Complex type cleaner

Abstract

A complex type cleaner comprises: a body having either a dust collecting container for storing dust and foreign materials or a water collecting container for storing contaminated water; a fan motor installed at the body and generating a suction force to suck dust or water; a suction head arranged at a lower side of the body, for sucking dust at the time of performing a vacuum-cleaning; and a suction nozzle installed at the suction head, for sucking contaminated water at the time of performing a water cleaning, wherein the water collecting container is composed of: a container mounted at the body and having a space for storing water; a cover mounted at an upper surface of the container and having an outlet for exhausting air inside the container; a division plate for dividing inside of the container into a first chamber and a second chamber, for introducing water stored in the second chamber to the first chamber when the water inside the second chamber is more than a certain level; and a water exhaustion preventing unit arranged at the first chamber, for preventing water stored in the container from being exhausted through the outlet. According to this, a mis-operation of the floater due to sloshing of the water stored in the container during a cleaning operation can be prevented.

1 . A complex type cleaner comprising: 
 a body having either a dust collecting container for storing dust and foreign materials or a water collecting container for storing contaminated water;    a fan motor installed at the body and generating a suction force to suck dust or water;    a suction head arranged at a lower side of the body, for sucking dust at the time of performing a vacuum-cleaning; and    a suction nozzle installed at the suction head, for sucking contaminated water at the time of performing a water cleaning, wherein the water collecting container is composed of:    a container mounted at the body and having a space for storing water;    a cover mounted at an upper surface of the container and having an outlet for exhausting air inside the container;    a division plate for dividing inside of the container into a first chamber and a second chamber, for introducing water stored in the second chamber to the first chamber when the water inside the second chamber is more than a certain level; and    a water exhaustion preventing unit arranged at the first chamber, for preventing water stored in the container from being exhausted through the outlet.    
   
   
       2 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the container is provided with a handgrip at an outer side surface thereof, and is provided with an inlet connected to the suction nozzle by a water suction hose at a lower side thereof.  
   
   
       3 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 2 , wherein a guide passage for moving water introduced into the inlet to an upper portion of the container and then introducing the water into the container is formed at an inner side of the container.  
   
   
       4 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein the guide passage is formed by a partition wall formed in the container in a vertical direction, a lower side of the guide passage is connected to the inlet, and an entrance through which water that has flowed up along the guide passage is introduced into the container is formed at an upper end of the guide passage.  
   
   
       5 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the division plate is composed of: 
 a first plate arranged in the container in a horizontal direction and formed as an arc shape;    a second plate extended from one side surface of the first plate in a vertical direction; and    a third plate extended from another side surface of the second plate in a vertical direction and forming the first chamber.    
   
   
       6 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 5 , wherein an entrance through which water stored in the second chamber is introduced to the first chamber when a level of the water stored in the second chamber is more than a certain level is formed at an upper surface of the second plate.  
   
   
       7 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the water exhaustion preventing unit is composed of: 
 a floater housing positioned in the first chamber and connected to the outlet formed at the cover; and    a floater mounted at the floater housing to be movable up and down, for preventing water from being exhausted through the outlet by blocking the outlet by a buoyancy force when water reaches a certain level.    
   
   
       8 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the water exhaustion preventing unit is installed in the container to be inclined towards a front side of the body.  
   
   
       9 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is composed of: 
 a body mounted at an upper surface of the container;    a tube connection portion formed at a center of an upper surface of the body and connected to an exhaustion tube connected to the fan motor; and    a guide chamber formed at a lower side of the body, for connecting the outlet formed at a lower surface of the body and the tube connection portion.    
   
   
       10 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 9 , wherein a plate that comes in contact with the division plate is formed at a lower surface of the body.  
   
   
       11 . The complex type cleaner of  claim 9 , wherein a connection portion downwardly extended from the outlet and inserted into the floater housing of the water exhaustion preventing unit is formed at a lower surface of the body.
