[0001] 本発明は、燃料電池を電源として用いたシエーノ 、そのシエーバの刃先に付着した 体毛や皮膚組織を洗浄により除去する刃先洗浄装置、及びこれらシエーバと刃先洗 浄装置を備えたシエーバシステムに関するものである。  [0001] The present invention relates to a Sieno using a fuel cell as a power source, a blade edge cleaning device for removing body hair and skin tissue adhering to the blade edge of the Siever by cleaning, and a Siever equipped with the Siever and the blade edge cleaning device. It is about the system.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 例えば、特開 2004— 243112号公報に記載された従来の刃先洗浄装置では、洗 浄液をフィルタで濾過しながら連続的に供給しつつ、シヱーバの刃先に付着した体 毛や皮膚組織を洗浄し、さらに乾燥することが可能である。また、例えば、特開平 8— 117016号公報に記載された他の従来の刃先洗浄装置では、シエーバの刃先を刃 先洗浄装置で洗浄しながら、そのシエーバに充電を行うことが可能である。これらの 刃先洗浄装置を用いることにより、洗面所等の水回り近くの場所以外、例えばリビン グゃ寝室等の水回りから離れた場所であってもシエーバを保管することが可能になり [0002] For example, in the conventional blade edge cleaning device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-243112, the hair and skin tissue adhered to the blade edge of the sieve while continuously supplying the cleaning liquid while filtering it with a filter Can be washed and further dried. Further, for example, in another conventional blade edge cleaning device described in JP-A-8-117016, it is possible to charge the shearer while cleaning the blade edge of the sieve with the blade edge cleaning device. By using these blade edge cleaning devices, it is possible to store the shiaver even in places other than near the water, such as a washroom, or in places away from the water, such as a living room.
、利便性が向上されている。 Convenience has been improved.
[0003] ところ力 これら従来の刃先洗浄装置では、商用電力を電源としているため、壁に 設置されたコンセントの近くで使用される力、、あるいはコンセントとの間に延長ケープ ルを介して使用される。そのため、使用可能な場所がある程度限定される。さらに、延 長ケーブルを使用した場合、ユーザがケーブルに足を引っ掛けるおそれがあり、 つ、部屋の見栄えが悪くなる。  [0003] However, since these conventional blade edge cleaning devices use commercial power as the power source, they are used near the outlet installed on the wall, or through an extension cable between the outlet and the outlet. The Therefore, the place where it can be used is limited to some extent. In addition, when an extension cable is used, the user may get caught in the cable, and the room looks worse.
[0004] また、二次電池を用いた充電式シエーバでは、頻繁に充電器 (又は上記刃先洗浄 装置)に装着して充電しておくなど、ユーザは常時電池の充電状態に注意を払わな ければならず、煩わしさを伴う。また、一旦電池容量が低下してしまうと、充電完了ま でに一定の時間を要するため、その場合にはすぐにシエーバを使用することができな い。  [0004] In addition, in a rechargeable sieve using a secondary battery, the user must pay attention to the state of charge of the battery at all times, for example, by attaching it to a charger (or the above blade edge cleaning device) and charging it. It must be annoying. Also, once the battery capacity is reduced, it takes a certain amount of time to complete charging. In this case, the shearer cannot be used immediately.
[0005] 一方、持ち運び可能な電気機器の電源として燃料電池が注目されて!/、る。そこで、 刃先洗浄装置の電源として燃料電池を用いれば、刃先洗浄装置の使用可能場所は コンセントの近くに限定されず、または延長ケーブルを使用する必要もなくなり、完全 に自由になる。また、シエーバの電源として燃料電池を用いれば、直ちにシエーバを 使用することが可能になる。しかしながら、ユーザは常時シエーバ及び刃先洗浄装置 の燃料電池の燃料の残量に注意を払わなくてはならないという煩わしさからは解放さ れなレ、。 On the other hand, fuel cells are attracting attention as a power source for portable electric devices! Therefore, if a fuel cell is used as the power source of the blade cleaning device, the place where the blade cleaning device can be used is There is no need to use an extension cable near the outlet, or it becomes completely free. In addition, if a fuel cell is used as the power source for the sieve, the sieve can be used immediately. However, the user is always free from the annoyance of having to pay attention to the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel cell of the sieve and blade cleaning device.
