CLEANING DEVICE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly, to a cleaning device using a cleaning member such as a sponge to easily remove moisture and dust present in a cleaning member after cleaning the surface of the cleaning object.

In general, a cleaning tool such as a toilet is constructed by a structure in which a cleaning member such as a sponge or a brush is installed at one end of a bar having a predetermined length, and the surface of the cleaning object is rubbed with a cleaning member Is used.

After wiping the foreign object with this cleaning tool, rinse the cleaning element with water to remove the foreign object.

However, in most cases, when the water present in the cleaning member is not removed, the possibility of bacterial growth such as a mold is inevitably increased.

Of course, it is possible to squeeze out the water of the cleaning member by hand or to shake it off by hand, but due to hygiene problems, such a method can not help but be reluctant.

Even if the cleaning member is in a state where dust is on the surface of the cleaning member, there is a problem of hygiene as described above, and the cleaning efficiency is lowered when reused.

In addition to the above problems, since the entire bar is formed of a single rod shape, the length of the bar is always fixed, so that the cleaning member does not touch the cleaning point depending on the type of the cleaning object or the environment of the cleaning point, And the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised to solve the problems described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning device that can easily remove dehydration and dust from a cleaning member without having to hold the cleaning member by hand.

In order to achieve this, the present invention provides a bar-shaped mounting bar, a cleaning member formed around the mounting bar, a connecting member connected to the mounting bar and movable along the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar, As shown in Fig.

The mounting bar may include a main bar having a predetermined length and connected to the washing unit at one end thereof, and a handlebar formed at the other end of the main bar, and the pressing unit may be detachably connected to the handle bar .

Further, the pressing portion may be in the form of a hollow tube having an insertion hole, the mounting bar may penetrate the insertion hole, and a flange-shaped pressure induction member may be formed at an end portion facing the cleaning member.

The surface of the pressure induction member facing the cleaning member may be inclined toward the cleaning member toward the outer edge.

Also, the diameter of the insertion hole may be increased toward the inlet toward the washing unit.

The pressing portion may be configured to move one end of the cleaning member in a direction in which the elastic force of the elastic member acts on the elastic member in the moving process, .

The present invention having such various embodiments basically pressurizes the cleaning member while moving the pressing portion along the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar to squeeze out the water contained in the cleaning member or remove the foreign substance, thereby removing water or foreign matter No moisture is left on the hands, so no hygiene problems occur.

Further, since the entire cleaning member is pushed into the insertion hole of the pressing portion and is contracted, the pressing force can be exerted higher than the pressing force using the hand, thereby achieving a higher dewatering effect.

Also, since the cleaning member is in contact with the pressure induction member during the pressing process and is guided into the insertion hole, the cleaning member can be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole, thereby facilitating the dehydration and foreign matter removal process smoothly.

In addition, when the pressing portion is pressed in such a manner that the one end portion of the cleaning member pushes and shrinks, the cleaning member can be smoothly returned to the original state by the elastic force of the elastic member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The cleaning apparatus of the present invention comprises a mounting bar 100, a cleaning member 200, and a pressing unit 300 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, the installation bar 100 serves as a skeleton, a handle, and a movement path of the pressing unit 300 for installation of each component to be described later. The installation bar 100 is divided into a main bar 110 and a handle bar 120 .

The main bar 110 functions as a whole skeleton and serves as a function of installing the cleaning member 200 and the pressing unit 300 and a moving path of the pressing unit 300,

A first stopper 112 in the form of a flange is formed at the front end of the rod as a whole and a second stopper 114 in the form of a flange is formed at a rear point of the first stopper 112.

A threaded portion 116 for coupling with the grip bar 120, which will be described later, is formed around a portion of the main bar 110 extending from the rear end portion toward the front side.

The first and second stoppers 112 and 114 can be deformed into a square bar shape and the like by the main bar 110 in the form of a circular bar. Or may be omitted.

The handlebar 120 constituting the mounting bar 100 together with the main bar 110 functions as a handle of the cleaning device as it is called and serves to fix the position of the pressing portion 300 which will be described later. And a first threaded portion 122 and a second threaded portion 124 are formed on the inner circumferential surface in the form of a hollow tube.

The first screw portion 122 is formed to a predetermined section from the front entrance of the main bar 110 toward the rear side and the second screw portion is formed in the remaining portion toward the rear side from the end of the first screw portion 122.

The diameter of the section where the first screw section 122 is formed is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the section of the second screw section 124 so that the boundary between the first screw section 122 and the second screw section 124 The first step 126 is formed.

In this state, a rotation guide member 128 is formed at the rear end of the main bar 110 to serve as a knob when the main bar 110 rotates, and the rotation guide member 128 has a ring shape So that the entire cleaning device including the main bar can be installed in a state where the rotation guide member 128 is extended over a separate ring or the like.

