まず、集塵装置の集塵手段8を起動すると、ほこり検知手段81により室内に浮遊する塵埃の検知が開始される(ステップ1)。ほこり検知手段81により塵埃が検知されると、制御部9は第1赤外通信部82を通じて、送風手段7aに制御信号を送信すると共に第1送風部83の動作を開始し、集塵手段8の外部空気の吸気が行われる。さらに送風手段7aの制御部72が制御部9からの制御信号を第2通信部71を通じて受信し、第2送風部73を制御し第2送風部73から送風を開始する(ステップ2)。   First, when the dust collecting means 8 of the dust collecting device is activated, the dust detecting means 81 starts detecting dust floating in the room (step 1). When dust is detected by the dust detection means 81, the control section 9 transmits a control signal to the blower means 7a through the first infrared communication section 82 and starts the operation of the first blower section 83. The outside air is inhaled. Furthermore, the control part 72 of the ventilation means 7a receives the control signal from the control part 9 through the 2nd communication part 71, controls the 2nd ventilation part 73, and starts ventilation from the 2nd ventilation part 73 (step 2).

送風手段7bにおいても同様に制御部9からの指示により送風を開始する。   Similarly, the blower 7b starts blowing in response to an instruction from the control unit 9.

ここで集塵気流10と送風手段7a、7bの設置位置と風向について説明を行う。   Here, the installation position and the wind direction of the dust collection airflow 10 and the air blowing means 7a and 7b will be described.

集塵気流10は集塵手段8から室内上方に排気された風が天井にあたり、その後、天井に沿って室内の集塵手段8と対向する壁に流れ、そこで壁にあたり床に向かって下降し、その後、床に沿って集塵手段8へ向かう室内を循環する流れとなる。   In the dust collecting air flow 10, the wind exhausted upward from the dust collecting means 8 hits the ceiling, and then flows along the ceiling to the wall facing the dust collecting means 8 in the room, where it hits the wall and descends toward the floor, Thereafter, the flow circulates in the room toward the dust collecting means 8 along the floor.

送風手段7aは前記集塵気流10の天井を沿って流れるのを補助するように室内の壁面50の天井付近に設置され、図1の奥側から手前に向けて送風している。また送風手段7bは集塵手段8の排気風が室内全体に広がると共に、自身の送風が壁面50に当たり、壁面50に沿って床に向かって下降し、その後、床に沿って集塵手段8へ向かうように図1の集塵手段8の右側(壁面50方向)に向けて送風している。   The air blowing means 7a is installed in the vicinity of the ceiling of the wall surface 50 in the room so as to assist in flowing along the ceiling of the dust collecting air flow 10, and blows air from the back side in FIG. In addition, the air blowing means 7b spreads the exhaust air from the dust collecting means 8 throughout the room, and its own air blows against the wall surface 50, descends toward the floor along the wall surface 50, and then moves along the floor to the dust collecting means 8. The air is blown toward the right side (in the direction of the wall surface 50) of the dust collecting means 8 in FIG.

室内を循環する集塵気流10は集塵手段8の排気風量、風向及び送風手段7の送風風量、風向により、その流れが変化する。そのため制御部9は集塵気流10が室内全体を流れるように集塵手段8の排気風量、風向及び送風手段7の送風風量、風向を複数のパターンで所定時間毎に切り替えながら制御している。例えば集塵手段8の排気風量大、風向を真上、送風手段7aの風量小、風向を壁面50に平行、送風手段7bの風量小、風向を壁面50方向とした場合の動作条件をパターンAとすると、パターンAでは図1の室内の左側を流れる集塵気流10aが主になる。また、集塵手段8の排気風量大、風向を略右(壁面50方向)、送風手段7aの風量大、風向を壁面50に平行、送風手段7bの風量大、風向を壁面50方向とした場合の動作条件をパターンBとすると、パターンBでは図1の室内のセンターより右側を流れる集塵気流10bが主になる。   The flow of the dust collection airflow 10 circulating in the room varies depending on the exhaust airflow amount and the wind direction of the dust collection means 8 and the blown airflow amount and the wind direction of the blower means 7. Therefore, the control unit 9 performs control while switching the exhaust air volume and the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the air flow rate and the air direction of the air blowing means 7 in a plurality of patterns every predetermined time so that the dust collecting air flow 10 flows through the entire room. For example, the operating conditions when the exhaust air volume of the dust collecting means 8 is large, the wind direction is directly above, the air volume of the air blowing means 7a is small, the air direction is parallel to the wall surface 50, the air volume of the air blowing means 7b is small, and the air direction is the wall surface 50 direction are pattern A. Then, in the pattern A, the dust collection air flow 10a flowing on the left side of the room in FIG. Further, when the exhaust air volume of the dust collecting means 8 is large, the wind direction is substantially right (the direction of the wall surface 50), the air volume of the air blowing means 7a is large, the air direction is parallel to the wall surface 50, the air volume of the air blowing means 7b is large, and the air direction is the wall surface 50 direction. Assuming that the operating condition is pattern B, in pattern B, dust collection air flow 10b flowing on the right side from the center of the room in FIG.

