Furthermore, when the lengths of the elastic pieces 1133 are different from each other, the positions of the openings 1134 may be changed. In order to form the openings 1134 at a position where the user can easily mount the cleaning module 20, the length may be transformed.

The opening 1134 is formed between the ends of the pair of elastic pieces 1133 and may be defined as an open space into which the cleaning module 20 can be introduced.

The width of the opening 1134 may mean a distance between the ends disposed inside the receiving spaces 111 and 112 of the elastic piece 1133 . That is, the distance between one end of the elastic piece 1133 may be determined by the left and right widths of the contact surface 1132 , and the distance between the other ends may be determined by the width of the opening 1133 .

The width of the opening 1133 may be shorter than the width in the left and right directions of the contact surface 1132 . Accordingly, the separation of the cleaning module 20 mounted to the inner space of the support device 113 can be prevented.

In addition, the opened width of the opening 1133 may be formed to be shorter than the diameter of the cleaning module 20 . A user may apply force to the opening 1133 to spread the cleaning module 20 and forcefully push it in. Therefore, after the cleaning module 20 is disposed in the inner space of the support device 113 , a user's manpower is required to be discharged to the outside again. Through this, it is possible to prevent the cleaning module 20 from being naturally separated from the internal space of the support device 113 .

A structure in which the first cleaning module 21 is mounted in the accommodating part 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7B and 17 .

The accommodating part 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a first accommodating space 111 and a first accommodating surface 114 . The accommodating part 110 of this embodiment is described as being provided on the third outer wall surface 143 for convenience. However, it may be disposed on any one of the outer wall surfaces 140, and it is evident that such a change falls within the scope of the present invention.

One support device 113 may be disposed in the first storage space 111 . The support device 113 may be connected to the first receiving surface 114 .

The first receiving surface 114 may be formed in an arc shape in which the center is the deepest depression. In addition, it may be formed in a constant plane, at least a portion may be formed to have a curved surface.

The first receiving surface 114 may further include a plurality of grooves 114a and 114b and an inclined surface 114c extending at a predetermined angle. Based on the support device 113 , the first groove 114a may be disposed on the upper side, and the second groove 115a may be disposed on the lower side. The shape of the first receiving surface 114 corresponds to the shape of the disposed cleaning module 20 , and the first cleaning module 21 will be described below.

Referring to FIG. 17 , the first cleaning module 21 may include a nozzle 21a, a roller 21b, and a cleaning unit 21c.

The first cleaning module 21 may mean a cleaning suction port (hereinafter referred to as a 'carpet suction port') capable of cleaning carpets or bedding. It may also mean a cleaning suction port (hereinafter referred to as a 'pet suction port') capable of intensively cleaning the fur of the pet. In addition, it may refer to an inlet for a floor that is thinner than a normal inlet.

The nozzle 21a may have a substantially cylindrical shape and may be connected to the extension tube of the first cleaner 2 .

The roller 21b may be selectively applied to a device capable of rolling the ground. The user may advance the first cleaner 2 by rolling the roller 21b. The friction with the ground can be reduced through the roller 21b and the external force required for the process can be reduced.

The roller 21b may be disposed to protrude so as to be primarily supported on the ground. In particular, the cleaning unit 21c may protrude based on the extension line of the inclined angle of the cleaning unit 21c so that the contact may precede the cleaning unit 21c.

The roller 21b may be formed so that the cleaning unit 21c can move at a predetermined angle so that it can contact the ground. Therefore, after the roller 21b is primarily in contact with the ground, it is pressed by the weight of the first cleaner 2 , and the cleaning unit 21c may be in contact with the ground secondarily.

The cleaning unit 21c may inhale the air mixed with dust in contact with the ground. The cleaning unit 21c may be inclined at a predetermined angle for user convenience and to maintain contact with the ground. That is, the contact surface of the cleaning unit 21c may be inclined at a predetermined angle with the nozzle 21a.

