2. Related Art

In general, a cleaner includes various cleaners such as a vacuum cleaner that collects foreign substances such as dust by using a suction power generated by driving a motor with electricity, a non-motorized cleaner that attaches a rotary brush to a roller and rotates the rotary brush to sweep the dust, an electrostatic cleaner that inductively charges the charging plate of the positive electrode and the charging plate of the negative electrode to generate static electricity and then collects foreign substances, and a cleaner using static electricity which use static electricity generated by the plastic paper attached to the belt rubbing against the static electricity generator when the front and rear rollers rotate to clean.


Among these, vacuum cleaners have the advantage of good dust suction and fast cleaning speed, but generate a lot of noise during operation, and small foreign substances such as fine dust are spread again in the air, which is not suitable for simple cleaning.


Accordingly, a cleaner using static electricity is being actively researched and developed as a cleaner which generates less noise, is simple to prepare, and can clean even fine dust.


In other words, as a cleaner that uses static electricity, from a cleaner that uses static electricity generated by rubbing a cleaning cloth with a floor to a cleaner that uses static electricity generated by continuous friction of the plastic paper attached to the belt with the static electricity generating member when the front and rear rollers rotate is being researched and developed.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, an electrostatic cleaning device 1a according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure may include a static electricity generator 2a, a handle part 3a, a power button part 4a, a motor 5a, and a battery 6a.


The static electricity generator 2a may generate static electricity to remove foreign substances such as dust and hair with static electricity, and may include a first electrified body part 21a, a second electrified body part 22a, a belt 23a, a roller part 24a, a first conductor part 25a, a second conductor part 26a, and an attachment part 27a.


In this embodiment, the static electricity generator 2a uses the principle of the Van de Graaff Generatora as a basic principle for generating static electricity, but is not limited thereto, and since the principle of the Van der Graaff generator is a known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.


The first electrified body part 21a is a portion that receives a negative charge transferred through the belt 23a from the first conductor part 25a and generates static electricity, which may be formed in a donut-shaped case, and may be referred to as a main body connected to the handle part 3a in the electrostatic cleaning device 1a.


In the present embodiment, the electrified body part 21a having a rectangular donut-shape extending forward with respect to the handle part 3a is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.


As the first electrified body part 21a forms a donut-shape, a hole 28a may be formed in the central portion.


This hole 28a, as will be described later, may have a function of assembling and fixing a cleaning tool 7a.


The first electrified body part 21a may include an upper electrified body 211a and a lower electrified body 212a that may be assembled and disassembled. The upper and lower electrified bodies 211 and 212a may be configured such that a second electrified body part 22a, a belt 23a, a roller part 24a, a first conductor part 25a, a second conductor part 26a, and an attachment part 27a may be installed thereon.


The second electrified body part 22a may supply a negative charge to the belt 23a.


Specifically, the second electrified body part 22a may be installed in the handle part 3a to be spaced apart from the first electrified body part 21a by a predetermined interval, and may be configured to deliver the negative charge to the second conductor part 26a. Due to this, the second electrified body part 22a makes it possible to supply the negative charge to the belt 23a through the second conductor part 26a.


The second electrified body part 22a may be formed to have a polarity opposite to that of the first electrified body part 21a, wherein in this embodiment, the first electrified body part 21a may have a negative polarity, and the second electrified body part 22a may have a positive polarity.


The belt 23a may be formed between the first electrified body part 21a and the second electrified body part 22a.


The belt 23a may be rotatably installed in the inner space of the donut-shaped first electrified body part 21a.


The belt 23a may be installed on a drive roller 241a and a plurality of moving rollers 242a installed in the inner space of the donut-shaped first electrified body part 21a, and may be rotated by the rotational force of the drive roller 241a.


This belt 23a may transfer the negative charge, and deliver the negative charge to the first electrified body part 21a through the first conductor part 25a.


In the present embodiment, the belt 23a has the first electrified body part 21a in a donut shape, so that the length may be maximized in a limited space, thereby maximizing the static electricity generation force.


