A nozzle assembly, comprising:
- a nozzle main body that moves over a cleaning surface;
- a drum brush unit that is formed on the nozzle main body and comprises an extension unit;
- an ultraviolet (UV) generation unit that is formed on the drum brush unit to be folded or unfolded so that the UV generation unit selectively faces the cleaning surface;
- and
- a switch that turns the UV generation unit on or off according to whether the UV generation unit is folded or unfolded.
A nozzle assembly, comprising:
- a nozzle main body that moves over a cleaning surface;
- a drum brush unit that is formed on the nozzle main body and comprises an extension unit;
- and
- an ultraviolet (UV) generation unit that is formed on the drum brush unit to be folded or unfolded so that the UV generation unit selectively faces the cleaning surface,
- wherein the UV generation unit generates UV rays if the UV generation unit is unfolded to face the cleaning surface, and
- the UV generation unit does not generate UV rays if the UV generation unit is folded to not face the cleaning surface.
A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a main body that comprises a dust collecting unit;
- and
- a nozzle assembly, comprising
- a nozzle main body that moves over a cleaning surface;
- a drum brush unit that is formed on the nozzle main body and comprises an extension unit;
- and
- an ultraviolet (UV) generation unit that is formed on the drum brush unit to be folded or unfolded so that the UV generation unit selectively faces the cleaning surface,
- wherein the UV generation unit generates UV rays if the UV generation unit is unfolded to face the cleaning surface and the UV generation unit does not generate UV rays if the UV generation unit is folded to not face the cleaning surface,
- the nozzle assembly further being connected to the main body and moving on a cleaning surface.
