Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner equipped with a dust collection case that is separated from an electric power case.

Conventionally, in this type of vacuum cleaner, a handle is formed at the top of the case so that the dust collection case removed from the electric case can be easily carried. Generally, an opening is formed in the dust collection case to discard the debris accumulated in the dust collection chamber, and this opening is closed with a lid. Therefore, in order to open the lid, the lid is grasped, but there is a drawback that dust scatters as soon as the lid is opened, staining the hands. For this reason, it has been considered that a mechanism is provided near the handle, and the lid is opened by operating this mechanism, but in this case, both are connected in order to transmit the movement of the mechanism to the lid. The disadvantage is that the cover has to be placed close to the dust collection case, the lid is located at the front or rear of the dust collection case, and the direction of dust emission is horizontal, resulting in poor operability. This invention was made in view of these drawbacks, and it makes dust disposal extremely hygienic and
To provide a vacuum cleaner that can be operated with good operability.

In this invention, by grasping the handle formed on the upper part and operating the intelligence, the lid that closes the lower opening of the dust collection case can be opened via the operating member. It is possible to dispose of dust by dropping it downward, and its operability is extremely good.Moreover,
Since the operating member is located between one end wall of the dust collection chamber and the end frame serving as the outer wall, dust does not adhere to the operating member and smooth operation can be maintained. The structure is also simple. An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an electric case that houses and holds an electric blower 2, and a dust collection case 4 is detachably attached to one end of the electric blower 1 with a clamp 3.

This dust collection case 4 has both side walls 5 and one end wall 6 shaped into a trapezoid that expands downward, and has a dust collection chamber 4b.
A suction opening 7 is formed in one end wall 6 of the housing. Further, this dust collection case 4 has an end frame 9 which is an outer wall in which a suction port 8 is formed.
Equipped with: A filter unit 10 is stored and held on the electric case 1 side of the dust collection case 4,
Further, a compression plate 11 is provided on the upper part in a vertically movable manner. This compression plate 11 is fixed to the lower end of the operating piece 13 which is urged upward by a spring 12. Further, both sides of lids 15 and 16 for opening and closing the opening 14 are rotatably attached to the lower part of the dust collection case 4. A steering wheel 17 is attached to one lid 16. Next, the dust collection case 4
A plate-shaped operating member 18 for pushing open the lids 15 and 16 is inserted between the frame end 9 and the frame end 9 so as to be vertically movable. That is, the lids 15 and 16 are each held by a wire 19 in a suspended state from the operating member 18. This operating member 18 has a vertically long escape opening 20 formed in the center thereof to allow the suction ports 7 and 8 to escape, and an upper part of the operating member 18 has a vertically long relief opening 20.
A protruding piece 22 is formed to be joined to the upper surface of the protruding piece 21 of No. 3. A handle 4a is formed at the top of the dust collection case 4, and a push button 18 located near the handle 4a is formed at the top of the operating member 18.
A is formed into a −j body. In such a configuration,
The spring 12 urges the compression plate 11, the operating piece 13, and the actuating member 18 upward, so that the lids 15, 16
3 that closes the opening 14 by being suspended from the actuating member 18 via the
block

Then, cleaning is performed by connecting suction hoses (not shown) to the suction ports 7 and 8 and driving the electric blower 2.
The dust 23 is collected in sequence on the bottom of the dust collecting case 4, that is, on the lids 15 and 16. Then, by removing the suction hose and pushing the operating piece 1 (4), the compression plate 11 is lowered to compress the dust 23. Then, when you release your hand from the operating piece 13, the compression plate 1
1 returns, but since the dust 23 is compressed from top to bottom, it remains stable without collapsing even when the compression plate 11 is retracted. Then, remove the dust collection case 4 from the electric case 1 and pull the handle 4a.
Grasp the dust 23 and carry it to a place where it should be thrown away, and then remove the lids 15 and 1.
6, the dust 23 is thrown away. At this time, opening 1
4 is formed directly below, so there is no need to change the direction of the dust collecting case 4, and since the dust 23 is released in the compressed direction, there is less dust flying up, which is sanitary. In addition, since the lids 15 and 16 open while pressing down the compression plate 11 by pressing the push button 18a and the operating member 18, the work of discarding the dust 23 is made easier without having to pick up the dust by hand. It will be done. Furthermore, since the dust collection/dust case 4 expands downward, the resistance to push out the dust is also small. In this case as well, the actuating member 1 must release the push button 18a.
8 and the compression plate 11 are returned by the force of the spring 12, and the lid 15
, 16 are also pulled closed by the wire 19. Since the present invention is configured as described above, by grasping the handle formed on the upper part and operating the push button, the lid closing the lower opening of the dust collection case is opened via the operating member. As a result, the dust can be dumped by dropping the dust downward, and the operability is extremely good.Moreover, the operating member is connected to one end wall of the dust collection chamber and the end frame that becomes the outer wall. Since the actuating member is located between the actuating member and the actuating member, dust does not adhere to the actuating member, allowing smooth operation to be maintained, and the structure is simple.
