Abstract
Description
本発明は、電気掃除機に関するもので、特に、電気掃除機の集塵ボックスの未装着防止手段に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a means for preventing unattachment of a dust collection box of a vacuum cleaner.
従来の電気掃除機の集塵体は、集塵袋を採用しているものが主流であった。しかしながら、このような構成の集塵体は、塵埃が一杯になる度、新しい集塵体に交換する必要があり、購入費用が発生するという課題があった。 As for the dust collector of the conventional vacuum cleaner, the one using a dust bag is the mainstream. However, the dust collector having such a configuration needs to be replaced with a new dust collector every time the dust is full, and there is a problem that a purchase cost is generated.
このような背景から、近年、集塵袋の購入費用を抑えたいというニーズから、集塵体として集塵ボックスを採用したものが多く出回るようになった。このように、集塵体には、集塵袋を採用するものと、集塵ボックスを採用するものが出回っているが、集塵袋を採用する場合には、気密性を保つために、また、集塵ボックスを採用する場合には外観性向上の観点から、それぞれ集塵体の上方を覆うカバー体が設けられており、そのカバー体は、集塵体が未装着時には完全には閉まらず、その状態で掃除され塵埃が直接的に電動送風機に吸引され不具合が出ないよう、通常、未装着防止手段が配設されており、その配設位置は、集塵体に集塵袋を採用する場合には、集塵袋の口芯で未装着防止手段の操作体を操作可能とするよう配設されており、集塵体に集塵ボックスを採用する場合には、同様な構成として、集塵ボックスの前壁で未装着防止手段の操作体を操作可能とするよう配設されるものが多かった(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Against this background, in recent years, many people have adopted a dust collection box as a dust collector due to the need to reduce the cost of purchasing dust collection bags. In this way, there are two types of dust collectors that use dust collection bags and those that use dust collection boxes. However, when dust collection bags are used, in order to maintain airtightness, When using a dust collection box, from the viewpoint of improving the appearance, a cover body is provided to cover the top of each dust collection body, and the cover body does not close completely when the dust collection body is not installed. In order to prevent problems caused by the dust being directly sucked into the electric blower in this state, non-mounting prevention means are usually installed, and the location is a dust collection bag. If the dust collector bag is arranged so that the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means can be operated at the wick of the dust bag, and if a dust collection box is adopted as the dust collector, It is arranged so that the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means can be operated on the front wall of the dust collection box. There were many (e.g., see Patent Document 1).
しかしながら、前記従来の電気掃除機の構成では、外観性向上のためのデザイン、製造コストを下げるための共用部品の採用等の制約条件がある場合には、集塵体の前方で未装着防止手段の操作体を操作出来ないという課題があり、また、特に集塵体に集塵ボックスを採用する場合には、ゴミ捨て回数を減らすために集塵容積の確保、目詰まりを減らすための吸込気流の旋回性確保の観点から、集塵ボックスを極力凹凸なく大きくする必要から、未装着防止手段の配設スペースを確保することが困難になるという課題を有していた。 However, in the configuration of the conventional vacuum cleaner, when there are constraints such as the design for improving the appearance and the use of common parts for reducing the manufacturing cost, the non-mounting prevention means is provided in front of the dust collector. In particular, when a dust collection box is used for the dust collector, it is necessary to secure a dust collection volume in order to reduce the number of times the dust is thrown away, and a suction airflow to reduce clogging. From the viewpoint of securing the swirlability, it is necessary to make the dust collection box as large as possible without unevenness, and there is a problem that it is difficult to secure an installation space for the non-mounting prevention means.
また、集塵体に集塵集ボックスを採用する場合には、ゴミの溜り具合を外部から確認出来るよう、集塵ボックスの上方を覆うカバー体を透明材で形成する場合が多く、その場合には、集塵ボックスの外郭の突起物等が外部から目視可能となり、色々な箇所に突起物があると、外観性が低下してしまうという課題も有していた。 In addition, when a dust collection box is adopted as the dust collection body, a cover body that covers the upper side of the dust collection box is often formed of a transparent material so that the amount of dust can be confirmed from the outside. Has a problem in that the external projections and the like of the dust collection box can be visually observed from the outside, and if there are projections in various places, the appearance deteriorates.
本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、スペースを有効利用しながら未装着防止手段を配設可能とすることで、集塵ボックスを極力凹凸なく大きくし、集塵ボックスの集塵容積と吸込気流の旋回性を確保し、使い勝手を向上させると共に、集塵ボックスの外郭の突起物を集約することで、外観性も向上した電気掃除機を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by making it possible to dispose the non-mounting prevention means while effectively using the space, the dust collection box is made as large as possible without unevenness, and the dust collection volume of the dust collection box The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner with improved appearance by securing the swirlability of the suction airflow, improving usability, and consolidating the protrusions on the outer shell of the dust collection box.

In order to solve the conventional problem, an electric vacuum cleaner of the present invention includes a dust collection box, a cover body that covers the dust collection box, a maintenance brush for cleaning the inside of the dust collection box, A maintenance brush storage section for storing the maintenance brush outside the dust collection box, and a non-mounting prevention means for preventing the cover body from being completely closed when the dust collection box is not mounted on the vacuum cleaner body, The non-mounting prevention means is disposed at a position facing the maintenance brush storage portion, and the operation body of the non-mounting prevention means can be operated by the maintenance brush storage portion. When a maintenance brush is attached to a box, it is necessary to install the storage part, and at least there is a space for forming the storage part. While the space between the vacuum cleaner body and the dust collection box is effectively utilized, the operation body of the non-mounting prevention means is disposed on the vacuum cleaner body in the space, and the operation body is the dust collection box. By forming the operation body and the maintenance brush storage part in a positional relationship that allows the maintenance brush to be engaged with the attachment / detachment operation, the dust collection box forms an extra protrusion other than the maintenance brush storage part. It is not necessary to operate the non-mounting prevention means, the dust collection box can be enlarged as much as possible without unevenness, the dust collection volume of the dust collection box and the swirlability of the suction airflow can be secured, the usability can be improved, and the dust collection Appearance can be improved by consolidating the protrusions on the outer shell of the box.

