[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary type mop cleaner,

The present invention relates to a rotary mop cleaner. More specifically, it is possible to control the rotating speed of the wet-cloth in accordance with the user's operation so that the rotating speed of the wet-cloth can be adjusted according to the contamination state of the bottom surface of the cleaning or the user's need, It is possible to reduce the operation noise by applying the means as bevel gear, and it is possible to use separate auxiliary battery, so that even if the main battery is discharged during the cleaning process, it is possible to start the cleaning operation conveniently and quickly using the auxiliary battery The present invention relates to a rotary mop cleaner capable of sweeping the floor together with a function of collecting dust by sweeping the floor by sweeping the dust in the cleaning process.

The floor of living room or office of general household is cleaned by various methods. In ordinary households, the cloth is cleaned using a wet cloth, and in the office, a wet cloth made of cloth or a bundle of laces is cleaned using a bag mop coupled to the bag.

If you use a wet-cloth in your home to clean it, you will not be able to clean it for a long time due to your knees and waist. There is a disadvantage that the mop that is cleaned in the office is not cleaned properly because the part of wet cloth made of cloth is attached to the bag so that it can not be cleaned cleanly.

Recently, a variety of cleaning tools in the form of a mop-type that can be used at home have been developed with emphasis on ease of use. Particularly, in recent years, a rotary mop cleaner configured to rotate the mop by a motor on the bottom surface of the main body has been developed.

Such a rotary type mop cleaner generally comprises a main body housing, an operation support base coupled to the main body housing so as to move the main body housing, a rotating plate rotatably coupled to the bottom surface of the main body housing, A wet cloth, and the like. At this time, the pair of rotating plates are configured to rotate in opposite directions to each other.

In the rotary mop cleaner having the above-described structure, the wet cloth is rotated together with the rotating plate. Therefore, even if the cleaner is not pressed against the floor of the room during the cleaning process, the contaminants on the bottom surface of the room can be cleanly wiped off by the rotation of the wet cloth. Dusts in the form of lumps on the floor surface of the room are scattered to the outside of the main body housing by the rotation of the wet cloth, thereby causing the indoor space to be dirty.

In addition, since the rotating speed of the rotating plate is generally set to be constant, it is necessary to operate the cleaner for a relatively long period of time according to the contamination state of the bottom surface of the room, which is inconvenient to use. There is a problem such that noise is caused to a large extent and noise generation is caused in the neighboring households when operated when the noise is quiet as in the late hours.

As described above, the pair of main rotating plates 400 and the wet cloth 10 rotate to collect dust, and the dust receiving portion 600 collects dust.

By the rotation direction of the main rotation plate 400 and the function of wiping the floor during the cleaning operation by the dust receiving portion 600, it is possible to perform the function of collecting the dust on the floor and to exert more excellent cleaning performance.

6, the dust receiving portion 600 may be formed in a simple case shape. The dust receiving portion 600 may protrude downward from the lower end surface of the main body housing 100 as shown in FIG. 6, And a dust inlet 620 formed at a front end of the dust collecting case 610 so that the dust D can be introduced into the dust collecting case 610. [

At this time, the dust storage unit 611 may be formed at the rear end of the dust collection case 610 in a downwardly convex shape so that the dust D introduced into the internal space can be stably stored without being discharged to the outside again. An elastic contact portion 612 may be formed at the front end portion of the elastic member 610 so that the lower end of the elastic contact portion 612 is elastically contacted to the ground surface E so that the dust D can flow smoothly.

A sterilizing lamp 500 may be mounted on the main body housing 100 so as to irradiate sterilizing light to the front side of the lower end surface of the main housing 100. The sterilizing lamp 500 may be an infrared lamp or an ultraviolet lamp. The sterilizing lamp 500 may be mounted on a separate lamp mounting part (not shown) formed in the main housing 100. The lamp mounting part may include a transparent or semitransparent lamp cover And a reflection plate (not shown) mounted on the inner space of the lamp cover to reflect the sterilizing light of the sterilizing lamp 500 in all directions to diffuse and irradiate the sterilizing light.

By irradiating the sterilizing light to the front side of the main housing 100 through the sterilizing lamp 500 as described above, it is possible to sterilize the foreign substances and the like present on the floor surface. In particular, sterilizing light can be irradiated The disinfecting function of the wet cloth 10 or the disposable mop 20 can be performed at the same time, so that the disinfecting function can be simultaneously performed in addition to the simple cleaning function in the cleaning operation.
