FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cleaning apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a tiltable member 132 of the cleaning apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is opened . 1 and 2, the cleaning unit 170 is indicated by a dotted line. 3 and 4 are a front view and a side view, respectively, of the cleaning apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG.

1 to 4, the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes a main body 110, a rotation unit 130, and a cleaning unit 170. 1 and 2, the cleaning apparatus 100 includes a pressing portion, and the pressing portion has a pressing button 158. [

When the user presses the push button 158, the plurality of tiltable members 132 rotate in the state of FIG. 1 and are spread apart as shown in FIG. The rotation of the rotation member 132 enlarges the cleaning part 170 outwardly so that the inner surface and the like of the cleaning object such as the container can be cleaned while being pressurized.

In the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the tiltable member 132 is determined in accordance with the degree of pressing of the pressure button 158.

Accordingly, the user can determine the extent to which the cleaning unit 170 is expanded outward while adjusting the degree of pressing the push button 158.

Accordingly, the user can adjust the size of the washing unit 170 by adjusting the degree to which the pressing button 158 is pressed. Accordingly, the user can wash the washing unit 170 while deforming the washing unit 170 corresponding to the shape and size of the washing object. .

5 is a cross-sectional view of the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of Fig. And FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the tiltable member 132 is rotated in FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the main body 110 has a hollow rod shape and corresponds to a handle of the cleaning apparatus 100. The body portion 110 includes a cap 112, a through hole 116, and a fixing protrusion 118.

The cap 112 is detachably coupled to one end of the main body 110. A pressing line 156 of the pressing portion 150 is coupled to the inner surface of the cap 112.

The through hole 116 corresponds to a hole formed on the upper side of the main body 110. A part of the pressing button 158 of the pressing portion 150 is protruded to the outside through the through hole 116.

The fixing protrusion 118 is formed in the longitudinal direction inside the main body portion 110. The fixing protrusion 118 is formed with a groove (not shown) into which the pressing line 156 is inserted. The pressurizing line 156 moves upward and downward while the pressurizing line 156 is inserted into the groove formed in the fixing protrusion 118,

A step 122 is formed at the distal end of the fixing protrusion 118. 5 and 7, when the pressing button 158 is lowered to press the pressing line 156, the pressing line 156 is lowered while being caught by the step 122, The pressing line 156 is pulled up and the pressing member 152 is raised.

The step 122 can be formed at a position such that the pushing projection 164 can be almost brought into contact with the rotation of the pushing button 158. [ Of course, the rotation of the push button 158 is not disturbed by the step 122.

A plurality of tiltable members 132 are rotatably coupled to the ends of the main body 110. The tiltable member 132 may be integrally formed with the body 110 or formed separately and then rotatably engaged. When the pivoting member 132 is integrally formed with the main body 110 by injection or the like, the structure of the main body 110 and the pivoting member 132 can be simplified, .

A pressing line 156 of the pressing portion 150 is located inside the body portion 110. The pressurizing line 156 can move in the vertical direction while being inserted into the fixing protrusion 118. A part of the push button 158 is located inside the main body 110. A hole (not shown) through which the pressing line 156 can pass is formed at the end of the main body 110.

In the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the main body 110 is illustrated as having a hollow pipe shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The body portion according to the present invention may also be formed by a member having a semicircular cross section or the like.

The rotary part 130 is rotatably coupled to the end of the main body part 110 and is urged upward by the pressing part 150 so as to spread apart. The washing unit 170 is coupled to the outer circumference of the swivel unit 130. The washing unit 170 is supported by the swivel unit 130 to change its shape and volume.

The turning portion 130 includes a tiltable member 132 and an elastic member 146. [

The number of the pivoting members 132 is not limited as long as the shape and volume of the pivoting member 132 can be changed by supporting the cleaning unit 170. [ The two or more tiltable members 132 have the same shape and can be arranged at equal intervals. Of course, the two or more tiltable members 132 may have different shapes or may be disposed at mutually different intervals.