以上のように構成された本実施の形態における電気掃除機について、その動作、作用を説明する。 About the vacuum cleaner in this Embodiment comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated.
まず、掃除機本体1が運転状態になると、電動送風機からの吸引力により、床面の塵埃が吸込口体、延長管、ホースを介して集塵ボックス3に吸引される。集塵ボックス3内に塵埃が一杯になった時には、使用者は、集塵ボックス3内の塵埃を捨てるため、カバー体5を開け、集塵ボックス3を外部に取り出す。 First, when the cleaner body 1 is in an operating state, dust on the floor is sucked into the dust collection box 3 through the suction port, the extension pipe, and the hose by the suction force from the electric blower. When the dust box 3 is full of dust, the user opens the cover 5 and takes out the dust box 3 to the outside in order to throw away the dust in the dust box 3.
その時に、操作体7は、集塵ボックス3の離脱動作に連動してメンテナンスブラシ収納部9の上方支持部11、側面13、底面12、下方支持部14に擦れながら引掛かりなくカバー体5の操作体当接部15の外側まで回動すると共に、集塵ボックス3も引掛かりなく離脱することが出来る。 At that time, the operating body 7 rubs against the upper support portion 11, the side surface 13, the bottom surface 12, and the lower support portion 14 of the maintenance brush storage portion 9 in conjunction with the detaching operation of the dust collection box 3 and does not catch the cover body 5. While rotating to the outside of the operating body contact portion 15, the dust collection box 3 can be detached without being caught.
ゴミ捨て作業が終了し、使用者が掃除を再開しようとしても、集塵ボックス3が未装着では、未装着防止手段の操作体7が、カバー体5の操作体当接部15より外側まで回動しているので、カバー体5を完全に閉めることが出来ず、その時点で、使用者は集塵ボックス3の未装着を認識し、集塵ボックス3を装着することになる。 Even if the dust disposal operation is finished and the user tries to resume cleaning, if the dust collection box 3 is not mounted, the operating body 7 of the non-mounting preventing means rotates to the outside of the operating body contact portion 15 of the cover body 5. Since it is moving, the cover body 5 cannot be completely closed, and at that time, the user recognizes that the dust collection box 3 is not installed and attaches the dust collection box 3.
集塵ボックス3の装着時には、メンテナンスブラシ収納部9の底面12、側面13を介して上方支持部11が、操作体7をカバー体5の操作体当接部15の内側まで回動させることで、カバー体5を完全に閉めることができ、掃除が再開出来る状態となる。 When the dust collection box 3 is mounted, the upper support portion 11 rotates the operation body 7 to the inside of the operation body contact portion 15 of the cover body 5 through the bottom surface 12 and the side surface 13 of the maintenance brush storage portion 9. The cover body 5 can be completely closed and cleaning can be resumed.
以上のように、本実施の形態1においては、メンテナンスブラシ収納部9の形成時に出来た空間内に、集塵ボックス3の未装着防止手段である操作体7を機能可能に配設してい
るので、集塵ボックス3は、メンテナンスブラシ収納部9以外の余分な突起物を形成して未装着防止手段を操作する必要がなく、集塵ボックス3を極力凹凸なく大きくすることが可能となり、集塵ボックス3の集塵容積と吸込気流の旋回性を確保し、使い勝手が向上すると共に、集塵ボックス3の外郭の突起物を集約することで、カバー体5が透明材で形成されている場合においても、外観性をも向上させることが出来る。
As described above, in the first embodiment, the operation body 7 that is a means for preventing the dust collection box 3 from being unmounted is provided in a functionable manner in the space formed when the maintenance brush storage unit 9 is formed. Therefore, the dust collection box 3 does not need to form an extra protrusion other than the maintenance brush storage portion 9 and operates the non-mounting prevention means, and the dust collection box 3 can be enlarged as much as possible without unevenness. When the cover body 5 is formed of a transparent material by securing the dust collection volume of the dust box 3 and the swirlability of the suction airflow, improving usability, and consolidating the outer projections of the dust collection box 3 Also, the appearance can be improved.
また、本実施の形態では、未装着防止手段の操作体7を操作するため、メンテナンスブラシ収納部9を、掃除機本体1の側面上端より下方に配設することになり、メンテナンスブラシ収納部9自体の凹凸も外部から見え難くすることが可能となり、外観性がさらに向上出来ている。 Further, in this embodiment, in order to operate the operating body 7 of the non-mounting prevention means, the maintenance brush storage portion 9 is disposed below the upper end of the side surface of the cleaner body 1. The unevenness of itself can be made difficult to see from the outside, and the appearance is further improved.
以上のように、本発明にかかる電気掃除機は、電気掃除機本体を大型化することなく、使い勝手と外観性を確保し、集塵体の未装着防止手段を構成出来るので、家庭用、業務用の各種電気掃除機に有用である。 As described above, the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention can be used for home use and business because it can ensure the usability and appearance without increasing the size of the main body of the vacuum cleaner, and can constitute a means for preventing the unattachment of the dust collector.
