Description

  The present invention relates to a dust collector with a lid in which a sweep port portion of a dust receiving box is covered with an interlocking lid when suspended by a handle.

  A dust collector that sweeps and stores dust scattered on pavement surfaces and indoor floors with a scissors is a type of cleaning tool, and is usually a road surface or floor surface (hereinafter abbreviated as a floor surface) that has been swept up with a scissors. The dust (including dust) is swept into the interior and temporarily stored, and is used, for example, for disposal in a trash can or an incinerator. This dust collector is generally made of plastic or metal.

  For business use, etc., with a lid in which the base of the handle is pivotally connected to both sides of a box-shaped dust collector main body having a sweep port, and a lid is connected to the middle of the handle Dust removal has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This dust collector grips the handle of the end of a long stick, and can perform a sweeping operation without bending the waist. This dust collector is composed of a box-shaped main body having a sweep port at the front, a support body that supports the main body so as to be lifted, and a lid body that opens and closes the sweep port.

  In the dust sweeping operation using such a dust collector, the dust receiving box is lifted by the operation of the handle and is moved on the floor to collect the dust. In this way, in the work of sweeping the dust on the floor into the dust container, the bottom of the dust container and the corner of the closing plate on the opposite side of the sweep port with the movement, continuously or at any time, It will come into contact with the floor.

Japanese Patent No. 2676323

  However, with such a conventional dust collector, the dust receiving box is laid down, tilted, raised, and moved on the floor surface (while shifting its position) while sweeping the dust. The bottom plate of the dust receiving box, the capping plate that continues to the bottom plate, and the corners that continue to the bottom plate and the capping plate come into contact with the floor surface, especially the wear of the corner portion where the friction frequency with the floor surface is high, Eventually a hole opens in this corner. For this reason, the dust receiving box can no longer function as a dust collector. Such inconvenience is particularly noticeable when the dust receiving box is made of plastic. In addition, it is not preferable that the dust receiving box is made of metal, because a noise peculiar to metal sounds is generated when the dust receiving box is moved to the road surface or floor surface, and uncomfortable feeling is given to the surroundings.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a corner portion of a portion where the bottom plate and the capping plate of the dust receiving box are continuous by mounting a replaceable replacement member. By avoiding direct contact with the surface, it is possible to avoid wear and breakage of the corners in advance, thereby obtaining a dust collector that can improve the durability of the dust receiving box.

  In order to achieve the above object, a dust collector with a lid according to the present invention includes a square bottom plate for receiving dust and a rear plate of the bottom plate that is used as a closing plate, and the left and right sides of the bottom plate are raised. A pair of side plates, a plastic dust receiving box having a square sweep opening at the front by disposing a top plate across the upper end between these side plates, and the dust receiving box A lid that opens and closes the sweep opening, a handle that is supported so as to be vertically pivotable around a pivot on both sides of the lid, and that allows the lid to be opened and closed, and attached to both side plates of the dust receiving box And a horizontal shaft that supports the lower end of the handle so as to be vertically rotatable, and when the dust receiving box is tilted so that the bottom plate faces the floor surface by the operation of the handle, It is possible to sweep dust from the sweep port, and whether the bottom plate is a floor surface. When the dust receiving box is rotated in a direction away from the dust receiving box, the lid is a dust collector with the lid closing the sweep port as the box rotates, and the dust receiving box It is characterized in that a recess is formed on the inside along a corner portion where the bottom plate and the closing plate of the body are connected, and an exchange member is formed that forms a corner portion by joining the recess.

  With this configuration, when the dust receiving box body is cleaned by a handle operation, the replacement member that covers the corner portion where the bottom plate and the capping plate of the dust receiving box body are continuous is directly connected to the floor. Avoid contact and wear. Since the replacement member covers the corner portion, the bottom and the clogging portion of the replacement member are worn due to friction with the floor surface. However, it is only necessary to replace the worn replacement member with a replacement member prepared separately. The wear, damage, and breakage of the corners of the receiving box can be avoided in advance, and the durability and long life of the dust receiving box can be realized.

