Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the suction force or the rotational force of a brush in accordance with a contaminated state of a floor surface by controlling rotation of a motor-driven air blower and a motor in response of an operation of a dust detector. CONSTITUTION:When suction dust flowing through a suction air course 4 cuts off a light beam of a light emitting diode 33, the received light quantity of a photodiode 35 decreased and an output becomes small, and as a result, transistors 45, 46 in which the photodiode 15 is connected to its bases become an OFF state and transistors 47, 48 become an ON state, respectively, and a light emitting diode 49 which becomes a display part is turned on. Also, by operation of a relay 42 connected in series to the light emitting diode 49, and a relay switch 42'', a rotation of a motor-driven air blower 2 contained in a body 1 is controlled and suction air is enlarged against a contaminated floor face, and also, a light emitting of the light emitting diode 49, and also, the rotation of the motor-driven air blower 2 provided on the body 1 and a motor 18 provided on a floor brush 10 are controlled simultaneously.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the circuit diagram shown in FIG. 'r
When the i-source plug (37) is plugged into an outlet (not shown) and the hand switch (7) is turned to 011, the transformer relay (38) becomes energized, and the two on the hand switch (7) side
The next circuit is stepped down. At this time, transformer relay (38)
The inner switch terminal (39) is attracted by the relay and turned ON, and the motor (18) on the primary circuit side is rectified by the diode bridge (40), further stepped down by the resistor (4!), and is operated through the relay (42'). In other words, the brush (
16) rotates. In addition, on the secondary circuit side, a light emitting diode (33) rectified by a diode bridge (43) is connected.
) The photodiode (35) receives the light. At this time, if the suction dust flowing through the suction air path (44) blocks the light from the light emitting diode (33), the potdiode (
The amount of light received by the photodiode (35) decreases, and the light output becomes smaller.As a result, the transistors (45) and (46) connected to the base of the photodiode (35) are turned off, and the transistors (47) and (48) are turned on, respectively. A light emitting diode (49) serving as a display section lights up. Furthermore, a relay (4) connected in series with a light emitting diode (49)
2) is also energized, and this relay (42) switches the relay switch (42'), which is connected in series to the resistor (4l) and the motor (l8) on the primary side, to the non-resistance circuit side (5o), and the motor (l8), in other words, if there is a lot of dust in the suction air passage (44), the light emitting diode (49)
) lights up to indicate to the user the dirt on the bed, and increases the rotational speed of the rotating brush (16) of the floor brush (IO) to improve the cleaning performance.

FIG. 8 also shows the electric blower #! built into the main body (1) by the operation of the relay (42) and relay switch (42') connected in series with the light emitting diode (49). The direction of (2) is controlled to increase the amount of air sucked into the dirty floor as described above. Furthermore, FIG. 9 shows the light emission of the light emitting diode (49), the electric blower (2) in the main body (1), and the electric motor (2) in the floor brush (1o).
The rotations of motors (2) and (18) are simultaneously controlled to improve the power of both electric motors (2) and (18) for use on dirty floors. It goes without saying that each motor (2) (1g) may be rotated steplessly depending on the brightness of the light emitting diode (49). Furthermore, in order to inform the user of the rotation condition of the electric motor (18), a standard rotation indicator lamp (not shown) separate from the indicator lamp (49) is connected in series with the resistor (4l) or a strong rotation indicator lamp (not shown) is connected in series with the resistor (4l). ) is connected in series to the non-resistance circuit side (5o), the functionality of the floor brush (10) can be further enhanced. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if these indicator lamps are installed as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. Furthermore, by attaching these indicator lamps to the floor brush (10), the user can always see them during normal cleaning, which is very convenient.

As described above, according to the present invention, in response to the operation of the dust detector. By controlling the rotation of the electric blower or electric motor, you can not only increase the suction power or rotational force of the brush depending on the dirtiness of the bed, but also keep the bed clean. It is possible to power down each electric motor, resulting in a power saving effect.Furthermore, in the case of floor coverings such as carpets, the rotation is controlled, so it is useful for protecting the pile of the carpet).
