Description

吸塵器及其操作方法Vacuum cleaner and its operation method

本發明是有關於一種吸塵器及其操作方法,且特別是有關於一種手持式吸塵器及其操作方法。The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner and a method of operating the same, and more particularly to a hand-held vacuum cleaner and method of operating the same.

由於手持式吸塵器具有體積小、無線等等優點,因此手持式吸塵器有利於在車上或是其他沒有電源插座的地方使用。然而,也因為手持式吸塵器是以充電式電池作為其電源來源,因此目前手持式吸塵器最大的缺點就是其充電之後的使用時間相當有限。一般來說,傳統手持式吸塵器大約僅能持續使用約十幾分鐘。之後,便會因為電力不足而降低了其吸塵的能力。此外,傳統手持式吸塵器並無智慧功能。換言之,傳統手持式吸塵器在開啟之後僅會以單一轉速運轉,而無法自動地根據吸塵器的使用狀態或是吸塵量而調整其吸力或轉速。Because handheld vacuum cleaners have the advantages of small size, wireless, etc., handheld vacuum cleaners are useful in vehicles or other locations where there is no power outlet. However, because handheld vacuum cleaners use rechargeable batteries as their power source, the biggest drawback of handheld vacuum cleaners today is that their use time after charging is quite limited. In general, conventional hand-held vacuum cleaners can only be used for about ten minutes. After that, it will reduce its ability to vacuum due to insufficient power. In addition, traditional hand-held vacuum cleaners do not have the intelligence. In other words, the conventional hand-held vacuum cleaner only operates at a single rotation speed after being turned on, and cannot automatically adjust its suction force or rotation speed according to the state of use of the vacuum cleaner or the amount of dust suction.

一般來說,造成手持式吸塵器在充電之後的使用時間相當有限的主要原因是,當手持式吸塵器在開啟之後,其是持續在高轉速的吸塵狀態,而吸塵器在高轉速的強力吸塵狀態中是非常耗電的。換言之,在使用手持式吸塵器的過程之中,即使使用者還沒開始進行吸塵作業、或者是吸塵器所接觸之處沒有塵粒或髒物,吸塵器還是會一直處於強力吸塵狀態而持續地耗損充電電池中的電力。如此,即造成吸塵器的使用時間相當有限。In general, the main reason for the limited use time of the hand-held vacuum cleaner after charging is that when the hand-held vacuum cleaner is turned on, it is continuously in a high-speed vacuuming state, and the vacuum cleaner is in a high-speed powerful vacuuming state. Very power hungry. In other words, in the process of using the hand-held vacuum cleaner, even if the user has not started the vacuuming operation, or there is no dust or dirt at the place where the vacuum cleaner is in contact, the vacuum cleaner will always be in a strong vacuum state and continuously consume the rechargeable battery. In the power. As a result, the use time of the vacuum cleaner is quite limited.

本發明提出一種吸塵器及其操作方法,其可以提高吸塵器在充電之後的使用時間。The invention provides a vacuum cleaner and a method of operating the same, which can improve the use time of the vacuum cleaner after charging.

本發明提出一種吸塵器,其包括外殼、夾持部、葉輪模組、第一感應裝置、第二感應裝置、第三感應裝置以及控制器。外殼之一端具有吸塵口。夾持部與外殼相連。葉輪模組位於外殼的內部,且吸塵口與葉輪模組之間具有通道。第一感應裝置設置在夾持部上。第二感應裝置設置在吸塵口附近。第三感應裝置裝設在通道中。控制器與第一、第二以及第三感應裝置電性連接,且控制器根據第一、第二以及第三感應裝置之感應狀態,驅動葉輪模組之運轉轉速。The invention provides a vacuum cleaner comprising a casing, a clamping portion, an impeller module, a first sensing device, a second sensing device, a third sensing device and a controller. One end of the outer casing has a suction port. The clamping portion is connected to the outer casing. The impeller module is located inside the outer casing and has a passage between the suction port and the impeller module. The first sensing device is disposed on the clamping portion. The second sensing device is disposed near the suction port. The third sensing device is mounted in the channel. The controller is electrically connected to the first, second and third sensing devices, and the controller drives the operating speed of the impeller module according to the sensing states of the first, second and third sensing devices.

上述吸塵器的操作方法如下所述。當開啟吸塵器之後,控制器保持通電的狀態,以使吸塵器呈現待機狀態。當接觸吸塵器之夾持部時,控制器驅動葉輪模組以第一轉速運轉,以使吸塵器呈現待吸塵狀態。當吸塵器靠近或接觸物體表面時,控制器驅動葉輪模組以第二轉速運轉,以使吸塵器呈現一般吸力的吸塵狀態。當吸塵器吸入塵粒或是垃圾時,且吸入的塵粒或是垃圾的量是屬於相對低量時,控制器驅動葉輪模組維持第二轉速運轉。當吸塵器吸入塵粒或是垃圾時,且吸入的塵粒或是垃圾的量是屬於相對高量時,控制器驅動該葉輪模組以第三轉速運轉,以使吸塵器呈現最大吸力的吸塵狀態。The operation method of the above vacuum cleaner is as follows. After the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the controller remains energized to bring the vacuum cleaner into a standby state. When contacting the clamping portion of the vacuum cleaner, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at a first rotational speed to cause the vacuum cleaner to assume a state to be vacuumed. When the vacuum cleaner approaches or contacts the surface of the object, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at the second rotational speed so that the vacuum cleaner exhibits a vacuum state of general suction. When the vacuum cleaner inhales dust particles or garbage, and the amount of dust particles or garbage inhaled is relatively low, the controller drives the impeller module to maintain the second rotation speed. When the vacuum cleaner inhales dust particles or garbage, and the amount of the inhaled dust particles or garbage is relatively high, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at the third rotation speed so that the vacuum cleaner exhibits the maximum suction state of the vacuum.

