Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary punch brush module, and more particularly, to a rotary punch brush module in which a germicidal lamp is mounted inside the rotary brush to form one module.

  In general, a vacuum cleaner uses a powerful vibration rotary motor to create a vacuum inside the main body and sucks various foreign substances into the main body via a vacuum suction input that acts on the suction port provided on the lower end of the main body. It has a good structure.

  Here, the suction port of the main body on which the vacuum suction force acts has a variety of structures that can inhale foreign matters such as dust more effectively depending on the condition of the site to be cleaned.

  In conventional vacuum cleaners, if dust or other foreign matter is deeply embedded, such as bedding or cushion bed sheets, the conventional vacuum cleaner does not absorb suction unless it is forcibly removed. There is a problem that it is weak and cannot be inhaled properly, and only the foreign matter on the surface is inhaled, so that it cannot be cleaned cleanly.

  In order to solve the above problems, a vibration-type vacuum cleaner in which another vibration rotation motor is provided on the suction port of the vacuum cleaner has been developed.

  Such a vibration-type vacuum cleaner mechanically generates vibration by the driving force of a vibration rotation motor to vibrate the bottom of bedding or an automobile seat. As a result, the foreign matter that is deeply embedded in the bedding or the bed sheet can be removed and sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

  Such a vibration-type vacuum cleaner generates vibration by the vertical movement of a vibration member according to the flow of a vacuum cleaner or suction air that normally generates vibration using the principle of an eccentric cam.

  The above-described conventional vibration type vacuum cleaner has a disadvantage that it is unstable because the vibration force is not constant. Furthermore, a space for providing another vibration rotation motor in the suction port is insufficient, and the volume of the suction port must be increased.

  In addition, there is a problem that various pests such as mites or bacteria that live in separate bedding cannot be sterilized.

  The mites are mostly 0.4 to 1 mm long. In particular, it is house dust mites that mainly inhabit the homes, which parasitize in the fibers and inhabit the human skin as a nutrient source.

  Excretions generated from the above mites and fine guanine harmful proteins excreted from italics are very important allergens, and when inhaled into the human body, they cause allergic rhinitis and asthma, and are in contact with the skin Then, various allergic dermatitis such as atopic dermatitis develops. For these reasons, it has recently become necessary to remove mites that live on bedding or bed sheets.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a rotary punch brush module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state in which the rotary punch brush module according to an embodiment of the present invention is assembled. .

  The rotary punch brush module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a cleaner head or a handy cleaner body.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary punch brush module 100 of this embodiment includes a sterilization lamp 110, a shaft 120, and a rotary brush 130.

  The sterilizing lamp 110 is formed in a long cylinder shape so as to have a length in one direction, and irradiates light capable of sterilizing bacteria and microorganisms.

  Here, as the light that can be sterilized, ultraviolet light that can effectively remove harmful substances with a sterilizing power about 1,600 times that of sunlight may be applied. However, in this embodiment, the light irradiated from the sterilizing lamp 110 is not limited to ultraviolet rays, and any light can be applied as long as it can sterilize bacteria and microorganisms.

  A terminal 112 that can receive electric power from the outside may be formed on at least one side of the sterilizing lamp 110. In the drawings of the present embodiment, an example in which the terminal 112 is formed on both sides of the sterilizing lamp 110 is shown, but the terminal 112 may be formed only on one side of the sterilizing lamp 110.

  The shaft 120 is formed long in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the sterilizing lamp 110, and an inner hole into which the sterilizing lamp 110 is inserted is formed at the center of the shaft 120. The shaft 120 rotates around the central axis of the shaft 120.

  Therefore, a rotation motor 140 that is mechanically connected to the shaft 120 and provides a rotational force to the shaft 120 may be provided inside the housing unit 200 described later. Further, a rotation connecting portion 228 that mechanically connects the rotation motor 140 and the shaft 120 may be disposed between the shaft 120 and the rotation motor 140.

  Here, the sterilizing lamp 110 and the shaft 120 may be separated from each other. That is, when the rotation motor 140 is driven in a state where the sterilization lamp 110 and the shaft 120 are not coupled to each other, the sterilization lamp 110 can be rotated independently only by the shaft 120 in a fixed state.

  The shaft 120 may have a through hole 122 so that the light from the sterilizing lamp 110 can be exposed to the outside. The through holes 122 may be formed between the rotating brushes 130 arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, and may be formed long in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 120.

  Thereby, even if the shaft 120 rotates, the microorganisms and bacteria existing in the cleaning target surface and the contaminants separated from the cleaning target surface can be sterilized by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the through-hole 122.

  On the other hand, the rotating brush 130 of the present embodiment is coupled to the shaft 120 and rotates together with the rotation of the shaft 120, and plays a role of sweeping the surface to be cleaned while generating dust from the surface to be cleaned by hitting the surface to be cleaned. To do. The rotating brush 130 may have a length in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 120 and may be radially arranged on the outer side of the shaft 120 so as to be spaced apart from each other along the circumferential direction.

  As a material of the rotating brush 130, a flexible material such as rubber or silicon may be applied. However, the material of the rotating brush 130 is not limited to the above, and any material may be used as long as the surface to be cleaned can be struck by rotation to generate dust.

