上記スティック型掃除機によれば、吸込具の長手方向が本体の長手方向に沿う状態のとき、スティック型掃除機の正面視における幅方向の寸法が短くなる。このため、スティック型掃除機をより狭い空間に収容できる。また、その状態において吸込具の回転をロックできるため、スティック型掃除機を収納するときの作業性が向上する。   According to the stick type vacuum cleaner, when the longitudinal direction of the suction tool is in a state along the longitudinal direction of the main body, the dimension in the width direction in the front view of the stick type vacuum cleaner is shortened. For this reason, a stick type vacuum cleaner can be accommodated in a narrower space. In addition, since the rotation of the suction tool can be locked in this state, workability when storing the stick type vacuum cleaner is improved.

〔２〕前記スティック型掃除機の一例によれば、前記吸込具の長手方向が前記本体の長手方向に沿う状態において、前記吸込具の高さが前記本体の最大幅と同じ、または、前記最大幅よりも狭い。   [2] According to an example of the stick type vacuum cleaner, in a state where the longitudinal direction of the suction tool is along the longitudinal direction of the main body, the height of the suction tool is equal to the maximum width of the main body, or the Narrower than significantly.

〔３〕前記スティック型掃除機の一例によれば、前記回転構造は、前記吸込具の高さ方向および前記吸込具の長手方向と直交する第１の軸まわりで前記吸込具を回転させる第１の回転構造、および、前記本体の正面視において前記本体の長手方向と直交する第２の軸まわりで前記吸込具を回転させる第２の回転構造を含む。   [3] According to an example of the stick type vacuum cleaner, the rotating structure rotates the suction tool around a first axis perpendicular to the height direction of the suction tool and the longitudinal direction of the suction tool. And a second rotating structure for rotating the suction tool around a second axis orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body in a front view of the main body.

〔４〕前記スティック型掃除機の一例によれば、前記吸込具の長手方向が前記第２の軸に沿う状態が第１の状態であり、前記吸込具の長手方向が前記第２の軸に直交する状態が第２の状態である場合において、前記第１の状態を基準とした前記吸込具の回転角度が所定の角度未満のとき、前記吸込具の回転位置が前記第１の状態における回転位置に近づくように前記吸込具に力を与え、前記吸込具の回転角度が前記所定の角度以上のとき、前記吸込具の回転位置が前記第２の状態における回転位置に近づくように前記吸込具に力を与える回転制御部をさらに備える。   [4] According to an example of the stick type vacuum cleaner, the state in which the longitudinal direction of the suction tool is along the second axis is the first state, and the longitudinal direction of the suction tool is in the second axis. When the orthogonal state is the second state, when the rotation angle of the suction tool with respect to the first state is less than a predetermined angle, the rotation position of the suction tool is the rotation in the first state. Applying a force to the suction tool so as to approach the position, and when the rotation angle of the suction tool is equal to or greater than the predetermined angle, the suction tool so that the rotation position of the suction tool approaches the rotation position in the second state And a rotation control unit that applies force to the motor.

The dust collection unit 80 is a centrifugal dust collector, and separates dust and air sucked by the suction unit 70. The dust box 90 accommodates the dust compressed by the dust collection unit 80. The battery unit 100 supplies power to the suction blower unit 20 and the electric blower 72 of the suction unit 70.

図２に示される掃除機１の正面視において、掃除機１の縦方向ＺＡと直交する方向は掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢである。ハウジング１１および延長管６０の幅方向ＺＢの寸法はおおよそ等しい。吸引ユニット７０、集塵ユニット８０、ダストボックス９０、および、電池ユニット１００の幅方向ＺＢの寸法はおおよそ等しく、ハウジング１１および延長管６０の幅方向ＺＢの寸法よりも大きい。   In the front view of the cleaner 1 shown in FIG. 2, the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction ZA of the cleaner 1 is the width direction ZB of the cleaner 1. The dimensions of the housing 11 and the extension pipe 60 in the width direction ZB are approximately equal. The dimensions of the suction unit 70, the dust collection unit 80, the dust box 90, and the battery unit 100 in the width direction ZB are approximately equal and larger than the dimensions of the housing 11 and the extension pipe 60 in the width direction ZB.

