The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and it is possible to store a required 1t'jc vacuum cleaner on the floorboard of a storage box,
The suction duct is divided into upper and lower parts, one of which is connected to the fixed duct of the lower suction port with an opening/closing lid that opens at the lower front of the storage box, and the other is connected to the fixed duct of the upper suction port of the storage box. The main point is that either one of the two suction ports can be used selectively, and the storage box or vacuum cleaner is equipped with casters to make it movable, so that the storage box or vacuum cleaner can be moved and placed on the floor. vacuums up debris such as hair clippings. [Example] The floor cleaning device of the present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated example. Figure 1. FIG. 2 shows the first embodiment, which is installed along an indoor wall, and is constructed by storing a vacuum cleaner 2 of the required capacity in a storage box 1 of the required size and design. Ru. The storage box l has a bottom plate 11 at the bottom, and the vacuum cleaner 2 is placed on the bottom plate l1, and the door 12 that opens and closes on the front allows the vacuum cleaner 2 to be put in and taken out, the collected dust to be disposed of, etc. At the same time, the suction duct 21 of the vacuum cleaner 2 is branched into two parts, one of which is connected to the fixed duct 3 which penetrates and supports the floor plate 11, and the other is connected to the fixed duct fixed to the storage box top plate 14. connected to 4,
By operating the electric vacuum cleaner 2, suction can be drawn from the bottom and top of the storage box at the same time. In this case, since the suction force will decrease if suction is drawn from both the upper and lower places at the same time, a lid or cap is provided at the lower suction port, the upper suction port, or near the suction port of the fixed duct 3. Let it absorb. An opening/closing lid 13 is provided on the top surface of the storage box 1 adjacent to the top plate 14, and a storage chamber 16 is formed inside the closing lid 13 by an internal partition plate 15 in which parts of a vacuum cleaner, such as a crushed blue hose, a shelf, etc. are stored. air inlet, gap air inlet, floor air inlet, hammock brush,
Make it possible to store bag boxes, etc. In step 5, use the power cord of the electric vacuum cleaner to lead it out to the back of the storage box, or from the bottom or any other position. A lower suction port 3l is provided at the front of the storage box 1 and at the floor level. This lower suction port 3l is wide at the opening end side,
The hopper is shaped horizontally so that the side of the fixed duct 3 becomes narrower, the lower side of the hopper is in contact with or very close to the floor surface F, and a lid 32 which also serves as a slope plate is provided on the hopper so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, when this lid 32 is opened, the floor surface F
The fixed duct 3 is gently sloped so that cut hair, etc. on the floor can be smoothly introduced into the fixed duct 3. When the lid 32 is closed, the lower suction port 3H of the fixed duct 3 is closed, and a catch, such as a magnetic type, is provided to prevent it from opening accidentally. Further, the upper suction port 4H of the fixed duct 4 is provided with a removable cap.

Note that the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a stationary type, so this storage box can be installed at any position on the floor along the inner wall in the same way as a normal hair washing stand, etc., but it cannot be moved. Casters may be provided at the bottom of the box to make it possible. In the stationary type, hair clippings and other debris scattered on the floor are collected with a broom beforehand to the lower suction port with the lid opened, and then automatically sucked up by the vacuum cleaner's suction action. Therefore, even if casters are provided, they are not intended to be moved arbitrarily on the floor during cleaning, but are used to change the installation position. When dust is to be sucked through the upper suction port 4H, the cap of the upper suction port 4H is removed, and the lid 32 of the lower suction port 3H is closed. This produces a suction effect only at the upper suction port, and this suction port 3H is used by connecting a crush blue hose and various other suction ports. Further, the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are of a type in which the storage box or the vacuum cleaner body is moved during suction cleaning, such as hair cutting.

In FIG. 3, a movable ring and a fixed ring are provided on the lower surface of the storage box in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
Allow it to move freely on the floor. Therefore, when removing hair clippings and other debris scattered on the floor with this type, the suction port of a domestic vacuum cleaner should be moved across the floor while operating the vacuum cleaner through the lower suction port 3H. As a result, dirt, etc. on the floor will be suctioned out from the lower suction port. Figure 4. In the vacuum cleaner 2 shown in FIG. 5, casters 22, 22 are provided on the lower base 20 of the vacuum cleaner 2. In this case, the storage box 1 does not have a floor plate, and the vacuum cleaner 2 stored in the box is mounted on its own casters. It is supported by Therefore, the storage box 1 appears to be placed over the vacuum cleaner 2. A duct 21 of the vacuum cleaner 2 has a protruding direction that can be changed vertically at its base, and a suction port 23 is connected to the tip of the duct 21 when moving toward the bottom. At this time, the suction port 23 faces the floor F at a ratio of 1:1, and the gap between the front side and the floor is made larger at the lower edge of the suction port compared to the back side, and the vacuum cleaner 2 is removed from the storage box 1. When this is moved forward, cut hair, etc. on the floor surface can be easily sucked through this suction port 23. Note that 24 is provided protruding from the rear end side of the lower edge of this suction port,
This is a brush designed to sweep the floor. In addition, in this embodiment, when sucking from the upper suction port 4H, the duct 2
1 is directed upward, and another duct 25 is connected between this duct 21 and the fixed duct 4. The front opening/closing door provided on the storage box 1 may be either a single door as shown in FIG. 5 or a double door as shown in FIG. [Effects of the Invention] The invention configured as described above has the following effects.

(1> The invention described in claim 1 stores the required vacuum cleaner on the floorboard of the storage box, branches the suction duct into upper and lower parts, and has a lower suction duct with an opening/closing lid that opens at the lower front of the storage box. One is connected to the fixed duct at the top of the storage box, and the other is connected to the fixed duct at the upper suction port of the storage box, so either the upper or lower suction port can be used selectively, so it can be installed along the wall. Dust on the floor can be quickly removed by placing the vacuum cleaner and sweeping it into the lower suction port with a broom, and there is no need to provide a separate storage area for the vacuum cleaner, and the trouble of taking it out and putting it in each time it is used can be saved.

(2) In the invention as claimed in claim 2, the required electric vacuum cleaner is stored on the floor plate of the storage box which has an upper suction port formed at the top and a lower suction port formed at the front surface of the bottom, and a suction duct is provided. is divided into upper and lower sides, and one side is connected to the fixed duct of the lower suction port with an opening/closing lid that opens at the lower front of the storage box, and the other side is connected to the fixed duct of the upper suction port of the storage box. Either one can be used selectively, and movable casters are provided on the bottom of the box, so cleaning can be done easily by moving the box to the position where it has been swept with a broom.