  A plurality of coupling grooves 124 into which a part of the rotating brush 130 is inserted for coupling with the rotating brush 130 may be formed in the shaft 120 along the longitudinal direction of the shaft 120. The rotating brush 130 may be formed with a coupling portion 132 that is inserted into the coupling groove 124.

  The coupling part 132 may have a shape that is extended at one end of the rotating brush 130 on both sides. And it may be formed long along the longitudinal direction of the rotating brush 130.

  Further, the coupling groove 124 may have a shape corresponding to the coupling portion 132 and may be open at one end. Thereby, after inserting one end of the rotating brush 130 into the opened portion of the coupling groove 124, the shaft 120 and the rotating brush 130 can be coupled by pushing the rotating brush 130 in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 120. .

  As described above, since the rotary brush 130 is configured to be detachably attached to the shaft 120, even if the rotary brush 130 is damaged due to long-term use, the rotary punch brush module 100 is not replaced as a whole, and the damaged rotation is not replaced. Since only the brush 130 can be separated and partially replaced and repaired, overall maintenance and repair costs can be reduced.

  FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which a rotary punch brush module according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a part of a cleaner, and FIG. 4 is a rotary punch brush according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view which shows the state in which the module was applied to some vacuum cleaners.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the vacuum cleaner or the vacuum cleaner head including the rotary punch brush module 100 of the present embodiment forms an appearance, and the housing portion 200 in which the rotary punch brush module 100 described above is disposed is provided. Can be included.

  The housing part 200 may roughly include a lower housing 210, an upper casing (not shown), and a side housing 220.

Further, the side housing 220 may be provided with sockets 222 and 224 that are coupled to the terminal 112 of the sterilizing lamp 110 and supply power to the sterilizing lamp 110. The sockets 222 and 224 are fixed to the side housing 220 and do not rotate. That is, the sterilization lamp 110 does not rotate.

  In the present embodiment, one of the sockets 222 and 224 connected to both sides of the sterilizing lamp 110 may be fixed to the housing part 200, and the remaining one may be detachable. Hereinafter, the socket fixed to the housing part 200 is referred to as a first socket 222, and the detachable socket is referred to as a second socket 224.

  The second socket 224 may be coupled to the socket cover 226. The socket cover 226 may couple the upper housing (not shown) and the lower housing 210 on the opposite side of the side housing 220. At the same time, the socket cover 226 coupled to the second socket 224 prevents the second socket 224 from being exposed to the outside, and serves to fix the sterilization lamp 110 coupled to the second socket 224 and the housing part 200. Can do. Further, the lower housing 210 may be provided with a socket support portion 218 for supporting the second socket 224.

  The side housing 220 may be coupled to the above-described rotational connecting portion 228 so as to be rotatable with respect to the side housing 220. The rotary connecting portion 228 is disposed so as to cover the outside of the first socket 222, but is not coupled to the first socket 222. Therefore, the rotation motor 140 can rotate only the rotation connecting part 228. Accordingly, the sterilization lamp 110 does not rotate, and only the shaft 120 disposed outside the sterilization lamp 110 can rotate.

  The vacuum cleaner including the rotary punch brush module 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described above.

  In the rotary punch brush module 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the shaft 120 mechanically connected to the rotary motor 140 is rotated by the drive of the rotary motor 140, and is coupled to the shaft 120 by the rotation of the shaft 120. The plurality of rotating brushes 130 can hit the surface to be cleaned. At the moment when the rotary brush 130 strikes the surface to be cleaned, various contaminants attached to the surface to be cleaned, such as dust, fine dust, yellow sand material, bacteria, and insects, are separated by the striking force of the rotary brush 130.

  Further, the contaminants are swept away by the continuous rotation of the rotating brush 130 and can be moved to the suction port (not shown) side.

  At the same time, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the sterilizing lamp 110 pass through the through-hole 122 and reach the surface to be cleaned, thereby sterilizing microorganisms, pests, and bacteria present on the surface to be cleaned. In addition, the contaminants sucked into the vacuum cleaner are also irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and microorganisms, pests, bacteria, and the like contained therein are sterilized.

  As a result, the surface to be cleaned can be sterilized, and bacteria and pests can be prevented from adhering to and breeding around the inlet (not shown).

  FIG. 5 is a view schematically showing a conventional handy cleaner.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a handy bedding cleaner. As shown in FIG. 5, the conventional handy bedding cleaner has a detection unit 40 for detecting harmful substances and a surface to be cleaned. Then, a hitting unit 30 for separating the contaminants from the surface to be cleaned, a brush 10 for sweeping out the contaminants attached to the surface to be cleaned, and an ultraviolet lamp 20 for sterilizing various pests and bacteria included in the contaminants are disposed. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the brush 10 and the ultraviolet lamp 20 are respectively disposed in the conventional cleaner. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the volume of the vacuum cleaner becomes very large.

  On the other hand, according to the rotary punch brush module 100 of the present embodiment, the disinfection lamp 110 is disposed in the shaft 120, so that the vacuum cleaner or the vacuum cleaner head can be downsized while having the same function as the conventional one.

  Such a rotary punch brush module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a vacuum cleaner head of a general vacuum cleaner, and can also be applied to a handy vacuum cleaner. It can also be applied to.
