<Overall configuration>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an outline of the suction hair collector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the suction hair collector 10 has a main body portion 100 and a lid portion 200 that can be attached to the main body portion 100.

The main body 100 of the suction hair collector 10 has a drainage 160 inside. Further, the main body portion 100 has a removable hair collecting portion 300 inside.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the state of the main body portion 100, the lid portion 200, the hair collecting portion 300, and the drainage portion 160 included in the suction hair collecting device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
<Main body>
The shape of the main body 100 is a hollow substantially cylindrical shape. The size of the main body 100 is not particularly limited, but it is 100 to 150 mm in the longitudinal direction and 80 to 90 mm in diameter in the lateral direction. The thickness of the main body 100 is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the main body 100 is, for example, a silicon rubber material.

Since the main body 100 can easily change its shape by using silicon rubber as the material, for example, when the suction hair collector 10 is put in the washing tub, the running water generated inside the washing tub by the washing machine causes the washing machine to generate water. An external force 410 or the like (described later) can be easily applied to change the shape of the main body 100.

Further, by using silicon rubber as the material for the main body 100, it is possible to collect hair and debris by the suction hair collector 10 without damaging the clothes and the like mixed in the washing tub. Further, the main body 100 can improve the durability of the suction hair collector 10 by using silicon rubber as the material.

The main body 100 has a first opening 140 and a second opening 141 at both ends. The main body 100 is detachably coupled to the lid 200 at the first opening 140. Further, the main body portion 100 is integrally and inseparably connected to the drainage portion 160 at the second opening portion 141.

The main body 100 has a thread 110 on the outer peripheral edge of the first opening 140. The male thread 110 is detachably connected to the lid 200 by being screwed with the female thread 210 of the lid 200.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body portion 100 is joined to the partition wall member 150 at the second opening 141. The partition wall member 150 is joined to the main body 100 at the second opening 141 so that its surface is orthogonal to the long axis of the main body 100. That is, the opening of the second opening 141 is closed by the partition wall member 150. In this way, the main body portion 100 is integrally and inseparably connected to the drainage portion 160 in the second opening portion 141, that is, the partition wall member 150.

The thickness of the partition wall member 150 is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the partition wall member 150 is, for example, a silicon rubber material.

Further, the partition wall member 150 has a perforated portion 130. The perforated portion 130 is obtained by hollowing out the partition wall member 150 into a substantially circular shape. That is, the perforated portion 130 has a substantially circular shape. The diameter of the perforated portion 130 is not particularly limited, but is about 30 to 50 mm.
<Cover>
The shape of the lid portion 200 is hollow and has a substantially cylindrical shape with one bottom surface open. The size of the lid portion 200 is not particularly limited, but the height direction is 10 to 20 mm and the diameter is 90 to 100 mm. The diameter of the lid portion 200 is larger than the diameter of the first opening 140 of the main body portion 100. The thickness of the lid portion 200 is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the lid portion 200 is, for example, a silicon rubber material or a plastic material.

The lid portion 200 has a female thread 210 on the inner peripheral edge of the first opening 140. The female thread 210 is detachably connected to the main body 100 by being screwed with the male thread 110 of the main body 100.

The lid portion 200 has a check valve 220 in the entry direction. Further, the lid portion 200 has a perforated portion 230. The perforated portion 230 is obtained by hollowing out the bottom surface of the lid portion 200 into a substantially circular shape. That is, the perforated portion 230 has a substantially circular shape. The diameter of the perforated portion 230 is not particularly limited, but is about 50 to 70 mm.

The lid portion 200 has a second shaft member 221. The second shaft member 221 passes through the center of the perforated portion 230 and is coupled to the lid portion 200 so as to close the perforated portion about the diameter of the perforated portion 230 as an axis. The shape of the second shaft member 221 is a square columnar shape.

The size of the second shaft member 221 is not particularly limited, but the length is 50 to 70 mm, and the width and depth are 5 to 15 mm. The length of the second shaft member 221 is the same as the diameter of the first opening 140. The material of the second shaft member 221 is, for example, a silicon rubber material or a plastic material.

The second shaft member 221 is integrally and inseparably joined to the check valve 220 in the entry direction on the surface of the second shaft member 221 on the side close to the main body 100. That is, the check valve 220 in the entry direction has a structure that bends only inward (toward the main body 100 side) from the perforated portion 230, and is locked to the lid portion 200 via the second shaft member 221.

The diameter of the check valve 220 in the entry direction is not particularly limited, but is about 60 to 80 mm. Further, the diameter of the check valve 220 in the entry direction is larger than the diameter of the perforated portion 230. The thickness of the check valve 220 in the entry direction is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the check valve 220 in the entry direction is, for example, a silicon rubber material.

Due to the above characteristics, the check valve 220 in the entry direction allows water to pass inside the main body 100 only when water enters from the outside of the lid 200. That is, the check valve 220 in the entry direction prevents water from being discharged from the inside of the main body 100 to the outside through the lid 200.
<Hair collection part>
The hair collecting portion 300 has a ring-shaped opening frame body 310 and a hair collecting net 320. The hair collecting portion 300 is detachably connected to the main body portion 100 via the opening frame body 310.

