Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a device for cleaning a filter used in an air conditioner or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Air conditioning equipment is equipped with a filter to purify the air taken in, so that it is cleaned regularly. Further, as a device therefor, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-185132 has been proposed. In this device, a device having a shield integrated with a suction port on the rear surface is moved left and right with respect to the filter to suck dust on the filter. However, since the nozzle moves only at an appropriate distance from the filter, it is not possible to expect the effect of separating dust that is entangled in the filter from the nozzle, and the cleaning ability must be low.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its problem is to effectively remove dust that may be entangled in the filter and dust that has entered the eyes of the filter, thus providing effective cleaning. It is to be able to do it.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a suction space 11 capable of accommodating the filter 10 wholly or partially in the entire apparatus 12, and sucks an insertion opening 13 for inserting the filter 10 into the suction space from the outside. A brush portion 14 that is formed toward the space 11 and that can contact the surface of the filter 10 is arranged inside the insertion port 13 to remove dirt adhering to it and suck the dust that has fallen out of the suction space. A suction port 15 for discharging by means is provided at an appropriate place in the main body.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A filter cleaning device according to the present invention is a device for cleaning a filter 10 used in an air conditioner or the like.

The filter 10 is assumed to have a substantially flat shape, and the illustrated one has a plate-like structure in which a filter material 18 is stretched over a frame 17. Reference numeral 19 denotes a handling end portion, which is provided for mounting and handling the filter 10.

A suction space 11 is provided in the main body 12 of the cleaning device. The suction space 11 has a size capable of accommodating the filter 10 wholly or partially, but at a minimum, an insertion depth of about one half of the filter 10 is required. This is because the filter 10 can be cleaned in half if it has such a depth. The suction space 11 is sealed.

An insertion opening 13 is opened toward the suction space 11 for inserting the filter 10 into the suction space 11 from the outside. In the case of the example, the inside of the apparatus main body 12 is almost the same as the suction space, and the insertion port 13 is formed on the upper surface thereof.

The upper surface of the main body provided with the insertion opening 13 may have a lid-like structure that can be removed from the main body 12 (FIGS. 1 to 3) or may be integrated with the main body 10 (FIG. 4). In the case of Example 1 shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the insertion opening 13 is formed in the lid-shaped structure 20, and the opening / closing piece 16 made of an elastic sheet material is provided inside thereof. Since the opening / closing piece 16 is formed by stacking a plurality of rubber sheets, the insertion opening 13 can be closed so as to allow a proper air flow. In Example 2 shown in FIG. 4, the bottom plate 21 is detachable to facilitate the approach to the inside. The brush portion 14 for removing the dirt adhering to the filter 10 is arranged inside the above-mentioned insertion opening 13. The brush portion 14 is capable of contacting the surface of the filter 10 in order to brush the surface of the filter 10. The brush portion 14 is composed of a pair of brush pieces 14a and 14b arranged to face each other in the illustrated example. In that case, the pair of brush pieces 14a and 14b can be brushed on both sides of the filter 10 at the same time. When the filter 10 is moved up and down, the dust particles adhering thereto can be removed.

A suction port 15 for sucking the dust thus washed off to discharge it to the outside of the suction space is provided at an appropriate place in the main body. To the suction port 15, a hose 22 as a suction means such as a vacuum cleaner (not shown) (for example, a household electric vacuum cleaner) is connected. The position of the suction port 15 is preferably slightly below the brush part 13 in order to suck in the dust blown off by the brush part 14.

Therefore, when the suction port 15 is connected to the suction means and the filter 10 is inserted through the insertion port 13 while operating the suction means, the filter surface comes into contact with the brush portion 14 and is rubbed. The dust adhering to 10 is removed, and immediately thereafter, it is discharged from the suction port 15 to the outside by the suction means.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, dust that is entangled in the filter 10 or dust that has entered the eyes of the filter 10 can be suitably removed by the brush 14, and the filter 10 can be effectively cleaned. Has the effect.
