Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner in which a fragrance bag integrally constructed with a filter for collecting fine dust is arranged in a dust collection chamber for collecting dust. .

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of nuclear families in general households, and the increasing prevalence of heating and cooling equipment such as air conditioners has led to fewer opportunities to open the windows of the house. As a result, the bad odor of garbage emitted by the inhaled dust collected in the dust collection bag every time you vacuum is emitted from the vacuum cleaner's exhaust air, fills the room, and harms the person cleaning and the surrounding people. It was a place that made people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, in order to eliminate the bad odor from the exhaust, an attempt was made to absorb the odor with activated carbon fibers, etc., and as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-62431, a deodorizing agent was installed inside the dust collection container, which eliminated the bad odor from the exhaust. Therefore, Utility Model Application No. 61-64857 and Utility Model Application No. 6
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 0-188557, there are known dust collection bags impregnated with an aromatic agent and those in which an aromatic agent or deodorizer is disposed in an exhaust passage.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, in conventional technology, the odors of garbage emitted from the inhaled dust collected in the dust collection chamber in ordinary households are absorbed or deodorized for a period of 2 to 3 months. In this case, activated carbon fibers or the like are used to adsorb the particles, and vacuum cleaners with a passing wind speed of about 10 m/sea usually cannot sufficiently adsorb the particles.

In addition, in the case where an aromatic agent is installed in the exhaust passage, the particles of the aromatic agent will volatilize in a short period of time due to the exhaust air.
Requires a lot of maintenance to replace air fresheners.

Furthermore, in consideration of maintenance, if the dust collection bag or dust collection filter in the dust collection chamber is impregnated with fragrance,
Since the component of perfume grains is oil, if they are impregnated with too much, the surface of dust collection bags and dust collection filters will become sticky, and an oil film will form between the fibers that make up the bags and filters, increasing pressure loss. In addition, when the surface becomes sticky, fine particles of the collected dust adhere to the surface, increasing the pressure loss, and trapping the fragrance particles, causing the fragrance to disappear.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, air fresheners are mainly composed of oil, so currently the thermoplastic resin that makes up the outer shell of vacuum cleaners is
If the surface of a product impregnated with the above-mentioned aromatic agent comes into direct contact with a styrene resin such as a BS resin or a PS resin, this oil component will cause cracks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner equipped with a fragrance bag that does not have the disadvantages of the conventional example.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention disposes a fine dust collection filter in a dust collection chamber for collecting dust, and a part of the fine dust collection filter. Alternatively, a fragrance bag whose entire circumference is sealed is arranged on one side, and a tongue-shaped body such as cotton thread that communicates with the fragrance inside the fragrance bag is pulled out from a part of the sealed part of the fragrance bag, and this is used as a filter for collecting fine dust. By arranging it within the fibers, the fragrance is configured to gradually evaporate from the tongue-like body through capillary action using wind flow.

Function The collection capacity of the inhaled dust in the dust collection chamber of the vacuum cleaner is approximately 500
2, which corresponds to the amount of garbage produced in a typical household for about 2 to 3 months. Therefore, the dust sucked up by the vacuum cleaner is stored in the dust collection chamber for two to three months.

Therefore, in the present invention, a tongue-like body such as a cotton thread that communicates with the inside of the perfume bag is pulled out from a part of a perfume bag whose entire circumference is sealed with an aluminum pack, etc., and the tongue-like body is connected to fibers of a filter for collecting fine dust. By arranging it inside, during operation, wind flows around the tongue-like body pulled out from the perfume bag, and the perfume evaporates from the tongue-like body and exits from the exhaust gas.

The tongue-shaped body gradually releases the fragrance σ1 from the fragrance bag due to capillary action. Further, since there is no air flow when the machine is stopped, the wind does not pass through the fine dust collecting filter provided with the tongue-shaped body compared to when the machine is in operation, so that the fragrance does not evaporate as much.

