Technical Field

The present invention relates to a multi-function machine for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and environments, which can be generally used for cleaning and disinfecting operations by means of a single machine containing all the equipment necessary to carry out the operations.

Background

In the field of household and industrial use of machines for cleaning and disinfecting environments and surfaces, multi-function machines are known which comprise a series of devices, which are combined together in a single-body machine and enable the user to carry out a series of cleaning and disinfecting operations, using the various devices alone or in combination with one another.

Patent application WO2018146710 describes a multifunction machine for cleaning surfaces, in particular a multifunction vacuum cleaner comprising a main body machine inside which a passage is defined for the passage of a flow of air sucked in and of debris suspended in the flow of air sucked in.

The air and debris are bubbled in a tank containing a liquid, typically water, to release the entrained debris particles into it.

After passing through this tank, which is in fact a water filter, the air flow is conveyed through an internal path into the housing base of the vacuum cleaner motor, in order to be used for cooling it, and then finally is discharged outside the main body machine, into the surrounding environment.

In the multi-functional vacuum cleaner, a steam generating unit is also provided, which can be activated upon command (e.g. when the cleaning operation is particularly difficult in the presence of stubborn dirt).

The steam, together with the suction, acts to dissolve dirt which, after separation from the surface to be cleaned, is sucked in a conventional manner.

In such a multi-functional vacuum cleaner, there is also provided the installation of a device for diffusing perfume into the air as an accessory, so that the use environment of the vacuum cleaner is more comfortable.

A vacuum cleaner with an ionizer is known from the patent EP 1330976.

According to this patent, the vacuum cleaner comprises a suction channel of air and debris starting from a flexible suction duct connected to a motor unit driving a fan capable of generating a low air pressure for the suction action.

Upstream of the motor unit there is provided a debris collection chamber in which a paper bag is contained, the latter being collected therein.

The drawn-in air stream is then filtered by primary and secondary filters and then released back into the atmosphere.

The ionizer may be mounted directly on the suction nozzle with which the suction duct is equipped, or may be mounted immediately downstream of the motor unit, before the sucked air flow exits the main machine.

This prior art has some disadvantages.

One drawback associated with patent application WO2018146710 is that no means is provided for generating and emitting negative and positive ions in a multi-function vacuum cleaner.

This limits the performance of the multi-functional vacuum cleaner, particularly in terms of purification and deodorization of the sucked air.

A second drawback, particularly relevant to patent EP1330976, is that no liquid can be sucked in using such ion-generating vacuum cleaners.

In addition, in both cases, there is only one passage for the sucked air, and therefore, in the case of generating ions, the generation and discharge passage cannot be separated from the specific passage for sucking the debris.

For this reason, these known vacuum cleaners cannot be equipped with water filtration devices or are not suitable for sucking in dry debris and debris-laden liquids.

Furthermore, it sometimes happens that the ions generated and emitted in the same suction circuit of the known vacuum cleaners are partially or totally covered by debris sucked in with the air, thus significantly reducing their effectiveness in sterilizing the environment.

Object of the Invention

It is an object of the present invention to improve the prior art.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and environments which is capable of generating ions while also being capable of aspirating liquids without risking the safety of the user.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a machine for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and environments, according to the features of claim 1.

Further features of the invention are included in the dependent claims.

The invention can obtain the following advantages:

-obtaining a machine for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and environments equipped with a number of functions that can be used both alone and in combination with each other;

-obtaining a machine for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and environments, which is able to suck in solids, even liquids or debris immersed in liquids, generating positive or negative ions according to the needs;

there is no need to use bulk bags to collect debris and dirt sucked in by the multifunction machine capable of generating ions.