The mounting bar 100 described above is configured such that the threaded portion 116 of the main bar 110 is inserted into the second threaded portion 124 through the front end of the pulled bar 120 and screwed into the second threaded portion 124, As a result, the main bar 110 protrudes from the front end of the handle bar 120 toward the front side.

When the handle bar 120 is rotated while the main bar 110 is held by the hand by the screw coupling structure between the handle bar 120 and the main bar 110, the main bar 110 is pulled back and forth The length of the main bar 110 protruding from the handle bar 120 is adjusted.

If the protrusion length of the main bar 110 is not required, the screw fastening structure between the main bar 110 and the pull bar 120 may be omitted, and the main bar and the pull bar 120 may be integrally formed with each other The handle bar 120 itself may be omitted and the rear end of the main bar 110 may be used as a handle.

In this mounting bar 100, a cleaning member 200 is installed.

The cleaning member 200 is in contact with the surface of the object to be cleaned to exhibit an actual cleaning function and is made of a material which can be easily reduced in volume by an external pressing force such as a sponge, And the second stopper 114 in the circumferential direction.

The pressing bar 300 is installed on the mounting bar 100 provided up to the cleaning member 200.

The pressing portion 300 functions to remove the dewatering or dust of the cleaning member 200 by pressing the cleaning member 200 so that both ends are opened as a whole as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, And has a hollow tube structure in which insertion holes (310) penetrate both ends thereof.

The pressing portion 300 is positioned between the second stopper 114 and the threaded portion 116 of the main bar 110. When the main bar 110 passes through the insertion hole 310, In the longitudinal direction.

The diameter of the insertion hole 310 is larger than the diameter of the main bar 110 so that a gap for insertion of the cleaning member 200 is formed between the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 310 and the circumferential surface of the main bar 110 312 are formed.

The outer diameter of the rear end portion of the pressing portion 300 is relatively small to be substantially the same as the diameter of the first screw portion 122 of the handlebar 120 and the third screw portion 314 is formed around the corresponding portion.

Therefore, the pressing portion 300 has a structure in which the third screw portion 314 is inserted into the first screw portion 122 of the handle bar 120 in a screwed manner and can be separated from the handle bar 120.

The diameter of the insertion hole 310 is larger than the diameter of the first and second stoppers 112 and 114 so that the first and second stoppers 112 and 114 can be inserted into the insertion hole. The second step 316 is formed inside the point where the first stopper 314 is formed so that the second stop 314 is engaged with the second stop 316 in the moving process of the pressing portion.

A pressing inducing part 320 is formed at the front end of the pressing part 300. The pressing inducing part 320 is provided at the front end of the pressing part 300 so that the pressing part 300 presses the washing member 200 And has a funnel shape in which the diameter of the front end of the pressing portion 300 is expanded toward the cleaning member 200. [

Therefore, the inner diameter of the pressure inducing part 320 gradually decreases toward the insertion hole 310.

For reference, the pressure inducing part 320 is not a necessary component for the cleaning member 200 to enter the pressing part, but may be omitted if it can be easily inserted into the pressing part depending on the shape and size of the cleaning member.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment by this configuration and the unique effects generated in the process will be described.

The pressing portion 300 may be formed by fastening the handle bar 120 to the first screw portion 122 by fastening between the third screw portion 314 and the first screw portion 122 as shown in FIG. And are used in a fixed position.

In this state, in order to adjust the length of the section of the main bar 110 which is drawn out from the pull bar 120, the main bar 110 is held by the other hand while holding the main bar 110 with one hand as shown in FIG. 4 128 to rotate the handle bar 120.

At this time, the main bar 110 is screwed to the handle bar 120 through the threaded portion 116 and the second threaded portion 124. Thus, as the handle bar 120 rotates, the main bar 110 advances forward Or backward, so that the length of the section that is eventually drawn out of the handle bar 120 is adjusted.

Since the length of the main bar 110 can be adjusted, various points can be easily cleaned as compared with the conventional method.

When the use of the cleaning member 200 is completed, the cleaning member 200 is in a state of being faded, and when it is desired to dewater the water in the cleaning member 200 before storage, the pressing member 300 is first rotated The third screw portion 314 and the first screw portion 122 are separated from the handle bar 120 by the pushing portion 300 moving forward by the screw fastening structure.

In this state, when the user holds the pressing portion 300 by hand and moves it forward, the pressing portion 300 is linearly moved forward along the longitudinal direction of the main bar 110. In the course of passing the point where the washing member 200 is located, The member 200 is inserted into the pressing portion 300.

The rear end of the first cleaning member 200 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the pressure inducing portion 320 and is guided into the insertion hole 310. In this state, The entire washing member 200 is inserted into the gap 312 in the insertion hole 310 as the pressing portion 300 continues to advance forward.

At this time, since the pressure inducing part 320 has a funnel shape, the cleaning member 200 can be smoothly guided into the insertion hole 310.

Since the diameter of the insertion hole 310 is smaller than the diameter of the cleaning member 200, the entire circumference of the cleaning member 200 is pressed by the pressing portion 300 to be compressed .