基於上述,本發明之吸塵器可以自動地根據使用狀態 以及吸塵量而調整其吸力或轉速。因此,本發明之吸塵器於開啟之後不會一直持續於高轉速狀態,因而可以減少耗電,並增加吸塵器在充電之後的使用時間。Based on the above, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention can be automatically used according to the state of use. And adjust the suction or rotation speed by the amount of dust. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention does not continue to be in a high rotational speed state after being turned on, thereby reducing power consumption and increasing the use time of the vacuum cleaner after charging.

為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.

圖1是根據本實施例之吸塵器的透視示意圖,圖2是本實施例之吸塵器的外觀示意圖。請參考圖1以及圖2,本實施例之吸塵器包括外殼102、夾持部104、葉輪模組106、集塵盒108、第一感應裝置112、第二感應裝置114、第三感應裝置116以及控制器118。1 is a schematic perspective view of a vacuum cleaner according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the appearance of the vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the vacuum cleaner of the embodiment includes a housing 102 , a clamping portion 104 , an impeller module 106 , a dust collecting box 108 , a first sensing device 112 , a second sensing device 114 , and a third sensing device 116 . Controller 118.

外殼102之一端具有吸塵口102a,其是用來將塵粒或垃圾吸入吸塵器之內部。根據本實施例,外殼102上可進一步包括出風口130,其用以提供吸塵器內部之元件之散熱、氣體流通等等功能。One end of the outer casing 102 has a dust suction port 102a for sucking dust particles or garbage into the interior of the vacuum cleaner. According to the embodiment, the outer casing 102 may further include an air outlet 130 for providing functions of heat dissipation, gas circulation, and the like of components inside the vacuum cleaner.

夾持部104與外殼102相連。外殼102以及夾持部104構成吸塵器之特殊美化外觀。在本實施例中,夾持部104例如是一握把,外殼102以及夾持部104構成類似鸚鵡螺之外觀,然本發明不限於此。根據其他實施例,外殼102與夾持部104還可以是其他種形狀設計。The clamping portion 104 is coupled to the outer casing 102. The outer casing 102 and the clamping portion 104 constitute a special beautifying appearance of the vacuum cleaner. In the present embodiment, the grip portion 104 is, for example, a grip, and the outer casing 102 and the grip portion 104 constitute an appearance similar to a nautilus, but the invention is not limited thereto. According to other embodiments, the outer casing 102 and the clamping portion 104 may also be of other shape designs.

葉輪模組106位於外殼102的內部。特別是,吸塵口102a與葉輪模組106之間具有通道110。在此,葉輪模組106內包括馬達106a以及與馬達106a電性連接的葉輪結 構106b,以使吸塵器於開啟狀態時產生吸力。當然,葉輪模組106還可包括葉輪保護殼體、通風口等等結構。葉輪模組106可採用傳統吸塵器中所採用的任一種葉輪模組。The impeller module 106 is located inside the outer casing 102. In particular, the suction port 102a has a passage 110 between the impeller module 106. Here, the impeller module 106 includes a motor 106a and an impeller junction electrically connected to the motor 106a. The structure 106b is configured to generate suction when the cleaner is in an open state. Of course, the impeller module 106 can also include an impeller protection housing, a vent, and the like. The impeller module 106 can employ any of the impeller modules used in conventional vacuum cleaners.

集塵盒108位於外殼102的內部,且位於通道110與葉輪模組106之間。換言之,集塵盒108與通道110以及葉輪模組106連通。因此,當葉輪模組106啟動時,葉輪模組106所產生的吸力可經過集塵盒108、通道110至吸塵口102a,以使吸塵口102a處之塵粒或垃圾可被吸入而到達集塵盒108內。而集塵盒108則是用以收集被吸入的塵粒或垃圾。The dust box 108 is located inside the outer casing 102 and is located between the passage 110 and the impeller module 106. In other words, the dust box 108 is in communication with the passage 110 and the impeller module 106. Therefore, when the impeller module 106 is activated, the suction generated by the impeller module 106 can pass through the dust box 108 and the passage 110 to the dust suction port 102a, so that the dust particles or garbage at the dust suction port 102a can be sucked to reach the dust collection. Inside the box 108. The dust box 108 is used to collect dust particles or garbage that are inhaled.

