Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention can be used on the floor or on the wall. Related to electrical equipment that operates a switch body.

(b) Prior art As a technology prior to the present invention, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-22389
There is an electrical device (air purifier) described in the publication.
A switch body installed in an electrical device can be directly operated by an operation knob such as a push button, or pulled by a pull cord. Therefore, although it is not explicitly stated, in the electrical equipment that has been commercialized, when the drawstring is not required, it is stored inside the electrical equipment frame and taken out and used as appropriate.

To operate the switch body with a pull cord, pull the pull cord operating rod that protrudes from the switch body, but depending on the direction in which the pull cord is pulled out, the proper operating direction of the pull cord operating body and the direction in which the pull cord is pulled may differ. This situation arose due to the structure, and excessive force was applied to the drawstring operating body, causing a failure.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The present invention provides a floor-standing/wall-mounted electric device that prevents excessive force from being applied to the switch body during direct or pulling operation of the switch body.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention consists of a switch body that can be operated directly using an operating knob and a pull cord that can be operated using a pull cord, an electrical equipment frame body to which the switch body is mounted, and a frame adjacent to the switch body. A drawstring drawer hole formed in the body part, a drawstring storage case body formed in the frame body to cover the hole, and a drawstring storage case body formed in the drawstring storage case body to allow the drawstring to be inserted from the drawstring operating rod of the switch body to the transparent hole. The problem can also be solved by a means formed from a guiding body.

(e) Function The present invention uses a guide body to guide the drawstring into the through hole, so that the tension from the drawstring operating rod of the switch body to the guide body is carried out in the appropriate operating direction of the drawstring operating rod.

(F) Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 6 show a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an air cleaner 1.

The air cleaner 1 is used in a floor-standing state as shown in FIG. 3 and in a wall-mounted state as shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the air sucked in from the front grill section 2 is collected by an internal filter body, and the dust is then blown out from the blow-off grill section 3 on one half of the upper surface. In the wall-mounted use shown in FIG. 4, the device is mounted upside down on the wall, and air is blown downward from the blow-off grill portion 3, thereby also functioning as a circulator.

Figures 1, 5, and 6 are diagrams showing the relationship and state of the switch body 4, frame body 5, drawstring storage case body 6, drawstring 7, and drawstring drawer through hole 8 when used as a wall-mount. , FIG. 1 is a sectional view, FIG. 5 is a plan view,
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the same portion shown in FIG. 1 when used on the floor.

The switch body 4 is formed into a cylindrical shape, with a switch operating shaft 9 protruding from the center of one end surface, and a plurality of connection terminals 10 protruding from the other end surface. A drawstring operating rod 11 is protruded from the side surface of the switch body 4.
The switch body 4 is attached to the frame body 5 by attaching the mounting piece 12 with the screw 13.
It is fixed to the boss 14 that protrudes from the top. The switch operating shaft 9 is exposed outside the frame 5 through a through hole 15 formed in the frame 5, and an operating knob 16 is attached to the switch operating shaft 9. By rotating the operating knob 16, the switch body 4 is directly switched on and off, and in this embodiment, the switch can be switched between stop, weak operation, strong operation, and rapid operation, and the rotation operation can be performed in either direction. I can do it. The switch body 4 can also be switched on and off by pulling the drawstring operating rod 11, and the operating direction is along the circumferential surface of the switch 4. Although the switch body 4 can be operated by pulling the drawstring operating rod 11 diagonally, a force that tends to bend the drawstring operating rod 11 also acts, leading to failure of the switch body 4.

The drawstring storage case body 6 is fixed to the frame body 5 with screws 17 so as to cover the drawstring drawer through hole 8. In this embodiment, the drawstring storage case body 6 is attached by partially contacting and pressing the switch body 4 so as to cover one half of the circumference of the switch body 4. A guide body 18 curved in a U-shape is integrally formed as if a part of the drawstring storage case body 6 is cut out. The bottom surface of the guide body 18 is curved, and its position is in line with the drawstring operating rod 1 of the switch body 4.
It is located in the circumferential side direction of 1. A cylindrical portion 19 is formed on the circumferential surface of the drawstring pull-out through hole 8, and at least the inner edge of the cylindrical portion 19 is formed into an arc. Drawstring operating rod 11
The guide body 18 and the cylindrical portion 19 can be connected in a straight line without any obstruction. The end of the drawstring 7 is connected to the drawstring operating rod 11, and is pulled out of the frame 5 through the guide body 18 and through the drawstring pull-out hole 8. When the drawstring 7 is operated in this state, the operating direction is perpendicular to the operation of the drawstring operating rod 11, but the pulling direction is changed by the guide body 18 to an appropriate pulling direction. Therefore, the switch body 4 can be used for a long period without failure.

The holding part 2 of the switch body 4 is attached to the end of the guide body 18.
0 to prevent the guide body 18 from being bent or deformed due to the operation of the drawstring 7, and at the same time to hold down the switch body 4. A tension knob 21 is provided at the end of the drawstring 7.
is attached. When used on the floor without the drawstring 7, the drawstring 7 is pushed into the frame 5 through the drawstring pull-out hole 8, and the tension knob 21 is attached to the drawstring drawer hole 8, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the tension knob 21 is attached to the through hole 8 for pulling out the drawstring by elastic locking, but it may also be done by screwing or clamp-like insertion and rotation locking, as long as it has a detachable structure. good.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation structure, but can be implemented in various structures without departing from the purpose, structure, operation, and effects of the present invention.

For example, as shown in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the drawstring storage case body 6 is integrally formed by forming a recess in the frame 5, and a through hole 15 for inserting the switch operating shaft 9 and a transparent hole for pulling out the drawstring. Decorative board body 2 with holes 8 formed
2 is attached so as to close the drawstring storage case body 6 of the frame body 5.

(G) Effects of the invention This invention has a drawstring storage case body, so that
With the pull string connected to the switch body, it can be stored inside the frame so that it does not get tangled with other parts, making it easy to use as appropriate, and the guide body prevents undue force from being applied to the switch body when operating the pull cord. This will prevent the switch body from malfunctioning.
