Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce resistance to floor surfaces, allow normal and reverse rotations, and improve functions in cleaning floor surfaces, particularly, the surface of for covered with carpet, thereby preventing fatigue from being induced by providing a pair of rotational mechanisms comprising rotation wheels and drive motors thereof. CONSTITUTION:When rotation wheel drive motors 23a, 23b are controlled by a hand control unit to rotate rotation wheels 20a, 20b in the direction as indicated by arrow (a), while a grip pipe is being held by hands, a circular floor brush 10 slowly moves to the right direction, while it is being rotated about a rotary pipe in the direction of arrow A. Dust is sucked through a suction port 14 and rotary brushes 15a, 15b rotate to scrape out and suck the dust in carpet. After the lapse of certain time, the brush 10 is moved slightly to the right or left for continuous cleaning. In this case, if the motors 23a, 23b are rotated in a reverse direction by operating the hand control unit, the brush 10 rotates in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A.

2. Description of the Related Art In household work, although the work of cleaning has been reduced by the development of electric vacuum cleaners, it has become difficult to clean the floor surface by improving suction power and diversifying the floor surface to be cleaned (for example, the spread of carpets). There is great resistance to running a floor brush, and it is still a heavy labor that accompanies fatigue. Especially when cleaning a carpeted floor surface, the conventional floor brush has a weak force to suck dust and dirt inside the carpet, so use the same area to move the floor brush back and forth many times. Fatigue doubles because it has to be moved.

Therefore, various developments have been made for the purpose of reducing the running resistance and improving the operability of the electric vacuum cleaner, and an example thereof is the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-29. A floor brush of an electric vacuum cleaner according to the present invention includes a floor brush body having a suction port, a rotating brush which is supported by the floor brush body so as to be rotatable in forward and reverse directions facing the suction port, and a floor brush body provided with a rotating brush. An electric motor for a rotating brush that can rotate the brush forward and backward, a drive wheel for traveling that is rotatably supported by the floor brush main body, and a drive wheel that is provided on the floor brush main body for normal and reverse rotation. A drive wheel electric motor capable of rotating in the forward and reverse directions, and both electric motors such that when the drive wheel electric motor rotates in the normal direction, the rotating brush electric motor rotates in the normal direction and when the drive wheel electric motor rotates in the reverse direction, the rotating brush electric motor rotates in the reverse direction. It is equipped with a forward / reverse reversing switch for interlocking.

As described above, the conventional vacuum cleaner is premised on that the floor brush travels in the front-back direction of the person who operates the vacuum cleaner, and the running resistance is certainly reduced. However, you must bend your hips in a forward leaning position and move your arms back and forth to move the floor brush back and forth, and when cleaning the carpet, move the floor brush back and forth at the same location many times. I have to move it. Therefore, exercise of the muscles of the back, waist and shoulders is inevitably required, and the problem of muscle fatigue cannot be solved.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the floor brush connected to the handle is rotated by the rotating mechanism to be moved little by little for cleaning, so that the floor brush is frequently reciprocated. It is possible to sufficiently suck dust and dust without any operation, and since there is little operation resistance with the upper floor surface, it is possible to obtain an electric vacuum cleaner with less human fatigue.

Further, by providing a rotating brush which can be rotated in the normal and reverse directions by a motor, suction of dust and dust can be promoted, and further, by rotating the rotating brush in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the floor brush, the brush can sink. Trash,
Since the dust can be strongly scraped out, the cleaning ability can be further improved. Furthermore, if the rotary brush is replaced with a cylindrical chemical rag, not only can the spaces between the plates be cleaned, but also the floor can be polished. And since the movement of these floor brushes can be controlled by the hand-held operation unit provided on the grip tube, the person who is cleaning only needs to support the grip tube, and not only the room between the boards and the tatami mat, but also the carpet. You can clean the room well without getting tired.
