Therefore, a heated vacuum cleaner shall be provided with a safety device, a gauge and a pressure gauge, which must be shut off for safety when there is no water in the heating device and / or when the pressure exceeds the reference value. Therefore, such a heating vacuum cleaner has a problem in that its configuration is very complicated, bulky, unsatisfactory in appearance, and expensive. In addition, the above-described heating vacuum cleaner has high temperature and high pressure steam from the start of heating. Since it usually takes 20-30 minutes, during which time the user has to wait for more inconvenience in use. Moreover, the above-mentioned heating type vacuum cleaner uses pure water only, so it does not generate oxygen, so the degree of sterilization and insecticide is very small, and a large amount of preheating power is required to heat the water, so the power consumption is very large and suction Since it employs a method of injecting the steam in an elliptical direction toward the object at a spaced distance from the plate toward the body, there is further a problem that it is very inefficient in configuring the spray means detachable to the cleaner.

The present invention is to improve the problems as described above, the object is to provide a steam disinfection cleaner that greatly improves the economic efficiency with a very simple configuration and at the same time significantly improve the sterilization action and cleaning function. In order to achieve the same purpose, a steam cleaner comprising: steam generating means for generating steam by using a predetermined chemical reaction formula; And cleaning means for coupling the steam generating means to at least a part of the cleaner body to spray the generated steam to the object and to suck in the dust. Here, the steam generating means includes at least two carbon plates to which electricity is supplied and predetermined melting. It is characterized by generating a vapor by using a chemical reaction with the liquid. And the solution is made of an electrolyte solution having a boiling point of more than a predetermined reference value, more preferably implemented with brine. The steam generating means is formed with a water inlet and a steam outlet, the water tank of any shape containing the solution; At least two carbon plates spaced at regular intervals and coupled to the inside of the bucket to enable electricity supply; An embodiment composed of partitions provided between the carbon plates is preferred. In addition, the cleaning means includes a steam injection means for injecting the steam generated by the steam generating means toward a predetermined object, the steam injection means is preferably installed detachably to a part. The removable steam injection means forms a jet plate for injecting the generated steam into an object in the same shape as the shape of the suction plate that sucks in dust, and allows the jet plate to be detachable to the engaging piece formed on at least one side of the suction plate. On the other hand, the cleaning means allows the predetermined air discharge means to be coupled to a part of the cleaner body, and the air discharge means allows the sucked dust to be filtered through a predetermined liquid, thereby only the air having a purity below a predetermined reference value It is preferable to let it out.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a steam disinfection cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention. This steam disinfection cleaner organically combines at least some components (eg, vacuum dust suction means, body, etc.) of a general vacuum cleaner with steam generating means and steam injection means for generating steam by using a chemical reaction method according to the present invention. Configure.

The steam generating means in Figure 1 is preferably spherical in the interior of the cleaner body 30 to the external beauty of the cleaner, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that this does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, all of the above-described steam generating means may also be modified to protrude to the outer surface of the cleaner body 30 or to partially protrude to the outside. In view of the external beauty, as shown in FIG. 1, a properly designed vacuum cleaner body 30 (which can also be deformed in an upright shape) is preferably formed with one frame on one side of the base, side, and top. The other side is preferably formed as an openable lid 33 (or cover). Here, one side of the cleaner body 30 is provided with an exhaust port 60 for purifying air to be sucked to the outside, and one side of the upper surface. At the side, a liquid (specifically, water) inlet 23 and a bucket switch S for turning on / off electricity supplied to the steam injection means are provided. In addition, the front surface of the cleaner body 30, the suction hose 31 of the suction means of the air containing dust is connected to the dust collecting chamber 32 and the steam generated from the steam generating means therein A steam outlet 24 for discharging to the external steam injection means is formed.

On the other hand, the dust suction means comprises a suction plate 50 shown in Figure 1 and the suction hose 31 and the cleaning switch 35 for connecting it to the suction port 34 described above. Here, the suction lake 31 is coupled to the suction port 34 using a predetermined coupling. And the steam injection means comprises a steam injection plate 51 shown in Figure 1, and a steam discharge hose 26 for connecting it to the above-described steam discharge port 24. Here, the steam discharge hose 26 is coupled to the steam outlet 24 using a predetermined coupling, and the steam injection plate 51 of the steam injection means is formed to be slightly smaller in the same shape as the suction plate 50 of the suction means. And fitted to the injection plate catching pieces 52 provided on both sides of the front surface of the suction plate 50 to be detachable. Therefore, compared with the conventional configuration, the steam is evenly sprayed on the object, the appearance is beautiful as well as convenient to use.

