Description

本発明は、電動送風機を内包した吸引型の家庭用の電気掃除機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a suction type household vacuum cleaner including an electric blower.

従来、この種の電気掃除機は、プリーツ状のフィルタを搭載したものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   Conventionally, this type of vacuum cleaner has a pleated filter mounted thereon (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、コードリールと連動した除塵装置を搭載したものもある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   There are also those equipped with a dust removal device that is linked to a cord reel (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

特開平１１−５６７１７号公報 特許第３４９００８１号公報 特開２００１−１７０４６１号公報 There is also a filter using a porous PTFE membrane (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-56717 Japanese Patent No. 3490081 JP 2001-170461 A

しかしながら、特許文献１に示す従来の構成ではプリーツ状のフィルタを構成するフィルタ濾材に微細な塵埃が内部に入り込み次第に圧損が大きくなる問題を有している。   However, the conventional configuration shown in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the pressure loss gradually increases as fine dust enters the filter medium constituting the pleated filter.

特許文献２に示す除塵手段を用いてもフィルタ内部に入った塵埃を十分に落とすことができず、定期的に水洗い等をしてフィルタ内に蓄積された塵埃を除去する必要があった。   Even if the dust removing means shown in Patent Document 2 is used, the dust that has entered the filter cannot be sufficiently removed, and the dust accumulated in the filter must be removed by regular washing with water.

特許文献３には多孔質ＰＴＦＥ膜を使用したフィルタの例が記載されており、掃除機用のフィルタとして使用できる旨が記載されている。多孔質ＰＴＦＥ膜を利用したフィルタは塵離れには優れているが、掃除機の吸引された塵埃を捕捉するフィルタとして使用する場合、すなわち集塵室内に使用した場合は捕捉すべき微細塵埃の量がエアークリーナなどに比べ多く、立体的に塵埃を捕捉できる従来の繊維質なフィルタに比べ、多孔質なＰＴＦＥ膜フィルタでは表面で塵埃を補足するため捕捉した塵埃量に対し急激に圧損が増加する。表面積を増やすためプリーツを多くするとプリーツ間に塵埃が詰まり、塵離れの良さが活かせなくなる課題を有している。   Patent Document 3 describes an example of a filter using a porous PTFE membrane, and describes that it can be used as a filter for a vacuum cleaner. A filter using a porous PTFE membrane is excellent in dust separation, but when used as a filter for trapping dust sucked by a vacuum cleaner, that is, when used in a dust collection chamber, the amount of fine dust to be trapped Compared to conventional fiber filters that can capture dust three-dimensionally compared to air cleaners, etc., porous PTFE membrane filters capture the dust on the surface, and the pressure loss increases rapidly with respect to the amount of dust captured. . When the pleats are increased in order to increase the surface area, there is a problem that dust is clogged between the pleats and the good separation of dust cannot be utilized.

上記従来の課題を解決するために本発明は、最上流側に設置した多孔質なＰＴＦＥ膜と、前記ＰＴＦＥ膜の下流側に不織布を貼り付けプリーツ状に折ったフィルタユニットの構成とし、プリーツの開き角度が１５度から３０度に設定することにより、捕捉された塵埃に対して圧損の増加か減らし、しかも除塵性能を良くすることができ、長時間にわたって吸込力を維持させることが可能となる。   In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present invention has a configuration of a porous PTFE membrane installed on the most upstream side and a filter unit in which a nonwoven fabric is pasted on the downstream side of the PTFE membrane and folded in a pleat shape. By setting the opening angle from 15 degrees to 30 degrees, it is possible to increase or decrease the pressure loss with respect to the trapped dust, improve the dust removal performance, and maintain the suction force for a long time. .

本発明によれば、長時間にわたって強力な吸い込み力を持続させ、塵埃捕捉手段であるフィルタユニットのメンテナンスを軽減できる電気掃除機を提供できる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the vacuum cleaner which can maintain a strong suction force over a long time and can reduce the maintenance of the filter unit which is a dust capture means can be provided.

第一の発明は、最上流側に設置した多孔質なＰＴＦＥ膜と、前記ＰＴＦＥ膜の下流側に不織布を貼り付けプリーツ状に折って構成され、プリーツの開き角度が１５度から３０度の掃除機用フィルタユニットとすることにより、除塵性能に優れ、吸い込み力を持続させることができる。   The first invention comprises a porous PTFE membrane installed on the most upstream side, a nonwoven fabric pasted on the downstream side of the PTFE membrane and folded into a pleat shape, and the opening angle of the pleat is 15 to 30 degrees By using the machine filter unit, the dust removal performance is excellent and the suction force can be maintained.