発明の開示  Disclosure of the invention
[0006] 本発明は、シエーバ及び刃先洗浄装置の電源として燃料電池を用いた場合に、ュ 一ザが燃料電池の燃料の残量にあまり注意を払わなくてもすむシエーノ 刃先洗浄 装置及びこれらシエーバと刃先洗浄装置を備えたシエーバシステムを提供することを 目的としている。  [0006] The present invention relates to a Sieno blade cleaning device and a Sieve blade cleaning device in which a user does not have to pay much attention to the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel cell when a fuel cell is used as a power source for the sieve and the blade cleaning device. The objective is to provide a sieve system equipped with a blade cleaning device.
[0007] 本発明の一態様に係るシエーバは、内刃及び外刃で構成された刃先部と、前記外 刃に対して前記内刃を直線往復運動させるモータと、アルコール燃料をエネルギー 源とし、前記モータに電力を供給する燃料電池と、アルコール燃料が貯蔵される燃料 タンクを備えたシエーバであって、前記燃料タンクのアルコール燃料の残量を測定す る残量センサと、前記燃料タンクに設けられ、前記シエーバが刃先洗浄装置の所定 の装着位置に装着されると刃先洗浄装置の管路に接続されて開き、前記シエーバが 前記刃先洗浄装置から取り外されると閉じ、前記刃先洗浄装置から前記燃料タンク へのアルコール燃料の自動補給を可能とする弁体をさらに備えたことを特徴とする。  [0007] A shearer according to an aspect of the present invention uses a blade tip portion constituted by an inner blade and an outer blade, a motor for linearly reciprocating the inner blade with respect to the outer blade, alcohol fuel as an energy source, A fuel cell that supplies electric power to the motor, and a fuel tank that includes a fuel tank that stores alcohol fuel, a remaining amount sensor that measures the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the fuel tank, and a fuel tank that is provided in the fuel tank When the sieve is mounted at a predetermined mounting position of the blade edge cleaning device, it is connected and opened to the pipe line of the blade edge cleaning device, and is closed when the sieve is removed from the blade edge cleaning device, and the fuel is removed from the blade edge cleaning device. It is further provided with a valve body that enables automatic supply of alcohol fuel to the tank.
[0008] また、本発明の一態様に係る刃先洗浄装置は、アルコールが貯蔵されたタンクと、 シエーバが所定の装着位置に装着されたときに、前記シエーバの刃先部が装填され る洗浄皿と、前記洗浄皿に前記タンクからアルコールを洗浄液として供給する洗浄用 ポンプと、前記シヱーバが所定の装着位置に装着されたときに、前記シヱーバの燃 料電池の燃料タンクに接続され、前記タンクからアルコールを燃料として前記燃料タ ンクに供給するシエーバ用燃料供給機構と、前記所定の装着位置に装着された前記 シエーバから提供される前記燃料タンクの燃料の残量情報に応じて、前記シェーバ 用燃料供給機構を駆動制御する制御部を備えたことを特徴とする。  [0008] In addition, a blade tip cleaning apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a tank in which alcohol is stored, a cleaning dish on which a blade tip portion of the sieve is loaded when the sieve is mounted at a predetermined mounting position. A cleaning pump for supplying alcohol as a cleaning liquid from the tank to the cleaning dish; and when the sieve is mounted at a predetermined mounting position, the tank is connected to a fuel tank of a fuel cell of the sieve, and the alcohol is discharged from the tank. The shaver fuel supply mechanism supplies the fuel tank to the fuel tank as fuel and the fuel supply for the shaver according to the fuel remaining amount information of the fuel tank provided from the sieve mounted at the predetermined mounting position. A control unit for driving and controlling the mechanism is provided.