第一感應裝置112設置在夾持部104上。裝設在夾持部104上之感應裝置1是用來感應使用者是否接觸夾持部104。第一感應裝置112可裝設在夾持部104之內部(如圖3A所示)。當然,第一感應裝置112也可裝設在夾持部104之外部(如圖3B所示)。此外,第一感應裝置112可為接觸式感應裝置或是非接觸式感應裝置。上述之接觸式感應裝置例如是按鈕或壓感感應器。上述之非接觸式感應裝置例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器。The first sensing device 112 is disposed on the clamping portion 104. The sensing device 1 mounted on the clamping portion 104 is for sensing whether the user touches the clamping portion 104. The first sensing device 112 can be mounted inside the clamping portion 104 (as shown in Figure 3A). Of course, the first sensing device 112 can also be disposed outside the clamping portion 104 (as shown in FIG. 3B). In addition, the first sensing device 112 can be a contact sensing device or a non-contact sensing device. The touch sensing device described above is, for example, a button or a pressure sensitive sensor. The above non-contact sensing device is, for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor or a photosensitive sensor.

舉例來說,若第一感應裝置112是裝設在夾持部104之內部,如圖3A所示,且其為非接觸式感應裝置(例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器),那麼對應設置於第一感應裝置112處之夾持部104可局部具有透光區,以使第一感應裝置112被暴露出。當使用者欲使用吸塵器而接觸夾持部104而將吸塵器提起時,裝設於夾持部 104之第一感應裝置112之感應光線便會被使用者之手部遮蔽而啟動第一感應裝置112產生感應訊號。For example, if the first sensing device 112 is installed inside the clamping portion 104, as shown in FIG. 3A, and it is a non-contact sensing device (for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor, or The photosensitive portion 4, the corresponding clamping portion 104 disposed at the first sensing device 112 may partially have a light transmitting region to expose the first sensing device 112. When the user wants to use the vacuum cleaner to contact the clamping portion 104 and lift the vacuum cleaner, it is installed in the clamping portion. The induced light of the first sensing device 112 of 104 is shielded by the user's hand to activate the first sensing device 112 to generate an inductive signal.

倘若第一感應裝置112是裝設在夾持部104之外部,如圖3B所示,且其為接觸式感應裝置(例如是按鈕感應器或壓感感應器),那麼當使用者欲使用吸塵器而接觸夾持部104而將吸塵器提起時,裝設於夾持部104之第一感應裝置112便會被按壓因而啟動第一感應裝置112產生感應訊號。If the first sensing device 112 is installed outside the clamping portion 104, as shown in FIG. 3B, and it is a contact sensing device (for example, a button sensor or a pressure sensor), then when the user wants to use the vacuum cleaner When the vacuum cleaner is lifted by contacting the clamping portion 104, the first sensing device 112 mounted on the clamping portion 104 is pressed to activate the first sensing device 112 to generate an inductive signal.

請再參照圖1,第二感應裝置114是設置在吸塵口102a附近。裝設在吸塵口102a處之第二感應裝置114是用來感應吸塵口102a是否靠近或接觸吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特定物體表面)。第二感應裝置114可裝設在吸塵口102a的外部(如圖4A所示)、吸塵口102a的內部(如圖4B所示)、或是吸塵口102a的邊緣(如圖4C所示)。第二感應裝置114可為接觸式感應裝置或是非接觸式感應裝置。上述之接觸式感應裝置例如是壓感感應器。上述之非接觸式感應裝置例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器。Referring again to FIG. 1, the second sensing device 114 is disposed adjacent to the dust suction port 102a. The second sensing device 114 installed at the dust suction port 102a is for sensing whether the dust suction port 102a is close to or in contact with a dust suction target (for example, a surface of a specific object such as a floor or a table top). The second sensing device 114 can be disposed outside the dust suction port 102a (as shown in FIG. 4A), inside the dust suction port 102a (as shown in FIG. 4B), or at the edge of the dust suction port 102a (as shown in FIG. 4C). The second sensing device 114 can be a contact sensing device or a non-contact sensing device. The above contact type sensing device is, for example, a pressure sensitive sensor. The above non-contact sensing device is, for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor or a photosensitive sensor.

舉例來說,若第二感應裝置114是裝設在吸塵口102a之外部,如圖4A所示,其可為非接觸式感應裝置(例如是紅外光感應器或感光感應器)。因此,當吸塵器之吸塵口102a靠近吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特定物體表面),裝設於吸塵口102a附近之第二感應裝置114之感應光線便會偵測到吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特 定物體表面)而啟動第二感應裝置114產生感應訊號。根據另一實施例,第二感應裝置114是採用接觸式感應裝置(例如是彈片型感應器或壓感感應器)時,那麼當吸塵器之吸塵口102a接觸吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特定物體表面)時,便會啟動第二感應裝置114產生感應訊號。For example, if the second sensing device 114 is disposed outside the dust suction port 102a, as shown in FIG. 4A, it may be a non-contact sensing device (for example, an infrared light sensor or a photosensitive sensor). Therefore, when the dust suction port 102a of the vacuum cleaner is close to the dust suction target (for example, the surface of other specific objects such as the ground or the table top), the light of the second sensing device 114 installed near the dust suction port 102a detects the dust suction target ( For example, the ground, the desktop, etc. The second sensing device 114 is activated to generate an inductive signal. According to another embodiment, when the second sensing device 114 is a contact sensing device (for example, a spring-type sensor or a pressure-sensitive sensor), when the dust suction port 102a of the vacuum cleaner contacts the dust-collecting object (for example, the ground, the desktop, etc.) The second sensing device 114 is activated to generate an inductive signal when the surface of another particular object is present.

