Description

Multiple-purpose vacuum cleaner

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner that can form a suitable form according to each purpose of use.

Generally, a vacuum cleaner is mainly used for cleaning corners and other places where general brooms or other cleaning tools are difficult to clean in a house, a car, or other places. It is a device to remove foreign substances.

Such vacuum cleaners have various shapes according to their purpose of use, the most representative of which are canister vacuum cleaners and upright vacuum cleaners as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. to be.

Hereinafter, the general structure of each type of vacuum cleaner as described above will be described in detail with reference to the respective drawings.

First, the floor moving type vacuum cleaner as shown in FIG. 1 has a main body 10 provided with a suction force generating means for generating a suction force, and the suction hose 11 is coupled to the main body so as to be detachable in communication with the inside thereof. .

At this time, the large wheel 12 is rotatably installed on both sides of the main body, and the turning wheel 13 is provided on the front side of the bottom of the main body so as to move the main body in a desired direction.

In addition, the other end of the suction hose is attached to the handle portion 14 having a controller portion (not shown), one end of the extension pipe 15 is detachably connected to the handle portion, the other of the extension pipe At one end, an inlet port 16 through which air and various contaminants are sucked from the outside is detachably provided.

Therefore, after the power is supplied to the vacuum cleaner, the handle 14 attached to the other end of the suction hose 11 is grabbed, and when the suction mode of the controller unit (not shown) provided in the handle is selected, the main body ( A suction force generating means provided in 10 generates a suction force while driving.

When the suction force is generated in this way, the user performs cleaning after placing the suction port 16 at a desired position for cleaning using the handle portion 14.

Accordingly, various contaminants such as dust and the like are sucked into the suction port together with air, and various contaminants such as dust and the air are continuously passed through the extension pipe 15, the handle 14, and the suction hose 11. To enter the body 10.

At this time, as the dust collecting bag (not shown) is provided in the main body to collect only various contaminants, air from the air and various contaminants introduced into the main body exits the dust collecting bag and the main body 10. It is discharged to the outside, and various contaminants are collected in the dust collecting bag.

In the process as described above, the user moves to a place for cleaning the main body to perform the continuous cleaning.

The main body 10 can be moved smoothly according to the needs of the user because the large wheels 12 are provided at both rear sides thereof, and the turning wheel 13 is provided at the front side of the bottom of the main body. It is possible to follow.

However, the shape of the vacuum cleaner as described above is advantageous in the case where it is necessary to clean only a position as necessary in a relatively narrow place, and is not preferable for performing cleaning for a wide place.

On the other hand, the upright vacuum cleaner as shown in FIG. 2 has an advantageous shape for performing cleaning in a relatively large space, unlike the above-described floor moving vacuum cleaner, and is placed horizontally with the main body 20 which is vertically placed. It consists of a suction port 21 and the handle portion 22 connected to the upper end of the main body.

At this time, a suction force generating means (not shown) is built in the main body to generate suction force, and a dust collecting bag (not shown) is provided to collect various suctioned contaminants, and the main body 20 At the rear side of the bottom, the wheel 23 is rotatably installed to enable the movement of the main body.

In addition, a rotating brush (not shown) is installed in the inlet body 21 to rotate as necessary, and the main body and the inlet body are configured to transfer air and various contaminants sucked by the suction hose 24. It is configured to

Therefore, when the cleaning is to be performed as necessary, the user grabs the handle 22 and moves the main body 20 and the suction port 21 to the cleaning position, and then ON / OFF installed on the side of the main body 20. The switch 25 is placed in the ON state to drive the suction force generating means built in the main body 20.

At this time, it is possible to smoothly move the main body and the suction port to the position where the cleaning is performed according to the cloud of the wheel 23 installed on the rear side of the main body.

As described above, when suction force is generated while the suction force generating means (not shown) in the main body 20 is driven, the suction force is transmitted to the suction port 21 along the suction hose 24, and transfers the suction force as described above. The suction inlet body 21 sucks various contaminants through an inlet (not shown) formed at its bottom.

In addition, the contaminants sucked as described above are sucked into the main body 20 along the suction hose 24 through which the suction force is transmitted, and are then collected in a dust collecting bag (not shown) in communication with the suction hose, and air is collected in the dust collecting bag. After exiting the main body 20 flows out and is discharged to the outside of the main body.

In the process as described above, the user is to perform the continuous cleaning while moving to the place for cleaning the main body 20 using the handle portion 22.

However, the upright vacuum cleaner, which performs the above-mentioned functions, also needs to position the suction port at a desired position for cleaning by moving the main body, but when moving between the rooms, it is difficult to move smoothly because it is caught by the jaw (door fat) that is generally formed. But there is a problem that can not be used in the corner or narrow place, such as under the bed.

