Description

Vacuum cleaner capable of inhaling moisture{VACUUM CLEANER}

The present invention is rotatably coupled to the bottom of the body assembly on which the handle is mounted, and the vacuum cleaner is provided with a contaminated air suction member that sucks contaminated air including liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt from the bottom surface by the suction power of the vacuum motor. In this case, the contaminated air is connected to communicate with the contaminated air intake member, and the contaminated air sucked through the contaminated air inhaling member is filled with water at a predetermined height, and the liquid or foreign matter in the contaminated air by direct contact with water. , It relates to a vacuum cleaner capable of inhaling moisture, characterized in that a mixer for purifying by removing dust and dirt is detachably coupled to the body assembly.

A typical vacuum cleaner includes a body, a connection hose connected to the body, a plurality of extension pipes connected to the connection hose, and a suction port connected to the end of the extension pipe, and the cover is installed to be able to open and close rotationally. A connecting hose is connected to. Further, a dust collecting chamber is provided inside the main body, and a filter for collecting dirt such as dust is detachably accommodated in the dust collecting chamber.

In such a conventional vacuum cleaner, dirt with suction air is sucked through the suction port by suction force by a vacuum motor installed inside the body, and suction air and dirt sucked are introduced into the body through an extension pipe and a connecting hose. The silver was collected in a filter housed in the dust collecting chamber of the main body, and the suction air passed through the paper filter and was discharged to the outside of the main body.

However, in a conventional vacuum cleaner, dust and dirt sucked together with air through the inlet are all collected in one filter housed in the dust collecting chamber of the main body, so the filter is easily filled with dirt, but the filter is filled with dirt. As the suction power of the cotton vacuum cleaner is lowered, as well as the overload of the motor, there is a inconvenience in use that the filter must be changed frequently.

In addition, the conventional vacuum cleaner has a fatal problem in that fine dust among dust sucked through the suction port passes through the filter and is discharged into the air as it is. That is, dust having a certain size or more among the air sucked together with high-pressure air is caught in the filter, but fine dust having a certain size or less passes through the filter as it is and is discharged back into the air. The fine dust discharged into the atmosphere is very light, so it floats in the air for a considerable amount of time and eventually enters the body through the respiratory tract.A recent study shows that the fine dust penetrates deep into the lungs through the respiratory tract. Since fine dust that has entered into is not well discharged, it has a more adverse effect on health than large dust. Therefore, in order to safely use a convenient vacuum cleaner, it was necessary to prevent microadhesives from scattering to the outside.

In order to solve the problems of such a conventional vacuum cleaner, cyclones such as Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0026208 (published on March 11, 2009) and Patent Publication No. 10--1176057 (registered on August 16, 2012), etc. A vacuum cleaner with a dust collector (centrifuge) has been proposed.

Cyclone vacuum cleaners that separate particles in the fluid using centrifugal force reduce the amount of dirt collected by the filter by first filtering and collecting relatively large particles of dirt sucked through the suction port before flowing into the paper filter of the cleaner body. Therefore, the filter can be used for a longer period of time, and a reduction in suction power and overload of the motor caused by the filter being easily filled with dirt can be prevented.

However, such a conventional cyclone vacuum cleaner has a cumbersome problem in that when a liquid (for example, water on the floor surface) is sucked through the suction port, it is directly connected to the failure of the vacuum motor. , There was a problem that enormous costs were consumed due to repair or replacement of the vacuum motor when inhaling liquid. In addition, the sucked liquid is discharged to the exhaust port of the vacuum motor, so that the surroundings are dirty, so that cleaning is required again.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0465529, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0443402, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0118812, Korean Patent No. 10-0800641, etc. However, the conventionally disclosed wet vacuum cleaner does not have a structure that completely cleans the suctioned air while passing water, and there is a limitation in that a portion of the air is in contact with water even in terms of cleaning efficiency, and water and air are mixed or reverse flow. In order to prevent this, there was a limit to having a complex structure.