図２〜図６を参照して、吸込具ユニット２０の構成について説明する。
図３および図４に示されるように、吸込具ユニット２０は、吸込具３０および連結管４０を備えている。吸込具３０は、ケース３１、シャッター３２、回転ブラシ３３、および、ローラー３４を備えている。図２に示されるように、吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤの寸法は、本体１０の最大幅である吸引ユニット７０、集塵ユニット８０、ダストボックス９０、および、電池ユニット１００の幅方向ＺＢの寸法よりも大きい。 With reference to FIGS. 2-6, the structure of the suction tool unit 20 is demonstrated.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the suction tool unit 20 includes a suction tool 30 and a connecting pipe 40. The suction tool 30 includes a case 31, a shutter 32, a rotating brush 33, and a roller 34. As shown in FIG. 2, the dimension of the suction tool 30 in the longitudinal direction ZD is larger than the dimensions of the suction unit 70, the dust collection unit 80, the dust box 90, and the battery unit 100 in the width direction ZB. Is also big.

図４に示されるように、ケース３１は、底面３１Ｐに開口する吸込口３１Ｑを備えている。回転ブラシ３３は、吸込口３１Ｑに配置されている。シャッター３２は、ケース３１における前方側の部分に設けられ、ケース３１に対して移動することにより、前方側の部分を開放または閉鎖する。ケース３１における前方側の部分が開放されることにより、吸込口３１Ｑがケース３１の前方側にも開口する。ローラー３４は、吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤに回転できるようにシャッター３２の前面に設けられている。ローラー３４が壁または床面等に接触した状態において、吸込具３０が幅方向ＺＢに移動するとき、ローラー３４の回転により吸込具３０がスムーズに移動できる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the case 31 includes a suction port 31Q that opens to the bottom surface 31P. The rotating brush 33 is disposed in the suction port 31Q. The shutter 32 is provided in a front portion of the case 31 and moves relative to the case 31 to open or close the front portion. By opening the front portion of the case 31, the suction port 31 </ b> Q opens to the front side of the case 31. The roller 34 is provided on the front surface of the shutter 32 so that it can rotate in the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30. When the suction tool 30 moves in the width direction ZB in a state where the roller 34 is in contact with the wall or the floor surface, the suction tool 30 can be smoothly moved by the rotation of the roller 34.

回転ブラシ３３は、基材３３ａ、複数の第１の毛ブラシ３３ｂ、および、複数の第２の毛ブラシ３３ｃを備えている。基材３３ａは、ケース３１に対する回転が可能な状態でケース３１により支持されている。複数の第１の毛ブラシ３３ｂおよび複数の第２の毛ブラシ３３ｃは、基材３３ａの外周において周方向に交互に植えられている。第１の毛ブラシ３３ｂは、基材３３ａの長手方向において隙間が形成されないように基材３３ａに植えられている。１つの第２の毛ブラシ３３ｃは、基材３３ａの長手方向に一定の間隔を置いて植えられた複数の単位ブラシ３３ｄを含む。隣り合う単位ブラシ３３ｄの間には、空気がスムーズに流れることが可能な隙間３３ｅが形成されている。このため、シャッター３２が開かれた状態において、ケース３１の前方の空気が隙間３３ｅを介してケース３１内に流れ込む。隙間３３ｅが形成されていない場合よりも空気の流れに対する抵抗が小さいため、吸込具ユニット２０の吸引力が高められる。   The rotating brush 33 includes a base material 33a, a plurality of first bristle brushes 33b, and a plurality of second bristle brushes 33c. The base material 33a is supported by the case 31 in a state where it can rotate with respect to the case 31. The plurality of first bristle brushes 33b and the plurality of second bristle brushes 33c are planted alternately in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the base material 33a. The 1st bristle brush 33b is planted by the base material 33a so that a clearance gap may not be formed in the longitudinal direction of the base material 33a. One second bristle brush 33c includes a plurality of unit brushes 33d planted at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 33a. A gap 33e through which air can flow smoothly is formed between the adjacent unit brushes 33d. For this reason, in the state where the shutter 32 is opened, the air in front of the case 31 flows into the case 31 through the gap 33e. Since the resistance to the air flow is smaller than when the gap 33e is not formed, the suction force of the suction tool unit 20 is increased.