The opening frame 310 is coupled so as to fit on the peripheral edge of the first opening 140. That is, the opening frame body 310 does not slide down from the first opening 140 to the inside of the main body 100. Further, the opening frame body 310 is detachably adhered to the hair collecting net 320. Therefore, the hair collecting portion 300 does not allow the hair and debris that have entered from the side of the lid portion 200 to pass through the hair collecting net 320 to the inside of the main body portion 100. That is, the hair collecting portion 300 can filter out the hair and debris that have invaded from the lid portion 200 by the hair collecting net 320.

The shape of the hair collecting portion 300 is a hollow substantially hemispherical shape. The size of the hair collecting portion 300 is not particularly limited, but the height direction is 50 to 70 mm and the diameter is 80 to 95 mm. The diameter of the hair collecting portion 300 indicates the diameter of the opening frame body 310, and is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the first opening 140 of the main body portion 100.

The hair collecting net 320 of the hair collecting portion 300 can be replaced. That is, for example, after washing, the suction hair collecting device 10 can recover the hair collecting ability by taking out the hair collecting portion 300 and replacing the hair collecting net 320.

Further, the hair collecting net 320 can be replaced with a filter having a finer mesh. By using the hair collecting net 320 as a filter, the hair collecting portion 300 can remove foreign substances having particles finer than hair and dust from the solution.
<Drainage section>
The drainage portion 160 is integrally and inseparably connected to the main body portion 100 at the second opening 141. The shape of the drainage portion 160 is a hollow substantially hemispherical shape. The size of the drainage portion 160 is not particularly limited, but the height direction is 20 to 30 mm, and the diameter of the bottom surface is 80 to 90 mm.

The diameter of the bottom surface of the drainage portion 160 is the same as the diameter of the second opening 141. The thickness of the drainage portion 160 is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the drainage portion 160 is, for example, a silicon rubber material.

The drainage unit 160 has a check valve 120 in the exit direction. Further, the drainage portion 160 has a shaft member 121. The shaft member 121 passes through the center of the perforation portion 130 and is coupled to the partition wall member 150 so as to close the perforation with the diameter of the perforation portion 130 as the axis.

The shape of the shaft member 121 is a square columnar shape. The size of the shaft member 121 is not particularly limited, but the length is 30 to 50 mm, and the width and depth are 5 to 15 mm. The length of the shaft member 121 is the same as the diameter of the second opening 141. The material of the shaft member 121 is, for example, a silicon rubber material or a plastic material.

The shaft member 121 is integrally and inseparably joined to the check valve 120 in the exit direction on the surface of the shaft member 121 on the side close to the drainage portion 160. As a result, the check valve 120 in the exit direction has a structure that bends only to the outside (drainage portion 160 side) of the perforated portion 130, and is locked to the main body portion 100 via the shaft member 121.

The diameter of the check valve 120 in the exit direction is not particularly limited, but is about 60 to 80 mm. Further, the diameter of the check valve 120 in the exit direction is assumed to be larger than the diameter of the perforated portion 230. The thickness of the check valve 120 in the exit direction is not particularly limited, but is about 1 to 3 mm. The material of the check valve 120 in the exit direction is, for example, a silicon rubber material.

Further, the check valve 120 in the exit direction is affected by contact from the outside when the valve is exposed, and therefore has a structure in which the valve is protected by a substantially hemispherical side wall of the drainage portion 160.

Due to the above characteristics, the check valve 120 in the exit direction allows water to pass to the outside of the drainage portion 160 only when water is discharged from the inside of the main body portion 100. That is, the check valve 120 in the exit direction prevents water from entering the inside through the drainage portion 160 from the outside of the drainage portion 160.

Further, the check valve 120 in the exit direction can prevent the valve from being affected by external contact.

Further, the drainage portion 160 has a perforation portion 170. The drainage portion 160 drains water that enters from the side of the lid portion 200 by the perforation portion 170. The perforated portion 170 is obtained by hollowing out the bottom surface of the drainage portion 160 into a substantially circular shape. That is, the perforated portion 170 has a substantially circular shape. The diameter of the perforated portion 170 is not particularly limited, but is about 20 to 30 mm.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the suction hair collector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the suction hair collector 10 has a check valve 220 in the entry direction and a check valve 120 in the exit direction by attaching the lid portion 200 to the main body portion 100.
<Mechanism of drainage>
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing how the suction hair collector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention drains water. Hereinafter, the mechanism of drainage when the suction hair collector 10 is used for washing clothes and the like will be described.

First, the operator installs the hair collecting portion 300 on the main body portion 100 and attaches the lid portion 200 to the suction hair collecting device 10. In that state, the operator puts the suction hair collector 10 into the washing tub of the washing machine.