The present invention was invented to solve the above problems, and contaminated air vacuumed through the contaminated air suction member is put into the water to remove foreign matter, dust, and dirt in the contaminated air by direct contact with water. In particular, when moisture on the floor is sucked in a vacuum, it is mixed with water and separated from the air to prevent moisture from flowing into the vacuum motor, and for user convenience, a vacuum cleaner capable of automatically washing wet mops is provided. There is a purpose.

For the above purposes, the present invention is a contaminated air suction member that is rotatably coupled to the lower end of a body assembly on which a handle is mounted, and sucks contaminated air including liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt from the bottom surface by the suction power of a vacuum motor.

It is characterized in that a mixer that removes and purifies liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt in contaminated air is detachably coupled to the body assembly.

In addition, in the present invention, the mixer has a first vacuum port in communication with the vacuum motor formed at the top to form a vacuum therein, and a first suction port through which the polluted air sucked through the polluted air suction member is vacuum sucked. A casing formed on one side and filled with water to a predetermined height; A first induction part for transferring the polluted air sucked through the first suction port from the bottom to the top; The lower part is immersed in water to a predetermined height, and the contaminated air inlet is formed at the top and the first inlet is formed at the bottom so that contaminated air transferred to the top through the first induction part can be transferred to the bottom and injected into the water. A second induction unit; The first vacuum port is formed through the first vacuum port so that the contaminated air is introduced into the water through the first inlet, and then transferred to the first vacuum port, and is formed between the first vacuum port and the first inlet. It characterized in that it includes; 1 vacuum unit.

In addition, in the present invention, the first inlet is characterized in that it is formed at an eccentric position from the center of the second induction part so that the contaminated air injected into the second induction part is circumferentially introduced into the water to be mixed and stirred smoothly with water.

In addition, in the present invention, the first vacuum unit is close to the first vacuum port so that the purified air discharged out of the water is decelerated when it moves toward the first vacuum port so that the water contained in the purified air is naturally separated and recovered from the air by gravity. It is characterized in that the cross-sectional area is formed wider as it decreases.

In addition, the present invention is provided with a water separator for separating the moisture contained in the purified air discharged out of the water after being purified through the mixer, the water separator, the second vacuum port communicating with the vacuum motor is at the top A separation pass through which a vacuum is formed inside; A second suction port formed to communicate with the first vacuum port inside the casing and through which the purified air discharged from the water after being purified through the mixer is vacuum sucked; A guide passage for transferring the purified air sucked through the second suction port from the bottom to the top; A second inlet formed at one side of the separating vessel so that the purified air transferred through the guide passage can be introduced into the separating vessel; And a second vacuum unit formed between the second vacuum port and the second inlet and through which a vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor is applied to suck the injected purified air into the second vacuum port.

In addition, in the present invention, the separator is formed in a cone shape gradually narrowing from the top to the bottom, and the second inlet is eccentric so that the purified air sucked through the second inlet is circumferentially introduced into the separator in a helical direction. The vacuum suction pipe is vertically provided so that one end communicates with the second vacuum port and the other end is positioned lower than the second inlet at the center of the upper end of the separator, and the purified air injected into the separator In the process of turning along the spiral direction by the centrifugal force, moisture in the purified air is separated by weight, and only air from which moisture is removed is sucked and discharged to the second vacuum port.

In addition, in the present invention, a second vacuum port blocking member capable of flowing up and down by buoyancy is provided in the separating container to prevent the water from flowing into the vacuum motor through the second vacuum port due to an increase in the water level of the separated water. It characterized in that it is provided.

In addition, in the present invention, a water mop is provided inside the contaminated air suction member through the power of the motor in front of the suction port through which the vacuum suction of the vacuum motor acts, and a water supply in which water is stored therein is at one side of the body assembly. The tank is detachably mounted, and one end is connected to the water supply tank and the other end is disposed above the mop, and a washing water pipe supplying the water inside the water supply tank to the mop is built-in. When supplied, the mop is wet so that foreign matter on the floor can be wiped clean, and the direction of the suction port is directed toward the floor and the mop at the same time so that foreign matter on the floor and moisture from the mop can be sucked at the same time. As the water mop is sufficiently supplied with water, it is possible to clean the mop and wash the mop at the same time, and when the water supply is stopped, a vacuum suction input is applied from the rear of the mop to remove the residual moisture from the mop and dry naturally. .