倘若第二感應裝置114是裝設在吸塵口102a之內部,如圖4B所示,其可採用非接觸式感應裝置(例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器)。因此,當吸塵器之吸塵口102a靠近吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特定物體表面),裝設於吸塵口102a內部之第二感應裝置114之感應光線便會偵測到吸塵目標物(例如是地面、桌面等其他特定物體表面)而啟動第二感應裝置114產生感應訊號。If the second sensing device 114 is installed inside the dust suction port 102a, as shown in FIG. 4B, it can adopt a non-contact sensing device (for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor or a photosensitive sensor). Therefore, when the dust suction port 102a of the vacuum cleaner is close to the dust suction target (for example, the surface of other specific objects such as the ground or the table top), the light of the second sensing device 114 installed inside the dust suction port 102a detects the dust suction target ( For example, the surface of the other specific object such as the ground or the desktop, the second sensing device 114 is activated to generate an inductive signal.

倘若第二感應裝置114是裝設在吸塵口102a之邊緣,如圖4C所示,那麼其可視第二感應裝置114是否外露於吸塵口102a之外而決定其所採用的感應器。換言之,若第二感應裝置114是裝設在吸塵口102a之邊緣且外露於吸塵口102a之外,那麼第二感應裝置114可採用接觸式感應裝置(例如是彈片型感應器或壓感感應器)。若第二感應裝置114是裝設在吸塵口102a之邊緣且未外露於吸塵口102a之外,那麼第二感應裝置114可採用非接觸式感應裝置(例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器)或是接觸式感應裝置(例如是壓感感應器)。If the second sensing device 114 is installed at the edge of the dust suction port 102a, as shown in FIG. 4C, it can be determined whether the second sensing device 114 is exposed outside the dust suction port 102a to determine the sensor used. In other words, if the second sensing device 114 is disposed at the edge of the dust suction port 102a and exposed outside the dust suction port 102a, the second sensing device 114 can be a contact sensing device (for example, a spring sensor or a pressure sensor). ). If the second sensing device 114 is disposed at the edge of the dust suction port 102a and is not exposed outside the dust suction port 102a, the second sensing device 114 can adopt a non-contact sensing device (for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking feeling) A sensor or a light sensor) or a touch sensor (for example, a pressure sensor).

請再參照圖1,第三感應裝置116裝設在位於集塵盒 108與吸塵口102a之間的通道110中。換言之,第三感應裝置116是裝設在塵粒或垃圾被吸塵器吸入之後且到達集塵盒108之前所通過之處。第三感應裝置116可用來感應塵粒或垃圾之吸入量。在此,第三感應裝置116可為非接觸式感應裝置(如圖5A所示)或是接觸式感應裝置(如圖5B所示)。上述之接觸式感應裝置可為壓感感應器或壓電感測裝置。上述之非接觸式感應裝置為紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器。Referring again to FIG. 1, the third sensing device 116 is installed in the dust box. 108 is in the channel 110 between the dust suction port 102a. In other words, the third sensing device 116 is installed at a place where dust particles or garbage are sucked in by the vacuum cleaner and before passing to the dust box 108. The third sensing device 116 can be used to sense the amount of dust or garbage inhaled. Here, the third sensing device 116 can be a non-contact sensing device (as shown in FIG. 5A) or a contact sensing device (as shown in FIG. 5B). The above contact type sensing device can be a pressure sensitive sensor or a pressure sensing device. The above non-contact sensing device is an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor or a photosensitive sensor.

舉例而言,若第三感應裝置116為非接觸式感應裝置(例如是紅外光感應器、光遮斷感測器或感光感應器),如圖5A所示,第三感應裝置116包括發射器116a以及接收器116b,且發射器116a產生光線116c射向接收器116b。當吸塵器有吸入塵粒或垃圾時,塵粒或垃圾於通過第三感應裝置116的時候便會阻斷光線116c前進到達接收器116b。更詳細來說,在特定時間內,當塵粒或垃圾的吸入量越多時,通過第三感應裝置116的塵粒或垃圾量也就越多。此時第三感應裝置116之光線116c被吸入的塵粒或垃圾遮蔽阻斷的就會越多。因此,藉由上述光線被遮蔽的面積(光被阻斷的量)即可判斷塵粒或垃圾的吸入量的多寡。For example, if the third sensing device 116 is a non-contact sensing device (for example, an infrared light sensor, a light blocking sensor, or a photosensitive sensor), as shown in FIG. 5A, the third sensing device 116 includes a transmitter. 116a and receiver 116b, and transmitter 116a produces light 116c that is directed at receiver 116b. When the vacuum cleaner has inhaled dust particles or garbage, the dust particles or garbage will block the light 116c from advancing to the receiver 116b when passing through the third sensing device 116. In more detail, the more the amount of dust or garbage inhaled, the more the amount of dust or waste passing through the third sensing device 116 during a certain period of time. At this time, the light ray 116c of the third sensing device 116 is blocked by the dust particles or the garbage that is sucked in. Therefore, the amount of dust particles or garbage inhaled can be determined by the area where the light is blocked (the amount by which light is blocked).

