Description

用於吸塵器或吸塵機器人的刷頭Brush heads for vacuum cleaners or robots

本發明涉及用於吸塵器或吸塵機器人的刷頭,尤其用來清潔不同類型的地面,例如地毯地面或硬地面,刷頭具有用於界定出抽吸腔(用於吸入空氣和髒物顆粒)的殼體和可回轉地設於抽吸腔中的刷體(用於接收髒物顆粒),其中,在該殼體上設有至少一個用於安放在地面的支承件。The invention relates to a brush head for a vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaning robot, in particular for cleaning different types of floors, such as a carpet floor or a hard floor. A housing and a brush body (for receiving dirt particles) rotatably provided in the suction cavity, wherein at least one support member for placing on the ground is provided on the housing.

用於吸塵器及/或吸塵機器人的地面清潔用刷頭是已知的,其設計用於一定類型的地面。被用於地毯地面的刷頭必須良好地支承地毯地面或簡稱地毯、尤其是散放的地毯,以使地毯不被吸入帶有負壓的抽吸腔。為此,已知刷頭具有殼體,其下殼體邊緣即所謂的橇板緊貼地毯。但這樣的刷頭有以下缺點,下殼體邊緣(即橇板)幾乎完全朝向地毯密封該抽吸腔,從而粗大物即大的髒物顆粒無法經下殼體邊緣進入抽吸腔。清潔效果由此可能減弱。另外,缺點還在於,這種緊貼地毯的殼體邊緣固定於殼體上,因而僅適合某些地毯類型。雖然人們也可以用這種刷頭在其它地面,例如硬地面上工作,但地面可能因抽吸物在處於低位的殼體邊緣下方卡住而受損。Brush heads for floor cleaning for vacuum cleaners and / or robots are known and are designed for use on certain types of floors. The brush head used for the carpet floor must well support the carpet floor or simply the carpet, especially the scattered carpet, so that the carpet is not sucked into the suction chamber with negative pressure. For this purpose, it is known that the brush head has a housing whose lower housing edge, the so-called skid plate, abuts the carpet. However, such a brush head has the following disadvantages: the edge of the lower casing (ie, the skid plate) seals the suction cavity almost completely toward the carpet, so that coarse objects, ie large dirt particles, cannot enter the suction cavity through the edge of the lower casing. The cleaning effect may be weakened as a result. In addition, the disadvantage is that the edge of the shell that is close to the carpet is fixed to the shell, so it is only suitable for certain carpet types. Although people can also use this brush head to work on other floors, such as hard floors, the floor may be damaged due to the suction substance stuck under the edge of the housing in a low position.

因此,本發明的目的是提供一種用於吸塵器或吸塵機器人的刷頭,其結構簡單,且允許更好地接收來自不同類型地面的大小不同的灰塵和髒物顆粒。Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a brush head for a vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaning robot, which has a simple structure and allows better reception of dust and dirt particles of different sizes from different types of ground.

為了達成前述目的,提出一種具有獨立申請專利範圍特徵,尤其是特徵部分特徵的刷頭。本發明的其它有利設計來自附屬申請專利範圍、說明書和附圖。In order to achieve the foregoing object, a brush head having the features of the scope of an independent patent application, especially the features of the features, is proposed. Other advantageous designs of the present invention come from the scope of the attached patent application, the description and the drawings.

根據本發明,刷頭可以是指吸塵器或吸塵機器人的吸嘴或附件。According to the present invention, the brush head may refer to a suction nozzle or an attachment of a vacuum cleaner or a vacuum robot.

本發明規定,該支承件沿該抽吸腔延伸且與下殼體邊緣間隔設置,從而在該支承件與下殼體邊緣之間形成一間隙,空氣和髒物顆粒能夠穿過間隙經該支承件被送入該抽吸腔。此時,本發明支承件在整個長度上或至少局部在豎直方向及/或水平方向上距下殼體邊緣有一段距離。According to the invention, the support member extends along the suction cavity and is disposed at a distance from the edge of the lower casing, so that a gap is formed between the support member and the edge of the lower casing, and air and dirt particles can pass through the gap and pass through the support. The pieces are fed into the suction chamber. At this time, the support member of the present invention is at a distance from the edge of the lower casing over the entire length or at least partially in the vertical direction and / or horizontal direction.

在此,本發明構想在於,刷頭在地面上的支承並非借助於下殼體邊緣或殼體橇板或密封件來提供,而是借助於至少一個特殊構成的支承件來提供,該支承件相對於至少一個下殼體邊緣(尤其是前下殼體邊緣)形成一間隙,大小不同的髒物顆粒且尤其是大的髒物顆粒即所謂的粗大物例如碎屑和小石子可通過該間隙進入抽吸腔。換言之,借助支承件提供一種開放系統,從而藉由朝向抽吸腔驅使粗大物經過該支承件,使得位於地面例如地毯地面上的粗大物可以經過前下殼體邊緣。支承件可以針對不同類型地面在垂直及/或水平方向上被調節至合適的距離,以獲得改善且柔和的清潔效果。該支承件最好完成甚至針對散放地毯的支承功能。另外,針對具有高矮、粗細和疏密不同的纖維的地毯,該支承件可以在豎直方向及/或水平方向上被調整。該支承件優選可以並行於抽吸腔取向且沿整個抽吸腔延伸。因此,對於地毯地面,可以提供沿整個抽吸腔的安放面,其能可靠防止地毯被吸入抽吸腔。The invention conceives here that the support of the brush head on the ground is not provided by means of the lower housing edge or housing skids or seals, but by means of at least one specially constructed support, which A gap is formed with respect to at least one lower housing edge (especially the front lower housing edge), dirt particles of different sizes and especially large dirt particles, so-called coarse objects such as debris and small stones, can pass through the gap Into the aspiration chamber. In other words, an open system is provided by means of the support, so that coarse objects are driven through the support by being directed towards the suction cavity, so that coarse objects on the floor, such as the carpet floor, can pass through the front lower housing edge. The support can be adjusted to a suitable distance in the vertical and / or horizontal direction for different types of floors to obtain an improved and gentle cleaning effect. The support preferably performs a supporting function even against a scattered carpet. In addition, the support can be adjusted in the vertical and / or horizontal direction for carpets having different height, thickness, and density of fibers. The support can preferably be oriented parallel to the suction cavity and extend along the entire suction cavity. Therefore, for the carpet floor, a seating surface can be provided along the entire suction cavity, which can reliably prevent the carpet from being sucked into the suction cavity.