これらの送風パターンは送風手段7a、7bの設置した場所において、送風手段7の発生する気流と集塵手段8の気流とが、互いに弱め合ったり、打ち消し合わないでかつ集塵気流10が室内全体に流れる様に室内の大きさ、家具のレイアウト情報により予め設定されている。   These air blowing patterns are such that the air flow generated by the air blowing means 7 and the air flow of the dust collecting means 8 do not weaken or cancel each other at the place where the air blowing means 7a and 7b are installed, and the dust collecting air flow 10 is not in the entire room. The size of the room and the layout information of the furniture are set in advance.

それにより制御部9によるこれらの集塵装置8、送風手段7の送風制御により室内全体を流れる循環した気流が形成されることになる。   As a result, a circulating airflow flowing through the entire room is formed by the airflow control of the dust collector 8 and the air blowing means 7 by the control unit 9.

続いて図3の動作フローにおいて、予め設定される所定の時間(例えば1分)が経過したら(ステップ3)、制御部9は集塵手段8の排気風量、風向及び送風手段7の送風風量、風向を変更する(ステップ4)。そして、さらに所定の時間(例えば1分)が経過したら(ステップ3)、制御部9は、ほこり検知手段81の検知状態を確認し(ステップ6)、塵埃を検知していればステップ2に戻り、再度、集塵手段8の排気風量、風向及び送風手段7の送風風量、風向を変更する(ステップ2)。   Subsequently, in the operation flow of FIG. 3, when a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) set in advance has elapsed (step 3), the control unit 9 controls the exhaust air volume of the dust collecting means 8, the wind direction, and the blown air volume of the air blowing means 7, The wind direction is changed (step 4). When a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed (step 3), the control unit 9 confirms the detection state of the dust detection means 81 (step 6), and returns to step 2 if dust is detected. Then, the exhaust air volume and the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the blow air volume and the air direction of the air blowing means 7 are changed again (step 2).

つまり、送風手段7a、7bと集塵手段8による集塵気流10の発生後、塵埃を検知している間は所定時間毎に制御部9により集塵手段8の排気風量、風向及び送風手段7の送風風量、風向が変更され、集塵気流10が室内全体を流れるように変化する。   That is, after the dust collecting air flow 10 is generated by the air blowing means 7a and 7b and the dust collecting means 8, the control unit 9 performs the exhaust air flow rate, the wind direction and the air blowing means 7 by the control unit 9 every predetermined time while the dust is detected. The air flow rate and the wind direction are changed so that the dust collection airflow 10 flows through the entire room.

ステップ6で浮遊する塵埃を検知しなくなった場合は、その時点から所定の時間(例えば2分)が経過したか否かを判断する(ステップ7)。所定の時間が経過したら送風手段7a、7bと集塵手段8を停止させる(ステップ5)。そして最初のステップ1の浮遊する塵埃のほこりの検知待ち動作に戻る。   If no floating dust is detected in step 6, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) has elapsed since that time (step 7). When the predetermined time has elapsed, the air blowing means 7a and 7b and the dust collecting means 8 are stopped (step 5). Then, the process returns to the first step 1 for waiting for detection of floating dust.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、集塵手段8に内蔵されるほこり検知手段81により室内に浮遊する塵埃の検知することで、集塵手段8、送風手段7a、7bの連携し
た運転が開始され、塵埃を検知している間は所定時間毎に集塵手段8、送風手段7a、7bの風量、風向が変更されることで室内全体を循環し流れる集塵気流10を生成し、浮遊する塵埃を効率的に集塵することが可能になる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, the dust detection means 81 incorporated in the dust collection means 8 detects dust floating in the room, so that the dust collection means 8 and the air blowing means 7a and 7b are operated in cooperation. Is started, and while the dust is detected, the dust collecting means 8 and the air volume and direction of the air blowing means 7a and 7b are changed every predetermined time to generate a dust collecting airflow 10 that circulates and flows through the entire room, It becomes possible to efficiently collect floating dust.

尚、本実施の形態において送風手段7は2台、集塵装置8が1台で構成するとしたが、これは室内の大きさ、形状など、必要に応じて適宜選定できるものであり、設置場所も含め実施の形態そのものの構成に限られるものではない。   In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the air blowing means 7 and the dust collecting device 8 are composed of one unit, but this can be appropriately selected according to necessity, such as the size and shape of the room, and the installation location. The configuration is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment itself.

