Description

  The present invention relates to an electric razor having a function capable of automatically cleaning an inner blade.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a cleaning brush is incorporated in a razor head, and for example, the brush is swung in conjunction with a slide operation of the main switch to wipe off and remove dust and sebum adhering to the inner blade. It is well known. The present applicant has previously proposed an electric razor that can automatically sterilize and disinfect the interior of the filing chamber by automatically turning on or off the ultraviolet irradiation lamp incorporated in the razor head (patent) Reference 2). In a rotary electric shaver, it is known in Patent Document 3 that cleaning is performed by circumscribing a roll brush to an inner blade.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-40939 (page 2, column 4, lines 11 to 20, line 3) JP 2004-105327 A (paragraph number 0046, FIG. 1) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-7653 (page 1, column 2, lines 18-23, Fig. 1)

  According to the electric razor of Patent Document 1, each time the main switch is turned on, the shavings or sebum adhering to the inner blade can be scraped off with a brush. However, since the wiping range by the brush is limited to a part of the inner blade, the entire surface of the inner blade cannot be cleaned, and the cutting blade surface on the side where the brush does not touch is likely to be stuck. The electric shaver disclosed in Patent Document 2 can automatically sterilize the fuzz chamber by turning on the ultraviolet irradiation lamp after a certain time has elapsed after the main switch is turned off. However, since it is only sterilized by ultraviolet rays, it is inevitable that residues such as sebum will stick to the inner blade if regular cleaning is neglected.

  In the electric razor of Patent Document 3, a roll-shaped brush rotates together with the inner blade during shaving, and shavings and sebum adhering to the inner blade can be scraped off with the brush. However, since the brush is always circumscribed by the inner blade, there is a power loss and the brush is scraped by the inner blade and wears out early.

  The purpose of the present invention is to automatically remove the shavings and sebum adhering to the inner blade each time the electric razor is used, without putting any burden on the user and keeping the inner blade in a good condition. It is intended to provide a rotary electric razor that can reliably prevent fouling and sebum from sticking to the inner blade and ensure sharpness at the next use.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an electric razor equipped with a rotary inner blade that can wipe off and remove dust and sebum adhering to the blade surface while driving the inner blade, and thus can reliably clean the entire surface of the inner blade. It is to provide.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary electric shaver provided with a fully automatic cleaning mechanism capable of automatically displacing a cleaning body in a standby position to an operating position to clean an inner blade. An object of the present invention is to provide an electric razor capable of forcibly shaking off dust, sebum and the like adhering to the surface of the inner blade by the strong earthquake action of the inner blade.

The electric razor of the present invention includes a main body case 1 and a razor head 2, a rotary inner blade 4, a motor 3 that rotationally drives the inner blade 4, a main switch 11 that switches an energization state of the motor 3, and a cleaning element. 21 and an inner blade cleaning body 20 provided with a support frame 22 that supports the cleaning element 21, an operating position where the cleaning element 21 contacts the inner blade 4, and a standby position where the cleaning element 21 is separated from the inner blade 4. An operating mechanism for switching the cleaning body 20 and a control circuit C for controlling the operating state of the electric razor are provided. The control circuit C is configured to start the cutting mode when the main switch 11 is turned on and to start the cleaning mode every time the main switch 11 is turned off. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning body 20 operates the operating mechanism. Thus, the inner blade 4 can be automatically cleaned by the cleaning body 20 by simultaneously driving the motor 3 for a predetermined time . The operation mechanism includes a second motor 28 that can be driven reversibly and a transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the second motor 28 to the cleaning body 20. At the start and end of the cleaning mode, the second motor 28 can be driven forward or backward to automatically switch the cleaning body 20 between the standby position and the operating position.

  The control circuit C can be configured to start the cleaning mode in a state where a predetermined time T has elapsed after the main switch 11 is turned off, and to end the cleaning mode in a state where the predetermined time has elapsed after starting. .

The electric razor of the present invention includes a main body case 1 and a razor head 2, a rotary inner blade 4, a motor 3 that rotationally drives the inner blade 4, a main switch 11 that switches an energization state of the motor 3, and a cleaning element. 21 and an inner blade cleaning body 20 provided with a support frame 22 that supports the cleaning element 21, an operating position where the cleaning element 21 contacts the inner blade 4, and a standby position where the cleaning element 21 is separated from the inner blade 4. An operating mechanism for switching the cleaning body 20 and a control circuit C for controlling the operating state of the electric razor are provided. The control circuit C is configured to start the cutting mode when the main switch 11 is turned on and to start the cleaning mode every time the main switch 11 is turned off. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning body 20 operates the operating mechanism. Thus, the inner blade 4 can be automatically cleaned by the cleaning body 20 by simultaneously driving the motor 3 for a predetermined time. The operating mechanism includes a transmission body 45 that reciprocally moves in conjunction with a switch knob 44 that switches the main switch 11. In conjunction with the off operation of the main switch 11, Ru can switching operation from the standby position to the cleaning member 20 with the transmission member 45 to the operating position.

