 従来の電気掃除機用吸込具は、電気掃除機用吸込具内に帯電順位の異なる複数のブラシ群を設け、それぞれのブラシ群を互いに摩擦させながら回転させることによりマイナスイオンを発生させている。そして、発生したマイナスイオンを、例えば床などの被清掃面の塵埃に吸着させて、電気掃除機用吸込具から吸引して集塵する構成の電気掃除機が、例えば特許文献1に提案されている。 In a conventional vacuum cleaner suction tool, a plurality of brush groups having different charging orders are provided in the vacuum cleaner suction tool, and negative ions are generated by rotating the brush groups while frictioning each other. And the vacuum cleaner of the structure which adsorb | sucks the produced | generated negative ion to the dust of the to-be-cleaned surface, such as a floor, for example, is attracted | sucked from the suction tool for vacuum cleaners, and is proposed by patent document 1, for example. Yes.
 以下に、特許文献1に示されている従来の電気掃除機用吸込具について、図9を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, a conventional vacuum cleaner suction tool disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
 図9は、従来の電気掃除機用吸込具の側部断面図である。図9に示すように、電気掃除機用吸込具(以下、「吸込具」と略記する)40の下面に設けられた開口部41内には、帯電順位がマイナス側のブラシ42を有するブラシ群43と帯電順位がプラス側のブラシ44を有するブラシ群45とが、それぞれ回転自在に設けられている。ブラシ群43とブラシ群45は、被清掃面上を吸込具40が動く際に生じるブラシ群43とブラシ群45と、被清掃面との抵抗力(摩擦力)により回転する。このとき、ブラシ群43が有するブラシ42とブラシ群45が有するブラシ44とが、互いに接触しながら回転する。そして、ブラシ群43のブラシ42とブラシ群45のブラシ44の接触時の摩擦により、マイナスイオンを発生させている。これにより、発生したマイナスイオンを、例えば床などの被清掃面の塵埃などに吸着させて集塵している。 FIG. 9 is a side sectional view of a conventional vacuum cleaner suction tool. As shown in FIG. 9, a brush group having a brush 42 with a negative charging order in an opening 41 provided on the lower surface of a vacuum cleaner suction tool (hereinafter abbreviated as “suction tool”) 40. 43 and a brush group 45 having brushes 44 having a positive charging order are provided rotatably. The brush group 43 and the brush group 45 are rotated by a resistance force (friction force) between the brush group 43 and the brush group 45 generated when the suction tool 40 moves on the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned. At this time, the brush 42 included in the brush group 43 and the brush 44 included in the brush group 45 rotate while being in contact with each other. Then, negative ions are generated by friction at the time of contact between the brush 42 of the brush group 43 and the brush 44 of the brush group 45. As a result, the generated negative ions are collected by being adsorbed to dust on the surface to be cleaned such as a floor.
 しかしながら、従来の電気掃除機用吸込具40は、ブラシ群43、45のブラシ42、44の耐久性の観点から、改善の余地がある。そして、ブラシ群43、45のブラシ42、44の耐久性に関する課題は、以下に示す原因に起因することを本発明者等は見いだした。 However, the conventional vacuum cleaner suction tool 40 has room for improvement from the viewpoint of durability of the brushes 42 and 44 of the brush groups 43 and 45. The inventors have found that the problems regarding the durability of the brushes 42 and 44 of the brush groups 43 and 45 are caused by the following causes.
 すなわち、従来の電気掃除機用吸込具40は、ブラシ群45のブラシ44と、ブラシ群43のブラシ42とを互いに接触させてマイナスイオンを発生させるため、ブラシ42とブラシ44との接触面積が大きかった。そのため、ブラシ42とブラシ44とが互いに磨耗して摩滅する、絡まって引きちぎれるなどにより、ブラシ42、44の耐久性が低くなっていた。 That is, in the conventional vacuum cleaner suction tool 40, the brush 44 of the brush group 45 and the brush 42 of the brush group 43 are brought into contact with each other to generate negative ions, so that the contact area between the brush 42 and the brush 44 is large. It was big. For this reason, the durability of the brushes 42 and 44 has been lowered due to the wear and abrasion of the brushes 42 and 44, tangling and tearing, and the like.

In addition, in the following, the arrow C side in FIG. 1 is the left side of the suction tool 1, and the arrow A side in FIG. 1 is the front or front of the suction tool 1 (in the direction in which the user operates the suction tool 1 forward). 1), the arrow B side in FIG. 1 is the rear or rear part of the suction tool 1 (corresponding to the direction in which the user reversely operates the suction tool 1), and the arrow D side in FIG. Will be described.
 図1に示すように、電気掃除機100は、主として、例えば床などの被清掃面の塵埃を捕集する吸込具1と、電動送風機33を内蔵する掃除機本体32と、掃除機本体32に着脱自在に接続されるホース31と、ホース31に着脱自在に接続される延長管30とから構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the vacuum cleaner 100 mainly includes, for example, a suction tool 1 that collects dust on a surface to be cleaned such as a floor, a vacuum cleaner body 32 that includes an electric blower 33, and a vacuum cleaner body 32. The hose 31 is detachably connected and the extension pipe 30 is detachably connected to the hose 31.
