Abstract (en)
This vacuum cleaner with a sterilizing system includes a safety device (150) for its sterilizer. This vacuum cleaner comprises a cleaner body and a suction brush (120). The suction brush (120) comprises a sterilizer using an ultraviolet (UV) ray and a safety device (150) interrupting power supply to the sterilizer when the suction brush (120) is moved apart from the surface being cleaned (A) by a predetermined distance. Here, the safety device comprises a micro switch (160) controlling power to the sterilizer, a micro switch operator (170) released from contact with the micro switch as the suction brush (120) is separated from the surface being cleaned (A) by an amount at least equal to the predetermined distance, thereby turning off the micro switch, and a biasing member that biases the micro switch operator in a certain direction.
