This operation button 136 is disposed in the vicinity of one base end portion 123a of the cup gripping portion 123, and slides in one direction (one base end portion 123a side) along the shape of the cup gripping portion 123. It is possible to move. Further, the operation button 136 is exposed from the cup gripping portion 123 when the cup gripping portion 123 is in the gripping state, and between the upper lid portion 82 and the cup gripping portion 123 when the cup gripping portion 123 is in the retracted state. It is configured to be covered and not operable.

また、底蓋83は、後部がカップ本体部81の後部の下端に形成された軸受部134，134に回動可能に軸支されており、前部が係止手段135によってカップ本体部81に係止されている。この係止手段135は、例えばカップ把持部123に配置された操作ボタン136を操作することにより、底蓋83の係止を解除することで、底蓋83が自重により回動して廃棄開口87を開くように構成されている。   The bottom lid 83 is pivotally supported by bearings 134 and 134 formed at the lower end of the rear part of the cup main body 81 at the rear, and the front is fixed to the cup main body 81 by the locking means 135. It is locked. For example, the locking means 135 is operated by operating the operation button 136 disposed on the cup gripping portion 123 to release the locking of the bottom lid 83, so that the bottom lid 83 is rotated by its own weight, and the disposal opening 87 Is configured to open.

次に、上記一実施形態の動作を説明する。   Next, the operation of the one embodiment will be described.

まず、掃除作業の前準備として、集塵カップ26を掃除機本体13の取付部33に取り付ける。   First, as a preparation for cleaning work, the dust collection cup 26 is attached to the attachment portion 33 of the cleaner body 13.

このとき、集塵カップ26は、係止手段135により底蓋83をカップ本体部81に係止して廃棄開口87を閉じた状態とするとともに、カップ本体部81の上部に旋回分離部88および二次フィルタ部89を取り付けた状態とする。   At this time, the dust collecting cup 26 is in a state in which the bottom lid 83 is locked to the cup main body 81 by the locking means 135 to close the disposal opening 87, and the swivel separating unit 88 and the upper part of the cup main body 81 are disposed. Assume that the secondary filter unit 89 is attached.

そして、上蓋部82に対して回動させて把持状態に起こしたカップ把持部123を把持し、集塵カップ26のカップ本体部81の下部を取付開口76から挿入し、下方へと押し下げて、集塵カップ26の下部の底蓋83およびカップ本体部81の下端近傍を取付部33の凹部66に嵌合させて、集塵カップ26を掃除機本体13の本体ケース25に固定する。この状態で、集塵カップ26の吸込開口部85と壁部34の吸込口72とが密着して気密に接続されるとともに、集塵カップ26の排気開口部122と本体部32の開口部47とが密着して気密に接続される。この後、使用者は、図２に示す把持状態から、図１に示す収納状態へと、カップ把持部123を回動させて倒す。   Then, gripping the cup gripping part 123 that is rotated with respect to the upper lid part 82 and raised to the gripping state, inserting the lower part of the cup body part 81 of the dust collecting cup 26 from the mounting opening 76, and pressing down, The bottom lid 83 at the bottom of the dust collection cup 26 and the vicinity of the lower end of the cup body 81 are fitted into the recess 66 of the mounting portion 33, and the dust collection cup 26 is fixed to the body case 25 of the cleaner body 13. In this state, the suction opening 85 of the dust collection cup 26 and the suction opening 72 of the wall 34 are in close contact with each other and are airtightly connected, and the exhaust opening 122 of the dust collection cup 26 and the opening 47 of the main body 32. Are closely connected and airtight. Thereafter, the user turns and holds the cup gripping portion 123 from the gripping state shown in FIG. 2 to the storage state shown in FIG.