In addition, the water supply tank according to the present invention is equipped with a positive electrode part and a negative electrode part to electrolyze the water stored therein to generate electrolytic sterilized water, and supply the electrolytic sterilized water to the water mop through the washing water pipe to simultaneously supply the water mop and the floor. It is characterized in that it can be sterilized.

The present invention made as described above efficiently removes foreign matter, dust, and dirt in the contaminated air as the water filled in the casing and the contaminated air sucked through the contaminated air suction member come into direct contact with the water in the water while the inside of the mixer becomes a vacuum state. In particular, when moisture on the bottom surface is vacuum-sucked, it is mixed with water and naturally separated from the air, so that the vacuum motor can be protected from moisture.

In addition, in the present invention, contaminated air and water can be smoothly mixed and stirred by allowing contaminated air to be swirled in a spiral direction through a first inlet formed eccentrically to a second induction part provided inside the mixer. Purification efficiency can be maximized by increasing the area and time in which air is in contact with water.

In addition, the present invention reduces the speed when the first vacuum portion formed between the first vacuum port and the first inlet in the mixer has a wider cross-sectional area from the bottom to the top, so that the purified air discharged from the water moves toward the first vacuum port. Thus, the water contained in the purified air can be naturally separated from the air by gravity, and thus water can be prevented from being sucked into the vacuum motor through the first vacuum port.

In addition, the present invention allows the purified air discharged out of the water to be introduced into the water separator to separate the moisture contained in the purified air. When the separated water gradually collects and the water level inside the water separator increases, the second vacuum port The blocking member rises due to buoyancy and blocks the second vacuum port to prevent moisture from being sucked into the vacuum motor.

In addition, in the present invention, when the water from the water supply tank is supplied to the mop, the mop is wet and can cleanly wipe off the foreign matter on the floor, and the direction of the suction port faces the bottom surface and the mop at the same time to simultaneously inhale Through this, when cleaning the mop, water is sufficiently supplied to the mop, which is continuously rotating, so that cleaning of the mop and cleaning of the mop is possible at the same time, and when the water supply is stopped, vacuum suction is applied from the rear of the mop to remove residual moisture from the mop. It can be allowed to dry naturally. Therefore, it is possible to omit the operation of washing the mop after cleaning.

In addition, an electrolysis device is provided in the water supply tank to generate electrolytic sterilization water and supply it to the mop through the washing water pipe, thereby having a remarkable effect of sterilizing the mop and the floor.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings to be described in more detail with respect to the vacuum cleaning capable of suctioning water according to the present invention.

In the present invention, the vacuum cleaner means that contaminated air including liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt is sucked from the bottom surface by the suction power of the handle 20 and the vacuum motor M at the top and bottom of the body assembly 10, respectively. Refers to a general vacuum cleaner provided with the contaminated air suction member 30.

In the above-described vacuum cleaner, the cleaning effect can be maximized by allowing contaminated air sucked in vacuum to be introduced into water and mixed with water to remove liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt in the contaminated air. It is a technical feature to prevent moisture from flowing into the vacuum motor by allowing moisture to be naturally separated from the air while being mixed with water when the moisture of is sucked in a vacuum with contaminated air.

For the above purposes, the present invention includes a mixer 100 for mixing contaminated air sucked in vacuum with water.

The mixer 100 is detachably coupled to the body assembly, and includes a casing 110, a first induction part 120, a second induction part 130, and a first vacuum part 140.

