　以下、本実施形態の洗浄装置を図面に基づいて詳述する。本実施形態の洗浄装置１は、往復式電気かみそりである小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａを洗浄するためのもので、小型電気機器Ｅを倒立させた状態でその刃ヘッド部Ｅａを差し込むための開口部２０を上面に備えている。 Hereinafter, the cleaning apparatus of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The cleaning device 1 of the present embodiment is for cleaning the blade head portion Ea of the small electric device E that is a reciprocating electric shaver, and for inserting the blade head portion Ea in a state where the small electric device E is inverted. The opening 20 is provided on the upper surface.
　洗浄装置１は、図３と図５及び図６に示すように、その内部に洗浄皿５と、洗浄液を蓄える容器７と、洗浄液を容器７と洗浄皿５との間で循環させるポンプＰと、洗浄後の刃ヘッド部Ｅａを乾燥させるためのヒータユニットＨ及びモータファンＦを備え、さらに上部後方側には小型電気機器Ｅとの間の電気的接続用の接続部を備えるサポート部Ｓを有している。 As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the cleaning device 1 includes a cleaning dish 5, a container 7 that stores the cleaning liquid, and a pump P that circulates the cleaning liquid between the container 7 and the cleaning dish 5. The support unit S includes a heater unit H and a motor fan F for drying the cleaned blade head portion Ea, and further includes a connection portion for electrical connection with the small electrical device E on the upper rear side. Have.
　洗浄液を入れた容器７を洗浄装置１にセットし、開口部２０を通じて洗浄皿５内に小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａを位置させると同時に、サポート部Ｓの接続部で小型電気機器Ｅと洗浄装置１とを電気的に接続し、この状態でポンプＰを作動させれば、ポンプＰが容器７内の洗浄液を洗浄皿５内に供給する。洗浄皿５に設けた越流堰５４を超えた洗浄液は洗浄皿５の下方に位置する容器７内に戻る。この洗浄中は上記接続部を通じた給電及び信号の送信によって小型電気機器Ｅにおける刃ヘッド部Ｅａを作動させることで、刃ヘッド部Ｅａの洗浄をより迅速に且つ効果的に行うことができる。 The container 7 containing the cleaning liquid is set in the cleaning device 1, and the blade head portion Ea of the small electrical device E is positioned in the cleaning dish 5 through the opening 20, and at the same time, the small electrical device E is connected to the connection portion of the support portion S. If the cleaning apparatus 1 is electrically connected and the pump P is operated in this state, the pump P supplies the cleaning liquid in the container 7 into the cleaning dish 5. The cleaning liquid that has passed through the overflow weir 54 provided in the cleaning dish 5 returns to the container 7 located below the cleaning dish 5. During the cleaning, by operating the blade head portion Ea in the small electric device E by power feeding and signal transmission through the connecting portion, the blade head portion Ea can be cleaned more quickly and effectively.
　次に洗浄装置１の各部について図５及び図６に基づき詳述する。洗浄装置１は、底板１１と、この底板１１に対して上下動が可能なベース基板１２、ベース基板１２上に設置される支持枠１３、支持枠１３の上縁によって四周上縁が支持される洗浄皿５、開口部２０を備える天面カバー２、前記接続部が取り付けられるサポート台６、側面を覆う側面カバー１５、前面に配される前面カバー１６等からなる。なお、このうち支持枠１３、天面カバー２、洗浄皿５およびサポート台６を除く、底板１１とベース基板１２と側面カバー１５と前面カバー１６とが、容器７を装着可能とする本実施形態の収容部に相当する。 Next, each part of the cleaning apparatus 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The cleaning device 1 is supported by a bottom plate 11, a base substrate 12 that can move up and down with respect to the bottom plate 11, a support frame 13 installed on the base substrate 12, and an upper edge of the support frame 13. The cleaning plate 5 includes a top cover 2 having an opening 20, a support base 6 to which the connecting portion is attached, a side cover 15 that covers a side surface, a front cover 16 that is disposed on the front surface, and the like. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 11, the base substrate 12, the side cover 15, and the front cover 16 excluding the support frame 13, the top cover 2, the cleaning dish 5, and the support base 6 can mount the container 7. It corresponds to the housing part.
