The cleaner case 20 is formed by connecting the first cleaner case portion 20a on the grip portion 14 side and the second cleaner case portion 20b on the first suction port 62a side in the axial direction. As shown in fig. 7, the first cleaner case portion 20a is provided with a battery housing portion 22, a cleaner-side engaging portion 24, a substrate housing portion 26, a blower housing portion 28, and the like. The second cleaner case 20b is provided with a dust collection unit 50 and a suction port constituting unit 60.

The battery 22x is accommodated in the battery accommodating portion 22. The cleaner-side engaging portion 24 is provided on the cleaner body 10 side so as to constitute an engaging structure (cleaner body engaging structure 142) for engaging the cleaner body 10 with the support body 100. The substrate 26x is accommodated in the substrate accommodating portion 26. Further, the blower housing 28 houses an electric blower 40.

The electric blower 40 is used to generate an air flow for attracting dust. The electric blower 40 has a suction portion 40a and an exhaust portion 40b, the air flow from the air intake portion 40a toward the air exhaust portion 40b can be generated by supplying electric power. The electric blower 40 is disposed between the substrate housing portion 26 and the dust collecting portion 50 in the cleaner case 20. The electric blower 40 is disposed in a posture in which the suction portion 40a faces the dust collection portion 50 side.

As shown in fig. 7, the dust collection portion 50 is provided in the second cleaner case portion 20b of the cleaner case 20. The dust collection unit 50 is a portion that collects dust sucked from the first suction port 62a. The dust collection portion 50 has a dust cup 52, a first filter portion 54, and a second filter portion 56.

The dirt cup 52 has a hollow and cup-like shape. The dust cup 52 may be formed by providing a cylinder or the like in the second cleaner housing part 20b, but in the present embodiment, a cylinder constituting the second cleaner housing part 20b is used as the dust cup 52. The dust cup 52 is connected to a housing (first cleaner housing part 20 a) constituting the cleaner main body 10 so as to be engageable with and disengageable from the housing. The first filter unit 54 is housed inside the dust cup 52.

The end of the peripheral wall 64 the upper surface of the accommodating portion 82 abuts.

Regarding vacuum cleaner System S

The cleaner system S includes the cleaner body 10 and the support device 70. The vacuum cleaner system S can be used in two modes of use, namely: a use mode in which the cleaner body 10 is used while being supported by the support device 70 as shown in fig. 1, and a use mode in which the cleaner body 10 is used while being separated from the support device 70 as shown in fig. 6. The vacuum cleaner system S may be used not only by itself in a state in which the vacuum cleaner body 10 is separated from the support device 70, but also in a stick-type electric vacuum cleaner (second state) by connecting an extension pipe 90 or a suction tool 92 to the suction nozzle 62 of the vacuum cleaner body 10 as shown in fig. 2 and 4.

As shown in fig. 1 and the like, the supporting device 70 functions as a bracket for supporting the cleaner body 10, preferably with a charging mechanism. The supporting device 70 is provided with a supporting device main body 72, a space forming portion 74, and a housing portion 76.

The supporting device main body 72 is a portion that supports the cleaner main body 10. The supporting device main body 72 has a pillar portion 78 and a base portion 80. The stay portion 78 is a columnar portion that is provided obliquely from the front side to the rear side so as to support the cleaner body 10 in an inclined posture. Therefore, the cleaner body 10 can be supported from the rear side in a state in which the cleaner body 10 is tilted from the front side to the rear side by bringing the rear side of the cleaner body 10 into contact with the front side surface of the stay portion 78 and raising the cleaner body 10 with respect to the stay portion 78. The length of the support device main 72 does not exceed the length from the first suction port 62a of the cleaner main body 10 to the end of the grip portion 14. Therefore, when the cleaner body 10 is in a state of standing up with respect to the supporting device body 72, the portion of the cleaner body 10 on the grip portion 14 side protrudes upward from the supporting device body 72.

The base portion 80 is located on the base end side (lower end side) of the pillar portion 78. The base portion 80 is a portion that serves as a base of the cleaner body 10 supported by the stay portion 78. The base portion 80 has a receiving portion 82 and a supporting portion 84. As shown in fig. 1, 8, 9, and the like, the accommodating portion 82 is provided at a position where the suction nozzle 62 reaches when the cleaner body 10 is raised with respect to the support device body 72 in a posture in which the suction nozzle 62 is oriented downward. The accommodating portion 82 has a receiving port that receives the suction port constituting portion 60. The housing 82 is opened so that a cylindrical body constituting the suction port constituting part 60 can be inserted substantially without any gap. In the present embodiment, the nozzle 62 of the cleaner body 10 can be inserted into the receiving opening with respect to the accommodating portion 82, and the outer peripheral surface (an example of the peripheral wall) of the nozzle 62 is covered by the accommodating portion 82. The first airtight member 82a may be provided between the housing portion 82 and the outer peripheral surface of the suction nozzle 62, or the first airtight member 82a may be provided between the distal end portion of the outer peripheral wall 64 and the upper surface portion of the housing portion 82 where the receiving port is formed. The housing 82 may cover the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 64 (an example of a peripheral wall).