第二の発明は、特に第１の発明のフィルタユニットの外枠の面積が１００〜１６０ｃｍ２のフィルタユニットとすることにより、除塵性能に優れ、吸い込み力を持続させることができ、しかも吸い込み仕事率の大きな電気掃除機を得ることができる。 In the second invention, the filter unit of the first invention has an outer frame area of 100 to 160 cm 2 , so that the dust removal performance is excellent, the suction force can be maintained, and the suction power is increased. Can get a big vacuum cleaner.

第三の発明は、特に第１及び２の発明フィルタユニットを電動送風機によって吸引した塵埃を捕集用として用いた電気掃除機とすることにより除塵性能に優れ、吸い込み力を持続させることができ、しかも吸い込み仕事率の大きな電気掃除機を得ることができる。   The third aspect of the invention is particularly excellent in dust removal performance by making the vacuum filter using the dust filter sucked by the electric blower for the first and second invention filter units for collection, and can maintain the suction force. Moreover, it is possible to obtain a vacuum cleaner with a large suction work rate.

第四の発明は、特に第３の発明のフィルタユニットをその上部が下部より吸気上流側に位置するよう前傾させて設けた電気掃除機とすることにより、除塵性能にすぐれしかも塵埃のフィルタユニットへの再付着をしにくい構成が実現できる。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vacuum cleaner provided with the filter unit according to the third aspect of the present invention tilted forward so that the upper part is positioned upstream of the lower portion of the intake air. It is possible to realize a configuration that is difficult to reattach to the surface.

第五の発明は、特に第３及び４の発明のフィルタ濾材に付着した塵埃を除塵する除塵手段を備えた電気掃除機とすることにより、より除塵性能にすぐれた電気掃除機が実現できる。   According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a vacuum cleaner having more excellent dust removal performance can be realized by using a vacuum cleaner provided with dust removing means for removing dust adhering to the filter medium of the third and fourth aspects of the invention.

第六の発明は、特に第５発明の除塵手段をフィルタユニットの下流側を叩いて除塵する構成とした電気掃除機とすることにより、より除塵性能を良くし、フィルタの耐久性を良くすることができる。   In the sixth aspect of the invention, the dust removing means of the fifth aspect of the invention is a vacuum cleaner configured to remove dust by hitting the downstream side of the filter unit, thereby improving dust removal performance and improving the durability of the filter.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、本実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

（実施の形態１）
図１は本発明の第１の実施形態における電気掃除機の全体図を示すものである。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a vacuum cleaner according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

図１において、電動送風機１２を内蔵した掃除機本体１１の吸引口１５と電動送風機１２の吸気口１２ａの間には集塵室１４が設けられている。吸引口１５にはホース（図示せず）、延長管（図示せず）が接続され、延長管の先端に床面１３の塵埃を吸引清掃する吸口（図示せず）が接続されている。集塵室１４の下流側には粗い塵埃を分離するためのメッシュフィルタ１９、更に下流には細かい塵埃を分離するプリーツ状のフィルタユニット２０が設けられている。電動送風機１２は防娠ゴム２３で掃除機本体１１に支持される。吸引された空気は矢印Ａで示すように電動送風機１２の排気口１２ｂを通過し、掃除機本体１１の排気口１１ａから排出される。掃除機本体１１の後方にはコードリール２７が収納されている。集塵室１４は図２に示すように、本体１１から着脱自在であり、フィルタユニット２０も着脱自在に構成されている。底部には開閉蓋１４ａを有し、把手１４ｂ近辺に設けられた開閉ボタンを押すことにより、開閉蓋１４ａが開き集塵室１４内部の塵埃を取り出すことができる。   In FIG. 1, a dust collection chamber 14 is provided between the suction port 15 of the cleaner body 11 incorporating the electric blower 12 and the intake port 12 a of the electric blower 12. A hose (not shown) and an extension tube (not shown) are connected to the suction port 15, and a suction port (not shown) for sucking and cleaning the dust on the floor surface 13 is connected to the tip of the extension tube. A mesh filter 19 for separating coarse dust is provided downstream of the dust collection chamber 14, and a pleated filter unit 20 for separating fine dust is provided further downstream. The electric blower 12 is supported by the cleaner body 11 with a pregnancy rubber 23. The sucked air passes through the exhaust port 12b of the electric blower 12 as indicated by an arrow A, and is discharged from the exhaust port 11a of the cleaner body 11. A cord reel 27 is accommodated behind the cleaner body 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the dust collection chamber 14 is detachable from the main body 11, and the filter unit 20 is also detachable. An opening / closing lid 14a is provided at the bottom, and the opening / closing lid 14a is opened by pressing an opening / closing button provided in the vicinity of the handle 14b, and dust inside the dust collecting chamber 14 can be taken out.