 そして、延長管30の一端はホース31と接続され、延長管30の他端は、例えば可動自在に設けられたパイプ6を介して吸込具1と接続されている。延長管30の一端側のホース31の端部には、使用者が電動送風機33を動作させる運転モード(例えば、強、中、弱、切などの吸込み力)を選択する手元操作部34が設けられている。手元操作部34には、使用者により選択された運転モードに基づき、電動送風機33を制御する制御回路(図示せず)が設けられている。 And, one end of the extension pipe 30 is connected to the hose 31, and the other end of the extension pipe 30 is connected to the suction tool 1 via, for example, a pipe 6 that is movably provided. At the end of the hose 31 on one end side of the extension pipe 30, a hand operation unit 34 for selecting an operation mode in which the user operates the electric blower 33 (for example, suction force such as strong, medium, weak, and off) is provided. It has been. The hand operation unit 34 is provided with a control circuit (not shown) for controlling the electric blower 33 based on the operation mode selected by the user.
 図2から図4に示すように、吸込具本体1aは、吸込具本体1aの下面を構成する吸込口15を有する下部材5と、下部材5の上部を覆うように設けられた前方に窓状の穴4aを有する中部材4と、吸込具本体1aの上面を構成する窓部3が形成された上部材2とから構成されている。吸込具本体1aの後方の中央部にはパイプ6が配置されている。そして、パイプ6は、吸込具本体1aの下部材5と上部材2とにより挟持されている。このとき、中部材4の穴4aを介して、上部材2の窓部3により、磨耗体10に絡みついた塵埃などの状態を、例えば目視により確認することができる。これにより、ユーザは、磨耗体10の清掃時期を容易に認識できる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the suction tool main body 1 a includes a lower member 5 having a suction port 15 that constitutes a lower surface of the suction tool main body 1 a, and a front window provided so as to cover the upper portion of the lower member 5. It is comprised from the middle member 4 which has the shape-shaped hole 4a, and the upper member 2 in which the window part 3 which comprises the upper surface of the suction tool main body 1a was formed. A pipe 6 is disposed in the central part at the rear of the suction tool main body 1a. The pipe 6 is sandwiched between the lower member 5 and the upper member 2 of the suction tool main body 1a. At this time, the state of dust or the like entangled with the wearable body 10 can be visually confirmed, for example, by the window 3 of the upper member 2 through the hole 4a of the middle member 4. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the cleaning time of the wear body 10.
 また、吸込具本体1aの吸込口15内には、吸込具本体1aに回転自在に軸支された回転ブラシ7が設けられている。回転ブラシ7の外周面には、帯電順位がプラス側にある素材(例えばナイロン)から構成されているブラシ体8が、らせん状に複数配置されている。吸込具本体1aの下部材5の前方の内壁には、帯電順位がマイナス側の素材(例えばフッ化樹脂)からなる板部材9が設けられている。そして、回転ブラシ7が回転したときに、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と板部材9とが互いに接触するように配置されている。 In the suction port 15 of the suction tool main body 1a, there is provided a rotating brush 7 that is rotatably supported by the suction tool main body 1a. On the outer peripheral surface of the rotating brush 7, a plurality of brush bodies 8 made of a material (for example, nylon) having a positive charging order are arranged in a spiral shape. On the inner wall in front of the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a, a plate member 9 made of a material having a negative charging order (for example, fluororesin) is provided. And when the rotating brush 7 rotates, the brush body 8 and the plate member 9 of the rotating brush 7 are arrange | positioned so that it may mutually contact.
 また、図2に示すように、回転ブラシ7の回転中心軸よりも前方の上部には、回転ブラシ7の回転時に、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と接触して回転する磨耗体10が設けられている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a wear body 10 that rotates in contact with the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 when the rotating brush 7 rotates is provided at an upper portion in front of the rotation center axis of the rotating brush 7. ing.
 そして、図4に示すように、磨耗体10は、吸込具本体1aの下部材5の吸込口15に臨むように設置され、吸込具本体1aに軸12を介して回転自在に軸支されている。このとき、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とが接触する量(長さ)は、回転ブラシ7の回転を阻害しなければ特に限定されない。しかし、塵埃の吸い込み量やマイナスイオンの発生量の増大、吸込具1の操作の容易性などを考慮すると、特に1~2mmが最適である。 As shown in FIG. 4, the wear body 10 is installed so as to face the suction port 15 of the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1 a, and is rotatably supported by the suction tool main body 1 a via the shaft 12. Yes. At this time, the amount (length) of contact between the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 is not particularly limited as long as the rotation of the rotating brush 7 is not inhibited. However, considering the increase in the amount of dust sucked in, the amount of negative ions generated, the ease of operation of the suction tool 1, etc., 1 to 2 mm is particularly optimal.
