Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、真空掃除機のフィルタに関し、より詳しくは、内部に溜まった汚物を捨てた後、洗浄して繰り返し使える集塵フィルタ及びそれを備えた真空掃除機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、真空掃除機は、真空発生装置によって吸込み口で発生する吸込み力を用いて被掃除面にある埃及び各種異物質(以下、汚物という)を空気と共に吸込み、吸込まれた空気中に含まれた汚物をフィルタで分離収去する構成を有する。
【0003】
上記のようなフィルタとしては一般に紙フィルタが使用されている。この紙フィルタは使い捨てフィルタで、内部に汚物が溜まると掃除機から取出して汚物と共に廃棄処理する。よって、使い捨て紙フィルタは、掃除機の維持費用を増やす要因となる。また、紙フィルタは、その構造上細菌が繁殖するのに良い環境を提供するので、非衛生的で且つ取り替えが煩わしいという短所がある。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、従来の真空掃除機用集塵フィルタに関する上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の目的は、内部に溜まった汚物を捨てて洗浄して繰り返し使える、つまり半永久的に使用できる真空掃除機用集塵フィルタを提供することにある。
【0005】
本発明の他の目的は、衛生的で細菌が繁殖しにくく、且つ掃除機集塵室への取付けや取り外しが容易な真空掃除機用集塵フィルタを提供することにある。
【0006】

【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を果たすための本発明による真空掃除機用集塵フィルタは、空気流入口及び空気排出口を備えた真空掃除機の集塵室に取付けられ、前記空気流入口を通して流入される空気に含まれた汚物を分離収去するものであって、前記空気排出口と通ずる空気排出孔が形成された後面部及び該後面部の縁部から垂直に延ばされた側面部とを有することにより、内部に所定の空間部が設けられるフィルタケースと;前記空気流入口と通ずる空気流入孔を有し、前記フィルタケースに分離可能に結合されるカバーと;前記空気流入孔から流入され、前記空気排出孔へ排出される空気に含まれた汚物を分離するように前記フィルタケースに内装される汚物分離手段とを含み、汚物が溜まると汚物を捨てた後洗浄して繰り返し使える、すなわち半永久的に使えることをその特徴とする。
【0008】
本発明によるとフィルタを取り替える必要がないため、フィルタ取り替えのための費用が低減でき、更に細菌の繁殖のおそれがなくて衛生的だけでなく、集塵フィルタの取付けや取り外しが容易なので掃除機使用の便利さが図れる。
【0009】
前記フィルタケースは円筒形に構成され、該フィルタケースと前記カバーとはその結合部に互いに対応するように形成される係止突部及びホックの構造によって着脱自在に結合されるように構成されることが望ましい。
【0010】
前記汚物分離手段は、大きい汚物を1次分離する第1汚物分離部材と;前記第1汚物分離部材によって分離されない微細汚物を2次分離する第2汚物分離部材とを含むことが望ましい。
【0011】
前記第1汚物分離部材は、前記フィルタケースの内部空間を外側の汚物収去部と内側の空気排出部とに区切るようにフィルタケースの後面部に一体に形成され、且つ半径方向に開放された複数の孔を有するフレームと;前記フレームの孔を取り囲むようにフレームの側部に取付けられる網状体とを含んで構成され得る。
【0012】
また、前記第2汚物分離部材は、前記空気排出部に該当するフィルタケースの後面部に当接され、その中央部に前記空気排出孔と対応する通孔が形成された第1ブラケットと;前記フレームの端部にその縁部が支持されるように設けられる第2ブラケットと;両端が前記第1ブラケットと第2ブラケットの周縁部で支持されて設けられた微細埃用フィルタとを含んで構成され得る。
【0013】
ここで、前記第2ブラケットは、前記カバーの空気流入孔を通して流入される空気が前記フィルタケース内部の前記汚物収去部へ円滑に流れていくようにその中央部から放射状に下向き傾斜した円錐形に形成されることが望ましい。
【0014】
また、前記微細埃用フィルタは不織布で構成され、該不織布は汚物分離面積を広くするための複数のギャザー部を有することが望ましい。
【0015】
更に、前記カバーの内側では、該カバーが前記フィルタケースに結合するとき、前記フレームの端部に支持された第2ブラケットを押圧するための複数のリブが突接されていることが望ましい。
【0016】
