As shown, the vacuum steam cleaner proposed by the present invention generates a suction force by generating a vacuum and the main body 1 for generating steam, and the steam supplied by being connected to the main body 1 and sprayed by a rotating method A head portion (3) for wiping off the foreign matter and absorbing the used steam again, and a connecting pipe (5) integrally connecting the main body (1) and the head portion (3).

The main body 1 of the vacuum steam cleaner having this structure is divided into two parts, the first compartment 8 and the second compartment 9.

A vacuum pump 10 is mounted in the first compartment 8, and the vacuum pump 10 is electrically connected to and driven by a battery 11 mounted thereon. By using the battery 11 as a power source, the washing machine is easy to carry and can be cleaned anywhere. In addition to the battery method, it is also possible to directly connect to an external power source.

Therefore, when the vacuum pump 10 is driven, a suction force is generated by forming a vacuum inside the main body 1.

The steam generator 13 is provided below the second compartment 9. The steam generator 13 includes an ultrasonic vibrator 15 for generating ultrasonic waves therein and a heating rod 17 for generating heat. The ultrasonic vibrator 15 and the heating rod 17 are connected to the switch 19, respectively.

Therefore, the user can selectively operate the vibrator and the heating rod 17 by operating the switch 19 to generate steam in the ultrasonic mode or the heating mode. Of course, the combined mode of operating the heating rod 17 and the ultrasonic vibrator 15 at the same time is also possible.

The ultrasonic vibrator 15 is mounted on the bottom of the steam generator 13 to generate ultrasonic waves in a predetermined range. Then, the ultrasonic wave generated by the vibrator 21 is transmitted to the washing water to atomize the washing water, thereby generating steam from the water surface.

3 and 4, the ultrasonic vibrator 15 is provided between the upper piece 23, the lower piece 25, and between the upper piece and the lower piece 23, 25 to vibrate. Piezoelectric element 21 is included. When power is supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator 15, the piezoelectric element 21 vibrates at a predetermined frequency to generate ultrasonic waves to atomize the washing water. Therefore, steam is generated in the water surface.

In addition, a heating plate 27 is mounted on an inner circumferential surface of the steam generator 13, and a space is formed inside the heating plate 27 to provide a heating rod 17. At least one heating rod 17 is provided and has a shape standing upright with respect to the floor.

When power is supplied to the heating rod 17, the heating rod 17 is heated within a predetermined temperature range, and the heat is transferred to the heating plate 27, thereby storing the stored wash water within the predetermined temperature range. Therefore, the washing water is atomized from the water surface by heating, thereby generating steam.

As described above, the user can generate steam in the ultrasonic mode or the heating mode as necessary by operating the switch 19.

The user can also generate steam by selecting the combined mode. That is, when the switch 19 is switched to the combined mode state, power is simultaneously applied to the ultrasonic vibrator 15 and the heating rod 17. Therefore, steam is generated by the ultrasonic vibrator 15, and at the same time, steam is generated by heating by the heating rod 17. As a result, the generation efficiency of steam is improved.

As described above, the steam generated by the ultrasonic vibrator 15 and the heating rod 17 is supplied to the head portion 3 through the steam injection pipe 29 branched from the supply pipe 31.

The steam injection pipe 29 has its lower end communicating with the upper space of the steam generator 13, and its upper end connected to the supply pipe 31. Therefore, the steam generated from the steam generator 13 is introduced into the steam injection pipe 29 and is supplied to the head portion 3 through the supply pipe 31 and the connection pipe (5).

The vacuum steam cleaner may operate in a water washing mode in addition to the ultrasonic mode or the heating mode.

That is, by operating the pressure pump 33 mounted on the steam generator 13, the washing water in the steam generator 13 is pumped to the head 3. That is, the supply pipe 31 is connected to one side of the pressure pump 33, the supply pipe 31 is connected to the head portion 3 through the interior of the connecting pipe (5). Therefore, the washing water is supplied to the head part 3 along the supply pipe 31 by the pumping of the pressure pump 33 and used for the washing operation.

On the other hand, the head part 3 is to perform the cleaning operation by spraying the steam supplied from the main body 1 to the bottom surface, and wipe the bottom surface by the rotating brush 46.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the head part 3 has a body 40 formed therein with a predetermined space therein and the lower part of which is opened.

Then, the inside of the body 40 is mounted on the inside of the body 40 is equipped with a rotary washing unit 42 for washing the bottom surface by a rotation method. The rotary washing unit 42 is a plurality, preferably two are mounted to wipe off the foreign matter adsorbed on the bottom surface by the rotation method.

The rotary washing unit 42 is a circular plate 44, a brush (46) for protruding to the bottom of the edge of the circular plate 44 is disposed in the circumferential direction to wipe off foreign substances on the bottom surface, and the circular A rotary nozzle 48 protruding upward on the upper surface of the plate 44 and rotatably supported on the inner bottom of the body 40, and a steam nozzle protruding downward on the lower surface of the circular plate 44 and injecting steam. A portion 50 is included.

In the rotary washing unit 42, a steam nozzle tube 52 having a predetermined diameter is formed inside the rotary shaft 48, the circular plate 44, and the steam nozzle unit 50. The steam nozzle pipe 52 is connected to the supply pipe 31. Therefore, the steam supplied from the steam generator 13 of the main body 1 is introduced into the steam nozzle tube 52 through the supply pipe 31, and the introduced steam is injected through the steam nozzle tube 52.

The conical jet plate 54 is mounted on the lower portion of the steam nozzle tube 52 to uniformly inject steam in all directions.

