a nozzle head, the nozzle head comprising at least one sonic beater and at least one mechanical beater, the at least one sonic beater comprising a beater portion and an actuating member that vibrates the beater portion, the beater portion comprising a rotatable hollow cylinder.
2. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 1 , wherein the actuating member comprises:
a shaft; and
at least one eccentric member disposed on the shaft.
3. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 2 , wherein the hollow cylinder is disposed on the shaft, and the at least one eccentric member is disposed within the hollow cylinder.
4. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 3 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and the outer surface is smooth.
5. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 3 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and the outer surface is textured.
6. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of bumps extend from the outer surface of the hollow cylinder.
7. The vacuum cleaner of claim 3 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and a plurality of bristles are formed on the outer surface.
8. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 3 , wherein the at least one mechanical beater comprises a rotatable beater brush and a first motor that drives the rotatable beater brush via a drive belt.
9. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 8 , wherein the actuating member further comprises a rotatable member attached to one end of the shaft, the rotatable member being engaged with the drive belt.
10. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 9 , further comprising a lever for selectively engaging the rotatable member with the drive belt.
11. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 8 , wherein the first motor provides a suction force to the vacuum cleaner nozzle.
12. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sonic beater is an ultrasonic beater.
13. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
a dust collecting part; and
a nozzle head connected to the dust collecting part, the nozzle head comprising at least one mechanical beater and at least one sonic beater, the at least one sonic beater comprising a beater portion and an actuating member that vibrates the beater portion, the beater portion comprising a rotatable hollow cylinder.
14. The vacuum cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the actuating member comprises:
a shaft; and
at least one eccentric member disposed on the shaft.
15. The vacuum cleaner of claim 14 , wherein the hollow cylinder is disposed on the shaft, and the at least one eccentric member is disposed within the hollow cylinder.
16. The vacuum cleaner of claim 15 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and the outer surface is smooth.
17. The vacuum cleaner of claim 15 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and the outer surface is textured.
18. The vacuum cleaner of claim 17 , wherein a plurality of bumps extend from the outer surface of the hollow cylinder.
19. The vacuum cleaner of claim 15 , wherein the hollow cylinder has an outer surface, and a plurality of bristles are formed on the outer surface.
20. The vacuum cleaner of claim 15 , wherein the at least one mechanical beater comprises a rotatable beater brush and a first motor that drives the rotatable beater brush via a drive belt.
21. The vacuum cleaner of claim 20 , wherein the actuating member further comprises a rotatable member attached to one end of the shaft, the rotatable member being engaged with the drive belt.
22. The vacuum cleaner of claim 21 , further comprising a lever for selectively engaging the rotatable member with the drive belt.
23. The vacuum cleaner nozzle of claim 20 , wherein the first motor provides a suction force to the nozzle head.