図３はフィルタユニット２０を示す。図３（ａ）は上流側から見た図、図３（ｂ）は底面、図３（ｃ）は下流側から見た図、図３（ｄ）は側面図を示す。外枠２０ａに山谷を有したプリーツ状に折ったフィルタ濾材２１を接着することにより構成されている。空気の流れを矢印Ｂで示す。図３（ａ）で谷部２１ａを細線で示し、図３（ｃ）では山部２１ｂを細線で示す。下流側にはフィルタ濾材２１を補強するための背板２０ｂが設けられている。フィルタ濾材２１は図４で示すように、最上流側に位置する多孔質なＰＴＦＥ膜２１ｃの下流側に不織布２１ｄを貼り付けることにより構成されている。ＰＴＦＥはポリテトラフルオロエチレンの略である。   FIG. 3 shows the filter unit 20. 3A is a view seen from the upstream side, FIG. 3B is a bottom view, FIG. 3C is a view seen from the downstream side, and FIG. 3D is a side view. It is configured by adhering a filter medium 21 folded in a pleat shape having peaks and valleys to the outer frame 20a. The air flow is indicated by arrow B. In FIG. 3A, the valley 21a is indicated by a thin line, and in FIG. 3C, the peak 21b is indicated by a thin line. A back plate 20b for reinforcing the filter medium 21 is provided on the downstream side. As shown in FIG. 4, the filter medium 21 is configured by attaching a non-woven fabric 21d to the downstream side of the porous PTFE membrane 21c located on the most upstream side. PTFE is an abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene.

外枠２０ａの外枠上下端部２０ｃは山形形状を有し上流側が開口部２０ｄとなり、フィルタユニット２０に捕集された塵埃が外部に落下しやすい構造を有している。図５にフィルタユニット２１を底部から見た図、図６に上流側からみた斜視図、図７に下流側から見た斜視図を示す。   The outer frame upper and lower end 20c of the outer frame 20a has a mountain shape and has an opening 20d on the upstream side, so that dust collected by the filter unit 20 can easily fall to the outside. FIG. 5 is a view of the filter unit 21 as seen from the bottom, FIG. 6 is a perspective view as seen from the upstream side, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view as seen from the downstream side.

動作について述べる。電動送風機１２に通電し電気掃除機１１を駆動すると吸口から塵埃が吸引されメッシュフィルタ１９で粗塵埃が分離され、フィルタユニット２０で細塵が分離され、分離された塵埃は集塵室１４に蓄積される。集塵室１４に塵埃が満たされた場合、あるいはメッシュフィルタ１９、フィルタユニット２０に塵埃が蓄積され圧損が大きくなり充分な吸引力が生じなくなった時は、集塵室１４を掃除機本体１１から外し、開閉蓋１４ａを開き塵埃を取り出す。このときにフィルタユニット２０、メッシュフィルタ１９を外し、メッシュフィルタ１９に付着した塵埃はブラシなどで除去し、フィルタユニット２０は外枠２０ａを軽く叩くなどして衝撃を加えて表面の塵埃を除去する。   The operation will be described. When the electric blower 12 is energized and the vacuum cleaner 11 is driven, dust is sucked from the suction port, coarse dust is separated by the mesh filter 19, fine dust is separated by the filter unit 20, and the separated dust is accumulated in the dust collecting chamber 14. Is done. When the dust collection chamber 14 is filled with dust or when dust accumulates in the mesh filter 19 and the filter unit 20 and the pressure loss increases and sufficient suction force is not generated, the dust collection chamber 14 is removed from the cleaner body 11. Remove the lid 14a and take out the dust. At this time, the filter unit 20 and the mesh filter 19 are removed, dust adhering to the mesh filter 19 is removed with a brush or the like, and the filter unit 20 applies impact to remove dust on the surface by tapping the outer frame 20a. .

フィルタユニット２０の性能としてはより小さな塵埃が捕捉できるかを示す捕集効率の他に、圧損、捕集された塵埃の量に対する圧損の増加率、塵埃が捕集され圧損が増加した状態から振動、衝撃を加え除塵することによる圧損の回復率、あるいは除塵される塵埃と残存する塵埃の比率から評価される除塵性能がある。   As the performance of the filter unit 20, in addition to the collection efficiency indicating whether or not smaller dust can be captured, pressure loss, the rate of increase in pressure loss with respect to the amount of collected dust, and vibration from a state in which dust is collected and pressure loss has increased. In addition, there is a dust removal performance evaluated from a recovery rate of pressure loss by removing dust by applying an impact, or a ratio of dust to be removed and remaining dust.