The casing 110 is hollow inside and has a predetermined height and width, and a first vacuum hole 111 communicating with the vacuum motor M is formed on the upper side to form a vacuum therein, and on the bottom surface A first suction port 112 through which the polluted air sucked through the polluted air suction member is vacuum sucked is formed.

The casing is filled with water to purify liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt in the contaminated air to a predetermined height while being mixed with the contaminated air sucked in vacuum.

The first induction part 120 and the second induction part 130 are provided inside the casing 110. The first induction part 120 transfers contaminated air sucked through the first inlet 112 from the bottom to the top, and the second induction part 130 is submerged in water to a predetermined height and the first induction part The contaminated air inlet 121 is formed at the top and a first inlet 131 is formed at the bottom so that the contaminated air transferred to the top can be transferred to the bottom and injected into the water.

The first vacuum unit 140 allows contaminated air to be introduced into the water through the first inlet 131 so that the contaminated air is in contact with the water, thereby removing liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt contained in the contaminated air. It is formed through the first vacuum port so as to be transported to the first vacuum port to act as a vacuum suction input, and is formed between the first vacuum port 111 and the first inlet 131.

In the present invention including the mixer 100 as described above, the contaminated air sucked through the contaminated air suction member 30 can be put into the water to be purified, and in particular, when the moisture on the bottom surface is sucked in a vacuum, it is mixed with the water. As it is naturally separated from the air, it can protect the vacuum motor from moisture.

Next, in the present invention, the first inlet 131 may be formed at a position eccentric from the center of the second induction part 130.

When the inside of the mixer 100 is in a vacuum state, water filled in the second induction unit 130 by vacuum suction and the contaminated air sucked through the contaminated air suction member 30 are casing through the first inlet 131. (110) It is introduced into the water filled inside, and when the first inlet 131 is formed eccentrically on one side from the center of the second induction part 130, the contaminated air is swirled and injected in a helical direction to smoothly mix and stir with water. It can be induced to be, and a spiral direction is generated inside the casing 110 so that water and contaminated air can be continuously contacted, and the time that contaminated air stays in the water can be increased, thus maximizing purification efficiency. can do. In addition, it is possible to prevent bubbles from floating on the water surface by naturally removing bubbles generated in the water by continuous mixing and stirring of contaminated air and water. Moreover, when the spiral direction of the rotational force is generated, resistance to the introduction and flow of contaminated air is reduced, thereby improving vacuum suction efficiency.

If the first inlet 131 is not formed eccentrically, the contaminated air is simply injected into the water, so the spiral direction does not generate a swirling force, so mixing and stirring of the contaminated air and water cannot be induced. After staying for a relatively short period of time, it is discharged out of the water, resulting in a problem of deteriorating purification efficiency. In addition, as bubbles are formed in the water, the area in which contaminated air can contact water is reduced as much as the area of the bubbles, so purification efficiency is lowered, and interference is generated by bubbles floating on the water surface when purified air is discharged out of the water. Not desirable.

4A to 4C are schematic exemplified diagrams for explaining the principle of improving purification efficiency as polluted air is swirled and injected in a spiral direction.

First, as shown in FIG. 4A, water (W) is filled up to the same water level inside the first vacuum unit 140 and the second induction unit 130, so that the first inlet 131 is submerged in the water, and the mixer ( 100) When the vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor M acts inside, a vacuum is formed in the first vacuum part 140, and the water inside the second induction part 130 is discharged through the first inlet 131 to generate a first vibration. It merges with the water filled in the study 140.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4C, a vacuum suction input is applied to the contaminated air suction member so that the contaminated air on the bottom surface is sucked through the first suction port 112 and sequentially passes through the first guide unit 120 and the second guide unit 130. Then, through the first inlet 131, the liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt in the contaminated air are removed while being swirled in the water filled in the first vacuum part along the spiral direction and mixed and stirred with water. Purified air discharged from the water is discharged to the first vacuum port 111 through the first vacuum unit 140.