このとき、カップ把持部123の突出部123c，123cがハンドル35の両側から突出する係脱体78，78の当接部78a，78aに当接することにより、係脱体78，78が被軸支部78c，78cを中心として付勢に抗して回動し、係脱体78，78の係止部78b，78bが下側開口79b，79bから突出して、これら下側開口79b，79bに対向する集塵カップ26の係止凹部124，124内に挿入されることで、係脱機構77によって集塵カップ26が掃除機本体13の本体ケース25に係止固定される。また、カップ把持部123により操作ボタン136が覆われ、この操作ボタン136が外部から操作できなくなる。さらに、集塵カップ26のカップ本体部81の両側部が露出口69から掃除機本体13の側部に露出する。   At this time, the protrusions 123c and 123c of the cup gripping portion 123 abut against the abutment portions 78a and 78a of the engagement and disengagement bodies 78 and 78 protruding from both sides of the handle 35, so that the engagement and disengagement bodies 78 and 78 are pivoted. Rotating against the bias about 78c, 78c, the locking portions 78b, 78b of the engagement / disengagement bodies 78, 78 project from the lower openings 79b, 79b and face the lower openings 79b, 79b. The dust collecting cup 26 is locked and fixed to the main body case 25 of the cleaner main body 13 by the engagement / disengagement mechanism 77 by being inserted into the locking recesses 124 and 124 of the dust collecting cup 26. Further, the operation button 136 is covered by the cup gripping portion 123, and the operation button 136 cannot be operated from the outside. Further, both sides of the cup body 81 of the dust collection cup 26 are exposed to the side of the cleaner body 13 through the exposure port 69.

さらに、使用者は、管部12の接続管部15を本体吸込口71に接続するとともに、必要に応じてホース体16の先端側の手元操作部17に延長管18を接続し、さらに、延長管18の先端側に床ブラシ19を接続する。   Further, the user connects the connecting pipe part 15 of the pipe part 12 to the main body suction port 71, and connects the extension pipe 18 to the hand operating part 17 on the distal end side of the hose body 16 as necessary. A floor brush 19 is connected to the tip side of the tube 18.

なお、上記の一連の作業は、集塵カップ26が予め取付部33に取り付けられ、管部12が予め本体吸込口71に接続されている場合には不要である。   The series of operations described above is not necessary when the dust collection cup 26 is attached to the attachment portion 33 in advance and the pipe portion 12 is connected to the main body suction port 71 in advance.

そして、使用者は電源コードを本体ケース25から引き出して壁面などの図示しないコンセントに接続した後、把持部21を把持し、所望の設定ボタン22を操作する。制御手段36は、この設定ボタン22の操作に対応した動作モード(強モード、中モード、弱モードなど)で電動送風機31を駆動させる。   Then, after the user pulls the power cord from the main body case 25 and connects it to an outlet (not shown) such as a wall surface, the user grips the grip portion 21 and operates a desired setting button 22. The control means 36 drives the electric blower 31 in an operation mode (strong mode, medium mode, weak mode, etc.) corresponding to the operation of the setting button 22.

この電動送風機31の駆動により生じた負圧は、風路部54、開口部47および排気開口部122を介して集塵カップ26に作用し、この集塵カップ26の吸込開口部85から吸込口72、本体吸込口71を介して管部12に作用する。そして、使用者は、床ブラシ19などを被掃除面上で前後に移動させることで、負圧の作用によって塵埃を空気とともに吸い込む。   The negative pressure generated by driving the electric blower 31 acts on the dust collection cup 26 via the air passage portion 54, the opening 47 and the exhaust opening 122, and the suction opening 85 from the suction opening 85 of the dust collection cup 26 72, acting on the tube portion 12 via the main body inlet 71. Then, the user moves the floor brush 19 and the like back and forth on the surface to be cleaned, and sucks dust together with air by the action of negative pressure.

この含塵空気は、管部12から本体吸込口71、吸込口72および吸込開口部85を介して集塵カップ26のカップ本体部81内へと流入する。このとき、整流部93によって整流されることにより、含塵空気はカップ本体部81の内周面に沿って分離本体96の外周を旋回することで、比較的大きい塵埃である綿ごみなどの粗塵が遠心分離されてカップ本体部81の内部に捕集される。   The dust-containing air flows from the pipe portion 12 into the cup main body 81 of the dust collecting cup 26 through the main body suction port 71, the suction port 72, and the suction opening 85. At this time, by rectifying by the rectifying unit 93, the dust-containing air swirls around the outer periphery of the separation main body 96 along the inner peripheral surface of the cup main body 81, so that coarse dust such as cotton dust, which is relatively large dust, The dust is centrifuged and collected in the cup body 81.