プリーツに折ったフィルタユニット２０のフィルタ総面積Ｓは、図５で示すプリーツの開き角度θと、図３で示す外枠２０ａのたて寸法ｂと横寸法ａの積で示される外枠２０ａの外枠面積Ｓ１により下記の式から求められる。   The total filter area S of the filter unit 20 folded into pleats is that of the outer frame 20a shown by the product of the opening angle θ of the pleats shown in FIG. 5 and the vertical dimension b and lateral dimension a of the outer frame 20a shown in FIG. The outer frame area S1 is obtained from the following equation.

Ｓ＝Ｓ１／ｓｉｎ（θ／２）
すなわち面積Ｓ１が一定であれば、フィルタ総面積Ｓは開き角度θによって決まる。次に開き角度θと上述した圧損、圧損増加率、除塵性能の関係を述べる。圧損はフィルタ総面積Ｓに反比例するため開き角度θの増加と共に圧損は増える。捕集された塵埃による圧損の増加率はフィルタ総面積Ｓが小さいほど、すなわち開き角度θが大きいほど大きくなる。次に除塵性能の場合は、除塵手段と捕集された塵埃の量、種類によって変わる。除塵手段をフィルタユニット２０の外枠２０ａに衝撃を与え除塵する方法とし、繊維質を主体とした塵埃の場合を考えるとフィルタ濾材２１の表面に積層した塵埃は塵埃同士が絡み合い塊になり、フィルタ濾材２１の表面に塊として付着する。塊状の塵埃がフィルタ濾材２１に付着している付着力はフィルタ総面積Ｓに比例する。このような塊状の塵埃を衝撃により除塵する場合、塵埃が離れる力は慣性力であり塵埃の質量に比例し、一定の塵埃の質量に対しフィルタ総面積Ｓが大きくなると塵埃の塊は離れにくくなる。すなわちフィルタ総面積Ｓが大きくなるすなわち開き角度θが小さくなると除塵性能は悪くなる。 S = S1 / sin (θ / 2)
That is, if the area S1 is constant, the total filter area S is determined by the opening angle θ. Next, the relationship between the opening angle θ and the above-described pressure loss, pressure loss increase rate, and dust removal performance will be described. Since the pressure loss is inversely proportional to the total filter area S, the pressure loss increases as the opening angle θ increases. The increase rate of the pressure loss due to the collected dust increases as the total filter area S decreases, that is, as the opening angle θ increases. Next, in the case of dust removal performance, it varies depending on the dust removal means and the amount and type of collected dust. The dust removing means is a method of removing dust by applying an impact to the outer frame 20a of the filter unit 20, and considering the case of dust mainly composed of fiber, the dust stacked on the surface of the filter medium 21 is entangled and becomes a lump. It adheres as a lump to the surface of the filter medium 21. The adhesion force of the lump-like dust adhering to the filter medium 21 is proportional to the filter total area S. When such a lump of dust is removed by impact, the force that separates the dust is an inertial force, and is proportional to the mass of the dust. When the total filter area S increases with respect to a certain mass of dust, the lump of dust becomes difficult to separate. . That is, when the total filter area S increases, that is, the opening angle θ decreases, the dust removal performance deteriorates.

細かい砂粒のように塵埃同士が固着しにくい性質の塵埃では、衝撃により除塵する際フィルタ濾材２１の表面に積層された塵埃は衝撃により崩れ、フィルタ濾材２１表面に直接付着した塵埃が残る。フィルタ濾材２１表面に付着した塵埃の質量はフィルタ総面積Ｓに比例し、付着力もフィルタ総面積Ｓに比例するため衝撃による塵埃の除塵性能はフィルタ総面積Ｓ、開き角度θに依存しない。このような塵埃同士が固着しにくい性質の塵埃であっても多量が大きな吸引力で吸着された場合は塊になることもあり、このような場合は前述したようにフィルタ総面積Ｓが大きくなるすなわち開き角度θが小さくなると除塵性能は悪くなる。   In the case of dust that is difficult to adhere to each other, such as fine sand particles, when dust is removed by impact, the dust stacked on the surface of the filter medium 21 is broken by the impact, and the dust directly attached to the surface of the filter medium 21 remains. The mass of dust adhering to the surface of the filter medium 21 is proportional to the total filter area S, and the adhesion force is also proportional to the total filter area S. Therefore, the dust removal performance due to impact does not depend on the total filter area S and the opening angle θ. Even if such dust is difficult to adhere to each other, it may become a lump when a large amount is adsorbed with a large suction force. In such a case, the total filter area S increases as described above. That is, as the opening angle θ decreases, the dust removal performance deteriorates.

日本国内の一般的な家庭塵埃は繊維質の成分が多いため、塵埃は塊になりやすく除塵性能はフィルタ総面積Ｓに比例して悪くなる。   Since general domestic dust in Japan has a large amount of fibrous components, dust tends to clump, and the dust removal performance deteriorates in proportion to the total filter area S.