在本發明意義上,下殼體邊緣可以是指在前行方向上看在底側且橫向於前行方向取向的殼體邊緣。尤其是,本發明意義上的下殼體邊緣可以是指這樣的殼體邊緣,其向下朝向地面封閉該抽吸腔且至少部分限定出所謂的吸入口,刷體可藉由吸入口接觸到地面。本發明意義上的前下殼體邊緣可以是指這樣的下殼體邊緣,其在前行方向上看設於刷體前。另外,本發明意義上的後下殼體邊緣可以是指這樣的下殼體邊緣,其在前行方向上看設於刷體後。In the sense of the present invention, the edge of the lower casing may refer to the edge of the casing that is viewed on the bottom side in the forward direction and is oriented transversely to the forward direction. In particular, the edge of the lower casing in the sense of the present invention may refer to the edge of the casing, which closes the suction chamber downwardly toward the ground and at least partially defines a so-called suction port, and the brush body can be contacted by the suction port ground. The edge of the front lower casing in the sense of the present invention may refer to the edge of the lower casing, which is located in front of the brush body in the forward direction. In addition, the edge of the rear lower case in the sense of the present invention may refer to the edge of the lower case, which is disposed behind the brush body when viewed in the forward direction.

還可以在本發明範圍內規定,在前行方向上看,第一支承件可設置在刷體前且/或第二支承件可設置在刷體後。由此可以獲得以下優點:地毯可以在刷體之前和之後被支承,並且粗大物可以從兩側即從前行方向和從回行方向上被吸入抽吸腔。還有利的是,借助第一支承件和第二支承件,可以在前行方向和回行方向上調節出單獨的間隙。由此可以擴展刷頭的功能性。It may also be provided within the scope of the present invention that, when viewed in the forward direction, the first support member may be disposed in front of the brush body and / or the second support member may be disposed behind the brush body. The following advantages can be obtained: the carpet can be supported before and after the brush body, and coarse objects can be drawn into the suction chamber from both sides, from the forward direction and from the return direction. It is also advantageous that, with the first support and the second support, separate gaps can be adjusted in the forward direction and the return direction. As a result, the functionality of the brush head can be extended.

另外,本發明可以在下殼體邊緣上設置至少一個例如彈性的密封件用於在抽吸腔區域中密封該殼體。此時可能有利的是,可以藉由密封件在抽吸腔內建立足夠的負壓,以便雖然在支承件與殼體邊緣之間有間隙但仍獲得足以用於抽吸作用的負壓。由彈性材料構成的密封件此時可以位於地毯纖維上方,沒有完全密封抽吸腔,從而髒物顆粒可以從纖維之間的間隙被吸入抽吸腔。此時可以想到,該密封件可以朝向地面側向封閉這個或這些殼體邊緣,並且能界定該抽吸腔的敞通區域。In addition, the present invention may provide at least one, for example, an elastic seal, on the edge of the lower casing for sealing the casing in the region of the suction chamber. It may be advantageous at this time that a sufficient negative pressure can be established in the suction chamber by means of the seal in order to obtain a sufficient negative pressure for the suction effect despite the gap between the support and the edge of the housing. The seal made of an elastic material can now be located above the carpet fibers without completely sealing the suction cavity, so dirt particles can be drawn into the suction cavity from the gap between the fibers. It is conceivable at this time that the seal can close the edge of the housing or the housing laterally towards the ground and can define the open area of the suction chamber.

此外可以在本發明範圍內規定,該支承件至少在局部可以如下與該密封件間隔設置:可以在支承件與密封件的下邊緣或底側邊緣之間形成另一間隙,空氣和髒物顆粒可以穿過該另一間隙經過支承件被送入或吸入抽吸腔。此時,在向內朝向抽吸腔的方向上觀察,支承件可以分別設置在相應密封件之前。因此可以有利地做到:髒物顆粒可以從在各密封件與相應支承件之間的區域經該支承件被吸入抽吸腔。In addition, it can be provided within the scope of the present invention that the support can be spaced from the seal at least partially as follows: another gap can be formed between the support and the lower or bottom edge of the seal, air and dirt particles It can be fed into or sucked into the suction chamber through the support through this other gap. At this time, as viewed in a direction inward toward the suction chamber, the support members may be respectively disposed in front of the corresponding seals. It can thus be advantageously achieved that dirt particles can be sucked into the suction chamber from the region between the respective seal and the corresponding support via the support.

該支承件可以有利地基本上呈直桿狀構成。在此,該桿沿尤其整個抽吸腔延伸。該桿能以例如鍍鉻圓鋼構成。這樣的支承件是有利的,因為它比較輕但穩固。這樣的支承件可以有利地製造且不太費事地安裝。甚至可以給常見的刷頭配備這樣的桿狀支承件。還可以有利地規定,該支承件可以由金屬例如鋼或鋁或者塑膠例如纖維加強塑膠或者陶瓷材料製造,及/或可以具有例如由鉻構成的光滑塗層。The support can advantageously be formed substantially straight. In this case, the rod extends along the entire suction chamber. The rod can be made of, for example, chrome-plated round steel. Such a support is advantageous because it is relatively light but robust. Such a support can be advantageously manufactured and installed with less effort. It is even possible to equip common brush heads with such rod-shaped supports. It may also be advantageous to provide that the support can be manufactured from a metal, such as steel or aluminum, or a plastic, such as a fiber-reinforced plastic, or a ceramic material, and / or can have a smooth coating made of, for example, chromium.

還可能的是,該支承件能夠以可轉動的方式構成。因此,該支承件可以在地面上滾動或藉由驅動單元被主動驅動轉動。這樣可轉動的支承件可以柔和地處理地面,尤其是不僅處理硬地面,還有地毯地面。It is also possible that the support can be constructed in a rotatable manner. Therefore, the support can roll on the ground or be actively driven to rotate by a drive unit. This rotatable support can gently handle floors, especially not only hard floors but also carpet floors.

另外可以在本發明範圍內規定,在支承件的端側,可在殼體上設有至少兩個用於支承件的支承部位。因此,可以提供該支承件在殼體上的懸掛件,其可在支承件的側旁實現。In addition, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that at least two support points for the support can be provided on the housing on the end side of the support. Thus, it is possible to provide a suspension of the support on the housing, which can be realized beside the support.

