Description

Ozone generator of vacuum cleaner

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and in particular, by forming an ozone generator for generating ozone in the vacuum cleaner to sterilize the microorganisms that live in the vacuum cleaner with ozone generated in the ozone generator to maintain the health of the user and family health The purpose of the present invention is to enhance the overall product preference, such as improving the quality by removing the odor generated by the deodorizing action of ozone.

In the related art, when the power cord 1 is connected and the power is supplied, the vacuum switch is operated by operating the control switch 3 formed on the handle 2, as shown in FIG. It is sucked by strong suction power and the dust is filtered and collected inside the vacuum cleaner, only the air is discharged to the outside, and is operated to be cleaned.

The suction / filtration-discharge process of the air / dust of the vacuum cleaner is as follows.

First, when a suction force for sucking air is generated by driving the motor 4, the dust bag 5 formed at the position of the motor 4 is inflated by the sucked air, and sucked into the dust bag 5. Air / dust and the like introduced through the unit 6 are introduced through the suction pipe 7 and the flexible connection pipe 8.

Meanwhile, the air / dust introduced into the dust bag 5 is collected in the dust bag 5 by collecting most of the dust that has not passed through the minute holes drilled in the wall of the dust bag 5, and passes through the micro holes. Only one fine dust and air are passed through.

Then, the air passing through the dust bag (5) is subjected to the secondary filtration process in the motor protection filter (9) does not pass through the dust bag (5) obstacles to the motor (4) that is introduced from the outside to rotate Large foreign objects or hair are collected.

As such, the air passing through the motor protection filter 9 passes through the motor 4 and is finally filtered through the exhaust filter 10 before being discharged to the outside. The dust bag 5 and the motor protection filter 9 Unfiltered fine dust is filtered out and discharged out of the air cleaner.

However, in performing the cleaning operation using the vacuum cleaner which goes through the air-dust suction-filtration-discharge process, among the dust collected in the dust bag (5), about 10 million grains per 1 g of dust were investigated. Some microorganisms inhabit, and some of them pass through both the dust bag and the motor protection filter (9) / exhaust filter (10) with a very small fine dust is discharged into the room.

In this way, the microorganisms living in the dust bag 5 are contained in the air and discharged to the outside, floating in the air and being sucked into the body through the respiratory organs, which adversely affects the health of the family, and inhabits the dust bag 5. There is a problem that the odor component generated in the process of decomposing the organic matter contained in the microorganisms are discharged into the room when using the vacuum cleaner to give a discomfort to the user.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems and constitutes an ozone generator in a vacuum cleaner to generate ozone for sterilizing microorganisms and performing decomposition of odor components.

The ozone generator of the vacuum cleaner of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the vacuum cleaner composed of the suction unit 101, the suction tube 102, the flexible connecting tube 103, the body 104, as shown in Figure 3, in particular the dust bag inside the body 104 inhabiting the vacuum cleaner ( An ozone generating device 106 for sterilizing the microorganisms inhabiting 105 and generating ozone to deodorize the odor is formed on the suction pipe 102 near the body 104.

In addition, the ozone generator 106 includes a case 110 having an air inlet 107 / air outlet 108 and a hollow space 109, and a dust collecting filter 120 attached to the air inlet 107. And a ceramic substrate 130 attached to the hollow space 109 of the case 110 and attached to upper and lower portions of the ceramic plate 130 to receive power from the power supply unit 140. The ozone decomposition filter 160 which comprises a tungsten electrode 150 and removes residual ozone from the ozone generated from the attached ozone generator 106 is sterilized and deodorized before being discharged to the outside. Configure.

Reference numeral 170 is a motor, 180 is an exhaust filter, and 190 is a safety net.

Referring to the effects of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, when the motor 170 is driven, a suction force for sucking air is acted on and dust is sucked together with the air through the suction part 101.

The air / dust sucked through the suction unit 101 is introduced into the body 104 of the vacuum cleaner through the suction tube 102 and the flexible connection tube 103.

At this time, the ozone generator 106 formed on the suction pipe 102 adjacent to the body 104 has a high voltage on the upper tungsten electrode 150 of the ceramic substrate 130 and a low voltage on the lower tungsten electrode 150. The ozone is applied to generate ozone, and the ozone is included in the air that is filtered by the dust collecting filter 120 blocking the air inlet 107 and reaches the hollow space 109 and passes through the air outlet 108 to the suction pipe 102. Inflow

As described above, the ozone introduced into the suction tube 102 is mixed with the air passing through the suction tube 102 and introduced into the body 104 of the vacuum cleaner.

On the other hand, the air and ozone introduced into the vacuum cleaner body 104 is filtered by the fine pores formed in the dust bag 105 in the dust bag 105 inside the body 104 is filtered most of the dust, air and Together, only some of the dust that is not filtered due to the particles are passed through the dust bag 105.

On the other hand, the ozone introduced into the dust bag 105 together with air is sterilized so that the microorganisms mixed with the filtered dust cannot pass through the dust bag 105 inside the dust bag 105 and suppress the breeding and formatting. It has a beneficial function of deodorizing odor generated when decomposing organic matter contained in dust.

Then, when the microorganisms are decomposed inside the dust bag 105 and the remaining ozone passes through the air and the dust bag 105, the residual ozone is decomposed in the process of passing through the ozone decomposition filter 160 configured in front of the motor 170. After filtering, the fine dust still contained in the air while passing through the motor 170 and the exhaust filter 180 is finally filtered and discharged to the outside.

As another installation example in which the ozone generator of the present invention is installed, the ozone generator 106 is configured on the upper portion of the suction unit 101 which starts to suck air / dust as shown in FIG.

In this configuration, the suction pipe 102 and the flexible connection pipe 103 are provided through the suction unit 101 to provide ozone generated from the ozone generator 106 from the inhalation of air / dust and before entering the body 104. ) To sterilize and remove the microorganisms contained in the dust by ozone to increase the sterilization effect.

In addition, a child safety net 190 is configured to prevent children from picking up and damaging the air inlet 107 with a chopstick or a sharp tool.

For reference, the principles of sterilization and deodorization of ozone generated by the ozone generator 106 are as follows.

As ozone generated in the ozone generator 106 breaks the cell wall of the microorganism and sterilizes the microorganism, as in the case of acetic acid in the following example, ozone destroys the binding structure of the odor molecule with CH ₃ COOH → CO ₂ + H ₂ O. The odor produced by microorganisms decomposing organic matter is changed to odorless components.

As described above, the present invention constitutes an ozone generating device that generates ozone in a vacuum cleaner, and is inhaled by a vacuum cleaner by ozone generated in the ozone generating device to sterilize microorganisms contained in dust, thereby improving the user's health and family health. It contributes to the maintenance of health and improves the overall product preference, such as improving the quality by removing the odor component generated by the deodorizing action of ozone.