一方、本発明の他の目的を果たすための真空掃除機は、吸込みブラシと連結する空気流入口及び空気排出口が備えられた集塵室を有する掃除機本体と;前記空気排出口によって前記集塵室と連通するように前記掃除機本体の集塵室の後方に形成された駆動室に設けられ、前記集塵室に負圧を提供する真空発生装置と;前記集塵室に取付けられ、該集塵室へ流入される空気に含まれた汚物を分離収去する半永久的に使用可能な集塵フィルタとを備える。
【0017】
前記集塵フィルタは、前記空気排出口と通ずる空気排出孔が形成された後面部及び該後面部の縁部から垂直に延ばされた側面部とを有することによって、内部に所定の空間部が備えられたフィルタケースと;前記空気流入口と通ずる空気流入孔を有し、前記フィルタケースに分離可能に結合されるカバーと;前記空気流入孔に流入され、前記空気排出孔に排出される空気に含まれた汚物を分離するように前記フィルタケースに内装される汚物分離手段とを含む。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に添付図面を参照しながら、本発明にかかる真空掃除機用集塵フィルタの好適な実施の形態について詳細に説明する。なお、本明細書及び図面において、実質的に同一の機能構成を有する構成要素については、同一の符号を付することにより重複説明を省略する。
【0019】
図1ないし図4に示すように、本発明の一実施形態による真空掃除機用集塵フィルタ100は、フィルタケース10、カバー20、及び汚物分離手段30とを含む。集塵フィルタ100は、内部に汚物が溜まるとカバー20をフィルタケース10から分離して収去した汚物を捨てた後洗浄して再び使える、半永久的に使用できることを特徴とする。
【0020】
以下ではそれぞれの構成要素について具体的に説明する。
【0021】
フィルタケース10は、後面部10aと後面部10aの縁部に垂直に延ばされた側面部10bとを有する円筒形に形成され、フィルタケース10の内部には所定の空間部が備えられる。後面部10aの略中央部には空気排出孔11が備えられ、側面部10bの端部にはその円周方向に沿って係止突部12が備えられる。
また、係止突部12の内側にはカバー20との結合時の気密を保持するために介在されるO―リング13のための溝13aが備えられる。空気排出孔11は、図5に示すように、本発明の集塵フィルタ100を掃除機本体200の集塵室210に取付けるときに集塵室210の空気排出口221と連通される。図5で図面符号230は駆動室であり、駆動室230には真空発生装置300が設けられる。集塵室210と駆動室230とは隔壁220によって区切られ、且つ上記隔壁220に形成された空気排出口221によって互いに連通される。図5において、図面符号211は集塵室210の空気流入口であり、空気流入口211には吸込みブラシ(図示せず)の吸込みホースが連結される。
【0022】
カバー20は上記フィルタケース10に分離可能に結合され、その略中央部には空気流入孔21が形成され、その縁部にはフィルタケース10の係止突部12に係止する複数のホック22が形成される。かかる係止突部12及びホック22の構造により、カバー20はフィルタケース10に結合及び分離され得る。空気流入孔21は、図5に示すように、本発明の集塵フィルタ100を掃除機本体200の集塵室210に取付けするときに、集塵室210の空気流入口211と連通される。よって、真空発生装置300が駆動すると、空気流入孔21を通して吸込みブラシから汚物を含んだ空気が集塵フィルタ100へ吸込まれる。一方、カバー20には複数のリブ23が突設されるが、これについては後述する。
【0023】
汚物分離手段30は、上記カバーの空気流入孔21に流入され、フィルタケース10の空気排出孔11へ排出される空気に含まれた汚物を分離するように上記フィルタケース10に内装され、これにより汚物を含んだ上記空気が浄化されて排出される。このような汚物分離手段30は、大きい汚物を1次分離する第1汚物分離部材31と、該第1汚物分離部材によって分離しない微細汚物を2次分離する第2汚物分離部材35とを備える。
【0024】
第1汚物分離部材31は、フレーム32と網状体33とを備える。フレーム32は、フィルタケース10の内部空間Sを外側の汚物収去部S1と内側の空気排出部S2とに区切るようにフィルタケース10の後面部10aに一体に形成され、その半径方向に開放された複数の孔32aを有する。網状体33は、フレーム32の孔32aを取り囲むようにフレーム32の側部に取付けられる。空気は、カバー20の空気流入孔21を通して流入され、汚物収去部S1、網状体33、空気排出部S2、及びフィルタケース10の空気排出孔11を通って排出される。このとき、空気中に含まれた汚物は、網状体33を通過できないことにより、空気から分離して汚物収去部S1に収去される。
【0025】