另外,這些支承部位能以通孔或導軌形式形成在殼體上。呈通孔形式的支承部位可以有利地不太費事地甚至形成在常見的刷頭上。也由此簡化了支承件懸掛在殼體上,在這裡,例如呈桿狀的支承件可以設置在該通孔內。還有利的是,該支承件能可轉動地安裝在該通孔內。因此,該支承件可以在地面上滾動,這可以改善刷頭在地面上的易操縱性和引導。另一方面可以想到該支承件能藉由驅動單元被主動驅動,以便自動執行刷頭引導。呈例如可以在內側形成在殼體上的導軌狀的支承部位是有利的,因為它們允許支承件在豎直方向上及/或在水平方向上的調整移動。因此,在支承件與相應殼體邊緣之間的間隙能被可變調節,以使該間隙適應某種地面。此時可以想到,該導軌能允許該支承件在豎直方向上調整移動,以改變支承件的深度或者說在各支承件與相應下殼體邊緣之間的間隙大小。還可以想到,該導軌可以允許該支承件在水平方向上的調整移動,以便間接影響刷體例如侵入地毯地面的侵入深度。可以有利地在該支承部位上設置尤其是彈性的密封如轉動密封,以便在支承部位區域密封該殼體。In addition, these support portions can be formed on the housing in the form of through holes or guide rails. The support points in the form of through holes can advantageously be formed even less frequently on conventional brush heads. This also simplifies the suspension of the support from the housing, in which case, for example, a rod-shaped support can be arranged in the through hole. It is also advantageous that the support member can be rotatably mounted in the through hole. Therefore, the support can roll on the ground, which can improve the maneuverability and guidance of the brush head on the ground. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the support can be actively driven by the driving unit in order to automatically perform brush head guidance. Rail-shaped support points, which can be formed on the housing on the inside, for example, are advantageous because they allow adjustment movement of the support in the vertical and / or horizontal direction. Therefore, the gap between the support and the corresponding housing edge can be variably adjusted to adapt the gap to some kind of floor. At this time, it is conceivable that the guide rail can allow the support member to be adjusted and moved in the vertical direction to change the depth of the support member or the size of the gap between each support member and the corresponding lower housing edge. It is also conceivable that the guide rail may allow the support member to be adjusted and moved in a horizontal direction so as to indirectly affect the penetration depth of the brush body, for example, into the carpet floor. Advantageously, an especially elastic seal, such as a rotary seal, can be provided on the support point in order to seal the housing in the region of the support point.

還可以想到,在殼體頂側例如在抽吸腔的中心可設置至少一個用於支承件的懸掛件。懸掛件可以賦予支承件以穩定性且穩固支承該支承件。因此可以獲得沿長形抽吸腔的更好的支承效果。It is also conceivable that at least one suspension for the support can be provided on the top side of the housing, for example in the center of the suction chamber. The suspension can give the support a stable and stable support for the support. A better support effect can thus be obtained along the elongated suction cavity.

此外可以在本發明範圍內規定,該支承件的橫截面可以具有朝向地面倒圓的形狀。由此可以保證該支承件能柔和地安放在地面上。支承件的倒圓形狀也可以允許支承件在地面上的柔和滑動及/或滾動。Furthermore, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the cross section of the support element can have a rounded shape towards the ground. This ensures that the support can be placed gently on the ground. The rounded shape of the support may also allow for gentle sliding and / or rolling of the support on the ground.

此時還可以想到,該支承件的橫截面可以被設計成分別具有倒圓邊角的半圓形、透鏡形、四角形或三角形或套筒形。橫截面呈半圓形的支承件相比於具有圓形橫截面的支承件需要較少材料。半圓形可以在地面上被滑動引導。作為支承件橫截面形狀的透鏡形也是可想到的,以減少支承件製造用材料。呈三角形或四角形(均具有倒角)的支承件可以幫助提供在地面上的寬闊支承面。另外,可以想到呈管狀的支承件以減少支承件製造用材料。另外在本發明範圍內可以想到,可以提供一組不同的可更換的帶有刷頭的支承件,其可被專門用於各種地面。At this time, it is also conceivable that the cross section of the support member can be designed as a semicircle, a lens shape, a quadrangular shape, or a triangle or sleeve shape with rounded corners, respectively. A support with a semi-circular cross section requires less material than a support with a circular cross section. The semi-circle can be slid on the ground. A lens shape as a cross-sectional shape of the support member is also conceivable to reduce the material for manufacturing the support member. Supports that are triangular or quadrangular (both with chamfers) can help provide a wide bearing surface on the ground. In addition, a tubular support is conceivable to reduce the material for manufacturing the support. It is also conceivable within the scope of the present invention to provide a different set of replaceable supports with brush heads, which can be used exclusively for various floors.

另外可以在本發明範圍內想到,該支承件可以沿其縱軸線在豎直平面中及/或在水平平面中具有週期性形狀。因此,可以根據抽吸腔長度在地面上提供多個支承點。在地毯地面情況下,地毯纖維可以被徹底梳理。此外,不同大小的髒物顆粒可以有利地在該支承件的不同高度部位滑下並進入抽吸腔。藉由適當選擇週期性形狀,該支承件可以適配於一定纖維類型或纖維尺寸。另外可以想到,該支承件可以沿縱軸線具有波浪形狀或蜿蜒形狀或螺旋線形狀。根據支承件長度的波浪形狀或正弦形狀可能對柔軟類地毯是有利的,以柔和地處理柔軟及/或精細的地毯纖維。蜿蜒形狀可能對硬質地毯是有利的,以徹底梳理纖維。在關於地面的豎直方向平面內的週期性形狀有利地產生梳理效果。此外,在豎直方向平面中的週期性形狀還可以繞支承件縱軸線在前行方向上旋轉,從而在水平平面中也提供週期性形狀。這種「旋轉」的週期性形狀對於在高低不同的支承件部位上的髒物顆粒滑落是有利的。It is also conceivable within the scope of the invention that the support can have a periodic shape in its vertical plane and / or in its horizontal plane along its longitudinal axis. Therefore, multiple support points can be provided on the ground depending on the length of the suction cavity. In the case of carpet flooring, the carpet fibers can be thoroughly combed. In addition, dirt particles of different sizes can advantageously slide down at different heights of the support and enter the suction chamber. By appropriately selecting the periodic shape, the support can be adapted to a certain fiber type or fiber size. It is also conceivable that the support may have a wavy or meandering or spiral shape along the longitudinal axis. A wavy or sinusoidal shape depending on the length of the support may be advantageous for soft carpets to gently handle soft and / or fine carpet fibers. The meandering shape may be beneficial for rigid carpets to thoroughly comb the fibers. The periodic shape in a vertical plane about the ground advantageously produces a carding effect. In addition, the periodic shape in the vertical plane can also be rotated in the forward direction about the longitudinal axis of the support, so that the periodic shape is also provided in the horizontal plane. This "rotating" periodic shape is advantageous for the dirt particles on the support parts of different heights to slide off.