 また、図4に示すように、吸込具本体1aの後方の左右どちらか一方には、例えば電動機やタービンなどの駆動部13が設けられている。駆動部13の出力は、回転ブラシ7の一端に設けたギア(図示せず)にベルト14を介して伝達され、回転ブラシ7は一定方向に回転する。これにより、後述するように、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の回転方向を一定にできるので、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10や板部材9との接触で発生するマイナスイオンを一定方向(吸込具本体1aの前方)に安定して放出できる。すなわち、図9に示す従来の吸込具40の後進操作時におけるブラシ群の回転方向の反転(時計回り)による、マイナスイオンの吸込具40への吸い込みを防止して、確実にマイナスイオンを被清掃面に供給できる。このとき、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とが互いに回転する。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10との接触位置が変化し、同じ位置での接触を避けることができるため、磨耗体10の耐久性が向上する。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the drive parts 13, such as an electric motor and a turbine, are provided in either one of the right and left of the back of the suction tool main body 1a. The output of the drive unit 13 is transmitted to a gear (not shown) provided at one end of the rotating brush 7 via the belt 14, and the rotating brush 7 rotates in a certain direction. Thereby, as will be described later, the rotation direction of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 can be made constant, so that negative ions generated by contact between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate member 9 are kept constant. It can discharge stably in the direction (front of the suction tool main body 1a). That is, the negative ions are prevented from being sucked into the suction tool 40 by reversing the rotation direction (clockwise) of the brush group during the backward operation of the conventional suction tool 40 shown in FIG. Can be supplied to the surface. At this time, the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 rotate with each other. Thereby, since the contact position of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 is changed and contact at the same position can be avoided, the durability of the wear body 10 is improved.
 また、磨耗体10の長手方向の長さは、回転ブラシ7の長手方向の全長に対して短く設定される。なお、回転ブラシ7の長手方向に対して、磨耗体10を複数個(例えば2~3個)に分割して設置してもよい。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10との接触する面積(長手方向の長さ)を短くして、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8に加わる負荷を低減して、吸込具1の操作性を向上できる。 Further, the length of the wear body 10 in the longitudinal direction is set shorter than the entire length of the rotating brush 7 in the longitudinal direction. The wear body 10 may be divided into a plurality of pieces (for example, 2 to 3 pieces) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotating brush 7. Thereby, the contact area (length in the longitudinal direction) between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 is shortened, and the load applied to the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 is reduced. Operability can be improved.
 なお、磨耗体10の長手方向に沿って、磨耗体10の表面から突出する、帯電順位がマイナス側にある素材(例えばフッ化樹脂)からなる、例えば短冊状のプレート11を設けてもよい。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とが、常に接触しないので、磨耗体10の耐久性を向上できる。また、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の回転力を、磨耗体10から突出したプレート11を介して確実に磨耗体10に伝達できるので、磨耗体10の回転数の増加とマイナスイオンの発生量を増加できる。 Note that, for example, a strip-shaped plate 11 made of a material (for example, a fluororesin) having a negative charging order protruding from the surface of the wear body 10 along the longitudinal direction of the wear body 10 may be provided. Thereby, since the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 do not always contact, durability of the wear body 10 can be improved. Further, since the rotational force of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 can be reliably transmitted to the wear body 10 via the plate 11 protruding from the wear body 10, the increase in the number of rotations of the wear body 10 and the amount of negative ions generated can be reduced. Can be increased.
 なお、本実施の形態では、帯電順位がプラス側にある素材として、ナイロン以外に、例えば羊毛やテフロン(登録商標)などのプラス側に帯電しやすい材料を用いることができる。また、帯電順位がマイナス側にある素材として、フッ化樹脂以外に、例えば塩化ビニルなどのマイナス側に帯電しやすい材料を用いることができる。 In this embodiment, as a material having a positive charging order, a material that is easily charged on the positive side, such as wool or Teflon (registered trademark), can be used in addition to nylon. In addition to the fluororesin, a material that is easily charged on the minus side, such as vinyl chloride, can be used as the material having the minus charging order.
 以上のように構成された電気掃除機用吸込具の動作および作用について、以下に説明する。 The operation and action of the vacuum cleaner suction tool configured as described above will be described below.
 まず、図1に示すように、ホース31に設けられた回路上のスイッチで電動送風機33を起動する。このとき、電動送風機33により発生した負圧により、ホース31と延長管30の内部に掃除機本体32に流れ込む吸引風が生じる。吸込具本体1aの吸込口15には、延長管30に接続されたパイプ6を介して、吸引風が発生する。その結果、床面などの被清掃面に存在する塵埃が、吸引風により、掃除機本体32の内部に送り込まれる。 First, as shown in FIG. 1, the electric blower 33 is activated by a switch on a circuit provided in the hose 31. At this time, due to the negative pressure generated by the electric blower 33, suction air flowing into the cleaner body 32 is generated inside the hose 31 and the extension pipe 30. Suction air is generated in the suction port 15 of the suction tool main body 1 a through the pipe 6 connected to the extension pipe 30. As a result, dust present on the surface to be cleaned such as the floor surface is sent into the cleaner body 32 by suction air.
 このとき、回転ブラシ7を回転させる駆動部13が電動機の場合、電動送風機33の起動により駆動部13も起動される。そして、駆動部13の動力は、ベルト14を介して回転ブラシ7に伝達され、回転ブラシ7が回転する。このとき、図1中の矢印Cで示す吸込具1の左側面から吸込具1を見たとき、回転ブラシ7の回転方向は反時計方向となる。 At this time, when the drive unit 13 that rotates the rotating brush 7 is an electric motor, the drive unit 13 is also activated by the activation of the electric blower 33. And the motive power of the drive part 13 is transmitted to the rotating brush 7 via the belt 14, and the rotating brush 7 rotates. At this time, when the suction tool 1 is viewed from the left side surface of the suction tool 1 indicated by an arrow C in FIG. 1, the rotation direction of the rotary brush 7 is counterclockwise.