  In this case, by providing a plurality of reinforcing reinforcing ribs on the outer surface of the replacement member that mates with the recesses formed in the corners of the bottom plate and the closing plate of the dust receiving box body, When the dust receiving box is raised or moved so as to be pulled on the floor surface, it is possible to avoid the wear of the replacement member immediately. Further, by providing a plurality of reinforcing ribs on the outer surfaces of the bottom plate and the clogging plate of the dust receiving box, it is possible to avoid the bottom plate and the clogging plate from being worn immediately as described above. Thus, the reinforcing rib can smoothly move the dust receiving box body by reducing the contact resistance with the floor surface.

  Further, the replacement member has an L-shaped cross section, and the replacement member side rib protrudes from a portion corresponding to each of the ribs provided on the bottom plate and the closing plate of the dust receiving box body, so that the bottom portion of the replacement member In addition, the replacement member can be smoothly moved along the floor surface while avoiding wear and breakage of the blockage.

  According to the present invention, by replacing (replacing) the replacement member with respect to the dust receiving box body, the replacement member protects the corner plate where the bottom plate and the closing plate of the dust receiving box body are continuous, and thereby the floor surface. It is possible to avoid wear and breakage of the corner of the dust receiving box that moves facing (opposite).

  The present invention has been briefly described above. The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is a side view of the state which laid down the dust receiving box of the dust collector shown in FIG. It is the perspective view which looked at the dust receiving box shown in FIGS. 1-3 from diagonally downward. It is a perspective view of the replacement member shown in FIGS. It is the perspective view which looked at the exchange member shown in FIG. 5 from diagonally downward. It is explanatory drawing which shows the usage example of the dust collector by this embodiment.

  Hereinafter, a dust collector according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

  1-7 shows the structure of the dust collector with a lid | cover by this Embodiment. This dust collector with a lid is made by integral molding of plastic, and includes a bottom plate 11, side plates 12 and 13, a top plate 14, and a closing plate 15. In this dust collector, the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12, 13 and the top plate 14 form a sweep port P at the end in one direction, and further constitute a dust receiving box A together with the closing plate 15. ing.

  The bottom plate 11 is a plate-like portion forming a substantially square shape, and the front edge of the bottom plate 1, that is, the end edge on the sweep port P side, protrudes forward slightly longer than the side plates 12 and 13. It is a dust sweep edge 11b. A rubber spatula member 16 is attached to the sweep edge 11b. The rubber spatula member 16 includes a spatula portion 16a formed so as to be gradually thinned toward the tip, and a pair of sandwiching pieces 16b and 16c connected to the rear portion of the spatula portion 16a. By inserting the sweeping edge portion 11b between the sandwiching pieces 16b and 16c, the rubber spatula member 16 is elastically held by the sweeping edge portion 11b.

  Further, if necessary, an adhesive may be interposed between the sweeping edge portion 11b and the sandwiching pieces 16b and 16c, so that the bonding force can be increased and the holding can be ensured. The size and shape of the sweep edge 11b and the rubber spatula member 16 can be arbitrarily set according to the type and application of dust.

  The side plates 12 and 13 are integrally provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom plate 11 and rise substantially vertically, and arc-shaped notches 12a and 13a are formed on the upper tip side (sweep edge side). Thereby, a part on the bottom plate 11 can be seen from the outside of the side plates 12 and 13 through the notches 12a and 13a, and it is easy to confirm the presence or absence of dust on the bottom plate 11.