ある一定量の塊になりやすい繊維質を主とした標準的な塵埃の吸引と、その後の衝撃による除塵を繰り返し行った場合の圧損の増加の様子を流量の減少として捉え評価すると図６で示すような傾向をしめす。横軸は塵埃の量と除塵の回数（時機）を示す。縦軸は風量を示す。すなわち一定量の塵埃を連続的に吸引していくと圧損が増加し流量が次第に小さくなっていく。一定量の塵埃を吸引した後電動送風機を停止し、除塵を行った後再び吸引すると圧損が低減し流量が回復する。図８は除塵を６回行った例である。図９に除塵回数がもっと多い場合の流量低下の様子を、開き角度θが大、中、小の場合について示す。開き角度が大の場合を破線で、開き角度が小さい場合を点線で、開き角度が中の場合を点線で示す。各々の２本の線は除塵の前後の状態を示す。開き角度θが大きい場合は塵埃を吸引すると急激に流量が低下するが除塵性能が良いため除塵したあとは流量は殆ど初期に戻る。開き角度θが小さい場合は、一定量の塵埃の吸引に対し風量の低下は鈍いが、除塵性能が悪く初期流量には戻りにくい。ある限界の風量例えば０．８ｍ３／ｍｉｎに至るまでの吸引可能な塵埃量を除塵回数で評価した場合開き角度θが大の場合は除塵回数７５回、開き角度θが小の場合は除塵回数６５回、開き角度θが中の場合は１００回と比べると吸引可能な塵埃量が３５％から２５％程度小さくなる。開き角度θに対する、ある一定風量になるまでに吸引可能な塵埃量すなわち除塵回数をグラフ化すると図１０のようになり、開き角度θは１５度〜３０度の範囲が最も吸引可能な塵埃量、すなわち除塵回数が多く、開き角度θとしての最適値であることが判る。 Fig. 6 shows an evaluation of the increase in pressure loss when repeated suction of standard dust mainly made of fiber that tends to become a certain amount of lump and subsequent dust removal by impact as a decrease in flow rate. It shows a tendency like this. The horizontal axis shows the amount of dust and the number of times of dust removal (time). The vertical axis represents the air volume. That is, when a certain amount of dust is sucked continuously, the pressure loss increases and the flow rate gradually decreases. After sucking a certain amount of dust, the electric blower is stopped, and after dust removal, suctioning again reduces pressure loss and restores the flow rate. FIG. 8 shows an example in which dust removal is performed six times. FIG. 9 shows how the flow rate decreases when the number of times of dust removal is larger when the opening angle θ is large, medium, and small. A case where the opening angle is large is indicated by a broken line, a case where the opening angle is small is indicated by a dotted line, and a case where the opening angle is medium is indicated by a dotted line. Each two lines show the state before and after dust removal. When the opening angle θ is large, when the dust is sucked, the flow rate is suddenly reduced. However, because the dust removal performance is good, the flow rate returns almost to the initial state after the dust is removed. When the opening angle θ is small, the air flow rate is slow to decrease with respect to suction of a certain amount of dust, but the dust removal performance is poor and it is difficult to return to the initial flow rate. When the amount of dust that can be sucked up to a certain air volume, for example, 0.8 m 3 / min is evaluated by the number of dust removal times, the number of dust removal times is 75 when the opening angle θ is large, and the number of dust removals when the opening angle θ is small. When the opening angle θ is 65 times, the amount of dust that can be sucked is reduced by about 35% to 25% compared to 100 times. A graph of the amount of dust that can be sucked up to a certain air volume with respect to the opening angle θ, that is, the number of dust removals, is shown in FIG. 10, and the opening angle θ is the amount of dust that can be sucked most in the range of 15 to 30 degrees, That is, it can be seen that the number of times of dust removal is large and the optimum value as the opening angle θ.

もちろん、塵埃の種類、除塵の回数、間隔、方法などにより最適な開き角度θの範囲は変化するが、実際の掃除機として種々の塵埃、除塵方法などを変え調べた結果、開き角度θが１５度〜３０度の範囲が流量低下を最小に抑えしかも吸引できる集塵量が最も多くなる。   Of course, the range of the optimum opening angle θ varies depending on the type of dust, the number of times of dust removal, the interval, and the method. However, as a result of examining various dusts and dust removing methods as an actual vacuum cleaner, the opening angle θ is 15 The range of from 30 degrees to 30 degrees maximizes the amount of dust that can be sucked while minimizing the decrease in flow rate.