 そして、回転ブラシ7の回転により、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8が磨耗体10と接触し、磨耗体10は回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の駆動力により回転駆動される。このとき、上述したように、回転ブラシ7が反時計方向に回転するため、磨耗体10は時計方向に回転することになる。そして、吸込具本体1aの上部材2に設けた窓部3により、磨耗体10の回転駆動を確認できる。 The brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 comes into contact with the wear body 10 by the rotation of the rotating brush 7, and the wear body 10 is rotationally driven by the driving force of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7. At this time, as described above, since the rotating brush 7 rotates counterclockwise, the wear body 10 rotates clockwise. And the rotational drive of the abrasion body 10 can be confirmed by the window part 3 provided in the upper member 2 of the suction tool main body 1a.
 また、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8は、回転により、磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けた短冊状のプレート11および板部材9と接触する。そして、プラス側の帯電順位を有する回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、マイナス側の帯電順位を有する磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けたプレート11および板部材9と接触して擦り合う。その結果、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けたプレート11および板部材9との間の摩擦により、マイナスイオンが発生する。 Also, the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 comes into contact with the wear body 10 or the strip-shaped plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10 by rotation. Then, the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 having the positive charging order and the wear body 10 having the negative charging order or the plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10 are brought into contact and rubbed. As a result, negative ions are generated due to friction between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10.
 発生したマイナスイオンは、駆動部13を介して反時計回りで回転する回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8により、吸込具本体1aの前方に向かって弾き出されて、床などの被清掃面に散布される。このとき、磨耗体10のプレート11および板部材9は、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の長手方向に対向して設けられているため、マイナスイオンは回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の長手方向の広い領域にわたって、吸込具本体1aの前方に散布される。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10や板部材9との接触で発生するマイナスイオンを一定方向(吸込具本体1aの前方)に安定して被清掃面に放出することができる。 The generated negative ions are ejected toward the front of the suction tool main body 1a by the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 that rotates counterclockwise via the drive unit 13, and are scattered on the surface to be cleaned such as the floor. . At this time, since the plate 11 and the plate member 9 of the wear body 10 are provided facing the longitudinal direction of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7, negative ions are wide in the longitudinal direction of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7. It spreads in front of the suction tool main body 1a over the region. Thereby, negative ions generated by the contact between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate member 9 can be stably released to the surface to be cleaned in a certain direction (in front of the suction tool body 1a). it can.
 本実施の形態によれば、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10の耐久性を向上させるとともに、マイナスイオンを安定して被清掃面に供給できる電気掃除機用吸込具1およびそれを用いた電気掃除機100を実現できる。 According to the present embodiment, the vacuum cleaner suction tool 1 that can improve the durability of the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 and can stably supply negative ions to the surface to be cleaned, and the same are used. The vacuum cleaner 100 that has been used can be realized.
 なお、本実施の形態では、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けたプレート11および板部材9と接触させてマイナスイオンを発生させる例で説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、磨耗体10または板部材9のいずれかを設けない構成としてもよい。これにより、吸込具1の構成を簡略化して低コスト化が図れるとともに、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8に加わる負荷を低減して、吸込具1の操作性を向上できる。 In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which negative ions are generated by contacting the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 with the wear body 10 or the plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10. Not limited. For example, it is good also as a structure which does not provide either the wear body 10 or the plate member 9. FIG. Thereby, while simplifying the structure of the suction tool 1 and achieving cost reduction, the load added to the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 can be reduced, and the operativity of the suction tool 1 can be improved.
 また、本実施の形態では、磨耗体10にプレート11を設けた例で説明したが、磨耗体10だけで構成してもよい。これにより、磨耗体10の構成を簡略化して低コストが図れる。このとき、磨耗体10を円筒形ではなく、楕円体や、例えばギア形状のような磨耗体10の周囲に複数の凹部を設けた構成としてもよい。これにより、回転ブラシ7の回転を確実に、磨耗体10に伝達できる。 In the present embodiment, the example in which the plate 11 is provided on the wear body 10 has been described. However, the wear body 10 alone may be used. Thereby, the structure of the wear body 10 can be simplified and low cost can be achieved. At this time, the wear body 10 may have a configuration in which a plurality of concave portions are provided around the wear body 10 instead of a cylindrical shape, such as an ellipsoid or a gear shape. Thereby, rotation of the rotating brush 7 can be reliably transmitted to the wear body 10.
 また、本実施の形態では、板部材9を平板のように図示した例で説明したが、例えば、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と接する面を凹凸形状としてもよく。また、凹凸面を回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の回転面に沿うように設けた形状としてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the plate member 9 is illustrated as an example of a flat plate. However, for example, the surface of the rotating brush 7 that contacts the brush body 8 may have an uneven shape. Moreover, it is good also as a shape which provided the uneven surface so that the rotation surface of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 might be followed.

