Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an agitator for a suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner that can effectively suck in dust and other objects on a surface to be cleaned. The agitator comprises a body rotatably provided at an inlet of the suction nozzle, and at least one blade assembly. The blade assembly is mounted at the body and includes a plurality of blades that come in contact with the surface to be cleaned. The blade assembly is designed to lead objects to a particular location of the inlet with a relatively strong suction force. The blade assembly is connected to the body with a strip member, and the joining portion of the blade assembly is disposed at the center portion of the inlet. The blade assembly can be fitted tightly in a groove in the body. The invention improves the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner by almost all objects on the surface being sucked in through the suction nozzle.

Problems solved by technology

Owing to many clearances between the plurality of bristles, the brush comes into unequal contact with the surface to be cleaned and thus is unable to sweep many objects on the surface to be cleaned.
Accordingly, a conventional agitator is unable to effectively suck in the dust and other objects on the surface to be cleaned.

Embodiment Construction

[0035] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0036] A vacuum cleaner is classified into a canister type vacuum cleaner and an upright type vacuum cleaner. In the canister type vacuum cleaner, a suction nozzle is connected with a body via a coupling pipe. In the upright type vacuum cleaner, the body is directly connected with the suction nozzle.

[0037] Although the present invention is described referring to embodiments applied to the canister type vacuum cleaner, it is obvious that the present invention may also be applied to the upright type vacuum cleaner without any substantial modification.

[0038]FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a vacuum cleaner with an agitator in accordance with the present invention, and FIG....

Abstract

An agitator (100) for a suction nozzle (10) in a vacuum cleaner is disclosed for largely improving efficiency of the vacuum cleaner, the agitator (100) including a body rotatably provided at an inlet (12) of the suction nozzle (10), and at least one blade assembly (120) including a plurality of blades (121) configured to come in contact with a surface to be cleaned, and mounted at the body (110) along a length direction thereof.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to an agitator provided at a suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In general, a vacuum cleaner is an apparatus for cleaning a floor or a carpet. The vacuum cleaner basically generates a suction force and includes a body configured to pass the air sucked in, and a suction nozzle connected to the body and sucking in outside air. The suction nozzle is, if necessary, connected to the body by a coupling pipe having a predetermine distance. [0003] The vacuum cleaner sucks in outside air using a suction device provided in the body, separately collects objects such as dust from the air sucked in by a collecting is device, and discharges refreshed air outside of the vacuum cleaner. [0004] The vacuum cleaner further includes an agitator moving along a surface to be cleaned and sucking in air so as to suck in dust on the floor together with other objects. The agitator is normal...