　底板１１は、図５に示すように、その左右両側から夫々ガイド支柱１１０，１１０を立設しており、ベース基板１２はこのガイド支柱１１０に沿って上下動自在となっている。また、底板１１の各ガイド支柱１１０内に配されたばね１１２を備える押し上げ棒１１１により、ベース基板１２は上方に向けて付勢されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the bottom plate 11 is provided with guide columns 110, 110 erected from both the left and right sides, and the base substrate 12 is movable up and down along the guide columns 110. Further, the base substrate 12 is urged upward by a push-up bar 111 provided with a spring 112 disposed in each guide column 110 of the bottom plate 11.
　ベース基板１２上には、図５に示すように、スイッチプレート３１が左右にスライド自在に配されている。ばね３２によって一方向に付勢されているとともに一端を側面カバー１５から外部に露出させているスイッチプレート３１は、ガイド支柱１１０上端に形成されたフック部１１５との係合部を備えており、ばね３２の付勢に抗してスイッチプレート３１を押し込めば、フック部１１５との係合が外れるためにベース基板１２はばね１１２の付勢を受けて上動する。ベース基板１２を下方に押し込めば、フック部１１５にスイッチプレート３１が再係合するために、ベース基板１２は押し下げられた状態を保持する。 On the base substrate 12, as shown in FIG. 5, a switch plate 31 is slidably arranged to the left and right. The switch plate 31 that is biased in one direction by the spring 32 and has one end exposed to the outside from the side cover 15 includes an engaging portion with a hook portion 115 formed at the upper end of the guide column 110, When the switch plate 31 is pushed in against the bias of the spring 32, the base substrate 12 moves upward under the bias of the spring 112 because the engagement with the hook portion 115 is released. If the base substrate 12 is pushed downward, the switch plate 31 is re-engaged with the hook portion 115, so that the base substrate 12 is held in the depressed state.
　ベース基板１２は、図５に示すように、下方に突出する筒状のモータカバー部１２０を備えて、該モータカバー部１２０内にモータケース１２１を介してモータＭを収容している。モータカバー部１２０の底面よりＭ字型シール１２２を介して下方に突出するモータ出力軸には、図１２にも示すように、羽根車１２３が取り付けられ、羽根車１２３の周囲は底部中央部に吸い込み口が開口するポンプカバー１２４が取り付けられている。なお、羽根車１２３が回転する時、ポンプカバー１２４の吸い込み口から吸引された洗浄液は、モータカバー部１２０に一体に設けた接続管１２６を通じて洗浄皿５の後述する給排水口５６へと送られる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the base substrate 12 includes a cylindrical motor cover portion 120 projecting downward, and the motor M is accommodated in the motor cover portion 120 via a motor case 121. As shown in FIG. 12, an impeller 123 is attached to the motor output shaft that protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the motor cover portion 120 through the M-shaped seal 122, and the periphery of the impeller 123 is at the center of the bottom portion. A pump cover 124 having an inlet opening is attached. When the impeller 123 rotates, the cleaning liquid sucked from the suction port of the pump cover 124 is sent to a later-described water supply / drain port 56 of the cleaning dish 5 through a connection pipe 126 provided integrally with the motor cover unit 120.
　モータカバー部１２０の外周側には、３本の水位検知ピン２４，２５，２６を配設してある。容器７内の洗浄液中に浸漬することになるこれら３本の水位検知ピン２４，２５，２６は、これらの間の電気抵抗値によって洗浄液の水位を検知する。つまりは洗浄液が導電性を有するために水位検知ピン２４，２５間、及び水位検知ピン２４，２６間に洗浄液がない時は電気抵抗値が所定の値より大きくなることを利用して水位を検知する。 Three water level detection pins 24, 25, 26 are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the motor cover part 120. These three water level detection pins 24, 25 and 26 to be immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container 7 detect the water level of the cleaning liquid based on the electric resistance value between them. In other words, since the cleaning liquid has conductivity, the water level is detected by utilizing the fact that the electrical resistance value is larger than a predetermined value when there is no cleaning liquid between the water level detection pins 24 and 25 and between the water level detection pins 24 and 26. To do.
　ここで水位検知ピン２４、２５，２６のうち、水位検知ピン２４の下端位置が最も低く、水位検知ピン２５，２６の下端位置も高さを異ならせているために、２段階の洗浄液水位、例えば洗浄液の残量が少なくなってきた時と、洗浄液を循環させて洗浄動作させるのに必要な量よりも少なくなった時（洗浄が不能となる時）とを検知することができる。なお、水位検知ピン２４の下端を他の２つの水位検知ピン２５，２６よりも更に低いところに位置させているのは、洗浄装置１を傾斜面に設置した時の検知余裕を持たすためである。 Here, among the water level detection pins 24, 25 and 26, the lower end position of the water level detection pin 24 is the lowest, and the lower end positions of the water level detection pins 25 and 26 are also different in height. For example, it is possible to detect when the remaining amount of the cleaning liquid has decreased and when it has become less than the amount necessary for circulating the cleaning liquid to perform the cleaning operation (when cleaning cannot be performed). The reason why the lower end of the water level detection pin 24 is positioned lower than the other two water level detection pins 25 and 26 is to provide a detection margin when the cleaning device 1 is installed on an inclined surface. .