 本発明の実施の形態2の電気掃除機用吸込具は、保持体を介して磨耗体を吸込具本体に着脱自在に保持する点で、実施の形態1の電気掃除機用吸込具と異なっている。他の構成は、基本的には実施の形態1と同様である。 The vacuum cleaner suction tool according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different from the vacuum cleaner suction tool according to the first embodiment in that the wearer is detachably held on the suction tool body through the holding body. Yes. Other configurations are basically the same as those in the first embodiment.
 そこで、以下では、電気掃除機用吸込具の保持体を主に図面を用いて、実施の形態1および図1を参照しながら説明する。 Therefore, in the following, the holder for the vacuum cleaner suction tool will be described with reference to Embodiment 1 and FIG. 1 mainly using the drawings.
 本発明の実施の形態2の電気掃除機100は、実施の形態1と同様に、図1に示すように、電気掃除機用吸込具(以下、「吸込具」と記す)1と、電動送風機33を内蔵する掃除機本体32と、ホース31と、延長管30とから構成されている。延長管30の一端はホース31と接続され、延長管30の他端はパイプ6を介して吸込具1と接続されている。延長管30の一端側のホース31の端部には、運転モードを選択する手元操作部34が設けられている。手元操作部34は、運転モードに基づいて電動送風機33を制御する制御回路(図示せず)が設けられている。 As in the first embodiment, a vacuum cleaner 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a vacuum cleaner suction tool (hereinafter referred to as “suction tool”) 1 and an electric blower as shown in FIG. The vacuum cleaner main body 32 having a built-in 33, a hose 31, and an extension pipe 30 are included. One end of the extension pipe 30 is connected to the hose 31, and the other end of the extension pipe 30 is connected to the suction tool 1 through the pipe 6. At the end of the hose 31 on one end side of the extension pipe 30, a hand operation unit 34 for selecting an operation mode is provided. The hand operating section 34 is provided with a control circuit (not shown) that controls the electric blower 33 based on the operation mode.
 図5から図8に示すように、吸込具本体1aは、外観を構成し窓部3を有する上部材2と、吸込口15を有する下部材5と、上部材2と下部材5との間に配置される、後述する磨耗体10が配置される穴(図示せず)を有する中部材4とから構成されている。吸込具本体1aの後方の中央部には、図1に示すように、パイプ6が配置されている。そして、パイプ6は、吸込具本体1aの下部材5と上部材2とにより挟持されている。このとき、中部材4の穴を介して、上部材2の窓部3により、磨耗体10に絡みついた塵埃などの状態を、例えば目視により確認することができる。これにより、ユーザは、磨耗体10の清掃時期を容易に認識できる。 As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the suction tool main body 1 a includes an upper member 2 having an appearance and having a window portion 3, a lower member 5 having a suction port 15, and between the upper member 2 and the lower member 5. It is comprised from the middle member 4 which has the hole (not shown) by which the wear body 10 mentioned later is arrange | positioned. As shown in FIG. 1, a pipe 6 is disposed in the central part at the rear of the suction tool main body 1 a. The pipe 6 is sandwiched between the lower member 5 and the upper member 2 of the suction tool main body 1a. At this time, the state of dust and the like entangled with the wearable body 10 can be visually confirmed, for example, by the window 3 of the upper member 2 through the hole of the middle member 4. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the cleaning time of the wear body 10.
 また、吸込具本体1aの吸込口15内には、図5に示すように、例えば床面などの被清掃面の塵埃を掻き上げる、例えば2つの回転ブラシ7が、吸込具本体1aの下部材5に、例えば着脱自在で、また回転自在に取付けられている。回転ブラシ7の外周面には、帯電順位がプラス側にある素材(例えばナイロン)から構成されているブラシ体8がらせん状に複数配置されている。吸込具本体1aの下部材5の前方内壁には、帯電順位がマイナス側の素材(例えばテフロン(登録商標))からなる板部材9が設けられている。そして、回転ブラシ7が回転したときに、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と板部材9とが互いに接触するように配置されている。 Further, in the suction port 15 of the suction tool main body 1a, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, two rotary brushes 7 that scrape dust on the surface to be cleaned such as a floor surface are lower members of the suction tool main body 1a. 5, for example, is detachably attached and rotatable. On the outer peripheral surface of the rotating brush 7, a plurality of brush bodies 8 made of a material having a positive charging order (for example, nylon) are spirally arranged. A plate member 9 made of a material having a negative charging order (for example, Teflon (registered trademark)) is provided on the front inner wall of the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a. And when the rotating brush 7 rotates, the brush body 8 and the plate member 9 of the rotating brush 7 are arrange | positioned so that it may mutually contact.
 また、図5に示すように、回転ブラシ7の回転中心軸よりも前方の上部には、回転ブラシ7の回転時に、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と接触して回転する磨耗体本体10aと軸12からなる磨耗体10が設けられている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper part of the rotating brush 7 in front of the rotation center axis is in contact with the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and rotates when the rotating brush 7 rotates. A wear body 10 comprising 12 is provided.
 そして、磨耗体10は、吸込具本体1aの下部材5の上部を覆うように設けられた、前方に窓状の穴(図示せず)を有する中部材4上に、吸込口15に臨むように設置されている。図8に示すように、磨耗体10は、磨耗体本体10aの軸心を貫通して設けられた軸12により、回転自在に軸支されている。 And the abrasion body 10 faces the suction inlet 15 on the middle member 4 provided so that the upper part of the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a may be covered and which has a window-like hole (not shown) ahead. Is installed. As shown in FIG. 8, the wear body 10 is rotatably supported by a shaft 12 provided so as to penetrate the shaft center of the wear body main body 10a.