  The cleaning body 20 includes a support frame 22 and a brush 21 that is rotatably supported by the support frame 22.

  A UV lamp 25 is disposed inside the fuzz chamber 15 and after the cleaning mode is completed, the UV lamp 25 can be lit for a certain period of time so that the inner blade 4 and the foul chamber 15 can be sterilized.

  In the present invention, the cleaning body 20 for cleaning the inner blade 4 is switched between the operating position and the standby position by the operation mechanism. In addition, the control circuit C is configured so that the cleaning mode can be started each time the main switch 11 is turned off. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning body 20 is switched to the operating position by the operation mechanism. The rotary inner blade 4 can be automatically cleaned by the cleaning body 20 by controlling so that can be driven only for a predetermined time. In other words, every time the electric razor is used up, the dust or sebum adhering to the inner blade 4 can be automatically removed by the cleaning body 20. Therefore, according to the electric shaver of the present invention, the inner blade 4 is always kept in a good state without imposing a burden on the user, and the dust and sebum are reliably prevented from sticking to the inner blade 4. Yes, can ensure the sharpness at the next use.

  While the inner blade 4 is driven in the cleaning mode, the dust or sebum adhering to the blade surface is wiped away by the cleaning body 20, so that the entire surface of the inner blade 4 is reliably cleaned and each cutting blade 17 is always good. It is possible to maintain a stable state, and it is possible to more reliably prevent fouling and sebum from sticking to the cutting blade 17. Since the cleaning body 20 is held at the standby position in the cutting mode, the inner blade 4 can be driven without adding extra, and the power consumption of the electric razor in the cutting mode can be reduced accordingly.

  After the main switch 11 is turned off, if the control circuit C is configured so that the cleaning mode can be activated after a predetermined time T has elapsed, after the main switch 11 is turned off, for example, the unshaved beard is removed. Even when the main switch 11 is turned on again for cutting, the operation mode of the electric razor can be prevented from shifting to the cleaning mode, and the cleaning mode can be executed smoothly.

  A reversible driveable second motor 28 and a transmission mechanism that transmits the power to the cleaning body 20 constitute an operation mechanism, and the second motor 28 is driven forward or reversely at the start and end of the cleaning mode. If the cleaning body 20 can be automatically switched between the standby position and the operating position, the electric razor autonomously switches the posture of the cleaning body 20, so that the user can be used for cleaning the inner blade 4. No need to bother your hands. Therefore, the inner blade 4 can always be kept clean regardless of the user's hygiene awareness.

  An operating mechanism is configured by a transmission body 45 that reciprocally moves in conjunction with the switch knob 44, and the cleaning body 20 can be switched from the standby position to the operating position by the transmission body 45 in conjunction with the turning-off operation of the main switch 11. Then, every time the switch knob 44 is operated to end the cutting mode, the cleaning body 20 is switched to the operating posture without the user's awareness, and the inner blade 4 can be cleaned with the cleaning body 20, and the second motor. Compared with the case where a drive source dedicated to the operation mechanism such as 28 is used, the operation mechanism is simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the electric shaver can be reduced correspondingly.

  If the cleaning body 20 is configured by the support frame 22 and the brush 21 rotatably supported by the support frame 22, the inner blade 4 can be cleaned while rotating the brush 21 in the cleaning mode. Compared with the case where the inner blade 4 is cleaned with a rotary cleaning element, the rotational resistance of the inner blade 4 can be reduced, wasteful power consumption can be suppressed, and the brush 21 can be well prevented from wearing out early. .

  After the cleaning mode is finished, the UV lamp 25 is turned on for a certain period of time, and according to the electric razor that can sterilize the inner blade 4 and the fleece chamber 15, the shavings and sebum scraped off from the inner blade 4 The cutting blade 17 cleaned with the brush 21 can be sterilized with ultraviolet rays and maintained in a sanitary state, as well as being sterilized by irradiating it with ultraviolet rays to prevent the generation of a strange odor.

