Pressurized Air Assistance (PAA) in Vacuum Cleaner Head

Abstract

In all vacuum cleaners, the head of the vacuum is the source of particle removal. With this mechanism, the min vacuum pressure can be reached at zero atmosphere, and it takes the particles from the floor and guide them through the vacuum line. The generation of a zero-atmosphere pressure requires a high speed and high current AC/DC motor air turbine, which creates lots of noise and consumes high amounts of energy.

The new idea in this patent proposes an injection of pressurized air inside of the vacuum cleaner head chamber to lift up the particles easily and guide them towards the vacuum line. This mechanism, which does not present any limitations of high-pressure generation, will provide higher electrical efficiency, lower noise production, and much cleaner performance.

Claims

1- Use of any high-pressure air at inside or outside of the vacuum cleaner head

2- Use of air-pump at inside or outside of the vacuum cleaner head

3- Use of vacuum cleaner exhaust air inside or outside of the vacuum cleaner head

4- Use of internal or external adjustable valve to control the air pressure inside or outside of the vacuum cleaner head

5- Use of any number of air hole structures at any angle and/or any shape.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] FIG. 1 is a universal vacuum cleaner head, supported by a pressure line coming from outside and distributing the pressure to a series of the angled holes

[0010] FIG. 2 is an external view of the vacuum cleaner head, which shows the installation of the high-pressure airline parallel to the vacuum line

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0011] In the description that follows, like parts are marked throughout the specification and drawings with the same reference numerals respectively. The drawing figures are not necessary to scale and in certain views parts may be drawn rotated into the plane of the drawing for purposes of clarity.

[0012] Referring now to the drawings, there are small holes which act as pressurized air jet stream. It is angled in the picture, but it can be perpendicular to the floor, or have any arbitrary angle too.

[0013] These holes connect internally to the pressure line in FIG. 2

[0014] The best means to provide the source of pressure is the outlet of the filtered air from the main vacuum cleaner motor, but for simplicity, a small air pump can be used externally or internally in vacuum head assembly
