The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, in that a mop that is intermittently rotated in an endless orbital state is disassembled in an assembled state on an upper part of a suction body that sucks in dust, and the driven shaft and the drive shaft with the mop are caught. By the distance between the axis of the variable, relates to a mop separator of the vacuum cleaner to facilitate the removal of the mop.

In general, the vacuum cleaner suctions the floor dust and is connected through the main body 1, the main body 1, and the hose 4 provided with the motor 3 and the dust bag 2, as shown in FIG. It consists of the sieve (5).

When the vacuum cleaner 2 is driven into the vacuum bag 2 and the inside of the vacuum bag 2 is in a vacuum state, the air in the indoor floor is sucked into the suction body 5 through the hose 4 connected to the dust bag 2. At this time, the dust of the floor is filtered by the dust bag (2) and clean air is discharged into the room.

Meanwhile, a vacuum cleaner that can mop the floor as well as dust on the floor using a vacuum cleaner has been developed and used.

The cleaner having such a mop function is provided with a drive shaft that is intermittently driven in the suction body in the suction body, and the absorber, such as sponge having excellent water absorption capacity is rolled on the drive shaft.

The conventional mop cleaner configured as described above separates the drive shaft from the suction body during the cleaning and then wets the absorber with water. On the other hand, if the drive shaft moistened with the absorbent material is coupled to the suction body and then advanced, the absorbent material in contact with the floor wipes the floor. In addition, when the absorbent material in contact with the floor is dirty, the suction body is reversed so that the drive shaft rotates intermittently. At this time, the absorbent is rotated together so that the clean side is in contact with the floor. Advancing the suction in this state causes the clean side of the absorbent material to wipe the floor again.

However, because the absorber is simply rolled on the drive shaft, if the drive shaft rotates once, the absorber also rotates once. That is, the amount of absorbent used is determined according to the diameter of the drive shaft. When the floor cleaning area is large, the absorbent needs to be separated and sucked frequently from the suction body.

In addition, in order to secure such disadvantages, a device that was rolled up on one side of the suction body using an absorber as a cloth or the like has been previously filed.

However, since the already used loosen mop is stored on the shaft of the other side until all the rolled mop is used, there is an unsanitary problem such as bad smell and mold growth when the cleaner is stored.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors install the mop by endlessly orbiting the mop corresponding to a constant floor area cleaning on the drive shaft installed on the suction body and the driven shaft installed on the upper part of the mop. When installed, he has previously elected a vacuum cleaner's water mop device (Utility Model Registration Application No. 94-20779), which allows cleaning of the floor area so that it does not need to be replaced frequently.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mop assembly in which the mop assembly is separated from the suction body in the state in which the driving shaft and the driven shaft are assembled (hereinafter referred to as the mop assembly), and the mop assembly is separated when the dust is sucked only. In the convenience, the distance between the shaft of the driven shaft and the drive shaft is variable, to provide a mop disassembly device of the vacuum cleaner to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the mop.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a suction mop assembly in which an inlet is formed on the bottom surface between the suction shaft, the drive shaft which is intermittently driven at the time of reversing, and the driven shaft installed through the support on the upper part of the suction mop. And a seat portion formed in the suction body so that the bottom surface of the mop contacts the cleaning bottom surface when the drive shaft of the mop assembly is placed, and an elastic means installed on the support to vary the distance between the driven shaft and the drive shaft. It is characteristic.

Hereinafter, the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the suction body is the present invention is coupled and Figure 3 is a front sectional view of the suction body is the invention is coupled, the same components as in Figure 1 will be described using the same reference numerals. That is, the suction inlet 10 is formed in the front and rear of the bottom surface and the extension tube 17 is connected to the hose 4 of the main body 1 in the rear center, the drive shaft 30 that is intermittently driven when the reverse The mop assembly 1 in which the mop 20 is caught in an orbital manner between the driven shaft 34 installed at the upper portion thereof, and the mop assembly 1 is formed at the upper center of the suction body 10 so that the mop assembly 1 is vertically placed. Teeth 12 are provided.

