[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved structure for an electric ball remover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, an outer blade 1 is provided on an end surface of a cylindrical body, an inner blade 2 is in pressure contact with the inner surface of the outer blade, and an impeller-shaped fan 15 is provided immediately below the inner blade. The pills cut by the cooperation of the outer blade and the inner blade are discharged from the discharge port 14 provided in the outer peripheral direction by the fan, or are collected in the space 16 immediately below the inner blade.

[0003]

However, the pill remover of the related art is required to be easy to hold due to the nature of the product, but it is ergonomically difficult to hold because of its cylindrical shape. When considering the storage of pills cut by the blade and inner blade, the volume for storing the cut pills is structurally restricted,
Furthermore, when discharging fluff balls that have been cut in the outer peripheral direction by a fan, a dust box is provided at the discharge port, but by mounting the dust box on the cylindrical main body, it is easy to create a gap between the main body and the dust box due to the structure. The dust was likely to scatter.

Therefore, the present invention solves such problems, and makes it easy to hold the main body and simplify the attachment structure of the dust box.

[0005]

The electric pill remover of the present invention comprises an outer blade having a hole through which the pill can pass, an inner blade which cooperates with the outer blade to cut the pill, and an inner blade. An electric pill remover having a drive unit for supplying a rotational movement to a fan, a fan is provided below the inner blade, and a dust box for pill waste treatment is arranged on the side of the fan and the drive unit, And a power supply unit is provided below each of the dust boxes, and the power supply unit is arranged at a plane position extending over both the drive unit and the dust box, and its longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the drive shaft of the drive unit. It is characterized by being done.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a main cross-sectional view, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a main part relating to a case and a dust box, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the dust box, the case discharge port, and the fan.

In FIG. 1, the outer blade 1 has a thickness of about 100 μ by electroforming and pressing techniques, and has a large number of areas capable of sufficiently introducing pills generated in clothes or the like due to wool, chemical fibers or the like. It has a pill introduction hole. The inner blade 2 is held by the inner blade holder 3 and is pressed against the inner surface of the outer blade 1 by the elasticity of a thin plate-shaped spring (not shown) provided on the lower surface of the inner blade holder 3.

The rotary motion of the motor 7 is transmitted to the inner blade holder 3 by the joint 12, whereby the pills can be cut by the cooperation of the outer blade 1 and the inner blade 2. By rotating the inner blade holder 3, the inner blade holder clutch pawl 1
Due to the entanglement between 0 and the fan clutch pawl 11, the fan 15 rotates simultaneously with the rotation of the inner blade holder 3.

The motor 7 may be screwed to the case 4 (not shown) or sandwiched by elastic ribs (not shown) on the case 4. It is considered appropriate that the switch 8 is generally arranged at the illustrated position in consideration of holding the main body.

A battery 9 as a power source is provided below each of the drive unit (motor 7) and the dust box 6, and at a position in contact with both of them, the longitudinal direction thereof corresponds to the drive shaft (not shown) of the motor 7. They are arranged at right angles. Battery pig 5
Covers the battery 9. The battery pig 5 is fixed to the case 4 by the engagement of the fixing claws (not shown) of both and the opening / closing resin spring portion (not shown). The dust box 6 is fixed by a resin spring portion of the case 4 and the like, which will be described later in detail.

The main body of the pill removing device of the present invention is constructed as described above. Next, the operation will be described.

When using the pill remover of the present invention,
When the switch 8 is turned on, the battery 9 is electrically connected to the motor 7 through a contact spring (not shown), a contact portion 16 such as a lead wire (not shown), and the motor 7 starts rotating motion. This rotational movement is transmitted to the inner blade holder 3 via the joint 12, and the inner blade 2 rotates while being slightly pressed against the inner surface of the outer blade 1. In this state, when the outer blade 1 is lightly pressed against the surface of the clothing or the like in which pills are generated and the surface of the clothing or the like is slid, the pills are cut by the cooperation of the outer blade 1 and the inner blade 2. Become.

The cut pills are sucked by the air flow generated by the rotation of the inner blade 2, the inner blade holder 3, and the fan 15, and reach the fan 15. Since the fan 15 is rotated by the engagement between the inner blade holder clutch pawl 10 and the fan clutch pawl 11, a centrifugal force is applied to the pills and the pills tend to scatter in the outer peripheral direction. Therefore, it is stored and accumulated in the pill storage unit 13 of the dust box 6 from the case discharge port 14. When a large amount of pills is accumulated in the pill storage unit 13 due to continuous movement, the dust box 6 can be detached from the main body by a simple operation, and the pill accumulated in the pill storage unit 13 can be discharged.

In FIG. 3, the case outlet 14 and the fan 1
Although the relationship between the dust box 6 and the dust box 6 is shown, the pills are given a centrifugal force by the rotation of the fan 15 with respect to the case discharge port 14, pass through the case discharge port 14, and are discharged to the pill storage unit 13. At this time, considering the discharge efficiency, by chamfering like the end face 21 of the case discharge port 14,
The efficiency of pilling is improved.

