Cleaner

Abstract

A cleaner comprises a cleaning fluid container installed at a cleaner body, for providing a space in which a cleaning fluid is stored; a cleaning fluid dispensing unit for dispensing a cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid container to a cleaning region; a brush rotatably installed at a bottom of the cleaner body, for brushing a cleaning region by being rotated; a recovery unit for recovering a soiled fluid including a filth from the cleaning region; a recovery fluid container installed at the cleaner body, for storing the recovered soiled fluid; and a drying unit for heating air and dispensing the heated air to the cleaning region. Accordingly, the moisture remaining at a cleaning region is quickly removed, and so cleaning efficiency can be improved.

1 . A cleaner comprising: 
 a cleaning fluid container installed at a cleaner body, for providing a space in which a cleaning fluid is stored;    a cleaning fluid dispensing unit for dispensing a cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid container to a cleaning region;    a brush rotatably installed at a bottom of the cleaner body, for brushing a cleaning region by being rotated;    a recovery unit for recovering a soiled fluid including a filth from the cleaning region;    a recovery fluid container installed at the cleaner body, for storing the recovered soiled fluid; and    a drying unit for heating air and dispensing the heated air to the cleaning region.    
   
   
       2 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the recovery unit comprises: 
 a fan-motor for providing a suction force for sucking a soiled fluid including a filth of a cleaning region by making the inside of the recovery fluid container into a vacuum;    a suction passage having one end communicating with the recovery fluid container, through which a soiled fluid of the cleaning region is sucked toward the recovery fluid container; and    a discharge passage connected to the fan-motor and the recovery fluid container, through which air in the recovery fluid container is discharged,    
   
   
       3 . The cleaner of  claim 2 , wherein the drying unit comprises: 
 a guiding passage connected to the fan-motor of the recovery unit, for guiding air discharged from the fan-motor;    a discharge port connected to the guiding passage and installed toward the cleaning region; and    a heater disposed between the guiding passage and the discharge port, for heating air discharged to the cleaning region through the guiding passage and the discharge port.    
   
   
       4 . The cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein the heater is a PTC heater.  
   
   
       5 . The cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein a mesh type protective net for preventing external foreign substances from being introduced is installed at the discharge port.  
   
   
       6 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing unit comprises: 
 a supplying passage having one end connected to the cleaning fluid container, through which the cleaning fluid is passed;    a nozzle connected to the other end of the supplying passage and installed such that an outlet thereof is directed toward the brush; and    a pump installed on the supplying passage, for pumping the cleaning fluid toward the nozzle.