還可以想到,該支承件可以相對於地面有至少一個支承點,其可以在前行方向上看位於其縱軸線前面。換言之,支承件可以繞其縱軸線在前行方向上轉動,例如轉動45°。因此,因為例如地毯纖維過高及/或支承件過粗而在局部無法在支承件與地毯之間或者無法經由支承件進入抽吸腔的吸入物在支承件上側向滑落並進入抽吸腔。It is also conceivable that the support can have at least one support point relative to the ground, which can be located in front of its longitudinal axis when viewed in the forward direction. In other words, the support can be turned about its longitudinal axis in the forward direction, for example by 45 °. Therefore, because, for example, the carpet fibers are too high and / or the support is too thick, the inhaled material, which cannot be partially between the support and the carpet or cannot enter the suction chamber via the support, slides laterally on the support and enters the suction chamber.

另外可以在本發明範圍內規定,該支承件可以被設計成是可升降調節的。因此,支承件的深度或者支承件與相應殼體邊緣之間的間隙大小可以被調節。因此,刷頭可以被靈活用於不同類型地面,其中就有具纖維有高矮不同的地毯類型,甚至是用於硬地面。在硬地面情況下,支承件可以被向上移入抽吸腔,以便完全不接觸到硬地面。根據在特定刷頭中的結構空間規格,可能有利的是:充分利用豎直平面內的結構空間來調整移動該支承件。還可以想到,在有多個支承件的情況下,它們可以被相互同步地及/或單獨地驅動。當多個支承件被同步控制時,為此可以只設置一個驅動單元。另外,由此可以簡化用於各支承件的調整機構。當這些支承件被單獨驅動時,雖然需要多個驅動單元,但以比只有一個驅動單元時更低的功率工作。也可以由此改善刷頭的功能性。另外可以由此允許該刷頭從一種地面順利轉移至另一種地面。為此,前支承件可以在前行方向上觀察已經針對另一地面類型得到控制,而後支承件還可針對第一地面類型來設定。In addition, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the support can be designed to be adjustable in a lifting manner. Therefore, the depth of the support or the size of the gap between the support and the corresponding housing edge can be adjusted. Therefore, the brush head can be flexibly used in different types of floors, among which there are different types of carpets with fiber and height, even for hard floors. In the case of hard floors, the support can be moved up into the suction chamber so as not to touch the hard floors at all. Depending on the size of the installation space in a particular brush head, it may be advantageous to make full use of the installation space in the vertical plane to adjust and move the support. It is also conceivable that in the case of a plurality of supports, they can be driven synchronously and / or separately from one another. When multiple supports are controlled synchronously, only one drive unit can be provided for this purpose. In addition, the adjustment mechanism for each support can be simplified by this. When these supports are driven individually, although multiple drive units are required, they operate at a lower power than when there is only one drive unit. This also improves the functionality of the brush head. In addition, this allows the brush head to be smoothly transferred from one floor to another. For this reason, the front support can be viewed in the forward direction and has been controlled for another ground type, and the rear support can also be set for the first ground type.

此外可以在本發明範圍內規定,該支承件可以被設計成在前行方向上看可向前調整及/或向後調整。由此可以影響在支承件與下殼體邊緣之間間隙的大小以及在支承件與密封件下邊緣之間另一間隙的大小。此外可以由此影響刷體例如侵入地毯地面尤其在單獨纖維之間的侵入深度。根據在特定刷頭中的結構空間規格而可能有利的是,充分利用水平平面內的結構空間用於支承件的調整移動。另外此時可以想到,在多個支承件的情況下可以彼此同步地及/或單獨地驅動它們。Furthermore, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the support can be designed to be adjustable forward and / or backward when viewed in the forward direction. This can affect the size of the gap between the support and the edge of the lower housing and the size of another gap between the support and the lower edge of the seal. In addition, the penetration depth of the brush body, for example, into the carpet floor, especially between the individual fibers, can be influenced as a result. Depending on the size of the installation space in a particular brush head, it may be advantageous to make full use of the installation space in the horizontal plane for the adjustment movement of the support. In addition, it is conceivable that in the case of a plurality of supports, they can be driven synchronously and / or individually.

還可以想到的是,在該支承件上可以設置至少一個支承輪,尤其是多個支承輪。此時有利的是,該支承件可以藉由支承輪在地面上滾動。因此,刷頭可以柔和地在地面上導向移動。還可以想到,至少一個支承輪可與該一個或多個支承輪無關地在刷體之前及/或之後設置在支承件上。因此,刷頭的操控性可得以簡化。另外,藉由該至少一個支承輪,可以調節出該殼體邊緣距地面的規定距離,以便提供用於大髒物顆粒的間隙。It is also conceivable that at least one support wheel, in particular a plurality of support wheels, may be provided on the support. It is advantageous here that the support can roll on the ground by means of a support wheel. Therefore, the brush head can be gently guided and moved on the ground. It is also conceivable that the at least one support wheel can be arranged on the support before and / or after the brush body independently of the one or more support wheels. Therefore, the handleability of the brush head can be simplified. In addition, with the at least one supporting wheel, a predetermined distance from the edge of the casing to the ground can be adjusted so as to provide a gap for large dirt particles.

還可以在本發明範圍內規定,可以設有至少一個調整機構用於在至少一個轉動方向上可轉動地及/或在豎直方向上直線地及/或在水平方向上直線地驅動該支承件。因此,該支承件可以被靈活調節以便用於不同類型地面及/或能執行不同的清潔措施。此時可以想到該調整機構在支承件的端側或中心被固定在殼體上。因此,可以充分利用沿抽吸腔的結構空間。還可以想到該調整機構能與用於刷體的驅動單元有效連接。因此,可以借助同一個驅動單元不僅控制該刷體,也控制該支承件。這減少了附加構件並簡化了刷頭。It may also be provided within the scope of the invention that at least one adjusting mechanism may be provided for driving the support rotatably and / or vertically in a vertical direction and / or linearly in a horizontal direction in at least one direction of rotation. . Therefore, the support can be flexibly adjusted for different types of floors and / or can perform different cleaning measures. At this time, it is conceivable that the adjustment mechanism is fixed to the housing at the end side or center of the support. Therefore, it is possible to make full use of the structural space along the suction cavity. It is also conceivable that the adjustment mechanism can be effectively connected with the driving unit for the brush body. Therefore, it is possible to control not only the brush body but also the support member by the same driving unit. This reduces additional components and simplifies the brush head.

