Description

CLEANING APPARATUS WITH DISINFECTION FUNCTION

The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus having a disinfection function, and to a cleaning apparatus having a disinfection function excellent in environmental maintenance efficiency by enabling disinfection at the same time as cleaning.

In the case of a large facility having a large area, such as a department store, a government office, a museum, a large building, etc., a cleaning device for maintaining a comfortable indoor and outdoor environment is applied. Here, the cleaning device sprays high-temperature and high-pressure cleaning water and cleans with a brush while moving by the operator along the cleaning area requiring cleaning. In this case, the cleaning apparatus may perform the cleaning operation while the operator moves it directly, or may be provided as a cleaning vehicle such as a small vehicle and perform the cleaning operation while driving along the cleaning area.

On the other hand, in recent years, as exposure to contagious viruses such as corona virus increases, it is essential to prevent quarantine of large facilities such as communal buildings used by many people. Therefore, since additional disinfection work is required separately from the cleaning work for large facilities by a general cleaning device, a lot of time and manpower are required.

Accordingly, in recent years, various studies are continuously required to efficiently perform environmental maintenance for a large space such as a large facility.

The speed of the air (A) while passing through the first to fourth disinfecting bodies 51, 52, 53 and 54 due to the inclined shape of the fourth disinfecting body 51, 52, 53, 54 is focused and injected into the injection port 50a.

The nozzle unit 70 is provided adjacent to the injection port 50a and includes at least one nozzle 71 , 72 , 73 for spraying the disinfectant solution L . In the present embodiment, the nozzle unit 70 is exemplified as including the first to third nozzles 71 , 72 , 73 . As shown in FIG. 3, these first to third nozzles 71, 72, and 73 are provided in the first to fourth disinfecting bodies 51, 52, 53, and 54 at the respective injection ports 50a. They are arranged to be spaced apart from each other next to each other. At this time, the first to third nozzles 71 , 72 , 73 are covered and protected by the nozzle cover 74 .

The disinfectant solution L mixed with the water sprayed from the nozzle unit 70 is the first to fourth disinfecting bodies 51, 52, 53 and 54, respectively, the air (A) sprayed through the nozzles 50a provided ) is interfered with the flow and is sprayed. Therefore, the disinfectant solution L sprayed from the nozzle part 70 interferes with the spray angle and direction of the air A sprayed through the injection port 50a, and thus the first to fourth disinfection bodies 51 and 52 are sterilized. By adjusting the installation angle and direction of (53) and (54), it is possible to respond to various cleaning and disinfection environments.

Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first to fourth disinfecting bodies 51, 52, 53, and 54 are provided on the rear side based on the traveling direction of the traveling unit 10, and the cleaning unit 20 performs cleaning first. For one cleaning area, the disinfectant solution (L) is sprayed toward the rear together with the air (A). At this time, the first to fourth disinfecting bodies 51, 52, 53, and 54 are air (A) so that the disinfectant solution (L) is sprayed in different directions (D1) (D2) (D3) (D4), respectively. By guiding to, it is possible to spray the disinfectant solution (L) to the front and rear of the traveling unit (10).

Here, the first and second disinfecting bodies 51 and 52 are installed on the second frame 42 so that the injection hole 50a faces relatively downward, and the third and fourth disinfecting bodies 54 are provided with the injection hole. (50a) is installed in the third frame 43 so as to relatively face upward. At this time, as the spray angle and direction of the disinfectant liquid L sprayed upward from the third and fourth disinfection body 54 is guided by the air A sprayed from the injection port 50a, the disinfectant liquid L This is not unnecessarily sprayed toward the front of the traveling unit 10 .
