Description

本発明は、回転ブラシを有する電気掃除機の吸込具に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a suction tool for a vacuum cleaner having a rotating brush.

一般に、回転ブラシを有する電気掃除機の吸込具は、吸引口本体の下面に吸塵用の開口を設け、その開口から突出させた回転ブラシを回転駆動することによって床やじゅうたんなどの被掃除面から塵埃を掻き出し、吸引口本体の中央に配置している吸引口から吸引する構造となっている。回転ブラシは、駆動モーターや、吸引風を利用するタービン翼の回転駆動源よりベルトを介して回転駆動している。また、昨今の吸込具は、掃除の操作性を向上させるために、回転ブラシの回転方向を、吸込具が前進する方向に回転する向きとなっている。また、別の例として、回転ブラシによる塵埃の掻き出し性を向上させるために、掃除機本体の吸引用電動送風機から発生する排気風を吸込具まで循環させ、回転ブラシの前方に設けた噴気口より回転ブラシに向かって吹出すことで、塵埃の掻き出し性の向上を図ったものも見られる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Generally, the suction tool of a vacuum cleaner having a rotating brush is provided with an opening for dust absorption on the lower surface of the suction port body, and dust is removed from the surface to be cleaned such as floor and carpet by rotating the rotating brush protruding from the opening. Is sucked out from the suction port disposed in the center of the suction port body. The rotary brush is rotationally driven via a belt from a drive motor or a rotational drive source of a turbine blade that uses suction air. Further, in recent suction tools, in order to improve the operability of cleaning, the rotation direction of the rotating brush is rotated in the direction in which the suction tool moves forward. As another example, in order to improve the dust scraping performance by the rotating brush, the exhaust air generated from the suction electric blower of the vacuum cleaner body is circulated to the suction tool, and the nozzle is provided at the front of the rotating brush. There is also an example in which the dust scraping performance is improved by blowing toward the rotating brush (for example, see Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、従来の構成において、吸引口は回転ブラシを収納しているブラシ収納室の中央に配置しており、その開口幅は回転ブラシの幅に対して1/4程度であり、吸引口の両側は壁面なっている。そして回転ブラシは、後方の吸引口および吸引口両側の壁面に向かって塵埃を掻き出す方向に回転しているため、掻き出した塵埃は、そのブラシ回転からくる弾き力によって、後方へ直線的に掻き飛ばされ、そのほとんどが吸引口両側の壁面に衝突し跳ね返ってしまい、回転ブラシと吸引口両側の壁面との隙間で乱れた動きとなっており、その乱れ動いている間に吸込具は前方へと進んでしまうため、回転ブラシで掻き出した塵埃を吸引口から確実に吸塵できず、吸引残りとなることがあった。   However, in the conventional configuration, the suction port is arranged at the center of the brush storage chamber storing the rotary brush, and the opening width is about 1/4 with respect to the width of the rotary brush. Is a wall. The rotating brush rotates in the direction of scraping dust toward the rear suction port and the wall surfaces on both sides of the suction port. Most of them collide with the wall surfaces on both sides of the suction port and bounce back, and the movement is disturbed by the gap between the rotating brush and the wall surface on both sides of the suction port. Therefore, the dust scraped by the rotating brush cannot be reliably sucked from the suction port, and the suction remains.

また、吸引具の両側の回転ブラシ付近には、通常、切り欠き部を設けており、横からの吸込みにも対応した構成となっているが、被掃除面と接した際、この切り欠き部から入ってくる吸引風では、上述の弾き飛ばされて乱れ動く塵埃を吸引口まで輸送する効果は充分ではなかった。   In addition, a notch is usually provided near the rotating brush on both sides of the suction tool, and it is configured to accommodate suction from the side, but this notch is in contact with the surface to be cleaned. The suction wind that enters from the above has not been sufficient to transport the above-mentioned blasted and turbulent dust to the suction port.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するもので、回転ブラシで掻き出した塵埃を確実に吸引口から吸塵できるようにした電気掃除機用の吸込具を提供する。   This invention solves the said conventional subject, and provides the suction tool for vacuum cleaners which enabled it to suck the dust scraped off with the rotating brush reliably from a suction opening.