另外可以在本發明範圍內設置探測單元,用於檢測地面類型並根據地面類型來自動控制該支承件。因此該刷頭的操縱性能可得到改善並且可以減輕使用者的負擔。In addition, a detection unit may be provided within the scope of the present invention for detecting the type of ground and automatically controlling the support member according to the type of ground. Therefore, the operation performance of the brush head can be improved and the burden on the user can be reduced.

在以下的圖中,對於即便是不同實施例的相同技術特徵也採用相同的附圖標記。In the following figures, the same reference numerals are used for the same technical features of different embodiments.

圖1示出常見的刷頭1,其設計用於地毯地面100或簡稱地毯100。刷頭1被橫剖示出且具有殼體10,在殼體內形成用於吸入空氣及/或髒物顆粒的抽吸腔11。在吸入口11.1區域中,殼體10在刷頭1的前行方向A上看藉由堅硬的下殼體邊緣10.1(即所謂橇板)在回轉的刷體12前並藉由堅硬的下殼體邊緣10.2(或者說橇板)在回轉的刷體12後支承在地毯地面100上,以便地毯地面100不被吸入抽吸腔11且沒有減速或甚至鎖死刷體12。抽吸腔11利用這種緊密貼靠地毯100的堅硬殼體邊緣10.1、10.2被幾乎完全密封。但這樣的刷頭1有以下缺點:它不讓粗大物(較大髒物顆粒)從不直接位於吸入口11.1下方的區域進入抽吸腔11。還不利的是,這樣的刷頭1僅針對特定類型的地毯而設計。另外,這樣的刷頭1無法被用於硬地面100,因為吸入物可能卡死在處於低位的殼體邊緣10.1、10.2下方且被拖行,這可能損傷硬地面100。FIG. 1 shows a common brush head 1 which is designed for a carpet floor 100 or simply a carpet 100. The brush head 1 is shown in cross section and has a housing 10 in which a suction chamber 11 is formed for sucking air and / or dirt particles. In the area of the suction port 11.1, the casing 10 is viewed in the forward direction A of the brush head 1 by the rigid lower casing edge 10.1 (the so-called skid plate) in front of the rotating brush body 12 and by the rigid lower casing The body edge 10.2 (or skid plate) is supported on the carpet floor 100 after the rotating brush body 12, so that the carpet floor 100 is not sucked into the suction cavity 11 and does not slow down or even lock the brush body 12. The suction chamber 11 is almost completely sealed with such a hard shell edge 10.1, 10.2 which is in close contact with the carpet 100. However, such a brush head 1 has the following disadvantages: it does not allow coarse objects (larger dirt particles) to enter the suction chamber 11 from areas not directly below the suction opening 11.1. It is also disadvantageous that such a brush head 1 is only designed for a specific type of carpet. In addition, such a brush head 1 cannot be used on the hard floor 100 because the inhaled material may be stuck and dragged below the lower edge 10.1, 10.2 of the housing, which may damage the hard floor 100.

圖2和圖3先以橫剖視圖且隨後以仰視圖顯示出根據本發明的用於吸塵器或吸塵機器人的刷頭1。本發明的刷頭1有利地適合用於不同類型的地面,即不僅適用於地毯纖維高矮和疏密不同的地毯地面100,也適用於硬地面100例如拼花地板、複合地板或地磚地面。刷頭1具有殼體10,在殼體內形成用於吸入空氣及/或髒物顆粒的抽吸腔11。抽吸腔11具有橫向於刷頭1的前行方向A的長條形延伸部。抽吸腔11具有向下朝向地面100的開口11.1即所謂的吸入口11.1,刷體12可以借此接觸到地毯地面100以便將髒物顆粒從地毯地面100提起或帶走。刷體12按照在轉動方向D上轉動的方式容納在抽吸腔11中。經吸入口11.1被吸入抽吸腔11的空氣及/或髒物顆粒經抽吸通道K被送走。2 and 3 show a brush head 1 for a vacuum cleaner or a vacuum cleaning robot according to the invention in a cross-sectional view and then in a bottom view. The brush head 1 of the present invention is advantageously suitable for different types of floors, that is, not only suitable for carpet floors 100 having different heights and denseness of carpet fibers, but also hard floors 100 such as parquet floors, composite floors or floor tiles. The brush head 1 has a housing 10, and a suction chamber 11 for sucking air and / or dirt particles is formed in the housing. The suction chamber 11 has an elongated extending portion transverse to the forward direction A of the brush head 1. The suction chamber 11 has an opening 11.1 facing down to the floor 100, a so-called suction port 11.1, through which the brush body 12 can contact the carpet floor 100 to lift or remove dirt particles from the carpet floor 100. The brush body 12 is accommodated in the suction chamber 11 so as to rotate in the rotation direction D. The air and / or dirt particles sucked into the suction chamber 11 through the suction port 11.1 are sent through the suction channel K.

在前下殼體邊緣10.1下方優選設有第一支承件13.1,在後下殼體邊緣10.2下方設有第二支承件13.2。支承件13.1、13.2用於支承在地面100例如地毯地面100上。支承件13.1、13.2並行於抽吸腔11且沿吸腔11的整個長度延伸,如圖3至圖10所示。因此地毯地面100可借助支承件13.1、13.2沿整個抽吸腔11被壓迫,使得地毯100無法被抬起且無法被吸入抽吸腔11。A first support member 13.1 is preferably provided below the front lower housing edge 10.1, and a second support member 13.2 is provided below the rear lower housing edge 10.2. The supports 13.1, 13.2 are intended to be supported on a floor 100, such as a carpet floor 100. The supports 13.1, 13.2 are parallel to the suction cavity 11 and extend along the entire length of the suction cavity 11, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 10. Therefore, the carpet floor 100 can be compressed along the entire suction cavity 11 by means of the supports 13.1, 13.2, so that the carpet 100 cannot be lifted and cannot be sucked into the suction cavity 11.