若第三感應裝置116為接觸式感應裝置(例如是壓感感應器或是其他種接觸感應器),如圖5B所示,那麼當吸塵器有吸入塵粒或垃圾時,塵粒或垃圾於通過第三感應裝置116的時候便會撞擊第三感應裝置116,而使第三感應裝置116產生感應訊號。更詳細來說,在特定時間內,當 塵粒或垃圾的吸入量越多時,撞擊第三感應裝置116的塵粒或垃圾量也就越多。因此,藉由第三感應裝置116被撞擊的程度即可判斷塵粒或垃圾的吸入量的多寡。If the third sensing device 116 is a contact sensing device (for example, a pressure sensing sensor or other kind of contact sensor), as shown in FIG. 5B, when the vacuum cleaner has inhaled dust particles or garbage, the dust particles or garbage pass through. The third sensing device 116 will strike the third sensing device 116 and cause the third sensing device 116 to generate an inductive signal. In more detail, during a certain time, when The more the amount of dust or garbage inhaled, the more dust particles or garbage that hit the third sensing device 116. Therefore, the amount of dust particles or garbage inhaled can be judged by the degree to which the third sensing device 116 is struck.

請再參照圖1,控制器118裝設於外殼102內部,且與第一感應裝置112、第二感應裝置114以及第三感應裝置116電性連接,以使第一感應裝置112、第二感應裝置114以及第三感應裝置116之感應訊號得以傳回控制器118。而控制器118將依據第一感應裝置112、第二感應裝置114以及第三感應裝置116所傳回的感應訊號而驅動葉輪模組106之運轉。Referring to FIG. 1 , the controller 118 is disposed inside the housing 102 and electrically connected to the first sensing device 112 , the second sensing device 114 , and the third sensing device 116 to enable the first sensing device 112 and the second sensing device. The sensing signals of device 114 and third sensing device 116 are passed back to controller 118. The controller 118 drives the operation of the impeller module 106 according to the sensing signals transmitted by the first sensing device 112, the second sensing device 114, and the third sensing device 116.

根據本實施例,所述吸塵器更包括電源開關126,其可裝設於外殼120之任一處,其用來使使用者開啟或關閉此吸塵器之用。根據其他實施例,吸塵器之電源開關126也可裝設於夾持部104上,其主要是根據使用者之使用方便性、吸塵器之外觀設計等等之考量。電源開關126亦與控制器118電性連接。當控制器118接收電源開關126之啟動訊號或關閉訊號之後,控制器118將會依照上述訊號而驅動葉輪模組106開啟或關閉。According to this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner further includes a power switch 126 that can be mounted at any of the outer casings 120 for enabling the user to turn the vacuum cleaner on or off. According to other embodiments, the power switch 126 of the vacuum cleaner can also be mounted on the clamping portion 104, which is mainly based on the user's convenience of use, the design of the vacuum cleaner, and the like. The power switch 126 is also electrically connected to the controller 118.

圖6至圖12是上述圖1之吸塵器的操作方法示意圖。請先參照圖6,使用者於使用本實施例之吸塵器時,可先透過外殼102上之電源開關126而開啟吸塵器。6 to 12 are schematic views showing the operation method of the vacuum cleaner of Fig. 1 described above. Referring to FIG. 6 first, when the user uses the vacuum cleaner of the embodiment, the user can first open the vacuum cleaner through the power switch 126 on the outer casing 102.

如圖7所示,當開啟吸塵器之後,吸塵器內部的元件保持通電的狀態。而當控制器118接獲到電源開關126所發出的開啟訊號時,此時控制器118控制葉輪模組106保持靜止運轉狀態,因此吸塵器此時是呈現待機狀態。在本實施例中,控制器118可同時驅動顯示裝置顯示第一訊號,例如是特定燈號數目(例如是無燈號;或是1個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如LCM或LCD顯示面板,以文字、圖形或顏色顯示),以顯示吸塵器正處於待機狀態。As shown in Fig. 7, after the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the components inside the cleaner are kept energized. When the controller 118 receives the turn-on signal from the power switch 126, the controller 118 controls the impeller module 106 to remain in a stationary state, so that the vacuum cleaner is in a standby state at this time. In this embodiment, the controller 118 can simultaneously drive the display device to display the first signal, such as the number of specific lights (for example, no light number; or one light) or other display signals (such as LCM or LCD display). The panel, displayed in text, graphics, or color, to indicate that the vacuum cleaner is in standby.

