Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a steam generator for maintenance of carpets, and in particular to killing and sterilizing mites and mold living in carpets, and preventing their reproduction. It suppresses carpet pile, raises carpet pile, and removes organic stains attached to carpet.

Prior Art 2 Page 7 A conventional vacuum cleaner nozzle had a configuration as shown in FIG.

That is, in the nozzle body 1, the drive shaft 3 of the drive motor 2 is transmitted to the rotating brush 5 by the belt 4, and the rotation of the drive motor 2 is transmitted to the rotating brush 6, and the rotation of the rotating brush 6 is transmitted. Dust is scraped out from inside the carpet 6 by force, and at the same time, it is collected by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner body. Reference numeral 7 is a piece that is drivably attached to the nozzle body 1, and reference numeral 8 is an intake passage that communicates with the suction port 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, it is extremely difficult to collect, kill, and sterilize the mites and mold that live within the carpet 6 using only this configuration. It was difficult to remove organic dirt, and only collected inorganic dust. In addition, carpet 6 was not brushed sufficiently, and even though it was worn out, it could not be expected to recover.

3. Means for solving the vane problem and the technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to combine the vacuum cleaner nozzle with a steam generator, a water supply device for supplying water to the steam generator, and a steam generator. The structure includes a nozzle that sprays steam onto the carpet.

Function: With this configuration, steam can be generated from the vacuum cleaner nozzle and ejected into the carpet, and the heat of the steam can kill mites and mold living in the carpet. Furthermore, the moisture and heat of the steam make the pile of the carpet smooth, and by exposing the carpet to steam and raking it up with a rotating brush at the same time, more effective napping can be achieved.

It also has the effect of decomposing organic dirt adhering to the pile with the moisture and heat of the steam, making it easier to remove.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, 11 is a main body, and 12 is a hole 1 that contains a heater 13 and communicates thermally with the inside and communicates steam.
4 is a vaporization chamber that forms a first vaporization chamber 15 and a second vaporization chamber 16, and 17 is a vaporization chamber that includes the first and second vaporization chambers 15 and 16.
A temperature controller (e.g. thermostat) that sets the optimum temperature for vaporization.
18 is a steam ejection port for ejecting the steam generated in the second vaporization chamber 16, and these are collectively referred to as a steam generator.

Next, 19 is a carpet pile, 2o is a nozzle part for guiding the steam into the pile 9 and ejecting it;
1 is a steam passage of this nozzle part 2o, 22 is a skirt part provided at the tip of the steam outlet of this nozzle part 2o, and the steam passage 21 of the nozzle part 2o is It is almost an airtight room.

In addition, 23 is a water tank, and 24 is a water tank 23.
A water supply pump supplies water under pressure to the steam generator through the water distribution pipe 25, and this is called a water supply device.

The steam generator and water supply device described above are collectively referred to as a steam generator.

On the other hand, 26 is a drive motor which is interlocked with a drivable rotary brush 28 held at both ends by bearings 27 and a belt 29, and 3o is an intake passage communicating with the suction port 31, and is connected via a suction hose 32. , communicates with the vacuum cleaner body (not shown).

Next, the operation of the configuration of the embodiment will be explained.

First, by turning on the heater switch (not shown), the temperature of the first and second vaporization chambers 15 and 16 reaches a certain temperature, and when these vaporization chambers 16 and 16 reach the steam generation temperature, the temperature controller 17 is activated. , the temperature is controlled to the optimum temperature for steam generation.

At this time, the water supply pump 24 is not ready for operation.
When the water supply pump (not shown) is turned on, water in the water supply tank is supplied to the first vaporization chamber 16.

The steam generated in the first vaporization chamber 15 passes through the hole 14 and is guided to the second vaporization chamber 16, where the steam in the second vaporization chamber 166 is further heated, expands, and becomes high-pressure steam, and the steam exits the steam outlet. 18 , passes through the steam passage 21 and is ejected into the pile 19 .

Furthermore, when the drive motor 25 is driven at the same time as the steam is ejected and rotated with the rotary brush 28, the pile 19 that has been heated and absorbed by the steam is easily scraped up.
This means that it can suck up dust from deep inside.

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the steam generator 36 is detachably attached to the vacuum cleaner nozzle 36, 37 is a power outlet, and 38 is a detachable outlet. It's a nail.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, conventional vacuum cleaner nozzles were only able to remove inorganic dust from carpets, but by combining the effect of steam, the present invention removes dust mites and dust mites living in carpets. To kill mites, sterilize and remove mites by suction, and at the same time to make the pile easier to raise, so that dust deep in the pile is not suctioned, and to raise old and worn piles and restore their texture. You can also do it. Furthermore, organic dirt adhering to the pile is easily decomposed by steam, and can be removed by brushing, making it even more effective when used in combination with a carpet detergent or the like.

Further, since the above-mentioned cleaning using steam in combination is highly effective, it is not necessary to do it every day, and the conventional vacuum cleaner and steam generator can be detachably attached depending on the purpose, making it even more convenient.

As mentioned above, its practical value can be highly evaluated in terms of hygiene.