Further, between the rotary brush storage chamber 12 and the suction port 13, there is formed a flow path body 21 defined by the rotary brush storage chamber 12, the suction port 13, and the wall surfaces 20 on both sides of the suction port. The path body 21 forms a space having a width of about 10 mm.

この流路体21の両端には、吹出し風を吸引口13に向かって、回転ブラシ11の長手方向と略平行に射出する吹出口22を設けた吹出管23を配置しており、この吹出管23には、掃除機本体に内蔵している電動送風機とは別の送風機24に配管25を通して連結している。そして、この送風機24の空気取り入れ口は、吸込具本体2の上ケース4の上部に配置しており、送風機24の空気導入口26は吸込具本体2に対して上方に開口した開口部27と連結させている。   At both ends of the flow passage body 21, there are arranged blow pipes 23 provided with blow outlets 22 for injecting blow air toward the suction port 13 substantially in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the rotary brush 11. 23 is connected through a pipe 25 to a blower 24 different from the electric blower built in the cleaner body. And the air intake port of this air blower 24 is arrange | positioned at the upper part of the upper case 4 of the suction tool main body 2, and the air introduction port 26 of the air blower 24 has the opening part 27 opened upwards with respect to the suction tool main body 2. It is connected.

また、開口部27は、吸込具本体2の長手方向に平行にしてスリット状に開口した形状であり、その間口には、回動自在のシャッター28を設け、送風機24が空気を取り入れないときはバネによって閉じる方向に付勢させている。   Moreover, the opening part 27 is the shape opened in the slit shape in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the suction tool main body 2, and when the air blower 24 does not take in air, the rotatable shutter 28 is provided in the front opening. The spring is biased in the closing direction.

次に、流路体21の構成、およびその作用について説明する。   Next, the structure of the flow path body 21 and its effect | action are demonstrated.

図に示すように、流路体21は、回転ブラシ11と吸引口13の両側との壁面20との間で、その長手方向にほぼ一様な幅で両端から吸引口13向かって区画形成させた空間であって、その流路体21の両側に設けた吹出管23の吹出口22は、吹出し風の射出流れが吸引口13に向くように開口角度、および、開口間口面積を設定している。また、吹出口22は、流路体21の上下方向の空間位置に対して、被掃除面側に近い高さに配置している。   As shown in the figure, the flow path body 21 is partitioned between the rotating brush 11 and the wall surfaces 20 on both sides of the suction port 13 with a substantially uniform width in the longitudinal direction from both ends toward the suction port 13. The outlet 22 of the outlet pipe 23 provided on both sides of the flow path body 21 is set with an opening angle and an opening front area so that the injection flow of the blowing air faces the suction port 13. Yes. Moreover, the blower outlet 22 is arrange | positioned with respect to the to-be-cleaned surface side with respect to the space position of the up-down direction of the flow-path body 21. FIG.

回転ブラシ11の回転により、毛ブラシ14は被掃除面とたわみながら被掃除面上の塵埃を掻き出し、掻き出された塵埃は、その毛ブラシ14からの反発力によって、その後方に位置する吸引口両側の壁面20に向かって流路体21を横断するように弾き飛ばされ、その一部は、吸引口両側の壁面20に衝突する(図3)。   The rotation of the rotary brush 11 causes the bristle brush 14 to scrape dust on the surface to be cleaned while bending with the surface to be cleaned. It is blown off so as to cross the flow path body 21 toward the wall surfaces 20 on both sides, and a part of them is collided with the wall surfaces 20 on both sides of the suction port (FIG. 3).

そして、図4に示すように、流路体21の両側に設けた吹出口22より吹出し風を射出
することよって、回転ブラシ11によって掻き出された塵埃、および弾き飛ばされて吸引口両側の壁面20に衝突して跳ね返った塵埃を、掃除機本体の電動送風機によって発生する吸引風とは別に、この吹出し風の流れに乗せて吸引口13まで強制的に空気輸送し、その後、吸引口13より吸塵するという作用が働く。また、送風機24の空気取り入れ口を吸込具本体の上面に設けているため、吸込具1の上方を漂う埃を吸引することができる。
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the dust blown out by the rotating brush 11 and the wall surfaces on both sides of the suction port are blown off by injecting the blowing air from the air outlets 22 provided on both sides of the flow path body 21. The dust that bounces off when it collides with the air 20 is forcibly pneumatically transported to the suction port 13 on the flow of the blowing air separately from the suction air generated by the electric blower of the main body of the cleaner. The action of sucking dust works. Moreover, since the air intake port of the blower 24 is provided on the upper surface of the suction tool main body, dust floating above the suction tool 1 can be sucked.