Conventional cyclone vacuum cleaners inhale contaminated air on the floor and then centrifuge to separate foreign matter, dust, and dirt from the air.When liquid (moisture) is sucked together with contaminated air, liquid is removed from the air. Since it was not possible to provide a separable function, there was a cumbersome problem in that it must be checked whether a liquid exists on the bottom surface. If liquid (water, beverage, food) is sucked, there is a problem that enormous costs are incurred for repair or replacement of the vacuum motor.

In the present invention, since the liquid in the contaminated air is mixed with the water inside the casing 110 and separated from the air, there is no need to check the condition of the floor during cleaning, and the repair or replacement cost of the vacuum motor due to liquid suction can be reduced. There is a remarkable effect.

Next, FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration showing a mixer 100 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the mixer 100 ′ has a first vacuum tool 111 ′ communicating with the vacuum motor. A casing 110 ′ formed on the upper side to form a vacuum inside and filled with water to a predetermined height is provided, and a first suction port 112 ′ through which contaminated air sucked through the contaminated air suction member is vacuum-sucked. It is provided outside the casing 110 ′.

In addition, a first induction part 120 ′ that transfers contaminated air sucked through the first suction port 112 ′ from the bottom to the top is provided outside the casing 110 ′, and the bottom is immersed in water to a predetermined height. In addition, a second induction part 130 ′ having a first inlet 131 ′ formed at the lower end of the casing 110 ′ so that the contaminated air transferred to the upper part through the first induction part can be transferred to the lower part and injected into the water. ) Is provided inside.

In addition, between the first vacuum port 111 ′ and the first inlet 131 ′, the purified air discharged from the water after liquid, foreign matter, dust, and dirt are removed by contact with water. A first vacuum part 140 ′ is formed, through which a vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor to be sucked into (111 ′) acts.

Here, it is preferable that the first inlet 131 ′ is formed at a position eccentric from the center of the second induction part 130 ′. This reason is to provide a helical rotational force to the polluted air, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the mixer 100 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor M acts, the water filled in the casing 110 ′ passes through the inlet 131 ′ to the inside of the second induction part 130 ′. After being introduced into the furnace, contaminated air is sucked through the first suction port 112 ′. The sucked polluted air is introduced into the casing 110 ′ through the first induction part 120 ′, and then is sucked into the second induction part 130 ′ through the first inlet 131 ′.

Here, the contaminated air is sucked (injected) while rotating in a spiral direction through the first inlet 131 ′ at an eccentric position and is actively mixed and stirred with water to be purified, and the purified air discharged out of the water after purification is first It is discharged through the vacuum hole 111 ′.

On the other hand, in the mixer 100 of FIGS. 2 to 4C, a first suction port 112 through which contaminated air is vacuum sucked is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the casing 110, and contaminated air sucked through the first suction port 112 is casing. The first induction part and the second induction part of the inner central part of the are sequentially penetrated into the water, whereas the mixer 100 ′ of FIG. 5 has a first inlet 112 ′ and a first induction part 120 ′ in the casing 110. ′), the contaminated air is sucked into the casing from the outside, and then injected into the water. As shown in FIG. 5, the first suction port 112 ′ and the first induction part 120 ′ are connected to the casing 110 ′. When it protrudes outward, the volume of the cleaner increases, and the efficiency is not good because centrifugal force is generated from the time when the contaminated air is introduced into the second induction part 120 ′. Accordingly, it is preferable to have a structure as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4C so that the beautiful appearance of the cleaner can be secured, the volume can be reduced, and a uniform centrifugal force is generated from the point when contaminated air is sucked.

Next, in the present invention, it is preferable that the first vacuum part 140 has a wider cross-sectional area as it approaches the first vacuum hole 111.

This uses the principle of a diffuser whose cross-sectional area is gradually formed to be wider in order to convert kinetic energy of a fluid (gas, liquid) into pressure energy. According to this, the first vacuum unit 140 is a first vacuum tool ( 111), the pressure decreases, so that the purified air discharged out of the water is decelerated when it moves toward the first vacuum port 111, so that the moisture contained in the purified air is naturally separated from the air by gravity. Purified air, which has been recovered to the bottom surface and from which moisture has been removed, is discharged to the outside through the first vacuum port 111. The present invention including the first vacuum unit 140 can protect the vacuum motor by preventing residual moisture in the purified air passing through the first vacuum port 111.