In other words, the static electricity generation force is proportional to the amount of charge q1, q2 by the formula of F=K[q1×q2]/D2, and since the charge is distributed on the surface in proportion to the cross-sectional area of the material, the greater the length or width of the belt 23a, the greater the amount of charge. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, the length of the belt 23a may be made as long as possible under a limited space, thereby maximizing the static electricity generation force.


The roller part 24a is installed in the inner space of the donut-shaped first electrified body part 21a so that the belt 23a may rotate in the inner space of the first electrified body part 21a, and may include one drive roller 241a and a plurality of moving rollers 242a.


The drive roller 241a may be connected to the motor 5a and rotated by the driving force of the motor 5a, and may transmit the rotational force to the belt 23a.


The plurality of moving rollers 242a may be installed one at a time on a bent portion caused by the first electrified body part 21a forming a donut-shape to guide the rotating belt 23a. In this embodiment, since the first electrified body part 21a forms a rectangular donut-shape, moving rollers 242a may be installed at each square corner portion.


The first conductor part 25a may be installed on an outer surface of each of both sides of the first electrified body part 21a, and may deliver the negative charge transferred through the belt 23a to the first electrified body part 21a.


This first conductor part 25a may include an outer plate 251a exposed to the outer surface of each of the both sides of the first electrified body part 21a, a fixed plate 252a formed integrally with the outer plate 251a and fixed to the first electrified body part 21a, and a protrusion piece 253a connected to the fixed plate 252a and protruding so as to be adjacent to the belt 23a.


The negative charge of the belt 23a may be delivered to the first conductor part 25a through the protrusion piece 253a, in other words, the protrusion piece 253a serves as a bridge for delivering the negative charge.


The first conductor part 25a is connected to the power button part 4a, and when the power is turned OFF by the operation of the power button part 4a, static electricity may be removed.


The second conductor part 26a may deliver the negative charge of the second electrified body part 22a to the belt 23a.


The second conductor part 26a may be connected to the roller shaft 2411a of the roller part 24a, but is not limited thereto.


The second conductor part 26a is connected to the power button part 4a, and when the power is turned OFF by the operation of the power button part 4a, static electricity may be removed.


The attachment parts 27a may be installed on an inner surface of each of both sides of the first electrified body part 21a, and a cleaning tool 7a to be described later may be attached thereto.


The attachment part 27a may include a fixed plate 271a fixed to the first electrified body part 21a, and a velcro 272a that is adhered to the fixed plate 271a and exposed to an inner surface of each of the both sides of the first electrified body part 21a.


As shown in FIG. 7, when the cleaning tool 7a is the cleaning cloth 71a, both ends of the cleaning cloth 71a may be attached to the velcro 272a and thus the velcro 272a may fix the cleaning cloth 71a to the first electrified body part 21a.


In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the cleaning tool 7a is the floor push stick head 72a or the brush head 73a, the velcro 272a serves to hold the second coupling parts 723 and 733a inserted into the hole 28a to prevent the floor push stick head 72a or the brush head 73a from being separated.


The handle part 3a may be connected to one side of the first electrified body part 21a forming the main body.


The handle part 3a may be formed in a shape and size that is easy for a user to grip by hand, and may be configured such that the second conductor part 26a, the power button part 4a, the motor 5a, and the battery 6a may be installed.

The power button part 4a may be provided between the motor 5a and the battery 6a, and may transmit power from the battery 6a to the motor 5a to drive the motor 5a.


The power button part 4a may be operated to rotate the motor 5a in a forward or reverse direction.


For example, the power button part 4a may be configured to turn on (ON) the power and rotate the motor 5a in the forward direction when pressed while the power is off (OFF), turn off the power when briefly pressed while the power is on, and rotate the motor 5a which is rotating in the forward direction in the reverse direction when pressed and held while the power is on, but is not limited thereto.


