Description

本発明は、タービンを原動機とする回転清掃体を備えた回転清掃体ユニット、吸込口体および電気掃除機に関する。   The present invention relates to a rotary cleaning body unit including a rotary cleaning body using a turbine as a prime mover, a suction port body, and a vacuum cleaner.

一般に、電気掃除機は吸込口体を備える。吸込口体は、吸込口本体の底面に吸込口を有する。吸込口体は、この吸込口から被掃除面上の塵埃を空気とともに吸い込む。   Generally, a vacuum cleaner is provided with a suction inlet. The suction port body has a suction port on the bottom surface of the suction port body. The suction port sucks dust on the surface to be cleaned together with air from the suction port.

そして、従来から吸込口に配置された回転清掃体を備えた吸込口体が知られている。吸込口体は、回転清掃体の原動機として電動機やタービンを備える。   And the suction inlet body provided with the rotary cleaning body arrange | positioned at the suction inlet conventionally is known. The suction port body includes an electric motor and a turbine as a prime mover of the rotary cleaning body.

タービンを原動機とする回転清掃体を備えた吸込口体は、タービンのトルクを伝達する伝達機構を備える(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   A suction port body including a rotary cleaning body that uses a turbine as a prime mover includes a transmission mechanism that transmits the torque of the turbine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2006−204781号公報JP 2006-204781 A

吸込口体は、電気掃除機の使用状態における可搬性、操作の容易性を考慮すると、その大きさおよび重さ(質量)に制約が生じる。この制約のため、回転清掃体の原動機であるタービンおよび電動機は、その体積(占有容積)や重さが制限される。   Considering the portability of the vacuum cleaner in use and the ease of operation, the suction port body is restricted in its size and weight (mass). Due to this restriction, the volume (occupied volume) and weight of the turbine and electric motor that are the prime movers of the rotary cleaning body are limited.

そこで、特許文献1の吸込口体は、タービンの出力を極力大きく得るため、タービンの回転軸を回転清掃体の回転軸に対して直交させて配置し、タービンの回転半径を極力大きく確保する。   Therefore, in order to obtain the turbine output as large as possible, the suction port body of Patent Document 1 is arranged with the rotating shaft of the turbine orthogonal to the rotating shaft of the rotary cleaning body to ensure the rotational radius of the turbine as large as possible.

しかしながら、特許文献1の吸込口体は、タービンから回転清掃体にトルクを伝達するため、複数の歯車からなる減速機構や、複数のタイミングベルト、かさ歯車などの機構からなる伝達機構を必要とする。この伝達機構は、摩擦部分や摺動部分が多く、機械的損失が大きくなる。   However, since the suction port body of Patent Document 1 transmits torque from the turbine to the rotary cleaning body, it requires a transmission mechanism consisting of a speed reduction mechanism consisting of a plurality of gears and a mechanism such as a plurality of timing belts and bevel gears. . This transmission mechanism has many frictional portions and sliding portions, and increases mechanical loss.

また、タービンを原動機とする回転清掃体を備えた吸込口体は、電動送風機の吸引力の一部を流用してタービンを駆動させるため、電気掃除機の吸込仕事率を低下させない範囲で十分なトルクを得ることが難しい。例えば、タービンを原動機とする回転清掃体を備えた吸込口体は、カーペットが敷かれた被掃除面において、回転清掃体を駆動させることが困難な場合がある。   Moreover, since the suction port body provided with the rotary cleaning body which uses a turbine as a prime mover drives the turbine by using a part of the suction force of the electric blower, it is sufficient in a range that does not reduce the suction work rate of the vacuum cleaner. It is difficult to obtain torque. For example, in a suction port body including a rotary cleaning body that uses a turbine as a prime mover, it may be difficult to drive the rotary cleaning body on a surface to be cleaned on which a carpet is laid.

そこで、本発明は、タービンを原動機とする回転清掃体を備え、電気掃除機の吸込仕事率を低下させることなく、回転清掃体を高トルクで駆動可能な回転清掃体ユニット、吸込口体および電気掃除機を提案する。   Therefore, the present invention includes a rotary cleaning body having a turbine as a prime mover and capable of driving the rotary cleaning body with a high torque without reducing the suction work rate of the electric vacuum cleaner, a suction port body, and an electric Suggest a vacuum cleaner.

次に、本実施形態に係る電気掃除機1の動作を説明する。   Next, operation | movement of the vacuum cleaner 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

電気掃除機1のユーザは、先ず、掃除機本体2に管部3、すなわち集塵ホース21と延長管25と吸込口体26とを適宜の順序で接続する。   The user of the electric vacuum cleaner 1 first connects the pipe portion 3, that is, the dust collecting hose 21, the extension pipe 25, and the suction port body 26 to the vacuum cleaner body 2 in an appropriate order.