[0009] さらに、本発明の一態様に係るシエーバシステムは、シエーバと刃先洗浄装置を備 えたシエーバシステムであって、前記シエーバは、アルコール燃料をエネルギー源と する燃料電池を電源とし、前記刃先洗浄装置は、アルコールを洗浄液として使用す ると共に、前記シヱーバの刃先洗浄中に、前記アルコールを燃料として前記シヱーバ に供給することを特徴とする。 [0009] Further, a sieve system according to an aspect of the present invention is a sieve system including a sieve and a blade cleaning device, and the sieve is configured to use alcohol fuel as an energy source. The blade tip cleaning device uses alcohol as a cleaning liquid and supplies the alcohol as fuel to the sieve while cleaning the blade tip of the sieve.
[0010] このような構成によれば、シエーバを刃先洗浄装置に装着して刃先部を洗浄してい る間に、刃先洗浄装置からアルコールが燃料としてシエーバ側に自動的に供給され るので、そのため、ユーザは、シエーバの燃料電池のアルコーノレ燃料の残量にあまり 注意を払わなくてもすみ、いつでもシエーバを使用することができる。また、ユーザは シエーバにアルコール燃料を補給する手間から開放される。さらに、アルコール燃料 の補給は電池の充電に比べて短時間で行うことができるので、アルコール燃料の補 給後すぐに、燃料電池によって発電された電力でシエーバを使用することができる。 図面の簡単な説明 [0010] According to such a configuration, alcohol is automatically supplied as fuel from the blade cleaning device to the sieve while the blade is mounted on the blade cleaning device and the blade tip is being cleaned. The user does not need to pay much attention to the remaining amount of alcohol in the fuel cell of the Sieber fuel cell and can use the Sieber at any time. In addition, the user is freed from the trouble of supplying alcohol fuel to Sieba.

A capacitor may be used instead of the secondary battery 7.
[0017] 燃料タンク 13は、上記のようにシヱーバ 2の本体に対して着脱自在に構成されてい る。燃料タンク 13がシエーバ 2に装着されると、ポンプ 16が駆動され、燃料タンク 13 力、ら吸い上げられたアルコール燃料力 S、管路 17を介して第 1燃料電池 8に供給され る。また、燃料タンク 13には、シエーバ 2が刃先洗浄装置 3の洗浄皿 25上に装着され ると刃先洗浄装置 3の管路 45に接続されて開き、シエーバ 2が刃先洗浄装置 3の洗 浄皿 25から取り外されると閉じる弁体 19が設けられている。そのため、シエーバ 2を 刃先洗浄装置 3の洗浄皿 25から取り外しても、アルコール燃料が燃料タンク 13から 漏れることはない。 [0018] 第 1燃料電池 8は、力ソード 10及びアノード 11によって電解膜 12が挟まれた構成を 有しており、ポンプ 16によって吸い上げられたアル 燃料をエネルギー源として 、アルコールと空気中の酸素とを反応させて発電を行う。発電の際、力ソード 10側で は空気(酸素)が取り込まれ、水が排出される。その水は、布などの図示しない吸収 材に一旦吸収された後、空気中へ放散される。アノード 11側では、エタノールなどの アルコール燃料が取り込まれ、二酸化炭素が排出される。発電された電力は、図 2A に示すように、基板に形成された回路部 15に入力され、昇圧されて二次電池 7に蓄 積される。 [0017] The fuel tank 13 is configured to be detachable from the body of the seeker 2 as described above. When the fuel tank 13 is mounted on the sieve 2, the pump 16 is driven and supplied to the first fuel cell 8 via the fuel tank 13, the alcohol fuel force S drawn up, and the pipe line 17. Further, in the fuel tank 13, when the sieve 2 is mounted on the cleaning dish 25 of the blade cleaning device 3, it is connected to the pipe 45 of the blade cleaning device 3 and opened, and the sieve 2 is opened in the cleaning dish of the blade cleaning device 3. A valve element 19 is provided that closes when removed from 25. Therefore, alcohol fuel does not leak from the fuel tank 13 even if the sieve 2 is removed from the cleaning dish 25 of the blade edge cleaning device 3. [0018] The first fuel cell 8 has a configuration in which the electrolyte membrane 12 is sandwiched between the force sword 10 and the anode 11, and the alcohol and the oxygen in the air are used as the energy source by the al fuel sucked up by the pump 16. To generate electricity. During power generation, air (oxygen) is taken in and water is discharged on the power sword 10 side. The water is once absorbed by an absorbent material (not shown) such as cloth and then released into the air. On the anode 11 side, alcohol fuel such as ethanol is taken in and carbon dioxide is discharged. As shown in FIG. 2A, the generated electric power is input to the circuit unit 15 formed on the substrate, boosted, and stored in the secondary battery 7.