　ベース基板１２上には支持枠１３を介して洗浄皿５が配設される。軟質材、たとえばゴムによって形成された洗浄皿５は、その上縁から外周側に突出して先端が下方側に折り返された折り返し部５０を備えている。該折り返し部５０を支持枠１３上縁に被せた状態で、天面カバー２を組み付ければ、図８に示すように、天面カバー２の下縁に設けた背部カバー２３が洗浄皿５の上縁の天面に設けられている溝５１に嵌り込む。天面カバー２と支持枠１３との間で洗浄皿５の上縁が圧縮されて、この部分の防水が保たれるものである。 The cleaning dish 5 is disposed on the base substrate 12 via the support frame 13. The washing dish 5 formed of a soft material such as rubber includes a folded portion 50 that protrudes from the upper edge to the outer peripheral side and has its tip folded back downward. When the top cover 2 is assembled with the folded portion 50 placed on the upper edge of the support frame 13, the back cover 23 provided on the lower edge of the top cover 2 is attached to the cleaning dish 5 as shown in FIG. 8. It fits into a groove 51 provided on the top surface of the upper edge. The upper edge of the cleaning dish 5 is compressed between the top cover 2 and the support frame 13, and the waterproofness of this portion is maintained.
　洗浄皿５は、図１３～図１５にも示すように、その内部に越流堰５４を備えて、該越流堰５４の前部側を洗浄部５２，後部側をオーバーフロー部５３に仕切っている。洗浄部５２は小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａを収める部分で、越流堰５４側の壁面に一体に設けたリブ５５、洗浄皿５の内面に配置されるヘッドガイド３５の支持部３６との間で刃ヘッド部Ｅａの前後方向の位置決めを行う。また、洗浄皿５の底面には複数条の凸帯５９が設けられており、この凸帯５９によって刃ヘッド部Ｅａは底面から少し浮かされた状態で支持される。 As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the washing dish 5 is provided with an overflow weir 54 inside, and the front side of the overflow weir 54 is divided into a washing part 52 and the rear side is divided into an overflow part 53. Yes. The cleaning part 52 is a part for storing the blade head part Ea of the small electric device E, and includes a rib 55 integrally provided on the wall surface on the overflow weir 54 side, a support part 36 of the head guide 35 disposed on the inner surface of the cleaning dish 5, and The blade head portion Ea is positioned in the front-rear direction. Further, a plurality of convex bands 59 are provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning dish 5, and the blade head part Ea is supported by the convex bands 59 in a state of being slightly lifted from the bottom surface.
　洗浄皿５の洗浄部５２はその最低部に給排水口５６を備え、オーバーフロー部５３に２つの排水口５７，５８を備えている。給排水口５６は、ベース基台１２に設けられた接続管１２６を介してポンプＰに接続される。排水口５７，５８はベース基台１２に設けられた接続管１２７，１２８に接続される。なお、これら接続管１２７，１２８は洗浄液を蓄える容器７の直上に位置し、排水口５７，５８を通る排水は接続管１２７，１２８を通じて容器７に戻される。 The washing part 52 of the washing dish 5 is provided with a water supply / drain port 56 at the lowest part thereof and two drainage ports 57 and 58 at the overflow part 53. The water supply / drain port 56 is connected to the pump P through a connection pipe 126 provided in the base base 12. The drain ports 57 and 58 are connected to connecting pipes 127 and 128 provided on the base base 12. These connecting pipes 127 and 128 are located immediately above the container 7 for storing the cleaning liquid, and the drainage through the drainage ports 57 and 58 is returned to the container 7 through the connecting pipes 127 and 128.