請參照圖8,當使用者拿起吸塵器時,也就是當使用者接觸吸塵器之夾持部104時,裝設在夾持部104的第一感應裝置112即產生感應訊號。所述感應訊號傳回控制器118之後,控制器118便驅動葉輪模組106以第一轉速運 轉(低轉速),此時吸塵器是呈現待吸塵狀態。此時,控制器118更驅動顯示裝置120顯示第二訊號(例如是較第一訊號再多加顯示1個燈號),例如是特定燈號數目(例如是1個燈號;或是2個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如LCM或LCD顯示面板,以文字、圖形或顏色顯示),以顯示吸塵器是處於被握持狀態。Referring to FIG. 8, when the user picks up the vacuum cleaner, that is, when the user touches the clamping portion 104 of the vacuum cleaner, the first sensing device 112 mounted on the clamping portion 104 generates an inductive signal. After the inductive signal is transmitted back to the controller 118, the controller 118 drives the impeller module 106 to operate at the first speed. Turn (low speed), at this time the vacuum cleaner is in a state to be vacuumed. At this time, the controller 118 further drives the display device 120 to display the second signal (for example, one more light is displayed than the first signal), for example, the number of specific lights (for example, one light number; or two lights) No.) or other display signals (such as LCM or LCD display panel, displayed in text, graphics or color) to show that the vacuum cleaner is being held.

請參照圖9,當使用者將吸塵器靠近或接觸吸塵目標(例如是地面、桌面或是其他物體表面)時,裝設在吸塵口102a附近的第二感應裝置114即產生感應訊號,所述感應訊號傳回控制器118之後,控制器118便驅動葉輪模組106以第二轉速(相對中轉速)運轉。此時吸塵器呈現一般吸力的吸塵狀態。另外,控制器118更驅動顯示裝置120顯示第三訊號(例如是較第二訊號再多加顯示1個燈號),例如是特定燈號數目(例如是2個燈號;或是3個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如LCM或LCD顯示面板,以文字、圖形或顏色顯示)以顯示吸塵器是處於靠近或接觸吸塵目標狀態。Referring to FIG. 9, when the user approaches or contacts the vacuum cleaner (for example, the surface of the ground, the table top, or other objects), the second sensing device 114 disposed near the dust suction port 102a generates an inductive signal. After the signal is transmitted back to the controller 118, the controller 118 drives the impeller module 106 to operate at a second rotational speed (relative to the medium rotational speed). At this time, the vacuum cleaner exhibits a vacuum state of general suction. In addition, the controller 118 further drives the display device 120 to display the third signal (for example, more than one signal is displayed in the second signal), for example, the number of specific lights (for example, 2 lights; or 3 lights) ) or other display signals (such as LCM or LCD display panel, displayed in text, graphics or color) to indicate that the vacuum cleaner is in close proximity to or in contact with the vacuum target.

值得一提的是,請參照圖10,即使將吸塵器靠近非平面物體表面,裝設在吸塵口102a附近的第二感應裝置114亦可感應到而產生感應訊號。同樣地,所述感應訊號傳回控制器118之後,控制器118便驅動葉輪裝置106以第二轉速運轉,吸塵器呈現一般吸力的吸塵狀態。控制器118更驅動顯示裝置120顯示第三訊號(例如是較第二訊號再多加顯示1個燈號),例如是特定燈號數目(例如是2個燈號;或是3個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如文字、圖形或顏 色)以顯示吸塵器是處於靠近或接觸吸塵目標狀態。It is worth mentioning that, referring to FIG. 10, even if the vacuum cleaner is close to the surface of the non-planar object, the second sensing device 114 disposed near the dust suction port 102a can sense the sensing signal. Similarly, after the inductive signal is transmitted back to the controller 118, the controller 118 drives the impeller device 106 to operate at a second rotational speed, and the vacuum cleaner exhibits a vacuum state of general suction. The controller 118 further drives the display device 120 to display the third signal (for example, displaying one more light signal than the second signal), for example, the number of specific lights (for example, two lights; or three lights) or Is another display signal (such as text, graphics or color) Color) to show that the vacuum cleaner is in proximity to or in contact with the vacuum target.

請參照圖11,當吸塵器吸入塵粒或是垃圾160時,裝設在葉輪模組106與吸塵口102a之間之通道110內的第三感應裝置116會根據吸入的塵粒或是垃圾160的量而產生對應的感應訊號。當吸入的塵粒或是垃圾的量160是屬於低量時,此感應訊號傳回控制器118之後,控制器118便驅動葉輪裝置106維持第二轉速(相對中轉速)運轉。此時,控制器118更驅動顯示裝置120顯示第四訊號(例如是與第三訊號相同或是較第三訊號再多加顯示1個燈號),例如是特定燈號數目(例如是2~3個燈號;或是3~4個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如LCM或LCD顯示面板,以文字、圖形或顏色顯示)以顯示吸塵器是處於一般量吸塵狀態。Referring to FIG. 11, when the vacuum cleaner inhales the dust particles or the garbage 160, the third sensing device 116 installed in the passage 110 between the impeller module 106 and the dust suction port 102a may be based on the inhaled dust particles or the garbage 160. The quantity produces a corresponding sensing signal. When the amount of dust or waste 160 inhaled is a low amount, after the induction signal is transmitted back to the controller 118, the controller 118 drives the impeller device 106 to maintain the second rotational speed (relative to the medium rotational speed). At this time, the controller 118 further drives the display device 120 to display the fourth signal (for example, the same as the third signal or more than the third signal), for example, the number of specific lights (for example, 2 to 3) A light number; or 3~4 lights) or other display signals (such as LCM or LCD display panel, displayed in text, graphics or color) to indicate that the vacuum cleaner is in a normal vacuum condition.

