【発明の詳細な説明】 産業上の利用分野 本発明は、床用ノズルを有した電気掃除機に関するも
のである。Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner having a floor nozzle.
従来の技術 近年、電気掃除機においては高吸い込み仕事率化がは

般的であった。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has become common for a vacuum cleaner to have a high suction work rate and to absorb mites or the like that have settled on a carpet or a tatami mat with a strong suction force. However, the high suction power increases the operation force of the floor nozzle at the time of cleaning, and in consideration of this, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a high suction force can be output to the hand operation unit 21. In general, a power switch 22 is provided so that the power becomes high only when the user thinks it is necessary.

た。As shown in FIG. 4, the floor nozzle 31 with the rotating brush 33, which corresponds to carpet cleaning and has a driving motor 32 mounted inside the floor nozzle 31, has a floor nozzle.
A side brush 34 is provided to be exposed on the side of 31,
When the floor nozzle 31 comes into contact with a wall or the like, the aforementioned side brush
There was also something at 34 that helped to scrape the dust off the wall.
発明が解決しようとする課題 このように、高吸い込み仕事率化が進むことにより使
用者にとってはより強い力で塵埃を吸い上げる要求が満
たされる反面、非掃除面への床用ノズルの吸着力が増し

壁際や家具の後ろ側等であり、この位置を掃除する際に

あるが壁際にくる度にハイパワースイッチ22を押すのは
わずらわしいこととなっていた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the demand for sucking up dust with a stronger force is satisfied for the user due to the increase in the suction work rate, but the suction force of the floor nozzle to the non-cleaning surface is increased. There is also a surface that is difficult to clean, and using it at the highest suction power rate in all places rather reduced the efficiency of cleaning. However, for example, the position where dust collects in a normal room is not at the center of the room but mostly at the side of a wall or behind furniture, etc.When cleaning this position, anyone wants to absorb at a stretch with strong suction power. It was troublesome to press the high power switch 22 every time it came to the wall.
また同様に、回転ブラシ33を有する床用ノズル31にお

除実感とは少しずれているところがあった。Similarly, in the case of the floor nozzle 31 having the rotating brush 33, when it is located in a place near the wall where there is a lot of dust, it is desirable to rotate the nozzle strongly and quickly to remove it neatly, but the current rotating brush 33 cleans the carpet. Only when the user performs the operation, the user rotates the switch using a switch.

転数を上げるように制御するものである。Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a first means of the present invention comprises:
It comprises a vacuum cleaner main body and a floor nozzle, and a detector for detecting an obstacle is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the floor nozzle, and controls an output of a suction motor in accordance with a detection signal of the detector. The second means of the present invention includes a vacuum cleaner main body and a floor nozzle, and a detector for detecting an obstacle is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the floor nozzle, and the obstacle is detected by the detector. Then, control is performed to increase the rotation speed of the brush rotation motor of the floor nozzle.

常の吸い込み力に下げてしまうものである。Function The present invention has a detector arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the floor nozzle according to the configuration described above, so that when the floor surface is cleaned and the front surface of the floor nozzle comes into contact with the wall surface, the detector contacts the wall surface. The contact signal is detected, and the suction signal of the vacuum cleaner is increased by a few seconds from the normal level based on this detection signal. Dust is sucked at once with a strong suction force, and is reduced to a normal suction force again several seconds after the contact.

向上させるものである。Also, if the rotating brush is driven by a motor with a built-in floor nozzle when cleaning the carpet surface, the detector detects that the floor nozzle has come into contact with the wall surface, etc., as described above. At the same time, the number of rotations of the rotating brush is increased by a few seconds in response to the detection signal, and the carpet surface is strongly scraped up near the wall surface where dust easily accumulates in the same manner as described above to improve the suction performance.
