The switch 60 has a function of selectively blocking / supplying external power applied to the electric pump 40.

Here, the liquid may optionally include washing and three tablets depending on the object of cleaning as well as water.

It is preferable that the nozzle 32 of the supply pipe 30 is formed outward within a range in which the jetting direction of the liquid does not interfere with the brush 14. That is, by arranging the nozzle 32 to be formed outward at an inclined angle with respect to the installation direction of the brush 14 installed vertically, the liquid is sprayed toward the outside of the tool body 10.

The supply pipe 30 is disposed on both sides or one side of the other end portion of the tool body 10, it is preferable to have a structure that is branched so that the injection pressure of the liquid evenly transmitted.

In addition, the inside of the water tank 20 is provided with a supply pipe 22 connected to the supply pipe 30 to enable the supply of liquid regardless of the position of the water tank 20, the supply pipe 22 is a flexible material capable of bending (Eg, synthetic resin, etc.), and has a structure in which a weight 24 is disposed at an end thereof.

4 to 6 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, the heating means for steaming the liquid that is pumped to the nozzle 32 by the pumping means is further provided.

The heating means of the present invention is provided with a heater 100 which is self-heated as the external power is applied, and the supply pipe 30 is wound so as to contact along the outer circumferential surface.

Also preferably, the winding structure of the supply pipe 30 is wound so as to have a multilayer structure along the outer circumferential surface of the heater 100, so that the inner supply pipe 30 directly contacting the outer circumferential surface of the heater 100 is located on the outer side. It is to have a heat insulation function by the supply pipe 30 located.

The heater 100 and the electric pump 40 are connected by wire 70 so that external power is applied, and a connector terminal 70 is installed at an end of the wire 70.

When the connector terminal 70 is connected to the vehicle and used, the connector terminal 70 has a structure that can be connected to the vehicle cigarette lighter.

In addition, the heater 100 has a structure in which external power is selectively applied or cut off by the operation of the switch 60 described in the first embodiment.

In addition, the lamp 80 is connected to the sensor 105 disposed in close proximity to the heater 100 to display a time when the heater 100 is heated to a temperature capable of steaming the liquid in the water tank 20 after heating. ) Is further provided.

The sensor 105 has a function of energizing when the temperature of the heater 100 rises above a predetermined temperature and applying power to the lamp 80, and when the temperature falls below a predetermined temperature, the power is cut off to turn off the lamp 80. As an example, a thermostat may be employed.

In this case, the switch 60 may employ a well-known selector switch that selects the operation of the electric pump 40 and the operation of the heater 100, respectively, or operates in conjunction with each other.

FIG. 7 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, in which the pumping pressure can be applied to the liquid using the manual pumper 45 instead of the electric pump 40 as another example of the pumping means.

That is, the well-known pumping machine 45 is disposed on the upper portion of the water tank 20, and the pumping machine 45 generates pressure in the water tank 20 by reciprocating the up and down lifting operation after the worker's gripping. Has the function.

In addition, after the pumping operation of the pump 45 is completed, a valve 55 for selectively supplying the generated pumping pressure into the supply pipe 30 is provided, the valve 55 is the supply pipe 30 And the supply pipe 22 of the water tank 20 is preferably disposed.

Moreover, it is preferable that the tool main body 10 is provided with the operation switch 65 which operates the opening-closing operation | movement of the valve 55 in the handle 12 part.

The operation switch 65 has a function of releasing the liquid shutoff state of the valve 55 through the link mechanism 67 according to the user's pressing operation, and when the release state is released, the operation of the switch 55 causes the valve 55 to have a liquid. Adopt a known mechanical button switch having a function of blocking the.

In addition, the present invention, as shown in Figure 8, the pumping means may be combined with the pump 45 and the electric pump 40 to be selectively adopted by the user, the components according to the above-described embodiments Duplicate explanations will be omitted since they are the same.

Referring to the operation of each embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration as follows.

When the cleaning tool according to the present invention is described as an example of washing a vehicle, when the pumping means is the electric pump 40, the connector terminal 70 is connected to the cigar jack lighter portion of the vehicle. When the switch 60 is operated to supply the vehicle power to the electric pump 40, the electric pump 40 is driven to generate the delivery pressure in the supply pipe 30.

By this delivery pressure, the liquid in the water tank 20 is pumped to the nozzle 32 side through the supply pipe 30, and is injected outside.

Subsequently, the operator can wash the vehicle using the brush 14 while wiping the liquid sprayed on the surface of the vehicle.

On the other hand, when the user wants the steam function, by operating the switch 60 to supply power to the heater 100 side, the supply pipe in contact with the heater 100 is self-heated by the pumping pressure of the liquid pump 40 Supply to (30) side to generate steam steamed.

Subsequently, steam may be discharged to the outside through each nozzle 32 of the supply pipe 30.

At this time, the supply pipe 30 is wound in a form in which the supply pipe 30 located on the outside surrounds the inner supply pipe 30 and the inner supply pipe 30 directly contacts the outer circumferential surface of the heater 100 to the outside. Since the heat is easily prevented from being discharged, the inner supply pipe 30 receives heat from the heater 100 and is insulated by the outer supply pipe 30 located in the heated state so that the liquid is quickly removed. It can be vaporized.

In addition, when the cleaning object is an object other than a vehicle, there is a possibility that power may not be supplied. In this case, the pump is a manual pumping device 45 as a pumping means, and the user is located at the upper side of the water tank 20. When the upper and lower reciprocating operations are carried out while the 45 is held, the pumping pressure is generated in the water tank 20.

Subsequently, when the valve 55 is opened by pressing the operation switch 65, the liquid in the water tank 20 is injected to the outside through the nozzle 32 through the supply pipe 30.

Therefore, the present invention can be selectively adopted according to the user's convenience by combining the electric pump 40 and the manual pump 45 as a pumping means, the user can also select the use of steam.