  The top plate 14 is integrally connected to the upper ends of the side plates 12 and 13, and has a size and shape that covers an approximately 2/3 region of the bottom plate 11. The closing plate 15 is integrally connected to the cylindrical plate formed by the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12 and 13, and the top plate 14 so as to close one open end thereof. Accordingly, the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12, 13, the top plate 14 and the closing plate 15 form the dust receiving box A described above. The dust receiving box A has a larger opening area on the side of the sweep port P serving as an opening than the side of the closing plate 15 and makes it easy to sweep dust into the dust receiving box A.

  A plurality of reinforcing ribs 11 a and 15 a projecting outward from the dust receiving box A are provided on the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15. Among these, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of, for example, four reinforcing ribs 11 a are provided in the front-rear direction of the bottom plate 11, and four reinforcing ribs 15 a are provided in the vertical direction of the closing plate 15. When these reinforcing ribs 11a and 15a are moved so that the position of the dust receiving box A is shifted along the floor surface (including the road surface), the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box A are connected to the floor surface. The dust receiving box body A can be smoothly moved.

  Further, the side plates 12 and 13 are provided with horizontal shafts 17 and 17 at portions which are biased toward the sweep port P side from the center of gravity of the dust receiving box A, and the horizontal shafts 17 and 17 have a U-shape. Both ends of the metal link 18 forming the above are supported so as to be rotatable. Further, a bar-shaped metal handle 20 is connected to the center portion of the link 18 via a connecting member 19, and the tip (upper end) portion of the handle 20 is an L-shaped grip 20a. The link 18 and the grip 20a constitute a part of the handle 20, and are operated integrally with the handle 20.

  Further, on the side plates 12 and 13 at the portions surrounding the horizontal shafts 17 and 17, a rotation restricting member 21 having a U-shape is integrally projected. These rotation restricting members 21 restrict the rotation region of the handle 20 that rotates about the horizontal shafts 17 and 17. The link 18 is provided with a support shaft 23 at a position above the horizontal shafts 17, 17, and one end portion of the lid body 22 is supported so as to be vertically rotatable around the support shaft 23.

  The lid 22 has a shape and size that can close the sweep port P of the dust receiving box A, and when the handle 20 is raised (lifted) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, The sweep port P is rotated so as to be closed by its own weight. On the other hand, when the handle 20 is moved down together with the dust receiving box A onto the floor as shown in FIG. 3 and is further laid down, the lid 20 moves along the top plate 14 toward the closing plate 15. Therefore, the sweep port P is opened.

  On the other hand, a notch-shaped recess 24 as shown in FIG. 4 is provided at the corner K where the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12, 13 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box A are continuous. The recess 24 includes a bottom surface portion 24a, side surface portions 24b and 24c, and a closed surface portion 24d. Of these, the side surface portions 24b and 24c are positioned between the pair of protrusions 25 and 25 and the protrusions 25 and 25. A fitting hole 26 is provided.

  Further, the side plates 12 and 13 in the vicinity of the portions where the protrusions 25 and 25 and the fitting hole 26 are installed are continuously provided with a notch 27 continuous with the recess 24. These notches 27 have a size and a shape into which a tip of a jig such as a driver can be inserted. In the recess 24, an exchange member 28 for preventing wear or damage in the vicinity of the corner K where the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12, 13 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box body A are continuous is provided in the dust receiving box. It is removable from the outside of the body.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the replacement member 28 has a bottom portion 28a, side portions 28b and 28c, and a clogging portion 28d integrally. Are arranged concentrically so that the short cylindrical fitting protrusions 29 and 29 face each other. In addition, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 30 are provided so as to protrude from the outer surfaces of the bottom portion 28a and the clogging portion 28d and the outer surfaces of the corner portions 28e continuous thereto. These reinforcing ribs 30 have the same cross-sectional shape and size as the reinforcing ribs 11a and 15a provided on the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15, respectively, and are arranged in positions and directions corresponding to these reinforcing ribs 11a and 15a. ing.

  The replacement member 28 having such a structure is obtained by molding plastic and has lubricity and a little elasticity. For this reason, the replacement member 28 can be slightly bent and deformed by a manual pressurizing operation, whereby the dust receiving box A can be easily attached to the corner K.