　ここで、２つの排水口５７，５８のうち、上面開口部が低い位置にある排水口５７が洗浄液を循環させるための排水を担う。上面開口部が高く且つ排水口５７よりも越流堰５４から遠い位置にある排水口５８は、排水口５７が何らかの原因で詰まったりしてその機能を果たせなくなった際の非常用である。このために、オーバーフロー部５３の底面は、片側に位置する排水口５７に向かって下り傾斜している傾斜面としてある。 Here, out of the two drain ports 57, 58, the drain port 57 at a position where the upper surface opening is low serves as drainage for circulating the cleaning liquid. The drain port 58 having a higher top opening and farther from the overflow weir 54 than the drain port 57 is an emergency when the drain port 57 is clogged for some reason and cannot perform its function. Therefore, the bottom surface of the overflow portion 53 is an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the drain port 57 located on one side.
　洗浄皿５の前縁の一側に設けた袋形状の壁体５００で囲まれた部分は、動作指示用のセレクト釦２９の配置用であり、天面カバー２上に露出するセレクト釦２９の操作はスイッチ棒２９０（図６参照）を介してスイッチ基板２７（図５参照）のスイッチを駆動する。このために、セレクト釦２９で洗浄装置１の動作を指示することができ、この時、スイッチ基板２７に設けた動作表示用の表示ランプが導光板２８を介して天面カバー２上に指示に応じた表示を行う。なお、表示ランプには容器７内の水量表示用のものも設けている。 A portion surrounded by a bag-shaped wall body 500 provided on one side of the front edge of the washing dish 5 is for the arrangement of the select button 29 for operation instruction, and the select button 29 exposed on the top cover 2 is arranged. The operation drives the switch on the switch board 27 (see FIG. 5) via the switch rod 290 (see FIG. 6). For this purpose, the operation of the cleaning device 1 can be instructed by the select button 29. At this time, the operation display indicator lamp provided on the switch board 27 is instructed on the top cover 2 via the light guide plate 28. Display accordingly. An indicator lamp for displaying the amount of water in the container 7 is also provided.
　天面カバー２が有する背部カバー２３によって背面側が覆われるとともに、背部カバー２３とでサポート部Ｓを構成するサポート台６は、ばね３７によって支持部材３８を介して前方に向けて個別に付勢された複数の接点部３９を備える。接点部３９はサポート台６の前面よりも突出しない状態でサポート台６前面に露出する。 The back surface side is covered by the back cover 23 of the top cover 2, and the support base 6 that forms the support portion S with the back cover 23 is individually urged forward by the spring 37 via the support member 38. A plurality of contact portions 39 are provided. The contact portion 39 is exposed to the front surface of the support base 6 without protruding from the front surface of the support base 6.
　接点部３９の上方には、小型電気機器Ｅの吸着用としての磁石４３とヨーク４４とが設置されている。洗浄皿５に刃ヘッド部Ｅａを嵌め込んだ時、小型電気機器Ｅは磁石４３による磁気吸着でサポート部Ｓに引きつけられ、小型電気機器Ｅが備える端子部Ｅｂが接点部３９に接触するとともに端子部Ｅｂが接点部３９をばね３７に抗して押し込むことで接点圧を確保する状態が保持される。なお、接点部３９と端子部Ｅｂとの接触により、小型電気機器Ｅへの給電や洗浄装置１から小型電気機器Ｅへの信号伝達が可能な状態となる。 A magnet 43 and a yoke 44 for attracting the small electric device E are installed above the contact point 39. When the blade head portion Ea is fitted into the washing dish 5, the small electric device E is attracted to the support portion S by magnetic attraction by the magnet 43, and the terminal portion Eb of the small electric device E contacts the contact portion 39 and the terminal The state in which the contact pressure is secured by the portion Eb pushing the contact portion 39 against the spring 37 is maintained. Note that the contact between the contact portion 39 and the terminal portion Eb enables power supply to the small electrical device E and signal transmission from the cleaning device 1 to the small electrical device E.
　サポート部Ｓ内に配されて、複数の接点部３９と接する本体検知板４２は、小型電気機器Ｅが装着されて接点部３９が後退した時に接点部３９から離れることで、小型電気機器Ｅが洗浄装置１に装着されたことを検出するためのものである。 The main body detection plate 42 arranged in the support portion S and in contact with the plurality of contact portions 39 is separated from the contact portion 39 when the small electric device E is attached and the contact portion 39 is retracted, so that the small electric device E is This is for detecting that the cleaning apparatus 1 is mounted.
