Description

{The disinfection structure in a vacuum cleaner}

The present invention relates to a suction part of a vacuum cleaner that removes foreign substances such as dust by air with suction of external air by the suction force of the motor, in particular, a net structure that can selectively filter foreign substances sucked into the suction part, bacteria, mold And it is to propose a sanitary structure that directly sterilize ticks and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional vacuum cleaner can be largely divided into a main body 1 and a suction part 2, and the suction part 2 includes a bottom suction tool 3, an extension pipe 4, and a handle part. (7), a switch (5) and a flexible suction hose (6). In particular, the floor suction tool (3) can be used according to the purpose and application by varying the shape of the floor cleaning, corner cleaning, carpet cleaning, such as the living room, the rest except floor cleaning is used as an auxiliary means (tool) . However, most commercial vacuum cleaners do not have safety devices that can filter small items (electronic parts, valuables, etc.) or socks, and sanitary functions that can disinfect ticks. to be.

Vacuum cleaners are used for the purpose of inhaling and cleaning foreign substances with strong suction power (Figure 1). When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the motor is driven so that foreign matters and the like are forcibly sucked together with air from the outside. At this time, the sucked air flows out of the main body through the floor suction tool (3) → extension pipe (4) → handle (7) → flexible wrinkle hose (6) → main body (dust bag → motor air intake port 1 driving room). Form an outgoing flow path.

Rarely, some vacuum cleaners have a fixed net structure that can filter small items or socks on the floor suction tool 3, which can be quickly found to be inefficient due to the following reasons. First, when the floor suction tool (3) is in close contact with the floor, there is no need to install a net structure because it is not easy to suck small items or socks. Second, in order to completely catch small items, etc., a two-stage net structure (e.g., one stage: 5m diameter and two stage diameter 3mm) with different net hole sizes was installed and fixed, which is why the floor suction tool (3) It is inefficient because it is often blocked by paper manipulation and hair.

For this reason, most vacuum cleaners do not have a net structure, and in the end, the situation is still helpless in the event that small items such as valuables disappear or the suction part is blocked by a handkerchief or the like. On the other hand, it is usually more than one day (longer than a week) until the vacuum cleaner is used again.In the meantime, ticks and germs can come out of the dust bag and spread throughout the room. Since it is infected with mites, bacteria, and fungi, it is necessary to install a function to sterilize not only the dust bag but also the flexible wrinkle hose 6 in a normal vacuum cleaner.

In the case of a commercial vacuum cleaner with an ultraviolet sterilizer, a sterilizer is installed in the main body 1, but it is not suitable for killing mold, bacteria and mites in wet dust outside the dust bag. In addition, the commercial vacuum cleaner has an antibacterial function that treats part of the dust collecting chamber with kimchi lactic acid bacteria fermentation product, but it is inefficient because it does not directly mix with garbage such as dust. In addition, in both cases, the inside of the main body 1 has a disadvantage in that the inside of the wrinkle hose 6 which is easily inhabited by bacteria or mold cannot be sterilized.

Conventional commercial vacuum cleaners have the following problems. First, while cleaning the floor in the form of a finished product, the floor suction tool (3) and the extension pipe (4) may be removed to clean the corner of the living room or the desk, where small items or socks on the desk are sucked into the vacuum cleaner or the apartment wall. In the case of a vacuum cleaning system installed in the house, socks often block the internal pipes of the wall. Second, in wet areas, mites, molds, and bacteria, along with dust, are also sucked into the dust bags inside the vacuum cleaner and multiply therein, and the air supply spreads out of the vacuum cleaner and pollutes the interior. In particular, the wrinkle hose (6) has a high probability of breeding bacteria or fungi.

Although commercial products and industrial property rights have been introduced to complement the above two problems, they have to consider the following points because the problem solving means (net structure, sanitary structure) are not properly selected.

First, there is an example in which a net structure for filtering small items or socks is installed in a vacuum cleaner bottom suction tool (3) in two stages (different size of net hole). It is close, often blocked by paper manipulation and hair, and inefficient. Rather, there is no net structure in the floor suction tool (3).