 また、軸12の一端は挿入部20を有し、軸12の他端は挿入部20の長さよりも長い保持部21を有している。軸12の挿入部20は、吸込具本体1aを構成する下部材5と上部材2で形成された保持穴(図示せず)に挿入され保持される。一方、軸12の保持部21には、保持部21の一部に回転止め部16が設けられている。そして、保持部21の回転止め部16は、吸込具本体1aの下部材5に設けられた受け部17に嵌め込まれ、保持体18(図7)で挟持して着脱自在に保持するとともに回動自在に固定する。すなわち、磨耗体10の軸12の挿入部20は保持穴で、軸12の保持部21は、保持体18により着脱自在に吸込具本体1aに保持されている。これにより、磨耗体10が回転するとき、軸12を回動自在に固定することで、軸12の磨耗、ガタツキや振動を防止して、耐久性を向上できる。また、軸12の挿入部20より保持部21の長さを長くすることにより、ユーザの手による磨耗体10の取り外しを容易にするとともに、塵埃の付着した磨耗体10に直接触れずに清掃できるので、ユーザフレンドリーな電気掃除機を実現できる。 Further, one end of the shaft 12 has an insertion portion 20, and the other end of the shaft 12 has a holding portion 21 longer than the length of the insertion portion 20. The insertion portion 20 of the shaft 12 is inserted and held in a holding hole (not shown) formed by the lower member 5 and the upper member 2 constituting the suction tool main body 1a. On the other hand, the holding portion 21 of the shaft 12 is provided with a rotation stopping portion 16 at a part of the holding portion 21. And the rotation prevention part 16 of the holding | maintenance part 21 is engage | inserted by the receiving part 17 provided in the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a, and is pinched | interposed and hold | maintained detachably with the holding body 18 (FIG. 7), and rotates. Fix it freely. That is, the insertion portion 20 of the shaft 12 of the wear body 10 is a holding hole, and the holding portion 21 of the shaft 12 is detachably held by the suction tool main body 1 a by the holding body 18. Thereby, when the wear body 10 rotates, by fixing the shaft 12 in a freely rotatable manner, the shaft 12 can be prevented from being worn, rattled and vibrated, and durability can be improved. Further, by making the length of the holding portion 21 longer than the insertion portion 20 of the shaft 12, the wearer 10 can be easily removed by the user's hand and can be cleaned without directly touching the wearer 10 attached with dust. Therefore, a user-friendly vacuum cleaner can be realized.
 なお、軸12の保持部21側の端部12aの近傍には、例えばローレット加工やコーティングなどにより滑り止め加工を施した滑り止め部22を設けることが好ましい。これにより、ユーザの手による磨耗体10の取り外しなどの取り扱い性を、さらに向上させて、磨耗体10の掃除を容易にできる。 In addition, it is preferable to provide the anti-slip | skid part 22 which gave the anti-slip | skid process by knurling process, coating, etc. in the vicinity of the edge part 12a by the side of the holding | maintenance part 21 of the axis | shaft 12, for example. Thereby, the handleability such as removal of the wear body 10 by the user's hand can be further improved, and the wear body 10 can be easily cleaned.
 また、図6に示すように、吸込具本体1aの後方の左右どちらか一方には、例えば電動機やタービンなどの駆動部13が設けられている。駆動部13の出力は、回転ブラシ7の一端に設けたギア(図示せず)にベルト14を介して伝達され、回転ブラシ7は一定方向に回転する。これにより、後述するように、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の回転方向を一定にできるので、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10や板部材9との接触で発生するマイナスイオンを一定方向(吸込具本体1aの前方)に安定して放出できる。すなわち、図9に示す従来の吸込具40の後進操作時におけるブラシ群の回転方向の反転(時計回り)による、マイナスイオンの吸込具40への吸い込みを防止して、確実にマイナスイオンを被清掃面に供給できる。このとき、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とが互いに回転することにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10との接触位置が変化し、同じ位置での接触を避けることができるため、磨耗体10の耐久性が向上する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a drive unit 13 such as an electric motor or a turbine is provided on either the left or right side behind the suction tool main body 1a. The output of the drive unit 13 is transmitted to a gear (not shown) provided at one end of the rotating brush 7 via the belt 14, and the rotating brush 7 rotates in a certain direction. Thereby, as will be described later, the rotation direction of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 can be made constant, so that negative ions generated by contact between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate member 9 are kept constant. It can discharge stably in the direction (front of the suction tool main body 1a). That is, the negative ions are prevented from being sucked into the suction tool 40 by reversing the rotation direction (clockwise) of the brush group during the backward operation of the conventional suction tool 40 shown in FIG. Can be supplied to the surface. At this time, when the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 rotate with each other, the contact position between the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 changes, and contact at the same position is avoided. Therefore, the durability of the wear body 10 is improved.