　サポート台６の下部には背面側にモータファンＦが装着される吹き出し口６６が設けられている。この吹き出し口６６部分の下縁は、洗浄皿５の後部上縁の上に載る。モータファンＦは洗浄装置１の背面に位置する吸込み口１５０から空気を吸い込み、吹き出し口６６から小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａに向けて送風する。このためにモータファンＦの吹出し口６６は刃ヘッド部Ｅａに向かって上方から送風して乾燥できるように斜め下方に向けられており、さらに効率良く風向きを変えるための整流板６７を備えている。 A blow-off port 66 to which the motor fan F is attached is provided on the back side of the support base 6. The lower edge of the outlet 66 is placed on the upper rear edge of the cleaning dish 5. The motor fan F sucks air from the suction port 150 located on the back surface of the cleaning device 1 and blows air from the blow-out port 66 toward the blade head portion Ea of the small electrical device E. For this purpose, the air outlet 66 of the motor fan F is directed obliquely downward so that it can be blown and dried from above toward the blade head portion Ea, and further provided with a current plate 67 for changing the air direction more efficiently. .
　洗浄皿５の洗浄部５２の裏面（下面）側には加熱のためのヒータユニットＨが設置されている。ヒータ線とヒータ板、ヒータ基台、温度制御用の温度検出器と異常加熱時の保護部品とを備える（図示せず）ヒータユニットＨは、ヒータ線からヒータ板、洗浄皿５、洗浄皿５の凸帯５９を通じて刃ヘッド部Ｅａに熱を伝達し、洗浄後の刃ヘッド部Ｅａの乾燥を促す。 A heater unit H for heating is installed on the back surface (lower surface) side of the cleaning unit 52 of the cleaning dish 5. The heater unit H includes a heater wire, a heater plate, a heater base, a temperature detector for temperature control, and a protection component for abnormal heating (not shown). The heat is transmitted to the blade head portion Ea through the convex band 59 to promote drying of the blade head portion Ea after cleaning.
　ベース基台１２上に支持枠１３を介して洗浄皿５及び天面カバー２が組み付けられ、これらの外周を囲むように側面カバー１５と前部カバー１６とが取り付けられる。従って、底板１１に対してベース基台１２を上下動させる時、底板１１と、底板１１上に着脱自在に設置される容器７を除く他の部材は全てベース基台１２と一体に上下動を行う。この上下動は、底板１１上に配置する容器７の着脱操作のためである。 The washing dish 5 and the top cover 2 are assembled on the base base 12 via the support frame 13, and the side cover 15 and the front cover 16 are attached so as to surround the outer periphery thereof. Therefore, when the base base 12 is moved up and down with respect to the bottom plate 11, all the members other than the bottom plate 11 and the container 7 detachably installed on the bottom plate 11 move up and down integrally with the base base 12. Do. This vertical movement is for the attachment / detachment operation of the container 7 arranged on the bottom plate 11.
　次に容器７とこの容器７内に着脱自在に配されるフィルター枠８について図１６，１７，１８Ａ，１８Ｂ，１９Ａ～１９Ｄに基づき説明する。底板１１上に設置される上面が開口した容器７は、後部側の横幅が前部側の横幅よりも狭くなっているカップ状であって、内壁には給水ライン７０が記されている。容器７下面には、複数個の凸状隆起部７６が設けられており、洗浄装置１外に容器７を置いた場合の安定性を確保するとともに、水洗い等により容器７の下面に水滴が付着しても不用意に容器７を置いた場所に移着しないようにしてある。 Next, the container 7 and the filter frame 8 that is detachably arranged in the container 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16, 17, 18A, 18B, and 19A to 19D. The container 7 having an open top surface installed on the bottom plate 11 has a cup shape in which the lateral width on the rear side is narrower than the lateral width on the front side, and a water supply line 70 is described on the inner wall. A plurality of convex raised portions 76 are provided on the lower surface of the container 7 to ensure stability when the container 7 is placed outside the cleaning device 1 and water drops adhere to the lower surface of the container 7 by washing with water or the like. Even if it is not carelessly moved to the place where the container 7 is placed.