さらに、本実施の形態において集塵装置はある2つのパターンの集塵気流10のみを形成する構成としたが、送風手段7、集塵手段8の風量及び風向を調整し異なる集塵気流10へと切り替えを定期的または時間的に偏重したパターンで行い、集塵気流10の室内の循環の流れを変更し集塵の効率を高める構成としてもかまわない。   Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the dust collector is configured to form only two patterns of the dust collecting air flow 10, but the air volume and the wind direction of the air blowing means 7 and the dust collecting means 8 are adjusted to be different dust collecting air flows 10. Alternatively, the switching may be performed in a pattern that is regularly or temporally biased to change the circulation flow of the dust collection airflow 10 in the room to increase the dust collection efficiency.

またさらに、送風手段7、集塵装置8の気流が打ち消し合わないように、風量、風向を設定としたが、積極的に、これらの気流を衝突させてそれにより発生する気流をもとに集塵気流10を形成することで室内の様々な箇所に流れるようにしても構わない。   Furthermore, the air volume and the air direction are set so that the air currents of the air blowing means 7 and the dust collector 8 do not cancel each other out. However, these air currents are positively collided and collected based on the air currents generated thereby. The dust airflow 10 may be formed so as to flow in various places in the room.

またさらに、上記実施例1においては、制御信号の送受信を赤外光で行う構成としたが、この構成に限定するものではなく、赤外光の代わりに電波を使用した無線通信を用いても同様の効果が得られるものである。   In the first embodiment, the control signal is transmitted and received by infrared light. However, the present invention is not limited to this structure, and wireless communication using radio waves instead of infrared light may be used. Similar effects can be obtained.

(実施の形態2)
図4は、本発明の実施の形態2における室内用集塵装置を設けた室内の斜視図を示すものである。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the room provided with the indoor dust collector in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

図4において、室内の壁面51の天井付近に空調機器11が設けられている。   In FIG. 4, the air conditioner 11 is provided near the ceiling of the wall surface 51 in the room.

空調機器11はいわゆるエアコンでルーバーにより風向を上下、左右に変更可能なものである。また、実施の形態1同様に室内の床面付近の一角には集塵手段8が設けられている。   The air conditioner 11 is a so-called air conditioner that can change the wind direction up and down and left and right by a louver. As in the first embodiment, dust collecting means 8 is provided at one corner near the floor surface in the room.

集塵手段8は方向制御部87において左右方向にルーバーの傾斜角を変更して風向を上下だけでなく左右方向にも風向を変更可能となった点が異なる。他の各部については実施の形態1と同じであるので説明は省略する。   The dust collection means 8 is different in that the direction control unit 87 can change the inclination angle of the louver in the left-right direction to change the wind direction not only up and down but also in the left-right direction. Since other parts are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

制御部9は第1赤外通信部82を通じて、赤外光により空調機器11に制御信号を送信する。   The control unit 9 transmits a control signal to the air conditioner 11 by infrared light through the first infrared communication unit 82.

第1赤外通信部82は前記のように赤外光を用いて信号を送信するもので、赤外リモコンの信号パターンを記憶する、いわゆる学習型リモコンの機能を有し、事前に室内の空調機器11の信号パターンを記憶しておくことで集塵手段8から空調機器11の風量と風向(ルーバーの方向制御)を制御出来る。空調機器11は制御部9からの制御信号をリモコン受光部を通じて受信し、制御信号に応じて送風風量及び風向を変更する。   The first infrared communication unit 82 transmits signals using infrared light as described above, and has a function of a so-called learning-type remote controller that stores the signal pattern of the infrared remote controller, and is previously air-conditioned in the room. By storing the signal pattern of the device 11, the air volume and the air direction (louver direction control) of the air conditioner 11 can be controlled from the dust collecting means 8. The air conditioner 11 receives a control signal from the control unit 9 through the remote control light receiving unit, and changes the air flow rate and direction according to the control signal.

また、第1赤外通信部82は赤外光を用いて情報伝達を行うことで、既存の赤外リモコンを使用する他の空調機器との連携も容易に行えるものである。   Moreover, the 1st infrared communication part 82 can perform the cooperation with the other air-conditioning equipment which uses the existing infrared remote control by transmitting information using infrared light.

以上のように構成された集塵装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the dust collector comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

図5は本発明の室内用集塵装置の動作フローを示したものである。   FIG. 5 shows an operation flow of the indoor dust collector of the present invention.