連結管４０は延長管６０（図２参照）と連結される。吸込具３０は連結管４０の回転中心軸である第１の軸ＪＸ１まわりで連結管４０に対して回転可能である。掃除機１は吸込具３０の回転に応じて複数の形態を取り得る。複数の形態は、例えば次の第１の形態、第２の形態、および、第３の形態を含む。   The connecting pipe 40 is connected to the extension pipe 60 (see FIG. 2). The suction tool 30 is rotatable with respect to the connection tube 40 around a first axis JX1 that is a rotation center axis of the connection tube 40. The vacuum cleaner 1 can take a plurality of forms according to the rotation of the suction tool 30. The plurality of forms include, for example, the following first form, second form, and third form.

第１の形態は、床面ＦＬの清掃に用いられる形態であり、吸込具３０が第１の状態を取る形態である。吸込具３０の第１の状態は、図２に示されるように吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢと平行な状態である。第２の形態は、掃除機１の形態が第１の形態から第３の形態に変更される過程において経由する形態であり、吸込具３０が第２の状態を取る形態である。吸込具３０の第２の状態は、図１３に示されるように、掃除機１の側面視において吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが掃除機１の縦方向ＺＡに直交する状態である。第３の形態は、掃除機１がスタンド等の所定の収納場所に配置される場合に用いられる形態であり、吸込具３０が第３の状態を取る形態である。吸込具３０の第３の状態は、図１９に示されるように掃除機１の正面視において吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが本体１０の縦方向ＺＡに沿う状態である。なお、第２の形態は家具と家具との間のような狭い隙間の床面ＦＬの清掃に用いることもできる。   A 1st form is a form used for cleaning of the floor surface FL, and the suction tool 30 is a form which takes a 1st state. The first state of the suction tool 30 is a state in which the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is parallel to the width direction ZB of the cleaner 1 as shown in FIG. A 2nd form is a form which passes in the process in which the form of the vacuum cleaner 1 is changed from the 1st form to the 3rd form, and the suction tool 30 is a form which takes a 2nd state. As shown in FIG. 13, the second state of the suction tool 30 is a state in which the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction ZA of the vacuum cleaner 1 in a side view of the vacuum cleaner 1. A 3rd form is a form used when the cleaner 1 is arrange | positioned in predetermined storage places, such as a stand, and the suction tool 30 is a form which takes a 3rd state. The third state of the suction tool 30 is a state in which the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is along the longitudinal direction ZA of the main body 10 in the front view of the cleaner 1 as shown in FIG. The second embodiment can also be used for cleaning the floor surface FL having a narrow gap such as between furniture.

図５に示されるように、吸込具３０は、ノズルモーター３５および回転制御部３６をさらに備えている。ノズルモーター３５および回転制御部３６はケース３１内に収容されている。ノズルモーター３５は、電池ユニット１００（図１参照）から供給される電力により駆動し、回転ブラシ３３を回転させる。   As shown in FIG. 5, the suction tool 30 further includes a nozzle motor 35 and a rotation control unit 36. The nozzle motor 35 and the rotation control unit 36 are accommodated in the case 31. The nozzle motor 35 is driven by electric power supplied from the battery unit 100 (see FIG. 1), and rotates the rotating brush 33.

ケース３１は連通管３１ａおよび支持部３１ｂを備えている。連通管３１ａは、吸込口３１Ｑと連通するようにケース３１内に設けられている。支持部３１ｂは、連結管４０のうちのケース３１内に挿入されている部分を吸込具３０に対して回転できるように支持している。   The case 31 includes a communication pipe 31a and a support portion 31b. The communication pipe 31a is provided in the case 31 so as to communicate with the suction port 31Q. The support portion 31 b supports a portion of the connecting pipe 40 inserted into the case 31 so as to be rotatable with respect to the suction tool 30.