The pivoting member 132 may be formed of a material having elasticity, for example, plastic resin or the like. In this case, since the pivoting member 132 is deformed by the elastic force even when the inner surface of the container (not shown) is pressed, the inner surface of the container can be prevented from being damaged and the pressing force against the inner surface of the container can be further increased, do.

The tiltable member 132 rotates about the rotation center 134. [ The rotation center 134 of the pivoting member 132 can be pivoted by integrally connecting the main body 110 and the pivoting member 132 with a thin thickness that can be elastically deformed based on the material characteristics of the main body 110 (See Figs. 5 and 7). Of course, the pivoting member 132 is not integrally formed with the main body 110, but may be coupled to the main body 110 by a pin (not shown) corresponding to the rotation axis or by a hinge structure (not shown) (110). ≪ / RTI >

An upper locking protrusion 136 and a lower locking protrusion 138 protrude from the outer surface of the rotating member 132, respectively. An upper end portion corresponding to an inlet of the washing unit 170 is caught in the upper catching protrusion 136. [ The lower locking protrusion 138 presses the inner surface of the cleaning part 170 outward to change its shape and volume.

An inner tapered surface 142 formed to be inclined is formed on the inner surface of the upper portion of the tiltable member 132. The inner tapered surface 142 corresponds to the pressing tapered surface 154 of the pressing member 152 and when the pressing member 152 is raised, the pressing tapered surface 154 presses the inner tapered surface 142 upward . As a result, the tiltable member 132 is rotated outward while being rotated at an angle (see FIG. 7).

An elastic member 146 is coupled to the upper portion of the upper locking protrusion 136 on the outer side of the pivoting member 132. The elastic member 146 may be formed by a rubber ring or the like having an elastic force. The elastic members 146 are coupled to all of the pivotable members 132 to elastically bind them. Therefore, when the pressing member 152 does not receive the upward pressing force, the pivoting member 132 is in the state of being maximally contracted by the elastic force of the elastic member 146 without rotating as shown in FIG.

A groove (not shown) may be formed on the outer side of the pivoting member 132 to allow the elastic member 146 to be inserted and fixed.

Although the elastic member 146 in the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is illustrated as being coupled adjacent to the rotation center 134 of the tiltable member 132, it is needless to say that the position thereof may be variously changed. For example, the elastic member 146 may be coupled to the lower end of the tiltable member 132. [ The cleaning device 100 according to the present embodiment may not include the elastic member 146. In this case, when the cleaning part 170 has an elastic force and deforms as shown in FIG. 7, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 5, < / RTI >

The pressing portion 150 is positioned inside the main body 110 and presses the rotating member 132 of the rotating portion 130 to adjust its rotation angle. The pressing portion 150 includes a pressing member 152, a pressing line 156, and a pressing button 158.

The push button 158 is located in the through hole 116 of the main body 110 and is rotatably coupled to the main body 110. [ The push button 158 may be integrally formed with the main body 110 in the same manner as the pivoting member 132 or separately formed from the main body 110 and then rotatably engaged. The push button 158 rotates about the rotation center 162. [

The pressing button 158 has a pressing projection 164 protruding downward. The pressing projection 164 is in contact with the pressing line 156 and when the pressing button 158 is pressed by the user, the pressing line 156 is pressed downward to raise the pressing member 152.

One end of the pressure line 156 is connected to the pressure member 152 to transmit the pressing force of the pressure button 158 to the pressure member 152. [ That is, the pressure button 158 presses the pressure line 156 to the step 122, which causes the pressure member 152 coupled to one end of the pressure line 156 to rise. The pressing line 156 pressed by the pressing button 158 can be in contact with the inner surface of the main body 110.

The pressurization line 156 may be formed by a deformable wire, a piano wire, a fishing line, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The pressing member 152 presses the tilting member 132 while rotating linearly by pressing the pressing line 156 in accordance with the movement (specifically, rotation) of the pressing button 158. That is, the pressure member 152 is pulled up by the pressure line 156, in which the inner tapered surface 142 of all the tiltable members 132 is pressed upward. The pivoting member 132, which is pushed upward by the pressing member 152, is rotated by the same angle as shown in Fig.

