位に、電気掃除機による吸引効果を効率的に作用させることができる。   Although not particularly shown, if the twist angle at the center of the groove 4 is smaller than that at both sides, the dust on the floor surface can be efficiently swept away at the site where the twist angle on both sides of the cleaning body 3 is large. It is possible to efficiently apply the suction effect by the vacuum cleaner to the central portion having a small twist angle.

なお、上記実施の形態では、ロータ2の製造法について、特に言及しなかったが、従来の製造法である捩り押し出し成形や、押し出し成形後捩るなどの方法に限らず、上記実施の形態で述べた構成を形成することができれば、種々の製造方法を採用することができる。   In the above embodiment, the manufacturing method of the rotor 2 is not particularly mentioned. However, the method is not limited to the conventional manufacturing method such as torsion extrusion molding or twisting after extrusion molding, but described in the above embodiment. Various manufacturing methods can be adopted as long as the configuration can be formed.

(実施の形態6)図9は、本発明の第6の実施の形態における電気掃除機の全体側面図である。
本実施の形態における電気掃除機は、前部に塵埃を捕集する集塵室41と、後部に電動送風機42を内蔵した電動送風機室43をそれぞれ備えた掃除機本体40と、前記集塵室41に連通するように一端が掃除機本体40に接続されるホース44と、ホース44の他端に設けられたハンドルパイプ45に着脱自在に接続される延長管46とを備え、前記延長管46の他端に、上記第1〜5の実施の形態における掃除機用床ノズル30の一つを接続するようにしたものである。
(Embodiment 6) FIG. 9 is an overall side view of an electric vacuum cleaner according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
The vacuum cleaner in the present embodiment includes a dust collection chamber 41 that collects dust at the front portion, a cleaner main body 40 that includes an electric blower chamber 43 that incorporates an electric blower 42 at the rear portion, and the dust collection chamber. A hose 44 having one end connected to the cleaner main body 40 so as to communicate with 41, and an extension pipe 46 detachably connected to a handle pipe 45 provided at the other end of the hose 44. One of the floor nozzles 30 for cleaners in the said 1st-5th embodiment is connected to the other end of this.

上記構成により、掃除機本体40を運転し、ハンドルパイプ45を操作して、掃除機用床ノズル30を木床や絨毯上で操作すると、掃除機用床ノズル30に内蔵された回転ロータ(11又は21)が回転し、塵埃が清掃体3により掻き上げられ、電動送風機42による吸引力で、空気と共に塵埃が、延長管46、ホース44を通って集塵室41に流れそこで塵埃が捕集される。   With the above configuration, when the cleaner main body 40 is operated, the handle pipe 45 is operated, and the cleaner floor nozzle 30 is operated on a wooden floor or carpet, the rotary rotor (11 or 11) built in the cleaner floor nozzle 30 is operated. 21) rotates, the dust is scraped up by the cleaning body 3, and the dust with the air flows into the dust collecting chamber 41 through the extension pipe 46 and the hose 44 by the suction force of the electric blower 42, and the dust is collected there. The

本実施の形態によれば、上記第1〜5の実施の形態で述べたように、被掃除面と清掃体3との間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減し、回転ロータ1を回転させるモータなどの駆動源が小型化し、その結果掃除機用床ノズルも小型になっているので、掃除機用床ノズルの操作性が著しく向上し、きわめて使用勝手の良い電気掃除機を提供することが出来る。   According to the present embodiment, as described in the first to fifth embodiments, the sliding resistance between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning body 3 is greatly reduced, and the motor that rotates the rotary rotor 1. As a result, the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle is also miniaturized. As a result, the operability of the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle is remarkably improved, and an extremely convenient vacuum cleaner can be provided. .

以上のように、本発明に係る掃除機用床ノズルの回転ロータは、被掃除面と清掃体との間の摺動抵抗が大幅に軽減し、回転ロータを回転させる駆動源の小型化ひいては掃除機用床ノズルの小型化が図れ、さらに、清掃体A、清掃体B、清掃体C及び清掃体Dの組み合わせを変えるだけで、木床、絨毯等床面の種類に応じて、自在に回転ロータが組み立てられるもので、電気掃除機の床ノズルに限らず、床面洗浄機や、床磨き機などにも適用できるものである。   As described above, the rotary rotor of the vacuum cleaner floor nozzle according to the present invention greatly reduces the sliding resistance between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning body, thereby reducing the size of the drive source for rotating the rotary rotor and cleaning. The machine floor nozzle can be reduced in size, and can be rotated freely according to the type of floor, such as wooden floor and carpet, by simply changing the combination of cleaning body A, cleaning body B, cleaning body C and cleaning body D The rotor can be assembled and can be applied not only to the floor nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, but also to a floor cleaning machine or a floor polisher.