本実施の形態では、送風機24を吸込具本体2内に配置構成しているが、延長管、もしくはホース先端のハンドル部分に設け、吸込具1とは、連結配管を通して吹出し風を流す構成としてもよい。この場合、吸込具1を外せば、サッシの溝など、吸引口の先端が入らないような凹凸箇所の塵埃を、一旦、吹き飛ばしてから吸引するという別の掃除動作が可能となる。   In the present embodiment, the blower 24 is arranged and configured in the suction tool main body 2, but it may be provided on the extension pipe or the handle portion at the tip of the hose, and the suction tool 1 may be configured to flow the blowing air through the connection pipe. Good. In this case, if the suction tool 1 is removed, another cleaning operation can be performed in which dust at uneven portions where the tip of the suction port does not enter, such as a sash groove, is blown once and then sucked.

ここで、吹出口22からは約25〜40L/minの流量の吹出し風を排出しており、流速は約8〜13m/secの速度で射出している。また、図5、図6に示す、吸込具本体2の下ケース5と被掃除面との間には、吸引風を流入させるために設けた隙間29、及び切り欠き部30を吸込具本体2の前方、および両側に設けており、前方の隙間29からは約900L/minの流量が流入し、さらに吸込具本体の両側の切り欠き部30からは約60〜300L/minの流量が吸引され、その流速は各々、約13m/secとなっている。   Here, the blowout air of the flow volume of about 25-40 L / min is discharged | emitted from the blower outlet 22, and the flow velocity injects at the speed | rate of about 8-13 m / sec. Moreover, the clearance gap 29 provided in order to make suction | inhalation air flow in between the lower case 5 and the to-be-cleaned surface of the suction tool main body 2 shown to FIG. 5, FIG. The flow rate of about 900 L / min flows from the front gap 29 and the flow rate of about 60 to 300 L / min is sucked from the notch portions 30 on both sides of the suction tool body. The flow velocity is about 13 m / sec.

上述した吹出し風の射出流量、および射出速度は、吸込具本体2の下ケース5と被掃除面との隙間から流入する吸引風と比べ、小さい値であるが、吸込具本体2の下方周囲の隙間から流入する吸引風は、その入口では、上述した流速で直線的に侵入してくるが、回転ブラシ収納室12、ならびに流路体21の拡がった空間に入った瞬間、その流れは急激に拡大するため、一挙に、その流速が減じてしまう。   The injection flow rate and the injection speed of the blowing air described above are smaller values than the suction air flowing from the gap between the lower case 5 of the suction tool body 2 and the surface to be cleaned, The suction air flowing from the gap linearly enters at the inlet at the above-described flow velocity, but the flow suddenly enters the space where the rotary brush storage chamber 12 and the flow path body 21 are expanded. Because it expands, the flow velocity decreases at once.

それに比べ、吹出口22から射出した吹出し風は、その射出圧により、吹出口22の間口面積からの拡大が少ない状態で、吸引口までほぼ直線的に流れ、吹出し風の流速はほぼ減ずることなく吸引口まで至ることになる(図4の二点差線)。この吹出し風の流速によって、回転ブラシ11によって掻き出された塵埃を吸引口13まで強制的に空気輸送できるものであって、吸込具本体2の下方周囲に設けた隙間から吸引する吸引風の流量、および流速より小さくとも、空気輸送作用が働く。   In contrast, the blowout air injected from the blowout port 22 flows almost linearly to the suction port with a small expansion from the opening area of the blowout port 22 due to the injection pressure, and the flow velocity of the blowout air is not substantially reduced. It reaches the suction port (two-dot difference line in FIG. 4). The flow rate of the suction air that is forcibly pneumatically transported to the suction port 13 with the dust blown by the rotary brush 11 by the flow velocity of the blowout air, and is sucked from the gap provided in the lower periphery of the suction tool body 2. , And even if it is smaller than the flow velocity, the air transport action is effective.