By this compression, the moisture that the cleaning member 200 has faded out is discharged to the outside through both ends of the pressing portion, whereby the cleaning member is dewatered.

As the second stopper 114 is caught by the second step 316 in the pressing part 300 in the course of dewatering by pushing the pressing part 300 forward, it is prevented that the pressing part 300 is excessively moved forward do.

Then, the pressurizing unit 300 is repeatedly moved back and forth so that the above-described cleaning member 200 is repeatedly compressed so that dewatering is repeatedly performed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the cleaning member 200 is compressed and dewatered by the pressing portion during the movement of the pressing portion 300, dehydration can be smoothly performed without contact between the hand and the cleaning member 200 Of course, since the cleaning member is forcedly inserted into the insertion hole 310 having a limited diameter, it is possible to maintain a constant dewatering rate at all times as well as high dewatering force by pressing the cleaning member by hand.

In addition, the pressurizing unit 300 has a handle function and a dehydration function, and of course, it can maintain a constant dehydration rate, so that the application range of the pressurizing unit is wide.

In the above description, only the dehydration process is described in the state where the cleaning member 200 is faded with water such as a sponge. However, even when the cleaning member 200 is formed into a brush shape as shown in FIG. 6, The entrance edge of the insertion hole 310 passes over the surface of the cleaning member 200 while the cleaning member 300 passes the cleaning member 200 and dust or moisture Effect.

7 and 8 illustrate a modification of the present invention in which the pressurizing portion 300 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the main bar 110 to pressurize the cleaning member 200 to perform dehydration And the structure of the cleaning member 200 and the pressing method of the cleaning member 200 by the pressing portion are different from each other.

The second stopper 114 of the present embodiment is formed in a ring shape separately from the main bar 110 and is installed so as to be linearly movable toward the first stopper 112 along the longitudinal direction of the main bar.

Further, the cleaning member 200 is made of a material that is deformable in shape, such as a sponge, as in the above embodiment, while a separate elastic member 400 is formed on the cleaning member 200.

The elastic member 400 serves to guide the shape of the cleaning member 200 after compression,

And is located inside the cleaning member 200 along the longitudinal direction of the cleaning member 200 in the longitudinal direction.

Accordingly, the elastic member 400 is compressed together with the cleaning member 200 in the process of compressing the cleaning member 200 in the longitudinal direction, and at the same time, an elastic force is generated.

In this embodiment having such a structure, as shown in FIG. 8, the second stopper 114 moves forward to push the rear end of the cleaning member 200 in the process of linearly moving the pressing unit 300, The cleaning member 200 is compressed along the longitudinal direction from the rear side toward the front side, and at the same time, the elastic member 400 therein is also compressed.

That is, in the above embodiment, while the cleaning member 200 is forcedly inserted into the pressing portion 300, the peripheral surface is compressed and dehydrated,

The present embodiment is a method in which the cleaning member 200 is not inserted into the pressing portion, but simply the pressing portion pushes the cleaning member rear end portion forward.

In the process of compressing the cleaning member 200, moisture that has been faded is discharged to the outside to dehydrate.

In this state, when the pressing portion 300 is moved backward, the cleaning member 200 expands backward due to the elastic force of the elastic member 400 and returns to its original shape.

As described above, the present embodiment is characterized in that the cleaning member 200 is provided with a separate elastic member 400 so that the original member can be returned to the original state after compression.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications such as a rubber pad and a wire can be used as long as the cleaning member 200 can be returned to its original shape in a compressed state. This is possible.

Although not shown in the figure, the second stopper can be also realized in such a form that the pressing portion pushes the cleaning member directly in a fixed state.

At this time, the diameter of the insertion hole of the pressing portion may be reduced so that the cleaning member is not inserted into the insertion hole during the pressing process.

FIG. 9 shows another modification of the present invention. In the structure in which the above-described two embodiments are combined, that is, the elastic member 400 is installed in the cleaning member 200, The cleaning member 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 310 and compressed.

At this time, the circumferential surface of the cleaning member 200 is compressed in the longitudinal direction from the rear end portion to the front end portion by the moving force of the pressing portion in the process of being inserted into the insertion hole 310.

That is, in the above two embodiments, the compression direction of the cleaning member 200 is one direction from the front or rear or from the peripheral surface to the central portion, while the present embodiment has a structure in which the cleaning member 200 is compressed simultaneously in the longitudinal direction, the left and the right direction.

Therefore, the dehydration efficiency is increased as well as the dehydration time is reduced.

For reference, the deformability and the omissibility of each component mentioned in each embodiment can be applied in combination in each embodiment.

For example, in each of the embodiments, the pressure inducing portion may be omitted or selectively used according to the embodiment, if necessary.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It should be judged that it belongs to the protection scope of the present invention when it is related to the constitution and purpose of facilitating the dehydration or removal of the foreign matter easily and smoothly without direct contact between the hand and the cleaning member.
