The nozzle includes first and second rotary cleaning units spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction under the nozzle main body. Each of the first and second rotary cleaning units includes a rotary plate coupled to a dust cloth. The nozzle further includes a first driving device to drive the first rotary cleaning unit and a second driving device to drive the second rotary cleaning unit. The nozzle includes a water tank to store water. Further, the nozzle has a water supply channel to supply water in the water tank to the rotary cleaning units. The nozzle has a water pump and a pump motor to drive the water pump to pump the water to the dust cloth.

Nozzle for cleaner

A vacuum cleaner of the present disclosure includes a cleaner body having a suction motor provided inside thereof and a handle provided outside thereof, and a suction nozzle connected to the cleaner body, wherein the suction nozzle includes a housing having at least part of a front portion opened, and a rotary cleaning unit disposed inside the housing, having at least part thereof exposed through the opening of the housing, and configured to clean a floor by a rotating operation, wherein the rotary cleaning unit includes a cylindrical nozzle body rotatably installed inside the housing, and fiber filaments and metal filaments disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the nozzle body.

Vacuum cleaner

A robot cleaner includes a water tank forming a space to store water, a body forming an exterior and having a housing which forms a space in which the water tank is mounted, a pair of spin mops rotatably mounted at a lower side of the body, a first nozzle provided at the housing, a second nozzle provided at the tank and configured to couple to the first nozzle, and a fixing part generating a magnetic force when the tank is mounted in the housing to fix an arrangement of the tank mounted in the housing. The fixing part includes a fixing device (e.g., a magnet or metal) provided around a circumference of the second nozzle and a response fixing device (e.g., a magnet or metal) provided around a circumference of the first nozzle and having a shape corresponding to the fixing device. The first nozzle and the second nozzle are attached to each other by the fixing device and the response fixing device.

Robot cleaner

A robot cleaner includes a main body forming an exterior and having a water tank housing formed at a rear side thereof. The water tank housing may form a space in which a water tank is mounted. At least one spin mop is rotatably provided at a lower side of the main body, moving the main body by rotating, and configured to clean a floor using water in the water tank. A supply nozzle is provided at one side of the water tank housing, and when connected to a discharge nozzle of the water tank, communicates with the discharge nozzle to supply water stored in the water tank to each of the spin mops. The robot cleaner further includes a locking device rotatably provided at a position spaced apart from a circumferential surface of the water tank housing, and configured to secure the water tank in the water tank housing when mounted or to release the water tank by pushing backward on the water tank.

Provided is a cleaner. The cleaner includes a housing provided with a dust container at a lower side thereof having a suction opening, a filter part configured to filter dust from air suctioned through the suction opening, the filter being spaced apart from an inner circumferential surface of the housing, a movable part configured to be elevated between a first position and a second position in a space between the outside of the filter part and the inner circumferential surface of the housing, a manipulation part of which at least a portion is exposed to outside of the housing, the manipulation part being elevated by user's manipulation, and a transfer unit of which at least a portion is accommodated in the housing, the transfer unit being configured to connect the manipulation part to the movable part. The dust container has an elevation groove, which is recessed outward from an inner surface of the dust container, in a vertical direction.

Cleaner

A robot cleaner may have a body, a mop, and a tank to supply water to the mop. The tank may be magnetically coupled to the body via at least one magnet and be physically coupled to the body via a groove and a protrusion The protrusion may be a bent rib extending from the tank to couple to a groove in the body, or the protrusion may be a stopper attached to a spring attached to the body and coupling with a groove in the tank. The at least one magnet may be provided at a first side with respect to a left-right center, and the protrusion and groove may be provided at a second side opposite the first side. To remove the tank from the body, the tank may be pulled near the magnet to detach the tank at the magnet, and the tank may be rotated at a point on the second side.

Provided is a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body provided with a suction motor at the inside thereof and a handle at the outside thereof, and a suction nozzle connected to the cleaner body. The suction nozzle includes a housing of which at least a portion of a front side is opened to defined a front opening, a rotation cleaning part which is installed inside the housing, of which at least a portion is exposed through the front opening, and which is configured to clean a floor surface by a rotation operation thereof, and a sealing part protruding downward from a lower end of the housing and provided in rear of the front opening.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle body having a suction passage in which air flows. A water tank is detachably mounted on the nozzle body, and a rotation cleaning part is rotatably supported at a lower side of the nozzle body to receive water from the water tank for cleaning a floor. The water tank includes an outlet through which water is discharged, a valve configured to open and close the outlet, and an air hole configured to introduce outside air into the water tank. An air hole operation part is movably installed on the water tank to open and close the air hole.

A cleaner includes a housing including a suction opening, a cyclone part configured to separate air and dust, and a dust bin configured to store dust separated from air in the cyclone part and a frame disposed to surround an axis of a cyclone flow of the cyclone part in the housing and configured to be movable between a first position and a second position in the housing, wherein the frame includes a first body disposed to face the suction opening at the first position and disposed to be inclined with respect to the axis of the cyclone flow, and an upper end of the first body is located to be the same as or higher than an upper end of the suction opening.

A robot vacuum cleaner includes a main body that moves along a surface, draws in dust from the surface, filters the dust, and discharges air. A water tank is detachably mounted on a lower surface of the main body, and a damp cloth is mounted to the water tank. The water tank stores water in a filling space and supplies water from the filling space through a water supply unit mounted on a lower surface of the water tank to the damp cloth. An air inlet is formed on an upper surface of the water tank. An air inflow member selectively opens the air inlet to allow outside air to flow into the filling space when the main body moves, and closes the air hole when the main body stops moving.

Robot vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body that includes a suction motor, wheels that are configured to move the cleaner body, a driving motor that is configured to drive the wheels, a suction unit that is configured to communicate with the cleaner body, a connector coupled to the suction unit, the connector being rotatably connected to the cleaner body, a sensor that is disposed on the connector and configured to sense a movement of the connector, an elastic member that is configured to provide an elastic force to the connector toward an initial position of the connector, and a controller that is configured to control the driving motor based on movement information sensed by the sensor.

There is provided a robot cleaner including a main body, a suction unit that sucks air including foreign substances into the main body, a moving unit that moves the main body, a dust collecting unit that has a filter for filtering the foreign substances included in the air sucked by the suction unit and a dust collecting case that collects the foreign substances filtered by the filter, and a detection unit that detects whether or not the filter is attached to the main body.
