Description

Vehicle cleaning device {CLEANING APPARATUS FOR VIEHICLE}

The present invention relates to a cleaning device for a vehicle, and more particularly, can collect foreign substances inside a vehicle through a dust collection mode in which air is forcibly sucked in, or dust and the like inside a vehicle can be shaken off through a spray mode in which air is forcibly injected. It relates to a cleaning device for a vehicle.

In general, a vehicle cleaner is a cleaning means for cleaning the inside and outside of a vehicle, and a vacuum cleaning operation for removing dust accumulated inside the vehicle and a washing operation for removing dirt such as dust or stains accumulated on the outside of the vehicle and polishing work for the exterior of the vehicle.

Among the above cleaning means, the vacuum cleaning operation refers to an operation of removing dirt such as dust from the inside of a vehicle using a general vehicle vacuum cleaner, and such vehicle vacuum cleaners have been supplied to the market for a long time.

As a prior art of the portable vacuum cleaner of the prior art, a portable vacuum cleaner has been disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0016633.

The prior art as described above includes a main body unit having a built-in motor and an impeller, a dust collecting unit detachably mounted on the front surface of the main body unit, and a dust collecting unit to prevent reverse flow of dust while guiding dust sucked into the dust collecting unit to the dust storage unit. It includes a partition member mounted on the inner circumferential wall and a suction member extending to the partition member through the dust collector.

However, in the previously published patent, dust or foreign substances can be sucked in by the rotational force of the impeller that rotates with the power of the motor. There was a problem that it was difficult to inhale dust or foreign matter through the member and could not blow it out.

Accordingly, recently, a technique of sucking in foreign substances through the suction force of a motor and blowing out dust through air pressure by spraying air at the same time has been released.

However, in the prior art as described above, when air is injected, the air injection pressure is relatively lowered because the air is injected through a filter.

Therefore, there is a need to improve the problems of the prior art as described above.