次に、掃除機本体2から電源コード11を引き出し、商用電源を供給するコンセント(図示省略)に電源プラグ14を接続する。   Next, the power cord 11 is pulled out from the cleaner body 2, and the power plug 14 is connected to an outlet (not shown) for supplying commercial power.

次に、電気掃除機1のユーザは、把持部23を把持して起動スイッチ24bを操作する。   Next, the user of the vacuum cleaner 1 holds the holding part 23 and operates the start switch 24b.

そうすると、制御部9は、起動スイッチ24bで設定された動作モードに従い電動送風機8を駆動させる。電動送風機8の駆動によって掃除機本体2と管部3とに負圧が生じ、電気掃除機1は吸込口体26の吸気口38および塵埃吸込口39から空気を吸い込む。   Then, the control unit 9 drives the electric blower 8 according to the operation mode set by the start switch 24b. By driving the electric blower 8, a negative pressure is generated in the vacuum cleaner main body 2 and the pipe portion 3, and the vacuum cleaner 1 sucks air from the suction port 38 and the dust suction port 39 of the suction port body 26.

次いで、電気掃除機1のユーザは、吸込口体26を被掃除面に配置し、把持部23を把持したまま手元操作管22および延長管25を前後に往復動させる。   Next, the user of the vacuum cleaner 1 places the suction port body 26 on the surface to be cleaned, and reciprocates the hand operation tube 22 and the extension tube 25 back and forth while holding the grip portion 23.

そうすると、吸込口体26は、被掃除面上を前後に往復走行しつつ被掃除面の塵埃を空気とともに(含塵空気)、塵埃吸込口39から吸い込む。塵埃吸込口39から吸い込まれた含塵空気は、接続管32を通って掃除機本体2へと案内される。   Then, the suction port body 26 sucks dust on the surface to be cleaned together with air (dust-containing air) from the dust suction port 39 while reciprocating back and forth on the surface to be cleaned. Dust-containing air sucked from the dust suction port 39 is guided to the cleaner body 2 through the connection pipe 32.

このとき、吸込口体26は、吸気口38からも空気を吸い込む。吸気口38から吸い込まれた空気は、タービン41、41Aの案内翼部46によって動翼部47に導かれ、動翼部47を回転させつつ通り過ぎ、吸込室36内で塵埃吸込口39から吸い込まれた含塵空気と合流し、接続管32に至る。動翼部47の回転は、タービンシャフト42を介して遊星歯車機構43に入力され回転清掃体44を駆動させる。この回転清掃体44の駆動によって、吸込口体26は、被掃除面上の塵埃を掃き上げるとともに被掃除面を磨く。回転清掃体44によって掃き上げられた塵埃は、塵埃吸込口39から吸込口体26に吸い込まれる。このとき、補助吸気口60から吸込室36へ吸い込まれる空気Fの流れは、回転清掃体44の清掃体59に吹き付けられて回転清掃体44の回転を補助する。   At this time, the suction port body 26 also sucks air from the suction port 38. The air sucked from the intake port 38 is guided to the moving blade portion 47 by the guide blade portion 46 of the turbines 41 and 41A, passes through while rotating the moving blade portion 47, and is sucked from the dust suction port 39 in the suction chamber 36. It joins with the dust-containing air and reaches the connecting pipe 32. The rotation of the moving blade portion 47 is input to the planetary gear mechanism 43 via the turbine shaft 42 to drive the rotary cleaning body 44. By driving the rotary cleaning body 44, the suction port body 26 sweeps up dust on the surface to be cleaned and polishes the surface to be cleaned. The dust swept up by the rotary cleaning body 44 is sucked into the suction port body 26 from the dust suction port 39. At this time, the flow of the air F sucked into the suction chamber 36 from the auxiliary intake port 60 is blown to the cleaning body 59 of the rotary cleaning body 44 to assist the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 44.

吸込口体26に吸い込まれた含塵空気は、延長管25、手元操作管22および集塵ホース21を順次に通過した後、掃除機本体2に案内される。   The dust-containing air sucked into the suction port body 26 is guided to the cleaner body 2 after sequentially passing through the extension pipe 25, the hand operation pipe 22 and the dust collecting hose 21.