7A and 7B , in the embodiment according to the present invention, the first cleaning module 21 may be mounted on the receiving part 110 formed on the third outer wall surface 143 side. The position of the accommodating part 110 may be formed on the second or fourth outer wall surfaces 142 and 144, and it is obvious that such a modified embodiment is included in the scope of the present invention.

The nozzle 21a of the first cleaning module 21 may be inserted into and mounted on the support device 113 . In the mounted state, the elastic piece 1133 may bite the nozzle 21a from both sides and fix it.

The left and right widths of the inner space of the support device 113 are preferably formed to be narrower than the diameter of the nozzle 21a. In this case, the elastic piece 1133 is spread left and right by the nozzle 21a, and an elastic force to restore to the original state may be generated. Accordingly, the nozzle 21a may be more strongly supported by the elastic force.

The roller 21b of the first cleaning module 21 may contact the first receiving surface 114 . As described above, the roller 21b may be formed to protrude more than the extension line of the cleaning unit 21c. Accordingly, the second groove 114b in which the roller 21b may be disposed without being deformed may be formed in the first receiving surface 114 . (See Fig. 5)

The second groove 114b may be formed by being depressed to have a predetermined curvature in consideration of the diameter of the roller 21b. The second groove 114b may be formed to extend a predetermined length in the left and right directions. This is to promote convenience on the mold during manufacturing, and furthermore, to respond to changes in the shape and position of the configuration introduced into the second groove 114b.

The first receiving surface 114 may have a first groove 114a formed on the upper side of the supporting device 113 . The first groove 114a may be formed so that when the shape of the first cleaning module 21 is changed or replaced with a pet nozzle, the configuration can be introduced therein.

Therefore, the shape or position of the plurality of grooves 114a and 114b is deformable according to the shape of the cleaning module 20 disposed in the first accommodation space 111 .

The inclined surface 114c may be in contact with the cleaning unit 21c of the first cleaning module 21 disposed thereon. As described above, the cleaning unit 21c may be inclined at a predetermined angle. Accordingly, the inclined surface 114c may be inclined and extended to correspond to the inclined angle of the cleaning unit 21c.

The inclined angle and area of the inclined surface 114c may be formed to correspond to the inclined angle and area of the cleaning unit 21c. Therefore, it may be deformed in response to a change in the configuration or shape of the cleaning module 20 , and may be omitted when the inclined surface 144c does not need to be disposed. Furthermore, when the cleaning module 20 is disposed upside down, it may be disposed on the upper side with respect to the support device 131 .

After the first cleaning module 21 is mounted inside the first accommodation space 111 , the user may close and fix the first cover 210 . Accordingly, when the first cleaning module 21 is mounted and not used, it may be stored without being exposed to the outside. Accordingly, there is an effect of enhancing the user's aesthetic sense.

8 is an enlarged view of the structure of the accommodating part 110 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 9A and 9B are second, The structure in which the third cleaning modules 22 and 23 are coupled is enlarged.

8 to 10 , the accommodating part 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention may include a second accommodating space 112 and a second accommodating surface 115 . The accommodating part 110 of this embodiment is described for convenience as being provided on the fourth outer wall surface 144 . However, it may be disposed on any one of the outer wall surfaces 140, and it is evident that such a change falls within the scope of the present invention.

Two support devices 113 may be disposed in the second accommodation space 112 . The number of support devices 113 may be increased or decreased in consideration of the number and size of the cleaning module 20 to be arranged. The support device 113 may be connected to the second receiving surface 115 .

The second receiving surface 115 may be formed in a flat plate shape, and may be formed in an arc shape in which the center is the deepest depression. In addition, a curved surface having a step difference may be formed on at least a portion. In addition, a groove may be further formed to correspond to the shape of the disposed cleaning module 20 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the second receiving surface 115 may further include a plurality of support protrusions 115a and 115b. Based on the support device 113 , the first support protrusion 115a may be disposed on the upper side, and the second groove 115b may be disposed on the lower side. The shape of the second receiving surface 115 corresponds to the shape of the disposed cleaning module 20 , and the second and third cleaning modules 22 and 23 will be described below.

