Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a suction nozzle for use in a vacuum cleaner, which can clean a surface to be cleaned having a corner portion where a horizontal surface and a vertical surface meet, such as a staircase, etc.
  • a vacuum cleaner generates a suction force by using a suction motor, so that it draws in dirt or dust from a surface to be cleaned, thereby cleaning the surface to be cleaned.
  • a vacuum cleaner has a suction nozzle, which draws in the dust or dirt from the surface to be cleaned when it moves in contact with the surface to be cleaned.
  • the suction nozzle is usually provided with an air inlet formed in a bottom surface of a nozzle body to draw in the dust or dirt adhered to the surface to be cleaned, and a fixed brush or a rotatable drum brush disposed in the vicinity of the air inlet to brush away the dust or dirt adhered to the surface to be cleaned.
  • the suction nozzle as described above is disadvantageous in that although it is effective in brushing away dust or dirt adhered to a surface to be cleaned, such as a floor, a carpet, etc., it is difficult in removing dust or dirt adhered to a surface to be cleaned having a corner portion, such as a staircase, etc.
  • the conventional vacuum cleaner is provided with a suction nozzle for staircase, which is selectively mounted to a hose or an extended tube, as an accessory to clean only the surface to be cleaned, such as the staircase.
  • suction nozzle for staircase there are known a plate-bottom surface type suction nozzle and a shutter function type suction nozzle.
  • the plate-bottom surface type suction nozzle is disadvantageous in that although it can cleans a vertical surface and a horizontal surface of the staircase, it cannot draw in air or exert a suction force in the vicinity of the corner portion of the staircase, thereby causing the corner portion not to clean.
  • the shutter function type suction nozzle is provided with a suction shutter, which is rotatable in an angle of 90° by a lever.
  • the shutter function type suction nozzle can clean the surface to be cleaned by changing an air-suction angle of the suction shutter through the lever according to a change in shape of the surface to be cleaned.
  • the suction shutter should be manually rotated by the lever whenever the shape of the surface to be cleaned is changed within the angle of 90°.
  • the problem that when the corner portion is cleaned, the nozzle can not draw in the air or exert the suction force, thereby causing the corner portion not to clean, is not addressed, but still remained.
  • an aspect of the present disclosure is to address at least the above problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a suction nozzle for use in a vacuum cleaner capable of automatically adjusting an air-suction angle according to an operation angle caused by a change in shape of a surface to be cleaned thus to easily clean dust or dirt from the surface to be cleaned having a horizontal surface, a vertical surface and a corner portion where the horizontal surface and the vertical surface meet, such as a staircase, the corner of a room, etc.
  • a suction nozzle for use in a vacuum cleaner includes a nozzle body having an air inlet formed in a bottom surface thereof to draw in air, and a brush unit having a liftable brush liftably and lowerably disposed in the nozzle body in front of the air inlet and coming in surface contact with a surface to be cleaned to brush away dirt or dust therefrom.
  • the air inlet is formed, so that when the nozzle body is in a horizontal surface-cleaning position, a front part thereof is located higher than a rear part thereof from the surface to be cleaned.
  • the liftable brush includes a brush body having a brush attached on a lower part thereof, a guide member to accommodate the brush body and to guide a lifting and lowering movement of the brush body, and an elastic member to elastically urge the brush body in a direction where the brush comes in surface contact with the surface to be cleaned.
  • the brush unit may further include a fixed brush fixedly disposed on the nozzle body in the rear of the air inlet and coming in surface contact with the surface to be cleaned to bush away dust or dirt therefrom.
  • the fixed brush includes a rubber blade.
  • the rubber blade has a plurality of protrusions formed on a front surface thereof.
  • the suction nozzle may further includes a roller unit having at least one roller rotatably disposed on the nozzle body to come in rolling contact with the surface to be cleaned.
  • the roller is disposed, so that a center thereof is higher than fixing centers of the liftable brush and the fixed brush. Accordingly, in cleaning, when the nozzle body moves back and forth while pivoting or rotating on a center axis of the roller, fixing points of the liftable brush and the fixed brush are located as downward as possible, that is, closely on the side of the surface to be cleaned, thereby preventing the liftable brush and the fixed brush from moving away from the surface to be cleaned to weaken a suction force in cleaning.