Second, in order to prevent the growth of mold, bacteria and ticks in the vacuum cleaner dust bag, there is an example in which an ultraviolet sterilizer or kimchi lactic acid bacteria antibacterial device is installed inside the main body (1), but these are installed outside the dust bag, It is not direct to inhibit the growth of bacteria. In particular, it is impossible to antibacterial or disinfect the inside of the wrinkle hose (6) outside the main body.

Deriving and arranging the solution from the two problems mentioned in the 'problem to solve' above is as follows.

With respect to the first problem, it is possible to attach or detach the net structure to a portion other than the floor suction tool 3 and the auxiliary tool 31 (extension pipe 4 or handle 7).

As a solution to the second problem, it is possible to put a disinfectant into the dust bag to directly remove the mold, bacteria and mites in the dust bag, but also to sterilize the flexible wrinkle hose (6), It can also be mounted or removed from the vacuum cleaner.

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner inlet net and sanitary structure. In the case of a commercial vacuum cleaner, the floor is cleaned in the form of a finished product, and then the floor suction tool (3) and the extension pipe (4) are removed to clean the corner of the living room or the desk. It gets sucked in and eventually gets lost. In moist areas, mites, molds, and bacteria, along with the dust, are also sucked into the dust bags inside the vacuum cleaner and multiply inside the vacuum cleaner.

Applying the net structure of the present invention, first, it is possible to filter out small products and socks very efficiently. Second, when the socks block the inlet, the net structure is opened along the inside of the extension pipe 4 or the handle portion 7 to open a hole formed in the side, it is possible to prevent the overheating of the motor by allowing air to flow through it. Third, the use of the sanitary structure for disinfectant injection of the present invention, because it is directly sprayed on the rinse hose as well as inside the dust bag of the vacuum cleaner, the sterilization effect is very large, as a result can be comfortable indoor environment. Fourth, the present invention is very economical because it can be produced in the form of modules to be added to existing commercial products.

Figure 5. Partial nomenclature and related functions for an embodiment of the sanitary structure of the present invention (section).

The present invention relates to a net and a sanitary structure of a vacuum cleaner suction port. The commercial vacuum cleaner shown in FIG. 1 is comprised of the main body 1 and the suction part 2 which can be attached to or detached from the connector of the main body 1, and this suction part 2 is a switch 5 Handle portion 7 having a, the upper end of the extension pipe 4 connected to the handle portion 7, the bottom suction tool 3 connected to the lower end 42 of the extension pipe 4, and the main body 1 It consists of a flexible corrugated hose (6) connecting the connector and the handle portion (7). In addition, it is provided with other auxiliary tools 31 that can be selectively coupled with the lower end 42 of the extension pipe 4 to remove small foreign matter stuck to the window frame or corners.

In order to overcome the problems (referred to in the 'problem solving means') of the existing vacuum cleaners, a specific embodiment of the present invention is presented, and the functions and features thereof will be described in detail as follows.

From the solution to the first problem, when installing the net structure on the floor suction tool (3) and all the auxiliary tools (31), it is uneconomical, because the two-stage net structure configured to increase the efficiency of the hook is too close and frequently blocked Rather, cleaning ability is poor. Because of this, there is a disadvantage that the net structure should be cleaned frequently. In addition, people's habits of use, mainly when the floor is cleaned in the form of finished products (figure 1), but when cleaning the desk to remove the extension pipe (4) and the floor suction tool (3) from the finished product handle (7) Inhalation directly with () It is a cumbersome to change the auxiliary tools during cleaning, so it is common to remove them.

As can be seen from the analysis, the bottom suction tool (3) and all the auxiliary tools (31), not the extension pipe (4) is installed at the bottom of the first stage, and the other one (two-level net structure) is the handle portion ( It is desirable to maximize the locking function of handkerchief or small items by installing at the bottom of 7). This is more economical than installing a net in the floor suction tool 3 and all the auxiliary tools 31, and by placing the two (one and two step net) away from each other to maintain the air suction input, the efficiency of the net There is an advantage to increase. 2 is a visualization of the net structure 8 of the present invention, one net structure 8 is installed on the lower end 42 of the extension pipe 4, the other 8 of the handle portion 7 It is installed at the bottom. The net structure 8 is a structure having a net 82 therein, the body is cylindrical so as to fit in the lower end of the extension pipe 4 or the handle portion 7, the upper end of the net structure 8 is like a funnel It is made in the shape of, but the groove is formed in the top funnel (85) to make it elastic and fixed in the extension pipe (4) or the handle (7).

