The floor-moving type vacuum cleaner main body 1 in the present embodiment is a compact body having a short front-rear length and a round shape as a whole, and has a small front wheel 2 slightly forward in the center of the bottom surface. A large rear wheel 3 is provided on both sides of the rear part.

On the lower surface of the front part of the cleaner body 1, as shown by a partially cut-away section in FIG. 6, a joint between the body front cover 4 and the body lower case 5 is provided with a step or the like. A concave handle 6 used for erecting the main body 1 for cleaning is formed. In addition, a handle 7 for carrying the main body, which is rotatably attached, is provided on the upper part of the main body 1.

On the other hand, the storage case 20 has a two-part structure consisting of a lower case 30 and an upper case 40, and includes a hose 10 and a floor suction device 1.
An upper case 40 for mounting the cleaner body 1 is fitted and connected to a lower case 30 for storing accessories such as 1.

A pair of front wheels 31 and rear wheels 32 are mounted on the front, rear, left and right of the bottom of the lower case 30, respectively. Here, in the present embodiment, the front wheel 31 is
It is a small thing attached to the front left and right of the bottom,
The rear wheel 32 has a large diameter and is attached to both lower sides of the lower end of the lower case 30.

The mounting structure of the rear wheel 32 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 21, the side walls 30 a at the lower rear end of the lower case 30 are depressed into the shape of the rear wheel 32, and the side walls 30 a
An axle 32b, the tip of which has been processed to prevent it from slipping, is inserted into and attached to a bearing hole 32a formed at the bottom.

In the lower part of the lower end of the lower case 30,
A stopper portion 3 projecting obliquely downward from the rear wheel 32
3 are formed. Thus, even if the user lifts the front of the case when moving or the like, the stopper 33 prevents the entire storage case 20 from rotating around the rear wheel 32 even if the user lifts the case too much. By that
The fall to the rear can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 17, FIG. 18, etc., positioning ribs 34, which are formed in a substantially C-shape for positioning the extension pipe, are provided on the rear portion inside the bottom surface of the lower case 30. The outer curved portion of each positioning rib 34 is a place where the lower end portions of the two extension pipes 12, 12 inserted from the insertion holes 44 of the upper case 40, which will be described later, are accommodated. , 34 between hose 10
Is a place where the joint portions 10a and 10b on both ends of the above are accommodated.

Further, each of the positioning ribs 34, 34
As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, etc., are formed inside extension pipe insertion holes 44, 44 formed on both rear sides of the upper case 40. Therefore, when the extension pipes 12, 12 inserted from the insertion holes 44, 44 are positioned on the positioning ribs 34, 34, the extension pipes 12, 1
No. 2 is in a state of being inclined in an inverted C-shape. In this state, when the load of each extension pipe 12, 12 is applied to its lower end,
Since the lower end is moved in the direction in which the lower end is in contact with the positioning rib 34, the above state is maintained even if vibrations or the like are applied during the movement, and the lower end of each extension pipe 12 and each rear wheel 32 are maintained. Is separated from the axle 32b. As a result, the lower end of the extension pipe 12 does not come into contact with the axle 32b of the rear wheel 32 that is exposed inside the lower case 30, and there is no resistance to the rotation of the axle 32b. You can do it.

The positioning ribs 34, 34 have a height of the hose 10 and its joints 10a, 10b.
And the height is substantially the same as the axle 32b of the rear wheel 32. Therefore, the joint 10 of the hose 10
Not only when the positioning ribs a and 10b are normally stored between the positioning ribs 34, but also when they move on the positioning ribs 34 as shown in FIG. Since the upper end is guarded by the inner wall 30a of the lower case inside the rear wheel 32, the rear wheel 32 does not come into contact with the axle 32b of the rear wheel 32 exposed inside the lower case 30 as described above. Therefore, the rear wheel 32 can rotate smoothly.

On the other hand, before and after the upper case 40, the upper end of the upper case 40 is folded outward and downward, and a flange-shaped protrusion 35 formed at the upper end of the lower case 30 is inserted inside the upper case 40. Handles 21 and 21 are formed.

Are formed. Further, a convex portion 43 that fits into the concave handle 6 formed on the lower surface of the front portion of the cleaner body 1 is formed at the front portion inside the opening edge. Therefore, the opening 41 is
Portions other than the rear wheel receiving portion 42 and the convex portion 43 are openings communicating with the lower case 30, so that the hose 10 and the floor suction tool 11 can be easily taken in and out without removing the upper case 40. Further, the vacuum cleaner main body 1 can be easily stored and taken out, and can be stored in a stable state because the rear wheel receiving portions 42, 42 on both sides and the front convex portion 43 are supported at three points.

Further, the front and rear positioning of the cleaner main body 1 can be performed only by forming the convex portion 43 on the upper case 40 by effectively using the concave handle 6 normally provided on the cleaner main body 1. , And can be configured at low cost. In addition, with this configuration, the backlash of the cleaner main body 1 in the front-rear direction can be prevented, and also when the front of the storage case 20 is lifted, the cleaner main body 1 is supported by the convex portion 43, so that the cleaner main body 1 also has a falling-off prevention function. .

Further, the rear wall of the upper case 40 against which the rear wheel 3 of the housed vacuum cleaner body 1 contacts the axle 3 of the rear wheel 3 of the main body side.
It is configured to reach above (a or more than half of the rear wheel 3). This prevents the rear wheel 3 from riding on the rear wall of the upper case 40 even when the cleaner body 1 is tilted when the front of the storage case 20 is lifted, so that such falling off can be prevented.

The inner surface 40a of the upper case 40 facing the front surface 1a (front cover 4) of the cleaner body 1 is formed so as to be located close to a certain depth. That is, when the front of the storage case 20 is lifted, the cleaner main body 1 that tilts rearward with the rearward tilt of the storage case 20 rotates rearward around the rear wheel 3 as the rotation of the cleaner main body front surface 1a. It is configured such that a part thereof abuts on a part of the inner surface 40a of the upper case so as to function to regulate.

On the other hand, insertion holes 44, 44 for inserting two separated extension pipes 12, 12 into the lower case 30 in the vertical direction are formed on both sides of the rear part of the upper case 40. A storage pocket (storage recess) 45 for storing accessories such as a spare paper pack 13 and a round brush is formed between the insertion holes 44. As described above, the extension pipe 1 whose length cannot be shortened from the viewpoint of usability
By storing the storage case 2 in the vertical direction, the size of the storage case 20 can be reduced.

The storage pocket 45 allows the user to store various accessory accessories such as a spare paper pack 13 and a round brush, so that the user can conveniently use the accessory. Lower ends of the extension pipes 12, 12 inserted from the insertion holes 44, 44 on both sides are
It also functions as a guide that leads to the corresponding positioning ribs 34, 34 of zero. Therefore, since there is no need to separately provide a guide which is normally required when inserting from the vertical direction, the cost of the storage case 20 can be reduced, and the two extension pipes 12, 12 can be accommodated in one storage pocket 45. Can guide and be efficient.