第2汚物分離部材35は、第1ブラケット36、第2ブラケット37、及び微細埃用フィルタ38とを備える。第1ブラケット36は、フィルタケース10の空気排出部S2に該当するフィルタケース10の後面部10aに当接され、その中央部には空気排出孔11と対応する通孔36aが形成される。第2ブラケット37はフレーム32の端部にその縁部が支持されるように設けられる。また、微細埃用フィルタ38は、その両端が第1ブラケット36と第2ブラケット37との周縁部に支持されて設けられる。ここで、微細埃用フィルタ38は不織布でなり得、上記不織布は汚物分離面積を広くするための複数のギャザー部を有することが望ましい。また、第2ブラケット37はその中央から放射方向に下向き傾斜した円錐状を成すことが空気の円滑な流れという面で良い。つまり、上記のような円錐状の第2ブラケット37によってカバー20の空気流入孔21を通して流入される空気は、フィルタケース10内部の汚物収去部S1へ円滑に流れていくことができる。一方、前述したカバー20に備えられる複数のリブ23は、図4に示すように、カバー20がフィルタケース10に結合するとき、フレーム32の端部に支持された第2ブラケット37を押圧することにより、第2ブラケット37がその設置位置から離脱しなくなる。
【0026】
同図にて図面符号14はフィルタケース10の後面部10aと第1ブラケット36との間の気密を保持するためのO―リングであり、O―リング14は、後面部10aのフレーム32の形成部位に沿って形成される溝14aに介在される。
【0027】
以下、上記のように構成された本発明による集塵フィルタを備える真空掃除機の作用を図5及び図6に基づいて説明する。本発明の要部構成である集塵フィルタ100は、図5及び6に示すように、真空掃除機本体200の集塵室210に着脱自在に取付けられる。このとき、集塵フィルタ100の空気流入孔21は集塵室210と連通し、集塵フィルタ100の空気排出孔11は集塵室210の空気排出口221と連通するように設けられる。
【0028】
よって、掃除を開始して駆動室230の真空発生装置300が駆動すると、上記集塵室210に強い負圧が発生し、それにより吸込みフィルタ(図示せず)を通して被掃除面に在る各種汚物を含んだ空気が集塵室210へ吸込まれる。
【0029】
上記吸込まれた空気は、集塵室210の空気流入口211、集塵フィルタ100の空気流入孔21を通して集塵フィルタ100の内部へ流入され、流入された空気は、第2汚物分離部材35の第2ブラケット37によってフィルタケース10の汚物収去部S1へガイドされ、第1汚物分離部材31の網状体33、第2汚物分離部材35の微細埃用フィルタ38、空気排出部S2、集塵フィルタ100の空気排出孔11、集塵室210の空気排出口221、及び駆動室230を経由して外部へ排出される。
【0030】
このとき、空気中に含まれた大きい汚物は、第1汚物分離部材31の網状体33を通り過ぎずに空気から分離されて第1汚物分離部材31の内部に収去され、第1汚物分離部材31によって分離されない微細汚物は、第2汚物分離部材35の微細埃用フィルタ38によって2次分離され、このように汚物が分離され浄化された空気は、上記の排出経路に沿って外部へ排出される。
【0031】
一方、フィルタケース10の汚物収去部S1が分離された汚物で一杯になると、集塵フィルタ100を掃除機本体200の集塵室210から取り外し、カバー20を分離してフィルタケース10に収去された汚物を捨てる。このとき、第2汚物分離部材35の掃除も共に行う。次いで、これらを洗浄して組み立てた後、再び掃除機本体200の集塵室210に取付けて使用する。
【0032】
以下、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の真空掃除機用集塵フィルタ及びそれを備えた真空掃除機の好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明はかかる例に限定されない。当業者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された技術的思想の範疇内において各種の変形例又は修正例に想到し得ることは明らかであり、それらについても当然に本発明の技術的思想に属するものと了解される。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
本発明によると、吸込まれる空気に含まれた汚物を分離収去する集塵フィルタを半永久的に使用できるため、従来の紙フィルタを取り替えるのにかかる費用を低減できるので、掃除機の維持費用を減らすことができる。
【0034】
また、本発明によると、集塵フィルタの構造が細菌の繁殖しにくい構造であるため、周辺環境を衛生的に維持でき、且つ集塵フィルタの取付け及び取り外しが容易で、掃除機を使用するのに非常に便利である。
【0035】
つまり、本発明によると、掃除機の維持費用が少なく済み、衛生的で、更に使いやすい真空掃除機、すなわち、使用者の立場から非常に満足してもらえる真空掃除機を提供することができる。