如圖2所示,在各支承件13.1、13.2和殼體10的對應下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2之間分別形成一間隙S1,不同大小的髒物顆粒且甚至粗大物可以穿過該間隙經支承件13.1、13.2進入抽吸腔11,如箭頭E所示。間隙S1此時意味著各支承件13.1、13.2與各下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2間隔設置,且其間的空間朝向抽吸腔(11)敞通。此時,支承件13.1、13.2可以距相應下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2既具有豎直方向上的距離h1、h2,也具有水平方向上的距離a1、a2。藉由在刷體12之前的第一支承件13.1並藉由在刷體12之後的第二支承件13.2,地毯100可以在刷體12之前和之後被可靠支承或者說壓迫。在此,可以同時將粗大物從抽吸腔11的兩個縱向側經由不僅在第一支承件13.1和第一殼體邊緣10.1之間,也在第二支承件13.2和第二殼體邊緣10.2之間的相應間隙S1吸入抽吸腔11。對於纖維狀的地毯地面100,本發明是有利的,因為藉由各間隙S1可以將較大的,甚至在地毯纖維之間卡死的髒物顆粒不僅從正好在抽吸腔11下方的區域,也從地毯地面100上的相鄰區域吸入,如箭頭E所示。因此,抽吸效果可以藉由本發明的刷頭1得到顯著改善。As shown in FIG. 2, a gap S1 is formed between each support member 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding lower casing edge 10.1, 10.2 of the casing 10, and dirt particles of different sizes and even coarse objects can pass through the gap. The supports 13.1, 13.2 enter the suction chamber 11, as shown by arrow E. The gap S1 at this time means that each support member 13.1, 13.2 is spaced from each lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2, and the space therebetween is open toward the suction chamber (11). At this time, the support members 13.1, 13.2 may have distances h1, h2 in the vertical direction and distances a1, a2 in the horizontal direction from the respective lower casing edges 10.1, 10.2. With the first support member 13.1 before the brush body 12 and the second support member 13.2 after the brush body 12, the carpet 100 can be reliably supported or pressed before and after the brush body 12. In this case, coarse objects can be passed simultaneously from both longitudinal sides of the suction chamber 11 not only between the first support piece 13.1 and the first housing edge 10.1, but also between the second support piece 13.2 and the second housing edge 10.2. The corresponding gap S1 is drawn into the suction chamber 11. For a fibrous carpet floor 100, the present invention is advantageous because, with each of the gaps S1, larger dirt particles that are stuck between the carpet fibers can be removed not only from the area just below the suction cavity 11, It is also sucked in from adjacent areas on the carpet floor 100, as shown by arrow E. Therefore, the suction effect can be significantly improved by the brush head 1 of the present invention.

此外,圖2和圖3以及以下的圖6和圖7顯示出可以可選地在外側在殼體10上且沿各支承件13.1、13.2分別設有例如呈密封唇17.1、17.2形式的面狀密封件17.1、17.2,以支持抽吸腔11內的抽吸作用。密封件17.1、17.2可以在一定程度上延長下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2直至地面100,因此界定抽吸腔11朝向地面100的敞通區域。在各支承件13.1、13.2和殼體10的相應下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2之間的間隙S1此時設置在抽吸腔11的區域內。密封件17.1、17.2此時可以由彈性材料製成並且安放在地毯纖維上方,沒有完全密封抽吸腔11。因此,甚至可以將較大的及/或夾住的髒物顆粒從地毯纖維之間的空隙吸入抽吸腔11。In addition, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 and the following FIGS. 6 and 7 show that a surface shape, for example, in the form of a sealing lip 17.1, 17.2 can be optionally provided on the housing 10 on the outside and along the respective support members 13.1, 13.2 The seals 17.1 and 17.2 support the suction effect in the suction chamber 11. The seals 17.1 and 17.2 can extend the lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2 to the ground 100 to a certain extent, so the open area of the suction chamber 11 facing the ground 100 is defined. The gap S1 between the respective support pieces 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2 of the housing 10 is now provided in the region of the suction chamber 11. The seals 17.1, 17.2 can now be made of an elastic material and placed over the carpet fibers, without completely sealing the suction chamber 11. Therefore, even larger and / or clamped dirt particles can be sucked into the suction chamber 11 from the space between the carpet fibers.

此外,可以在各支承件13.1、13.2與相應密封件17.1、17.2之間形成另一間隙S2,髒物顆粒可以穿過該另一間隙從在各支承件13.1、13.2與相應密封件17.1、17.2之間的區域經由支承件13.1、13.2進入抽吸腔11。In addition, another gap S2 can be formed between each of the supports 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding seals 17.1, 17.2, and dirt particles can pass through the other gap from The area between them enters the suction chamber 11 via the supports 13.1, 13.2.

如圖3的視圖所示,根據本發明的一個實施方式,支承件13.1、13.2可以呈直桿13狀構成。此時,桿13沿整個抽吸腔11延伸。桿13例如可以呈圓鋼形式構成。這種桿13狀的支承件13是穩固的且可以簡單製造安裝。這樣的支承件13提供本發明的刷頭1在地毯地面100上的可靠支承並且用於不使地毯100被帶入抽吸腔11。這樣的支承件13還可以不太費事地固定在刷頭1的殼體10上,尤其在內側固定在殼體10的側壁10a、10b上。為此,可以在殼體10的側壁10a、10b上設有呈通孔14形式的用於支承件13的支承部位14,呈桿13狀的支承件13可安置在該通孔中。還可以想到,支承件13可轉動地安裝在通孔14內。此時可以想到,支承件13可在地面100上滾動,或者支承件13可以藉由隨後在圖9和圖10中被舉例顯示出的驅動單元15被主動驅動轉動。在通孔14處,還可以設有附圖未顯示出的密封例如轉動密封,用於在支承部位14區域內密封該殼體10。As shown in the view of FIG. 3, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the supporting members 13.1 and 13.2 may be formed in the shape of a straight rod 13. At this time, the rod 13 extends along the entire suction chamber 11. The rod 13 can be formed, for example, in the form of round steel. This rod 13-like support 13 is stable and can be easily manufactured and installed. Such a support 13 provides a reliable support of the brush head 1 of the invention on the carpet floor 100 and serves to prevent the carpet 100 from being brought into the suction chamber 11. Such a support 13 can also be fastened to the housing 10 of the brush head 1 with little effort, especially on the inner walls 10a, 10b of the housing 10. For this purpose, the side walls 10a, 10b of the housing 10 may be provided with a support portion 14 in the form of a through hole 14 for the support member 13, and a support member 13 in the shape of a rod 13 may be disposed in the through hole. It is also conceivable that the support member 13 is rotatably mounted in the through hole 14. At this time, it is conceivable that the support member 13 can roll on the ground 100, or the support member 13 can be actively driven to rotate by the driving unit 15 which is exemplarily shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 later. At the through hole 14, a seal not shown in the drawings, such as a rotary seal, may also be provided for sealing the housing 10 in the region of the support portion 14.