まず、集塵装置の集塵手段8を起動すると、ほこり検知手段81により室内に浮遊する塵埃の検知が開始される(ステップ11)。ほこり検知手段81により塵埃が検知されると、制御部9は第1赤外通信部82を通じて、空調機器11に制御信号を送信すると共に第1送風部83の動作を開始し、集塵手段8の外部空気の吸気が行われる。さらに空調機器11は制御部9からの制御信号に基づいて指示された風量、風向で送風を開始する(ステップ12)。   First, when the dust collecting means 8 of the dust collecting device is activated, the dust detecting means 81 starts detecting dust floating in the room (step 11). When dust is detected by the dust detection means 81, the control section 9 transmits a control signal to the air conditioner 11 through the first infrared communication section 82 and starts the operation of the first blower section 83, and the dust collection means 8. The outside air is inhaled. Further, the air conditioner 11 starts blowing with the air volume and the air direction instructed based on the control signal from the control unit 9 (step 12).

ここで集塵気流10と空調機器11と集塵手段8から送風される気流について説明を行う。   Here, the airflow blown from the dust collection airflow 10, the air conditioner 11, and the dust collection means 8 will be described.

図6、図7は空調機器11と集塵手段8によって形成される集塵気流10の様子を説明するための室内空間を側方から見た側面図及び上面図である。図6は空調機器11の風向を床面方向の下向き、集塵手段8の風向を天井方向の真上とした場合、空調機器11から下向きに送風された気流は集塵手段8に吸引され集塵手段8から室内上方に排気された風が天井にあたり、その後天井に沿って空調機器11に向かって流れ室内を循環する集塵気流10cとなる。   6 and 7 are a side view and a top view, as seen from the side, of the indoor space for explaining the state of the dust collecting airflow 10 formed by the air conditioner 11 and the dust collecting means 8. In FIG. 6, when the air direction of the air conditioner 11 is downward in the floor direction and the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 is directly above the ceiling direction, the air flow blown downward from the air conditioner 11 is sucked by the dust collecting means 8 and collected. The wind exhausted from the dust means 8 to the upper part of the room hits the ceiling, and then flows along the ceiling toward the air conditioner 11 to become a dust collection air flow 10c circulating in the room.

図7(a)は空調機器11の水平方向の風向を空調機器11からみて右向き(図7(a)の壁面51方向)、集塵手段8の風向を集塵手段8からみて右向き(図7(a)の壁面53方向)とした場合(上下方向は下向きとする。)、空調機器11から右向きに送風された気流は集塵手段8に吸引されるとともに、集塵手段8から右向きに排気された気流と合流し室内の壁面53にあたり、その後壁面53に沿って空調機器11に向かって流れ室内を循環する集塵気流10fとなる。   7A shows the airflow direction of the air conditioner 11 in the right direction when viewed from the air conditioner 11 (in the direction of the wall 51 in FIG. 7A), and the airflow direction of the dust collection means 8 as seen from the dust collection means 8 is rightward (see FIG. 7). (The wall surface 53 direction of (a)) (the vertical direction is downward) The airflow blown rightward from the air conditioner 11 is sucked into the dust collecting means 8 and exhausted rightward from the dust collecting means 8. It becomes the dust-collecting airflow 10f that merges with the airflow and hits the wall surface 53 in the room and then flows along the wall surface 53 toward the air conditioner 11 and circulates in the room.

また、図7(b)は空調機器11の水平方向の風向を空調機器11からみて左向き(図7(b)の壁面53方向)、集塵手段8の風向を集塵手段8からみて左向き(図7(b)の壁面51方向)とした場合、空調機器11から左向きに送風された気流は壁面53にあたり、壁面53に沿って流れて集塵手段8に吸引される共に集塵手段8から左向きに排気された風と合流し、室内の壁面51にあたり、その後壁面51に沿って空調機器11に向かって流れ室内を循環する集塵気流10gとなる。   7B shows the airflow direction of the air conditioner 11 in the left direction when viewed from the air conditioner 11 (the direction of the wall 53 in FIG. 7B), and the air direction of the dust collecting means 8 is leftward when viewed from the dust collection means 8. 7 (b), the airflow blown to the left from the air conditioner 11 hits the wall surface 53, flows along the wall surface 53 and is sucked by the dust collecting means 8, and from the dust collecting means 8. The air that has been exhausted to the left merges, hits the wall surface 51 in the room, and then flows along the wall surface 51 toward the air conditioner 11 and becomes a dust collection airflow 10g that circulates in the room.

以上のような気流を室内全体でみると、集塵手段8の制御部9は空調機器11と集塵手段8の送風方向を水平、垂直同時に制御するので、空調機器11の風向を垂直下向き、水平右向き、集塵手段8の風向を垂直上向き、水平右向きとした場合の動作条件をパターンcとする。パターンcにした場合は、図6と図7(a)の合成の集塵気流10となり、図4に示す集塵気流10hのように図4の手前からみて右側に傾いて室内を循環する気流となる。   When the airflow as described above is viewed throughout the room, the control unit 9 of the dust collecting means 8 controls the air blowing direction of the air conditioner 11 and the dust collecting means 8 simultaneously in the horizontal and vertical directions. The operation condition when the horizontal direction is the right, the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 is the vertical upward direction, and the horizontal right direction is the pattern c. In the case of pattern c, the combined dust collection airflow 10 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A is obtained, and an airflow that circulates in the room tilted to the right when viewed from the front of FIG. 4 like the dust collection airflow 10h shown in FIG. It becomes.

