Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wet mop module for a cleaner, the wet mop module including a water supply nozzle configured to discharge water from a water tank to a mop, in which the water supply nozzle includes a nozzle body having a water discharge port formed at one end thereof, the water discharge port being configured to discharge water to the mop, and the water discharge port is formed to be inclined, thereby preventing a water droplet from clogging the discharge port, and preventing debris contained in a water droplet from clogging the discharge port as the formed water droplet is dried.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaner comprising:
 a cleaning module configured to eliminate debris on a floor surface; and   a cleaner main body comprising a battery configured to supply power to the cleaning module, and a handle configured to be grasped by a user,   wherein the cleaning module comprises:   a module housing having a mop disposed at a lower side thereof;   a water tank coupled to the module housing and configured to store water;   a steam generator configured to heat water introduced from the water tank; and   an auxiliary battery coupling unit provided on the module housing so that an auxiliary battery is inserted into and coupled to the auxiliary battery coupling unit.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the auxiliary battery coupling unit is disposed on a rear surface of the module housing. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaner of  claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary battery is inclined downward and inserted into the auxiliary battery coupling unit. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery comprises:
 an auxiliary battery main body; and   a coupling button provided on the auxiliary battery main body and configured to be coupled to the auxiliary battery coupling unit by a hook engagement, and   wherein at least a part of the coupling button is exposed to the outside of the module housing.   
     
     
         5 . The cleaner of  claim 4 , wherein at least a part of the coupling button is disposed upward from the module housing. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery is connected in series to the battery. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery is connected in parallel to the battery. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery is connected selectively in series or in parallel to the battery. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery supplies power to the steam generator. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning module further comprises:
 a mop driving motor disposed in the module housing and configured to provide a rotational force to the mop by rotating a motor shaft; and   a flow path forming part formed in the module housing and configured to communicate with an intake port, the flow path forming part being configured to guide air, which is introduced through the intake port, to the cleaner main body, and   wherein an imaginary axial extension line of the motor shaft passes through the flow path forming part.   
     
     
         11 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery coupling unit comprises an auxiliary battery coupling groove that accommodates the auxiliary battery, and
 wherein the auxiliary battery coupling groove is formed in a direction parallel to the floor surface from a rear surface of the module housing toward a front side of the module housing in a state in which the cleaning module is placed on the floor surface.   
     
     
         12 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary battery coupling unit comprises an auxiliary battery coupling groove formed in a direction from the module housing toward an inside of the module housing, the auxiliary battery coupling groove being configured to accommodate the auxiliary battery, and
 wherein the auxiliary battery coupling groove is formed to be inclined downward at a predetermined angle with respect to the floor surface in a state in which the cleaning module is placed on the floor surface.   
     
     
         13 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning module further comprises a diffuser configured to discharge moisture passing through the steam generator to the mop, and
 wherein the diffuser is formed in an annular shape.   
     
     
         14 . The cleaner of  claim 13 , wherein the cleaning module further comprises a mop driving motor disposed in the module housing and configured to provide a rotational force to the mop by rotating a motor shaft, and
 wherein the mop driving motor is disposed inside the annular diffuser.