連結管４０は、第１の連結管４１、第２の連結管４２、および、規制部４３を備えている。第１の連結管４１はケース３１内に配置され、連通管３１ａと連結されている。第１の連結管４１の外周にはフランジ４１ａが設けられている。フランジ４１ａは支持部３１ｂに収容されている。第２の連結管４２は延長管６０（図１参照）に対する回転が不能な状態で延長管６０に接続されている。   The connecting pipe 40 includes a first connecting pipe 41, a second connecting pipe 42, and a restricting portion 43. The first connection pipe 41 is disposed in the case 31 and is connected to the communication pipe 31a. A flange 41 a is provided on the outer periphery of the first connecting pipe 41. The flange 41a is accommodated in the support portion 31b.

The connection portion 40X includes at least the second axis JX2 as the rotation center axis. The restricting portion 43 is attached to the case 31 and covers a part of the connecting portion 40X so that the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 cannot rotate around an axis other than the second axis JX2. . For this reason, the 1st connecting pipe 41 and the 2nd connecting pipe 42 rotate relatively only around the 2nd axis JX2.

吸込具ユニット２０は、吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが本体１０の縦方向ＺＡ（ともに図２参照）に沿うように吸込具３０を本体１０に対して回転させることができる回転構造Ｓをさらに備えている。回転構造Ｓは、吸込具３０を第１の軸ＪＸ１まわりで連結管４０に対して回転させるための第１の回転構造Ｓ１、および、吸込具３０を第２の軸ＪＸ２まわりで連結管４０に対して回転させるための第２の回転構造Ｓ２を含む。第２の回転構造Ｓ２は、第１の連結管４１と第２の連結管４２との接続部４０Ｘおよび規制部４３により構成されている。   The suction tool unit 20 further includes a rotating structure S that can rotate the suction tool 30 relative to the main body 10 so that the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is along the vertical direction ZA of the main body 10 (see FIG. 2 for both). ing. The rotation structure S includes a first rotation structure S1 for rotating the suction tool 30 relative to the connection pipe 40 around the first axis JX1, and a suction tool 30 connected to the connection pipe 40 around the second axis JX2. 2nd rotation structure S2 for rotating with respect to is included. The second rotating structure S <b> 2 includes a connecting portion 40 </ b> X and a restricting portion 43 between the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42.

第１の軸ＪＸ１は、吸込具３０の平面視において長手方向ＺＤに直交する直交方向ＺＥに沿う。一例では、第１の軸ＪＸ１の位置は吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤの中央、かつ、高さ方向ＺＦの中央である。第２の軸ＪＸ２は、本体１０の正面視（図２参照）において幅方向ＺＢに沿う。一例では、第２の軸ＪＸ２の位置は吸込具３０の高さ方向ＺＦの中央である。   The first axis JX1 is along the orthogonal direction ZE perpendicular to the longitudinal direction ZD in the plan view of the suction tool 30. In one example, the position of the first axis JX1 is the center in the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 and the center in the height direction ZF. The second axis JX2 is along the width direction ZB in the front view of the main body 10 (see FIG. 2). In one example, the position of the second axis JX2 is the center of the suction tool 30 in the height direction ZF.

連結管４０は、第１の連結管４１と第２の連結管４２との相対的な回転をロックするロック機構５０をさらに備えている。ロック機構５０は、第２の連結管４２に形成された突出部５１、および、規制部４３に形成された凸部５２を含む。ロック機構５０は、第１の連結管４１と第２の連結管４２との相対的な回転が可能なアンロック状態、および、第１の連結管４１と第２の連結管４２との相対的な回転が不能なロック状態を取り得る。   The connecting pipe 40 further includes a lock mechanism 50 that locks relative rotation between the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42. The lock mechanism 50 includes a protruding portion 51 formed on the second connecting pipe 42 and a convex portion 52 formed on the restricting portion 43. The lock mechanism 50 is in an unlocked state in which the first connection pipe 41 and the second connection pipe 42 can be rotated relative to each other, and the relative relationship between the first connection pipe 41 and the second connection pipe 42. It can be locked so that it cannot be rotated.

