Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner, which includes a nozzle body having a contaminants suction port formed on a bottom surface thereof, and a fur-removing member having a fur-removing body rotatably disposed at a side of the contaminants suction port on the nozzle body, a fur-removing portion formed in a plurality of pins vertically to the fur-removing body, and a plurality of rotation cams, wherein when the nozzle body moves in a first direction, the plurality of rotation cams forces the fur-removing body to rotate so that a leading end of the fur-removing portion is spaced apart from a surface to be cleaned.

Claims

1. A suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner comprising:

a nozzle body having a contaminants suction port formed on a bottom surface thereof;

and

a fur-removing member having a fur-removing body rotatably disposed at a side of the contaminants suction port on the nozzle body, a fur-removing portion formed in a plurality of pins vertically to the fur-removing body, and a plurality of rotation cams, wherein when the nozzle body moves in a first direction, the plurality of rotation cams forces the fur-removing body to rotate so that a leading end of the fur-removing portion is spaced apart from a surface to be cleaned,

wherein the plurality of rotation cams are formed substantially in a fan shape, and a side surface of each of the plurality of rotation cams is disposed on the fur-removing body substantially parallel to the plurality of pins of the fur-removing portion.

2. The suction nozzle of claim 1, wherein

each of the plurality of rotation cams have a length from a bottom surface of the fur-removing body to a leading end of each of the plurality of rotation cams that is longer than a length of the fur-removing portion from the bottom surface of the fur-removing body to a leading end of the fur-removing portion.

3. The suction nozzle of claim 1, wherein

the fur-removing portion comprises a plurality of pins formed in three rows.

4. The suction nozzle of claim 1, wherein

the fur-removing portion has a length of approximately 3 to approximately 8 millimeters.

5. The suction nozzle of claim 1, wherein

the fur-removing member further comprises at least one inserting portion formed at the fur-removing body, and

the nozzle body comprises at least one hinge portion corresponding to the at least one inserting portion.

13. The suction nozzle of claim 1, wherein the fur-removing portion comprises a plurality of pins arranged in a row.

6. A suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner comprising:

a nozzle body having a contaminants suction port formed on a bottom surface thereof;

a front fur-removing member disposed in front of the contaminants suction port; and

a rear fur-removing member disposed behind the contaminants suction port to face the front fur-removing member, wherein

each of the front and rear fur-removing members comprises;

a fur-removing body rotatably disposed at a side of the contaminants suction port on the nozzle body,

a fur-removing portion formed in a plurality of pins vertically to the fur-removing body, and

a plurality of rotation cams, wherein

when the nozzle body moves in a first direction, the plurality of rotation cams forces the fur-removing body to rotate so that a leading end of the fur-removing portion is spaced apart from a surface to be cleaned,

wherein the plurality of rotation cams are formed substantially in a fan shape, and a side surface of each of the plurality of rotation cams is disposed on the fur-removing body substantially parallel to the plurality of pins of the fur-removing portion.

7. The suction nozzle of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of rotation cams have a length from a bottom surface of the fur-removing body to a leading end of each of the plurality of rotation cams that is longer than a length of the fur-removing portion from the bottom surface of the fur-removing body to the leading end of the fur-removing portion.

8. The suction nozzle of claim 6, wherein

the fur-removing portion comprises a plurality of pins formed in three rows.

9. The suction nozzle of claim 6, further comprising:

a rotation brush rotatably disposed in the contaminants suction port.

10. The suction nozzle of claim 9, further comprising

a drive fan disposed at the nozzle body to be rotated by air drawn in via the contaminants suction port, wherein

the drive fan rotates the rotation brush.

11. The suction nozzle of claim 6, wherein

when the nozzle body moves in the first direction, the fur-removing portion of the front fur-removing member is inclined to the surface to be cleaned, and

the fur-removing portion of the rear fur-removing member is vertical to the surface to be cleaned, and wherein when the nozzle body moves in a second direction, the fur-removing portion of the front fur-removing member is vertical to the surface to be cleaned, and

the fur-removing portion of the rear fur-removing member is inclined to the surface to be cleaned.

14. The suction nozzle of claim 6, wherein the fur-removing portion comprises a plurality of pins arranged in a row.

12. A suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner comprising:

a nozzle body having a contaminants suction port formed on a bottom surface thereof;

a front fur-removing member disposed in front of the contaminants suction port; and

a rear fur-removing member disposed behind the contaminants suction port to face the front fur-removing member;

wherein each of the front and rear fur-removing members comprises;

a fur-removing body rotatably disposed at a side of the contaminants suction port on the nozzle body;

a felt member disposed on a bottom surface of the fur-removing body; and

a plurality of rotation cams, wherein

when the nozzle body moves in a first direction, the plurality of rotation cams forces the fur-removing body to rotate so that the felt member is spaced apart from a surface to be cleaned.