請參照圖12,當吸塵器吸入塵粒或是垃圾170的量是相對大量時,裝設在葉輪模組106與吸塵口102a之間之通道110內的第三感應裝置116會產生對應的感應訊號。此感應訊號傳回控制器118之後,控制器118便驅動葉輪裝106以第三轉速(最高轉速)運轉,吸塵器呈現最大吸力的吸塵狀態。控制器118亦同時控制顯示裝置120顯示第五訊號(例如是較第四訊號再多加顯示1個燈號),例如是特定燈號數目(例如是3~4個燈號;或是4~5個燈號)或是其他顯示訊號(如LCM或LCD顯示面板,以文字、圖形或顏色顯示)以顯示吸塵器是處於高量吸塵狀態。Referring to FIG. 12, when the amount of the dust particles or the garbage 170 is relatively large, the third sensing device 116 installed in the channel 110 between the impeller module 106 and the dust suction port 102a generates a corresponding sensing signal. . After the sensing signal is transmitted back to the controller 118, the controller 118 drives the impeller assembly 106 to operate at a third rotational speed (maximum rotational speed), and the vacuum cleaner exhibits a vacuum state of maximum suction. The controller 118 also controls the display device 120 to display the fifth signal (for example, displaying more than one light signal than the fourth signal), for example, the number of specific lights (for example, 3 to 4 lights; or 4 to 5) A light signal) or other display signal (such as LCM or LCD display panel, displayed in text, graphics or color) to indicate that the vacuum cleaner is in a high vacuum state.

上述操作說明是以三段轉速之吸塵為例來說明。然本發明不限於此。根據其他實施例,還可對於吸塵器之轉速 作更多段數的設計。The above operation description is illustrated by taking the vacuum of three-stage rotation as an example. However, the invention is not limited thereto. According to other embodiments, the speed of the vacuum cleaner can also be Make more design of the number of segments.

上述之運作模式的流程如圖13所示。更詳細來說,當開啟吸塵器之後(S09),吸塵器之葉輪模組保持靜止運轉狀態(S10),因此吸塵器此時是呈現待機狀態。此時,控制器驅動顯示裝置顯示第一訊號(S11)。The flow of the above operational mode is shown in FIG. More specifically, after the vacuum cleaner is turned on (S09), the impeller module of the cleaner is kept in a stationary state (S10), so that the cleaner is in a standby state at this time. At this time, the controller drives the display device to display the first signal (S11).

接著,倘若第一感應裝置並未感應到使用者接觸到吸塵器之夾持部(S12),那麼此流程將回到步驟S10,以使吸塵器持續保持在待機狀態。倘若第一感應裝置有感應到使用者接觸到吸塵器之夾持部(S12),那麼第一感應裝置發送感應訊號至控制器。而控制器在接獲所述感應訊號之後,即驅動葉輪模組以第一轉速運轉,其例如是25%之轉速運轉(S14),因此吸塵器此時是呈現待吸塵狀態。此時,控制器驅動顯示裝置顯示第二訊號(S16)。本實施例之第一轉速是以25%之轉速為例來說明,然,根據其他實施例,第一轉速還可根據實際需要而設定成其他轉速。Then, if the first sensing device does not sense that the user touches the nip portion of the cleaner (S12), the flow returns to step S10 to keep the cleaner in the standby state. If the first sensing device senses that the user touches the clamping portion of the vacuum cleaner (S12), the first sensing device transmits the sensing signal to the controller. After the controller receives the sensing signal, the driving impeller module is operated at the first rotating speed, for example, it is operated at a speed of 25% (S14), so the vacuum cleaner is present in a state to be vacuumed. At this time, the controller drives the display device to display the second signal (S16). The first rotational speed of the embodiment is exemplified by a rotational speed of 25%. However, according to other embodiments, the first rotational speed may be set to other rotational speeds according to actual needs.