The pressing member 152 has a pressing tapered surface 154 corresponding to the inner tapered surface 142 of the tiltable member 132. The pressing tapered surface 154 corresponds to the inclined surface formed around the pressing member 152. The pressing tapered surface 154 is formed corresponding to the number of the tiltable members 132 so that the plurality of tiltable members 132 can be pressed. Therefore, the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes four pivoting members 132, correspondingly, the pressing member 152 also has four pressure-tapered surfaces 154.

The cleaning unit 170 is coupled to the rotation unit 130 to clean the object to be cleaned (not shown). The cleaning unit 170 may be formed of various materials such as a scrubber or a sponge. The inlet corresponding to the upper end of the cleaning part 170 is caught by the upper latching protrusion 136 of the pivoting member 132 and fixed to the pivoting part 130.

The inside of the cleaning part 170 is pressed by the pivoting member 132 to deform its shape and volume. When the plurality of tiltable members 132 rotate in the state of FIG. 5 and spread apart as shown in FIG. 7, the lower end of the cleaning unit 170 is also deformed in shape and volume corresponding to the shape of the tiltable member 132 do. Accordingly, the cleaning unit 170 can be deformed corresponding to the shape of the object to be cleaned, and the object to be cleaned can be cleaned by pressing the inner surface or the like.

The cleaning unit 170 may be formed of a material having an elastic force, for example, elastic fibers. In the case where the cleaning unit 170 is formed of a material having elasticity, when the force acting on the pressure button 158 is removed, the tiltable member 132 is rotated by the elastic force of the cleaning unit 170, As shown in FIG.

The cleaning portion 170 may be formed as one having a pocket shape with an open mouth (see Figs. 1 to 2 and Figs. 8 to 10). And the cleaning portion may be configured to be inserted individually into each tiltable member 132. [

Hereinafter, the use of the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG.

FIG.

The object to be cleaned illustrated in Figs. 8 to 10 is a bottle 190, which generally has a shape smaller than that of the main body. And the bottom surface 192 of the bottle 190 has a convex shape. Of course, the objects to be cleaned by the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment are not limited to bottles.

Referring to Fig. 8, the pivoting member 132 is prevented from spreading to insert the cleaning apparatus 100 into the inside of the bottle 190. That is, if the pressure button 158 is not pressed, the pivoting member 132 is not opened, and the pivoting member 170 and the pivoting member 130 are sized to enter the entrance of the bottle 190.

9, in order to clean the inner surface of the bottle 190 after the cleaning apparatus 100 is inserted into the bottle 190, the cleaning portion 170 is moved in a transverse plane of the bottle 190 (for example, Circle) size. To this end, when the push button 158 is pressed to allow the plurality of tiltable members 132 to spread apart, the cleaning unit 170 is pressed by the tiltable member 132 and comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottle 190. Since the inner surface of the cleaning portion 170 is pressed by the tiltable member 132, the cleaning portion 170 can be cleaned while pressing the inner surface of the bottle 190.

The cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can adjust the pressing force on the inner surface of the bottle 190 that is the object to be cleaned by adjusting the pressing force on the pressing button 158. [ That is, the pressing force against the pressing line 156 can be adjusted in accordance with the pressing force against the pressing button 158, whereby the rising length of the pressing member 152 connected to the pressing line 156 can also be adjusted. The rotating angle of the pivoting member 132 is changed according to the rising length of the pressing member 152, so that the pressing force against the inner surface of the bottle 190, which is the object to be cleaned, can be adjusted.

As described above, the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has an advantage that the cleaning can be performed while adjusting the pressing force against the object to be cleaned by using the pressing button 158. [ Also, the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has an advantage that the cleaning unit 170 can be deformed according to the shape of the object to be cleaned by using the push button 158.