ここで、上述した吹出し風の流速が8〜13m/secにおいて、流速が高い方が、塵埃の輸送効果が大きく、また、吸込具本体2の下方周囲に設けた隙間から流入する吸引風の流速よりも速い射出速度で吹出し風を射出すれば、その効果は、大幅に増大する。また逆に、吹出し風の射出流速が小さすぎると、射出を止めた従来の構成と同様、回転ブラシによって弾き飛ばされた塵埃が、後方の吸引口両側の壁面に衝突し、図7に示すように流路体21の空間内で乱れた動きになっている間に吸込具1は前進してしまうため、取り残しが生じてしまうことになる。   Here, when the flow rate of the blown air is 8 to 13 m / sec, the higher the flow rate, the greater the effect of transporting the dust, and the flow rate of the suction air flowing from the gap provided around the lower part of the suction tool body 2. If the blowing air is injected at a higher injection speed, the effect is greatly increased. On the other hand, if the injection flow velocity of the blown air is too small, the dust blown off by the rotating brush collides with the wall surfaces on both sides of the rear suction port as shown in FIG. In addition, since the suction tool 1 moves forward while the movement is disturbed in the space of the flow path body 21, a leftover occurs.

この吹出し風による塵埃の空気輸送効果は、射出圧により吹出し風の流速が吸引口13までの間、減少が少ないことが起因しており、吸込具本体の下方周囲に設けた隙間の開口面積を変えても、上述した通り、その隙間より侵入する吸引風は、回転ブラシ収納室12、ならびに流路体21の拡大した空間に入った瞬間、その流速が大幅に減少するため、吹出し風と同様の効果を得ることは困難である。   The air transportation effect of the dust by the blowing air is caused by the decrease in the flow velocity of the blowing air due to the injection pressure until the suction port 13, and the opening area of the gap provided in the lower periphery of the suction tool main body is reduced. Even if it is changed, as described above, the suction air that enters from the gap is greatly reduced in the flow velocity when it enters the enlarged space of the rotary brush storage chamber 12 and the flow path body 21, so that it is the same as the blowout air. It is difficult to obtain the effect.

また、この吹出し風による塵埃の空気輸送作用に関して、掃除機本体の出力を抑えた『弱モード』の設定で吹出し風がある場合と、掃除機本体の出力が『強モード』の設定で吹出し風を止めた場合の条件で比較すると、通常、それぞれ掃除機本体の出力を変えても吸
込具の回転ブラシ11の回転数はほぼ同等であるため、被掃除面から塵埃を掻き出す条件を同じであるが、吸込具本体2の下方周囲に設けた隙間部分から侵入する吸引風が『強モード』にすると強くなるため、『強モード』の方が集塵性はいいことになる。
In addition, with regard to the dust air transport action by this blowing air, there is a blowing air with the “weak mode” setting that suppresses the output of the vacuum cleaner body, and the blowing wind with the “strong mode” setting that the output of the vacuum cleaner body is set. Compared with the conditions when the cleaning is stopped, since the rotation speed of the rotary brush 11 of the suction tool is generally the same even if the output of the cleaner body is changed, the conditions for scraping dust from the surface to be cleaned are the same. However, since the suction wind entering from the gap portion provided around the lower part of the suction tool main body 2 becomes stronger when the “strong mode” is selected, the “strong mode” has better dust collection.

しかし、『弱モード』で吹出し風ありの条件にすると、回転ブラシ11で掻き出した塵埃を吸引口13に向かって吸引風に変わって空気輸送するため、『強モード』と同等の集塵性能を得ることができるようになる。その意味では、回転ブラシ11と吹出し風を兼ね備えることで、高集塵性を維持しながら掃除機本体の消費電力を抑えることが可能となる。   However, under the condition of “low mode” with blowing air, the dust scraped by the rotating brush 11 changes to the suction air toward the suction port 13 and is transported by air, so the dust collection performance equivalent to “strong mode” is achieved. Be able to get. In that sense, by combining the rotating brush 11 and the blowout air, it is possible to suppress the power consumption of the cleaner body while maintaining high dust collection.

