At the front position of the suction port 30 of the cover body 6, an opening 31 that exposes the central area portion 22 and the plurality of cylindrical portions 23 of the rotary cleaning body 18 is formed corresponding to the rotary cleaning body 18.

  Ribs 32 are formed between the openings 31, and the openings 31 are partitioned by the ribs 32. The rib portion 32 is disposed in a clearance portion between the plurality of cylindrical portions 23 and a clearance portion between the end portion of the cleaning member provided in the central area portion 22 and the cylindrical portion 23 disposed in the vicinity thereof. 23 is formed in the outer diameter which protrudes below rather than the rib part 32. As shown in FIG. The pair of brushes 21 provided in the central area part 22 is also set so as to protrude below the rib part 32.

  The opening edge of the opening 31 that exposes the cylindrical portion 23, particularly the opening edge on the rear side, narrows the gap between the opening edge and the cylindrical portion 23, and the rotation edge 18 and the cylinder are rotated when the rotary cleaning body 18 rotates. Sheets or the like are prevented from being caught between the portions 23.

  A pair of second protrusions 33 are formed at positions on both sides of the screwing claw 29 at a position behind the suction port 30 near the center of the cover body 6. Similarly to the first protrusion 26, the second protrusion 33 has a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side, and the top of the triangle is the lowermost part 34 with respect to the surface to be cleaned, and the position of the lowermost part 34 is Further, they are arranged so as to be offset toward the intake port 8 side (front side) in the front-rear direction with respect to the center of the isosceles triangle, and the front and rear of the lowermost part 34 are formed in a circular arc shape.

  The first protrusion 26 and the second protrusion 33 protrude downward so that the lowermost portion 27 and the lowermost portion 34 of each other have the same height.

  An opening edge on the outer side of the suction port 30 of the cover body 6 located on the outermost side in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction of the rotary cleaning body 18) is formed at substantially the same position as the outer side surface of the first protrusion 26 located on the outer side.

  Further, the outer opening edge of the suction port 30 facing the innermost intake port 8 is formed at substantially the same position as the outer side surface of the second protrusion 33. Thereby, the sheet or the like can be suppressed from being sucked into the suction port 30 by being pressed by the rib portion 32, the first protrusion portion 26, and the second protrusion portion 33.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the first protrusion 26 and the second protrusion 33 are arranged so that the lowermost portions 27 and 34 are positioned on a straight line. Since the screwing claws 29 are located between the second protrusions 33, when the cleaner body 1 is placed on a futon or the like, the sheets or the like are pressed by the second protrusions 33 located on both sides. Therefore, when the cleaner body 1 is moved forward or backward, a sheet or the like comes into contact with the screw claw 29 and the screw claw 29 is unscrewed. Can be prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, flat portions 35 are formed in front of the cover body 6 at both side positions of the opening portion 31, and the flat portions 35 are formed by the first protrusion portion 26 and the second protrusion portion.

  Since the screwing claws 29 located on both sides are located between the flat portion 35 and the first protrusions 26 located on both sides, when the cleaner body 1 is placed on a futon or the like, The sheet is not touched by the flat portion 35 and the first protrusion 26 and does not come into contact with the screwing claw 29. When the cleaner body 1 is moved forward or backward, a sheet or the like comes into contact with the screwing claw 29. Thus, the screwing claw 29 can be prevented from being unscrewed.

  FIG. 11 is a perspective view in which a part of the vacuum cleaner is broken, FIG. 12 is a perspective view in which a part of the vacuum cleaner is broken and enlarged, and FIG. 13 is an axial view of a rotation detection sensor of the vacuum cleaner. FIG. 14 is an AA sectional view of FIG. 13 of the vacuum cleaner, FIG. 15 is an AA sectional view of FIG. 13 in a state where the vacuum cleaner is turned upside down, and FIG. 16 is a rotation of the cleaner. It is a principal part perspective view which shows the state which the body and the rotation detection sensor combined.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a recessed portion 36 is formed at the rear position of the first protruding portion 26 and the second protruding portion 33, and a large number of protruding portions 37 are formed in the recessed portion 36. The rotating body 38 is rotatably supported.

  The rotating body 38 is supported on both sides of the rotating shaft 39 by a bearing 40 inside the cleaner body 1, and a rotation detecting sensor 41 for detecting the rotation of the rotating body 38 is disposed on one rotating shaft 39.

  As shown in FIGS. 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, the rotation detection sensor 41 includes a housing 44 including an upper housing 42 and a lower housing 43. A rotating plate 47 having a plurality of slits 46 is fixed to the rotating shaft 45 located in the housing 44 in a state in which rotation with respect to the rotating shaft 45 is prevented.

