  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, it demonstrates along FIG. 2 which shows the whole external appearance of the vacuum cleaner which concerns on an example of embodiment of this invention.

  The cleaner body 204 incorporates an electric blower (not shown) and a cord reel (not shown). Due to the suction force when the electric blower is driven, dust-containing air is sucked from the suction port 201, and the sucked dust-containing air is sucked into the cleaner body 204 through the extension pipe 202 and the hose 203, and a dust collecting case 301 to be described later. After collecting (collecting) the dust, exhaust the air out of the vacuum cleaner body.

  FIG. 3 is an external view of the cleaner body 204 according to an example of the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cleaner main body 204 has a dust collection case housing portion 205 formed in a recess of the upper body case 207 disposed between the lower body case 206 and the upper lid 302.

  The dust collection case 301 is detachably attached to the dust collection case housing portion 205. An openable / closable upper lid 302 is provided so as to cover the dust collecting portion 205.

  The upper lid 302 is attached to the upper rear portion of the upper body case 207 so as to be freely rotatable. The dust collection case 301 is taken in and out by opening the upper lid 302 as shown in FIG. During operation of the vacuum cleaner, the upper lid 302 is closed.

  When the cleaner is operated, the dust-containing air conveyed to the cleaner main body 204 flows into the dust collecting case 301 placed in the dust collecting case accommodating portion 205, and is separated to accommodate dust.

  FIG. 4 is an external view of a dust collection case 301 according to an example of the embodiment of the present invention.

  The dust collecting case 301 is provided with an inlet 402 through which dust-containing air enters. The dust collection case 301 includes a dust discharge lid 101 that discharges dust accumulated inside the dust collection case 301.

  The dust collection case 301 has a handle 401. When the dust collecting case 301 is taken out from the cleaner main body 204, the handle 401 is held and taken out.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a dust collection case 301 according to an example of the embodiment of the present invention.

  The dust collection case 301 is provided with a dust discharge lid 101 for discarding accumulated dust and a dust container 700 for storing sucked dust. The dust container 700 includes divided dust container blocks 102 and 103.

  The dust collection case 301 includes a corrugated filter 104 that filters fine dust. The vent hole of the corrugated filter 104 is smaller than the vent hole of the mesh filter stretched on the dust container 700.

  When the cleaner is operated, dust is sucked from the inlet 402 of the dust collecting case 301 and accumulated in the dust container 700. The dust container 700 collects coarse dust. The air containing fine dust that has passed through the mesh filter of the dust container 700 is filtered by a corrugated filter 104 that filters fine dust, and only air flows into the electric blower.

  Next, the dust container, which is the main part of the present invention, will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

  The dust container 700 can freely enter and leave a dust collection chamber formed inside the dust collection case 301. The dust collection case 301 has a container outlet 800 on the bottom side. The dust container 700 enters and exits the dust collection case 301 from the container outlet 800.

  The dust discharge lid 101 is rotatably supported by a discharge lid hinge 710 on the front side of the dust collection case 301. When the dust accumulated in the dust collecting case 301 is discarded, the handle 401 is held and the dust discharge lid 101 is opened to the substantially bottom side to be discarded.

  The dust container 700 has a block hinge 720 that rotatably supports the upper side of the dust container blocks 102 and 103. The dust container 700 having the mating portions divided in the vertical direction has a dust discharge port on the lower side and a shape that narrows toward the upper side.

  The mesh filter of the dust container 700 is provided on the upper side and the periphery. In the dust container 700, the lower side of the dust container block 102 is rotatably supported by the dust container hinge 730 on the lower front side of the dust collecting case 301.

  When discharging the dust, the dust discharge lid 101 is opened to the substantially bottom side, and at the same time, the dust storage chambers 102 and 103 are divided from the dust collection case in the direction of the bottom and jump out.

  For this reason, even if the dust accumulated in the dust container blocks 102 and 103 is compressed, the dust container 700 is divided, so that the compression of the dust can be relaxed and discharged smoothly.

  In addition, since the dust discharge lid 101 and the dust container blocks 102 and 103 can be configured in a simplified shape, the dust is not caught inside the dust collecting case 301 and can be easily trashed. is there.

  In particular, the dust container 700 has a dust discharge port on the lower side and a shape that narrows toward the upper side. When the dust container 700 discards dust, the downward dust discharge port opens widely, so that the dust is discharged more smoothly.

  The dust container block 102 of the dust container 700 has a dust-introducing cylinder portion 740 facing sideways. The mouth end of the dust introduction tube portion 740 is detachably contacted with the airtight packing 810 for the mouth end provided on the inner end side of the inlet 402 provided in the dust collecting case 301.

  Since the airtight packing 810 maintains a good airtightness, the dust that has been sucked flows into the dust collecting chamber of the dust collecting case 301 via the dust container 700. For this reason, coarse dust is collected in the dust container 700, and dust is collected such that fine dust is collected in the filtration filter 104.

  Coarse dust that accumulates in the dust container 700 is particularly compressed and accumulated, but the downward dust discharge port opens widely, so that it is discharged completely.