この粗塵が分離された含塵空気は、通気開口97から旋回分離部88内へと吸い込まれる。このとき、通気開口97に取り付けられたフィルタ98により比較的小さい塵埃である細塵が捕集される。   The dust-containing air from which the coarse dust has been separated is sucked into the swirl separation unit 88 from the ventilation opening 97. At this time, fine dust, which is relatively small dust, is collected by the filter 98 attached to the ventilation opening 97.

さらに、含塵空気は、旋回分離部88内を上方へと通過し、二次フィルタ116を通過する際に、さらに小さい塵埃である微細塵が捕集される。この段階で、含塵空気中の塵埃は略全てが集塵カップ26内に捕集される。   Furthermore, when the dust-containing air passes upward through the swivel separation unit 88 and passes through the secondary filter 116, fine dust, which is even smaller dust, is collected. At this stage, almost all dust in the dust-containing air is collected in the dust collection cup 26.

この後、空気は風路121を通過し、排気開口部122から開口部47を介して風路部54へと流入し、整流されつつ風路部54を通過して電動送風機31へと吸い込まれる。   Thereafter, the air passes through the air passage 121, flows into the air passage portion 54 from the exhaust opening 122 through the opening portion 47, passes through the air passage portion 54 while being rectified, and is sucked into the electric blower 31. .

そして、電動送風機31に吸い込まれた空気は、この電動送風機31の内部を通過して排気風となり、電動送風機31の外部へと排気された後、排気口43を介して本体ケース25の外部へと排気される。   Then, the air sucked into the electric blower 31 passes through the inside of the electric blower 31 to become exhaust air and is exhausted to the outside of the electric blower 31 and then to the outside of the main body case 25 through the exhaust port 43. And exhausted.

掃除が終了したときには、使用者が停止用の設定ボタン22を操作すると、制御手段36が電動送風機31を停止させる。   When cleaning is completed, the control unit 36 stops the electric blower 31 when the user operates the setting button 22 for stopping.

また、例えば使用者が集塵カップ26を目視して、所定量以上の塵埃が溜まったと判断したときには、集塵カップ26のカップ把持部123を上蓋部82に対して回動させて把持状態に起こすと、各突出部123c，123cと係脱体78，78の当接部78a，78aとの当接が解除されるため、係脱体78，78が付勢手段の付勢によって復帰するように回動し、係止部78b，78bが下側開口79b，79b内へと退避して係止凹部124，124から外れることで、係脱機構77による集塵カップ26の掃除機本体13の本体ケース25への固定が解除され、このカップ把持部123を把持して集塵カップ26を取付開口76から上方へと引き抜くことで掃除機本体13の本体ケース25から取り外す。そして、この集塵カップ26をごみ箱などの廃棄場所へと運んだ後、操作ボタン136を操作することにより係止手段135による底蓋83の係止を解除して、カップ本体部81の内部に捕集した塵埃を廃棄開口87から廃棄する。   Further, for example, when the user visually observes the dust collecting cup 26 and determines that a predetermined amount or more of dust has accumulated, the cup gripping portion 123 of the dust collecting cup 26 is rotated with respect to the upper lid portion 82 to be in the gripping state. When this happens, the contact between the projecting parts 123c and 123c and the contact parts 78a and 78a of the engaging and disengaging bodies 78 and 78 is released, so that the engaging and disengaging bodies 78 and 78 are restored by the urging force of the urging means. And the locking portions 78b and 78b are retracted into the lower openings 79b and 79b and disengaged from the locking recesses 124 and 124, so that the cleaner main body 13 of the dust collecting cup 26 by the engagement / disengagement mechanism 77 is removed. The fixing to the main body case 25 is released, and the dust collecting cup 26 is pulled out from the mounting opening 76 by grasping the cup gripping portion 123 and removed from the main body case 25 of the cleaner body 13. Then, after transporting the dust collecting cup 26 to a disposal place such as a trash can, the operation button 136 is operated to release the locking of the bottom lid 83 by the locking means 135, and the cup body 81 is moved inside. The collected dust is discarded from the disposal opening 87.