圖4以橫截面圖顯示出支承件13的不同形狀。支承件13的所有形狀的共同點是,它們具有朝向地面100被倒圓(例如經打磨)的形狀,以便在刷頭1導向移動時愛護地處理地面100。在地毯地面100的情況下,可以借助倒圓形狀在棱角邊緣處保護地毯纖維免於被壓入及/或被撕落。在硬地面100的情況下,又可以避免硬地面被棱角邊緣損傷或刮花。FIG. 4 shows different shapes of the support 13 in a cross-sectional view. A common feature of all the shapes of the supports 13 is that they have a shape that is rounded (for example, sanded) toward the ground 100 in order to handle the ground 100 with care when the brush head 1 is guided to move. In the case of the carpet floor 100, the rounded shape can be used to protect the carpet fibers from being pressed in and / or torn off at the edges and corners. In the case of the hard ground 100, the hard ground can be prevented from being damaged or scratched by the edges and corners.

圖4從左向右顯示出其橫截面呈具有倒角的半圓形、透鏡形、四角形、三角形和套筒形的各支承件13。橫截面呈半圓形的支承件13相比於具有圓形橫截面的支承件13需要較少材料。這樣的支承件13可以在地面100上導向滑動。作為支承件13橫截面形狀,可以想到透鏡形例如呈凸凸型透鏡,以便不僅允許支承件13在地面100上柔和滑動,也減少支承件13製造用材料。橫截面呈具有倒角的四角形或三角形的支承件13可以幫助利用扁平的四角邊或三角邊提供在地毯100上的較寬支承面。呈套筒狀的支承件13可能對於在長地毯纖維情況下更好地進入地毯纖維之間是有利的。此時,根據地毯類型的不同,可以想到不同的支承件13形狀且可以個別挑選。另外在本發明範圍內可以想到,可以附帶提供一組不同的可更換的帶刷頭1的支承件13,以便與不同類型的地毯或地面連用。FIG. 4 shows, from left to right, each of the support members 13 in a semicircular, lenticular, quadrangular, triangular, and sleeve shape with a chamfered cross section. The support 13 having a semi-circular cross section requires less material than the support 13 having a circular cross section. Such a support 13 can be guided to slide on the ground 100. As the cross-sectional shape of the support 13, it is conceivable that the lens shape is, for example, a convex-convex lens, so as to not only allow the support 13 to slide gently on the ground 100, but also reduce the material for manufacturing the support 13. A quadrangular or triangular support 13 having a chamfered cross-section can help provide a wider support surface on the carpet 100 with flat quadrangular or triangular edges. The sleeve-like support 13 may be advantageous for better access between carpet fibers in the case of long carpet fibers. At this time, depending on the type of the carpet, different shapes of the support members 13 can be thought of and can be individually selected. In addition, it is conceivable within the scope of the present invention that a set of different replaceable support members 13 with brush heads 1 can be additionally provided for use with different types of carpets or floors.

另外,圖5a和5b顯示出支承件13沿其縱軸線L在豎直方向平面內可具有週期性形狀。因此,可以根據抽吸腔11的長度在地毯100上提供多個週期性的支承點13a,以便藉由支承件13在地毯纖維之間獲得梳理作用。此時,不同大小的髒物顆粒可以在支承件13的週期性降下的邊緣的兩側滑落且進入抽吸腔11。藉由適當選擇週期性形狀,可以使支承件13適配於一定的纖維類型或纖維尺寸。In addition, FIGS. 5a and 5b show that the support 13 may have a periodic shape in a vertical direction plane along its longitudinal axis L. Therefore, a plurality of periodic support points 13 a can be provided on the carpet 100 according to the length of the suction cavity 11, so as to obtain a carding effect between the carpet fibers by the support 13. At this time, dirt particles of different sizes can slide off on both sides of the periodically lowered edge of the support 13 and enter the suction chamber 11. By appropriately selecting the periodic shape, the support 13 can be adapted to a certain fiber type or fiber size.

圖5a此時顯示出支承件13可以沿其縱軸線L具有波長形狀或正弦形狀。圖5b還顯示出支承件13可以沿其縱軸線L具有蜿蜒形狀。根據支承件13長度的波浪形狀可能對柔軟精細的地毯類型是有利的。蜿蜒形狀可能對硬地毯類型是有利的。Fig. 5a now shows that the support 13 may have a wavelength shape or a sinusoidal shape along its longitudinal axis L. Figure 5b also shows that the support 13 may have a serpentine shape along its longitudinal axis L. The wave shape according to the length of the support 13 may be advantageous for soft and fine carpet types. The meandering shape may be beneficial for hard carpet types.

還可以想到,根據圖5a的支承件13可以相對於其縱軸線L例如轉動45°,使得支承件13在地面100上的支承點13a在前行方向A上看可位於縱軸線L之前。因此,髒物顆粒可以更好地進入支承件13的支承點13a之間的空隙。因而,在局部無法穿過支承件13和地毯100之間的吸入物可以在支承件13處於較高位置的地方進入抽吸腔11。It is also conceivable that the support 13 according to FIG. 5 a can be rotated, for example, 45 ° relative to its longitudinal axis L, so that the support point 13 a of the support 13 on the ground 100 can be located before the longitudinal axis L in the forward direction A. Therefore, dirt particles can better enter the gap between the support points 13 a of the support 13. Thus, inhaled matter which cannot pass locally between the support member 13 and the carpet 100 can enter the suction chamber 11 where the support member 13 is in a high position.

圖6還顯示出支承件13可以被設計成是可升降調整的。因此,支承件13的深度或者各支承件13.1、13.2與相應下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2之間的間隙S1大小可以被調節。Fig. 6 also shows that the support 13 can be designed to be adjustable. Therefore, the depth of the support member 13 or the size of the gap S1 between each support member 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2 can be adjusted.

