MUTIFUNCTIONAL CLEANER
A multifunctional cleaner comprises a water inlet pipe and a water flow conversion valve forming a flow line with the water inlet pipe. A nozzle and a brush are provided at a front end of the water flow conversion valve. The nozzle and the brush are provided with a nozzle water outlet and a brush water outlet respectively. A water sealing member and a water flow conversion core are provided inside the water flow conversion valve. A first connecting opening and a second connecting opening communicating with the nozzle water outlet and the brush water outlet respectively are provided on the water flow sealing member. A nozzle water outlet and a brush water outlet are provided on the water flow conversion core. Communication and discommunication between the nozzle water inlet and the first connecting opening as well as between the brush water inlet and the second connecting opening are established by clockwise and anticlockwise turning of the water flow conversion core. The present invention could select if water should be sprayed from the nozzle or the brush by switching direction of water flow so that it could perform two kinds of cleaning functions without the need to remove and replace the nozzle and the brush and it is very convenient to use. Further, the present invention could also control if clean water or cleaning fluid is to be sprayed, it is therefore powerful in terms of its functions.
The present invention relates to a multifunctional cleaner used in occasions for cleaning vehicles, walls, floors and so forth.
Most cleaners currently used in cleaning occasions such as car wash stations have only a single function of either washing by using nozzles or brushing by using brushes. Connectors at water outlets of some cleaners are configured as an adaptable structure in order to fit with both nozzles and brushes. Dual uses of cleaners could therefore be attained since brushes could be fitted with the connectors for brushing after nozzles are removed upon completion of washing and on the other hand, nozzles could be fitted with the connectors for washing after brushes are removed upon completion of brushing. However, such kind of structure requires frequent removal and replacement of nozzles and brushes, so it is very inconvenient to use and improvement is needed.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe object of the present invention is to overcome the aforesaid disadvantages now present in the prior art by providing a multifunctional cleaner which is convenient to use and which is able to perform washing and brushing without the need to remove and replace nozzles and brushes.
The present invention mainly adopts the technical proposal as follows:
A multifunctional cleaner comprises a water inlet pipe and a water flow control switch provided at a water inlet of the said water inlet pipe. The multifunctional cleaner also comprises a water flow conversion valve forming a flow line with the water inlet pipe. A front end of the said water flow conversion valve is provided with a nozzle and a brush arranged in two different directions. The said nozzle and the said brush are provided with a nozzle water outlet and a brush water outlet respectively. A water flow sealing member and a water flow conversion core are provided inside the said water flow conversion valve. A first connecting opening and a second connecting opening communicating with the nozzle water outlet and the brush water outlet respectively are provided on the said water flow sealing member. The water flow conversion core is provided with a nozzle water outlet and a brush water outlet at two positions circumferentially perpendicular to each other respectively. Communication and discommunication between the nozzle water inlet and the first connecting opening as well as between the brush water inlet and the second connecting opening are established by clockwise and anticlockwise turning of the water flow conversion core.
The present invention has the following advantages in comparison with the prior art:
Since the cleaner of the present invention is provided with the nozzle and the brush arranged along two different directions at a water outlet end of the cleaner and it could select if water should be sprayed from the nozzle or the brush by switching direction of water flow, it could perform two kinds of cleaning functions without the need to remove and replace the nozzle and the brush and it is very convenient to use. Further, since the cleaner of the present invention could also perform water wiping function and control if clean water or cleaning fluid is to be sprayed by operating the cleaning fluid conversion switch, the cleaner is powerful in terms of its functions.
