Description

진공청소기Vacuum cleaner
본 발명은 진공청소기에 관한 것으로서, 상세하게는 먼지 등에 소정의 액상물질을 분사하여 집진시 또는 집진장치 청소시 비산이 발생하는 것을 방지하여 사용자의 편의성을 증대할 수 있는 진공청소기에 관한 것이다. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a vacuum cleaner capable of spraying a predetermined liquid material on dust or the like to prevent scattering from occurring during dust collection or cleaning of the dust collector, thereby increasing user convenience.
진공청소기는 진공압을 이용하여 외부의 공기를 흡입하는 메커니즘을 이용하여 건물의 바닥이나 가구등에 있는 먼지 기타 이물질을 제거할 수 있는 전기장치이다. A vacuum cleaner is an electric device that can remove dust and other foreign substances from the floor or furniture of a building by using a mechanism that sucks external air using a vacuum pressure.
이러한 진공청소기는 그 형태별로 본체와 흡입노즐이 분리되어 소정의 관으로 연결되는 캐니스터(canister) 방식과, 흡입노즐과 본체가 하나로 마련되는 업라이트(up-right)방식으로 구별된다. Such a vacuum cleaner is divided into a canister method in which a main body and a suction nozzle are separated and connected by a predetermined tube, and an up-right method in which the suction nozzle and the main body are provided as one type.
대체적으로 진공청소기의 모습을 보면 흡입노즐과, 상기 흡입노즐에서 유입된 공기와 이물질이 싸이클론 원리에 의하여 분리되는 먼지분리장치와, 상기 먼지분리장치의 이물질 토출부와 연결되어 먼지 기타 이물질을 포집하는 집진장치, 상기 먼지분리장치의 공기 토출부와 연결되어 진공압을 형성시키는 진공모터, 그리고 상기 진공펌프의 토출부에 연결되어 외부로 빠져나가는 공기를 필터링 하는 필터를 포함하고 있다. In general, a vacuum cleaner shows a suction nozzle, a dust separator in which air and foreign substances introduced from the suction nozzle are separated by a cyclone principle, and is connected to a foreign substance discharge part of the dust separator to collect dust and other foreign substances. A dust collector, a vacuum motor connected to the air discharge part of the dust separation device to form a vacuum pressure, and a filter connected to the discharge part of the vacuum pump to filter the air flowing out.
이러한 구성 하에서 사용자가 진공청소기를 작동시키면 흡입노즐을 통과한 공기와 이물질이 먼지분리장치 내에서 회전을 하다가 질량이 큰 이물질은 그 원심력에 의하여 먼지분리장치 내주면을 회전하다가 집진장치로 유입된다.In this configuration, when the user operates the vacuum cleaner, the air and the foreign matter passing through the suction nozzle rotate in the dust separator, while the mass of the large foreign matter rotates the inner circumferential surface of the dust separator by the centrifugal force and enters the dust collector.