(Embodiment 2)
8 and 9 show the configuration of the air outlet in the second embodiment. In addition, about the structure which overlaps with Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the same code | symbol is described and description is abbreviate | omitted.

図8、図9に示すように、吹出管23は吸引口両側の壁面20付近に位置し、その吹出口22の形状を、吸引口両側の壁面20の高さ方向にスリットの長手方向が平行となるように構成したものである。そして、吸引口両側の壁面20には、吹出口22の位置から吸引口13までの間、吹出し風の流れ方向と平行に複数列の溝部31を形成している。   As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the outlet pipe 23 is positioned near the wall surface 20 on both sides of the suction port, and the shape of the outlet 22 is parallel to the height direction of the wall surface 20 on both sides of the suction port. It is comprised so that it may become. A plurality of rows of groove portions 31 are formed on the wall surfaces 20 on both sides of the suction port from the position of the blowout port 22 to the suction port 13 in parallel with the flow direction of the blowout air.

回転ブラシ11によって掻き出された塵埃は、回転ブラシ11後方の吸引口両側の壁面20に向かって弾き飛ばされると、その壁面20の高さ方向に対して至る所に飛んでくるため、上述した吹出口22の構成を取れば、吹出し風は、吸引口両側の壁面20の高さ方向全体の幅で射出されるため、壁面20のどの高さ位置で衝突しても、塵埃は吹出し風の流れに乗ることになる。さらに、吸引口両側の壁面20に吹出し風の流れに沿った溝部を形成しているため、吹出口22から射出された吹出し風は、より直線的に流れるようになって、壁面20上を沿って流れるようになり、また、吹出し風に乗った塵埃も溝部31に沿って流れるようになるため、より吸引口13への空気輸送の効果を上げることができる。   The dust scraped out by the rotating brush 11 will fly everywhere in the height direction of the wall surface 20 when it is blown off toward the wall surface 20 on both sides of the suction port behind the rotating brush 11. If the structure of the blowout port 22 is taken, the blown air is emitted with the entire width in the height direction of the wall surface 20 on both sides of the suction port. I will ride the flow. Furthermore, since the groove part along the flow of the blowing air is formed in the wall surface 20 on both sides of the suction port, the blowing air injected from the air outlet 22 flows more linearly along the wall surface 20. In addition, since the dust on the blowing air also flows along the groove portion 31, the effect of air transportation to the suction port 13 can be further improved.

(実施の形態3)
図は、実施の形態3における吹出口の構成を示している。なお、上述した実施の形態1と重複する構成については、同一符号を記載し説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 3)
The figure has shown the structure of the blower outlet in Embodiment 3. FIG. In addition, about the structure which overlaps with Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the same code | symbol is described and description is abbreviate | omitted.

図10、図11に示すように、吹出管23には、吸引口13に向かって吹出し風を射出する吹出口A32と、さらに、吹出管23下方の被掃除面に向かって吹出し風を射出する吹出口B33を設けている。ここで、吹出口B33は、その総開口面積は、吹出口A32の開口面積に対して、30〜50%となるように開口穴の個数を設定している。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the blowout air 23 is emitted to the blowout pipe 23 toward the surface to be cleaned below the blowout pipe 23 and the blowout outlet A <b> 32 that emits the blowout wind toward the suction port 13. Air outlet B33 is provided. Here, the number of the opening holes is set so that the total opening area of the outlet B33 is 30 to 50% with respect to the opening area of the outlet A32.

通常、回転ブラシ11の軸受け部分となる位置は、回転ブラシ11の毛ブラシ14を構成することはできないため、先述した吸込具本体2の下方周囲に設けた隙間からの吸引風によって吸上げるか、もしくは、下ケース5の下面に回転ブラシ11とは別に、固定させたブラシ(図示せず)を配置して、回転ブラシ11両側の軸受け部分の位置も集塵する構成をとっているが、吸込具本体2の下方周囲から侵入する吸引風は、横方向の流れの向きであるため、被掃除面、特にじゅうたん上などでは、塵埃を掻き出す効果は少ない。また、下ケース5の下面に取り付けた固定ブラシの場合、ブラシが被掃除面上を押さえ続ける状態となるため、ブラシの毛先に塵埃が絡まってしまうということがある。   Usually, the position that becomes the bearing portion of the rotating brush 11 cannot constitute the bristle brush 14 of the rotating brush 11, so that it is sucked up by the suction air from the gap provided in the lower periphery of the suction tool body 2 described above, Alternatively, a fixed brush (not shown) is arranged on the lower surface of the lower case 5 separately from the rotating brush 11, and the positions of the bearing portions on both sides of the rotating brush 11 are also configured to collect dust. Since the suction air entering from the lower periphery of the tool body 2 is in the direction of the flow in the lateral direction, there is little effect of scraping dust on the surface to be cleaned, particularly on the carpet. Moreover, in the case of the fixed brush attached to the lower surface of the lower case 5, since the brush continues to press down on the surface to be cleaned, dust may be tangled around the brush tip.