一方、空調機器11の風向を垂直下向き、水平左向き、集塵手段8の風向を垂直上向き、水平左向きとした場合の動作条件をパターンdとする。パターンdにした場合は、図6と図7(b)の合成の集塵気流10となり、図8に示す集塵気流10jのように図8の手前からみて左側に傾いて室内を循環する気流となる。   On the other hand, an operation condition when the airflow direction of the air conditioner 11 is vertically downward and horizontal leftward, and the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 is vertically upward and horizontal leftward is a pattern d. In the case of pattern d, a combined dust collection airflow 10 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7B is obtained, and an airflow that circulates in the room tilted to the left when viewed from the front of FIG. 8 as in the dust collection airflow 10j shown in FIG. It becomes.

続いて図5の動作フローにおいて、予め設定される所定の時間(例えば1分)が経過したら(ステップ13)、制御部9は集塵手段8の排気方向及び送風手段7の送風風向を変更(動作指示パターンdへ変更)する(ステップ14)。そして、さらに所定の時間(例えば1分)が経過したら(ステップ13)、制御部9は、ほこり検知手段81の検知状態を確認し(ステップ16)、塵埃を検知していればステップ12に戻り、再度、集塵手段8の排気方向及び送風手段7の送風風向を変更する(ステップ12)。つまり、送風手段
7a、7bと集塵手段8による集塵気流10の発生後、塵埃を検知している間は所定時間毎に制御部9により集塵手段8の排気方向及び送風手段7の送風風向が変更される。
ステップ16で浮遊する塵埃を検知しなくなった場合は、その時点から所定の時間(例えば2分)が経過したか否かを判断する(ステップ17)。所定の時間が経過したら送風手段7a、7bと集塵手段8を停止させる(ステップ15)。そして最初のステップ1の浮遊する塵埃のほこりの検知待ち動作に戻る。
Subsequently, in the operation flow of FIG. 5, when a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) elapses (step 13), the control unit 9 changes the exhaust direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the blowing air direction of the blowing means 7 ( Change to operation instruction pattern d) (step 14). When a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed (step 13), the control unit 9 confirms the detection state of the dust detection means 81 (step 16), and returns to step 12 if dust is detected. Then, the exhaust direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the blowing air direction of the blowing means 7 are changed again (step 12). That is, after the dust collecting air flow 10 is generated by the air blowing means 7a and 7b and the dust collecting means 8, the control unit 9 performs the exhaust direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the air blowing of the air blowing means 7 every predetermined time while the dust is detected. The wind direction is changed.
If no floating dust is detected in step 16, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) has elapsed since that time (step 17). When the predetermined time elapses, the air blowing means 7a and 7b and the dust collecting means 8 are stopped (step 15). Then, the process returns to the first step 1 for waiting for detection of floating dust.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、集塵手段8に内蔵されるほこり検知手段81により室内に浮遊する塵埃の検知することで、集塵手段8、空調機器11の連携した運転が開始され、塵埃を検知している間は所定時間毎に集塵手段8、空調機器11の風向が変更されることで室内全体を循環する集塵気流10を生成し、浮遊する塵埃を効率的に集塵することが可能になる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the dust detection unit 81 incorporated in the dust collection unit 8 detects dust floating in the room, and the operation of the dust collection unit 8 and the air conditioner 11 is started. While the dust is detected, the wind direction of the dust collecting means 8 and the air conditioner 11 is changed every predetermined time, thereby generating a dust collecting air flow 10 that circulates the entire room, and efficiently floating the dust. It becomes possible to collect dust.

尚、本実施の形態において集塵装置8が1台、室内の空調機器11を送風手段7として用いて他の送風手段は用いない構成としたが、これは室内の大きさ、形状など、必要に応じて適宜選定できるものであり、実施の形態そのものの構成に限られるものではない。   In the present embodiment, one dust collector 8 is used, and the indoor air conditioner 11 is used as the blowing means 7 and no other blowing means is used. However, this is necessary for the size and shape of the room. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment itself.

また、空調機器11及び集塵手段8の風向のみ変化させるとしたが、風量も適宜、変更するようにしてもよい。例えば風量を所定時間内に徐々に強くし、最大まで達した後、徐々風量を弱くするように風量も変更する事で室内に流れる集塵気流10の状態が変化し、より室内全体を流れる集塵気流が形成出来る。   Further, although only the air direction of the air conditioner 11 and the dust collecting means 8 is changed, the air volume may be changed as appropriate. For example, the airflow is gradually increased within a predetermined time, and after reaching the maximum, the airflow is also changed so as to gradually decrease the airflow, so that the state of the dust collection airflow 10 flowing in the room changes, and the airflow flowing through the entire room is further increased. A dust stream can be formed.

