Vacuum cleaner
Disclosed is a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner according to the present disclosure includes a main body and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle includes a housing and a rotating brush. The rotating brush includes a first rotating brush, a second rotating brush, and a coupler. The coupler couples the first rotating brush and the second rotating brush so that a rotation axis of the first rotating brush and a rotation axis of the second rotating brush are positioned on the same line.
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
a main body configured to generate a difference in air pressure; and
a suction nozzle configured to suction dust on a floor surface by using the difference in air pressure,
wherein the suction nozzle comprises:
a housing having an inlet through which the dust moves to the main body, and a chamber connected to the inlet and being partially opened, and
a rotating brush comprising flannel and defining a roller surface that has a cylindrical shape and is configured to come into contact with the floor surface, the rotating brush being rotatably installed in the chamber and having a part configured to be exposed to an outside of the chamber,
wherein a texture of the flannel extends along a longitudinal direction of the rotating brush from an intersection circle defined by the roller surface intersecting an imaginary plane that is perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotating brush and that passes through the inlet, the texture of the flannel being connected to two opposite sides of the rotating brush, wherein the texture of the flannel defines a V shape including a pointy portion that points to a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the rotating brush,
wherein the housing comprises a front cover part that is disposed in the chamber and that is in contact with the roller surface, the front cover part comprising a cover guide configured to guide movement of debris attached to the roller surface,
wherein the cover guide connects to a position of an edge of the front cover part, the position being disposed on an intersection line defined by the imaginary plane intersecting the front cover part, and
wherein the cover guide extends in a spiral shape about the rotation axis of the rotating brush and defines a second V shape including a pointy portion that points to the rotation direction of the rotating brush to thereby cause the debris attached to the roller surface to move to a position of the intersection circle based on rotation of the rotating brush.
2. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the flannel comprises a plurality of bristles, and the texture of the flannel is defined in a direction in which the plurality of bristles lies.
3. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the flannel is made by being woven with yarns, and the texture of the flannel is defined in a direction in which the flannel is woven with the yarns.
4. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the texture of the flannel comprises a plurality of textures, and intervals between the plurality of textures of the flannel are equal to one another.
5. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the texture of the flannel is symmetric with respect to the imaginary plane.
6. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein a frictional coefficient of the front cover part is larger than a frictional coefficient of the roller surface.
7. The vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the cover guide protrudes from the front cover part.
8. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
a main body configured to generate a difference in air pressure; and
a suction nozzle configured to suction dust on a floor surface by using the difference in air pressure,
wherein the suction nozzle comprises:
a housing having an inlet through which the dust moves to the main body, and a chamber connected to the inlet and being partially opened,
a rotating brush defining a roller surface that has a cylindrical shape and is configured to come into contact with the floor surface, the rotating brush being rotatably installed in the chamber and having a part configured to be exposed to an outside of the chamber, and
a roller guide disposed on the rotating brush and made of fibers having a texture to guide a movement of debris attached to the roller surface,
wherein the roller guide extends along a longitudinal direction of the rotating brush from an intersection circle defined by the roller surface intersecting an imaginary plane that is perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotating brush and that passes through the inlet, the roller guide being connected to two opposite sides of the rotating brush, wherein the roller guide defines a V shape including a pointy portion that points to a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the rotating brush,
wherein the housing comprises a front cover part that is disposed in the chamber and that is in contact with the roller surface, the front cover part comprising a cover guide configured to guide the movement of debris attached to the roller surface,
wherein the cover guide connects to a position of an edge of the front cover part, the position being disposed on an intersection line defined by the imaginary plane intersecting the front cover part, and
wherein the cover guide extends in a spiral shape about the rotation axis of the rotating brush and defines a second V shape including a pointy portion that points to the rotation direction of the rotating brush to thereby cause the debris attached to the roller surface to move to a position of the intersection circle based on rotation of the rotating brush.
9. The vacuum cleaner of claim 8 , wherein the fibers having the texture comprise flannel.
10. The vacuum cleaner of claim 8 , wherein the roller guide defines a part of the roller surface.
11. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the roller guide comprises a plurality of roller guides disposed on the roller surface, and intervals between the plurality of roller guides are equal to one another.
12. The vacuum cleaner of claim 8 , wherein the pointy portion of the roller guide is partially opened on the roller surface so that the debris moved to a position of the intersection circle is suctioned into the inlet.
