Abstract
A vacuum cleaner includes a connection pipe, a cleaner body, a suction nozzle having a first suction port, a movable body, a first rotating body, and a second rotating body. The movable body is movably coupled to the connection pipe, and the first rotating body and the second rotating body are rotatably coupled to the movable body. According to the disclosed vacuum cleaner, in a state in which the connection pipe is separated from the suction nozzle, the first rotating body and the second rotating body may form a second suction port, and may form a nozzle other than the suction nozzle.
Claims19
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a connection pipe including an inlet and an outlet;
- a cleaner body including a motor, the cleaner body being connected to the outlet of the connection pipe;
- a suction nozzle detachably coupled to the inlet of the connection pipe and including a first suction port configured to communicate with the connection pipe;
- a movable nozzle movably coupled to the connection pipe;
- and
- a first rotating cover and a second rotating cover rotatably coupled to the movable nozzle,
- wherein,
- when the suction nozzle is separated from the inlet, the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover form a second suction port communicating with the connection pipe,
- the movable nozzle is configured to move between a first position and a second position along a first direction from the outlet toward the inlet of the connection pipe,
- when the movable nozzle is in the first position, front ends of the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover are positioned behind the inlet with respect to the first direction, and
- when the movable nozzle is in the second position, the front ends of the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover are positioned in front of the inlet with respect to the first direction.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a connection pipe comprising an inlet forming a front side in a first direction, and an outlet forming a rear side in the first direction;
- a cleaner body connected to the outlet and configured to generate a suction force;
- a suction nozzle including:
- a connection neck having a tube shape, the connection neck being detachably coupled to the inlet;
- and
- a nozzle housing coupled to the connection neck so as to be rotatable about a first rotation shaft parallel to a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the nozzle housing includes a first suction port configured to communicate with the connection pipe through the connection neck;
- a movable nozzle coupled to an outer surface of the connection pipe and configured to move along the first direction;
- and
- a first rotating cover and a second rotating cover rotatably coupled to the movable nozzle,
- wherein, when the connection pipe is coupled to the connection neck, the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover are positioned behind the inlet, and
- wherein, in a state in which the connection pipe is separated from the connection neck, the first rotating cover and the second rotating cover are positioned in front of the inlet and form a second suction port configured to communicate with the connection pipe.