[0019] 一方、図 1に示すように、アルコール洗浄液 20が貯蔵されたカートリッジ式の洗浄 液タンク 27は、刃先洗浄装置 3の底部に着脱自在に装着されている。刃先洗浄装置 3は、洗浄液タンク 27内のアルコール洗浄液 20を洗浄皿 25に供給する洗浄用ボン プ 30と、アルコール燃料と空気中の酸素とを反応させて発電する刃先洗浄装置側の 第 2燃料電池 36と、洗浄液タンク 27内のアルコール洗浄液 20を燃料としてシエーバ 2の燃料タンク 13に供給するシヱーバ用ポンプ 31及び管路 45 (シヱーバ用燃料供 給機構)と、洗浄液タンク 27内のアルコール洗浄液 20を燃料として第 2燃料電池 36 に供給する電池用ポンプ 32及び管路 47 (刃先洗浄装置用燃料供給機構)と、刃先 洗浄装置 3の動作を制御する制御回路 (制御部) 35を有して!/、る。  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a cartridge type cleaning liquid tank 27 in which an alcohol cleaning liquid 20 is stored is detachably attached to the bottom of the blade edge cleaning device 3. The blade edge cleaning device 3 is a second fuel on the blade edge cleaning device side that generates electricity by reacting alcohol fuel and oxygen in the air with a cleaning pump 30 that supplies the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 in the cleaning liquid tank 27 to the cleaning dish 25. The battery 36, the scavenger pump 31 and the pipe 45 (sheber fuel supply mechanism) for supplying the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 in the cleaning liquid tank 27 as fuel to the fuel tank 13 of the sieve 2 and the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 in the cleaning liquid tank 27 A battery pump 32 and a pipe 47 (fuel supply mechanism for the blade edge cleaning device) for supplying the fuel to the second fuel cell 36 as fuel and a control circuit (control unit) 35 for controlling the operation of the blade edge cleaning device 3 ! /
[0020] 刃先洗浄装置 3は、洗浄用ポンプ 30を駆動させることで、洗浄液タンク 27に貯蔵さ れたアルコール洗浄液 20を吸い上げ、管路 41及び髭屑除去用のフィルタ 49を介し て洗浄皿 25上に供給する。そのため、刃先洗浄装置 3は、シエーバ 2が所定の装着 位置に装着された場合に、シ バ 2の刃先部 6をアルコール洗浄液 20に浸して洗 浄することが可能である。なお、シ バ 2の刃先部 6の洗浄は、シ バ 2の刃先部 6を適宜振動させながら行うこともできる。刃先部 6の洗浄が終了すると、電磁弁 43が 開かれ、洗浄皿 25内のアルコール洗浄液 20は管路 42を介して洗浄液タンク 27に 排出される。そして、洗浄液タンク 27の底部には、髭屑が沈殿する。洗浄終了後、送 風機 50が駆動されてシ バ 2の刃先部 6の乾燥が行われる。  [0020] The blade tip cleaning device 3 drives the cleaning pump 30 to suck up the alcohol cleaning solution 20 stored in the cleaning solution tank 27, and passes through the conduit 41 and the filter 49 for removing swarf 25 to the cleaning dish 25. Feed on. Therefore, the blade edge cleaning device 3 can be cleaned by immersing the blade edge portion 6 of the shear 2 in the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 when the sieve 2 is mounted at a predetermined mounting position. Note that the cutting edge portion 6 of the shiver 2 can also be cleaned while appropriately vibrating the cutting edge portion 6 of the shiver 2. When the cleaning of the blade edge portion 6 is completed, the solenoid valve 43 is opened, and the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 in the cleaning dish 25 is discharged to the cleaning liquid tank 27 through the conduit 42. And, at the bottom of the cleaning liquid tank 27, sawdust is deposited. After cleaning, the air blower 50 is driven to dry the blade edge 6 of the shiver 2.