除塵を頻繁に行い、開き角度θをできるだけ大きく設計する考え方もあるが、除塵構成が複雑になる。又、昨今の高吸込み仕事率を実現した電気掃除機はできるだけ損失の小さい構成となるように吸引口１５、フィルタユニット２０、電動送風機１２の吸気口１２ａをほぼ直線的に配置し、直線的に空気流を流しできるだけ損失を増やさないようにしている。５００Ｗ以上の吸込み仕事率を得るには、電動送風機は６００Ｗ以上の出力が必要であり、５００００ｒ／ｍｉｎ程度の回転数では１２０ｍｍ〜１４０ｍｍのファン径が必要になる。できるだけコンパクトな本体構成でできるだけ大きな外枠面積Ｓ１のフィルタユニット２０を意図し設計した場合、フィルタの外枠面積Ｓ１の上限値の目安はファン部の投影面積程度となり１００〜１５０ｃｍ２程度が上限値となる。 Although there is an idea of performing dust removal frequently and designing the opening angle θ as large as possible, the dust removal configuration becomes complicated. Moreover, the vacuum cleaner which realized the high suction work rate these days arrange | positions the suction port 15, the filter unit 20, and the inlet 12a of the electric blower 12 almost linearly so that it may become a structure with as little loss as possible. The air flow is kept from flowing as much as possible. In order to obtain a suction work rate of 500 W or more, the electric blower needs an output of 600 W or more, and a fan diameter of 120 mm to 140 mm is required at a rotational speed of about 50000 r / min. When the filter unit 20 having the largest possible outer frame area S1 is designed with a compact body structure as much as possible, the upper limit value of the outer frame area S1 of the filter is about the projected area of the fan portion, and the upper limit value is about 100 to 150 cm 2. It becomes.

文献（特開２００１−１７０４６１号公報）で示すように、ＰＴＦＥ多孔質膜の圧損は１００Ｐａ程度は必要であり、外枠面積Ｓ１を１００〜１５０ｃｍ２程度とするとフィルタ総面積Ｓは３９０〜１１６０ｃｍ２程度の範囲となり、圧損１００Ｐａ程度のフィルタ濾材２１を使用すると１０〜３０Ｗの損失がフィルタユニット２０として生じる。５００Ｗの仕事率に対し上限の損失である。このことからみても開き角度θを３０度以上に大きくすることはそのフィルタユニット２０の圧損の点から難しく、開き角度θは１５〜３０度が最適である。 As shown in the literature (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-170461), the pressure loss of the PTFE porous membrane needs to be about 100 Pa. When the outer frame area S1 is about 100 to 150 cm 2 , the total filter area S is 390 to 1160 cm 2. When the filter medium 21 having a pressure loss of about 100 Pa is used, a loss of 10 to 30 W is generated as the filter unit 20. This is the upper limit loss for a 500 W work rate. In view of this, it is difficult to increase the opening angle θ to 30 degrees or more from the viewpoint of pressure loss of the filter unit 20, and the opening angle θ is optimally 15 to 30 degrees.

11 and 12 show the configuration of the dust collection chamber 14 of the electric vacuum cleaner according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 shows the dust collection chamber 14 as seen from the downstream side.

集塵室１４の外壁１４ｂに固定されたフィルタユニット２０の下流側面に振動を与え除塵を行う除塵手段３２が設置されている。フィルタユニット２０の下流側面２０ｂに他方からバネ３３で付勢された格子状のちり落とし板３４が当接し設置されている。ちり落とし板３４の中央にはラック歯車３５ａを設けた軸３５が固定されている。上記ラック歯車３５ａと噛み合った平歯車３６は一部分のみに歯切りがされており、集塵室１４の外壁１４ｂに支柱３８で固定された駆動電動機３７の回転軸３７ａに固着されている。フィルタユニット２０はその外枠上部２０ｅが外枠下部２０ｃより上流側に位置するよう前傾させて設置されている。動作としてはある程度の塵埃を吸引し微細塵がフィルタユニット２０の表面に付着蓄積した状態で、吸引を停止した後図１１（ａ）で示すように電動機３７を駆動するとちり落とし板３４が矢印Ｃの方向に移動する。一定距離移動したときラック歯車３５ａと平歯車３６の噛み合いが外れ、図１１（ｂ）で示すようにちり落とし板３４は矢印Ｄの方向にバネの力で瞬時に戻りフィルタユニット２０を叩く。図１３にラック歯車３５ａ付近の拡大図を示す。図１３（ａ）がちり落とし板３４がフィルタユニット２０から離れる様子を、図１３（ｂ）が歯車のかみ合いが外れちり落とし板３４でフィルタユニット２０をたたく様子を示す。電動機３７の回転方向を矢印Ｆで示す。   A dust removing means 32 is provided that vibrates the downstream side surface of the filter unit 20 fixed to the outer wall 14b of the dust collecting chamber 14 and performs dust removal. A lattice-shaped dust drop plate 34 biased by a spring 33 from the other side is in contact with the downstream side surface 20 b of the filter unit 20. A shaft 35 provided with a rack gear 35 a is fixed to the center of the dust drop plate 34. The spur gear 36 meshed with the rack gear 35a is cut into a part, and is fixed to a rotating shaft 37a of a drive motor 37 fixed to the outer wall 14b of the dust collecting chamber 14 by a column 38. The filter unit 20 is installed to be tilted forward so that the outer frame upper portion 20e is positioned upstream of the outer frame lower portion 20c. As an operation, in a state where a certain amount of dust is sucked and fine dust adheres and accumulates on the surface of the filter unit 20, after the suction is stopped, the electric motor 37 is driven as shown in FIG. Move in the direction of. When moved a certain distance, the rack gear 35a and the spur gear 36 are disengaged, and the dust drop plate 34 instantly returns in the direction of arrow D by the spring force and strikes the filter unit 20 as shown in FIG. FIG. 13 shows an enlarged view of the vicinity of the rack gear 35a. FIG. 13A shows a state in which the dust drop plate 34 is separated from the filter unit 20, and FIG. 13B shows a state in which the gears are disengaged and the filter unit 20 is hit with the dust drop plate 34. The direction of rotation of the electric motor 37 is indicated by an arrow F.

