Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner for use in general households.

BACKGROUND ART Conventional vacuum cleaners of this type have structures as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. That is, the body upper lid 1 has an accessory storage part 4 for storing the gap suction port 2 and the trellis nozzle 3, and this storage part 4 is stored with a storage lid 5 that can be rotated by the body upper lid 1.
Further, a rotatable handle 6 is provided on the body top cover 1 and is used for transporting the vacuum cleaner. In addition, the vacuum cleaner with this configuration has a fan motor 8 in the main case 7.
A dust collection chamber 9 is installed inside the cord winding device 1, and a dust collection bag 10 is installed inside the dust storage chamber 9. It consists of Further, the dust bag 10 is replaced by opening the front cover 12, and the front cover 12 has a buckle 13.
It is held on the body upper lid 1 by.

Problems that the invention attempts to solve However, with this structure, the dust bag 1
0, if the front cover 12 is not facing upwards, that is, in the direction of arrow A, the front cover 1
2 cannot be opened completely, making it difficult to dispose of trash.
Therefore, the configurations shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 were considered. In other words, with this configuration, the conventional front cover 12 is opened to dispose of the dust, but the body top cover is divided into two parts, that is, the body top cover 13 and the dust box lid 14, and the dust box lid 14 is opened to dispose of the dust. This is what I did. However, in this configuration, if the dust box lid 14 is used to store accessories, etc., the dust box lid 14 becomes heavy and undesirable for operation, so it is desirable to provide the storage section 15 in the upper body lid 13. However, the storage section 1 is located in the body upper lid 13.
5, the distance X from the joint between the dust box lid 14 and the body top lid 13 to the storage section 15 will be shortened, so the handle 16 needs to have a dimension L to provide a good grip. As a result, it is desirable to provide the grip portion 17 on the dust box lid 14 side. However, the dust box lid 14 has a dust indicator 18 that is necessary for the functionality of the vacuum cleaner.
Since it is necessary to provide a dust storage chamber 19 and to secure the capacity of the dust collection chamber 19, the above-mentioned hanging hand 16 is placed in the fourth position when not in use.
It is stored as shown in the figure and Fig. 5. However, with this configuration, the dust box lid 14 is connected to the main case 20.
When the dust box lid 14 is opened further, a part of the dust box lid 14 is locked to the grip part 17 of the handle 16, so there is a drawback that the handle 16 must be rotated in the direction of arrow B each time.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates the need for manual rotation and movement of the handle to open the dust box lid.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems consists of a main case forming an upwardly open dust collection chamber, and an openable/closable case that covers the upper opening of the dust collection chamber. It is rotatably supported by a dust box lid, a body top cover that covers the top of the fan motor installed inside the main case, and a part of this body top cover, and is positioned in a state where it falls down on the dust box lid when not in use. a rib and a cam that are located near the rotational fulcrum of the handle and are in contact with the handle and the dust box lid, and the handle is raised in conjunction with the opening operation of the dust box lid. This is how it was done.

Effects According to the configuration of the present invention described above, the handle automatically stands up when the dust box lid is opened, and does not get in the way.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Note that in FIGS. 1 to 3, the same parts as in FIGS. 4 and 5 are given the same reference numerals, and explanations thereof are omitted. A boss 21 is embedded in the handle 16 and is rotatably inserted into a hole 22 in the body upper cover 13. Reference numeral 23 denotes a mountain-shaped cam formed near the pivot point of the handle 16, and a rib 24 protruding from the upper rear surface of the dust box lid 14.
It has become possible to come into contact with Reference numeral 25 denotes a front handle portion provided on the dust box lid 14, and a recess 26 is formed in the front surface of the handle portion. The dust box lid 14 is moved forward once by placing a finger in the recess 26 of the front handle portion 25, and then
It opens in the direction of arrow B.

When the dust box lid 14 is moved forward, the rib 24 on the rear upper surface slides on the mountain-shaped cam surface of the cam 23, as shown in FIG.
The hanging hand 16 is rotated in the upright direction as shown by the arrow C in which the grip portion 17 moves away from the indicator portion 27.

Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention forms a rib and a cam that are located near the rotational fulcrum of the dust box hand and are in contact with the dust box lid and the dust box lid. Since it is made to stand up, it is easier to use and prevents the handle from getting stuck on the dust box lid. Furthermore, accessories can be easily stored in the main body, and trash can be easily disposed of.