そこで、本実施の形態3の構成を取れば、吹出口A32によって、回転ブラシ11で弾き飛ばされた塵埃を吸引口13まで強制的に空気輸送するだけでなく、従来、集塵しきれなかった回転ブラシ11の軸受け部分に相当する部分の被掃除面にも、吹出口B33から
吹出し風を被掃除面に対してほぼ垂直に射出させているため、塵埃が舞い上げられ集塵することが可能となる。ここで、吹出口B33の開口穴間に交互に固定のブラシを配置すれば、被掃除面から集塵性は向上すると同時に、ブラシの毛先に絡まる塵埃も吹出口Bからの吹出し風で吹き飛ばすことができるため、従来のような、塵埃の絡まりを抑えることができるようになる。
Therefore, if the configuration of the third embodiment is adopted, the dust blown off by the rotary brush 11 is not only forcibly pneumatically transported to the suction port 13 by the air outlet A32, but conventionally, the dust cannot be collected. Since the blowing air is blown from the outlet B33 to the surface to be cleaned corresponding to the bearing portion of the rotating brush 11 almost perpendicularly to the surface to be cleaned, dust can be raised and collected. It becomes. Here, if fixed brushes are alternately arranged between the opening holes of the air outlet B33, the dust collecting property is improved from the surface to be cleaned, and at the same time, the dust entangled with the bristles of the brush is blown off by the air blown from the air outlet B. Therefore, the entanglement of dust as in the conventional case can be suppressed.

(実施の形態4)
図は、実施の形態4における吹出口の構成を示している。なお、上述した実施の形態1と重複する構成については、同一符号を記載し説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 4)
The figure has shown the structure of the blower outlet in Embodiment 4. FIG. In addition, about the structure which overlaps with Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the same code | symbol is described and description is abbreviate | omitted.

図12、図13に示すように、吹出口22の開口中心位置が、回転ブラシ11の被掃除面から約75°付近で、かつ、回転ブラシ11の毛ブラシ14の毛先より3〜7mmの距離の軌道上に一致するように配置構成している。さらに、吹出口22は、被掃除面に向かって5〜15°傾斜させた構成とした。   As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the opening center position of the air outlet 22 is about 75 ° from the surface to be cleaned of the rotating brush 11 and 3 to 7 mm from the tip of the bristle brush 14 of the rotating brush 11. They are arranged and arranged so as to coincide on the distance trajectory. Furthermore, the blower outlet 22 was made into the structure inclined 5-15 degrees toward the to-be-cleaned surface.

以上のように構成された本実施の形態4では、吹出口22より射出した吹出し風は、回転ブラシ11よって被掃除面より掻き出された塵埃を吸引口13に向かって空気輸送すると同時に、回転ブラシ11の毛先に吹出し風が当たるため、毛ブラシ14の先に絡み易い繊維ごみを吹き飛ばすことができるようになる。また、吹出し風は、被掃除面に向かって斜め方向から当たるように構成したことで、吹出し風で被掃除面から塵埃を吹出す効果も得られ、回転ブラシと吹出し風による集塵効果をさらに向上させることができる。   In the fourth embodiment configured as described above, the blowout air emitted from the air outlet 22 rotates while simultaneously transporting the dust scraped from the surface to be cleaned by the rotary brush 11 toward the suction port 13. Since the blowing wind hits the bristles of the brush 11, it becomes possible to blow off fiber dust that easily gets entangled with the ends of the bristles 14. In addition, since the blowing air is configured to strike the surface to be cleaned from an oblique direction, it is possible to obtain the effect of blowing dust from the surface to be cleaned with the blowing air, and further to the dust collection effect by the rotating brush and the blowing air. Can be improved.