Configuring the power button part 4a to rotate the motor 5a in the forward or reverse direction as such, makes it possible to instantaneously switch the polarity (negative charge) generated when the motor 5a rotates in the forward direction to the opposite polarity (positive charge) when rotating in the reverse direction, and at this time, a neutral point may be created according to the reverse driving time, so that electrostatic force may be removed, and the cleaning tool 7a may be separated without static electricity.


The motor 5a may be installed inside the handle part 3a.


The motor 5a may receive power from the battery 6a by the operation of the power button part 4a to rotate the moving roller 242a, and may be protected by the motor case 51a.

Referring to FIGS. 10 to 14, an electrostatic cleaning device 1b according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure may include a static electricity generator 2b, a handle 3b, a button part 4b, a motor 5b, a battery 6b, a circuit board 7b, a cover part 8b, and a scraper 9b.


The static electricity generator 2b is connected to the cover part 8b provided with the handle 3b, and may be configured to generate static electricity and deliver it to a cleaning tool (not shown) such as a cleaning cloth to remove foreign substances such as dust and hair with static electricity The static electricity generator 2b may include a first electrified body part 21b, a second electrified body part 22b, an electrostatic induction belt 23b, a roller part 24b, a first conductor part 25b, and a second conductor part 26b, and a coupling part 27b.


In this embodiment, the static electricity generator 2b uses the principle of the Van de Graaff Generatora as a basic principle for generating static electricity, but is not limited thereto, and since the principle of the Van der Graaff generator is a known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.


The first electrified body part 21b is a portion in which static electricity is generated by receiving the negative charge transferred through the electrostatic induction belt 23b from the first conductor part 25b, and may have a box shape with an open upper portion, and may be referred to as a main body in which the open upper portion is sealed by the cover part 8b.


The first electrified body part 21b may be formed of an electrified body material that collects the negative charge and can remove foreign substances such as dust, and may include an edge electrified body 211b, a bottom electrified body 212b, and an auxiliary electrified body 213b.


The first electrified body part 21b may be formed using conductive plastic (e.g., LUCON CP6062) as an electrified body material. If conductive plastic is used, it does not need to be replaced even if worn out due to friction caused by repeated use, improving durability issue and reducing costs compared to using conventional plating materials.


In the present embodiment, although it is described that the first electrified body part 21b is formed of conductive plastic, it is of course not limited thereto and may be formed of an electrified body material such as plating or a metal plate.


The edge electrified body 211b may collect a negative charge while forming the edge of the main body, and may be formed in a size corresponding to the edge of the cover part 8b. The upper open portion of the edge electrified body 211b may be coupled to the cover part 8b. The edge electrified body 211b may remove foreign substances floating on the floor during cleaning.


The bottom electrified body 212b may collect a negative charge while forming the bottom of the main body, and may be installed in the lower open portion of the edge electrified body 211b. The bottom electrified body 212b may remove foreign substances present on the floor during cleaning.


On the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, an installation space in which other components, such as a second electrified body part 22b, an electrostatic induction belt 23b, a roller part 24b, a first conductor part 25b, a second conductor part 26b, a motor 5b, a battery 6b, and a circuit board 7b are installed may be provided. These other components are described below by limiting installation positions such as one side and/or the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, but are not limited thereto, and may be arranged differently in terms of space utilization.


The bottom electrified body 212b may have a double structure in which an inner surface is formed of an un-electrified body material and an outer surface is formed of an electrified body material. This is because other components installed on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b must be prevented from being affected by static electricity. However, in addition to the other components on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, the auxiliary electrified body 213b is also installed, and the portion where the auxiliary electrified body 213b is installed should be configured such that the electrified body material forming the outer surface is exposed.


The auxiliary electrified body 213b is installed in the inner space of the first electrified body part 21b to increase the total surface area of the first electrified body part 21b to increase the maximum saturation point of the electrostatic force. The auxiliary electrified body 213b may be composed of a plurality of rib assemblies on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b so as to increase the total surface area of the first electrified body 21b in addition to the surface area of the edge electrified body 211b and the surface area of the bottom electrified body 212b, wherein the auxiliary electrified body 213b may be installed so as to be connected to the electrified body material forming the outer surface of the bottom electrified body 212b.