18 is a second cleaning module 22 mounted on the receiving unit 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 19 is a second cleaning module mounted on the receiving unit 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 3 The cleaning module 23 is shown.

The second cleaning module 22 may mean a multi-purpose suction port having an air suction port and a cleaning brush to clean the surface of a picture frame or furniture.

The third cleaning module 23 may mean a suction port for a gap formed thin and long in order to clean a gap into which the basic suction port cannot enter.

The second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 have various suction ports, such as a suction port for sucking hardened dust, a suction port for cleaning the upper part that cannot be reached, and a suction port with a bendable extension bellows. can be changed to

The second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 may have a nozzle that can be connected to the extension pipe of the first cleaner 2 in common. Therefore, referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B , the nozzles of the second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 may be coupled to the support device.

Specifically, the nozzles of the second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 may be inserted into and mounted on the support device 113 . In the mounted state, the elastic piece 1133 may bite the nozzle from both sides and fix it.

The left and right widths of the inner space of the support device 113 are preferably formed to be narrower than the diameters of the nozzles of the second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 . In this case, the elastic piece 1133 may be spread left and right by the nozzle, thereby generating an elastic force to restore the original state. Accordingly, the nozzle can be more strongly supported by the elastic force.

Referring to FIG. 8 , as described above, the second receiving surface 115 may further include a first support protrusion 115a and a second support protrusion 115b.

The first support protrusion 115a and the second support protrusion 115b may support the second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 . Specifically, the first support protrusion 115a and the second support protrusion 115b may protrude to have a predetermined height. Accordingly, the positions of the nozzles of the second cleaning module 22 and the third cleaning module 23 disposed in the inner space of the support device 113 may be moved.

More specifically, the nozzle may move toward the opening 1134 by the protruding height of the support protrusions 115a and 115b. As described above, the pair of elastic pieces 1133 extend toward the opening 1134 and are formed to have a narrow spacing. Accordingly, the elastic force or supporting force of the elastic piece 1133 increases as it approaches the opening 1134 . Accordingly, the nozzle may receive a stronger support force from the elastic piece 1133 .

In another embodiment of the present invention, a coupling member protruding from the nozzles of the second and third cleaning modules 22 and 23 may be formed. In this case, the shape of the support protrusions 115a and 115b may be formed in a hollow shape corresponding thereto. Accordingly, the user may insert the second and third cleaning modules 22 and 23 to couple them.

After the second and third cleaning modules 22 and 23 are mounted in the second accommodation space 112 , the user may close and fix the second cover 210 . Accordingly, when the second and third cleaning modules 22 and 23 are mounted and not used, they may be stored without being exposed to the outside. Accordingly, there is an effect of enhancing the user's aesthetic sense.

9A and 9B , the second cover 220 may further include a cleaning brush holder 222 and a cleaning brush support 223 . However, the cleaning hook 222 and the cleaning brush support 223 may be formed on the first cover 210, and it is natural that a modified embodiment falls within the scope of the present invention.

The cleaning brush hook 222 may be formed to protrude in a hollow shape on the inner surface of the second cover 220 . In addition, the cleaning brush support 223 may be formed to protrude from the inner surface of the second cover 220 . Specific shapes of the cleaning brush hook 222 and the cleaning brush support 223 may be determined to correspond to the shape of the cleaning brush 24 . First, the cleaning brush 24 will be described with reference to FIG. 20 .

One side of the brush inlet 24b may be opened to the outside so that the brush 24a may be introduced therein. The other side of the brush inlet 24b may be connected to the body 24c. The brush inlet portion 24b may be formed to have a narrower width at the open side so that more brushes 24a are introduced, so that a user can easily grip it. Therefore, the width of the open one side may be formed wider than the width of the other side connected to the body (24c).