図10に示すように、自動移動式掃除機本体21は、障害物の有無及び距離を検知する障害物検知手段22と、ジャイロセンサー等で構成され自動移動式掃除機本体21の回転角度、及び自動移動式掃除機本体21の移動方向を検知する方向検知手段23と、駆動輪29の径とその回転数より自動移動式掃除機本体21の移動距離を検知する距離認識手段24と、駆動輪29を駆動し従輪30とともに自動移動式掃除機本体21を走行させる走行手段27と、前記方向検知手段23の方向出力と前記距離認識手段24の距離出力より自動移動式掃除機本体21の位置を算出し、かつ自動移動式掃除機本体21の移動軌跡を記録する位置認識手段26と、自動移動式掃除機本体21の前方に設置され障害物との接触を検知する緩衝手段28と、通電時からの経過時間などの時間を計時する計時手段32と、使用者が自動移動式掃除機本体21の起動及び停止または各種設定の変更等の指示を入力する設定入力手段31と、前記障害物検知手段22、方向検知手段23、距離認識手段24、位置認識手段26、緩衝手段28、設定入力手段31、計時手段32の出力を受けて前記走行手段27を制御する制御部25とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 10, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 includes obstacle detection means 22 that detects the presence and distance of an obstacle, a gyro sensor, and the like, a rotation angle of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21, and Direction detecting means 23 for detecting the moving direction of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21, distance recognition means 24 for detecting the moving distance of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 from the diameter of the driving wheel 29 and its rotational speed, and driving wheels The position of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 is determined by the driving means 27 for driving the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 together with the driven wheel 30 and the direction output of the direction detection means 23 and the distance output of the distance recognition means 24. A position recognizing means 26 for calculating and recording the movement trajectory of the automatic mobile cleaner body 21; a buffer means 28 for detecting contact with an obstacle installed in front of the automatic mobile cleaner body 21; A time measuring means 32 for measuring time such as an elapsed time from the electric power; a setting input means 31 for a user to input an instruction to start and stop the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner body 21 or change various settings; An object detection unit 22, a direction detection unit 23, a distance recognition unit 24, a position recognition unit 26, a buffer unit 28, a setting input unit 31, and a control unit 25 that controls the travel unit 27 in response to the output of the time measuring unit 32. ing.

また、方向検知手段23は角速度に比例した信号を出力するジャイロセンサーと、このジャイロセンサーの出力信号を積分し、角度に変換する回路により構成されている。   The direction detecting means 23 is constituted by a gyro sensor that outputs a signal proportional to the angular velocity, and a circuit that integrates the output signal of the gyro sensor and converts it into an angle.

また、自動移動式掃除機本体21は、赤外光伝達部(図示せず)を備え、前記送風手段7の第2赤外通信部71または集塵手段8の第1赤外通信部82と赤外光を用いて情報および制御信号のやりとりを行う。   The automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 includes an infrared light transmission unit (not shown), and the second infrared communication unit 71 of the blowing unit 7 or the first infrared communication unit 82 of the dust collection unit 8. Information and control signals are exchanged using infrared light.

以上のように構成された集塵装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the dust collector comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

まず、集塵装置の集塵手段8を起動すると、ほこり検知手段81により室内に浮遊する塵埃の検知が開始され、塵埃が検知されると、実施の形態1と同様に集塵手段8の制御部9からの制御信号により送風手段7a、7bと集塵手段8が送風を行い室内を循環する集塵気流10a、10bを形成する。この集塵気流10a、10bによって室内の塵埃が搬送され集塵手段8で集塵される。ほこり検知手段81により塵埃を検知しなくなって所定の時間(例えば2分)、送風手段7、集塵手段8が動作した後、制御部9は送風手段7、集塵手段8を停止させる。   First, when the dust collecting means 8 of the dust collector is activated, the dust detecting means 81 starts detecting dust floating in the room. When dust is detected, the control of the dust collecting means 8 is performed as in the first embodiment. The air blowing means 7a, 7b and the dust collecting means 8 are blown by the control signal from the section 9 to form dust collecting airflows 10a, 10b circulating in the room. The dust collected in the room is transported by the dust collecting airflows 10 a and 10 b and collected by the dust collecting means 8. After the dust detection unit 81 stops detecting dust and the air blowing unit 7 and the dust collecting unit 8 operate for a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes), the control unit 9 stops the air blowing unit 7 and the dust collecting unit 8.