Since clothes and running water in the washing tub move around, an external force 410 or the like, which will be described later, is generated inside the washing tub, and the suction hair collector 10 receives the external force 410 or the like.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the suction hair collector 10 receives an external force 410 from the outside with respect to the suction hair collector 10 in a direction orthogonal to the long axis of the main body 100 by running water. Next, the suction hair collector 10 generates a water flow in the direction of the arrow 420 from the vicinity of the center of the main body 100 toward the outside by being pressed by the external force 410.

Next, the suction hair collector 10 generates a water flow in the direction of the arrow 430 by passing the water flow generated in the direction of the arrow 420 through the check valve 120 in the exit direction. After that, the suction hair collector 10 drains the water flow generated in the direction of the arrow 430 to the outside of the main body 100 by passing through the perforated portion 170.

The water flow generated in the direction of the arrow 420 does not pass through the check valve 220 in the entry direction. That is, the suction hair collector 10 cannot drain water from the lid portion 200 toward the outside. As a result, the suction hair collector 10 can prevent the hair and debris collected in the hair collecting portion 300 from being discharged outward from the lid portion 200.

In this way, the suction hair collector 10 can temporarily reduce the internal pressure by draining water to the outside of the main body 100. Further, the suction hair collector 10 can prevent the hair and debris collected in the hair collecting portion 300 from being discharged outward from the lid portion 200.
<Mechanism of water absorption>
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing how the suction hair collector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention absorbs water. Hereinafter, the mechanism of water absorption when the suction hair collector 10 is used for washing clothes and the like will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the suction hair collector 10 drains water to the outside of the main body 100 as described above, and the internal pressure is temporarily lowered. Therefore, the drag force 510 is applied from the inside of the main body 100. Receive. Next, the suction hair collector 10 generates a water flow in the direction of the arrow 520 from the outside of the main body 100 toward the vicinity of the inner center of the main body 100 by expanding the main body 100 by the drag force 510.

Next, the suction hair collector 10 generates a water flow in the direction of the arrow 530 by passing the water flow generated in the direction of the arrow 520 through the check valve 220 in the entry direction. In this way, the suction hair collector 10 absorbs water inside the main body 100.

Further, when the water flow generated in the direction of the arrow 530 passes through the hair collecting net 320, the hair and debris are filtered out by the hair collecting net 320 of the hair collecting portion 300, and the suction hair collecting device 10 collects the hair and debris. Hair can be collected on the hair portion 300. The water after collecting the hair and debris is discharged to the outside from the drainage unit 160 by the mechanism described above.

The water flow generated in the direction of arrow 520 does not pass through the check valve 120 in the exit direction. That is, the suction hair collector 10 cannot absorb water from the drainage portion 160. As a result, the suction hair collector 10 can prevent water from entering from the drainage portion 160 side where the hair collecting portion 300 is not provided.

In this way, the suction hair collector 10 can return the internal pressure by absorbing water inside the main body 100. Further, the suction hair collector 10 can collect hair and debris in the hair collecting portion 300.

As described above, by repeating the above drainage and water absorption during washing and rinsing of the washing machine, the suction hair collector 10 can filter out foreign substances such as hair and debris that have passed through the main body 100.

Further, after washing, the hair collecting ability can be recovered by taking out the hair collecting portion 300 from the main body portion 100 and replacing the hair collecting net 320.
<When absorbing and draining water by various external forces>
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing how the suction hair collector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention absorbs and drains water by various external forces.

FIG. 6A shows how an external force 600 acts on the suction hair collector 10 in the long axis direction of the main body 100. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the external force 600 acts on the suction hair collector 10, the suction hair collector 10 drains water toward the outside in the direction of the arrow 610, as described above. Further, this reduces the internal pressure of the suction hair collector 10.

Next, the suction hair collector 10 generates a drag force 700 because the internal pressure has decreased. When the drag force 700 acts on the suction hair collector 10, the suction hair collector 10 sucks water in the direction of the arrow 710 toward the inside in the same manner as described above.

In this way, the suction hair collector 10 can drain and absorb water even when an external force is generated in the long axis direction of the main body 100 with respect to the suction hair collector 10.

The suction hair collector 10 can include a spring structure in the main body 100. The suction hair collector 10 can increase the amount of water flowing in the lateral direction when the main body 100 includes a spring structure.

Further, FIG. 6B shows how the pressure inside the main body 100 changes when the suction hair collector 10 is gripped from the outside. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the pressure inside the main body 100 changes due to being gripped from the outside, the suction hair collector 10 drains toward the outside in the direction of the arrow 810 as described above. I do. Further, this reduces the internal pressure of the suction hair collector 10.

Next, when the suction hair collector 10 is released from being gripped from the outside, the suction hair collector 10 tries to return to the original state from the state in which the internal pressure is lowered. That is, in the same manner as described above, the suction hair collector 10 sucks water inward in the direction of the arrow 910.

In this way, the suction hair collector 10 can drain and absorb water even when the pressure inside the main body 100 changes due to being gripped by the suction hair collector 10 from the outside. That is, the suction hair collector 10 can collect hair and debris in the hair collecting portion 300.
<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, it is possible to provide a suction hair collector 10 which is durable and can efficiently collect hair and debris in water.