At this time, the brush 46 has a material which can be washed by having a predetermined elasticity, and when the circular plate 44 rotates, the brush 46 is rotated in a state of being in elastic contact with the bottom surface to the steam injected to the bottom surface. By wiping off the foreign matter.

In addition, the suction pad 56 is disposed on the outside of the brush 46 to surround the rotary brush 46 to absorb the foreign matter washed by the brush 46 to return to the main body 1 of the vacuum cleaner. Let's go.

The suction pad 56 is made of a material having an appropriate elasticity, preferably silicon, and a plurality of suction holes (not shown) are formed in the vertical direction. Therefore, the foreign matter wiped through the brushes 46 is sucked into the body 40 through the suction holes of the suction pad 56. At this time, the inclined surface of the lower end portion of the suction pad 56 is cut in an oblique direction to absorb foreign matter more effectively.

On the other hand, the rotary shaft 48 is rotatably supported by the bearing 58 on the inner bottom surface of the body 40, it is connected to the motor assembly 60. In addition, the motor assembly 60 is connected to the transmission shaft 64 by the belt 62, and a gear 66 is formed at a part of the transmission shaft 64 to form a gear formed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft 48. 68). Therefore, when the motor assembly 60 is driven, the rotary washing unit 42 is rotated by the rotational force transmitted to the transmission shaft 64 through the belt 62.

As a result, the brush 46 is cleaned by wiping the bottom surface by the steam sprayed while rotating.

Hereinafter, the operation of the vacuum steam cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

1 to 8, when cleaning by the vacuum steam cleaner according to the present invention, first the head portion 3 is placed on the bottom surface. By operating the switch 19, an ultrasonic mode, a heating mode, an ultrasonic and heating combined mode, and a washing water mode can be selected. Regardless of which mode is selected, when the switch 19 is operated, the vacuum pump 10 first operates. Therefore, the inside of the main body 1 becomes a vacuum state by the operation of the vacuum pump 10 to generate a suction force of a predetermined pressure. This suction force is transmitted to the head portion 3 through the connecting pipe 5, so that the suction force is generated inside the head portion (3).

When the user selects the ultrasonic mode, power is applied to the ultrasonic vibrator 15 of the steam generator 13. Accordingly, ultrasonic waves are generated by vibrating the piezoelectric element 21 of the ultrasonic vibrator 15, and the ultrasonic waves are transmitted to the washing water. Therefore, steam is generated by washing the stored water stored in the steam generator 13.

The generated steam flows into the supply pipe 31 through the steam injection pipe 29 and is supplied to the head unit 3.

When the heating mode is selected, when the switch 19 is placed in the heating mode, power is applied to the heating rod 17. When the heating rod 17 is in a predetermined temperature range after a predetermined time, the heat is transferred to the heating plate 27 so that the washing water is heated. Therefore, the washing water is heated and atomized to generate steam. The steam is introduced into the supply pipe 31 through the steam injection pipe 28 and is supplied to the head 3.

On the other hand, when the combined mode is selected, power is simultaneously applied to the ultrasonic vibrator 15 and the heating rod 17. Therefore, the ultrasonic waves generated from the ultrasonic vibrator 15 and the heat transmitted from the heating rod 17 are simultaneously transferred to the washing water. Therefore, the washing water is atomized by ultrasonic waves and heat to generate steam. As a result, in the combined mode, the amount of steam generated increases as compared with the case where the ultrasonic mode and the heating mode are operated respectively.

It is also possible to select the wash water mode. When the wash water mode is selected, power is applied to the pressure pump 33. When the pressure pump 33 is operated, the washing water is supplied to the head portion 3 through the supply pipe 31 by the pumping action of the pressure pump 33.

As described above, the steam or washing water supplied from the main body 1 is supplied to the head portion 3 and used for the cleaning operation.

When the switch 19 is in an ON state, the head part 3 is supplied with power to the motor assembly 60. When the motor assembly 60 is driven, the belt 62 is driven, and the transmission shaft 64 connected to the belt 62 is rotated. When the transmission shaft 64 rotates, the rotary washing unit 42 meshed with the transmission shaft 64 by the gear system rotates. Therefore, the steam nozzle unit 50 rotates to inject steam or washing water, and the injected steam or washing water is supplied to the bottom surface.

In this case, the brush 46 is also rotated, and when the brush 46 is rotated, the brush 46 is in contact with the bottom surface. Thus, the brush 46 is cleaned using the steam supplied to the bottom surface.

In addition, the steam used for cleaning is changed into a liquid state, and ejected to the outside by centrifugal force, such as wiped foreign matter.

At this time, the inside of the body 40 of the head portion 3 is a state in which the suction force is generated, foreign matter ejected to the outside is sucked by the suction pad 56 is moved to the upper portion along the absorption hole (not shown). . In addition, the foreign matter moved upwards is introduced into the second compartment 9 through the connecting pipe 5 and passes through the first filtration filter 28. In this process, contaminated washing water is first purified by removing large diameter sludge. In addition, the foreign matter passing through the first filtration filter 28 flows into the steam generator 13 and is stored.

Then, the cleaning operation is performed by steam by repeatedly performing the above process.

As described above, the vacuum steam cleaner according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages.

First, the washing operation is efficient by performing the washing operation by steam. That is, in the past, the cleaning operation was performed by the washing water. The vacuum steam cleaner of the present invention is excellent in cleaning efficiency by washing with steam.

Second, since the generation of steam can occur in various modes such as vibration mode, heating mode, combined mode, it is possible to increase the efficiency of cleaning by appropriately selected according to the cleaning purpose.

Third, it is possible to clean even with a small amount of washing water because it is repeatedly used to recover the used steam.

The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed by any person having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs, so limited to the specific preferred embodiment described above Not.