The auxiliary electrified body 213b may be installed in any space except for the free space of the bottom electrified body 212b, that is, the installation space in which the above-described other components are installed.


The auxiliary electrified body 213b may be assembled or integrally formed so as to be connected to the electrified body material forming the outer surface of the bottom electrified body 212b.


This auxiliary electrified body 213b, unlike the edge electrified body 211b and the bottom electrified body 212b, does not directly participate in the removal of foreign substances, but can increase the total surface area of the first electrified body part 21b, which makes it possible to increase the electrostatic force of the first electrified body part 21b as a result.


In general, the electrostatic force is affected by the area of the electrostatic induction belt 23b and the area of the first electrified body 21b, which will be described later, and as shown in FIG. 15A, it can be seen that as the area of the electrostatic induction belt 23b increases, the time for the electrostatic force (electrostatic voltage) to reach the maximum saturation point is shortened and the time to maintain the maximum saturation point is increased, and as shown in FIG. 15B, it can be seen that the maximum saturation point of the electrostatic force increases as the area of the first electrified body part 21b increases.


As described above, in this embodiment, by installing the auxiliary electrified body 213b, the surface area may be increased in a limited space, and the electrostatic force of the first electrified body part 21b may be maximized while maintaining the shape of the compact electrostatic cleaning device 1b as it is.


The second electrified body part 22b may supply a negative charge to the electrostatic induction belt 23b through the second conductor part 26b, and may be installed on one side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b.


The second electrified body part 22b may be formed to have a polarity opposite to that of the first electrified body part 21b, and in this embodiment, the first electrified body part 21b may have a negative polarity, and the second electrified body part 22b may have a positive polarity.


The electrostatic induction belt 23b may be rotatably installed in the inner space of the first electrified body part 21b. The electrostatic induction belt 23b may be installed in a longitudinal direction on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b so as to secure the maximum area even though the space is limited.


The electrostatic induction belt 23b may be installed between the first conductor part 25b installed on the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b and the second conductor part 26b installed on one side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, and may deliver the negative charge supplied through the second conductor part 26b to the first conductor part 25b. The electrostatic induction belt 23b may be connected to a drive roller 241b installed on one side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b and a moving roller 242b installed on the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b to be rotated by the rotational force of the drive roller 241b.


Such an electrostatic induction belt 23b may transfer the negative charge, and may deliver the negative charge to the first electrified body part 21b through the first conductor part 25b.


The roller part 24b may be installed on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, and may include a drive roller 241b and a moving roller 242b.


The drive roller 241b may be installed on one side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b. The drive roller 241b may be connected to the motor 5b and rotated by the driving force of the motor 5b, and may transmit the rotational force to the electrostatic induction belt 23b.


The moving roller 242b may be installed on the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, and one or more may be installed.


In the above, the drive roller 241b and the moving roller 242b may be formed of a material having a negative charge, such as Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE).


The first conductor part 25b may be installed on the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, and may deliver the negative charge transferred through the electrostatic induction belt 23b to the first electrified body part 21b.


The first conductor part 25b may include a collecting plate 251b that collects the negative charge transferred from the electrostatic induction belt 23b, and a delivering plate 252b that delivers the collected negative charge to the first electrified body part 21b.


The collecting plate 251b is installed so that one side is adjacent to the electrostatic induction belt 23b, and may form a peak shape of a lightning rod structure or a sawtooth shape to easily collect the negative charge from the electrostatic induction belt 23b. The other side of the collecting plate 251b may be connected to the delivering plate 252b.


The delivering plate 252b may be installed such that one side is connected to the other side of the collecting plate 251b and the other side is adjacent to the edge electrified body 211b of the first electrified body part 21b.


The other side of the delivering plate 252b extends long in the longitudinal direction of the edge electrified body 211b to easily deliver the negative charge to the first electrified body part 21b, and may form a peak shape of a lightning rod structure or sawtooth shape.