The body 24c may be held by a user to clean the outside of the first cleaner 2 and the various cleaning modules 20 . The body 24c may be extended by a predetermined length in consideration of user convenience and the external shape of the first cleaner 2 .

The locking groove 24d may be formed by being depressed from one side of the body 24c. Depending on the embodiment, it may be combined with a mountable member.

The closing portion 24f is connected to the body 24c and may be formed in a streamlined shape for user convenience and safety.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B , the long axis length of the open space inside the cleaning brush holder 222 may be longer than the width of the body 24c and shorter than the maximum width of the brush inlet 24b. Accordingly, the cleaning brush 24 can be mounted without falling down by being caught on the cleaning brush hook 222 .

The cleaning brush support 223 may be formed in a streamlined shape to correspond to the shape of the closing part 24f. The cleaning brush support 223 is spaced apart from the cleaning brush hanger 222 by a predetermined interval in the direction of gravity. At this time, the predetermined interval may be formed to be shorter than the length of the body 24c. Therefore, the cleaning brush 24 may be supported on both sides by the cleaning brush holder 222 and the cleaning brush support 223 .

11 shows a state in which the auxiliary suction port 30 is mounted on the cleaner station 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 12 and 13 are the jamming of the cleaner station 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Each of the devices 230 is shown in an enlarged state in which they are opened and closed, and FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the state in which the auxiliary suction port 30 is mounted on the engaging device 230 of the cleaner station 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of a part of the housing cover 200 of the cleaner station 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 16 is an enlarged view of the cleaner station 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The locking device 230 is shown.

11 to 16 , the housing cover 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a locking device 230 .

The locking device 230 may be formed on the outer surface of the housing cover 200 so that it can be mounted. The locking device 230 may be formed on one side of the housing cover 200 . From another point of view, the second, third, and fourth outer wall surfaces 142 , 143 , and 144 may be formed on the housing cover 200 disposed on the upper side. In another aspect, it may be formed on at least one of the first cover 210 and the second cover 220 of the housing cover 200 .

Referring to FIG. 14 , the auxiliary suction port 30 may include a coupling jaw 31 , a nozzle 32 , and a cleaning unit 33 .

The coupling jaw 31 may be coupled to the locking device 230 to mount the auxiliary suction port 30 . The nozzle 31 is connected to the extension pipe of the first cleaner 2 and may have a substantially cylindrical shape.

The cleaning unit 33 may be in contact with the ground. The cleaning unit 33 may be inclined at a predetermined angle for user convenience and maintaining contact with the ground. That is, the contact surface of the cleaning unit 33 may be formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle with the nozzle 31 .

The auxiliary suction port 30 mounted on the hooking device 230 may be a wet mop suction port equipped with a wet mop. The wet mop suction port may include a wet mop in the cleaning unit 33 . Two mops may be included to improve cleaning efficiency and to receive forward support from the ground. The wet mop may come into contact with the ground. The wet mop may be mounted in a wet state after the end of the cleaning cycle. The height from the ground may be limited in order to limit the falling radius of dripping water falling from the wet mop. Accordingly, the locking device 230 may be disposed below the housing cover 200 .

Furthermore, the dripping water generated from the wet mop may fall to the ground support part 131 of the housing 100 . If dripping water accumulates in the ground support part 131 , rust may occur, mold may be generated, and problems such as odor may occur. In addition, there may be a problem that the inside of the cleaner station 1 is submerged. Therefore, the locking device 230 needs to be formed to protrude more than a certain length to the outside.

The locking device 230 may include a nozzle holder 231 , a rotating plate 232 , and an inner cover 233 .

The rotating plate 232 may be disposed on one surface of the housing cover 200 . The rotating plate 232 may be rotatably disposed by 360°.

