In addition, the rib 1340 provided between the first bottom portion 1310 and the second bottom portion 1320 also corresponds to the curved shape of the first bottom portion 1310 and the second bottom portion 1320. (1340) It is curved inclined upward in the opposite direction of the surface to be cleaned toward both ends from the center of the lower surface. Therefore, during cleaning, the suction nozzle 10 can smoothly move back and forth and left and right with respect to the surface to be cleaned.

10 is a state diagram showing the operation of the cover plate according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 10 and when the suction nozzle according to another embodiment of the present invention is used for the surface to be cleaned, such as a carpet will be described in detail the process of sucking air containing dust and foreign matter.

The user may use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and foreign substances present on the surface of the carpet or the like. In this case, the bottom surface of the suction nozzle 10 of the vacuum cleaner is positioned to face the surface to be cleaned such as a carpet.

Then, the bottom surface of the suction nozzle 10 is brought into contact with the surface to be cleaned to move the suction nozzle 10 forward, backward, left and right. In this case, when the surface to be cleaned is a carpet or the like, a thin hair generally exists on the surface, so that the rear end of the bottom surface of the first bottom portion 1310, which is the point at which the locking jaw 1360 is formed, The front end portion is pressed by the load of the suction nozzle 10 to the hair of the carpet in contact with it.

On the other hand, since the lower surface of the rib 1340 is spaced apart from the surface to be cleaned by the height difference of the locking step 1360, the shape of the carpet located on the lower surface of the rib 1340 does not change.

Therefore, when the suction nozzle 10 moves back and forth, the hair of the carpet located on the lower surface of the rib 1340 is caught by the catching jaw 1360, and the fine dust and foreign matter present therebetween are separated and the inside of the suction nozzle 10 is separated. Suction, the suction nozzle 10 is pressed to the hair with the dust and foreign matter separated on the locking step (1360).

Therefore, even when cleaning a large number of hairs to be cleaned, such as carpet, the suction nozzle 10 provided with the cover plate 1300 according to another embodiment of the present invention is a communication hole for air containing dust and foreign matter It can be smoothly introduced through the 330, thereby maximizing the cleaning performance.

Although embodiments according to the present invention have been described above, these are merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments of the present invention are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