  In addition, a pendulum plate 48 is attached to the rotating shaft 45 located in the housing 44 adjacent to the rotating plate 47. The pendulum plate 48 is formed in a substantially crescent shape with a part cut away, and is attached to the rotary shaft 45 so as to be rotatable.

  Since the pendulum plate 48 is mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to the rotation shaft 45, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, for example, when the cleaner body 1 is turned upside down, the pendulum plate 48 is It rotates by its own weight.

  An optical sensor 49 is mounted in the housing 44. The optical sensor 49 is configured by arranging a rotating plate 47 and a pendulum plate 48 between the light emitting element 50 and the light receiving element 51. In the optical sensor 49, when the rotating body 38 rotates, the rotating plate 47 rotates, and the light when the slit 46 of the rotating plate 47 is positioned in the light receiving state between the light emitting element 50 and the light receiving element 51. The rotation of the rotating body 38 is detected by detecting that the light receiving state in which light is received and that the slit 46 is not positioned and light is interrupted and the light blocking state continues.

  When the rotation of the rotating body 38 is detected, the optical sensor 49 transmits a detection signal to a control unit (not shown). When the detection signal exceeds a certain threshold value, the control unit 38 moves the rotating body 38 on the surface to be cleaned. It is determined that the cleaning operation has started, and the electric motor 20 is driven. The threshold value is set such that, with the vacuum cleaner body 1 lifted, the electric motor 20 is not driven by a slight rotation that touches the rotating body 38, so that the light 20 is driven twice or more in 0.5 seconds. Is set as a threshold value when the light receiving state is a state in which light receiving and non-light receiving continue.

  Further, the electric blower 15 is driven by the operation of the power switch 7 regardless of the output of the rotation detection sensor 41.

  When the electric motor 20 is driven, the rotary cleaning body 18 rotates, and the pair of brushes 21 arranged in the central area portion 22 of the rotary cleaning body 18 come into contact with a soft surface to be cleaned such as a futon, a blanket, and bedding. The internal dust is knocked out, and the rotation of the plurality of cylindrical portions 23 provided at intervals on both sides other than the central area portion 22 of the rotary cleaning body 18 automatically moves forward with respect to the surface to be cleaned. Because it runs, it can be cleaned with a light operation. At that time, a brushed cloth is wound around the surface of the plurality of cylindrical portions 23 to form a ring shape, so that the dust on the surface to be cleaned can be scraped off, and the sliding with the surface to be cleaned can be reduced. The effect that increases is born.

  In the state where the vacuum cleaner body 1 is turned upside down, as shown in FIG. 15, the pendulum plate 48 rotates by its own weight, moves between the light emitting element 50 and the light receiving element 51, and enters a light shielding state.

  Even if the rotating body 38 is rotated in the upside down state, the optical sensor 49 transmits a detection signal in a light-shielded state in which light reception is interrupted to the control unit. Therefore, the electric motor 20 is stopped.

  Thereby, in the state where the vacuum cleaner body 1 is turned upside down, the rotating cleaning body 18 does not rotate and is careless even if the rotating body 38 is stationary or accidentally touched and turned by a hand or an object. It is possible to prevent the fingers from touching the rotating cleaning body 18 that rotates.

  The bearing portions 40 of the rotary shaft 39 disposed on both sides of the rotating body 38 are covered with the outer bottom surface of the cleaner body 1, and each of the outer bottom surfaces covering the bearing portion 40 has an arcuate bulge. The part 52 is bulged.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 20, the lowermost portion 53 where the arcuate bulged portion 52 contacts the surface to be cleaned is configured to be positioned below the lowermost portion 54 of the protruding portion 37 of the rotating body 38. The bulging portion 52 is disposed in the vicinity of the rotating body 38 and is configured to be supported as a mounting surface of the cleaner body 1.

  As a result, when the cleaner body 1 is placed on an installation surface that is relatively difficult to sink, such as a flat surface or tufted carpet, the bulging portion 52 is grounded first, so that the rotating body 38 is installed on the installation surface. The rotation detection sensor 41 does not detect the movement of the cleaner main body 1 and does not drive the electric motor 20 even if the cleaner main body 1 is moved without contacting the motor.

  Therefore, even if the cleaner body 1 is placed on an installation surface different from a soft surface to be cleaned such as a futon, blanket, or bedding to be cleaned, and the cleaner body 1 is moved, the cleaner body 1 Therefore, the rotating cleaning body 18 can be prevented from rotating and moving on the installation surface carelessly in accordance with the intention of the user.

  A wheel 55 is rotatably supported behind the cleaner body 1. When the vacuum cleaner main body 1 is placed on a flat surface, the flat portion 35, the lowermost portions 27 and 34 of the first protruding portion 26 and the second protruding portion 33, the lowermost portion 53 of the bulging portion 52, and the surface of the wheel 55, Each is formed so as to be grounded.