[0021] 刃先洗浄装置側の第 2燃料電池 36は、シ バ 2の第 1燃料電池 8と同様に、カソ ード 37及びアノード 38によって電解膜 40が挟まれた構成を有している。この第 2燃 料電池 36は、洗浄液タンク 27に貯蔵され、洗浄液として使用されるエタノール等の アルコールをエネルギー源とする。刃先洗浄装置 3では、電池用ポンプ 32を駆動さ せることにより洗浄液タンク 27からアルコール洗浄液 20を管路 47及び髭屑除去用の フィルタ 48を介して吸い上げ、アルコール燃料として第 2燃料電池 36に供給し、アル コールと空気中の酸素とを反応させて発電を行う。 The second fuel cell 36 on the blade edge cleaning device side has a configuration in which the electrolytic membrane 40 is sandwiched between the cathode 37 and the anode 38, similarly to the first fuel cell 8 of the shiver 2. This second burn The battery 36 is stored in the cleaning liquid tank 27 and uses alcohol such as ethanol as an energy source. In the blade edge cleaning device 3, by driving the battery pump 32, the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 is sucked from the cleaning liquid tank 27 through the conduit 47 and the filter 48 for removing swarf and supplied to the second fuel cell 36 as alcohol fuel. Then, power is generated by reacting alcohol with oxygen in the air.
[0022] 発電の際、力ソード 37側では空気(酸素)が取り込まれ、水が排出される。その水は 、布などの図示しない吸収材に一旦吸収された後、空気中に放散される。アノード 38 側では、アルコールが取り込まれて二酸化炭素が排出される。発電された電力は、洗 浄用ポンプ 30、シエーバ用ポンプ 31、電池用ポンプ 32、電磁弁 43、送風機 50及び それらを駆動制御する制御回路 35などに供給される。なお、第 2燃料電池 36で発電 された電力を、シエーバ 2の二次電池 7に供給するように構成してもよい。  [0022] During power generation, air (oxygen) is taken in and water is discharged on the side of the force sword 37. The water is once absorbed by an absorbent material (not shown) such as a cloth and then diffused into the air. On the anode 38 side, alcohol is taken in and carbon dioxide is discharged. The generated electric power is supplied to a cleaning pump 30, a sieve pump 31, a battery pump 32, a solenoid valve 43, a blower 50, a control circuit 35 that drives and controls them. Note that the power generated by the second fuel cell 36 may be supplied to the secondary battery 7 of the sieve 2.
[0023] シエーバシステム 1においては、シエーバ 2が刃先洗浄装置 3の所定の装着位置に 装着され、刃先洗浄装置 3に設けられた所定の操作スィッチ(図示せず)から洗浄指 示の信号が制御回路 35に入力されると、制御回路 35は、シエーバ 2の残量センサ 1 8に対して燃料タンク 13のアルコール燃料の残量を問い合わせる。そして、制御回路 35は、燃料タンク 13のアルコール燃料の残量が所定量以下である場合に、刃先洗 浄装置 3のシエーバ用ポンプ 31を駆動させる。その結果、シエーバ用ポンプ 31によ つて、洗浄液タンク 27に貯蔵されたアルコール洗浄液 20が、管路 45及び髭屑除去 用のフィルタ 46を介して吸い上げられ、シエーバ 2の燃料タンク 13にアルコーノレ燃料 として供給される。  In the shearer system 1, the shearer 2 is mounted at a predetermined mounting position of the blade edge cleaning device 3, and a cleaning instruction signal is transmitted from a predetermined operation switch (not shown) provided in the blade edge cleaning device 3. Is input to the control circuit 35, the control circuit 35 inquires of the remaining amount sensor 18 of the sieve 2 about the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the fuel tank 13. The control circuit 35 drives the sieve pump 31 of the blade edge cleaning device 3 when the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the fuel tank 13 is equal to or less than a predetermined amount. As a result, the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 stored in the cleaning liquid tank 27 is sucked up by the siever pump 31 through the pipe 45 and the filter 46 for removing swarf, and is supplied to the fuel tank 13 of the sieve 2 as alcoholic fuel. Supplied.