Embodiment 1 FIGS. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of an electric shaver according to the present invention. 1 and 2, the electric razor has a main body case 1 and a razor head 2 provided on the upper portion thereof, and a motor 3 provided inside the main body case 1 is used as a drive source, and the rotational power is used as the razor head. 2 is transmitted through a bevel gear unit 5 (see FIG. 3) and a timing belt 6 to an inner blade 4 provided in 2. In the main body case 1, a secondary battery 7, a circuit board 8 for mounting a control circuit C, and the like are incorporated.

  On the front surface of the main body case 1, there is provided a push button type switch button 9 for switching the energization state of the motor 3. On the back side of the main body case 1, a wrinkle blade unit 10 is provided. The wrinkle blade unit 10 includes a reciprocating blade and is driven by a reciprocating force of a vibrator having a known structure (not shown).

  When the switch button 9 is pushed in, the main switch 11 is turned on and an ON signal is output. Upon receiving this ON signal, the control circuit C activates the motor 3 and rotationally drives the inner blade 4. When the switch button 9 is pushed again, the main switch 11 is turned off, an OFF signal is sent from the main switch 11 to the control circuit C, and the motor 3 is stopped.

  In the razor head 2, a fuzz chamber 15 is defined by a head support frame 13 and an outer blade holder 14 that is detachably attached to the head support frame 13. The cut hair can be temporarily stored in the hair chamber 15. The inner blade 4 is a rotary inner blade that rotates about a horizontal axis, and is formed by embedding and fixing a large number of spiral cutting blades 17 on the peripheral surface of a plastic shaft body. The outer blade 16 attached to the outer blade holder 14 is held in an arch shape by the outer blade holder 13.

  In order to remove the dust and sebum adhering to the inner blade 4, a cleaning body 20 is provided in the interior of the fuzz chamber 15, and the cleaning body is operated by an operating mechanism provided between the main body case 1 and the cleaning body 20. 20 can be switched automatically.

  1 and 3, the cleaning body 20 includes a roller-like brush (cleaning element) 21 and a support frame 22 that rotatably supports both ends of the brush 21. The cleaning body 20 is pivotally supported by a bracket 23 provided on the head support frame 13 and a pin 24 so as to be able to oscillate, so that the cleaning body 20 has an operating position where the brush 21 contacts the inner blade 4 and a brush. 21 can swing back and forth between the standby position where it is separated from the inner blade. A sterilizing UV lamp 25 is arranged inside the fuzz chamber 15 so as to face the swinging locus of the brush 21.

  The operating mechanism includes a second motor 28 that can be rotated reversibly and a transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the second motor 28 to the cleaning body 20. The transmission mechanism includes a worm gear 29 fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 28, a rack 30 that meshes with the worm gear 29, and an operation pin 31 provided at the upper end of the rack 30. The operation pin 31 is connected to one end of the support frame 22 through the elongated hole 32 in the fuzz chamber 15 (see FIG. 1).

  Therefore, when the second motor 28 is driven in the forward rotation direction, the rack 30 is lowered by the worm gear 29, and the cleaning body 20 is swung in the clockwise direction to switch to the operating posture indicated by the solid line. When the second motor 28 is driven in reverse, the rack 30 is lifted by the worm gear 29, so that the cleaning body 20 swings counterclockwise and returns to the standby position indicated by the imaginary line.

  Each time the cutting mode for shaving is completed, the control circuit C automatically switches the operation mode to the cleaning mode and cleans the inner blade 4. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the timer 35 detects that the main switch 11 has been turned off and the cutting mode has ended, and that a predetermined time T has elapsed since the cutting mode ended. To shift to the cleaning mode.

  In the cleaning mode, the control circuit C that has received the timer signal supplies a drive current to the motor 3 via a circuit that bypasses the main switch 11 to drive the inner blade 4 to rotate. By making the drive current at this time a pulse current, the motor 3 can be rotated at a low speed. Thereby, it is possible to achieve both cleaning of the inner blade 4 and prevention of blow-off of the dust from the outer blade 16 during cleaning. Simultaneously with the start of the cleaning mode, a light emitting means such as an indicator lamp (LED) 37 (see FIG. 2) is turned on in order to emit light and sound to indicate that the cleaning mode is in effect, and a sounding means such as a buzzer 38 is continuously turned Or drive intermittently. The pronunciation means may be repeatedly displayed as “Washing” by speech synthesis.

  The control circuit C activates the second motor 28 immediately after activation of the cleaning mode to switch the cleaning body 20 to the operating position and bring the brush 21 into contact with the inner blade 4. The brush 21 circumscribing the inner blade 4 forcibly scrapes off dust and sebum adhering to the cutting blade 17 while rotating in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the inner blade 4. When the timer 35 detects that a certain time has elapsed since the transition to the cleaning mode, the control circuit C ends the cleaning mode.