In other words, the floor-moving vacuum cleaner is able to smoothly clean the narrow spaces and the corners during the movement between rooms and the room, while the cleaning efficiency of the large space is disadvantageous due to the deterioration of the cleaning efficiency. While the cleaning efficiency of is excellent, the use of the narrow place and the corner and the movement between the room and the room has disadvantageous problems respectively.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, it is an object of the present invention to improve the floor moving vacuum cleaner to be used as a floor moving vacuum cleaner or upright vacuum cleaner according to the needs of the user.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, and the main body with a built-in suction force generating means to generate a suction force, and the wheel to be rotatable on both sides of the rear of the main body to facilitate the movement of the main body and A suction hose having one end connected in communication with the inside of the main body to receive a suction force generated in the main body, a handle part attached to the other end of the suction hose, and an extension tube detachably connected to the handle part; In the vacuum cleaner having a suction inlet connected to the other end of the extension tube to suck the air and various contaminants from the outside, the main body is in communication with the outside from the top place to the bottom place in the main body and partitioned with respect to the inside of the main body Multi-purpose vacuum cleaner, characterized in that by forming a communication flow path to achieve the state Is provided.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 3 to 4b showing an embodiment of the present invention in more detail as follows.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner according to the present invention, Figures 4a, 4b is a state diagram showing a process of implementing the multi-purpose vacuum cleaner in the form of an upright vacuum cleaner according to the present invention, the present invention is to constitute a vacuum cleaner The communication path 110 is formed in the main body 100 so as to communicate from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body 100 so as to achieve a state in which the inside of the main body 100 is partitioned.

At this time, one side 111 of the communication passage 110 formed to penetrate the inside of the main body 100 is positioned at the front side of the upper surface of the main body 100, and the other side 112 of the communication passage has a lower surface of the main body 100. Located in the rear side to form a straight through to form a straight line from one side to the other side so that the extension pipe 120 can be installed through the communication passage.

When the extension pipe 120 is installed through the communication passage, it is preferable that the extension tube does not flow in the communication passage 110.

Accordingly, the first engaging groove 113 bent into the main body 100 is formed at one side 111 into which the extension tube 120 is inserted, and the extension tube has a predetermined length inserted into the communication passage. In this case, the first catching jaw 121 is formed to be caught by the inner surface of the first catching groove 113 and no longer inserted.

In addition, a second locking groove 114 bent into the main body 100 is formed on the other side 112 where the extension pipe 120 is exposed in the communication flow path, and one end of the extension pipe 120 is exposed at one end thereof. It is coupled to the suction inlet 130 and connects the tubular auxiliary extension tube 140 to achieve a state in which the extension tube and the suction inlet communication with each other.

At this time, it is understood that the length of the auxiliary extension pipe should be formed to a length such that the bottom surface of the suction port 130 is in contact with the ground to perform a smooth cleaning.

The structure for preventing the extension pipe 120 from flowing in the communication passage 110 does not matter even if the shape is not the same as described above.

That is, the communication flow path of the main body 100 so that both sides 111 and 112 protrude outward so that one end thereof is coupled to the extension pipe 120 and the other end may be connected to the suction port 130. When the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention is used as a floor-moving vacuum cleaner, one side of the protruding communication passage may contact the ground and thus scratch the floor, thereby forming bending grooves inside the main body as described above. More preferred.

The process of suctioning various contaminants in accordance with the operation of each general part of the operation of the vacuum cleaner configured as described above is omitted according to the conventional description, and according to the position of cleaning required by referring to the structure of the vacuum cleaner of the present invention. The shape of the vacuum cleaner and the process of forming the shape will be described in more detail as follows.

First, the initial state is made the same as the general floor movable vacuum cleaner as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, the user can perform the cleaning in a relatively narrow location or in the corner, and the movement between each location that is desired to be cleaned, that is, the room can be made smoothly.

In this state, when the user wants to clean a relatively large place, first, the suction port 130 is separated from the extension pipe 120 in a state in which the main body 100 is placed vertically as shown in FIG. 4A, and then the suction port is separated. The extension tube 120 is inserted into the communication passage 110 formed in the main body 100 so that the end of the extension tube penetrates the bottom surface of the main body 100 to protrude outward.

Thereafter, the auxiliary extension tube 140 is connected to one end of the extension tube 120 exposed through the communication channel, and then the suction inlet body 130 separated from the extension tube 120 is coupled to the other end of the auxiliary extension tube. It will be shaped like.

At this time, the main body 100 can be erected vertically, as the wheels 12 rotatably mounted on both rear sides of the main body are configured in a large size.

That is, the large wheel not only plays a role of supporting the lower portion of the main body 100 as described above, but also allows the movement of the vacuum cleaner to be made smoothly even in a state in which the main body 100 is upright as described above. do.