In addition, when non-woven fabrics such as filters are directly impregnated with fragrance, the main component of the fragrance is oil, which makes the surface sticky and clogs, causing pressure loss. This can be avoided by placing it in .

Furthermore, with filters that are impregnated with fragrance, there is a limit to the amount of fragrance that can be impregnated even if you try to extend the fragrance retention period, and it is not possible to maintain a sufficient fragrance period. By allowing the fragrance to ooze out, the fragrance retention period can be easily adjusted by adjusting the size of the fragrance bag.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the dust collected by the dust suction motor 1 is collected in a dust collection bag installed in the dust collection chamber 3 of the main case co. The dust-containing airflow is generated by a tailer installed on the intake side of the dust collection bag≠ and the dust suction motor. The air is filtered by the exhaust port, and further passes through an exhaust port filter 6 provided on the exhaust port side and is discharged to the outside of the main body.

In the above configuration, the suction dust sucked by the suction force of the dust suction motor l is transferred to the dust collection bag attached to the dust collection chamber 3 via the front mold 7 and the packing r provided at the front part of the main case λ. The inhaled dust is collected in μ and stored in the dust collection chamber 3 until the dust collection bag≠ is filled with inhaled dust.

Next, the configuration of the filter j provided in the dust collection chamber 3 will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the figure, ri is a filter for collecting fine dust to prevent dust from entering the motor for sucking fine dust, and is made of a breathable non-woven fabric.

A perfume bag IO containing a perfume is adhered to -:a (or a part) of the fine dust collecting filter by heat welding or the like.

Further, the fragrance bag IO is provided with an oil-absorbing tongue-like body /l made of cotton thread or the like sandwiched between the fragrance bags IO so as to communicate with the fragrance therein, and is used for collecting fine dust as described above. located within the nonwoven fibers of the filter.

In the above configuration, inhaled dust is collected by the dust collection bag≠, and the dust-containing airflow filtered by the dust collection bag≠ is further filtered by the fine dust collection filter, and is placed in the fine dust collection filter. When passing around the tongue-like body // protruding from the perfume bag IO, the scent of the perfume exuded from the tongue-like body L/ is taken into the airflow, eliminating the bad odor of the inhaled dust, and being exhausted from the exhaust port /2. It can be discharged.

In addition, since the fragrance gradually oozes out from the tongue-shaped body drawn out from the fragrance bag IO, compared to filters impregnated with non-woven fabric, the fragrance is not exposed to direct wind, and is Only when the air passes through the fine dust collecting filter, the fragrance is better evaporated by the tongue-shaped body L/, and when the air is stopped, it is less likely to fly away, so the fragrance retention period of the fragrance is extended.

Furthermore, unlike filters impregnated with fragrances, there is no stickiness to the entire filter for fine dust collection, and the adhesion of fine dust does not cause the filter to become clogged, pressure loss increases, and performance deteriorates. Never.

Furthermore, since the fragrance bag 10 is provided separately from the filter and the fragrance is placed in it, there is a limit to the amount of impregnation in filter impregnation, but by changing the size of the fragrance bag IO, the fragrance retention period of the fragrance can be increased. It can be changed in the long term.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by arranging the tongue-like body pulled out from the perfume bag on the filter for collecting fine dust, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) By gradually volatilizing the liquid fragrance in the fragrance bag using the capillary action of the tongue-shaped body, a large amount of the fragrance will volatilize only when the wind is passing through, and it will be difficult to volatilize when the air is stopped, so it can be easily stored. The scent period is longer.

(2) Since the filter is not directly impregnated with perfume, the entire surface of the filter does not become sticky, and there is no performance deterioration due to clogging due to fine dust adhesion or increased pressure loss.

(3) By allowing the fragrance to ooze out of the fragrance bag, the amount of fragrance can be freely adjusted by increasing the capacity of the bag, compared to the impregnating method, and the fragrance retention period can be set freely.