図６〜図８を参照して、第１の回転構造Ｓ１の詳細について説明する。
回転制御部３６は、第１の軸ＪＸ１まわりにおける連結管４０に対する吸込具３０の回転を制御する構造であり、ピストン３６ａおよび弾性部材３６ｂを備えている。ピストン３６ａは、ケース３１に対して長手方向ＺＤに移動可能な状態でケース３１内に配置され、フランジ４１ａと接触する。弾性部材３６ｂは、ピストン３６ａをフランジ４１ａに押し付ける力をピストン３６ａに付与できるようにケース３１内に配置されている。弾性部材３６ｂの一例は、コイルばねである。第１の連結管４１のフランジ４１ａの形状は四角形である。フランジ４１ａの四隅のうちの隣り合う２つの隅には、支持部３１ｂに向けて突出する突起４１ｂが形成されている。支持部３１ｂは、吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤにおいて第１の軸ＪＸ１に対してピストン３６ａとは反対側に設けられた円弧状の壁部３１ｃを含む。 With reference to FIGS. 6-8, the detail of 1st rotation structure S1 is demonstrated.
The rotation control unit 36 is configured to control the rotation of the suction tool 30 with respect to the connecting pipe 40 around the first axis JX1, and includes a piston 36a and an elastic member 36b. The piston 36a is disposed in the case 31 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction ZD with respect to the case 31, and contacts the flange 41a. The elastic member 36b is disposed in the case 31 so that a force for pressing the piston 36a against the flange 41a can be applied to the piston 36a. An example of the elastic member 36b is a coil spring. The shape of the flange 41a of the first connecting pipe 41 is a quadrangle. Protrusions 41b projecting toward the support portion 31b are formed at two adjacent corners of the four corners of the flange 41a. The support portion 31b includes an arcuate wall portion 31c provided on the opposite side of the piston 36a with respect to the first axis JX1 in the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30.

図６に示されるように、吸込具３０の状態が第１の状態である場合、ピストン３６ａの頂面の全体がフランジ４１ａの第１の側面４１ｄに押し付けられ、一方の突起４１ｂが支持部３１ｂの壁部３１ｃに押し付けられている。このため、フランジ４１ａとピストン３６ａおよび壁部３１ｃとの間に生じる摩擦力が、吸込具３０と第１の連結管４１とを相対的に回転させようとする力に対する抵抗として作用し、吸込具３０の状態が第１の状態に保たれやすい。   As shown in FIG. 6, when the state of the suction tool 30 is the first state, the entire top surface of the piston 36a is pressed against the first side surface 41d of the flange 41a, and one protrusion 41b is supported by the support portion 31b. Is pressed against the wall portion 31c. For this reason, the frictional force generated between the flange 41a, the piston 36a, and the wall portion 31c acts as a resistance to the force to rotate the suction tool 30 and the first connecting pipe 41 relatively, and the suction tool. The state of 30 is easily kept in the first state.

吸込具３０と第１の連結管４１とを相対的に回転させる大きな力が吸込具３０および連結管４０に加えられた場合、吸込具３０と連結管４０とが相対的に回転し、フランジ４１ａとピストン３６ａとの接触位置が変化する。吸込具３０の第１の状態を基準とした吸込具３０の回転角度（以下では単に「吸込具３０の回転角度」）が所定の角度未満の場合、回転制御部３６の弾性部材３６ｂの力は、吸込具３０の回転位置を第１の状態における回転位置に近づけるように作用する。このため、ユーザーが吸込具３０および連結管４０に回転力を加えていなくても吸込具３０の状態が第１の状態に戻る。図示される例では、所定の角度は４５°である。   When a large force that relatively rotates the suction tool 30 and the first connection pipe 41 is applied to the suction tool 30 and the connection pipe 40, the suction tool 30 and the connection pipe 40 rotate relatively, and the flange 41a. And the piston 36a contact position changes. When the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 based on the first state of the suction tool 30 (hereinafter simply “rotation angle of the suction tool 30”) is less than a predetermined angle, the force of the elastic member 36b of the rotation control unit 36 is The rotation position of the suction tool 30 acts so as to approach the rotation position in the first state. For this reason, even if the user does not apply rotational force to the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40, the state of the suction tool 30 returns to the first state. In the illustrated example, the predetermined angle is 45 °.