The nozzle holder 231 may be formed to protrude from one surface of the rotating plate 232 . Specifically, referring to FIG. 16 , the nozzle holder 231 may include a contact part 231a, a connection part 231b, a support part 231c, and an inlet 231d.

The contact portion 231a may be defined as a pair of ends in a direction in which the coupling jaw 31 is fitted in the nozzle holder 231 .

The connection part 231b may be formed to extend from the contact part 231a toward the ground. In order to prevent separation of the coupling jaw 31, it may be extended so that the gap is narrowed from both sides.

The support portion 231c may extend in a horizontal direction between ends of the connection portion 231b. The support part 231c may prevent the auxiliary suction port 30 from falling.

The inlet 231d may be defined as an empty space between the pair of contact portions 231a. The coupling jaw 31 may be inserted through the inlet 231d and disposed between the pair of connecting portions 231b.

In the nozzle holder 231 , the protruding height of the contact part 231a may be formed to be longer than the protruding height of the connecting part 231b. In addition, the protruding height of the connecting part 231b may be formed to be longer than the protruding height of the supporting part 231c. Accordingly, the nozzle holder 231 may be inclined when viewed from the front from the contact portion 231a to the support portion 231c.

From another point of view, the nozzle holder 231 may have a height protruding from the upper side when viewed from the front to be longer than a height protruding from the lower side. In another aspect, the nozzle holder 231 may be inclined toward the housing cover 200 from the upper side to the lower side to extend.

Through the above shape, the auxiliary suction port 30 may be mounted to be inclined toward the housing cover 200 from the upper side to the lower side. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the space occupied in the mounted state.

Referring to FIG. 14 , the auxiliary suction port 30 in the mounted state may be disposed so that the lowermost end of the cleaning unit 33 is closest to the housing cover 200 . At this time, as described above, when the dripping water generated from the wet mop falls on the ground support part 131 of the housing 100, a problem may occur. Therefore, the nozzle holder 231 may be formed to protrude more than a predetermined length so that the lowermost end of the cleaning unit 33 is not disposed above the ground support unit 131 . From another point of view, an extension line extending from the lowermost end of the cleaning unit 33 to the ground may be arranged to meet the ground from the outside of the ground support unit 131 .

To this end, the minimum protruding length of the nozzle holder 231 and the locking jaw 31 may be determined.

In addition, through this, the wet mop is mounted while exposed to the outside, and there is an effect that it can be dried naturally.

15 and 16 , the rotary plate 232 has a nozzle holder 231 coupled to one surface thereof, and the other surface may be formed of a flat plate. An insertion hole 232a may be provided at the center of the rotating plate 232 . A rotation pin 232b may be introduced into the insertion hole 232a. The insertion hole 232a may be formed through the rotation plate 232 in the vertical direction or the left and right directions. The rotation direction of the rotation plate 232 may be determined based on the formation direction of the insertion hole 232a.

12 to 14 , in a state in which the auxiliary suction port 30 is not mounted, the rotating plate 232 may be disposed such that the other surface thereof is exposed to the outside. In this state, the nozzle holder 231 is not exposed to the outside, and the housing cover 200 can maintain a streamlined appearance, thereby providing an aesthetic feeling to the user. 13 , the user can selectively rotate the rotating plate 232 by 180° only when mounting the auxiliary suction port 30 to expose the nozzle holder 231 to the outside.

Referring to FIG. 15 , the locking device 230 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an inner cover 233 .

The inner cover 233 may be formed in a semi-cylindrical shape. The inner cover 233 may separate the nozzle holder 231 and the rotating plate 232 from the inner space of the housing cover 200 . In order to prevent interfering with the rotation of the rotating plate 232, the diameter of the inner cover 233 may be formed to be longer than the length in the left and right or vertical direction of the rotating plate 232.

Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific examples, it is intended to describe the present invention in detail, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is within the technical spirit of the present invention. It is clear that the transformation or improvement is possible by the person.
