Description

Stand for vacuum cleaner {Support for vacuum cleaner}

The present invention relates to a holder of a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a holder of a vacuum cleaner that uses a built-in rechargeable battery as a power source and supports a vacuum cleaner that selectively or simultaneously performs vacuum cleaning and rag cleaning.

In general, the vacuum cleaner is a cleaning device configured to suck foreign substances such as dust on the floor by the vacuum suction force of the bottom.

The vacuum cleaner may be classified into a non-charging method using a cord wire plugged into an outlet, and a charging method using a charged power source with a built-in rechargeable battery.

Since a general conventional vacuum cleaner has a function of cleaning a floor by air suction force, it is impossible to remove dirt such as dirt on the floor. In addition, since the vacuum cleaner cleans the floor depending on the air suction force, there is a limit in that it is difficult to sufficiently remove fine dust and the like adhered to the floor by static electricity.

Therefore, the user removes dust on the floor using a vacuum cleaner and then cleans the floor again with a dry rag or a wet rag.

As such, a conventional vacuum cleaner is desired to have a functionality capable of cleaning the floor more cleanly due to functional limitations.

In addition, the above-described vacuum cleaner for the purpose of cleaning the floor may be configured to incorporate a rechargeable battery, the rechargeable battery can be supplied with power for the operation of the vacuum cleaner only needs to be charged from time to time.

Therefore, it is desired to provide a holder that can be mounted while charging a rechargeable battery of a vacuum cleaner.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cradle for a vacuum cleaner that can conveniently mount and charge a vacuum cleaner with a built-in rechargeable battery that can selectively or simultaneously perform vacuum cleaning and rag cleaning.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a holder of a vacuum cleaner having a space for accommodating a rag detachable to a suction head of a vacuum cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner according to the present invention includes: a pedestal having an inclined surface on which a head of the vacuum cleaner is mounted and a stopper protruding from the inclined end; And a holder having a holder configured to be perpendicular to the support and configured with a charging pin for charging on a front surface thereof and having a space for storing a rag used in the vacuum cleaner on a rear surface thereof.

Here, the support pieces for supporting the connection body of the vacuum cleaner on the front surface of the support is preferably spaced apart side by side in the vertical direction.

The holder may be provided with a cover.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the user selects a mode of the vacuum cleaner, and the vacuum cleaning mode in which only the air is sucked in. In order to clean the dust on the floor, or to remove the dirt on the floor in a rag cleaning mode in which only the swing is performed, It is possible to easily charge and charge the vacuum cleaner which performs the cleaning in the dual mode in which the swing is performed by using the holder.

In addition, there is an effect that convenience is provided by separating and storing the rack used for cleaning the floor of the vacuum cleaner in the holder.