The suction body 10 is a drive shaft 930 is placed on the seat portion 12 formed in the center, at this time exposed to the lower portion of the seat portion 12 so that the mop 20 caught on the drive shaft 30 is in contact with the cleaning bottom surface ( 13) is formed.

On the other hand, the drive shaft 30 and the driven shaft 34 of the mop assembly 1 are formed with pins 31 and 35 at both ends thereof, and the support 40 is coupled to these pins 31 and 35 so that they are fixed. It is integrated in a spaced state.

In addition, bearings 42 and 43 are installed on the struts 40 coupled to the pins 31 and 35 so that the respective shafts 30 and 34 rotate smoothly. In addition, the pin 31 on the left side of the drawing is coupled to the intermittent drive member 32 in which the passive shaft 30 intermittently rotates when the suction body 10 moves backward. In addition, the lower portion of the support 40 is formed with a fitting portion 41 to be inserted into the fitting groove 14 formed on both sides of the seat 12. In addition, the drive shaft 30 and the driven shaft 34 is formed of a material with a large friction force and does not slip in the state in which the mop 20 is caught by them.

Meanwhile, in the fitting groove 14 on the left side, the receiving part 15 on which the intermittent driving member 32 is placed is formed, and the rotation preventing groove in which the protrusion 33 formed on the intermittent driving member 32 is placed outside the receiving part 15. 16 is formed.

In addition, the stretching means 50 is coupled to the middle of the support (40). The expansion means 50 is used when the height of the support 40 is variable, press the driven shaft 34 once the expansion means 50 is reduced while the height of the support 40 is reduced, and pressing again stretch As the means 50 are extended, the height of the strut 40 is restored to its original state. This is used to wash the mop 20 from each shaft 30, 34, i.e., when the mop assembly 1 is separated from the suction body 10 and then presses the driven shaft 34, the support 40 ), So that the mop 20 formed on each shaft 30, 34 is easily separated.

Figure 4 is a front sectional view of the present invention, Figure 5 is a side sectional view of the present invention. Stretching means 50 is installed on the upper and lower column (40a, 40b) divided into two. That is, a cam member 51 having a rail 52 provided at the lower end of the upper support 40a and having upper and lower locking grooves 52a and 52b formed thereon, and installed at the upper end of the lower support 40b and having a cam member ( The guide member 54 for guiding the lifting and lowering of the 51, the guide member 54 is installed on the spring 56 for pressing the cam member 51 upward, and the guide member 54 is installed on the rail 52 It is provided with a lever 55 having a projection (55a) which is moved along the () to the upper and lower engaging groove (52a, 52b) of the cam member (51).

On the other hand, the lower end of the cam member 51 is provided with a friction portion 53 is inserted into the guide member 54, the friction contact when the lifting and lowering, and is caught on the upper end when the spring 56 is suppressed. In addition, the lever 55 allows the protrusion 55a to be in close contact with the rail 52 and the elastic force acts in the direction so that the protrusion 55a is fitted into the upper and lower locking grooves 52a and 52b.

Referring to the disassembly and assembly process of the present invention mop assembly (1) configured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the drive shaft 30 and the driven shaft 34 are integrated by the strut 40 coupled to each end. The driving shaft 30 of the mop assembly 1 integrated in this way is placed on the seat 12 located at the upper portion of the suction body 10. At this time, the fitting portion 41 in the support 40 is broken in the fitting manner by each fitting groove 14 and does not arbitrarily return.