  When the replacement member 28 is attached to the corner K of the dust receiving box A, the bottom portion 28a, the side portions 28b and 28c, and the closing portion 28d of the replacement member 28 are attached to the bottom surface 24a of the corner K of the dust receiving box A. The side portions 24b and 24c and the closed surface portion 24d are opposed to each other, and the side portions 28b and 28c are further pushed outward. Then, the fitting protrusions 29 provided on the inner side of the widened side portions 28b and 28c are fitted into the fitting holes 26 of the side surface portions 24b and 24c in the corner portion K, so that the pushing Release the operating force of spreading. As a result, the replacement member 28 is attached to the corner K of the dust receiving box A. At this time, the protrusions 25 and 25 are brought into frictional contact with the side surfaces 24b and 24c with a predetermined pressure, and a gap between the side surfaces 24b and 24c and the side portions 28b and 28c of the replacement member 28 leads to the notch 27. (Not shown) occurs.

  On the other hand, when removing the replacement member 28 attached to the corner K of the dust receiving box A in this way, the tip portion of a screwdriver or the like as a jig is inserted into the notch 27 and the gap communicating therewith. The upper edge portions of the member 28 are pushed downward so that the side portion 28b or the side portion 28c of the member 28 is pushed outward. As a result, the fitting protrusion 29 is removed from the fitting hole 26, and the replacement member 28 can be easily removed from the corner K of the dust receiving box A. In other words, the replacement operation of the replacement member 28 with respect to the corner portion K of the dust receiving box can be performed easily and quickly by attaching and removing the replacement member 28.

  The dust collector having such a configuration is used as follows. When the dust collector is not in use, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the dust receiving box A has its cover plate 15 facing and installed on the floor surface via the reinforcing rib 15a. It will be in a standing state. The standing posture of the dust receiving box A can be obtained by lifting the handle 30 to change the bottom plate 11 from a horizontal state along the floor surface to an inclined state, and further standing in the vertical direction.

  In the standing state of the dust receiving box A, the lower end of the handle 20 is supported by the horizontal shaft 17 and stands in a substantially vertical direction, and the closing portion 28d of the replacement member 28 is opposed to and installed on the floor surface via the reinforcing rib 30. Is done. At this time, the lid body 22 eccentrically supported by the support shaft 23 on the link 18 closes the sweep port P of the dust receiving box A by its own weight.

  Next, when sweeping the dust scattered on the floor surface, the handle 20 is tilted in the direction of the arrow Q in FIG. 1 with the horizontal axis 17 as the center, and the horizontal axis 17 is further directed toward the bottom plate 11 of the dust receiving box A. Rotate to push As a result, the dust receiving box A falls down in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1 around the corner 28e (specifically, the corner of the reinforcing rib 30) of the replacement member 28 facing the floor surface. As shown in FIG. 1, the dust receiving box A is laid down so that the bottom plate 11 faces the floor surface.

  When the dust receiving box A is tilted in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1, the lid 22 is rotated about the support shaft 23 by its own weight, along the top plate 14 of the dust receiving box A in FIG. Moving in the direction of arrow T, the sweep port P is opened as shown in FIG. Therefore, the dust receiving box A can be moved onto the floor, and dust on the floor surface can be swept into the dust receiving box A from the open sweep port P using the soot. Subsequently, in order to sweep out another dust, the dust receiving box A is moved onto the floor surface while lifting the handle 20. By this lifting and movement, the dust receiving box A is inclined to rotate in the direction of arrow S in FIG. 3 about the horizontal shaft 17 so that the sweep port is directed upward due to its own weight.

