When the surface to be cleaned is between the plates, rotating the rotary blade 61 may damage the space between the plates by the blade portion 62, so the rotary blade 61 is not rotated. That is, the knob portion of the shutter 71
Hold the 74 along the rail 68 and the knob 74 will open.
The shutter 71 is slid to the dome portion 31 side of the suction port body 11 until it is located at one end of 67. And this shutter
Due to the movement of 71, the intake air passage is closed by the closing portion 73 of the shutter 71, and due to the suction force of the electric vacuum cleaner body, it is not sucked from the suction port 34 and is all sucked from the suction port 24.
The dust on the surface to be cleaned is sucked together with air from 24, and the dust is collected in the dust collecting chamber in the main body of the electric vacuum cleaner through the suction chamber 20, the air passage chamber 21, the communication pipe 40, the connecting pipe 51, the extension pipe, and the hose.

Further, when the surface to be cleaned is a fold, etc., the dust on the fold cannot be sufficiently sucked and removed unless the rotary blade 61 is rotated, and when the rotary blade 61 is rotated at a high speed,
Since the noise generated when the blade portion 62 comes into contact with the fold becomes large, the rotating blade 61 is rotated at a low speed. That is, holding the knob portion 74 of the shutter 71, the shutter 71 is slidably moved along the rail portion 68 so that the knob portion 74 is located at the intermediate portion of the operation opening 67. Due to the movement of the shutter 71, the intake air passage is partially closed by the closing portion 73 of the shutter 71, and the suction force of the vacuum cleaner body sucks air weakly from the suction port 34 and the suction port 24. Is also sucked from. Then, the air taken in through the intake port 34 reaches the turbine chamber 33 through the intake air passage, and the air turbine 48 rotates at a low speed due to this weak suction airflow, and the rotating blade 61 rotates at a low speed through the endless belt. Then, dust is picked up from the fold and sucked through the suction port 24.

Although a part of the suction force of the main body of the vacuum cleaner becomes intake air from the intake port 34 due to the partial opening of the intake air passage, the suction force from the intake port 24 is reduced by that amount. Since the dust is scraped off by the rotational drive of the rotary blade 61, it becomes easy to suck in, and almost no unsucked residue occurs due to a decrease in suction force.

Further, when the surface to be cleaned is a carpet or the like,
It is necessary to rotate the rotary blade 61 at a predetermined rotation speed or higher, that is, at a high speed to scrape dust adhering to the hair of the carpet that cannot be captured only by suction. In this case, hold the knob portion 74 of the shutter 71 along the rail portion 68 until the knob portion 74 is located at the other end of the operation opening 67.
Is slid to the end side of the suction port body 11. By this movement of the shutter 71, the intake air passage is fully opened, and the suction force of the electric vacuum cleaner body causes strong suction from the suction port 34 and also suction from the suction port 24. Then, the air sucked from the intake port 34 reaches the turbine chamber 33 through the intake air passage, and the suction airflow causes the air turbine 48 to rotate at high speed, and the rotating blade 61 to rotate at high speed via the endless belt. , Scrape up thread dust and hair that are entangled in carpet hair,
Inhale through the suction port 24.

Since the intake port 34 has a smaller opening area than the intake port 24, and the air turbine 48 that serves as a wind path resistance is located in the intake air channel, the intake port 24 hardly sucks in the intake port, The suction force from 24 is only reduced. Then, since the dust is scraped off by the high-speed rotation driving of the rotary blade 61, it becomes easy to suck in, and almost no unsucked residue occurs due to a decrease in suction force.

Further, when the surface to be cleaned is a carpet or the like,
If the suction force from the suction port 24 is too strong, the lower pressure of the suction port 24 causes the lower surface of the suction port body 11 to come into close contact with the carpet, so that dust cannot be sufficiently sucked in and the carpet and the suction port body 11 are not sucked. Although the frictional resistance with the lower surface of the vacuum cleaner increases and the traveling performance deteriorates, a part of the suction force of the vacuum cleaner body is used for the rotation of the rotating blade 61 and the suction force from the suction port 24 decreases, so it is sufficient. The dust scraped off can be sucked in, the traveling performance can be prevented from being deteriorated, and the cleaning workability can be improved.