 また、図7に示すように、保持体18は、吸込口15の内部で吸込口15の一部を形成するように配置されている。このとき、保持体18の吸込口15を形成する面は、吸込具本体1aの吸込口15を形成する面と略同一面(同一面を含む)となるように形成されている。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8や吸引される塵埃などの引っ掛かりを防止して、磨耗体10や回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の耐久性を向上させるとともに、清掃作業を容易にできる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the holding body 18 is arranged so as to form a part of the suction port 15 inside the suction port 15. At this time, the surface forming the suction port 15 of the holding body 18 is formed to be substantially the same surface (including the same surface) as the surface forming the suction port 15 of the suction tool main body 1a. This prevents the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the sucked dust and the like from being caught, improves the durability of the wear body 10 and the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7, and facilitates the cleaning operation.
 また、図7に示すように、保持体18には、保持体18を吸込具本体1aの下部材5に着脱自在に固定させる尾錠部19が回転自在に設けられている。そして、尾錠部19は、保持体18が吸込具本体1aの下部材5に固定されたとき、保持体18と略同一面(同一面を含む)となるように構成されている。尾錠部19で吸込具本体1aの下部材5に固定された保持体18により、磨耗体10は軸12を介して回転自在に固定して保持することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the holding body 18 is rotatably provided with a buckle portion 19 for detachably fixing the holding body 18 to the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a. And the buckle part 19 is comprised so that it may become a substantially identical surface (a same surface is included) as the holding body 18, when the holding body 18 is fixed to the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1a. The wearable body 10 can be rotatably fixed via the shaft 12 by the holding body 18 fixed to the lower member 5 of the suction tool main body 1 a by the buckle portion 19.
 以上のように構成された電気掃除機用吸込具の動作および作用について、以下に説明する。なお、実施の形態1の電気掃除機用吸込具と重複する動作および作用については、簡単に説明する。 The operation and action of the vacuum cleaner suction tool configured as described above will be described below. In addition, the operation | movement and effect | action which overlap with the vacuum cleaner suction tool of Embodiment 1 are demonstrated easily.
 まず、図1に示すように、ホース31に設けたスイッチで電動送風機33を起動して、負圧を発生させ、掃除機本体32内部に流れ込む吸引風を発生させる。そして、発生した吸引風により、延長管30、パイプ6を介して、吸込具本体1aの吸込口15から、床面などの被清掃面に存在する塵埃が、掃除機本体32に送り込まれる。 First, as shown in FIG. 1, the electric blower 33 is activated by a switch provided on the hose 31 to generate a negative pressure and generate a suction air flowing into the cleaner body 32. And the dust which exists in to-be-cleaned surfaces, such as a floor surface, is sent into the cleaner main body 32 from the suction inlet 15 of the suction tool main body 1a through the extension pipe 30 and the pipe 6 with the produced | generated suction wind.
 このとき、回転ブラシ7を回転させる電動機からなる駆動部13も起動され、駆動部13はベルト14を介して、例えば2つの回転ブラシ7を同時に回転させる。図1中の矢印Cで示す方向から見たとき、回転ブラシ7は反時計方向に回転する。回転する回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とが接触することにより、磨耗体10は、回転ブラシ7の回転方向と反対である時計方向に回転駆動される。しかし、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10とは接触により回転するため、磨耗体10と回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8とは完全に同期して回転しない。そのため、被清掃面の負荷の状態によって発生する、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と磨耗体10との回転差動により、摩擦が発生する。そこで、磨耗体10を回転させる構成により、磨耗体10を固定した場合に比べて、例えば発生した摩擦などによる回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8への負荷を小さくして、耐久性を向上できる。 At this time, the drive unit 13 composed of an electric motor that rotates the rotary brush 7 is also activated, and the drive unit 13 simultaneously rotates, for example, two rotary brushes 7 via the belt 14. When viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 1, the rotating brush 7 rotates counterclockwise. When the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating rotary brush 7 come into contact with each other, the wear body 10 is rotationally driven in the clockwise direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary brush 7. However, since the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 rotate by contact, the wear body 10 and the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 do not rotate in complete synchronization. Therefore, friction is generated by the rotational differential between the brush body 8 and the wear body 10 of the rotating brush 7 that is generated depending on the load state of the surface to be cleaned. Therefore, the configuration in which the wear body 10 is rotated can reduce the load on the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 due to the generated friction or the like, for example, as compared with the case where the wear body 10 is fixed, thereby improving the durability.
 そして、プラス側の帯電順位を有する回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8は、回転により、マイナス側の帯電順位を有する磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けたプレート11および板部材9と接触して擦り合う。その結果、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10または磨耗体10に設けたプレート11および板部材9との間の摩擦により、マイナスイオンが発生する。 Then, the brush body 8 of the rotary brush 7 having the plus charge order comes into contact with and rubs against the wear body 10 having the minus charge order or the plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10 by rotation. . As a result, negative ions are generated due to friction between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate 11 and the plate member 9 provided on the wear body 10.