  Then, by continuing to lift the handle 20 following such inclination, the dust receiving box A is again supported on the horizontal shaft 17 in the upright state shown in FIG. 1 so that the closing plate 15 faces the floor surface. It can be installed on the floor. As a result, the dust swept into the dust receiving box A as described above is sent to and stored in the back of the dust receiving box A (in the direction of the closing plate 15). The dust stored in the dust receiving box A is in a state in which the lid 22 is opened by operating the handle 20, and the bottom plate 11 of the dust receiving box A is placed on the upper part of the dust bin M as shown in FIG. By tilting it over, it can be discharged into the trash can M. Further, by operating the handle 20, the dust receiving box A moves together with the bottom plate 11 and the capping plate 15 while the bottom portion 28a and the clogging portion 28d of the replacement member 28 are opposed to the floor surface.

  The movement of the dust receiving box A is performed so that the reinforcing ribs 11a and 15a of the bottom plate 11 and the capping plate 15 and the reinforcing ribs 30 of the bottom portion 28a and the capping portion 28d of the replacement member 28 are rubbed against the floor surface. Therefore, it is possible to avoid wear and damage of the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 itself, and the bottom portion 28a and the closing portion 28d themselves. Further, the reinforcing ribs 11a, 15a, and 30 make the movement of the dust receiving box A on the floor surface smooth in order to reduce the frictional resistance against the floor surface of the dust receiving box A.

  In general, when the dust receiving box body is frequently rotated and moved on the floor surface, the wear of the corner K where the bottom plate and the closing plate of the dust receiving box body are continuous becomes particularly remarkable. In the present embodiment, since the replacement member 28 with the reinforcing rib 30 as described above is detachably attached to the corner K of the portion where the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box A are continuous, the dust receiver Even if the box A is repeatedly rotated and moved on the floor surface and the reinforcing rib 30, the bottom 28a, and the closed portion 28d may be worn, the wear is caused by the bottom plate 11 of the dust receiving box A. In addition, by exchanging the replacement member 28 with a new one before reaching the continuous corner of the closing plate 15, it is possible to avoid the opening of the dust receiving box A and other damage in advance. As a result, the life of the dust collector can be extended.

  As described above, the dust collector of the present invention is an exchange that can be attached to and detached from the outside of the dust receiving box A at a portion corresponding to the corner K where at least the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box A are continuous. The member 28 is mounted. Accordingly, since the replacement member 28 covers the bottom plate 11, the blocking plate 15, and the corner K, the bottom portion 28a and the blocking portion 28d of the replacement member 28 are worn by friction with the floor surface when the dust receiving box is moved. However, it is possible to avoid wear, damage, and breakage of the bottom plate 11, the closing plate 15 and the corner portion K of the dust receiving box A by simply exchanging the replacement member 28 in which each part is worn separately. The durability and long life of the dust receiving box A can be realized.

  In addition, since the plurality of reinforcing ribs 11a and 15a project from the outer surfaces of the bottom plate 11 and the capping plate 15 of the dust receiving box A, the dust receiving box A can be raised or laid by operating the handle 20. In addition, it is possible to prevent the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 from being worn immediately when moving so as to shift the position on the floor surface, and to reduce the contact resistance with the floor surface, thereby reducing the dust receiving box. The body A can be moved smoothly.

  Further, the replacement member 28 has an L-shaped cross section, and replacement member-side reinforcing ribs 30 project from portions corresponding to the reinforcing ribs 11a and 25a provided on the bottom plate 11 and the closing plate 15 of the dust receiving box A. As a result, the replacement member 28 can be smoothly moved along the floor surface while avoiding the wear and breakage of the bottom portion 28a, the blocking portion 28d and the corner portion of the replacement member 28.

  The dust collector of the present invention has an effect that it is possible to avoid wear, damage, and breakage of the corner portion where the bottom plate and the cover plate of the dust receiving box body are continuous by simply replacing the replacement member with the dust receiving box body. It is useful for a dust remover that sweeps and stores dust scattered on a road surface or an indoor floor surface using a soot.
