The peripheral wall, the lower half of which is the second dust collecting part peripheral wall, the first dust collecting part peripheral wall is equipped with a mop cage to constitute the first dust collecting part, and the second dust collecting part peripheral wall is an electric motor. Since the second dust collection part is configured by sequentially installing the filter and dust storage part upward, the mop cleaning function and the mop storage function can be combined, and the device can be downsized and moved. It is easy and has the effect of reducing the floor area of the apparatus.

1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a first embodiment of a mop cleaner according to the present invention. Similarly, a longitudinal sectional view showing a second embodiment. Similarly, a longitudinal sectional view showing a third embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mop cleaner of the present invention has a first dust collecting portion A and a second dust collecting portion B arranged in two upper and lower stages.

A vertically long tubular body case 1 is divided into two by a horizontal partition wall 3, and its upper half is defined as a first dust collector peripheral wall 1A and its lower half as a second dust collector peripheral wall 1B.
The first dust collection part A constitutes a first dust collection part having a mop cage 2 inside the first dust collection part peripheral wall 1A and having a mop storage space P1 and a dust collection space P2.

The second dust collecting section B is configured by sequentially arranging a filter 6, a dust storage section 7 and a dust inflow chamber 8 in an upward direction in the second dust collecting section peripheral wall 1B with the electric motor 5 with a suction fan 5a as a lower stage. .
The dust collection space P1 of the first dust collection part A and the dust storage part 7 of the second dust collection part B are communicated with each other through a through hole formed in the horizontal partition.
The mop C 2 can be stored in the mop cage 2 of the first dust collecting unit 1 and dust attached to the stored mop C is separated.
[First Example]

Referring to FIG. 1, the mop cleaner of the present invention is a vertically long synthetic resin molded product or a metal molded product, and a first dust collecting part A and a second dust collecting part B are used for the fuselage case 1. It is configured as a two-stage arrangement.

A vertically long tubular body case 1 is divided into two by a horizontal partition wall 3, and its upper half is defined as a first dust collector peripheral wall 1A and its lower half as a second dust collector peripheral wall 1B.

The first dust collecting part A includes a mop cage 2 in the first dust collecting part peripheral wall 1A to constitute a first dust collecting part having a mop storage space P1 and a dust collection space P2.
An appropriate spacer is interposed between the mop cage 2 and the first dust collecting portion peripheral wall 1A / horizontal partition wall 3 to secure a space for forming the dust collection space P2.

The second dust collecting part B is configured by installing the filter 6, the dust containing part 7, and the dust inflow chamber 8 in the upper order in the second dust collecting part peripheral wall 1B with the electric motor 5 with the suction fan 5a as the lower stage. .

In communicating the dust collection space P2 of the first dust collection part A and the dust storage part 7 of the second dust collection part B, in the first embodiment, the outlet 4 of the dust collection space P1 of the first dust collection part A connecting hose 10 that communicates with the dust container 7 of the second dust collector B is equipped.

The outlet 4 of the first dust collecting portion is set near the lower end of the first dust collecting case peripheral wall 1A.
Dust existing near the bottom of the mop cage 2 and near the horizontal bulkhead 3 in the first dust collecting part is also sucked and collected in the second dust collecting part 2, so that the dust remaining on the bottom of the first dust collecting part A No processing is required.

The mop cage 2 is a cylindrical body having a bottom surface and a peripheral wall and having an open top surface, and air holes 23 are formed on the peripheral surface and the bottom surface.

In the mop basket 2, the mop cleaning body 21 is bent at the shaft fulcrum 22 in a vertical state,
The mop C can be stored in a state parallel to the mop pattern 20.

In the above state, the mop handle 20 protrudes from the upper end of the mop cage 2 and the upper end of the first dust collecting portion peripheral wall 1A. By operating the protruding mop pattern 20, the mop can be put into the mop cage 2 and pulled out freely, and the mop cleaning body 21 can be brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the mop basket 2 to the mop cleaning body 21 Facilitates separation of attached dust.

  A top cover 25A that can be placed on the upper end of the body case 1 is provided, or a top cover 25B that is pivotally supported on the upper end portion of the body case 1 is provided. The top cover 25A, 25B is provided with a center hole 26A and a notch 26B for penetrating the mop pattern 20.

The efficiency of vacuum dust collection of the second dust collection part B can be increased by improving the sealing performance of the first dust collection part 1A by the top cover 25A, 25B. Further, dust can be prevented from scattering from the mop cage 2 of the first dust collecting part A into the room.

For the second dust collector B, the exhaust port 27 is located near the bottom of the second dust collector peripheral wall 1B of the fuselage case and communicates with the lower surface of the filter via the motor chamber 28 at an upward inclined angle. In addition, the dust from the floor surface in the vicinity of the apparatus due to the exhaust from the second dust collecting part B is prevented.

The dust storage portion 7 of the second dust collection portion B is configured by a dust storage box 7A that can be taken out from the second dust collection portion peripheral wall 1B of the fuselage case. The seal member 9 maintains a sealed state between the dust storage box 7A and the dust storage portion 7.

A mesh 29 is formed on the bottom surface of the dust storage box 7A, and the inside of the dust storage box 7A communicates with the exhaust port 27 via the mesh 29, the filter 6 and the motor chamber 28.
[Second Example]

  Referring to FIG. 2, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in the following configuration.

Dust adhering to the mop cleaning body 21 of the mop C in the first dust collecting part A by setting the outlet 4 of the first dust collecting part formed on the peripheral wall 1A of the first dust collecting case to a position above the bottom surface of the mop cage 2 The separation of the relatively coarse dust in the bottom of the mop cage is increased.

Only fine dust is vacuum-collected in the dust container of the second dust collector, and the relatively large dust remains in the first dust collector and is separated so that the vacuum dust collection action of the second dust collector While improving efficiency, it has the effect of reducing the load on the motor of the second dust collecting unit.

The dust container 7 of the second dust collecting part B is composed of a paper pack 7B. The seal member 9 keeps the space between the paper pack 7B and the dust container 7 in a sealed state.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the upper end of the connecting hose 10 is separated from the outlet 4 of the first dust collecting part, and the upper end of the connecting hose 10 is brought close to the floor surface, thereby near the mop cleaner. The floor can be cleaned.

[Third embodiment]

  Referring to FIG. 3, the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in the following configuration.

A through-hole 3a is formed in the horizontal partition wall 3 that bisects a vertically long body case.
The dust collection space of the first dust collection part and the dust storage part 7 of the second dust collection part are communicated with each other through the through hole 3a and the dust inflow chamber 8.

In the third embodiment, the through-hole 3a of the horizontal partition wall 3 has a function as the connection hose 10 so that the connection hose 10 does not exist. Therefore, it has the effect of improving the product design by reducing the product cost and simplifying the appearance design of the product.

The present invention promotes the use of a mop cleaner by improving the mop cleaner, and contributes to the development of a cleaning product manufacturing industry such as a mop cleaner.
