The opening portion on the front side in the moving direction is opened, and the opening portion on the rear side is closed.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a vacuum cleaner suction tool according to the present invention. The suction tool 1A of the first embodiment is a horizontally long with a dust suction port 4 provided on the lower surface. The head portion 2 and a connecting pipe portion 3 for connecting the suction port 4 to a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner, which extends obliquely rearward from the vicinity of the center of the upper surface of the head portion 2.
[0014]
A plate-shaped holder 5 is provided inside the suction port 4 in the head portion 2 so as to cross the suction port 4 from side to side, and a plate-shaped holder is attached to the lower surface of the holder 5. An elastic member 6 is attached to the elastic member 6 in a horizontal direction so as to divide the suction port 4 into two front and rear openings 4a and 4b, and the elastic member 6 is made of a fiber material such as a nonwoven fabric. A wiping cloth 7 is detachably attached.
[0015]
The holder 5 is made of a hard material such as metal or synthetic resin, has a plate width narrower than the front-rear width of the suction port 4, and both ends in the longitudinal direction of the left and right side walls 10, 10 in the head portion 2. By being slidably fitted in support grooves 11a and 11b cut in the front-rear direction on the side surfaces, the suction port 4 can be moved in the front-rear direction. And when this holder 5 is located in the intermediate part of the suction inlet 4, the 1st and 2nd opening parts 4a and 4b open on the both sides, and the said holder 5 is on either the front and back sides of the suction inlet 4 When moved, the opening on the moved side is closed.
[0016]
On the other hand, the elastic member 6 is formed of a flexible elastic material such as a synthetic resin foam or rubber so as to have a width substantially the same as or larger than the holder 5, and an adhesive tape or the like is formed on the lower surface of the holder 5. It is attached by attachment means 12. In this case, without attaching the entire surface of the elastic member 6 to the holder 5, only the periphery of the central portion is partially adhered as shown in the figure, so that the fastening portion is secured by the non-adhesive portion 6 a and the holder 5 at the front and rear ends. It is desirable that the end portion of the wiping cloth 7 can be sandwiched between them, so that the wiping cloth 7 is securely attached and the wiping cloth 7 is sucked from the suction port 4. Can be prevented.
Further, the elastic member 6 is disposed so that the lower end portion protrudes slightly below the grounding portion 10a at the lower end of the side wall of the suction tool 1A when not being cleaned. Can be pressed against the floor with an appropriate force.
[0017]
The operation of attaching / detaching the wiping cloth 7 to / from the elastic member 6 can be performed while the elastic member 6 is positioned in the suction port 4. However, in order to facilitate the operation, the elastic member 6 is attached to the suction port 4. It is desirable to carry out in the state moved to the attachment / detachment position where all or a part is exposed. For this reason, in the first embodiment, the elastic member 6 can be taken out together with the holder 5.
[0018]
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, at least one of the support grooves 11 a and 11 b to which both ends of the holder 5 are fitted is deepened, and the elastic member 6 is compressed by the inner surface of the side wall 10. While pushing the holder 5 into the support groove 11a, the other end of the holder 5 is removed from the support groove 11b on the opposite side and taken out of the suction port 4, and then the holder 5 is moved in the opposite direction. The holder 5 and the elastic member 6 can be taken out from the suction port 4 by pulling out the opposite end from the support groove 11a.
When there is no need to remove the holder 5, the elastic member 6 abuts against the inner surface of the side wall 10 to restrict the movement of the holder 5, so that the holder 5 does not come off accidentally.
[0019]
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the mechanism that enables the holder 5 to be taken out. In the holder 1B of the second embodiment, the groove depth changes in the groove bottom wall 11c of the support groove 11a (see FIG. The holder 5 can be taken out in the same manner as in FIG. 1 by pressing the groove bottom wall 11 c with the holder 5. Is.
[0020]
The suction tools 1A and 1B having the above-described configuration perform cleaning by connecting the connecting pipe portion 3 to a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner and reciprocating on the floor surface in the front-rear direction similarly to a normal suction tool. . At this time, the dust on the floor surface is sucked through the opening portions 4 a and 4 b that open to the front or rear of the elastic member 6, and the dirt adhering to the floor surface is wiped by the wiping cloth 7 attached to the elastic member 6. Taken.
[0021]
This point will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 3, when the suction tools 1A and 1B move forward, the holder 5 is relatively moved backward in the support grooves 11a and 11b due to friction between the wiping cloth 7 and the floor surface. Accordingly, the second opening portion 4b is closed, so that dust is sucked through the first opening portion 4a on the front side. On the other hand, when the suction tools 1A and 1B are retracted, the holder 5 moves relatively in the support grooves 11a and 11b toward the front of the suction tool and closes the first opening portion 4a. Garbage is sucked through the opening 4b.
[0022]
In this way, when the suction tool moves in any direction, the opening part on the rear side in the moving direction is closed and only the opening part on the front side is opened, so that the suction force of the opened opening part is increased. And you can inhale large and small garbage reliably. Moreover, since the dirt is wiped off with the wiping cloth 7 after the dust is sucked off at the opening, the cleaning efficiency is very good.
[0023]
Thus, the suction tools 1A and 1B can perform both the suction of dust and the wiping with the wiping cloth 7 at the same time, and the cleaning operation is simple and efficient.
Replacement of the wiping cloth 7 soiled by cleaning is performed in a state where the holder 5 is removed from the suction tool, and the holder 5 is remounted on the suction tool after replacement.
[0024]
The elastic member 6 may be fixedly disposed at the central portion of the suction port 4 by locking or fixing the holder 5 at a fixed position.
[0025]
FIGS. 5 and 6 show a third embodiment of the present invention. The suction tool 1C of the third embodiment is a position where the wiping cloth 7 can be easily attached and detached without completely removing the elastic member 6 to the outside. It is made to move to.
[0026]
That is, the holder 15 for holding the elastic member 6 includes a plate-shaped first member 15a movable along the support grooves 11a and 11b, and a plate-shaped second member 15b for attaching the elastic member 6. ing. The first member 15 a is provided with a pair of guide portions 16, 16 extending downward near both ends in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction), and the second member is provided between the guide portions 16, 16. The member 15b is disposed so as to be movable up and down. Cleaning is performed in a state where the second member 15b is raised to the cleaning position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 5, and in a state where the second member 15b is lowered to the attachment / detachment position indicated by the chain line. The wiping cloth 7 is exchanged.
[0027]
The means for locking the second member 15b at the cleaning position or the attachment / detachment position is arbitrary. For example, a protrusion is provided at an appropriate position such as the inner surface of the guide portions 16, 16 or the edge frame 16a, and the second member 15b is provided on the protrusion. There are a method of elastically locking the member 15 and a method of attracting the members 15a and 15b with a magnet.
Since other configurations and operations are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, two types of cleaning, that is, dust suction and dirt wiping, can be performed simultaneously with a single suction tool, so that efficient cleaning can be performed in a short time. Moreover, since it is only necessary to attach an elastic member to the suction port and attach a wiping cloth, the structure is simple.
In addition, when moving the suction tool in either of the reciprocating directions, dirt is wiped off with a wiping cloth after sucking up dust at the opening portion, so that it is easy to clean and efficient.