In addition, as shown in Fig. 2, the net structure 8 is able to slide and move in the inner passage of the handle portion 7 or the lower end of the extension pipe 42, and a cylindrical height at the bottom of the net structure 8; The recess groove 81 is formed long in the direction perpendicular to the direction. When the suction port is clogged with the net structure 8 covered with a handkerchief or a sock, the net structure 8 is gripped by the vacuum pressure of the cleaner. And the vacuum pressure is released when the suction groove 81 is in contact with the leakage hole 71 while being sucked along the inner passage of the lower end of the extension pipe 42 (FIG. 3). The leakage hole 71 corresponds to the mesh leakage groove 81 and is formed in the handle portion 7 and the lower end of the extension pipe 42. In addition, the stopper 72 is formed on the handle portion 7 and the lower end of the extension pipe 42, thereby preventing the net structure 8 from going deeper. The hook 83 shown in FIG. 2 is used to take out the net structure 8 when the net structure 8 enters the stopper 72 or 44 position in the handle portion 7 or the extension pipe 4. .

On the other hand, the size of the mesh hole is designed in the range of approximately 5 ~ 10 mm, but makes the net hole size of the two stages smaller than the first stage. If it is smaller than this, it is frequently clogged with pieces of paper, hair and dust, and if the hole is larger than this, the meaning and effect of the net are reduced. In addition, since the net structure 8 is made to be mounted and detached in the handle portion 7 and the lower end of the extension pipe 42, it is also a feature and advantage of the present invention can be installed in addition to a conventional vacuum cleaner.

As a solution to the second problem, as a method of directly removing the mold, bacteria and mites in the dust bag, it is possible to inject pesticides and disinfectants into the dust bag, but a flexible wrinkle hose with many folded portions ( 6) Form sanitary utensils in a place that can be sterilized. The sanitary structure 9 is installed in the handle portion 7 directly connected to the pleat hose 6 in accordance with the above design condition that the pleat hose 6 must also be sterilized, as shown in FIG. By forming, the predetermined injection chemicals 10 were sprayed and designed to be sucked into the pleated hose 6 and sucked into the dust bag. This is because the vortex of the intake air is formed in the bent portion 73 so that the chemicals spread well.

Here, the drug 10 is composed of predetermined drugs and fragrances that can kill ticks, fungi and bacteria, these are built in the drug capsule 11 as compressed liquefied gas, to form a separate consumable module, the drug The capsule outlet 111 of the capsule 11 adopts a press-opening / closing method in which the medicine 10 is injected when the capsule outlet 111 is pressed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the medicine capsule 11 was separately installed in the sanitary structure 9 to be used, and the sanitary structure 9 is configured as follows. In order to disinfect and disinfect a predetermined chemical (10) in the handle portion (7) connected to the main body (1) of the vacuum cleaner through a flexible pleat hose (6), the body 1 and the pleat hose (6). To form a sanitary structure (9), the sanitary structure (9) is a medicine capsule (11) containing the drug 10, a wrapper 93 surrounding the medicine capsule 11, the wrapper 93 of A nozzle rod 91 connected to one end to introduce the drug 10 into the handle portion 7, and a support portion 92 connected to the nozzle rod 91 to press the outlet 111 of the drug capsule 11. And a trigger module 95 covering the opposite side of the wrapper 93 and pushing the medicine capsule 11 toward the support part 92, wherein the trigger module 95 is pressed to press the medicine capsule 11. A portion 98, a position limiting portion 96 for limiting the operating range of the pressing portion 98, a spring 97 for pressing the bottom of the medicine capsule 11 in the covering portion 93 so as not to be loosened, and The pressing part 9 8), the position limiting part 96, and the wrapper lid 94 for holding the relative position between the spring 97 (Fig. 5).

On the other hand, the sanitary structure (9) is made of a module to be attached to and detachable to the handle portion 7 of the conventional vacuum cleaner, to make a shape optimized for the conventional handle portion 7, and fastened to enable mounting A mechanism 12 (eg threaded assembly, etc.) is also made. Thus, the drug capsule 11 can also be installed and used in the sanitary structure (9) is also another advantage of the present invention.