In Figs. 2 to 5 for aiding detailed description and understanding of the mixers 100 and 100 ′ according to the present invention, a vacuum suction input acts on the upper part of the casing to form the first vacuum ports 111 and 111 ′ on the upper part of the casing, and the lower part of the casing Although it is assumed that the first suction ports 112 and 112 ′ are formed, this is only an example to aid understanding of the present invention and is not limited to the scope of the present invention. For example, when a vacuum suction input is applied under the casing, the first vacuum ports 111 and 111 ′ may be formed under the casing, and the first suction ports 112 and 112 ′ may be formed at the upper part of the casing.

Next, the present invention includes a water separator 200 for separating residual moisture contained in the air purified through the mixer 100.

Referring to FIG. 6, the water separator is provided with a separator 210 in which a second vacuum hole 211 communicating with the vacuum motor is formed on the upper portion and a vacuum is formed therein.

In addition, a second suction port 212 communicating with the first vacuum port 111 is formed at the lower portion of the upper part of the mixer so that the purified air discharged from the water after being purified through the mixer is vacuum sucked, and the second suction port A guide flow path 220 is formed to transfer the purified air sucked through from the bottom to the top.

In addition, a purified air inlet 213 is formed at one side of the separating vessel so that the purified air transferred through the guide passage 220 can be injected into the separating vessel, and the second vacuum port 211 and the purified air inlet Between the 213, a second vacuum part 230 is formed to act as a vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor to allow the purified air sucked through the second suction port 212 to be sucked into the second vacuum port.

As shown in Figure 6, the water separator 200 is contained in the air by injecting the purified air sucked and transferred from the bottom to the top through the second inlet 212 from the top to the bottom of the separator through the purified air inlet 213. The moisture is naturally separated from the air by gravity. In Fig. 6, reference numeral F1 denotes the separation water.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a vacuum suction input is applied from the upper portion of the separating vessel 210 to form a second vacuum port 211 in the upper portion of the separating vessel, and the second inlet 212 is formed in the lower portion. It is only an example for helping the understanding of the present invention and is not limited to the scope of the present invention. For example, when a vacuum suction input is applied to the lower part of the separator, the second vacuum port 211 may be formed in the lower part of the separator container, and the second suction port 212 may be formed at the upper part.

Next, Figures 7 and 8 are schematic diagrams for explaining a water separator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 is for explaining the principle that the mixer and the water separator are interlocked according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a schematic illustration. In FIG. 9, reference numerals A to E are symbols sequentially indicating the flow of air in alphabetical order, reference numeral F is a symbol indicating separated water separated from the first purified air through a water separator, and F1 is a water separator. It is a sign indicating the number of separations collected on the bottom surface of.

7 and 8, the separator 210 is formed in a cone shape gradually narrowing from the top to the bottom, and the purified air inlet 213 is the purified air discharged from the water (hereinafter referred to as "first purified air". It is formed in an eccentric position on the top of the separator so that it is inserted into the vortex while maintaining the helical direction of the slewing force.

In addition, a vacuum suction pipe 240 having one end communicating with the second vacuum port 211 and the other end positioned lower than the purified air inlet 213 is vertically provided at the center of the upper end of the separator.

When the vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor acts, the air inside the mixer 100 and the water separator 200 is preferentially discharged to the outside through the vacuum suction pipe 240, and external contaminated air as shown in reference numerals A to C is removed. 1 Through the inlet 131, it is swirled and sucked in the water in the spiral direction, and is purified by mixing and stirring with the water inside the casing.