以上説明した一実施形態によれば、カップ把持部123を収納状態とすることにより集塵カップ26を掃除機本体13に対して固定し、カップ把持部123を把持状態とすることにより集塵カップ26の掃除機本体13に対する固定を解除する係脱機構77を備えることで、カップ把持部123の状態と係脱機構77の動作とが別個である従来例の構成と比較して、カップ把持部123の状態の変化に係脱機構77を連動させて、集塵カップ26の掃除機本体13への着脱の作業性を向上できる。また、カップ把持部123は掃除機本体13の上部に位置するので、使用者が、ハンドル35ではなくカップ把持部123を誤って用いて掃除機本体13を持ち上げようとすることが考えられるものの、この場合でも、カップ把持部123を把持状態として持ち上げると、集塵カップ26が掃除機本体13から確実に外れるので、カップ把持部123により掃除機本体13を誤って持ち上げることがない。   According to the embodiment described above, the dust collection cup 26 is fixed to the cleaner body 13 by setting the cup gripping portion 123 in the retracted state, and the dust collection cup is set by holding the cup gripping portion 123 in the gripping state. Compared with the configuration of the conventional example in which the state of the cup gripping portion 123 and the operation of the locking / disengaging mechanism 77 are different by including the engagement / disengagement mechanism 77 for releasing the fixing of the 26 to the vacuum cleaner body 13 By linking the engagement / disengagement mechanism 77 with the change in the state of 123, the workability of attaching / detaching the dust collecting cup 26 to / from the cleaner body 13 can be improved. In addition, since the cup gripping part 123 is located at the upper part of the cleaner body 13, although the user may mistakenly use the cup gripping part 123 instead of the handle 35 to lift the cleaner body 13, Even in this case, when the cup gripping portion 123 is lifted in the gripping state, the dust collecting cup 26 is surely detached from the cleaner main body 13, so that the cleaner main body 13 is not lifted accidentally by the cup gripping portion 123.

また、カップ把持部123は、回動により収納状態と把持状態とに可変するので、カップ把持部123を収納状態とすることにより集塵カップ26を掃除機本体13に対して固定し、カップ把持部123を把持状態とすることにより集塵カップ26の掃除機本体13に対する固定を解除する構成を簡単に形成できるとともに、収納状態としたときにはカップ把持部123が集塵カップ26側である上蓋部82に対して略面一となるので、見栄えがよい。   Further, since the cup gripping portion 123 can be changed between a storage state and a gripping state by rotating, the dust collection cup 26 is fixed to the cleaner body 13 by setting the cup gripping portion 123 to the storage state, and the cup gripping is performed. The structure that releases the fixation of the dust collecting cup 26 to the cleaner body 13 can be easily formed by setting the portion 123 to the gripping state, and the upper lid portion where the cup gripping portion 123 is on the dust collecting cup 26 side when in the storage state Because it is almost the same as 82, it looks good.

さらに、係脱機構77を、カップ把持部123が把持状態で集塵カップ26が掃除機本体13に取り付けられた状態でカップ把持部123の基端部123a近傍の突出部123cと当接する当接部78aと、この当接部78aと突出部123cとの当接に連動して突出し集塵カップ26の係止凹部124に係合することでこの集塵カップ26を掃除機本体13に固定する係止部78bとにより構成することで、集塵カップ26をカップ把持部123の回動軸となる基端部123a近傍で固定できるので、集塵カップ26を、より安定的に固定できるとともに、カップ把持部123を収納状態とするだけで、両基端部123a，123aの近傍で集塵カップ26を左右同時に固定でき、カップ把持部123を把持状態とするだけで、集塵カップ26の左右の固定を同時に解除でき、操作性が良好である。   Further, the engagement / disengagement mechanism 77 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 123c in the vicinity of the base end portion 123a of the cup gripping portion 123 in a state where the cup gripping portion 123 is gripped and the dust collecting cup 26 is attached to the cleaner body 13. The dust collection cup 26 is fixed to the vacuum cleaner main body 13 by projecting in conjunction with the contact between the contact portion 78a and the contact portion 78a and the projecting portion 123c and engaging with the locking recess 124 of the dust collection cup 26. By configuring with the locking portion 78b, the dust collection cup 26 can be fixed in the vicinity of the base end portion 123a serving as the rotation axis of the cup gripping portion 123, so that the dust collection cup 26 can be fixed more stably, The dust collection cup 26 can be fixed at the same time in the vicinity of both base end portions 123a and 123a only by putting the cup gripping portion 123 in the retracted state. Can be released simultaneously, and operability is good.