Meanwhile, when the mop assembly 1 is placed on the seat 12, the intermittent driving member 32 and the protrusion 33 are placed on each receiving part 15 and the rotation preventing groove 16. At this time, when the projection 33 is placed in the rotation preventing groove 16, the intermittent drive member 32 is in a state where it does not spin. When the mop assembly 1 is assembled to the suction body 10 as shown in FIG. At this time, the mop 20 under the drive shaft 30 is in contact with the cleaning bottom surface through the exposure opening (13). In this state, when the suction body 10 is advanced, the dust is sucked through the suction port 11 in the front and rear, and the mop 20 wipes the cleaning bottom surface. On the other hand, when the mop 20 in contact with the cleaning floor is dirty, the suction body 10 is slightly reversed and then advanced. At this time, the intermittent drive member 32 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the drive shaft 30 and the mop 20 is rotated. At this time, since the clean surface of the mop 20 is in contact with the cleaning bottom surface can be wiped clean. In addition, when the mop cleaning is finished, the mop assembly (1) is separated from the suction body (10) by pulling the support (40) on both sides upward. In this state, when you want to separate the mop 20 caught in the drive shaft 30 and the driven shaft 34, the driven shaft 34 is pressed.

At this time, when the expansion means 50 is reduced and the driven shaft 34 is close to the drive shaft 30 is loosened in the caught state of the mop 20. Pulling the loose mop 20 in the axial direction as described above, the mop 20 is separated, so it can be sucked and cleaned.

That is, when the driven shaft 34 is pressed, the upper member 40a is lowered and the cam member 51 is lowered. At this time, as the spring 56 is compressed, the cam member 51 is lowered, and at the same time, the protrusion 55a is moved to the right along the trajectory of the rail 52 and then restored to the left, as shown in FIG. It is caught in the locking groove 52a. In this way, the distance between the shafts of the driven shaft 34 and the drive shaft 30 is close in the state in which the spring 56 is compressed.

In addition, the mop 20 is separated and sucked clean, and then hangs on each axis (30) (34) in the reverse order of separation. When the driven shaft 34 is pressed and released in this state, the projection 55a is released from the upper locking groove 52a and the spring 56 is restored while the cam member 51 is raised. As such, when the cam member 51 is raised and the friction portion 53 is caught by the upper end of the movable member 54, the protrusion 55a is caught by the lower locking groove 52b and is closely caught by the shafts 30 and 34.

6 is a front sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention. That is, the lower ends of the pair of upper supports 40a 'supporting both ends of the driven shaft 34 are connected to each other, and the upper ends of the pair of lower supports 40b' supporting the both ends of the drive shaft 30 are connected to each other. . In addition, one stretch means 40 is installed on each of the upper and lower holding portions 40a 'and 40b' connected to each other, and the lifting guide member 57 is coupled to both sides thereof. The elevating guide member 57 is formed at the upper end of the lower end 40b ', the endurance rod 57a formed at the lower end of the upper support 40a', and the support bar 57a to which the guide bar 57a is fitted. A spring 58 is fitted to the guide rod 57a and is provided between the upper and lower supports 40a 'and 40b'.

According to another embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the driven shaft 34 and the driving shaft 30 are not separated by the guide rods 57a on both sides.

Moreover, since the spring 58 supports the driven shaft 34, it does not sag arbitrarily. Meanwhile, when the driven shaft 34 to separate the mop 20 is pressed, the expansion and contraction means 50 is reduced, and at the same time, the guide rod 57a is also lowered in the compressed state of the spring 58. At this time, the guide rod (57a) is lowered while the spring 58 is compressed, so the distance between the shaft (30, 34) is close.

In addition, the elastic member 50 and the upper and lower supports 40a ', 40b' and the like are installed in parallel with the shaft 30, 34 is located between the mop 20. That is, since it is located in the space between the front and rear of the mop 20 caught on each axis 30, 34, it is not visible from the front and rear of the suction body 10. Therefore, it does not make a visually complex impression. In addition, since only one expansion means 50 is installed, there is an advantage that the configuration of the device is simplified.

As described above, according to the present invention, the middle shaft and the driving shaft with the mop are disassembled and assembled from the suction body in the state of being integrated through the prop, and when the water mop is removed when the mop is removed, the mop distance is close to the shaft. It is convenient to separate.