[0024] 上記のように、本実施形態に係るシヱーバシステム 1では、シヱーバ 2が刃先洗浄 装置 3に装着されると、刃先洗浄装置 3自身によってシエーバ 2に対するアルコール 燃料の補給の必要性が判断され、補給が必要な場合には自動的にアルコール燃料 がシエーバ 2の燃料タンク 13に補給される。そのため、ユーザは、シエーバ 2の第 1燃 料電池 8のアルコール燃料の残量にあまり注意を払わなくてもすみ、いつでもシエー ノ を使用すること力できる。また、ユーザはシエーバ 2にアルコール燃料を補給する 手間から開放される。さらに、洗浄液タンク 27に貯蔵されたアルコール洗浄液 20の 量力、燃料タンク 13に補給されるアルコール燃料の量及び刃先洗浄装置 3の第 2燃 料電池 36で消費されるアルコール燃料の量に比べて圧倒的に多いので、これら第 1 燃料電池 8及び第 2燃料電池 36による消費量は事実上無視することができる。その 結果、ユーザはアルコール洗浄液 20の汚れ具合を見て、洗浄液タンク 27に貯蔵さ れたアルコール洗浄液 20の交換を行えばよい。さらに、最終的に廃棄処分されるァ ルコール洗浄液の一部をアルコール燃料として使用することができるので、燃料費の 軽減及び廃棄物の量の低減が可能になる。 [0024] As described above, in the seeker system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the seeker 2 is attached to the blade edge cleaning device 3, the blade edge cleaning device 3 itself determines the necessity of replenishing alcohol fuel to the sieve 2; Alcohol fuel is automatically supplied to the fuel tank 13 of the sieve 2 when replenishment is required. Therefore, the user need not pay much attention to the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the first fuel cell 8 of the shiver 2 and can use the shieno at any time. In addition, the user is freed from the trouble of supplying alcohol fuel to the sieve 2. Further, the amount of alcohol cleaning liquid 20 stored in the cleaning liquid tank 27, the amount of alcohol fuel supplied to the fuel tank 13, and the second fuel of the blade edge cleaning device 3 Since the amount of alcohol fuel consumed in the fuel cell 36 is overwhelmingly large, the consumption by the first fuel cell 8 and the second fuel cell 36 can be virtually ignored. As a result, the user only needs to replace the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 stored in the cleaning liquid tank 27 by checking the degree of contamination of the alcohol cleaning liquid 20. In addition, since a part of the alcohol cleaning liquid that is finally disposed of can be used as alcohol fuel, the fuel cost can be reduced and the amount of waste can be reduced.
[0025] 次に、本実施形態に係る刃先洗浄装置 3の変形例の構成を図 3に示す。図 1に示 す刃先洗浄装置 3では、シエーバ用ポンプ 31と電池用ポンプ 32とがそれぞれ別個 独立に設置されたが、図 3に示す変形例では、単一のポンプ 55が、シエーバ用ボン プ 31及び電池用ポンプ 32として機能するように構成されている。ポンプ 55からアル コール洗浄液 20を送る管路として、二股に枝分かれした管路 56を用い、枝分かれし た一方をシエーバ 2の燃料タンク 13に、他方を刃先洗浄装置 3の第 2燃料電池 36に 、それぞれ接続されている。燃料タンク 13にアルコール燃料力 Sフルに充填されると、 それ以上供給できなくなるので、このような構成を採用しても、特に問題は生じない。  Next, FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a modified example of the blade edge cleaning device 3 according to the present embodiment. In the blade edge cleaning device 3 shown in Fig. 1, the sieve pump 31 and the battery pump 32 are installed separately and independently. However, in the modification shown in Fig. 3, a single pump 55 is used as the sieve pump. 31 and the battery pump 32 are configured to function. A bifurcated pipe 56 is used as a pipe for sending the alcohol cleaning liquid 20 from the pump 55. One of the branched pipes is used for the fuel tank 13 of the sieve 2 and the other is used for the second fuel cell 36 of the blade cleaning apparatus 3. Each is connected. If the fuel tank 13 is fully filled with the alcohol fuel power S, it cannot be supplied any more, so even if such a configuration is adopted, there is no particular problem.