制御部9はさらに前記所定の時間から一定時間経過後(5分)、第1赤外通信部82より赤外光を用いて情報および制御信号を送信し、自動移動式掃除機本体21が赤外光伝達部(図示せず)で受信することで、自動移動式掃除機本体21は動作を開始し、室内の床面の掃除を行う。ここで自動移動式掃除機本体21の動作について説明を行う。   The control unit 9 further transmits information and a control signal using infrared light from the first infrared communication unit 82 after a predetermined time has elapsed from the predetermined time (5 minutes), and the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 is red. By receiving it with an external light transmission unit (not shown), the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 starts its operation and cleans the indoor floor surface. Here, the operation of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 will be described.

自動移動式掃除機本体21は起動後、自動移動式掃除機本体21は前進を開始し、自動移動式掃除機本体21前方に障害物検知手段22で障害物を所定距離以内(例えば10cm)に検知すると、制御部5は走行手段7を制御し自動移動式掃除機本体21を停止させランダムな角度回転(例えば左90度)を行う。このとき、制御部5は方向検知手段3の方向出力で本体1の回転角を監視しながら、走行手段7により左右の駆動輪9を逆回転(左駆動輪は後退、右駆動輪は前進)させることで本体1の左(反時計方向)90度回転を行う。回転終了後、再度前進を開始し、自動移動式掃除機本体21前方に再度、障害物検知手段22で障害物を検知するまで直進を続ける。以降この動作を繰り返しながら、室内の大きさなどから予め設定された時間だけ清掃を行う。   After the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 is activated, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 starts moving forward, and an obstacle is detected within a predetermined distance (for example, 10 cm) by the obstacle detection means 22 in front of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21. When detected, the control unit 5 controls the traveling means 7 to stop the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 and perform random angular rotation (for example, 90 degrees to the left). At this time, the control unit 5 reversely rotates the left and right driving wheels 9 by the traveling means 7 while monitoring the rotation angle of the main body 1 by the direction output of the direction detecting means 3 (the left driving wheel moves backward and the right driving wheel moves forward). As a result, the main body 1 is rotated 90 degrees to the left (counterclockwise). After the rotation is completed, the vehicle starts moving forward again and continues straight ahead of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 until the obstacle detection means 22 detects the obstacle. Thereafter, while repeating this operation, cleaning is performed for a preset time based on the size of the room.

自動移動式掃除機本体21が、室内の床面を清掃することにより集塵気流10に乗れずに床面に堆積した砂のような重量のある塵埃を除去することが出来る。   The automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 can remove dust having a heavy weight such as sand accumulated on the floor without being able to get on the dust collecting air flow 10 by cleaning the floor in the room.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、集塵気流12は室内を循環する集塵気流10a、10bとなり、集塵手段8において浮遊している塵埃を効率よく回収することができる。また、集塵気流10に乗れずに床面に堆積した砂のような重量のある塵埃は自動移動式掃除機本体21で除去することが出来る。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the dust collection airflow 12 becomes the dust collection airflows 10a and 10b circulating in the room, and the dust floating in the dust collection means 8 can be efficiently collected. Further, dust having a heavy weight such as sand accumulated on the floor surface without being able to get on the dust collecting air flow 10 can be removed by the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21.

尚、本実施の形態では自動移動式掃除機本体21は送風手段7、集塵手段8など停止後、さらに一定時間経過で、自動移動式掃除機本体21を毎回起動するとしたが、送風手段7、集塵手段8の所定の動作時間毎(例えば送風手段7、集塵手段8を3時間動作させた度に)、自動移動式掃除機本体21を起動しても同様の効果が得られると同時に装置全体の消費電力を抑えることも出来る。   In the present embodiment, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner body 21 starts the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner body 21 every time after a certain period of time has elapsed after the air blowing means 7 and the dust collecting means 8 are stopped. When the automatic movement cleaner body 21 is activated every predetermined operating time of the dust collecting means 8 (for example, every time the air blowing means 7 and the dust collecting means 8 are operated for 3 hours), the same effect can be obtained. At the same time, the power consumption of the entire apparatus can be suppressed.

また、本実施例では自動移動式掃除機本体21と集塵手段8をそれぞれ設ける構成としたが、この構成に限定されるものではなく、集塵手段8と自動移動式掃除機本体21を一体で形成して浮遊する塵埃も重量のあるほこりも自動移動式掃除機本体21で集塵してもよい。   In the present embodiment, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 and the dust collecting means 8 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The dust collector 8 and the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 are integrated. The dust that is formed and floated in the above and heavy dust may be collected by the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21.

(実施の形態4)
図11は、本発明の実施の形態4における自動移動式掃除機本体21の位置認識手段26に記憶されている室内の地図の説明図である。図12は本発明の実施の形態3における室内用集塵装置の清掃重点領域を加えた室内の斜視図である。
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of an indoor map stored in the position recognition means 26 of the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the room to which a cleaning priority area of the indoor dust collector in Embodiment 3 of the present invention is added.