このときフィルタユニット２０に衝撃力が加わりフィルタ濾材２１に蓄積された塵埃が慣性力でフィルタ濾材２１の表面から外れ、除塵される。ちり落とし板３４の動きは矢印Ｅで示す吸引される空気の主流の方向と一致している、塵埃がフィルタ濾材２１に付着するための力は空気の主流方向（矢印Ｅ）に働いているためこの逆の方向の力を衝撃的に加えることのできる本発明の構成は塵埃の離脱に適している。又フィルタユニット２０が前傾して設置してあるため塵埃は下方向に落下しやすく、再度吸引した場合の再付着も起こしにくい。又、フィルタ濾材２１の下流側をたたくためフィルタ濾材の耐久性にも問題は無い。   At this time, an impact force is applied to the filter unit 20, and the dust accumulated in the filter medium 21 is removed from the surface of the filter medium 21 by the inertial force and removed. The movement of the dust drop plate 34 coincides with the direction of the main flow of the sucked air indicated by the arrow E, and the force for the dust to adhere to the filter medium 21 works in the main flow direction of the air (arrow E). The configuration of the present invention that can apply the force in the opposite direction in an impact is suitable for the removal of dust. In addition, since the filter unit 20 is installed tilted forward, dust is likely to fall downward, and reattachment is difficult to occur when sucked again. Moreover, since the downstream side of the filter medium 21 is hit, there is no problem in the durability of the filter medium.

電動機３７を連続的に回転させることにより上記の動作が連続的に行われ、フィルタユニット２０を複数回叩くことにより除塵が効率よくできる。   The above operation is continuously performed by continuously rotating the electric motor 37, and dust removal can be efficiently performed by hitting the filter unit 20 a plurality of times.

図１４、図１５はフィルタユニット２０が掃除機本体１１に空気の主流方向（矢印Ｅ）に移動可能に取り付けられた例であり、図１５は集塵室１４の下流側から見た図を示す。集塵室１４に固定されたのフィルタユニット取り付け枠４０の溝部４０ａにフィルタユニット２０を空気の主流方向に摺動可能に取り付けられている。フィルタユニット２０の外枠２０ａは、一端が溝部４０ａの下流側側壁４０ｂに固定されたバネ４１で付勢され、溝部４０ａの上流側側壁４０ｃに当接され設置されている。フィルタユニット２０の外枠２０ａに固着された中央リブ４２にはラック歯車４５ａを設けた軸４５が固定されている。上記ラック歯車４５ａと噛み合った平歯車４６は一部分のみに歯切りがされており、駆動電動機３７の回転軸３７ａに固着されている。動作としては上述した例と同様で、ある程度の塵埃を吸引し微細塵がフィルタユニット２０の表面に付着蓄積した状態で、吸引を停止した後駆動電動機３７を駆動するとフィルタユニットが矢印Ｃの方向に移動し外枠２０ａは溝部４０ａの上流側側壁から離れる。一定距離移動したときラック歯車３５ａと平歯車３６の噛み合いが外れ、フィルタユニット２０は矢印Ｄの方向にバネの力で瞬時に戻り、溝部４０ａの上流側側壁４０ｃに外枠２０ａが打ちつけられ衝撃で塵埃がフィルタ濾材２１から離れ除塵される。この除塵手段３２であればフィルタ濾材２１を痛めることが無く大きな衝撃力を加えることができ除塵性能がさらによくなる。   14 and 15 are examples in which the filter unit 20 is attached to the cleaner body 11 so as to be movable in the main air flow direction (arrow E), and FIG. 15 is a view seen from the downstream side of the dust collection chamber 14. . The filter unit 20 is attached to the groove 40a of the filter unit mounting frame 40 fixed to the dust collecting chamber 14 so as to be slidable in the main air flow direction. One end of the outer frame 20a of the filter unit 20 is urged by a spring 41 fixed to the downstream side wall 40b of the groove 40a, and is placed in contact with the upstream side wall 40c of the groove 40a. A shaft 45 provided with a rack gear 45 a is fixed to the central rib 42 fixed to the outer frame 20 a of the filter unit 20. The spur gear 46 meshed with the rack gear 45 a is geared only in part and is fixed to the rotating shaft 37 a of the drive motor 37. The operation is the same as in the above-described example, and when the suction motor is stopped after the suction is stopped in a state where a certain amount of dust is sucked and fine dust adheres and accumulates on the surface of the filter unit 20, the filter unit moves in the direction of arrow C. The outer frame 20a moves away from the upstream side wall of the groove 40a. The rack gear 35a and the spur gear 36 are disengaged when moved a certain distance, the filter unit 20 returns instantaneously in the direction of arrow D by the force of the spring, and the outer frame 20a is struck against the upstream side wall 40c of the groove 40a. The dust leaves the filter medium 21 and is removed. With this dust removing means 32, a large impact force can be applied without damaging the filter medium 21, and the dust removing performance is further improved.

