Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mop attachment structure of a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a mop attachment structure that enables a mop of a vacuum cleaner to be installed so as to protrude from a variable position, The present invention relates to a variable protruding mop mounting structure for a vacuum cleaner.

Generally, a vacuum cleaner sucks dirt or dirt from a cleaning surface while moving the suction brush along a cleaning surface by using a suction force generated by a vacuum motor.

In addition, since a general vacuum cleaner requires a user to clean the vacuum cleaner while dragging the vacuum cleaner every day, the user is considerably inconvenient, and recently, a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans the vacuum cleaner while moving autonomously is widely used.

However, since the initial vacuum cleaner has some effect in removing the dust on the cleaning surface, it is impossible to remove the dirt (foreign matter or stains) adhering to the cleaning surface, so that the dust accumulated in the vacuum cleaner is removed first, It is necessary to remove the remaining stuck dirt by wiping the cleaning surface directly with a separate mop, so that there is an inconvenience that the user needs to perform a mop cleaning operation.

In order to solve the inconvenience of the mop operation of the user, the mop attachment structure 1 as shown in Fig. 1 is additionally provided in the vacuum cleaner. As the vacuum cleaner moves, the mop 2 provided on the mop attachment structure 1 is fixed Let them clean the dirt.

At this time, the mop attachment structure 1 of the vacuum cleaner with the mop attaches the mop 2 to the mop attachment structure 1 as shown in Fig. 1, and the entire lower end surface 3 of the mop is brought into close contact with the cleaned surface .

As a result, since the entire bottom surface 3 is in close contact with the cleaning surface, the entire bottom surface 3 is brought into close contact with the cleaning surface to some extent uniformly so that the entire bottom surface 3 is uniformly contaminated So that the new cleaned surface is cleaned with the contaminated mop bottom surface 3, so that it is often difficult to remove the dirt.

In addition, since the cleaning effect is excellent when there is moisture on the mop, the cleaning of the mop is performed by mounting the wet mop. In the conventional mop installation structure, the entire lower part of the mop comes into contact with the cleaning surface As the vacuum cleaner moves, the water in the mop is transferred to the cleaning surface through the entire lower part of the mop, and the moisture of the wet mop dries quickly, and as a result, the effect of removing the pollutant decreases with time. You must give.

In order to solve these problems, it is inconvenient to replace with a new mop from time to time, and there is an inconvenience that the contaminated mop should be cleaned from time to time. Of course, when the mop is a disposable mop, the cost of replacing the mop due to frequent replacement is also significant.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum cleaner with a vacuum cleaner with a vacuum cleaner, The present invention provides a variable protruding mop attachment structure for a vacuum cleaner that can extend a vacuum cleaner.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mop attachment structure for a vacuum cleaner, including a protrusion forming device for causing a mop to protrude at a sequential position as the mop is cleaned.

According to the present invention as described above, as the vacuum cleaner continues to move, the position of the protruded portion is moved to start contact with the clean surface with a clean mop portion, so that the dirt can be removed well.

Further, since the protruding portion protrudes the lower portion of the mop, the protruded lower portion of the mop is subjected to a pressure to be brought into close contact with the cleaning surface, so that the removal of the contaminants can be smoothened by such pressure wiping.

Then, only the lower part of the mop of the protruding portion comes into contact with the cleaned surface, and water is still present in the lower part of the mop where the protruded portion has moved, so that the contaminant removing effect is maintained.

As a result, by using the present invention as described above, the clean mop part is always cleaned, the pressure mopping becomes possible, and the moisture of the mop part remains, thereby maximizing the mop cleaning effect and extending the mop replacement period.

Fig. 6 shows that the projecting portion is protruded in a bimetallic manner in the mop installation structure of the present invention.
Fig. 7 shows that the protruding portion protrudes in the electromagnet system in the mop installation structure of the present invention.

First, the principle of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

A protruding portion 14 (protruding rod) is provided between the top plate 13 and the mop 11 (both ends are fixed to the front and rear edges of the top plate 13) as shown in the left side of FIG. 2, 14 is positioned at the position 15-1 so that the lower portion of the mop 11 comes into contact with the cleaning surface 10 at the position 15-1.

As the vacuum cleaner advances, only the lower portion 15-1 of the mop 11 comes into contact with the cleaning surface 10, so that only the lower portion of the mop 11 of the protruded position 15-1 is contaminated .

Next, when the portion of the position 15-1 under the mop 11 becomes considerably contaminated, the protruding portion 14 moves to the position 15-2.

Then, the lower part of the mop 11 at the position 15-2 where no contamination occurs is brought into contact with the cleaning surface 10, so that the cleaning surface 10 is cleaned by the clean position 15-2.

In this way, as shown in the right drawing of Fig. 2, the protrusion 14 sequentially moves to the position 15-1, the position 15-2, the position 15-3, the position 15-4, So that the cleaning surface 10 is cleaned.

