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、その配設位置というのは、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、また、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 ones that use dust collection boxes. When using dust collection bags, in order to maintain airtightness, When adopting a dust collection box, from the viewpoint of improving the appearance, a cover body that covers the upper side of each dust collection body is provided, and the cover body is not completely closed when the dust collection body is not installed. In order to prevent inconvenience that dust is directly sucked into the electric blower in such a state, a non-mounting prevention means is usually provided, and the arrangement position is that a dust collecting bag is adopted as the dust collecting body. In such a case, it is arranged so that the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means can be operated at the wick of the dust bag, and when a dust collection box is adopted as the dust collector, the same configuration is adopted. , Arranged so that the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means can be operated on the front wall of the dust collection box The ones were many (e.g., see Patent Document 1).

特開平11−33509号公報JP 11-33509 A

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、その場合には、他の場所で集塵ボックスを凹ますなどして、空間を確保しながら未装着防止手段を配設する必要があり、配設場所を、集塵ボックスの側方に構成する場合、通常のカバー体は、電気掃除機の幅方向断面形状が略U字状となっており、略U字状のカバー体の側方縁の近傍を未装着防止手段の操作体と当接させ完全に閉まるのを防止することになるが、略U字状のカバー体の側方縁近傍は、剛性が低く外に広がり易いため、集塵ボックスが未装着状態で、カバー体を強い力で押さえつけた場合には、カバー体の側方縁近傍が、未装着防止手段の操作体の外側に外れてロックが解除され、集塵体ボックスが未装着の状態で、カバー体が閉まってしまい、その状態で使用者が掃除を開始すると、電動送風機内部に塵埃が入り込み、故障を引き起こしてしまうという課題を有していた。   However, in the configuration of the conventional vacuum cleaner, when there is a constraint condition such as the use of a common part in order to reduce the design and manufacturing cost for improving the appearance, the non-mounting prevention means is provided in front of the dust collector. There is a problem that the operating body cannot be operated. In such a case, it is necessary to dispose the dust collection box in another place, etc. Is formed on the side of the dust collection box, the normal cover body has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the vacuum cleaner, and is near the side edge of the substantially U-shaped cover body. Will prevent it from coming into contact with the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means to prevent it from being completely closed, but the vicinity of the side edge of the substantially U-shaped cover body is low in rigidity and easy to spread out. If the cover is pressed with a strong force when is not installed, -The side edge of the body is released outside the operating body of the non-mounting prevention means, the lock is released, and the cover body is closed when the dust box is not mounted. When cleaning is started, there is a problem that dust enters the electric blower and causes a failure.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、未装着防止手段を略U字状のカバー体の側方縁の近傍に配設した場合にも、確実に集塵体の未装着を防止することができる電気掃除機を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and reliably prevents the dust collector from being attached even when the non-attachment preventing means is disposed in the vicinity of the side edge of the substantially U-shaped cover body. An object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner that can be used.

第1の発明は、集塵体と、前記集塵体の上方を覆う断面略U字状のカバー体と、前記カバー体の側方縁近傍に配設され、前記集塵体が未装着時に前記カバー体が完全には閉まらないようにするための未装着防止手段を備え、前記未装着防止手段の前記カバー体が当接するカバー体当接部に、前記側方縁が外方に開くのを防止する開き防止手段を設けたもので、集塵体未装着状態で剛性の低い略U字状のカバー体の側方縁近傍を未装着防止手段のカバー体当接部に当接させカバー体の閉まりを防止している状態で、カバー体が強い力で押さえ付けられた場合にも、カバー体の側方縁が未装着防止手段の外側に外れてロックが解除してしまうことを防止することが可能となり、未装着防止手段の信頼性を向上させることが出来る。   A first invention is provided with a dust collector, a cover body having a substantially U-shaped cross section that covers the upper side of the dust collector, and a side edge of the cover body, and when the dust collector is not mounted. Non-mounting prevention means for preventing the cover body from being completely closed, and the side edge of the non-mounting prevention means that opens to the cover body contact portion with which the cover body contacts. Is provided with anti-opening means to prevent the cover from coming into contact with the cover body contact portion of the non-mounting prevention means in the vicinity of the side edge of the substantially U-shaped cover body with low rigidity when the dust collector is not attached. Even when the cover body is pressed down with a strong force while preventing the body from closing, the side edge of the cover body is prevented from coming off the non-mounting prevention means and unlocking is prevented. It is possible to improve the reliability of the non-mounting prevention means.

