In addition, the exterior of the main body 110 constitutes the external appearance of the handy vacuum cleaner 100, and various components constituting the handy vacuum cleaner 100 may be disposed inside the main body 110. Meanwhile, the main body 110 may be formed to have a shape extending along one direction as shown in the figure. In addition, a battery 101 for driving the ionizer 120 and the driving fan 130, which will be described later, may be disposed inside the body 110. The main body 110 may include a first terminal 113 connected to an external power source for charging the battery 101.

The air inlet 111 may be formed of at least one opening for allowing the air outside the main body 110 to flow into the main body 110, more specifically, into the flow path portion. In addition, the air inlet 111 may be formed to correspond to a shape in which the main body 110 extends in one direction from the side surface of the main body 110, as shown in FIG.

The handy vacuum cleaner 100 is configured to be rotatable on the passage portion corresponding to the air inlet 111 so as to separate foreign materials on the clean surface facing the air inlet 111 by the rotation, And an agitator motor 161 for applying a rotational force to the agitator 160. The agitator 160 may include a plurality of agitators 160, In addition, the portion of the edge table 160, which is in contact with the cleaning surface, may be made of carbon fiber.

The air discharge port 112 communicates the flow path portion and the outside of the main body 110 to provide an opening through which air introduced into the flow path portion through the air inlet port 122 is discharged again out of the main body 110.

The ionizer 120 is provided inside the body 110 and is configured to generate ions. The ions generated in the ionizer 120 may be composed of an anion and a cation. The anion and the cation may be various harmful substances contained in the air, for example, harmful bacteria, allergenic substances such as bacteria, viruses, And the like, and has an effect of inhibiting the activities of the noxious bacteria, bacteria, viruses and the like.

The driving fan 130 is disposed on the flow path portion of the main body 110 and allows the outside air to flow into the flow path portion. The ions generated in the ionizer 120 move along the flow path portion So as to generate a suction force. For example, the driving fan 130 may include a plurality of impellers and may be configured to generate the suction force by causing a flow of air as the impeller is rotated with respect to the rotating shaft.

The flow of the air generated in the flow path portion when the driving fan 130 is driven will be described.

[

The main body 110 includes the main body 110 having the flow path portion formed between the air inlet 111 and the air outlet 112 to form an air flow path. The driving fan 130 is disposed on the flow path portion to generate a suction force to introduce external air into the flow path portion, and at the same time, Ions are moved along the flow path portion. According to the structure of the handy vacuum cleaner 100, the contaminated air flowing into the channel portion from the outside is sterilized by the ions flowing along the channel portion and discharged to the outside through the air outlet 112 in a clean state And the inside of the main body 110 having the flow path portion is also sterilized or sterilized by the ions, thereby greatly reducing the level of contamination to the inside of the main body 110.

Meanwhile, the handy vacuum cleaner 100 may further include a dust container 140

The dust container 140 is formed between the air inlet 111 and the air outlet 112 and is disposed on the flow path forming the air flow path to store the dust contained in the air flowing into the flow path portion. Here, the driving fan 130 may generate the suction force such that the ions generated in the ionizer 120 are introduced into the dust container 140.

Meanwhile, the dust container 140 may be disposed between the ionizer 120 and the driving fan 130. According to this arrangement, the dust contained in the air flowing into the flow path from the outside is first filtered at the dust box 140, and the dust-filtered air passes through the driving fan 130, The degree of contamination by this dust can be greatly reduced. However, the driving fan 130 may be disposed between the ionizer 120 and the dust container 140 although not shown in the drawing.

In addition, the handy vacuum cleaner 100 may further include a filter unit 150.

The filter unit 150 may be disposed on the flow path of the air passing through the dust container 140 after flowing into the flow path unit to filter out foreign substances contained in the air.

The air flowing outside the main body 110 flows into the air inlet 111 and then flows into the air inlet 111 through the air inlet 111. In the vacuum cleaner 100, The dust is separated by the filter unit 150 and collected in the dust container 140 while being mixed with the ions generated in the ionizer 120 and filtered to remove the air outlet 112 And the ions generated in the ionizer 120 move along the flow path portion to cause a sterilization action in the dust path 140 and the air introduced into the flow path portion, And is discharged to the outside. Accordingly, various harmful substances remaining in the dust container 140 can be sterilized or killed by the ions moving along the flow path portion.

Meanwhile, the handy type vacuum cleaner 100 may further include a blowing unit (not shown).

The air blower may be disposed inside the main body 110 and may cause the air generated by the ionizer 120 to flow out through the air inlet 111 to the outside. Accordingly, the ions generated in the ionizer 120 cause the sterilizing or sterilizing action on the outside space of the handy vacuum cleaner 100, that is, the outside area of the main body 110, as well as the inside of the main body 110 .

In addition, the blower may be provided in the ionizer 120, and may include the ionizer 120 and one body. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned ionizer, and the ions may be disposed at other positions in the main body 110 where the ions may flow toward the air inlet 111. Meanwhile, the handy type vacuum cleaner 100 may be configured to stop the driving of the driving fan 130 when the blowing unit is driven. Accordingly, the ions can be smoothly discharged to the air inlet 111 by the blowing unit without being disturbed by the suction force of the driving fan 130.

In addition, the blower may be configured to be tilting so that the angle of the blower may be adjusted with respect to the air inlet. According to this configuration, since the blowing direction of the ions can be adjusted by the blowing unit, the sterilizing action region of the ions discharged to the outside of the handy type vacuum cleaner 100 can be selectively controlled.