The first conductor part 25b may be connected to the button part 4b and remove static electricity when the power is turned off (OFF) by manipulating the button part 4b.


The second conductor part 26b may deliver the negative charge of the second electrified body part 22b to the electrostatic induction belt 23b.


The second conductor part 26b may be installed so that one side is adjacent to the electrostatic induction belt 23b, and may form a peak shape of a lightning rod structure or a sawtooth shape to easily deliver the negative charge to the electrostatic induction belt 23b. The other side of the second conductor part 26b may be connected to the second electrified body part 22b.


The second conductor part 26b may be connected to the button part 4b and remove static electricity when the power is turned off (OFF) by manipulating the button part 4b.


The coupling part 27b may be provided so that the scraper 9b may be detachably attached to the first electrified body part 21b. The coupling part 27b may be provided in the form of a groove on the front portion of the first electrified body part 21b in a longitudinal direction crossing the cleaning direction.


The scraper 9b is detachable from the coupling part 27b and may be configured to easily remove foreign substances such as dust from a cleaning target (bedding, carpets, etc.) requiring physical scraping.


Experimental results showed that the electrostatic force was selectively expressed according to types of dust and the properties of the floor (cloth, bedding, PVC, wood, flooring, PE, etc.). For example, while foreign substances (dust, hair, other animal hair, etc.) that were well charged with a positive charge were removed very effectively without the scraper 9b attached when the floor was PVC, PP, or corrugated flooring, which was easily negatively charged, they could not be effectively removed without the scraper 9b attached from cloths, bedding, carpets, etc., where the floor had a positive charge, and in the state in which the scraper 9b was attached, the scraper 9b physically separated foreign substances in close contact with cloth, bedding, carpet, and the like, so that they could be effectively removed.


The electrostatic cleaning device 1b of the present embodiment is configured to attach and detach the scraper 9b and thus may be used for multiple purposes such as cleaning a general floor basically by attaching a cleaning tool such as a cleaning cloth and cleaning the cleaning target requiring physical scraping by attaching the scraper 9b without the cleaning cloth.


The handle 3b may be connected to the cover part 8b, and may be formed in a shape and size that is easy for a user to grip by hand.


The button part 4b may include a power button, and may operate the static electricity generator 2b.


The button part 4b may be provided on the circuit board 7b, and may drive the motor 5b by transmitting power from the battery 6b to the motor 5b.


In addition, when the power button is pressed while the power is off (OFF), the button part 4b allows power to be supplied in a pulse cycle while the power is turned on (ON).


Generally, as shown in FIG. 16A, the conventional electrostatic cleaner is configured so that when the power button is pressed to turn the power from the off state to the on state, power is supplied at a fixed period to continuously operate the motor, and stop the operation of the motor when the power button is pressed once more to turn to the off state, and as the motor continues to operate until the cleaning is complete, the power consumption stored in the battery is inevitably increased and noise is inevitably generated continuously.


On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16B, the electrostatic cleaning device 1b of this embodiment is configured so that when the power button of the button part 4b is pressed while the power is off, the electrostatic cleaning device repeats maintaining an on state for an initial first time to operate the motor, then maintaining an off state for a second time to stop the operation of the motor 5b, and maintaining the on state for a third time to operate the motor until cleaning is finished (the user presses the power button once more to turn the power off completely).


In the above, the first time may be at least the time until the electrostatic power (electrostatic voltage) reaches the maximum saturation point, and the second time may be the time until the electrostatic power falls to a preset value by natural discharge after the power is turned off using the principle that natural discharge takes a long time, and the third time may be a time until the electrostatic power which has fallen to a preset value reaches a maximum saturation point. Since the first time has to reach the maximum saturation point in a state in which the electrostatic power is zero, the first time may be relatively longer than the third time to reach the maximum saturation point from the electrostatic power that has dropped to a preset value. In the case of the second time, the length may vary according to the natural discharge time and a preset value.