実施の形態4は自走式掃除本体21の動作が異なるだけで、本体構成は実施の形態3と同じであるので構成の説明は省略する。   The fourth embodiment is different only in the operation of the self-propelled cleaning main body 21, and the main body configuration is the same as that of the third embodiment.

位置認識手段6には本体1の方向検知手段3により検知した本体21の回転角度(移動方向)と、距離認識手段4により検知される本体1の移動距離により算出した本体21の位置情報からその移動軌跡が図11に示すような2次元の地図座標上に記憶されていく。   The position recognizing means 6 includes the position information of the main body 21 calculated from the rotation angle (moving direction) of the main body 21 detected by the direction detecting means 3 of the main body 1 and the moving distance of the main body 1 detected by the distance recognizing means 4. The movement trajectory is stored on two-dimensional map coordinates as shown in FIG.

図11における座標は、X,Y軸それぞれ左、上方向の移動で座標が増えていくように定義し、1座標は本体21の幅とほぼ同じ大きさ(例えば30cm)としている。本実施の形態では、図11に示す移動領域内の最上部のY座標値をpとおいて、以下の説明で用いるものとする。また、図12との対応は図12における自動移動式掃除機21付近の室内の右端隅をP0地点とし、集塵手段8が設置されている室内の隅を図11におけるP2地点、室内の左下隅(集塵手段8の置かれている隅の対角の位置)の場所が図11におけるP1地点になる。   The coordinates in FIG. 11 are defined such that the coordinates increase as the X and Y axes move to the left and upward, respectively, and one coordinate is approximately the same as the width of the main body 21 (for example, 30 cm). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the uppermost Y coordinate value in the movement region shown in FIG. The correspondence with FIG. 12 is that the right end corner of the room near the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner 21 in FIG. 12 is the P0 point, the corner of the room where the dust collecting means 8 is installed is the P2 point in FIG. The location of the corner (the diagonal position of the corner where the dust collecting means 8 is placed) is the point P1 in FIG.

また、室内のタンス等の家具の配置情報も予め入力されている。実施の形態3と同様に制御部9により集塵手段8と送風手段7a、7bの送風制御により集塵気流10a、10bが形成され、さらに室内の形状および家具の配置等により集塵気流10a、10bの風量の弱い場所または吹きだまり場所を位置認識手段26に室内の形状を記録した地図と合わせて予め記憶している(図11における重点領域A、B)。   In addition, arrangement information of furniture such as indoor chiffons is also input in advance. As in the third embodiment, the control unit 9 forms dust collection airflows 10a and 10b by the airflow control of the dust collection means 8 and the airflow means 7a and 7b, and further the dust collection airflow 10a, The location where the air volume is low or the puddle location of 10b is stored in advance in the position recognition means 26 together with the map in which the indoor shape is recorded (priority areas A and B in FIG. 11).

以下その動作、作用を説明する。
自動移動式掃除機本体21は実施の形態3と同様にほこり検知手段81で塵埃を検知しなくなって所定時間経過後に集塵手段8の制御部9より起動されると、位置認識手段6に記憶されている室内の2次元地図から図11に示すような重点領域の清掃を行う。
The operation and action will be described below.
As in the third embodiment, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 does not detect the dust by the dust detection means 81 and is activated by the control unit 9 of the dust collection means 8 after a predetermined time has elapsed. The important area as shown in FIG. 11 is cleaned from the indoor two-dimensional map.

つまり、起動後、P0地点から重点領域A(座標(4,2)から始まる領域)に地図情報を基に制御部25が走行手段27を制御して移動し、この場所の清掃を行い、次に重点領域B(座標(8,5)から始まる領域)に移動し清掃を行う。   That is, after starting, the control unit 25 controls the traveling means 27 to move from the point P0 to the priority area A (area starting from the coordinates (4, 2)) based on the map information. And move to the priority area B (area starting from the coordinates (8, 5)) for cleaning.

以上のように本実施の形態に於いては自動移動式掃除機本体21が、室内の重点領域の床面を清掃することにより、室内を循環する集塵気流10に乗れずに床面に堆積した重量のある塵埃や、集塵気流10の弱い箇所で沈降した塵埃を除去することが出来る。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the automatic mobile vacuum cleaner main body 21 cleans the floor surface of the indoor important area, so that it does not get on the dust collection airflow 10 circulating in the room and accumulates on the floor surface. It is possible to remove the heavy dust and the dust that has settled at the place where the dust collection airflow 10 is weak.

上記した各実施の形態1〜4における構成は、必要に応じて適宜組み合わせて使用することができるものであり、実施の形態そのものの構成に限られるものではない。   The configuration in each of the first to fourth embodiments described above can be used in appropriate combination as necessary, and is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment itself.
