DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel cleaner, and more particularly to a cleaning method using steam for cleaning dirty floors, mats, sheets and the like for business use, and a multi-cleaner therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a service station or the like has provided a service for cleaning the inside of a vehicle, and a service staff has entered the vehicle and removes dust and dirt with a suction-type vacuum cleaner.

[0003] However, dust and debris that have entered the sheet fabric or seam cannot be removed simply by suction, and if stains or the like adhere to the sheet due to eating and drinking in a vehicle, they are completely removed. It is not possible to improve the service.

[0004]

Although a service of spraying a detergent and wiping a sheet or the like has been added, the sheet portion becomes wet because the detergent is liquid.
Not only is it impractical for cleaning at a service station, but the carpet changes color only in that area. Therefore, conventionally, as shown in JP-A-63-181730 and JP-A-64-27526, there is a technique for jetting steam with a nozzle to effectively dissolve and easily remove dirt. There was no drying means, so it was not suitable for service stations.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-cleaner using steam capable of performing a drying process on the spot, and to solve the above problems at once.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a multi-cleaner having a cleaning function using steam captures dust and dirt on the surface of the area to be cleaned by air suction, and then stops the air suction to stop the area to be cleaned. Is a multi-cleaner that exposes spots and dust in the area to be cleaned by wiping out the surface, wipes out the exposed body, and then performs drying processing on the area to be cleaned by blowing air. Is provided,
In the passage inside the multi-cleaner that connects the suction port and the outlet, a filter and a fan rotated by a motor are interposed in series, and a one-way airflow from the suction port to the outlet is formed. , With nozzle at the tip
Long hoses or pipes,
Outlet pipe and its extension is a single multi-pipe.
A valve body for switching the pipe is provided in the portion provided in the vicinity.
By selectively switching to the suction port or the air outlet, the area to be cleaned away from the multi-cleaner can be suction-cleaned and blow-dried.

[0007]

[Action] After removing the main dust and dirt by air suction, the steam is jetted to the area to be cleaned, so that stains and dust are exposed, the exposed body is wiped, and air is blown to the area to be cleaned. Since that area is dried, more complete cleaning can be realized without the presence of a wet spot in the area to be cleaned. In addition, we use fan in multi-cleaner and filter air from suction port with filter,
Since the clean air is constantly discharged from the outlet, the hose or the pipe is selectively switched between the suction port and the outlet, so that the suction cleaning and the drying with the quick and clean air can be performed. In addition, since the remote area is cleaned using a long hose or pipe from the multi-cleaner, the area to be cleaned where the nozzles are located is not affected by the air flow from the outlet and suction port, which adversely affects cleaning and drying operations. There is no giving or dust. In addition, air absorption
Pulling and blowing can be performed only by operating the valve body for pipe switching.
It is not necessary to connect hoses, etc.
Multi-hose can perform consistent cleaning work.