掃除機本体2に案内された含塵空気は、塵埃分離集塵部7に吸い込まれ塵埃と空気とに分離される。分離された塵埃は、塵埃分離集塵部7に捕集される。他方、分離された空気は、塵埃分離集塵部7を通過して電動送風機8に吸い込まれ、掃除機本体2から排気される。   The dust-containing air guided to the cleaner body 2 is sucked into the dust separation and collection unit 7 and separated into dust and air. The separated dust is collected by the dust separation and collection unit 7. On the other hand, the separated air passes through the dust separation and collection unit 7 and is sucked into the electric blower 8 and is exhausted from the cleaner body 2.

このようにして電気掃除機1は、吸込口体26から吸い込んだ塵埃を捕集する。   Thus, the vacuum cleaner 1 collects the dust sucked from the suction port body 26.

本実施形態に係る回転清掃体ユニット33、33A、吸込口体26および電気掃除機1は、回転清掃体44の回転径とタービン41、41Aの直径を同程度に構成して、タービン41、41A(より詳しくは動翼部47)とタービンシャフト42と太陽歯車51の回転中心である駆動軸、遊星歯車52の公転中心(すなわちキャリア54の回転中心)である従動軸、および回転清掃体44の回転中心を略同一直線上(回転軸C)に配置させることが可能になり、タービン41、41Aから回転清掃体44にトルクを伝達する際に摩擦や摺動による機械的損失を生じる要素を極力少なくすることができる。具体的には、この機械的損失は、ほぼ遊星歯車機構43の機械的損失に依存することとなり、回転清掃体44を駆動させる機構全体の損失の低減を容易に図ることができる。   The rotary cleaning body units 33 and 33A, the suction port body 26, and the electric vacuum cleaner 1 according to the present embodiment are configured so that the rotational diameter of the rotary cleaning body 44 and the diameter of the turbines 41 and 41A are approximately the same, and the turbines 41 and 41A are configured. (More specifically, the rotor blade portion 47), the drive shaft that is the rotation center of the turbine shaft 42 and the sun gear 51, the driven shaft that is the revolution center of the planetary gear 52 (that is, the rotation center of the carrier 54), and the rotary cleaning body 44 It becomes possible to arrange the rotation centers on substantially the same straight line (rotation axis C), and elements that cause mechanical loss due to friction or sliding when transmitting torque from the turbines 41 and 41A to the rotary cleaning body 44 as much as possible. Can be reduced. Specifically, this mechanical loss substantially depends on the mechanical loss of the planetary gear mechanism 43, and the loss of the entire mechanism for driving the rotary cleaning body 44 can be easily reduced.

また、本実施形態に係る回転清掃体ユニット33、33A、吸込口体26および電気掃除機1は、タービン41、41Aが発生させるトルクが回転清掃体44を直接駆動させるには足りない場合であっても、同容量(容積)に組み込み可能な平歯車やかさ歯車からなる減速機に比べて比較的に大きい減速比を有する遊星歯車機構43を備えるため、カーペットが敷かれた摩擦係数の高い被掃除面においても回転清掃体44を確実に駆動可能なトルクを得ることができる。   Further, the rotary cleaning body units 33 and 33A, the suction port body 26, and the electric vacuum cleaner 1 according to the present embodiment are cases where the torque generated by the turbines 41 and 41A is not sufficient to directly drive the rotary cleaning body 44. However, since the planetary gear mechanism 43 having a relatively large reduction ratio as compared with a reduction gear composed of a spur gear or a bevel gear that can be incorporated in the same capacity (volume) is provided, the carpet is laid and the cleaning coefficient is high. Also on the surface, a torque that can reliably drive the rotary cleaning body 44 can be obtained.

さらに、本実施形態に係る回転清掃体ユニット33Aは、当該ユニットを一つのモジュールとする取り扱いの利便性および吸込口体26の組立性を向上させる。   Furthermore, the rotary cleaning body unit 33 </ b> A according to the present embodiment improves convenience in handling the unit as one module and assembly of the suction port body 26.

したがって、本実施形態に係る電気掃除機1、吸込口体26および回転清掃体ユニット33、33Aによれば、タービン41、41Aを原動機とする回転清掃体44を備え、電気掃除機1の吸込仕事率を低下させることなく、回転清掃体44を高トルクで駆動できる。   Therefore, according to the vacuum cleaner 1, the suction port body 26, and the rotary cleaning body units 33 and 33A according to the present embodiment, the rotary cleaner 44 having the turbines 41 and 41A as a prime mover is provided, and the suction work of the vacuum cleaner 1 is performed. The rotary cleaning body 44 can be driven with high torque without reducing the rate.
