As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating brush (3) guides the dust to the suction port (6) while wiping the dust on the guest (15) at the normal position A. Next, as shown in Fig. 4, when the step is reached at the boundary between the board and the board, the distance between the floor brush body (1) and the floor surface increases, and the sound wave generator (13a) reflects on the floor surface. The amount of reception that the sound wave receiving device (13b) receives is weakened. The control device (14) reads this difference and outputs it to the electromagnetic device (12). The electromagnetic device (12) receives this output and pushes out the movable body (12a). Since the movable body (12a) is pushed out, the bearing device (9) is pushed downward against the elastic force of the spring (11). As a result, the rotary brush (3) is lowered from the normal position A to the lower position B, and the step (1
6) Wipe off the dust that has stuck to. After that, when the floor brush main body (1) is moved as shown in FIG. 5, this time the sound wave generator (13a) reflects the sound wave between the plates (17) and causes the sound wave receiver (13b) to receive it. The control device (14) reads the reception rate of sound waves, stops the electric motor (2), retracts the movable body (12a), and pushes up the axial drawing device (9) to information by the elasticity of the spring (11). . As a result, the rotary brush (3) is raised from the lower position B to the upper position C, so that the space between the opening (1a) and the suction port (6) is vacant and the suction of dust becomes good.

Further, again, as shown in FIG. 3, if the floor brush body (1) is moved onto the guest (15), the sound wave generator (13)
In the case of a), the sound wave is reflected by the guest (15) and is received by the sound wave receiving device (13b), so that the sound wave reception rate is deteriorated.
The controller (14) reads this difference, starts the electric motor (2), and outputs it to the electromagnetic device (12) to output the movable body (12).
a) is extruded almost half. This allows the bearing device (9)
The rotating brush (3) returns from the upper position C to the normal position A and wipes the surface of the duster (15) while sending dust to the suction port (6), so that the floor surface can be thoroughly cleaned.

Further, in the above embodiment, the electromagnetic device (12) is controlled by the detection device (13), but the control device (14) is made to detect the ON / OFF of the electric motor (2), and the electromagnetic device is responded accordingly. (12) may be controlled, or as shown in FIG. 7, a dust collection hose is provided with a remote control device (18) so that it can be operated independently. When picking up stuck dust, you can remove persistent dust by lowering the rotating brush (3) and pressing it against the surface of the youtan (15).

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the sound wave generator (13a) and the sound wave receiver (13b) are used as the detection device (13).
By using the light emitting element and the light receiving element disclosed in the publication No. 21795,
You may make it read the difference of the reflectance to the floor surface.
Alternatively, a micro switch having an actuator may be brought into contact with the floor surface to open and close the circuit by the ups and downs of the actuator. That is, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the actuator is sunk into the hair of the dutan (15) to close the circuit at the time of the duty (15), and floats to open the circuit between the boards and the tatami mat. It is a thing. When a control pattern that does not detect the presence or absence of driving of the electric motor (2) is performed, a fan is arranged in the suction port (6), and this fan is rotated by the intake air, and the rotational force of this fan is transferred to the belt ( The drive device may be a so-called conventional turbine that is transmitted to the rotating brush (3) via 4).

Further, the bearing device (9) has a spring (11) from below.
As a result, since it is elastically fixed from above by the electromagnetic device (12), even if a strong impact is applied from below, the force is absorbed by the elasticity and the impact is not transmitted to the bearing device (9).

Also, when cleaning a high-haired jyutan (15) such as the sheaju's jyutan (15), the floor brush sinks under the jyutan (15), increasing the frictional resistance between the rotating brush (3) and the jyutan. , Load is applied to the electric motor (2), but at this time, since the rotating brush (3) is supported by the electromagnetic device (12), it escapes slightly above the normal position A,
The load is not applied to the electric motor (2), and the frictional resistance of the rotating brush (3) is reduced, so that good cleaning can be performed.

1. A floor brush main body, a rotary brush vertically movable in the floor brush main body, a bearing device for supporting both ends of the rotary brush, and a condition of a cleaning surface provided near the bearing device. Detecting device, a drive device provided in the main body for driving the rotating brush according to the detection result of the detecting device, and a shaft movable for adjusting the vertical position of the rotating brush via the bearing device according to the detection result of the detecting device. When the cleaning surface is a carpet according to the detection result of the detection device, the driving device drives the rotating brush, the shaft moving device moves the rotating brush to the normal position, and the cleaning surface is a floor plate or a tatami mat. In this case, the drive device stops the drive of the rotary brush, and the shaft moving device moves the rotary brush above the normal position.