図７は、吸込具３０の回転角度が所定の角度に到達した状態を示している。このとき、ピストン３６ａがフランジ４１ａの頂部４１ｅとの接触により、弾性部材３６ｂ側に最も押し込められている。この状態から吸込具３０の回転角度がさらに増加するように吸込具３０と連結管４０とが相対的に回転することにより、ピストン３６ａの頂面がフランジ４１ａの第２の側面４１ｆと接触する。   FIG. 7 shows a state where the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 has reached a predetermined angle. At this time, the piston 36a is pushed most into the elastic member 36b side by contact with the top 41e of the flange 41a. From this state, the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40 rotate relative to each other so that the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 further increases, so that the top surface of the piston 36a contacts the second side surface 41f of the flange 41a.

図８に示されるように、吸込具３０の回転角度が最大の回転角度に達したとき、ピストン３６ａの頂面の全体がフランジ４１ａの第２の側面４１ｆに押し付けられる。図示される例では、最大の角度は９０°である。このとき、吸込具３０が第２の状態を取る。他方の突起４１ｂがピストン３６ａと接触していることにより、吸込具３０と第１の連結管４１とは吸込具３０の回転角度がさらに増加する方向に回転できない。   As shown in FIG. 8, when the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 reaches the maximum rotation angle, the entire top surface of the piston 36a is pressed against the second side surface 41f of the flange 41a. In the example shown, the maximum angle is 90 °. At this time, the suction tool 30 takes the second state. Since the other protrusion 41b is in contact with the piston 36a, the suction tool 30 and the first connecting pipe 41 cannot rotate in a direction in which the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 further increases.

吸込具３０の回転角度が所定の角度以上かつ最大の角度未満の状態によれば、回転制御部３６の弾性部材３６ｂの力は、吸込具３０の回転位置を第２の状態における回転位置に近づけるように作用する。このため、ユーザーが吸込具３０および連結管４０に回転力を加えていなくても吸込具３０の状態が第２の状態に変化する。   When the rotation angle of the suction tool 30 is not less than a predetermined angle and less than the maximum angle, the force of the elastic member 36b of the rotation control unit 36 brings the rotation position of the suction tool 30 closer to the rotation position in the second state. Acts as follows. For this reason, even if the user is not applying rotational force to the suction tool 30 and the connection pipe 40, the state of the suction tool 30 changes to a 2nd state.

図９〜図１１および図１９を参照して、掃除機１の動作について説明する。
図９に示されるように、第１の形態を取る掃除機１が床面ＦＬの清掃に用いられるとき、シャッター３２はケース３１の前方の部分を閉鎖している。この状態から掃除機１が図１０に示されるように壁面ＷＳに接近し、シャッター３２が壁面ＷＳに押し付けられたとき、シャッター３２がケース３１に対して移動し、ケース３１の前方の部分が開放される。このため、ケース３１の前方側からもケース３１内に空気が流入し、床面ＦＬと壁面ＷＳとにより構成される角に存在するごみが吸引されやすい。 With reference to FIGS. 9-11 and FIG. 19, operation | movement of the cleaner 1 is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the cleaner 1 taking the first form is used for cleaning the floor surface FL, the shutter 32 closes the front part of the case 31. From this state, when the cleaner 1 approaches the wall surface WS as shown in FIG. 10 and the shutter 32 is pressed against the wall surface WS, the shutter 32 moves relative to the case 31, and the front part of the case 31 is opened. Is done. For this reason, air also flows into the case 31 from the front side of the case 31, and dust present at the corners constituted by the floor surface FL and the wall surface WS is easily sucked.

掃除機１が家具と家具との隙間などのような狭いスペースの清掃に用いられるとき、図１１に示されるように掃除機１の形態が第２の形態に変更される。第２の形態において、シャッター３２が床面ＦＬに押し付けられたとき、シャッター３２がケース３１に対して移動し、ケース３１の前方の部分が開放される。このため、ケース３１の前方側からもケース３１内に空気が流入し、隙間の床面ＦＬ上に存在するごみが吸引されやすい。   When the cleaner 1 is used for cleaning a narrow space such as a gap between furniture, the form of the cleaner 1 is changed to the second form as shown in FIG. In the second embodiment, when the shutter 32 is pressed against the floor surface FL, the shutter 32 moves with respect to the case 31, and the front part of the case 31 is opened. For this reason, air also flows into the case 31 from the front side of the case 31, and dust existing on the floor surface FL of the gap is easily sucked.

