CLEANER HEAD AND CLEANER COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240268617 titled 'CLEANER HEAD AND CLEANER COMPRISING SAME
The patent application describes a cleaner head with a brush drum that can rotate around a rotation axis, a brush case that supports the brush drum, and a drive assembly inside the brush drum that provides rotational force to the brush drum.
- The drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive housing that accommodates the drive motor between the brush drum and the drive motor, and a thermostat that cuts off power to the drive motor based on temperature, located away from the drive motor in the direction of the rotation axis.
- Additionally, there is a heat transfer structure to move heat from the drive motor to the thermostat.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in vacuum cleaners or other cleaning devices to improve efficiency and performance. - It can also be applied in industrial cleaning equipment for large-scale cleaning operations.
Problems Solved: - The cleaner head addresses the issue of providing a reliable and effective rotational force to the brush drum. - The inclusion of a thermostat helps prevent overheating of the drive motor, ensuring safe operation.
Benefits: - Improved cleaning performance due to the consistent rotational force provided by the drive assembly. - Enhanced safety features with the thermostat cutting off power in case of overheating.
Commercial Applications: - The technology can be utilized by vacuum cleaner manufacturers to enhance the functionality of their products, leading to increased customer satisfaction and potentially higher sales.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the heat transfer structure in the drive assembly contribute to the overall efficiency of the cleaner head? 2. What are the potential cost implications of integrating this drive assembly into cleaning devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
a cleaner head is provided. the cleaner head includes a brush drum rotatable about a rotation axis, a brush case rotatably supporting the brush drum, and a drive assembly arranged inside the brush drum and configured to provide a rotational force to the brush drum, wherein the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive housing that accommodates the drive motor, is arranged between an inner circumferential surface of the brush drum and an outer circumferential surface of the drive motor, and is supported by an end of the brush case, a thermostat that is configured to cut off power supplied to the drive motor according to a temperature, and is arranged to be spaced apart from the drive motor in a direction of the rotation axis, and a heat transfer structure configured to transfer heat from the drive motor to the thermostat.