此外圖7顯示出支承件13在前行方向A上看可被設計成可前後調整。因此,在支承件13.1、13.2與相應下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2之間的間隙S1以及在支承件13.1、13.2與相應的密封件17.1、17.2下邊緣之間的另一間隙S2可以被調節。此外,刷體12尤其在單獨纖維之間侵入地毯地面100的侵入深度因此可以被影響。因此,支承件13可以針對不同類型地面100被靈活投入使用。在硬地面100的情況下,支承件13可被向上移動以便完全不接觸地面100。在下殼體邊緣10.1、10.2與地面100之間的預定距離此時可以藉由至少一個支承輪19來確定。支承件13.1、13.2可以被同步控制或單獨控制。被同步驅動的支承件13.1、13.2可以借助同一個驅動單元15被驅動且借助同一個調整機構16被調整移動,如以下結合9和圖10所說明的那樣。此外,被同步驅動的支承件13.1、13.2可使刷頭1的導向移動得以均勻化。被單獨調節的支承件13.1、13.2又能以較低的驅動功率被驅動。In addition, FIG. 7 shows that the support member 13 can be designed to be adjusted forward and backward when viewed in the forward direction A. Thus, the gap S1 between the supports 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2 and another gap S2 between the supports 13.1, 13.2 and the corresponding seal 17.1, 17.2 lower edge can be adjusted. Furthermore, the penetration depth of the brush body 12 into the carpet floor 100, especially between the individual fibers, can therefore be affected. Therefore, the support 13 can be flexibly put into use for different types of the ground 100. In the case of a hard ground 100, the support 13 can be moved upward so as not to touch the ground 100 at all. The predetermined distance between the lower housing edge 10.1, 10.2 and the ground 100 can be determined at this time by at least one support wheel 19. The supports 13.1, 13.2 can be controlled simultaneously or individually. The synchronously driven supports 13.1, 13.2 can be driven by the same drive unit 15 and adjusted and moved by the same adjustment mechanism 16, as explained below with reference to 9 and FIG. 10. In addition, the synchronously driven supports 13.1, 13.2 can make the guide movement of the brush head 1 uniform. The individually adjusted supports 13.1, 13.2 can be driven again with a lower driving power.

圖6和圖7的實施方式需要例如呈導軌14形式的支承部位14,導軌可在內側形成在如圖5a和圖5b所示的殼體10的側壁10a、10b上,以便相應引導支承件13並允許支承件13在豎直方向(見圖6)及/或水平(見圖7)方向上調整移動。The embodiments of Figs. 6 and 7 require, for example, a support portion 14 in the form of a guide rail 14. The guide rail may be formed on the inner side on the side walls 10a, 10b of the housing 10 as shown in Figs. The support member 13 is allowed to adjust and move in the vertical direction (see FIG. 6) and / or the horizontal direction (see FIG. 7).

另外,圖6和圖7顯示出在刷體12的前後可以設有至少一個支承輪19以使刷頭1的操控性變得簡單。支承輪19還可以確定殼體邊緣10.1、10.2和地面100之間的預定距離。圖8還顯示出:作為根據圖6和圖7的單獨的支承輪19的附加或另選,在支承件13本身上可設置至少一個支承輪19.1。另外,可以在支承件13的整個長度範圍內設有多個支承輪19.1。In addition, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show that at least one support wheel 19 may be provided at the front and rear of the brush body 12 to simplify the handling of the brush head 1. The support wheel 19 may also determine a predetermined distance between the housing edge 10.1, 10.2 and the ground 100. FIG. 8 also shows that, in addition to or separately from the individual support wheels 19 according to FIGS. 6 and 7, at least one support wheel 19. 1 can be provided on the support 13 itself. In addition, a plurality of support wheels 19.1 may be provided over the entire length of the support 13.

圖8示例性顯示出例如呈馬達形式的驅動單元15,用於在轉動方向D上可轉動地驅動刷體12,以實現由刷體12自動接納髒物顆粒。在圖8的實施例中,驅動單元15在刷體12的端側被固定在殼體10上。但或者在圖10的實施例中可以想到,可相對於刷體12居中地將驅動單元15固定在殼體10上。FIG. 8 exemplarily shows a driving unit 15, for example, in the form of a motor, for driving the brush body 12 rotatably in the rotation direction D, so that the brush body 12 can automatically receive dirt particles. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the driving unit 15 is fixed to the housing 10 on the end side of the brush body 12. However, or in the embodiment of FIG. 10, it is conceivable that the driving unit 15 can be fixed on the housing 10 with respect to the brush body 12 in the center.

根據本發明的如5a、圖5b、圖6和圖7所示的實施方式,可以在殼體10的頂側10c設置至少一個用於支承件13的附加的懸掛件18。因此,支承件13可被穩固支承。According to the embodiments of the invention shown in FIGS. 5 a, 5 b, 6 and 7, at least one additional suspension element 18 for the support element 13 can be provided on the top side 10 c of the housing 10. Therefore, the support member 13 can be stably supported.

另外,圖9和圖10示意性顯示出例如呈傳動機構形式的調整機構16,用於在至少一個轉動方向D上可轉動地及/或如圖6所示在豎直方向上可直線運動地及/或如圖7所示在水平方向上可直線運動地驅動支承件13。因此,支承件13可以被靈活調節,以便用於不同類型的地面100。In addition, FIGS. 9 and 10 schematically show, for example, an adjustment mechanism 16 in the form of a transmission mechanism for rotatably rotating in at least one rotational direction D and / or linearly movable in a vertical direction as shown in FIG. 6. And / or as shown in FIG. 7, the support member 13 is linearly movable in a horizontal direction. Therefore, the support 13 can be flexibly adjusted for different types of floors 100.

可以有利地想到,調整機構16可類似於驅動單元15在端側(見圖9)或者相對于支承件13居中(見圖10)固定在殼體10上。圖9和圖10還顯示出調整機構16能與用於刷體12的驅動單元15配合,以將驅動單元15的驅動作用用於支承件13。因此,可以借助同一個驅動單元15不僅驅動刷體12、也驅動各支承件13,尤其是驅動轉動。It is advantageously conceivable that the adjusting mechanism 16 can be fixed to the housing 10 on the end side (see FIG. 9) or centered relative to the support 13 (see FIG. 10) similar to the drive unit 15. 9 and 10 also show that the adjusting mechanism 16 can cooperate with the driving unit 15 for the brush body 12 to apply the driving action of the driving unit 15 to the support 13. Therefore, the same driving unit 15 can be used to drive not only the brush body 12 but also each support member 13, especially the rotation.

另外,圖6、圖7以及圖9和圖10顯示出:可設有探測單元20用於檢測地面100類型並根據地面100類型來自動調整支承件13。In addition, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show that a detection unit 20 may be provided to detect the type of the ground 100 and automatically adjust the support 13 according to the type of the ground 100.
