Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery-powered vacuum cleaner that uses a battery as a power source for a fan motor.

Conventional technology Hand-type or stick-type vacuum cleaners are generally known as vacuum cleaners with built-in storage batteries.
Some floor-moving vacuum cleaners have been proposed that have built-in storage batteries of small capacity (up to 12V). The structure will be explained based on FIG. 6. Reference numeral 1 denotes a dust suction case housing a filter unit 2, and a hose insertion port 3 is provided at the front end. Reference numeral 4 denotes a vacuum cleaner main body which incorporates a fan motor 6 and a storage battery 6, and is provided with a switch 7 and a hand/v8 above, and the dust suction case 1 is detachably attached to the front end of the vacuum cleaner main body 4. The voltage of the storage battery 6 is 8 to 12V,
The location is below the hand/l/8 and behind the fan motor 6. The fan motor 6 is supported at its front and rear via support rubbers 9 and 1o, and its front surface is in pressure contact with the rear surface of the filter unit 2. Reference numeral 13 denotes caster rollers provided on both sides of the lower rear end of the cleaner body 4.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, in the conventional storage battery type vacuum cleaner, the storage battery 6
When replacing the vacuum cleaner, the main body 4 of the vacuum cleaner had to be disassembled, which was very inconvenient.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a floor movable storage battery-powered vacuum cleaner that has a simple configuration and allows easy replacement of the storage battery.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a lid body that covers an opening provided on the rear surface of the vacuum cleaner body and is rotatably attached in the front and back direction, and a storage battery is attached to the lid body. It was kept. Further, the lid is provided with a stop portion that holds the lid at a constant opening angle with respect to the main body, and a holding portion that holds the storage battery slidably in the vertical direction of the lid.

Function: Since the opening is provided on the rear surface of the vacuum cleaner body as in the above configuration, the shape of the upper surface can be designed without any restrictions on removal, and parts such as an I/Handle can be freely provided. Furthermore, the lid is equipped with a stop part that holds the battery at a fixed opening angle relative to the main body, and a holding part that holds the battery so that it can be slid up and down, so you can secure enough space to hold the battery while also All you have to do is take it out upwards and insert it diagonally downwards, making it easy to hold and operate.

Example Examples thereof will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, the cleaner body 11 is shown on the top.

It is constructed by connecting lower bodies 12&, 12b. The upper body 12 & has a dust collection section 13 above and a battery storage section 1 at the rear.
4, and a lid 15 covering the opening of the dust collecting section 13 is pivotally supported on the upper surface thereof by a rotation shaft 16. Lid body 16
The closed state is held by a buckle 17. Inside the dust collection section 13, a bag-like filtration 19 supported by a holder 18 and a pre-filter 20 made of non-woven fabric are housed. Upper Pode 1
A knob 22 which is rotatable via a rotation shaft 21 is provided at the upper end of 2a. The fan motor 23 is elastically supported by the upper and lower bodies 121L and 12b via upper and lower support rubbers 24 and 25, and its suction side is in contact with the dust collecting section 13.

26 is a bumper made of an elastic rubber material;

It is held between the lower pods 121L and 12b. Reference numeral 27 indicates exhaust ports formed on both sides of the upper body 12&. The battery storage section 14 has an opening 28 provided on the rear surface of the vacuum cleaner main body 11.
A lid body 29 that covers the is rotatably attached via a support shaft 30. This lid body 29 is provided with a box-shaped holding part 32 having an opening at the top and containing a storage battery 31, and a circle centered on a support shaft 3o formed on the side wall of the battery storage part 14 on both sides. A stop portion 34 is provided which is a cylindrical protrusion that fits into the arc-shaped recess 33 . Further, a buckle 37 is attached above the lid body 29 and is engaged with a square hole 36 formed in the side wall of the battery storage section 14 by the action of a spring body 36, and the storage battery 31 is further provided with a hand μ38. There is. A connection terminal 39 is attached to the battery storage portion 14 and connected to the fan motor 23. Next, the operation of this configuration will be explained. First, since an opening is provided on the rear surface of the vacuum cleaner main body 11, the shape of the upper surface can be designed without being restricted in terms of removal, and parts such as the hand 1v22 can be freely provided. Furthermore, since the lid body 29 is provided with a stop part 34 that defines a certain opening angle and a holding part 32 that holds the storage battery 31 slidably in the vertical direction, there is a space for holding the storage battery 31 as shown in FIG. At the same time,
It is easy to hold and operate because it can be taken out diagonally upward and inserted diagonally downward. Furthermore, support shaft 3
The center of gravity of the storage battery 310 relative to 0 is on the front side when closed in FIG. Therefore, rotational force acts in the closing direction, making the closing operation smooth and at the same time ensuring contact pressure to the connection terminal 39. Further, when the lid 29 is opened as shown in FIG. 2, rotational force acts in the opening direction, contributing to holding the lid 29 at a constant opening angle.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, since the opening is provided on the rear surface, the shape of the upper surface can be designed without any restrictions on taking out the product, and parts such as a handle can be freely provided. Furthermore, the lid is provided with a stop portion that restricts the opening angle to a certain degree, and the storage battery is taken out diagonally upward and inserted diagonally downward, making it easy to hold and operate. This makes it possible to provide a battery-powered vacuum cleaner that is easy to use.