 発生したマイナスイオンは、反時計回りで回転する回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8により、吸込具本体1aの前方の、床などの被清掃面に向かって散布される。このとき、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の長手方向に対向して設けられた磨耗体10のプレート11および板部材9により、マイナスイオンが吸込具本体1aの前方の広い領域にわたって、散布される。これにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8と、磨耗体10や板部材9との接触で発生するマイナスイオンを一定方向(吸込具本体1aの前方)に安定して被清掃面に放出することができる。すなわち、磨耗体10を回転させることにより、磨耗体10との摩擦力などの回転ブラシ7への駆動負荷を低減して、マイナスイオンを効率的に発生できる。 The generated negative ions are scattered toward the surface to be cleaned such as the floor in front of the suction tool main body 1a by the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 that rotates counterclockwise. At this time, negative ions are dispersed over a wide area in front of the suction tool main body 1a by the plate 11 and the plate member 9 of the wear body 10 provided facing the longitudinal direction of the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7. Thereby, negative ions generated by the contact between the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 and the wear body 10 or the plate member 9 can be stably released to the surface to be cleaned in a certain direction (in front of the suction tool body 1a). it can. That is, by rotating the wear body 10, the driving load on the rotating brush 7 such as a frictional force with the wear body 10 can be reduced, and negative ions can be generated efficiently.
 しかし、通常、掃除作業で発生する、磨耗体10への塵埃の汚れ、糸や髪の毛などの長尺の塵埃の巻き付きを確実に防止できないため、磨耗体10を常にスムーズに回転する状態に維持できない。 However, since it is not possible to reliably prevent dust dirt on the wearable body 10 and wrapping of long dust such as yarn and hair that normally occur during cleaning work, the wearable body 10 cannot always be maintained in a smoothly rotating state. .
 そこで、本実施の形態では、磨耗体10をスムーズに回転する状態に維持するために、磨耗体10を保持体18により着脱自在の構成としている。具体的には、まず、回転ブラシ7を吸込具1から取り外す。つぎに、尾錠部19を解除して保持体18を吸込具1から取り外す。最後に、軸12を介して磨耗体10を取り外す。これにより、例えば塵埃を除去する場合などの磨耗体10のメンテナンスが容易な電気掃除機用吸込具およびそれを用いた電気掃除機を実現できる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the wear body 10 is configured to be detachable by the holding body 18 in order to maintain the wear body 10 in a smoothly rotating state. Specifically, first, the rotating brush 7 is removed from the suction tool 1. Next, the buckle portion 19 is released and the holding body 18 is removed from the suction tool 1. Finally, the wear body 10 is removed via the shaft 12. Thereby, the suction tool for vacuum cleaners in which the maintenance of the wear body 10 such as when dust is removed, and the vacuum cleaner using the same can be realized.
 また、本実施の形態によれば、軸12の保持部21の長さを軸12の挿入部20の長さより長く形成し、かつ保持部21に滑り止め部22を設けることにより、磨耗体10の取り外しを容易にできる。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the length of the holding portion 21 of the shaft 12 is longer than the length of the insertion portion 20 of the shaft 12 and the anti-slip portion 22 is provided on the holding portion 21, whereby the wear body 10. Can be easily removed.
 また、本実施の形態によれば、磨耗やガタツキを防止する軸12の保持部21の回転止め部16を保持体18側に設けることにより、軸12は回転固定できるとともに、磨耗体10の装着や離脱が容易にできる。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the rotation stop 16 of the holding portion 21 of the shaft 12 that prevents wear and backlash is provided on the holding body 18 side, whereby the shaft 12 can be rotationally fixed and the wear body 10 can be mounted. And can be easily removed.
 また、本実施の形態によれば、保持体18や尾錠部19は吸込口15の内壁と略同一面(同一面を含む)とすることにより、回転ブラシ7のブラシ体8の引っ掛かりなどによる負荷の上昇を抑制するとともに、吸込口15の内壁での塵埃の溜りなどを未然に防ぐことができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the holding body 18 and the buckle portion 19 are substantially flush with the inner wall of the suction port 15 (including the same face), so that the load caused by the brush body 8 of the rotating brush 7 being caught or the like. And the accumulation of dust on the inner wall of the suction port 15 can be prevented.
 なお、本実施の形態においても、実施の形態1と同様の作用や効果が得られることは言うまでもない。 In this embodiment, it is needless to say that the same operations and effects as those in Embodiment 1 can be obtained.
 また、上記各実施の形態の構成を互いに適応しても同様の効果が得られることは言うまでもない。 Further, it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the configurations of the above embodiments are adapted to each other.
 なお、上記各実施の形態では、回転ブラシのブラシ体を帯電順位がプラス側にある素材で構成し、磨耗体およびプレートや板部材を帯電順位がマイナス側にある素材で構成する例で説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、回転ブラシのブラシ体を帯電順位がマイナス側にある素材で構成し、磨耗体およびプレートや板部材を帯電順位がプラス側にある素材で構成してもよい。すなわち、接触する回転ブラシのブラシ体と、磨耗体およびプレートや板部材とが、互いに異なる帯電順位にある素材で構成すればよい。これにより、同様の効果および作用が得られる。 In each of the above embodiments, the brush body of the rotating brush is configured with a material having a positive charging order, and the wear body, the plate, and the plate member are configured with a material having a negative charging order. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the brush body of the rotating brush may be made of a material having a negative charging order, and the wear body and the plate or plate member may be made of a material having a positive charging order. In other words, the brush body of the rotating brush that comes into contact with the wear body, the plate, and the plate member may be made of materials having different charging orders. Thereby, the same effect and operation can be obtained.
