Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning system, and more particularly to an outdoor exhaust type cleaning system of a building-integrated type.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional cleaning system integrated with a building, for example, in the case of a central cleaner device proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-16772, a suction port installed on the floor of a room and a cleaner body are installed. It is necessary to bury the communication pipe under the floor and in the wall only for the central cleaner. For this reason,
It is necessary to proceed with the piping construction work in sequence according to the building progress of the building, and the construction period of the piping construction tends to be long, and the installation target is currently limited to a part of the new wooden house. Moreover, when the pipes under the floor are clogged with dust, not only is it impossible to clean the room, but it is also necessary to peel off the floor surface and inspect the pipes.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to provide an outdoor exhaust type cleaning system which is easy to install and install in a building.

[0004]

The feature of the present invention is that the exhaust passage of the vacuum cleaner is connected to the exhaust pipe of the building at the downstream side of the water seal, and the exhaust of the cleaner is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. It is in the cleaning system that discharges.

[0005]

According to the present invention, since the exhaust passage of the vacuum cleaner can be shared with the drain pipe of the building, the buried pipe work dedicated to the exhaust inside the wall of the building or under the floor, which is required in the prior art, becomes unnecessary. The installation and construction can be greatly simplified, and an outdoor exhaust type cleaning system that can be easily installed in an existing building can be configured. Further, if the dust collecting part is installed in the room, there is no fear that the piping will be clogged with dust, and an outdoor exhaust type cleaning system can be obtained in which dust can be discarded indoors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall structure of a cleaning system installed in a building. A drainage pipe 6 connected to a drainage container such as a kitchen sink 2 and a washbasin 4 is provided with a water seal portion 6.
The exhaust passage 10 of the cleaner 8 is connected to the downstream side of the exhaust gas, and the exhaust is discharged to the outside through the drainage pipe 6. here,
The downstream side of the water seal portion 6A of the drainage pipeline 6 is open to the atmosphere through a drainage basin 12 and a sewer pipe 14.

FIG. 2 shows an intake unit 16 of a vacuum cleaner 8 for collecting dust during indoor cleaning, including a suction port 18, an extension pipe 20, an operating section 22, a control section 24 for controlling operation, and a control signal for this. It is composed of a wireless transmission device 26 that communicates to the main body 30 of the vacuum cleaner. Further, the intake passage 32 that connects the intake unit 16 and the main body 30 of the cleaner 8 is detachably configured by a flexible pipe such as a synthetic resin bellows hose.

Next, the main body 30 shown in FIG. 3 includes an electric blower 34, an operation control device 36, a dust bag 38, and a check valve 40.
A storage chamber 42 that can detachably store and is configured. In addition, the operation control device 36 of the main body 30 receives the control signal sent from the control unit 24 of the intake unit 16 via the wireless transmission device 26 via the receiving unit 36A, and controls the operation of the electric blower 34. Is. Further, the exhaust passage 10 communicates with the discharge side of the electric blower 34.

Next, FIG. 4 shows the washbasin 4 and the drainage pipe 6 installed in the room of the building shown in FIG.
The exhaust passage 10 from the main body 30 of the cleaner 8 is connected to the downstream side of the. Here, in the middle of the exhaust passage 10, a valve device 44 such as a check valve and a sluice valve that can open and close the flow passage and adjust the area is provided. As described above, the valve device 44 such as a check valve or a sluice valve is provided in the middle of the ventilation path from the suction port 18 of the cleaner 8 to the drainage conduit 6, and the exhaust path 10 is attached and detached on the upstream side of the valve device 44. When freely connected, it prevents water, insects, odors, and the like from entering the exhaust passage 10 from the drain pipe 6 side, and also a part of the exhaust passage 10 or the valve device 4
By positioning 4 above the openings such as the overflow edge 4A and the overflow port 4B of the washbasin 4, it is possible to prevent water from entering the valve device 44 and the exhaust path 10 through the drainage conduit 6. .

Next, the driving operation will be described. When performing a cleaning operation, when a command signal for starting or stopping operation is issued from the operation unit 24 through the wireless transmission device 26, the control unit 36 of the main body 30 receives the command signal via the receiving unit 36A, and the electric blower. The operation and stop of the control unit 34 is controlled. The dust sucked from the intake unit 16 while cleaning the room is collected by the dust bag 38 of the main body 30, and the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust passage 10 to the outside of the room through the valve device 44 and the drain pipe 6. To be done. Here, by wirelessly controlling the operation, electric wiring that connects the main body 30 and the control unit 24 becomes unnecessary,
The electric work can be simplified.

Further, since the dust does not enter the drainage pipe, it is possible to eliminate the fear of dust clogging in the buried pipe in the building in the prior art. Furthermore, even if a valuable product is inhaled accidentally, the operation can be immediately stopped and the product can be easily extracted from the dust collecting part of the main body, and the handleability is also good.

Further, the suctioned air in the room during the cleaning is discharged to the outside through the drainage pipe, and there is a problem that the odor of the collected dust is felt during the cleaning or the dust on the floor is taken up by the exhaust air from the cleaner. Absent.

In particular, even in the case of a reinforced concrete building or an existing house, which has been troublesome to install in the prior art, an outdoor exhaust type cleaning system can be easily constructed by utilizing the existing water distribution pipe. Therefore, even in a high-rise condominium during cold weather or strong winds, it is not necessary to open a window during cleaning, cleaning can be performed while maintaining the indoor heating / cooling temperature, and waste disposal can be performed indoors.

Further, in the embodiment, the exhaust passage 10 of the vacuum cleaner 8 is provided in the drain pipe of the washbasin 4, but the drainage passage of the other drainage containers such as the sink 2 and the bathtub, or the upper layer such as the rain gutter or the second floor. You may install in the middle of the drainage channel from the floor.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the outdoor exhaust type cleaning system can be easily integrated into the building by connecting the exhaust passage of the vacuum cleaner to the water distribution pipe after or during the construction of the drainage pipe of the building. It is possible to configure, and it is not necessary to bury underground piping for exclusive use of the vacuum cleaner under the floor or inside the wall, which is required in the case of the conventional technology, and installation workability is significantly improved, and it can be installed in existing buildings such as existing houses. An outdoor exhaust type cleaning system that can be easily installed can be configured.