掃除機１がスタンド等の所定の収納場所に配置されるとき、図１９に示されるように、掃除機１の形態が第３の形態に変更される。この形態では、掃除機１の正面視において吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが本体１０の縦方向ＺＡに沿うため、掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢの寸法が第１の形態における掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢの寸法よりも小さい。このため、掃除機１をより狭い空間に収納できる。また、吸込具３０の高さ方向ＺＦの寸法が本体１０の最大幅よりも狭いため、掃除機１をより一層狭い空間に収容できる。なお、掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢの寸法は、第１の形態における掃除機１の幅方向ＺＢの寸法と同じであってもよい。   When the cleaner 1 is placed in a predetermined storage location such as a stand, the form of the cleaner 1 is changed to the third form as shown in FIG. In this form, since the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is along the longitudinal direction ZA of the main body 10 in the front view of the cleaner 1, the dimension of the width direction ZB of the cleaner 1 is the width direction of the cleaner 1 in the first form. It is smaller than the dimension of ZB. For this reason, the cleaner 1 can be stored in a narrower space. Moreover, since the dimension of the height direction ZF of the suction tool 30 is narrower than the maximum width of the main body 10, the cleaner 1 can be accommodated in a much narrower space. In addition, the dimension of the width direction ZB of the cleaner 1 may be the same as the dimension of the width direction ZB of the cleaner 1 in the first embodiment.

図１２〜図１４を参照して、掃除機１の形態を第１の形態から第３の形態に変更する手順について説明する。図１２に示されるように、最初に、第１の形態において第１の状態を取る吸込具３０が第２の軸ＪＸ２まわりで回転させられる。このとき、吸込具３０の直交方向ＺＥが本体１０の縦方向ＺＡと平行するまで吸込具３０が回転させられる。   With reference to FIGS. 12-14, the procedure which changes the form of the cleaner 1 from a 1st form to a 3rd form is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 12, first, the suction tool 30 that takes the first state in the first form is rotated around the second axis JX2. At this time, the suction tool 30 is rotated until the orthogonal direction ZE of the suction tool 30 is parallel to the longitudinal direction ZA of the main body 10.

次に、吸込具３０が第１の軸ＪＸ１まわりで回転方向Ｗ１に回転させられることにより、図１３に示されるように吸込具３０が第２の状態を取る。次に、吸込具３０が第２の軸ＪＸ２まわりで回転方向Ｒ１に回転させられることにより、図１４に示されるとおり吸込具３０の長手方向ＺＤが本体１０の縦方向ＺＡに沿い、吸込具３０が第３の状態を取る。これにより、掃除機１の第１の形態から第３の形態への変更が完了する。   Next, when the suction tool 30 is rotated around the first axis JX1 in the rotation direction W1, the suction tool 30 takes the second state as shown in FIG. Next, when the suction tool 30 is rotated around the second axis JX2 in the rotation direction R1, the longitudinal direction ZD of the suction tool 30 is along the longitudinal direction ZA of the main body 10 as shown in FIG. Takes the third state. Thereby, the change from the 1st form of the vacuum cleaner 1 to the 3rd form is completed.

図１５は、吸込具３０の状態が第２の状態から第３の状態に変化する過程における吸込具３０および連結管４０の関係を示している。図１６は、この状態におけるロック機構５０の状態を示している。図１６に示されるように、凸部５２と突出部５１とが引っ掛からず、第１の連結管４１の端部４１ｃと第２の連結管４２の外周面４２ａとの間に隙間Ｇが形成されている。このため、ロック機構５０の状態がアンロック状態に保たれる。   FIG. 15 shows the relationship between the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40 in the process in which the state of the suction tool 30 changes from the second state to the third state. FIG. 16 shows the state of the lock mechanism 50 in this state. As shown in FIG. 16, the protrusion 52 and the protrusion 51 are not caught, and a gap G is formed between the end 41 c of the first connection pipe 41 and the outer peripheral surface 42 a of the second connection pipe 42. ing. For this reason, the state of the lock mechanism 50 is kept in the unlocked state.