The first purified air discharged out of the water passes through the first vacuum unit 140 and is introduced into the separator 210 through the purified air inlet 213 as shown in the reference numeral D, and is rotated along the spiral direction by centrifugal force. (F1) is separated by weight and the second purified air from which moisture has been removed is sucked and discharged to the second vacuum port 211 through the second vacuum unit 230 as shown in E.

The present invention including the moisture separator as described above has a remarkable effect of preventing residual moisture contained in the first purified air passing through the mixer from being sucked into or discharged to the outside by a vacuum motor.

Next, the present invention includes a second vacuum tool blocking member 300 that prevents moisture from flowing into the second vacuum port 211 due to an increase in the water level inside the separator.

If contaminated air containing a large amount of liquid and foreign matter is continuously inhaled, the moisture content in the first purified air purified through the mixer 100 increases, and thus the water level inside the separator 210 gradually rises. do. Therefore, when the water level reaches a certain level, the second vacuum port should be blocked to prevent the water inside the separator from being sucked into the second vacuum port 211.

FIG. 10 is a schematic illustration showing a second vacuum ball blocking member according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second vacuum ball blocking member 300 is made of a material having buoyancy so as to float on the water filled in the separator. It includes a floater 310 to be formed, a blocking plug 320 formed in a shape corresponding to the cross section of the inner periphery of the second vacuum port 211, and a connecting piece 330 connecting the plotter and the blocking plug.

The second vacuum ball blocking member 300 gradually rises through the floater 310 as the water level increases while floating on the water inside the separator, and when moisture is collected above a certain level, the blocking plug 320 Is raised by buoyancy and blocks the second vacuum port 211, thereby preventing a problem in which water inside the separator is sucked into the vacuum motor.

Here, when the second vacuum port 211 is blocked through the blocking stopper 320, the operation suction noise increases and the user can easily notice it, and the power is cut off (or auto shut off), and the mixer 100 and the separator ( 200) After emptying the water inside, it works again.

On the other hand, in recent years, various vacuum cleaners capable of cleaning a mop have been disclosed. For example, in the case of a vacuum cleaner capable of cleaning the mop on the floor by directly spraying water for a predetermined period of time on a rotating disc-shaped mop, vacuum contaminated air. At the same time as inhalation, a disc-shaped mop wetted with water was continuously rotated to clean the floor. However, the vacuum cleaner is not provided with a configuration capable of separating the liquid separately when the liquid on the bottom surface is sucked together with dust, and thus there is a problem that it is directly connected to the failure of the vacuum motor. In addition, since there is no composition capable of separating the liquid, the amount of water sprayed on the mop is also very small, so the mop cleaning effect is remarkably low, and there is a cumbersome problem that must go through the process of removing the contaminated mop after cleaning.

In addition, there is disclosed a vacuum cleaner that injects washing water onto a floor and then wipes the floor onto which the washing water is sprayed through a mop, and at the same time, a suction force of a vacuum motor acts on the floor to suck dust and washing water together. Since the vacuum cleaner has a separate operation button for spraying the washing water, it is cumbersome and inconvenient because it is necessary to first spray the washing water on the floor through the operation button and then wipe the floor surface with a mop. In addition, the inhaled washing water is recovered to the washing container, but there is a fatal problem in that dust (particularly fine dust) is discharged as it is in the air because a separate means for purifying dust, foreign matter, and dirt in contaminated air is not provided. That is, since the vacuum cleaner only provides a function of separating contaminated air and liquid, it lacks a function of separating dust from the air, and thus, there is a problem in that cleaning efficiency is significantly lowered.

11 is a schematic illustration showing the configuration of the present invention for solving the above-described various problems, the polluted air intake member 30 is provided with a water mop 400 rotated through the power of a motor, the A water supply tank 410 in which water is stored is detachably mounted on one side of the body assembly, and one end is connected to the water supply tank and the other end is disposed above the water mop to supply water inside the water supply tank to the water mop. The washing water pipe 420 is built in. Although not shown in the drawing, it is preferable that an operation unit (not shown) for supplying power to the vacuum motor, driving the rotation of the mop, and supplying water stored in the water supply tank is provided on one side of the body assembly.