  In the above configuration, the cleaner body 1 is placed on a futon, the power switch 7 is turned on, the handle 4 is gripped, and the cleaner body 1 is moved forward or backward. The rotary body * 38 is rotated by the movement of the cleaner body 1, the rotation detection sensor 41 detects the rotation of the rotary body 38, and the control unit rotationally drives the electric motor 20 and the rotary cleaning body 18.

  When the movement of the cleaner body 1 is stopped or almost stopped, the rotation of the rotating body 38 is stopped or almost stopped, so that the rotation detecting sensor 41 detects the rotation of the rotating body 38 and the control unit rotates. The rotation of the cleaning body 18 is stopped. The electric blower 15 continues to be driven.

  By driving the electric blower 15, dust, hair, and the like are sucked together with air from the suction port 30 through the intake passage 10 and the intake port 8, and the dust is collected in the dust collection bag 13. Since the suction port 30 is formed over substantially the entire width of the cleaner body 1, dust, hair, and the like can be efficiently removed. Further, dust, hair, and the like can be removed from the opening 31 through the air inlet 8 through the notch 17.

  As the electric motor 20 rotates, the rotary cleaning body 18 rotates forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 6), and the main body of the cleaner 1 automatically moves forward due to the frictional force between the cylindrical portion 23 made of brushed cloth and the sheets. Acts to run. Thereby, the user can move the cleaner main body 1 in the forward direction with almost no force for pushing the cleaner main body 1 in the forward direction.

  Due to the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 18, dust, hair, and the like attached to the sheets and the like can be efficiently removed by the scraping force of the cylindrical portion 23 made of the brush 21 and the raised cloth.

  The sheet or the like tries to suck the suction port 30 by the scraping force of the brush 21 and the cylindrical portion 23 by the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 18 and the suction force of the electric blower 15. It is suppressed by the projection part 26 and the 2nd projection part 33, and it can suppress that it attracts | sucks to the suction inlet 30, and can suppress that the movement of the cleaner body 1 is prevented.

  Since the cylindrical portion 23 is located adjacent to the rib portion 32, the contact force of the rib portion 32 to the sheet or the like is relatively weak, and the rib portion 32 is less likely to damage the sheet or the like. It is possible to reduce the frictional force against the sheets and the like, and the mobility of the cleaner body 1 can be improved.

  The first protrusions 26 and the second protrusions 33 are formed wider than the ribs 32 in order to exert an effect of suppressing the sheets and the like and suppressing the sheets and the like from adhering to the suction port 30. . It was experimentally effective that the thickness dimension in the longitudinal direction of the rotary cleaning body 18 of the plurality of first protrusions 26 and the second protrusions 33 arranged behind the suction port 30 is a plurality of cylindrical shapes. Is set to a range of 3 to 12 mm, which is smaller than the distance between the cylindrical portions 23.

  Further, the shape in the side surface direction of the plurality of first protrusions 26 and the second protrusions 33 arranged behind the suction port 30 is a substantially triangular shape connecting a plurality of arcs, and the top position of the substantially triangular shape, That is, since the positions of the lowermost portions 27 and 34 are formed so as to be offset toward the suction port 30 side with respect to the front-rear direction of the cleaner body 1, the action of suppressing the sheets can be further improved. The sticking to the opening 31 can be more reliably suppressed.

  Since the rib part 32 forms the front side high, it becomes possible to suppress that the movement to the front direction of the cleaner body 1 is prevented. Further, since the rib portion 32 is formed so that the opening 31 side is low (so as to be located on the surface to be cleaned), the action of suppressing the sheet or the like can be improved, and the opening to the opening 31 such as the sheet can be improved. Soothing can be more reliably suppressed.

  When the cleaner body 1 is turned upside down, for example, when cleaning is interrupted, as shown in FIG. 15, the pendulum plate 48 rotates due to its own weight and moves between the light emitting element 50 and the light receiving element 51 to block light. It becomes. Thereby, the rotation detection sensor 41 transmits a detection signal of a light shielding state to the control unit, and the control unit stops the electric motor 20 to prevent a finger or the like from touching the rotating rotating cleaning body 18 inadvertently. be able to.

  As described above, the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention, when cleaning a soft cloth such as a sheet or a futon, uses a brush provided in a rotating cleaning body that is rotated by an electric motor or a cylindrical portion that provides a self-propelling action. It is used as a household and commercial vacuum cleaner because it prevents dust from getting caught in the rotary cleaning body by adsorption, absorbs dust efficiently, and can be easily cleaned by the self-propelled action of the cylindrical part. can do.