Next, regarding the relationship between the case discharge port 14 and the fan 15, the height of the hole of the case discharge port 14 is preferably lower than the height of the blade portion of the fan 15. This reduces the possibility that the air flow generated during the rotation of the fan 15 is less likely to be disturbed, and that pills are entangled between the end surface of the case outlet 14 and the blades of the fan 15 to affect the operation. Is.

The height of the hole of the case outlet 14 and the height of the blades of the fan 15 are determined by the size of the main body and the motor 7.
It depends on the power, size, etc., but the case outlet 1
The height of the hole of 4 is 10 mm to 20 mm, and the height of the blade portion of the fan 15 is 0.5 mm to the height of the hole of the case discharge port 14.
It seems appropriate to add about 5 mm.

Next, regarding the relationship between the case 4 and the dust box 6, the convex portion of the dust box 6 is engaged with the concave portion 22 of the case 4. In this relationship, by setting all the portions where the case 4 and the dust box 6 are in contact with each other, it is possible to prevent the scattering of the pills from the gap generated when the case 4 and the dust box 6 are engaged. Further, 20 means a step between the case end surface 21 and the lower bottom surface of the dust box 6, but the motor 7 also has a wattage of 1 watt or less in the trend of making the main body compact because of the nature of the product of the electric ball removing device. This is the mainstream, and the rotation of the fan 15 cannot be so strong.

Therefore, the cut pills also enter the pill storage unit 13 without much force. Therefore, the step 20
By providing, the pills fall on the lower bottom surface of the dust box in FIG. 3 when passing through the case discharge port 14, and the discharge efficiency is improved. Further, it also has the purpose of preventing backflow of the pills accumulated in the pill storage unit 13 to the fan unit 15.

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 1, and the engagement structure between the case 4 and the dust box 6 will be described with reference to FIG. The gap 17 generated when the case 4 and the dust box 6 are locked becomes a slide space when pulling out the dust box 6 from the case 4 to the left and right in FIG. 2, and once it is pulled out to the right in FIG. After that, when the dust box is moved downward in FIG. 2, the dust box becomes free.

The purpose of this is to collect a large amount of pills when the pill storage unit 13 is clogged with a large amount of pills and the dust box 6 is pulled out when the dust box 6 is to be detached from the case 4. The stopper is necessary because the pills that are present are spilled. In addition, a click mechanism 18 required for attaching / detaching the dust box 6 to / from the case 4
Is a click mechanism which is normally performed by a protrusion (not shown) of the case 4 and a protrusion (not shown) of the dust box 6.

Further, the left end of the upper wall 19 formed on the upper part of the dust box 6 is inserted and locked in the recess 24 of the case 4, and by this locking, the dust box is removed from the case 4 while the pill removing device is in use. 6 will not come off easily.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the fan is provided below the inner blade, the pills cut by the outer blade and the inner blade will not be collected and discharged around the inner blade. In this case, since the dust box is arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the drive shaft, the pills blown in the rotation direction of the fan (radial direction) are It is smoothly stored and processed in the dust box placed earlier.

In this case, the blade portion, the fan and the motor (driving portion) are almost laminated, but since the dust box is arranged on the side of the laminated portion, the laminated portion becomes unnecessarily long. Can be prevented. Further, originally, it is easier to operate by hand if the height (thickness) of the power supply section arranged behind the motor is lower (thinner), but in the present invention, the long section of the power supply section is laminated. Instead of laminating the power supply unit sideways, that is, by arranging its longitudinal direction in the direction perpendicular to the drive shaft,
The height (thickness) in the direction of the laminated portion can be reduced (thinned), and a pill remover that is easier to use can be provided.

Unlike the electric razor, the pill remover is easy to use. Since the objects such as the cloth, the sweater, and the carpet are present on the lower side or the side, the pill remover is moved downward or sideways. Moreover, since the area of the object such as cloth is large, it is convenient to grab and use the pill remover by hand. Therefore, as described above, the blade, fan,
The fact that the laminated portion in the motor direction does not become long brings great advantages in use.

Further, according to the present invention, since the power source unit is arranged in a plane position which extends over or contacts both the drive unit and the dust box, the lateral dimension of the ball removing device, that is, the direction substantially perpendicular to the drive shaft can be reduced. That is, in contrast to the arrangement in which the power supply unit is attached to the side of the drive unit, the power supply unit enters the bottom of the drive unit, and the lateral dimension is reduced accordingly. Further, the front end side of the power supply unit has a positional relationship of entering the empty space at the bottom of the dust box, and the overall size can be reduced.

As described above, according to the present invention, the dimension in the laminating direction and the dimension in the lateral direction, which is the right angle direction, are reduced, and the overall size is reduced. It is a thing.