Next, the internal structure of the cleaner body 30 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Bucket 20 which is a steam generating means, a carbon plate 21 (21 '), a partition 22, a water inlet 23, a steam outlet 24 and the dust collecting chamber 32 and the strainer as a means for discharging the purified air ( 42). Here, the dust collecting chamber 32 is an external dust associated with the object to be cleaned through the suction plate 50 and the suction hose 31 and the suction port 34 of the suction means by a vacuum means electrically connected to the cleaning switch 35. Where the dust is collected and is typically filtered through the strainer 42 (or the dust collector) by the driving of the motor 40 and the fan 41 electrically connected to the cleaning switch 35. Filtered air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port (60). At this time, the vacuum means for sucking the dust and / or air discharge means is a well-known technology, it will be easily implemented by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

On the other hand, a preferred embodiment of the steam generating means provided on the inner front side of the cleaner body 30 is supported in the cleaner body 30, the bucket 20 and the bucket 20 containing the electrolyte solution described above A water inlet 23 protruding from the upper surface of the cleaner body 30 from the upper surface of the cleaner body 30, at least two carbon plates 21 and 21 ′ supported by the bucket 20 and spaced at regular intervals, and supplied with electricity; The steam generated in the partition 22 and the bucket 20 which are electrically insulated and installed in the intermediate position between the two carbon plates 21 and 21 'and having the same corresponding area as the two carbon plates is the vapor of the external steam injection means. It comprises a steam outlet 24 of the upper discharged to the discharge hose (26). 1 and 2, the dust inlet 34 shown in FIG. 3 is installed in the lower portion of the above-described bucket 20 as shown in FIG. 3 and is configured to be connected to the dust collecting chamber 32 of FIG.

The steam generating means of FIG. 3 having the above-described configuration generates steam using a chemical reaction method, and weak currents of the (+) electrode and the (-) electrode are separately provided on the two carbon plates 21 and 21 ′. When is supplied, a chemical reaction occurs at the contact surface between the brine and the two carbon plates 21, 21 ', which is a preferred embodiment of the electrolyte solution, to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam and oxygen, which are mixed into steam, and these steam outlets 24 Through the steam injection means to the steam discharge hose 26, the steam injection plate 51 is supplied through. At this time, pure water and carbon plates 21 (21 ') through which a weak current flows do not cause any reaction, but salt (sodium chloride), which is an appropriate amount of basic material (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, etc.), is dissolved in water, and salt water becomes a conductor. (It is not preferable if the amount of salt increases because the carbon plate and the brine cause a violent reaction.) Accordingly, a chemical reaction occurs between the carbon plate 21 (21 ') and the salt water where a weak current flows, thereby generating heat and generating steam. Here, the non-conductive partition 22 is used to prevent a direct chemical reaction between the two carbon plates 21 and 21 ', so as not to completely seal between the two carbon plates 21 and 21'. It is desirable to be installed to prevent. In addition, since the salt solution, which is an electrolyte solution, has a high boiling point, water vapor generated by reaction with the carbon plates 21 and 21 'becomes high temperature (usually 120-130 ° C.), and water molecules in a large area of the carbon plates 21 and 21'. High contact rate is possible due to the high rate of water vapor generated per unit time.However, salt dissolved in water does not evaporate by this chemical reaction, so some salt can be used continuously once dissolved in water. Therefore, if water in the bucket 20 is reduced by the generation of steam, only water is supplied through the water inlet (23). In addition, when salt water causes a chemical reaction with the carbon plates 21 and 21 ', oxygen is also generated by electrolysis and mixed with water vapor. The high temperature and high pressure steam containing oxygen has a sterilizing and insecticidal effect as compared to pure water vapor. It was found to be higher by the inventors' experiments. In addition, the electricity supplied to the carbon plate 21 (21 ') of the steam generating means according to the present invention is more preferably a weak alternating current, it is also possible to use a direct current using a battery.

1 to 3 will be described in more detail the operation of the steam disinfection cleaner according to the present invention having the configuration shown in FIG. First, when the user turns on the cleaning switch 35 provided in the suction hose 31 while facing the object to be cleaned on the suction plate 50 of the suction means, the vacuum means is driven and thus the dust collecting chamber ( 32) a vacuum is generated in the air, and air containing dust is sucked from the object by the suction force and discharged to the outside.