The support portion 84 is a portion that supports the suction nozzle 62 inserted into the accommodating portion 82 on the bottom surface side of the region surrounded by the accommodating portion 82. The support portion 84 is provided with a stopper portion 84a, and the stopper portion 84a protrudes so as to be able to abut against the tip end portion of the suction nozzle 62, so as to prevent the position of the suction nozzle 62 inserted into the accommodating portion 82 from being shifted to the front side. The support portion 84 has an opening 84b, and the opening 84b is opened to a space 74a formed below the support portion 84 by a space forming portion 74 described later. Therefore, when the suction nozzle 62 is inserted into the accommodating portion 82 and the cleaner body 10 is supported by the support device body 72, the first suction port 62a of the suction nozzle 62 can be communicated with the space 74a formed by the space forming portion 74 via the opening 84b. Therefore, when the electric blower 40 of the cleaner body 10 is operated in a state in which the suction nozzle 62 is inserted into the accommodating portion 82 and the suction nozzle 62 is supported by the supporting portion 84, a suction force in a direction from the space 74a toward the cleaner body 10 via the opening portion 84b can be generated. In addition, the second airtight member 82b may be provided at a position between the support portion 84 and the front end portion of the suction nozzle 62 in a state where the suction nozzle 62 is inserted into the accommodating portion 82. In the present embodiment, the four openings 84b are formed by providing three support portions 84, but two or more openings 84b may be formed by providing one or more support portions 84.

As shown in fig. 8 to 11, etc., the space forming portion 74 is a portion where a space 74a is formed on the lower side of the supporting portion 84, wherein the space 74a is formed to be hollow. The space 74a formed by the space forming portion 74 communicates with the accommodating portion 82 via the opening 84b. The space forming portion 74 opens the space 74a to the outside through a communication port 74b provided on the front side. Accordingly, the auxiliary dust collecting member (head portion described later) can be placed in the space 74a or taken out of the space 74a via the communication port 74b, or the dust can be introduced (sucked) into the space 74a by bringing the dust closer to the communication port 74b using the auxiliary dust collecting member. Further, a charge removing plate 74c is provided on the bottom surface of the space forming portion 74. Accordingly, the auxiliary dust collecting member is charged by static electricity by being put in or taken out through the communication port 74b, and therefore, dust adhering to the auxiliary dust collecting member can be separated in the space 74 a. Further, as shown in fig. 9 and 11, the comb teeth 74d are provided on the back side of the support portion 84, but the position is not limited to this position as long as they protrude toward the space 74a side. Accordingly, when the auxiliary dust collecting member is inserted into or removed from the communication port 74b, dust adhering to the auxiliary dust collecting member (a head portion described below) can be scraped off by the comb teeth 74 d. The auxiliary dust collecting member is, for example, a hand-held mop, and has a handle portion and a head portion, and dust can be collected by the head portion. Further, the explanation has been made with a configuration having both the electricity removing plate 74c and the comb teeth 74d, but the supporting device 70 may be a configuration having at least one.

As shown in figure 1 and the like, the receiving portion 76 is provided on the rear side with respect to the pillar portion 78. The storage portion 76 is provided to use a region (space) formed below the pillar portion 78 inclined from the front side toward the rear side of the support device 70 for storing the auxiliary dust collector or the accessory. In the present embodiment, the storage portion 76 is provided with a mop storage portion 76a for inserting and storing a mop as an auxiliary dust collector. Further, a fitting holding portion 94 is provided on the side of the accommodating portion 82 or the stay portion 78, and the fitting holding portion 94 can hold the extension tube 90 or the suction tool 92 connected to the suction nozzle 62 in an upright state. The fitting holding portion 94 for holding the suction tool 92 can hold the side wall in the short side direction of the suction tool 92 in which the joint portion (joint pipe) is rotatable with respect to the suction tool main body in the long side direction and the short side direction, and holds the suction tool 92 in the range of the base portion 80 by sandwiching the side wall in the short side direction of the suction tool main body of the suction tool 92 between two protruding walls provided upright from the base portion 80. Further, since the joint portion of the suction tool 92 can be rotated left and right with respect to the suction tool main body, the joint portion is rotated in the direction along the gravitational direction, and thus can be stored more compactly. In this way, the cleaner body 10 supported by the stay portion 78, and the suction tool 92 and the accessory held by the accessory holding portion 94 are converged in the base portion 80 in a plan view, so that the entire cleaner body can be miniaturized.
