Abstract
A cleaner main body rotatably installed at a lower portion of the cleaner main body and having a rake attached thereto, a jetting portion provided at a lower portion of the cleaner main body for jetting steam, A steam cleaner includes a steam generator, a steam supply path for supplying steam generated from the steam generator to the sprayer, and a handle angle adjusting device for supporting the handle so as to be adjustable with respect to the cleaner main body.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a steam cleaner, and more particularly, to a steam cleaner capable of adjusting an angle of a handle rotatably mounted on a main body of a cleaner, and capable of effectively spraying steam.
Generally, the vacuum cleaner can be divided into a vacuum cleaner and a steam cleaner, each of which includes a cleaner main body and a handle connected to the cleaner main body.
For example, in the case of a steam cleaner, the handle has a structure in which a handle is connected to a cleaner body having a mop for a predetermined length, and a user performs a cleaning operation by holding the handle and pushing or pulling the cleaner body.
In the cleaning operation, the length of the handle is adjusted according to the user's physical condition, or the angle of the handle is adjusted. For this purpose, a steam cleaner has been proposed, which is configured so that the handle is normally kept upright with respect to the cleaner main body, and the angle can be adjusted to an inclined posture in use.
That is, as described in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0026794, a configuration in which a handle is rotatably provided with respect to the cleaner main body is applied and used. However, the following problems must be considered in the construction in which the handle is rotatably connected to the cleaner body. That is, when a water bottle and a steam generator are installed on the handle, the weight of the handle is considerably heavy. Therefore, in order to stably fix the handle to the steam cleaner in an upright state, a stable locking Structure. Otherwise, the handle may be easily angularly deformed by the weight of the handle and fall down.
In addition, when the handle is repeatedly rotated, the locking structure often breaks or breaks when it is weak. Therefore, it is required to develop an angle adjusting structure that prevents the lock structure from being loosened without being damaged even when used repeatedly for a long time.
In addition, in order to supply the mop provided at the lower portion of the cleaner main body, steam is supplied through the center shaft of the rotary plate which rotatably supports the mop. However, in this case, There is a limit to the expansion of the flow path and there is a problem that steam leaks through the periphery of the central axis and flows into the cleaner main body. In addition, since steam is supplied through the central shaft, it is difficult to supply steam uniformly throughout the mop.
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 steam cleaner capable of stably supporting a handle to a cleaner main body, adjusting a rotation angle thereof, and stably supplying steam to a lower portion of the cleaner main body. There is a purpose.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a steam cleaner including: a cleaner main body; A handle installed on the cleaner main body; A mover rotating unit rotatably installed at a lower portion of the cleaner main body and having a mop attached thereto; A sprayer provided at a lower portion of the cleaner main body to spray steam; A steam generator installed in the handle to generate steam; A steam supply path for supplying steam generated by the steam generating unit to the spraying unit; And a handle angle adjusting device for supporting the handle in an angle adjustable manner with respect to the cleaner main body.
Here, the handle angle adjusting device may include: a rotary shaft installed at a lower end of the handle and connected to the cleaner body so as to be adjustable in angle; A shaft support member installed on the cleaner main body to rotatably support a lower portion of the rotary shaft; And an elastic supporting member elastically contacting and supporting the upper portion of the rotary shaft portion.
It is also preferable that a locking protrusion is formed on the outer circumference of the rotary shaft portion, and the elastic supporting member has an elastic portion having both ends supported by the cleaner main body or the shaft supporting member and made of a bone and an acid.
In addition, the mover rotating unit may include a rotary plate installed at a lower portion of the cleaner main body to be rotatable at a position corresponding to the steam jetting portion, and to which a mop is mounted; And a steam guide blade installed between the through holes formed in the rotary plate and guiding the steam sprayed from the steam spray part by the mop.
Further, the rotary plate includes a central disc formed in a circular shape at the center; The steam guide blade is installed to connect the central disc and the outer circumferential arc plate. The steam guide blade is disposed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the central disc, and the outer circumferential arc plate is formed in a ring- good.
The steam guide blade may be inclined from the bottom to the top with reference to the rotating direction of the rotating plate.
The ejector may be installed at a lower portion of the cleaner main body so as to face the mover rotation unit, and may have a plurality of ejection openings formed at an interval in the circumferential direction.
The steam supply path may include a connection hose extending from the steam generating part to the inside of the cleaner main body. A connection pipe connected to the lower portion of the cleaner main body and connected to the connection hose; And a branch path formed at an outer lower portion of the cleaner main body so as to communicate with the connection tube portion and extending to be connected to the jetting portion.
In addition, it is preferable that the jetting unit is provided with a pair, and the branching path is branched from the connection tube unit and is connected to each of the pair of jetting units.
According to the steam cleaner of the present invention, when the rotary shaft portion of the lower end of the handle is supported, the handle can be stably fixed in the upright state by being supported by the elastic support member having the elastic portion composed of the valley and the mountain, It is possible to prevent the elastic supporting member from being damaged.
Further, even if the weight of the handle is large and a large moment acts on the rotary shaft portion, the handle can be stably supported by the elastic force of the elastic support member, thereby preventing the handle from changing its angle by the load and maintaining a stable posture.
In addition, unlike the prior art, the present invention provides a steam supply path directly to the main body of the vacuum cleaner without forming a steam supply path by using the support shafts of the rotary disk, and the ejector has a size and structure corresponding to the rotary disk The steam can be uniformly sprayed and supplied over the entire mop attached to the rotary plate.
Further, since the size of the steam supply path to which the steam is supplied can be determined to be a desired size, and the size of the squeeze path is not adversely affected, it is easy to manufacture a sufficient amount of steam so that the steam supply amount can be sufficiently increased Cleaning efficiency can be improved by using a mop.
In addition, the present invention is installed at a position facing the steam spraying part, and when the mop is rotated, the steam sprayed by the steam spraying part is guided by the steam guide blade, so that the steam is effectively supplied to the mop.
Particularly, the steam guide blade is formed to be inclined, but is inclined downwardly in the direction opposite to the rotating direction, so that the steam injected from the steam spraying portion can be uniformly and effectively distributed to the mop by the inclined surface of the steam guide blade. Further, since the steam guide blade can form a through hole having a sufficient size between the central disc of the rotary plate and the circumferential outer circumferential peripheral plate by the steam guide blade, the steam can pass through the through hole without being hit by other parts, .