また、掃除機本体のカバー体の側方縁の外側に開き防止手段を設けてしまうと、常に外部から見えてしまい外観性を損なってしまうが、集塵体未装着時には、カバー体内部に収納される未装着防止手段に開き防止手段を設けることで、例えカバー体が透明材で形成された場合にも、カバー体が閉まっている通常状態では、開き防止手段を目視し難い状態とすることが可能となり、外観性をも向上させることが出来る。   In addition, if an opening prevention means is provided outside the side edge of the cover body of the vacuum cleaner body, it will always be visible from the outside and the appearance will be impaired, but when the dust collector is not installed, it will be stored inside the cover body. By providing an opening prevention means to the non-attachment prevention means, even if the cover body is formed of a transparent material, the opening prevention means should be in a state that is difficult to see in the normal state where the cover body is closed. It is possible to improve the appearance.

第2の発明は、特に、第1の発明の開き防止手段として、カバー体当接部のカバー体の側方縁より外側に、前記側方縁が外方に開くのを防止する開き防止突部を設けたもので、開き防止突部で、カバー体の側方縁の開きを防止することで、集塵体未装着状態でカバー体が強い力で押さえつけられた場合にも、カバー体の側方縁が未装着防止手段の外側に外れてロックが解除されてしまうことを防止することが可能となり、未装着防止手段の信頼性を向上させることが出来る。   The second invention is an opening prevention protrusion for preventing the side edge from opening outwardly from the side edge of the cover body of the cover body contact portion, particularly as the opening prevention means of the first invention. Even if the cover body is pressed down with a strong force when the dust collector is not installed, the opening prevention protrusion prevents the side edge of the cover body from opening. It is possible to prevent the side edges from being released to the outside of the non-mounting prevention means and releasing the lock, and the reliability of the non-mounting prevention means can be improved.

また、比較的強度があるカバー体の側方縁を当てることで、比較的強い力がかかった場合にも、側方縁が破損することはないので、未装着防止手段の信頼性が低下するのを防止出来る。   In addition, by applying a relatively strong side edge of the cover body, even when a relatively strong force is applied, the side edge will not be damaged, so the reliability of the non-mounting prevention means is lowered. Can be prevented.

第3の発明は、特に、第1の発明の開き防止手段として、カバー体当接部に外側上がりの傾斜面を設けると共に、カバー体の未装着防止手段が当接する当接部に、前記傾斜面と対向する傾斜部を設けたもので、傾斜面と傾斜部が当接した状態で、カバー体が押さえつけられた時には、カバー体の側方縁を内側に撓ませる力が発生し、カバー体の側方縁が操作体の外側に外れてロックが解除されてしまうことを防止することが可能となり、未装着防止手段の信頼性を向上させることが出来る。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in particular, as the opening preventing means of the first invention, the cover body abutting portion is provided with an inclined surface that rises outward and the abutting portion with which the cover body non-mounting preventing means abuts is provided with the inclination. When the cover body is pressed with the inclined surface and the inclined portion in contact with each other, a force that deflects the side edge of the cover body inward is generated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the side edge from being released to the outside of the operating body and releasing the lock, thereby improving the reliability of the non-mounting prevention means.

また、傾斜面と傾斜部が当接することで、操作体とカバー体の接触面積を稼ぐことが可能となり、比較的強い力がかかった場合にも側方縁は破損することはないので、未装着防止手段の信頼性が低下するのを防止出来る。   In addition, the contact between the inclined surface and the inclined portion makes it possible to increase the contact area between the operating body and the cover body, and the side edges are not damaged even when a relatively strong force is applied. It is possible to prevent the reliability of the mounting preventing means from being lowered.
