The present invention relates to a sump of the wet upright cleaner, and more particularly, when the cleaner is inclined to clean the separation of water and air flowing into the interior of the dust collector, so that the normal operation of the plotter can be made It is about a sump of a wet upright cleaner.

A wet upright vacuum cleaner is a device that allows a user to clean a carpet while standing, and continuously sprays the cleaning solution onto the cleaning area, sweeps the cleaning area sprayed with the edge tape, and cleans the contaminated water in the cleaning area. As a device for cleaning the carpet by the suction method through the suction nozzle to collect in the sump, the sump collecting contaminated water as described above is usually attached to the main body casing, detachable.

1 is a side view showing a conventional water collecting container, and as shown in the drawing, the conventional water collecting container 1 has a cylindrical body 2 including a case 2a and a cover 2b to have a predetermined space therein. And a contaminated water inlet pipe 3 formed to penetrate a predetermined portion inwardly of the cover 2b to introduce the contaminated water 7 into the body 2, and around the contaminated water inlet pipe 3. It is installed and the end is penetrated through a portion of the cover (2b) is coupled to the air discharge pipe 4 for discharging the internal air of the body 2 to the outside and the end of the air discharge pipe (4) to the inside of the body (2) If the contaminated water (7) collected in the predetermined amount is made of a plotter (5) for closing the end of the air discharge pipe (4) by buoyancy. The plotter 5 consists of a guide ring 5a and a floating member 5b.

In addition, the end portion 3a of the contaminated water inlet pipe 3 inserted into the body 2 is formed to be twisted at a predetermined angle in a tangential direction so that it can be sprayed along the inner circumferential surface of the case 2a. .

In the figure, reference numeral 6 is a handle, and 7 is contaminated water.

The conventional water container 1 configured as described above is detachably coupled to the main body (not shown) of the cleaner, and the user tilts the cleaner main body (not shown) to the rear at an angle when the cleaner operates. As in 2, it is used with a certain angle tilted backward.

That is, during cleaning, the contaminated water 7 is introduced into the body 2 through the contaminated water inlet pipe 3 by the suction force of the fan motor, and the contaminated water introduced into the body 2 as described above. And air are sprayed in a tangential direction on the inner circumferential surface of the case 2a in a cyclone manner to separate water and air, and the separated air is discharged to the fan motor side through the air discharge pipe 4.

When the contaminated water 7 collected inside the body 2 is above a certain amount, the end of the air discharge pipe 4 is closed by the plotter 5 so that the contaminated water 7 moves to the fan motor side. Inflow is blocked.

However, the sump (1) of the conventional wet upright cleaner as described above is used in a state in which the sump (1) is also inclined at a predetermined angle because the cleaning body is inclined at a predetermined angle when the cleaner body is actually cleaned. In the inclined state of the sump container (1), there is a problem that the normal manual separation (separation of water and air) performance is not exhibited because it is different from the cyclone design in the vertical direction.

In addition, since the floater 5 is operated while the floating member 5a moves in a direction perpendicular to the water surface as in the direction of the arrow, the floater 5 often operates correctly when the water container 1 is inclined. There was a problem that could not be supported.