  Specifically, the control circuit C that has received the timer signal stops energization of the motor 3. Further, the second motor 28 is driven in reverse to return the cleaning body 20 to the standby position, and the brush 21 is separated from the inner blade 4. At the same time as the energization of the second motor 28 is stopped, the energization of the indicator lamp 37 and the buzzer 38 is stopped. When the main switch 11 is turned on during the cleaning mode, the cleaning mode is forcibly ended, the control procedure is reset, and the state is completely stopped. When the main switch 11 is turned on, the cutting mode is started.

  The UV lamp 25 is arranged so as to face the swinging locus of the brush 21. Therefore, when the cleaning body 20 returns to the standby position, the fouling adhered to the surface of the UV lamp 25 with the brush 21 can be removed. Therefore, after the cleaning body 20 is returned to the standby position, that is, when the UV lamp 25 is turned on after the cleaning mode is finished, the inner blade 4 or the fuzz chamber is irradiated with ultraviolet rays without being disturbed by the fuzz. Organic matter such as fuzz and sebum adhering to the inner peripheral surface of 15 can be sterilized.

  At this time, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 5, when the motor 3 is started and the inner blade 4 is slowly rotated, the surfaces of all the cutting blades 17 and the peripheral surface of the shaft body can be sterilized. When a certain time has elapsed, the UV lamp 25 is turned off, the motor 3 is stopped, and the sterilization mode is terminated. As described above, when the sterilization mode is added to the cleaning mode, the sterilization is performed while preventing the sebum and the like from sticking to the inner blade 4, and the inside of the fuzz chamber 15 can be maintained in a sanitary state. The light emitting means and the sounding means that are driven in the cleaning mode can be driven in the sterilization mode following the cleaning mode. Thereby, the attaching / detaching operation of the outer blade holder 14 during sterilization can be suppressed. In addition, if titanium oxide is coated on the inner surfaces of the inner blade 4, the fluff chamber 15, and the outer blade 16, the sterilization effect can be further increased by the photocatalytic action, and the occurrence of deodorization can be prevented.

  As described above, every time the electric razor is used up, the dust or sebum adhering to the inner blade 4 can be automatically wiped and removed by the cleaning body 20 without any burden on the user. The inner blade 4 can always be maintained in a good state. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the dust and sebum from sticking to the inner blade 4 and to ensure the sharpness of the inner blade 4 at the next use.

  In the cleaning mode, the cleaning body 20 in the standby position is automatically displaced to the operating position by the operating mechanism, and the cleaning body 20 is automatically returned from the operating position to the standby position by the operating mechanism. The user's hands are not bothered at all regarding cleaning. Therefore, the inner blade 4 can always be kept clean regardless of the user's hygiene awareness.

(Example 2) FIG. 6 shows Example 2 of an operation mechanism. In this case, the solenoid (second motor) 28 is used as a drive source, and the drive power is transmitted to the cleaning body 20 via the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes an operation shaft 41 connected to the plunger 40 of the solenoid 28, an operation pin 31 provided at the upper end of the operation shaft 41, and a return spring 42 that pushes up and biases the operation shaft 41. As in the previous embodiment, the operation pin 31 is connected to one end of the support frame 22 through the elongated hole 32 in the freckle chamber 15.

  As described above, when the operation mechanism is configured using the solenoid 28 as a drive source, it is not necessary to convert the reciprocating motion of the plunger 40 and the operation shaft 41 can be transmitted to the cleaning body 20 as it is. Simplify. In the state where the solenoid 28 is not operated, the operation shaft 41 is pushed up by the return spring 42, so that the cleaning body 20 maintains the standby posture indicated by the imaginary line. When a drive current is supplied to the solenoid 28, the plunger 40 and the operation shaft 41 descend against the elasticity of the return spring 42, so that the cleaning body 20 can be switched to the operating posture shown by the solid line. Since others are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same members, and descriptions thereof are omitted. The same applies to the following embodiments.