On the other hand, when the user turns on the bucket switch (S) provided on the upper surface of the cleaner body 30, a weak current is supplied to the carbon plates 21, 21 'of the steam generating means, and thus the carbon plate 21 ( 21 ') and high temperature, high pressure steam and oxygen are generated and mixed at the contact surface of the brine, and these are sprayed to the object via the steam outlet 24, the steam discharge hose 26 and the steam jet plate 51 in turn. . Therefore, the sterilization and insecticidal effect of the object to be cleaned by the high-temperature, high-pressure steam injected in this way is significantly larger than the conventional.

In particular, since the steam disinfection cleaner according to the present invention employs a chemical reaction formula, since all the water in the steam generating means is insulated automatically, the safety device and gauge to cut off the electricity used in the heating method such as a conventional electric heater And since there is no need to be equipped with a pressure gauge at all, it is safer to use than the conventional, and the cost of the product can be greatly reduced by reducing the number of parts, and since these parts do not have to be provided externally, the external aesthetic beauty can be further realized. have. In addition, the conventional heating type steam cleaner usually takes 20-30 minutes to boil water to generate steam, but the steam disinfection cleaner according to the present invention generates steam of high temperature and high pressure within 1 minute as a result of the experiment, which is very convenient for use. Rather, since only a weak current is used, the power consumption is very small. Furthermore, the steam disinfection cleaner according to the present invention generates more oxygen in addition to steam of high temperature and high pressure, thereby increasing sterilization and insecticidal effect more than in the related art, and by implementing the spray means detachably to the suction means, it is very convenient in use. Have more.

On the other hand, it is also possible to change the discharge means for purifying the air according to the present invention in a preferred embodiment of the present invention described above is also possible. More specifically, this discharging means (not shown) is provided so that a body containing a solution (preferably water) in the dust collecting chamber 32 in place of the strainer 42 (or dust collecting network) shown in FIG. Fill the water by the appropriate amount (2/3 to 3/4) of the tank, and properly install the sponge on the upper side thereof, and install a second hose connected from the upper dust chamber of the tank to the bottom of the cylinder (in the water). And a third hose connected to the outlet in the air layer above the sponge of the barrel. When the air purifying discharge means operates the cleaner and sucks dust into the dust collecting chamber 32, the dust is sucked into the water in the barrel to filter even fine dust by water and discharge only purely purified air to the outside. It has the advantage that the air purification effect is superior to the air purification method using a filter. When the air purifying discharge means is employed, the filter strainer 42 shown in FIG. 2 does not have to be used.

As another variation, by employing a separate heater device with a safety device near the steam jet plate 51, steam which can be slightly cooled while passing through the steam discharge hose 26 is converted into a higher temperature and a higher pressure steam. It can also be sprayed. In another modified example, the cleaning switch 35 of the cleaning suction means is provided in the suction hose means, and the water tank switch (S) of the steam generating means is provided separately on the upper surface of the body, all of them are suction hose means It may be provided at appropriate positions of the suction hose 31, respectively, to enhance the convenience of use. In addition, the two switches can be electrically integrated into one, so that the suction means and the injection means can be operated simultaneously. In another modified example, a modified embodiment including at least two steam generating means having carbon plates 21 and 21 'to collect steam discharged therefrom into the steam outlet 24 is also within the technical scope of the present invention. It is obvious that it can be implemented.

It is also apparent to those skilled in the art that by appropriately modifying the size and capacity of the cleaner having the above-described configurations, it is possible to implement a household steam disinfection cleaner and / or an industrial steam disinfection cleaner within the technical scope of the present invention. Omit. On the other hand, a number of modified embodiments that are not mentioned in the technical scope of the present invention described above will be apparent to those skilled in the art having a good understanding of the technical spirit of the present invention and the preferred embodiments of the above description, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. do. 25 of the accompanying drawings shows a wire.

As described above, the steam disinfecting cleaner according to the present invention employs a chemical reaction type steam generating means and organically implements the steam disinfecting cleaner, thereby greatly simplifying the technical configuration compared to the conventional method and significantly improving the economic efficiency and sterilizing the same. It provides the effect of greatly improving the action and cleaning function. Therefore, when the steam disinfection cleaner according to the present invention is implemented, great commercial success in the market is clearly predicted by those skilled in the art.