In the present invention, by selectively supplying washing water to the mop 400, in a state in which the washing water is not supplied, dust suction vacuum cleaning of the floor surface can be performed through the rotational force of the mop 400 and the suction force of the vacuum motor, When the washing water is supplied to the top of the mop 400, the mop cleaning can be performed at the same time.

When cleaning the mop, a sufficient amount of water is supplied from the top of the rotating mop to clean the floor while the mop is soaked, and the suction port (31), which acts as a vacuum suction input, passes over the floor where the mop has passed. Since moisture is removed, it can provide an excellent cleaning effect.

In addition, as water is supplied to the continuously rotating mop, the floor is cleaned as well as the self-cleaning of the mop at the same time, and the residual moisture in the mop is removed by the vacuum suction applied from the rear of the mop and is naturally dried. It is possible to omit the operation of removing and washing.

On the other hand, the wet mop 400 is provided in front of the suction port 31 through which the vacuum suction input of the vacuum motor acts, and the space where the floor surface and the wet mop 400 intersect in front of the suction port 31 is open. desirable.

12 and 13 are schematic diagrams for comparing the suction port 31 ′ of the vacuum cleaner according to the prior art and the suction port 31 of the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 12, if the front of the suction port 31 ′ acting on the suction force of the vacuum motor is blocked, the residual moisture in the mop cannot be removed through vacuum suction. Therefore, since a sufficient amount of washing water cannot be supplied to the mop, the cleaning condition of the floor surface is not excellent. In addition, when cleaning the mop, while the polluted air intake member 30 moves forward, a small amount of washing water is supplied to the mop to clean the floor, and then the suction port 31 passes over it, Since moisture must be removed, there is an inconvenient problem in that the same floor surface must be moved repeatedly, and there is a cumbersome problem that must be washed after removing the mop after cleaning.

On the other hand, when the front of the suction port 31 is opened as shown in FIG. 13, since a vacuum suction input acts on the rear of the wet mop, foreign substances or contaminated air on the bottom surface removed through the wet mop can be smoothly sucked into the suction port 31. In addition, since the moisture in the mop can be easily removed by vacuum suction, a sufficient amount of washing water can be supplied to the mop to clean the mop. Accordingly, the floor surface can be cleaned more cleanly, and the contaminated air suction member does not need to repeatedly move the same floor surface, thereby providing convenience to the user.

Next, in the present invention, the electrolytic sterilized water is stored in the water supply tank so that the electrolytic sterilized water is supplied through the washing water pipe.

For example, a positive electrode part and a negative electrode part (not shown) are mounted inside the water supply tank to electrolyze water stored in the water supply tank to generate electrolytic sterilized water, and this electrolytic sterilized water may be transferred to a mop through a washing water pipe. If supplied, the mop and floor can be sterilized at the same time.

In addition, tap water or salt water may be stored in the water supply tank, and the positive electrode portion and the negative electrode portion may be plated with titanium (Ti) and iridium (Ir) or plated with titanium (Ti) and platinum (Pt). .

Electrolytic sterilization in the form of hypochlorous acid (HOCL) or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) by reacting with _{water (H 2} 0) and salt (NaCl) when the positive and negative electrodes plated with titanium (Ti) and iridium (Ir) are provided Water is produced, and this electrolytic sterilization water can be used as a disinfectant or deodorant.

In addition, when a positive electrode part and a negative electrode part coated with titanium (Ti) and platinum (Pt) are provided, it _{reacts with water (H 2} 0) and potassium carbonate (K ₂ CO ₃ ) to produce potassium hydroxide (KOH) and potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO). ₃ ) type of electrolytically sterilized water is generated, and this electrolytically sterilized water can be used for cleaning agents such as oil removal.

The present invention as described above has a remarkable effect that the electrolysis device is provided in the water supply tank to generate electrolytic sterilization water and supply it to the mop through the washing water pipe, thereby sterilizing the mop and the floor.
