Abstract
The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes a first cleaner for spraying a first detergent through a first nozzle, a second cleaner for discharging a second detergent to an outside of a second nozzle, and a vibration unit for vibrating the second cleaner when the second cleaner discharges the second detergent.
Claims18
A cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a first cleaner for spraying a first detergent through a first nozzle;
- a second cleaner for discharging a second detergent to an outside of a second nozzle;
- and
- a vibrator for vibrating the second cleaner when the second cleaner discharges the second detergent,
- wherein the second cleaner includes:
- a second cleaner container for storing the second detergent therein;
- and
- a power terminal for allowing current to flow to the vibrator,
- wherein the second nozzle is configured to spray the second detergent stored in the second cleaner container when current flows to the power terminal,
- wherein a front surface of the second nozzle includes a discharge hole, through which the second detergent is discharged, and a plurality of protrusions around the discharge hole, and
- wherein the second nozzle is configured to move in the second cleaner container between a first position, at which a conductive surface of the second nozzle does not contact the power terminal such that current does not flow to the power terminal, and a second position, at which the conductive surface of the second nozzle contacts the power terminal such that current flows to the power terminal.