The suction port 130 is in contact with the ground in a state that is located in the front side relative to the position of the main body 100, the handle portion 14 is located in the rear side relative to the position of the main body 100, the user It is understood that the vacuum cleaner can be made upright as a stable state as a whole as it is configured to be smoothly operated by.

In addition, while the cleaning is performed, the extension pipe 120 installed through the communication passage 110 may flow in the communication passage due to the forward and backward movement of the main body 100, which is formed on each side of the communication passage. One end of the first catching jaw 121 and the auxiliary extension pipe 140 formed in the extension pipe 120 in the first catching groove 113 and the second catching groove 114 can be understood that the flow can be prevented. Do.

As a result, when the vacuum cleaner is upright as described above, the user may perform cleaning in a relatively wide location such as a living room.

On the other hand, if the user wants to change the shape of the vacuum cleaner back to the floor type according to the needs of the user, the detailed description will be omitted since the process of returning to the original state is performed by performing a process opposite to the above-described upright form. Do it.

On the other hand, another embodiment according to the present invention is to take into account the shape and location of the various components in the main body 200, as shown in Figure 5 to the communication flow path 210 from one side 211 to the other side 212 It is to be formed in a bent state to avoid the position of the various components in the main body.

One end of the extension tube 220 is connected to one side of the communication passage 210 formed as described above, and the suction port 230 is connected to the other side of the communication passage 210 formed as described above.

At this time, one side of the communication passage 210 to which the extension pipe is connected to form a first catching groove 213 that is bent into the main body 200, the extension tube when a predetermined length is inserted into the communication passage inside The first catching jaw 221 is formed to be caught by the inner surface of the first catching groove 213 so that it is no longer inserted.

In addition, the second extension grooves 214 that are bent into the main body 200 are also formed on the other side of the communication flow path 210 to which the auxiliary extension pipe 240 is connected so that the auxiliary extension pipe can be caught.

Extension tubes 220 and auxiliary extension tubes 240, which are respectively coupled to both sides 211 and 212 of the communication flow path 210 as described above, flow through the respective extension tubes 220 and 240 through the combined portions. Air and other contaminants should not be leaked.

Accordingly, the present invention is provided with a sealing means (250) made of a relatively flexible material in the coupling position between each other to achieve a closed state between each coupling portion as described above, and mutual coupling is further Make it stable.

At this time, the coupling between each of the extension pipes 220, 240 and the communication flow path 210 is not a type as described above, but the fitting structure of the coupling form so that the mutual coupling can be made or a shape such as hook coupling As a result, the coupling structure can be easily applied, and thus the coupling structure is not limited.

In another embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the detailed structure and operation description thereof will be omitted as described in one embodiment, and more specific only with respect to the process that is configured when the shape of the vacuum cleaner is to be made upright. Explained as follows.

First, in the case of changing the upright type according to the user's needs from the form of the general floor movable vacuum cleaner which is the first state, first, the suction port 230 is separated from the extension pipe 220 while the main body 200 is upright. Afterwards, the suction port 230 separated from the extension tube is connected to one side 211 of the communication flow path 210 formed in the main body 200.

At this time, the connection of the communication passage and the suction inlet 230 is made in such a way that the separate auxiliary extension tube 240 is coupled to the suction inlet, and the other end of the auxiliary extension tube is coupled to the communication passage 210.

In addition, the other side 212 of the communication passage 210 formed in the main body is coupled to the extension pipe 220, the suction inlet is separated.

At this time, the coupling of the communication flow path and the extension pipe is simply made by coupling the extension pipe 220 into the communication flow path 210 inside the coupling method, the interior of the communication flow path is provided with a sealing means 250 therebetween Seamless combination is possible.

Therefore, when the coupling as described above is completed, the user can perform the same operation as the upright vacuum cleaner by moving the main body 200 using the handle 14.

Meanwhile, the communication passages 110 and 210 formed through the upper and lower surfaces of the main body 100 and 200 of the multi-purpose vacuum cleaner according to the present invention are necessarily the main body 100 and 200 as in the above-described embodiment. Both sides 111, 112, 211, and 212 are not required to be positioned on the front side and the rear side of the top surface of the bottom surface.

In other words, both sides of the communication flow path may be positioned on the lower surface front side and the upper surface rear side of the main body, and in such a case, it is understood that the extension pipe penetrates from the lower surface of the main body to the upper surface side.

As described above, the present invention transforms the floor movable vacuum cleaner into an upright vacuum cleaner to enable use, thereby cleaning while moving a lot in a large place such as a living room or a corner such as a bed and a relatively small area. There is an effect that can be used properly in each situation to be performed.
