【0017】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例について図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0018】
(実施例1)
図1(a)は、本発明の第1の実施例である電気掃除機における補助集塵具の収容時の状態を示す側断面図であり、図1(b)は同、補助集塵具使用時の状態を示す側断面図である。図2は、同、電気掃除機の一部欠載断面図である。本実施例において、21は電気掃除機の本体(以下単に本体という)、22は本体21内に内蔵された電動送風機である。23は電動送風機22の吸気口側に設けた集塵室であり、集塵室23はごみ袋式、フィルタ式、遠心分離式、慣性集塵式等のいずれであっても構わない。
【0019】
また24は電動送風機の回転を制御する制御回路である。25は床ノズル(床用吸込具)であり、下方が開口している。床ノズル25内部には床ノズルモータ(図示せず)によって回転する回転ブラシ(図示せず)を配している。
【0020】
31、32はそれぞれ床ノズル25と本体21との間に設けられた接続管及びホース(主可撓性ホース)である。接続管31のホース32側には主ハンドル体33を設けており、さらに主ハンドル体33上には操作スイッチ34を有している。41は接続管31上に収容された補助集塵具である棚ブラシである。棚ブラシ41は、床面清掃時においては接続管31に備えた収容部42の開口部43に、面状に形成された塵埃付着部44が接続管31の内部を向くように取付けられている。45は塵埃付着部44に設けた毛ブラシで、棚ブラシ41内部には電荷発生部46と二次電池47、そして二次電池47を充電するための受電部48を設けている。また49は着脱状態を検知する検知部を兼ねた給電部である。50は毛ブラシ45及び塵埃付着部44の電荷を取り除く除電部であり、毛ブラシ45及び塵埃付着部44を囲むように配している。51は棚ブラシ41に設けた補助ハンドル体で伸縮が可能である。52は棚ブラシ41を収容部42から取り外したときに開口部43を塞ぐシャッターである。
【0021】
以下、本実施例の動作について説明する。図1(a)に示す状態では主ハンドル体33を持ち床ノズル25を清掃面に置き、操作スイッチ34で電源を入れると、制御回路24からの指令で電動送風機22が動作し吸引力が発生する。続いて回転ブラシが床ノズル25内の床ノズルモータによって回転し清掃面の塵埃を掻き揚げる。発生した吸引力によって周囲の空気が吸込まれ、清掃面の塵埃が床ノズル25内へと吸込まれる。吸込まれた塵埃は接続管31とホース32を通過し、集塵室23へと搬送されここで集塵される。このとき棚ブラシ41は補助ハンドル体を縮めた状態で、接続管31上の収容部42に収容されている。
【0022】
次に図1(b)にしめすように、棚等の床面以外の清掃を行う際には補助ハンドル体51と伸ばしてから持ち、そして収容部42から棚ブラシ41を取り外す。このとき、ばね等の力によってシャッター52が閉まり、開口部43が閉まる。同時に受電部48と給電部49が離れることで、棚ブラシ41が取り外されたことを検知し、制御回路24の指令で電動送風機の回転を止める。棚ブラシ41は二次電池47の電力を使い、電荷発生部46によって毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44にあらかじめ設定してある電荷を持たせる。ここで棚ブラシ41にて棚等を清掃すると、棚上の塵埃が毛ブラシ45や塵埃付着部44に付着する。
【0023】
棚清掃が終了すると再び図1(a)に示すように、収容部42に棚ブラシ41を収容する。ここで操作スイッチ34を操作し、電動送風機22によって気流を発生させると、毛ブラシ45や塵埃付着部44に付着していた塵埃が引き剥がされ集塵部23へと吸込まれていく(矢印A)。さらに除電部50を用いて毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44、付着した塵埃の電荷を取り除くので速やかに塵埃を取り除くことが可能で、また塵埃の再付着を防止できる。このとき給電部49と受電部48が接触し、二次電池47の充電が行われる。
【0024】
このようにして本実施例の電気掃除機を使用することによって、接続管31より着脱可能な棚ブラシ41を有し、さらにこの棚ブラシ41に付着した塵埃を自動的に除去することで、棚ブラシ41で細かな操作が行え隅々まで清掃でき、またホース32では届かない棚等も清掃可能である操作性を向上した電気掃除機を実現するものである。
【0025】
また棚ブラシ41内に二次電池47を内蔵し、塵埃付着部44に電荷を発生させる電荷発生部46を有し、接続管31上の収容部42にこの二次電池47への充電を行う給電部49を設けたので、より多くの塵埃を棚ブラシ41に付着させ、容易に棚等の清掃を行うことができる。
【0026】