As a result, as the vacuum cleaner continues to move, the position of the protruding portion 14 moves, and the cleaning cloth 10 is brought into contact with the clean mop portion so that the dirt can be removed well.

Since the protruding portion 14 protrudes from the lower portion of the mop 11, the lower portion of the mop 11 at this portion is strongly pressed by the protruding portion 14 against the cleaning surface 10, Compared to the case where the whole is in close contact with the cleaning surface, the tightening pressure becomes strong.

Therefore, in the present invention, by such a strong contact pressure, it is as if the user presses the mop and wipes off, and the pollutant removal is smoother.

Further, in the conventional mop installation structure (Fig. 1), the entire lower part of the wet mop is brought into contact with the cleaning surface, so that the water in the mop is transferred to the cleaning surface through the entire lower part of the mop as the vacuum cleaner moves, In the case of the present invention, only the lower portion of the mop 11 of the protruding portion 14 comes into contact with the cleaning surface 10, and the protruding portion 14 is moved to the position Water is still present in the lower part of the mop 11 and the pollutant removing effect is maintained.

The contamination state of the mop installation structure to which the principle of the present invention is applied is shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen that as the protrusion position sequentially moves, the contamination band is formed because the decontamination effect is increased at the protrusion position. At this time, these contaminant bands are also shown at positions 15-1, 15-2, 15-3, and 15-4 in the right drawing of Fig.

Various protrusion forming methods (apparatuses) for implementing the principle of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. FIG.

4 shows the movement of the projections in the mop installation structure of the present invention by using a screw structure. When the motor 20 rotates the spiral shaft 21, the spiral shaft 21 is moved in a male- The combined protrusion 22 is moved in accordance with the rotation of the spiral shaft 21.

2, but the motor 20 is controlled by the control circuit of the vacuum cleaner main body (not shown) so that the motor 20 is rotated at one time When the protrusions 22 are sequentially moved by several rotations, the contaminant bands shown in Figs. 2 and 3 are displayed. Of course, when the motor 20 is slowly rotated, the projections 22 are continuously and gradually moved.

5 shows the movement of the protruding portion to the belt in the mop installation structure of the present invention. The protruding portion 31 is fixed to the lower end of the belt 30, and a motor (not shown) 32, the belt 30 moves and the protrusion 31 moves.

5, and the motor 32 is controlled by a control circuit of a vacuum cleaner body (not shown) so as to rotate by several rotations at a time, so that the protrusions 31, The contaminant bands shown in Figs. 2 and 3 are displayed. Of course, when the motor 32 is slowly rotated, the projecting portion 31 is continuously and gradually moved.

In addition, FIG. 6 shows that the protruding portions are protruded in a bimetallic manner in the mop installation structure of the present invention. A plurality of such bimetallic structure pairs 40 and 41 are successively provided (ten in FIG. 6).

When the bimetal 44 fixed to the fixing plate 43 is heated by the heating wire 45 as shown enlarged in the ellipse, the bimetal 45 pushes the protrusion 46 downward, The control circuit of the vacuum cleaner main body (not shown) sequentially drives the bimetal structure pairs 40 and 41 so that the protruding portions 46 protrude from the sequential positions, A protruding portion parallel support 47 fixed to the lower end of the protruding portion 47 protrudes.

Finally, Fig. 7 shows that the projecting portions are projected in the electromagnet system in the mop installation structure of the present invention, and a plurality of such electromagnet structure pairs 50 and 51 are successively provided (ten in Fig. 7).

Then, when the electromagnet 53 is pulled by the upper metal plate 55 fixed to the elastic spring 54 by applying electricity to the coil of the electromagnet 53 fixed to the fixed plate 52, The control circuit of the vacuum cleaner main body (not shown) uses the principle that the side extension portion 56 (the extension portion of the elastic spring 54) of the upper metal plate 55 descends the projecting portion 57, The protruding structure pairs 50 and 51 are sequentially driven so that the protruding portions 57 protrude from the sequential positions so that the protruding portion parallel supports 58 fixed to the lower ends of the protruding portions 57 protrude, .

According to the method of forming various protrusions of the present invention as described above, as the vacuum cleaner continues to move, the position of the protrusion moves, thereby starting contact with the clean surface as a clean mop part, so that the dirt can be removed well.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, 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 invention.

For example, in the above description, the protruding portion is bar-shaped, but various shapes such as a wavy shape are possible.

In addition, although the lower portion of the projecting portion can be made of a hard material, it is formed of an elastic material such as rubber which is slightly deformable in consideration of the fact that the cleaning surface is not perfectly flat, thereby improving the adhesion with the cleaning surface.

The mop installation structure of the present invention is applicable not only to general vacuum cleaners but also to robot vacuum cleaners.