[0026] なお、本発明は上記実施形態の構成に限定されるものではなぐ本発明に係るシェ ーバシステムは、シエーバと刃先洗浄装置を備え、シエーバは、アルコール燃料をェ ネルギ一源とする燃料電池を電源とし、刃先洗浄装置は、アルコールを洗浄液として 使用すると共に、シエーバの刃先洗浄中に、アルコールを燃料としてシエーバに供給 するように構成されて!/、ればよ!/、。  [0026] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. A shaver system according to the present invention includes a sieve and a blade cleaning device, and the sieve is a fuel cell that uses alcohol fuel as an energy source. The blade tip cleaning device is configured to use alcohol as a cleaning liquid and supply alcohol to the sieve as fuel during cleaning of the blade.
[0027] そして、本発明に係るシエーバは、少なくとも、内刃及び外刃で構成された刃先部と 、外刃に対して内刃を直線往復運動させるモータと、アルコール燃料をエネルギー 源とし、モータに電力を供給する燃料電池と、アルコール燃料が貯蔵される燃料タン クと、燃料タンクのアルコール燃料の残量を測定する残量センサと、燃料タンクに設 けられ、シエーバが刃先洗浄装置の所定の装着位置に装着されると刃先洗浄装置 の管路に接続されて開き、シエーバが刃先洗浄装置から取り外されると閉じ、刃先洗 浄装置から燃料タンクへのアルコール燃料の自動補給を可能とする弁体を備えてレ、 れば'よい。  [0027] The shearer according to the present invention includes at least a cutting edge portion constituted by an inner blade and an outer blade, a motor that linearly reciprocates the inner blade with respect to the outer blade, and alcohol fuel as an energy source. A fuel cell that supplies power to the fuel tank, a fuel tank that stores alcohol fuel, a remaining amount sensor that measures the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the fuel tank, and a fuel tank that has a sieve that is a predetermined A valve that opens when connected to the pipe line of the blade edge cleaning device and closes when the sieve is removed from the blade edge cleaning device, and allows automatic supply of alcohol fuel from the blade edge cleaning device to the fuel tank. It ’s good if you have a body.
[0028] また、本発明に係る刃先洗浄装置は、少なくとも、アルコールが貯蔵されたタンクと 、シエーバが所定の装着位置に装着されたときに、シエーバの刃先部が装填される 洗浄皿と、洗浄皿にタンクからアルコールを洗浄液として供給する洗浄用ポンプと、 シエーバが所定の装着位置に装着されたときに、シエーバの燃料電池の燃料タンク に接続され、タンクからアルコールを燃料として燃料タンクに供給するシエーバ用燃 料供給機構と、所定の装着位置に装着されたシエーバから提供される燃料タンクの 燃料の残量情報に応じて、シエーバ用燃料供給機構を駆動制御する制御部を備え ていればよい。 [0028] Further, the blade edge cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes at least a tank storing alcohol. , When the shearer is mounted at the predetermined mounting position, the blade of the shearer is loaded, the cleaning pump for supplying alcohol from the tank to the cleaning dish as the cleaning liquid, and the shearer is mounted at the predetermined mounting position The fuel tank is connected to the fuel tank of the fuel cell of the sieve, and the fuel supply mechanism for the sieve that supplies alcohol from the tank to the fuel tank as fuel, and the fuel tank provided from the sieve installed at a predetermined mounting position A control unit that drives and controls the fuel supply mechanism for the sieve according to the remaining fuel amount information may be provided.
[0029] タンクは、上記洗浄液タンクに限定されず、未使用のアルコールが貯蔵されたタン クであってもよい。そして、このタンクから、未使用のアルコールをシエーバの燃料タン クへ燃料として供給すると共に、洗浄皿へ洗浄液として供給するように構成してもよい 。あるいは、上記実施形態のように、使用中のアルコール洗浄液をアルコール燃料と してシエーバの燃料タンクへ燃料として供給するように構成してもよい。  [0029] The tank is not limited to the cleaning liquid tank, but may be a tank in which unused alcohol is stored. Then, from this tank, unused alcohol may be supplied as fuel to the fuel tank of the sieve and supplied to the cleaning dish as cleaning liquid. Or you may comprise so that the alcohol washing | cleaning liquid in use may be supplied as a fuel to a fuel tank of a sieve as an alcohol fuel like the said embodiment.