また棚ブラシ41と収容部42との着脱状態を給電部49と受電部48を用いて検知し、この着脱状態の検知結果によって本体21に内蔵する電動送風機22の回転数を変化させる制御回路24を設けた構成としたので、棚ブラシ41を取り外しているときには電動送風機22を停止させ、また棚ブラシ41を収容した瞬間には電動送風機22の回転を高めて毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44に付着した塵埃を高速に除去することもできる。
【0027】
また棚ブラシ41を収容部42へ収容したときに、一定時間だけ毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44の除電を行う除電部50を設けたので、短時間で確実に毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44に付着した塵埃を除去することができる。
【0028】
(実施例2)
図3は、本発明の第2の実施例である電気掃除機の補助集塵具使用時の状態を示す側断面図である。なお棚ブラシ41以外の構成は実施例1と同様であるので、その詳細な説明を省略するものである。本実施例の棚ブラシ41には、二次電池の代わりに棚ブラシ41と接続管31もしくは主ハンドル体33との間に給電線61を設け、電荷発生部46によって毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44に電荷を発生させるので、連続的に長時間、棚ノズル41を操作可能で容易に棚等の清掃を行うことができる。また通常は棚ブラシ41を持つ手とは逆の手で主ハンドル体33を保持しているので、誤って棚ブラシ41を落としても給電線61を伝って容易に拾い上げることができ、清掃を続けることができるものである。
【0029】
(実施例3)
図4は、本発明の第3の実施例である電気掃除機における補助集塵具の収容時の状態を示す側断面図である。なお棚ブラシ41以外の構成は実施例1と同様であるので、その詳細な説明を省略するものである。本実施例の棚ブラシ41には、除電部の代わりに収容部42近傍に加振部68を設けており、棚ノズル41を収容部42へ収容したときに、一定時間だけ加振部68で発生した振動が振動伝達体67を通して開口部43に設けた振動枠66に伝わり、毛ブラシ45と塵埃付着部44に振動を与えるので、短時間で確実に塵埃付着面に付着した塵埃を除去することができる
(実施例4)
図5(a)は、本発明の第4の実施例である電気掃除機における補助集塵具の収容時の状態を示す側断面図であり、図5(b)は、同、補助集塵具使用時の状態を示す側断面図である。なお棚ブラシ41以外の構成は実施例1と同様であるので、その詳細な説明を省略するものである。本実施例の棚ブラシ41では、補助ハンドル体を床面掃除用の主ハンドル体33が兼用する構成としたので、使用者は棚ブラシ41を使用するためにハンドル体を持ち変える必要が無く、さらに棚ブラシ41のために別途ハンドル体を必要としないので小型かつ軽量な電気掃除機を実現するものである。
【0030】
(実施例5)
図6(a)は、本発明の第5の実施例である電気掃除機における補助集塵具の収容時の状態を示す側断面図であり、図5(b)は、同、補助集塵具使用時の状態を示す側断面図である。なお棚ブラシ41以外の構成は実施例1と同様であるので、その詳細な説明を省略するものである。本実施例の棚ブラシ41では、本体21に接続されたホース(主可撓性ホース)32に比べて細い補助可撓性ホース71を棚ブラシ41と接続管31または主ハンドル体33との間に設け、かつこの補助可撓性ホース71と連通した複数の補助吸込口72を塵埃付着部44に有している。さらに棚ブラシ41使用時に閉鎖する接続管閉鎖壁73を設けており、棚ブラシ41から補助可撓性ホース71へと通じる流れ(矢印B)を発生させている。これにより塵埃付着部44への塵埃の付着能力が向上し、掻き揚げ力や静電気の力だけでは付着させることができない大きさのごみをも付着させることができる。
【0031】
(実施例6)
図7(a)は、本発明の第6の実施例である電気掃除機における補助集塵具の使用時の状態を示す側断面図であり、図5(b)は、同、補助集塵具収容時の状態を示す側断面図である。なお棚ブラシ41以外の構成は実施例1と同様であるので、その詳細な説明を省略するものである。本実施例の棚ブラシ41では、塵埃付着部44側に係止部76によって着脱可能な塵埃付着紙77を装着しており、かつ接続管31へ収容時において任意にこの塵埃付着紙77を塵埃付着部44から取り除き(矢印C)本体21に内蔵する集塵室23へと格納する構成としたので、塵埃付着部44に固着した塵埃を手動で取り除く必要が無い、使い勝手の向上した電気掃除機を実現するものである。
【0032】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、請求項1から9に記載の発明によれば、接続管より着脱可能な補助集塵具を有し、さらにこの補助集塵具に付着した塵埃を自動的に除去することで、補助集塵具で細かな操作が行え隅々まで清掃でき、また可撓性ホースでは届かない棚等も清掃可能である操作性を向上した電気掃除機を実現するものである。
