Abstract
The nozzle of a cleaner includes a nozzle main body which has a suction flow path for suctioning air. A plurality of rotation cleaning units are rotatably connected to the nozzle main body, and a plurality of driving devices drive the plurality of rotation cleaning units. A water tank is mounted on the nozzle main body and supplies water to each of the rotation cleaning units. A water supply flow path supplies water from the water tank to each of the rotation cleaning units.
Claims18
A nozzle for a cleaner comprising:
- a nozzle main body including a suction flow path for suctioning air, and a flow path forming portion disposed at a center of the nozzle main body to cover the suction flow path, wherein the flow path forming portion defines a front-rear suction flow path extending in a front and rear direction relative to the nozzle main body;
- a first rotation plate and a second rotation plate arranged on a lower side of the nozzle main body and spaced apart from each other in a left and right direction of the nozzle main body, each of the first rotation plate and the second rotation plate supporting a mop;
- a first driving motor configured to drive the first rotation plate, the first driving motor being disposed to be spaced apart to a left outside from an outer surface of the flow path forming portion;
- a second driving motor configured to drive the second rotation plate, the second driving motor being disposed to be spaced apart to a right outside from the outer surface of the flow path forming portion;
- a water tank coupled to the nozzle main body, the water tank being configured to store water to be supplied to each of the first and second rotation plates;
- and
- a water supply flow path configured to supply water from the water tank to an upper surface of each of the first and second rotation plates, the water supply flow path being formed in the nozzle main body to be spaced apart from the first driving motor and the second driving motor, the water supply flow path being formed to supply the water from vertically above the upper surfaces to block water discharged from the water supply flow path from being sucked into the suction flow path,
- wherein the water supply flow path includes:
- a first injection nozzle positioned spaced apart to the left outside from the outer surface of the flow path forming portion so that water in the water tank falls on the upper surface of the first rotation plate, the first injection nozzle being disposed to be spaced apart in a vertical direction to face the first rotation plate;
- and
- a second injection nozzle positioned spaced apart to the right outside from the outer surface of the flow path forming portion so that water in the water tank falls on the upper surface of the second rotation plate, the second injection nozzle being disposed to be spaced apart in the vertical direction to face the second rotation plate,
- wherein the first and the second injection nozzles are provided at end portions of the water supply flow path, and pass through a lower surface of the nozzle main body, and are exposed to an outside of the nozzle main body,
- wherein the nozzle main body further comprises a groove for the first and second injection nozzles having a recessed form configured for positioning each respective injection nozzle exposed to the outside of the nozzle main body, and
- wherein a nozzle hole through which each respective injection nozzle passes is formed in each groove.