之後,倘若第二感應裝置並未感應到吸塵口靠近或接觸桌面或其他物體時(S18),那麼此流程將回到步驟S12,以使吸塵器持續保持在待吸塵狀態。倘若第二感應裝置有感應到吸塵口靠近或接觸桌面或其他物體(S18),那麼第二感應裝置會發送感應訊號至控制器。控制器在接獲所述感應訊號之後,會驅動葉輪模組以第二轉速運轉,其例如是50~75%之轉速運轉(S20),因此吸塵器此時是呈現一般吸力的吸塵狀態。此時,控制器驅動顯示裝置顯示第三訊號(S22)。本實施例之第二轉速是以50~75%之轉速為例來說 明,然,根據其他實施例,第二轉速還可根據實際需要而設定成其他轉速。Thereafter, if the second sensing device does not sense that the suction port approaches or contacts the table top or other object (S18), the flow returns to step S12 to keep the cleaner in the state to be vacuumed. If the second sensing device senses that the dust suction port is close to or touches the desktop or other object (S18), the second sensing device sends an induction signal to the controller. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at a second rotational speed, for example, 50 to 75% of the rotational speed (S20), so the vacuum cleaner is now in a vacuum state that exhibits general suction. At this time, the controller drives the display device to display the third signal (S22). The second rotation speed of this embodiment is 50 to 75% of the rotation speed as an example. According to other embodiments, the second rotational speed may also be set to other rotational speeds according to actual needs.

接著,倘若第三感應裝置並未感應到有吸入塵粒或垃圾(S24)時,那麼此流程將回到步驟S18,以使吸塵器持續保持在一般吸力的吸塵狀態。倘若第三感應裝置感應到有吸入塵粒或垃圾(S24)時,第三感應裝置會感應到並根據吸入的量而發送感應訊號至控制器。控制器在接獲所述感應訊號之後,會驅動葉輪模組以第三轉速或更高轉速運轉,其例如當第三感應裝置感應到吸入塵粒或是垃圾170的量是屬於低量時,控制器便驅動葉輪裝置維持第二轉速(相對中轉速)運轉,此時,控制器驅動顯示裝置顯示第四訊號。當第三感應裝置感應到吸入塵粒或是垃圾170的量是相對大量時,控制器便驅動葉輪裝置以80~100%之轉速運轉(S26),因此吸塵器此時是呈現最大吸力的吸塵狀態。此時,控制器驅動顯示裝置顯示第五訊號(S28)。本實施例之第三轉速是以80~100%之轉速為例來說明,然,根據其他實施例,第三轉速還可根據實際需要而設定成其他轉速。Then, if the third sensing device does not sense the inhalation of dust particles or garbage (S24), the flow returns to step S18 to maintain the vacuum cleaner in the vacuum state of the general suction. If the third sensing device senses the inhalation of dust particles or garbage (S24), the third sensing device senses and sends an inductive signal to the controller according to the amount of inhalation. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at a third rotational speed or higher, for example, when the third sensing device senses that the amount of inhaled dust particles or the garbage 170 is low. The controller drives the impeller device to maintain the second rotational speed (relative to the medium rotational speed). At this time, the controller drives the display device to display the fourth signal. When the third sensing device senses that the amount of the inhaled dust particles or the garbage 170 is relatively large, the controller drives the impeller device to operate at a speed of 80 to 100% (S26), so that the vacuum cleaner is the vacuuming state that exhibits the maximum suction force at this time. . At this time, the controller drives the display device to display the fifth signal (S28). The third rotation speed in this embodiment is exemplified by the rotation speed of 80 to 100%. However, according to other embodiments, the third rotation speed may be set to other rotation speeds according to actual needs.

值得一提的是,在步驟S24~S28之間,第三感應裝置根據吸入的塵粒或垃圾的量,而發送不同的感應訊號至控制器。控制器則根據上述的感應訊號而驅動葉輪模組以不同的轉速運轉。換言之,當吸入的塵粒或垃圾的量越多時,控制器則驅動葉輪模組以越高的轉速運轉。It is worth mentioning that between steps S24-S28, the third sensing device sends different sensing signals to the controller according to the amount of dust particles or garbage inhaled. The controller drives the impeller module to operate at different speeds according to the above-mentioned sensing signals. In other words, when the amount of dust particles or garbage inhaled is increased, the controller drives the impeller module to operate at a higher rotational speed.

綜上所述,因本實施例之吸塵器在夾持部裝設有第一感應裝置,在吸塵口附近裝設有第二感應裝置,且於葉輪 模組與吸塵口之間的通道內裝設有第三感應裝置。因此本實施例之吸塵器在開啟之後可以根據其使用的狀態(例如待機狀態、有無塵粒/垃圾狀態以及吸入塵粒/垃圾量的狀態),而即時且自動地調整葉輪模組的轉速。換言之,本實施例之吸塵器在開啟之後不會持續地維持在高轉速的耗電狀態,因此本實施例之手持式吸塵器相較於傳統手持式吸塵器具有節省電力的效果。In summary, the vacuum cleaner of the embodiment is provided with a first sensing device at the clamping portion, a second sensing device is disposed near the dust suction port, and the impeller is mounted on the impeller. A third sensing device is disposed in the passage between the module and the suction port. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment can adjust the rotational speed of the impeller module instantaneously and automatically according to the state in which it is used (for example, the standby state, the presence or absence of dust/waste status, and the state of inhaling dust/waste amount). In other words, the vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment does not continuously maintain the power consumption state at a high rotational speed after being turned on, and thus the hand-held vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment has an electric power saving effect as compared with the conventional hand-held vacuum cleaner.

雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,故本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