(実施の形態5)
図は、実施の形態5における吹出口から射出する吹出し風を発生させる送風機の構成を示している。なお、上述した実施の形態1と重複する構成については、同一符号を記載し説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 5)
The figure has shown the structure of the air blower which generates the blowing wind inject | emitted from the blower outlet in Embodiment 5. FIG. In addition, about the structure which overlaps with Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the same code | symbol is described and description is abbreviate | omitted.

図14、図15に示すように、回転ブラシ11の両端側にブロワファン34を配置するファンケース35を上ケース4と下ケース5とで構成しており、ブロワファン34は回転ブラシ11の端部に設けたプーリーB18に増幅ギヤ36を連結して回転するように構成している。回転ブラシ11は、駆動モーター15から減速させて回転トルクを上げた構成としているため、ブロワファン34は、ファン回転数が約1万r/min以上になるように、増速ギヤ36を介して回転数を増幅させている。そして、ブロワファン34を収納しているファンケース35の端部に吹出管23が連結し、他端に空気を取り入れる開口部37を設けている。   As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a fan case 35 in which a blower fan 34 is arranged on both ends of the rotary brush 11 is constituted by an upper case 4 and a lower case 5, and the blower fan 34 is an end of the rotary brush 11. The amplifying gear 36 is connected to a pulley B18 provided in the section so as to rotate. Since the rotary brush 11 is configured to decelerate from the drive motor 15 to increase the rotational torque, the blower fan 34 is connected via the speed increasing gear 36 so that the fan rotational speed is about 10,000 r / min or more. The rotational speed is amplified. The blower pipe 23 is connected to the end of a fan case 35 that houses the blower fan 34, and an opening 37 for taking in air is provided at the other end.

ブロワファン34は、駆動モーター15から回転ブラシ11を経て回転駆動し、開口部37より空気を取り入れ、取り入れた空気を吹出管23を通して吹出口22より吹出し風として射出するものである。   The blower fan 34 is rotationally driven from the drive motor 15 via the rotary brush 11, takes in air from the opening 37, and injects the taken-in air as blown air from the blowout port 22 through the blowout pipe 23.

以上のように構成された本実施の形態5では、吹出し風の発生源であるブロワファン34を回転ブラシ11の両側に配したことにより、ブロワファン34から吹出口22までの管路長が短くなり管ロスを抑えることができると同時に、ブロワファン34を回転させる駆動源を回転ブラシ11の駆動モーター15で兼ねているため、吸込具1の重量を軽減することができる。   In the fifth embodiment configured as described above, the blower fan 34, which is the source of the blown air, is arranged on both sides of the rotating brush 11, so that the pipe length from the blower fan 34 to the outlet 22 is short. The pipe loss can be suppressed, and at the same time, the drive source for rotating the blower fan 34 is also used as the drive motor 15 of the rotary brush 11, so that the weight of the suction tool 1 can be reduced.

以上のように、本発明にかかる電気掃除機用の吸込具は、回転ブラシ収納室と吸引口との間に設けた空間において、その両端から吸引口に向かって吹出し風を射出することによって、回転ブラシで被掃除面より掻き出した塵埃、および掻き出した後に吸引口両側の壁
面に衝突して跳ね返った塵埃を、吸引による気流以外の吹出し気流によって強制的に吸引口へと空気輸送するため、壁面衝突による跳ね返りよって取り残しとなっていた塵埃を確実に吸引口より吸塵することができるようになり、吸込具の集塵性能を向上させることができる。
As described above, the suction tool for a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention, in the space provided between the rotating brush storage chamber and the suction port, by injecting the blowing air from both ends toward the suction port, In order to forcibly transport the dust scraped from the surface to be cleaned with a rotating brush and the dust that bounces off and collides with the walls on both sides of the suction port to the suction port by airflow other than the airflow generated by suction. Dust that has been left behind by rebounding due to a collision can be reliably sucked from the suction port, and the dust collection performance of the suction tool can be improved.
