BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a charging stand for a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly to a charging stand for a vacuum cleaner used in a stationary rechargeable vacuum cleaner.

0002

[Prior Art] In recent years, with the diversification of stationary rechargeable vacuum cleaners (hereinafter referred to as vacuum cleaners), the shape of the vacuum cleaner attachment part of a vacuum cleaner charging stand (hereinafter referred to as a charging stand) is 6, the wall surface that follows the external shape of the vacuum cleaner main body 20,
The vacuum cleaner main body 20 is formed on the top surface 17a of the charging stand.
was fixed to the charging stand 17.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such a conventional charging stand 17, when the vacuum cleaner main body 20 is attached to and detached from the charging stand 17, the vacuum cleaner main body 20 must be placed along the wall surface formed on the charging stand upper surface 17a. It is necessary for the user to move the vacuum cleaner main body 20 while holding the vacuum cleaner main body 20, which is heavy for the user. It was not easy to use because it had to be done.

[0004] The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to facilitate the attachment and detachment of a vacuum cleaner body to and from a charging stand.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve this problem, a charging stand for a vacuum cleaner of the present invention includes a vacuum cleaner body having a built-in charging battery and a motor, and a charging stand having a built-in charging circuit. , a stationary rechargeable vacuum cleaner having a structure in which the vacuum cleaner body is electrically connected to each other by a terminal board by mounting the vacuum cleaner body on the charging stand, wherein a cross section is provided at the lower front of the front surface of the outer wall of the charging stand; a convex portion having a semicylindrical inclined surface; a concave portion adjacent to the rear of the convex portion; and a rib protruding forward in the longitudinal direction of the vacuum cleaner body attached to the central portion of the front surface of the outer wall of the charging stand. A stationary rechargeable vacuum cleaner is provided with a forwardly sloping slope part on the upper part of the rib, and further has a terminal plate having a spherical convex part formed at a place where it contacts the terminal plate of the charging stand. It is to be worn.

[0006]

[Function] With the above-described configuration, the vacuum cleaner charging stand of the present invention has to frequently hold up the vacuum cleaner body when attaching and detaching the vacuum cleaner body to and from the charging stand, and then attach the vacuum cleaner at a certain position on the charging stand. By carrying the vacuum cleaner to its approximate position relative to the charging stand, it can be attached and detached with simple operations from then on.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A vacuum cleaner charging stand according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5, the vacuum cleaner charging stand of this embodiment includes a case 1, a suction part 10, and a suction port pipe 11.
, a vacuum cleaner body consisting of a handle (not shown), a main case 9 (only a part is shown) containing a built-in rechargeable battery, a motor, etc., and a charging stand 7 containing a built-in charging circuit.
By attaching the vacuum cleaner body to the charging stand 7, a pair of terminal boards 1 of the vacuum cleaner body built in the case 1 can be connected.
2 is a stationary rechargeable vacuum cleaner having a structure in which the charging stand 7 is electrically connected to a pair of terminal boards 2 of the charging stand 7.
A convex portion 3 having an inclined surface with a semicylindrical cross section, which the wheel 4 of the suction unit 10 climbs over when the vacuum cleaner body is installed or removed when the vacuum cleaner body is installed or removed, and a charging stand 7 of the vacuum cleaner body are disposed at the lower front of the outer wall front surface 6 of the vacuum cleaner body.
When the attachment to the vacuum cleaner is completed, a concave portion 5 into which the car 4 falls into the rear adjacent portion of the convex portion 3 and a central portion of the outer wall front surface 6 of the charging stand 7 protrude forward in the longitudinal direction of the vacuum cleaner body to be attached. Rib 8
The upper part of the rib 8 is provided with an inclined part 8a against which the suction main body case 9 comes into contact when the vacuum cleaner main body is removed from the charging stand 7 tilted forward.

Further, the vacuum cleaner body has a spherical convex portion 12a at the point where the pair of terminal plates 12, which are electrically connected by sandwiching the terminal plate 2 of the charging stand 7, come into contact with the terminal plate 2 of the charging stand 7.
is formed.

Next, the operation of the charging stand of this embodiment will be explained. 1 to 5, the vacuum cleaner body is slid into the charging stand 7 from the direction of A in FIG. Therefore, there is no need to pick up the vacuum cleaner body and attach it to the charging stand 7 by straddling the outer wall front surface 6 of the charging stand 7. By placing the vacuum cleaner body against the convex part 3 and the car 4 on the convex part 3, the car 4 follows the slope 3a formed on the convex part 3 due to the weight of the vacuum cleaner body, and is charged. As the car 4 falls into the recess 5 formed in the platform 7, as shown in FIG.
The vacuum cleaner body will naturally be set at a certain position in front of the outer wall front surface 6 of the charging stand 7. In this state,
The car 4 is sandwiched between the convex portion 3 and the front surface 6 of the outer wall of the charging stand 7, and the vacuum cleaner body is fixed to the charging stand 7. When detaching the vacuum cleaner body from the charging stand 7, the user moves the vacuum cleaner body from the position shown in FIG. 2 in the direction of B in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the main body case 9 moves along the inclined part 8a of the rib 8 formed on the charging stand 7, and at the same time the car 4 avoids the protrusion 3 and rides on it, causing the charging The main body of the vacuum cleaner can be smoothly removed from the stand 7.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal plate 12 of the vacuum cleaner main body is provided with a spherical convex portion 12a at the location where it comes into contact with the terminal plate 2 of the charging stand 7. Even when the vacuum cleaner main body is attached from any direction, the terminal plates 2 and 12 can come into contact with each other smoothly. As a result, in this charging stand, the vacuum cleaner main body can be attached and detached in directions C and D in FIG. 1, and the vacuum cleaner main body can be attached and detached from multiple directions.

0012

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the vacuum cleaner charging stand of the present invention, the user does not have to lift the vacuum cleaner main body when attaching or removing the vacuum cleaner main body to the charging stand. This means that the cleaner can be attached to and removed from the charging stand accurately with one touch, and the vacuum cleaner body can be accurately fixed to the charging stand.