[0030] このような構成によれば、シエーバを刃先洗浄装置に装着し。刃先を洗浄している 間に、燃料タンクにアルコール燃料が自動的に供給 (補給)されるので、ユーザは、 シエーバの燃料電池のアルコール燃料の残量にあまりあるいは全く注意を払うことな く、いつでもシエーバを使用することができる。また、ユーザは自分自身でシエーバに アルコール燃料を補給する手間から開放される。なお、刃先洗浄装置で使用する電 力は、必ずしも燃料電池から供給する必要はなぐ商用電力から ACアダプタを介し て供給してもよい。その場合、従来例と同様に、刃先洗浄装置の使用可能範囲が限 定されるが、アルコールの消耗を低減させることができる。  [0030] According to such a configuration, the sieve is mounted on the blade edge cleaning device. Alcohol fuel is automatically supplied (supplemented) to the fuel tank while the cutting edge is being cleaned, so the user can pay little or no attention to the remaining amount of alcohol fuel in the Sieva fuel cell. You can use the Siever at any time. In addition, the user is freed from the trouble of supplying alcohol fuel to Sieba himself. The power used in the blade cleaning device may be supplied from commercial power via an AC adapter, which is not necessarily supplied from the fuel cell. In this case, as in the conventional example, the usable range of the blade cleaning device is limited, but alcohol consumption can be reduced.
[0031] さらに、本発明に係る刃先洗浄装置は、アルコール燃料をエネルギー源とし、電力 を供給する燃料電池と、タンク力 燃料電池にアルコールを燃料として供給する刃先 洗浄装置用燃料供給機構を備えていてもよい。それにより、刃先洗浄装置をいわゆ るコードレスにすることができ、刃先洗浄装置の使用可能場所がコンセントの近くに 限定されず、または延長ケーブルを使用する必要もなくなり、完全に自由になる。 Furthermore, the blade edge cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes a fuel cell that uses alcohol fuel as an energy source and supplies power, and a fuel supply mechanism for the blade edge cleaning apparatus that supplies alcohol to the tank power fuel cell. May be. As a result, the blade cleaning device can be made cordless, and the place where the blade cleaning device can be used is not limited to the vicinity of the outlet, or there is no need to use an extension cable, and it is completely free.
[0032] さらに、刃先洗浄装置のシエーバ用燃料供給機構と刃先洗浄装置用燃料供給機 構力 少なくとも同一のポンプにより駆動されるように構成してもよい。それにより、刃 先洗浄装置の部品点数の低減及びコストダウンを図ることができる。 [0033] さらに、刃先洗浄装置において、タンクは洗浄液タンクを兼ね、洗浄液として使用さ れたアルコールが前記タンクに循環され、洗浄液と同じアルコールをシエーバに供給 するように構成してもよい。洗浄液として使用されるアルコールの量の方が、燃料電 池で消費されるアルコール燃料の量に比べて圧倒的に多いので、このような構成に より、燃料電池による消費量は事実上無視することができる。その結果、ユーザはァ ルコール洗浄液の汚れ具合を見て、洗浄液タンクに貯蔵されたアルコール洗浄液の 交換を行えばよぐさらに、最終的に廃棄処分されるアルコール洗浄液の一部をアル コール燃料として使用することができるので、燃料費の軽減及び廃棄物の量の低減 が可能になる。 [0032] Further, the fuel supply mechanism for the blade of the blade cleaning device and the fuel supply device for the blade cleaning device may be configured to be driven by at least the same pump. Thereby, the number of parts of the blade edge cleaning device can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. [0033] Further, in the blade edge cleaning apparatus, the tank may also serve as a cleaning liquid tank, and the alcohol used as the cleaning liquid may be circulated to the tank, and the same alcohol as the cleaning liquid may be supplied to the sieve. Since the amount of alcohol used as a cleaning liquid is overwhelmingly higher than the amount of alcohol fuel consumed in the fuel cell, the consumption by the fuel cell should be virtually ignored by this configuration. Can do.