図１７は、吸込具３０が第３の状態を取る場合における吸込具３０および連結管４０の関係を示している。図１８は、この状態におけるロック機構５０の状態を示している。吸込具３０の状態が第３の状態である場合、図１８に示されるように凸部５２と突出部５１とが引っ掛かり、第１の連結管４１の端部４１ｃと第２の連結管４２の外周面４２ａとが接触している。凸部５２と突出部５１とが引っ掛かることにより、吸込具３０と連結管４０との第２の軸ＪＸ２まわりにおける一方への回転が規制される。第１の連結管４１の端部４１ｃと第２の連結管４２の外周面４２ａとが接触していることにより、吸込具３０と連結管４０との第２の軸ＪＸ２まわりにおける他方への回転が規制され、ロック機構５０が吸込具３０をロックした状態が形成される。この状態で掃除機１がスタンド等に収納されるとき、掃除機１が移動しても吸込具３０が本体１０に対して回転しないため、掃除機１を収納するときの作業性が向上する。   FIG. 17 shows the relationship between the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40 when the suction tool 30 takes the third state. FIG. 18 shows the state of the lock mechanism 50 in this state. When the state of the suction tool 30 is the third state, as shown in FIG. 18, the protrusion 52 and the protrusion 51 are caught, and the end 41 c of the first connection pipe 41 and the second connection pipe 42 are The outer peripheral surface 42a is in contact. When the protrusion 52 and the protrusion 51 are hooked, the rotation of the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40 to one side around the second axis JX2 is restricted. Since the end 41c of the first connecting pipe 41 and the outer peripheral surface 42a of the second connecting pipe 42 are in contact with each other, the suction tool 30 and the connecting pipe 40 rotate to the other side around the second axis JX2. Is restricted, and a state is formed in which the lock mechanism 50 locks the suction tool 30. When the cleaner 1 is stored in a stand or the like in this state, the suction tool 30 does not rotate with respect to the main body 10 even if the cleaner 1 moves, so that workability when storing the cleaner 1 is improved.

（変形例）
なお、実施の形態に関する説明は、本発明のスティック型掃除機が取り得る形態の例示であり、その形態を制限することを意図していない。本発明に従うスティック型掃除機は、実施の形態以外に例えば以下に示される実施の形態の変形例、および、相互に矛盾しない少なくとも２つの変形例が組み合わせられた形態を取り得る。 (Modification)
In addition, the description regarding embodiment is an illustration of the form which the stick type vacuum cleaner of this invention can take, and it does not intend restrict | limiting the form. In addition to the embodiment, the stick type vacuum cleaner according to the present invention may take a form in which, for example, a modification of the embodiment shown below and a combination of at least two modifications not contradicting each other are combined.

・掃除機１の最大幅を狭くする吸込具３０の位置は図１９に例示された位置に限られない。例えば、吸込具３０が本体１０の背面側、かつ、ダストボックス９０の下方に配置される場合にも、図１９に例示される場合と同様に掃除機１の最大幅が狭くなる。   The position of the suction tool 30 that narrows the maximum width of the cleaner 1 is not limited to the position illustrated in FIG. For example, when the suction tool 30 is disposed on the back side of the main body 10 and below the dust box 90, the maximum width of the cleaner 1 is reduced as in the case illustrated in FIG.

・吸込具３０をロックするロック機構の構成は任意に変更可能である。一例では、掃除機１はロック機構５０に代えて、吸込具３０の状態が第３の状態である場合に吸込具３０を延長管６０に固定するロック機構を備える。このロック機構は、例えば吸込具３０に設けられる磁石と延長管６０に設けられる磁石との磁力を利用して吸込具３０を固定する構成、または、吸込具３０の一部と延長管６０の一部とを互いに嵌め合わせることにより吸込具３０を固定する構成を備える。   -The structure of the lock mechanism which locks the suction tool 30 can be changed arbitrarily. In one example, the vacuum cleaner 1 includes a lock mechanism that fixes the suction tool 30 to the extension pipe 60 when the state of the suction tool 30 is the third state, instead of the lock mechanism 50. This locking mechanism has a configuration in which the suction tool 30 is fixed using, for example, a magnetic force between a magnet provided in the suction tool 30 and a magnet provided in the extension pipe 60, or a part of the suction tool 30 and one of the extension pipes 60. The suction tool 30 is fixed by fitting the parts together.