図１６、１７はフィルタユニット２０が上下摺動可能なように集塵室１４に固定されたフィルタユニット取り付け枠５０に取り付けられた例である。フィルタユニット２０の外枠２０ａの上側面と取り付け枠５０上側側壁５０ａの間に設置されたバネ５１で付勢され下側面に当接している。フィルタユニット２０の中央リブ５２にはラック歯車５２ａが設けられ、電動機３７の回転軸３７ａに固定された平歯車５３に噛み合っている。平歯車５３は一部にのみ歯切りがされている。動作としてはフィルタユニット２０の動きが上下方向になった以外は上述した例と同様であり、電動機３７を駆動するとフィルタユニット２０は矢印Ｇで示すように上方向に移動し外枠２０ａは取り付け枠５０の下側側壁５０ｂから離れる。一定距離はなれた後歯車の噛み合いが外れると、バネ５１の力でフィルタ枠２０ａは矢印Ｈのように下方に瞬時に移動し、取り付け枠５０の下側側壁５０ｂにたたきつけられその衝撃でフィルタ濾材２１表面に付着した塵埃が離れ除塵が行われる。この除塵手段３２ではフィルタ濾材２１に上下方向の衝撃力を与えることができ、塵埃を下方向に落とすことが容易になり、集塵室１４の下方向のフィルタユニット２０から離れた場所に塵埃を落とすことができ吸引力により塵埃がフィルタユニット２０に再付着することが防止できる。   FIGS. 16 and 17 are examples in which the filter unit 20 is attached to a filter unit mounting frame 50 fixed to the dust collecting chamber 14 so that the filter unit 20 can slide up and down. The filter unit 20 is urged by a spring 51 installed between the upper side surface of the outer frame 20a of the filter unit 20 and the upper side wall 50a of the attachment frame 50 and is in contact with the lower side surface. A rack gear 52 a is provided on the central rib 52 of the filter unit 20, and meshes with a spur gear 53 fixed to the rotating shaft 37 a of the electric motor 37. The spur gear 53 is geared only in part. The operation is the same as in the above-described example except that the movement of the filter unit 20 is in the vertical direction. When the motor 37 is driven, the filter unit 20 moves upward as indicated by the arrow G, and the outer frame 20a is attached to the mounting frame. 50 away from the lower side wall 50b. When the gears are disengaged after a certain distance, the filter frame 20a is instantaneously moved downward as indicated by an arrow H by the force of the spring 51, and is struck against the lower side wall 50b of the mounting frame 50. Dust adhering to the surface is released and dust removal is performed. The dust removing means 32 can apply an impact force in the vertical direction to the filter medium 21, and it is easy to drop the dust downward. The dust is removed from the filter unit 20 in the downward direction of the dust collecting chamber 14. It can be dropped and dust can be prevented from reattaching to the filter unit 20 by the suction force.

以上のように本発明によれば、フィルタユニットの塵埃を剥離しやすくし、除塵手段による塵埃の除塵性能を大幅に高めることでメンテナンスを軽減でき、かつ強力な吸い込み力を持続できるため、長時間にわたって電気掃除機の吸い込み性能を維持するのに特に有用である。   As described above, according to the present invention, the dust of the filter unit can be easily peeled off, the dust removal performance by the dust removing means can be greatly enhanced, the maintenance can be reduced, and the strong suction force can be maintained. It is particularly useful for maintaining the vacuuming performance of the vacuum cleaner over time.
