Wet-cloth brush for vacuum cleaner and a vacuum cleaner having the same

Abstract

In a preferred embodiment, a wet cloth brush for a vacuum cleaner reduces vibration generated and enables a user to check the operation of the wet cloth plate. Exemplary embodiments include: a brush body; a fan mounted to the brush body to be rotated by intake air; an eccentric cam mounted to the brush body and operating in conjunction with a power transmission that transmits the rotational force of the fan; and a detachably mounted To the brush body to move along the track of the eccentric cam at least two wet cloth plates.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2004-110043 filed on December 22, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of brushes, eg for use in vacuum cleaners.

Background technique [0003] When cleaning a place such as a room, a vacuum cleaner is typically used first to remove dust and debris, and then a damp cloth is used to wipe the surface clean. However, since the two-step process may be inconvenient for the user, a wet cloth brush for a vacuum cleaner capable of sweeping and wiping with the vacuum cleaner at the same time has been introduced and used.

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the conventional wet cloth brush 1, the wet cloth plate 40 reciprocates very rapidly, and the speed of this movement increases noise and vibration

The inventors have found that in conventional designs, this vibration is transmitted upwards through the extension tube 3 of the vacuum cleaner to the handle, causing discomfort to the user

[0010] In addition, the inventors have noticed that since the wet cloth plate 40 is hidden during operation, the user cannot immediately recognize whether the wet cloth is working properly.