As described above, when power is supplied in a pulse cycle by the button part 4b, the electrostatic power is maintained similar to that continuously supplied, so that the motor 5b is intermittently stopped without affecting the cleaning using static electricity to reduce power consumption stored in the battery 6b as well as reduce noise.


Also, the button part 4b may include a ground button. The ground button of the button part 4b is used to remove dust from the electrostatic cleaning device 1b, and when the ground button is pressed, the polarity (negative charge) generated while the electrostatic induction belt 23b is rotated by the motor 5b is momentarily dissipated, the electrostatic power is lowered, so that foreign substances such as dust may be easily removed from the electrostatic cleaning device 1b.


As such, in this embodiment, by providing the ground button on the button part 4b, the electrostatic power generated during cleaning takes a long time to naturally discharge even after the power button of the button part 4b is turned off, so as to solve the problem that it is difficult to easily remove foreign substances from the electrostatic cleaning device 1b.


In addition, the button part 4b may be operated to rotate the motor 5b in the forward or reverse direction with the power button.


For example, the button part 4b may be configured to turn on (ON) the power and rotate the motor 5b in the forward direction when pressed while the power is off (OFF), turn off the power when briefly pressed while the power is on, and rotate the motor 5b which is rotating in the forward direction in the reverse direction when pressed and held while the power is on, but is not limited thereto.


Configuring the button part 4b to rotate the motor 5b in the forward or reverse direction as such, makes it possible to instantaneously switch the polarity (negative charge) generated when the motor 5b rotates in the forward direction to the opposite polarity (positive charge) when rotating in the reverse direction, and at this time, a neutral point may be created according to the reverse driving time, so that electrostatic force may be removed, and the cleaning tool 7b may be separated without static electricity.


The motor 5b may be installed on one side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b.


The motor 5b may receive power from the battery 6b by the operation of the button part 4b to rotate the moving roller 242b, and may be protected with a motor case 82b provided inside the cover part 8b.


The battery 6b may be installed on the other side of the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b.


The battery 6b may be charged by applying a general smartphone charging terminal, and may be protected by a battery case 82b provided inside the cover part 8b.


The circuit board 7b may be installed between the motor 5b and the battery 6b on the inner surface of the bottom electrified body 212b, and may be designed to implement various functions in the electrostatic cleaning device 1b.


The cover part 8b may seal the open upper portion of the first electrified body part 21b.


On the outer surface of the cover part 8b, a handle 3b may be connected thereto, and a plurality of attachment parts 81b to which various cleaning tools (not shown) such as a cleaning cloth may be attached may be provided.


A motor case 82b accommodating the motor 5b and a battery case 83b accommodating the battery 6b may be provided on the inner surface of the cover part 8b.


The electrostatic cleaning device 1b according to the present invention configured as described above is capable of increasing the electrostatic force in proportion to the increased surface area of the electrified body part 21b even if the length of the electrostatic induction belt 23b for delivering the electrostatic charge (negative charge) to the electrified body part 21b is relatively short, by configuring the surface area of the electrified body part 21b that collects electrostatic charge (negative charge) in the static electricity generator 2b that generates static electricity using the principle of the van der Graf generator to be as wide as possible in a limited space, thereby maximizing the cleaning efficiency.


In addition, in the electrostatic cleaning device 1b according to the present invention, by configuring to supply power in a pulse cycle, the power consumption of the battery 6b may be reduced to maximize the use time, and the operation of the motor 5b may be intermittently stopped to reduce noise, thereby increasing user convenience and satisfaction.


In addition, in the electrostatic cleaning device 1b according to the present invention, by configuring the scraper 9b to be detachably attached to the electrified body part 21b, foreign substances such as dust may be easily removed from the cleaning target that requires physical scraping (bedding, carpet, etc.), thereby broadening the user's cleaning options.


In addition, in the electrostatic cleaning device 1b according to the present invention, by providing a ground button on the button part 4b, foreign substances such as dust may be easily removed from the cleaner, thereby increasing user convenience and satisfaction.