Example 3 FIG. 7 shows Example 3 of the operation mechanism. In this case, the main switch 11 can be turned on and off by a switch knob 44 that can be slid up and down, and the cleaning body 20 is moved by a transmission rod (transmission body) 45 that reciprocates in conjunction with the vertical slide operation of the switch knob 44. Enabled switching from the standby position to the operating position. The switch knob 44 is provided with a moderation mechanism and can self-hold each switching position between the on position and the off position. An operation pin 46 is provided at the upper end of the transmission rod 45, and this operation pin 46 is connected to one end of the support frame 22 through the elongated hole 32 in the freckle chamber 15, whereby the cleaning body 20 is switched to the switch knob 44. Can be switched in conjunction with the up / down slide operation. Also in this embodiment, the basic control method is the same as that of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, and after the main switch 11 is turned off, the motor 3 is driven for a predetermined time after a predetermined time T has elapsed by the timer 35, Automatic cleaning can be performed every time after cutting. The same applies to the following embodiments.

(Example 4) FIG. 8 shows Example 4 of the electric shaver provided with the reciprocating type inner blade 4. FIG. There, the rotational power of the motor 3 is converted into reciprocating power by a vibrator 51 provided in the head frame 13, and the inner blade 4 formed of a slit blade is reciprocated in the left-right direction. The inner blade 4 bent in an inverted U shape is fixed to the inner blade support base 52 so as not to be freely movable. The inner blade support base 52 is connected to the drive shaft 53 of the vibrator 51 so as to be able to move together. A piezo element (vibration source) 54 is fixed inside the inner blade support base 52 in order to clean this type of inner blade 4 with the outer blade 16 in close contact with the outer surface thereof.

  After a predetermined time T has passed after the end of the cutting mode, the piezo element 54 is vibrated at a frequency in the ultrasonic region so that the fouling and sebum adhering to the surface of the inner blade 4 and the small blade can be obtained. Forcibly peel off. At this time, the piezo element 54 can be intermittently vibrated at regular intervals. In the cleaning method of this embodiment, since the piezo element 54 can be cleaned only by operating for a short time, the piezo element 54 can be driven simultaneously with the end of the cutting mode. After the cleaning mode is finished, the cutting mode is started, so that the fluff is screened off into the fluff chamber 15 by the large vibration of the vibrator 51. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning effect is enhanced by immersing the razor head 2 in water or flowing running water.

(Example 5) As a cleaning method in which the inner blade 4 is vibrated to forcibly shake off the dust and sebum, the driving speed of the motor 3 in the cleaning mode is set to the driving speed at the time of normal whisker cutting. It is possible to take a form in which the number of reciprocating vibrations of the inner blade 4 per unit time is increased sufficiently. In particular, in the case of an electric razor using a linear motor as a drive source, the inner blade 4 can be vibrated strongly by setting the drive frequency of the linear motor large.

Example 6 FIGS. 9 and 10 show Example 6 of the operation mechanism. In this case, as in the third embodiment, the cleaning rod 20 is switched from the standby position to the operating position with a transmission rod (transmission body) 45 that reciprocates in conjunction with the up / down sliding operation of the switch knob 44. This is different from the third embodiment. The cleaning body 20 is pivotally supported by the bracket 23 and the pin 24 so as to be swingable, and the support frame 22 is swingingly biased toward the standby position by the tension spring 57. Interlocking claws 58 and 59 project from the upper end of the transmission rod (transmission body) 45 and one end of the support frame 22, respectively.

  When the switch knob 44 is switched from the off position to the on position, the interlocking claw 58 provided on the transmission rod 45 moves upward while getting over the interlocking claw 59 on the support frame 22 side. When the switch knob 44 is switched from the on position to the off position, the interlocking claw 58 on the transmission rod 45 side contacts the interlocking claw 59 on the support frame 22 side, and the cleaning body 20 resists the spring force of the tension spring 57. While switching from the standby position to the operating position.

  At this time, since the arm length from the pin 24 to the protruding end of the interlocking claw 59 is sufficiently smaller than the arm length between the pin 24 and the center of the brush 21, the switch knob 44 is switched to the off position. In FIG. 10, the brush 21 contacts the inner blade 4 as shown in FIG. In other words, before the main switch 11 is turned off, the brush 21 comes into contact with the inner blade 4, and the brush 21 comes into contact with the inner blade 4 in a rotationally driven state to clean the cutting blade 17. it can. That is, every time the electric razor is used, the dust or sebum adhering to the inner blade 4 can be automatically wiped away by the cleaning body 20, and the control circuit C is required for switching the cleaning body 20. do not do.

  In addition to the above, the cleaning element 21 does not need to be formed in a roller shape, and is a flat brush supported non-rotatably by the support frame 22 or a wiping sheet in which a small cut is made at the contact edge of a belt-like tough sheet. It may be formed. The inner blade 4 can be cleaned while the piezo element 54 is incorporated into the support frame 22 of the cleaning body 20 and the cleaning body 20 is vibrated by the piezo element 54.