10, in order to clean the bottom surface 192 of the bottle 190 as a cleaning object, the rotation angle of the rotation member 132 is adjusted to a predetermined angle (the maximum rotation angle of the tiltable member 132 shown in FIG. 9) And then the cleaning unit 170 is brought into close contact with the bottom surface 192. As shown in FIG. Since the shape of the cleaning part 170 is easily deformed by fabric or sponge, the bottom surface of the cleaning part 170 is deformed and closely contacted with the shape of the bottom surface 192.

Hereinafter, a cleaning apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

11 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating the main body 210 and the pressing portion 250 of the cleaning apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The cleaning apparatus according to the fourth embodiment has a structure in which the cap 420 is screwed to the end portion of the body portion 410 and can adjust its position. As a result, the cleaning apparatus according to the present embodiment can finely adjust the rising length of the pressing member (refer to reference numeral 152 in FIGS. 5 and 7) connected to the pressure line 456.

The main body 410 includes a first through hole 412, a second through hole 414, an engaging member 416, and a cap 420.

The first through hole 412 is formed on one side of the body 410 and provides a passage through which the push button 458 can pivot into the body 410. The second through hole 414 is formed on the other side of the main body 410 and includes a passage 464 corresponding to the end of the press button 458, Lt; / RTI >

The latching member 416 is formed inside the body portion 410 and corresponds to a portion where the pressing line 456 is caught. 13, when the pressing button 458 is pressed to press the pressing line 456, the pressing line 456 is caught by the engaging member 416, and a pressing member (not shown) 5 and reference numeral 152 in Fig. 7). As a result, the pivoting member (not shown) rotates at a certain angle.

At the end of the engaging member 416, a fixing engaging projection 418 is formed. The rotary stopper 462 of the push button 458 is hooked on the fixed stopper 418. [ Even if the urging force to the urging button 458 is removed by the engaging structure of the fixing engaging projection 418 and the rotation engaging projection 462, the pressing button 458 maintains the pressing state with respect to the pressing line 456 . As a result, the user can clean the object to be cleaned while easily rotating the rotating member (see FIG. 2).

A cap 420 is screwed to an end of the body 410. A thread 422 is formed around the cap 420 and a thread (not shown) is formed in the body 410 in correspondence thereto. And a pressurizing line 456 is coupled to the inner surface of the cap 420. Thus, the user can adjust the tension of the pressure line 456 while rotating the cap 420. When the pressure line 456 is stretched or when the position of a pressure member (not shown) coupled to the end of the pressure line 456 is to be finely adjusted, the user may rotate the cap 420.

The pressing portion 450 includes a pressing line 456 and a pressing button 458. Since the pressure line 456 is similar to the pressure line 156 of the cleaning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The pressing button 458 is rotatably coupled to the body 410 and may be integrally formed with the body 410 by injection molding or the like. The push button 458 has a movement stopper 462, a release portion 464, and a through hole 466.

The movement locking protrusion 462 is formed at the end of the push button 458 and is a portion that is caught by the locking protrusion 418 of the locking member 416. [ 13, when the push button 458 is pressed, the movable stopper 462 is caught by the fixed stopper 418, so that even if the force externally provided is removed, the push button 458 is pressed 456, respectively.

The engaging state of the movable engaging projection 462 with respect to the fixed engaging projection 418 can be released by pressing the releasing portion 464 in the direction of the arrow in Fig. When the releasing portion 464 is pressed in the direction of the arrow, the engaging state of the movable engaging projection 462 with respect to the fixed engaging projection 418 is released, and the state shown in Fig. 13 is obtained. Because of this, since the pressing force by the pressing button 458 is not applied to the pressing line 456, the pressing member (not shown in the drawing, not shown in FIG. 5) 152 of the pressing portion also descends, (See FIG. 5).

A through hole 466 is formed in the pressing button 458. The through hole 466 is passed through a pressure line 456. The pressing line 456 inserted into the through hole 466 is pulled by the rotation of the pressing button 458 to raise the pressing member (refer to 152 in FIG. 5) coupled to the end portion.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. It will be understood that the invention may be varied and varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
