Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the efficiency of cooling an electric motor to reduce the rate of temperature rise, while extending the service life of the motor and hence the service life of a floor suction nozzle for a vacuum cleaner having a rotary brush rotated by the motor. SOLUTION: A rotary brush 32 is rotatably provided within a suction chamber to face a suction opening 38 in the lower surface of a suction nozzle body 31. The rotary brush 32 is provided with a brush 40 on the outer peripheral surface of an approximately cylindrical brush holder 39 and an electric motor 41 for driving the rotary brush 32 to rotate is held by a fixed shaft 48 inside the rotary brush 32. Cooling wind, generated by a pressure difference between fresh air and the suction chamber produced by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner body, is almost entirely taken into the electric motor 41 from a cooling wind inlet 55 in the fixed shaft 48 and is guided to an output shaft through the motor 41. |