　フィルター枠８は、容器７の底面をほぼ覆う底板部８０と、底板部８０の後部から立ち上がるとともに両側縁が容器７の内壁面に接する仕切り壁８１とを備えており、容器７内には容器７の内壁に設けた位置決め用の凸部７４によって位置決めされる。このフィルター枠８により、容器７の内部は、仕切り壁８１で仕切られる２つの空間７ａ，７ｂと、さらに容器７の底面から少し浮いた状態となる底板部８０と容器７の底面との間の空間７ｃとの総計３つの空間に仕切られる。底板部８０はその下面側に升目状のリブ８５を備え、後部上面で空間７ｂに面する部分に凹部８８を備える。容器７内にフィルター枠８を配した時、その周縁のうちの前縁部は容器７の内壁面との間に間隔を開けた状態となる。 The filter frame 8 includes a bottom plate portion 80 that substantially covers the bottom surface of the container 7, and a partition wall 81 that rises from the rear portion of the bottom plate portion 80 and has both side edges in contact with the inner wall surface of the container 7. 7 is positioned by a convex portion 74 for positioning provided on the inner wall of 7. By the filter frame 8, the inside of the container 7 is formed between the two spaces 7 a and 7 b partitioned by the partition wall 81, and the bottom plate portion 80 that is slightly lifted from the bottom surface of the container 7 and the bottom surface of the container 7. It is partitioned into a total of three spaces with the space 7c. The bottom plate portion 80 is provided with a grid-like rib 85 on the lower surface side thereof, and a concave portion 88 is provided on a portion of the rear upper surface facing the space 7b. When the filter frame 8 is arranged in the container 7, the front edge portion of the peripheral edge is in a state of being spaced from the inner wall surface of the container 7.
　仕切り壁８１の上部には分流部８２が設けられている。分流部８２は、仕切り壁８１の上部に形成された傾斜面８３に透過口８４を設けるとともに、透過口８４の直下にあって傾斜面８３とは逆の傾斜を有する傾斜面８６とを備えたもので、体毛等より細かいメッシュで構成されているフィルター８９が分流部８２の傾斜面８３上に配設される。 A diversion part 82 is provided on the upper part of the partition wall 81. The diversion part 82 is provided with a transmission port 84 in an inclined surface 83 formed on the upper part of the partition wall 81, and an inclined surface 86 that is directly below the transmission port 84 and has an inclination opposite to the inclined surface 83. Therefore, a filter 89 made of a finer mesh than body hair is disposed on the inclined surface 83 of the flow dividing portion 82.
　フィルター８９及び透過口８４を通らない洗浄液は、仕切り壁８１と容器７内壁との間の仕切られた空間７ａから底板部８０と容器７底面との間の空間７ｃと、底板部８０の前縁と容器７内壁面との間の隙間を通じて、底板部８０の上面側の空間７ｂに流れる。フィルター８９及び透過口８４を通過した洗浄液は、傾斜面８６に添って空間７ｃに流入する。なお、透過口８４の開口面積は、フィルター８９及び透過口８４を通る洗浄液のほうが、これらを通らずに空間７ａを経て空間７ｃに入る洗浄液よりも多くなるようにしている。 The cleaning liquid that does not pass through the filter 89 and the permeation port 84 is separated from the partitioned space 7a between the partition wall 81 and the inner wall of the container 7 to the space 7c between the bottom plate portion 80 and the bottom surface of the container 7, and the front edge of the bottom plate portion 80. Flows into the space 7b on the upper surface side of the bottom plate portion 80 through the gap between the container 7 and the inner wall surface of the container 7. The cleaning liquid that has passed through the filter 89 and the permeation port 84 flows into the space 7 c along the inclined surface 86. The opening area of the permeation port 84 is set so that the cleaning liquid that passes through the filter 89 and the permeation port 84 is larger than the cleaning liquid that does not pass through the space 7a and enters the space 7c.
　小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａを洗浄するにあたっては、スイッチプレート３１を操作することで底板１１に対して全体を浮上させ、フィルター枠８を収めた容器７内に洗浄液を入れて底板１１上に容器７を設置する。この時、容器７は底板１１に設けたガイド板１１７によってガイドされ、さらに位置決め突起１１６によって位置決めされる。この突起１１６は、容器７の外壁面に設けた係合凹所７７（図１８Ａ，１８Ｂ参照）に嵌り込むために、容器７が浮き上がることも防ぐ。 When cleaning the blade head portion Ea of the small electrical device E, the switch plate 31 is operated to float the entire surface with respect to the bottom plate 11, and the cleaning liquid is put into the container 7 containing the filter frame 8 and placed on the bottom plate 11. The container 7 is installed in the container. At this time, the container 7 is guided by the guide plate 117 provided on the bottom plate 11 and further positioned by the positioning projection 116. Since this protrusion 116 fits into an engagement recess 77 (see FIGS. 18A and 18B) provided on the outer wall surface of the container 7, the container 7 is also prevented from floating.
　そして洗浄装置１全体を押し下げれば、ベース基台１２に設けたポンプＰの下部が容器７内の洗浄液中に浸かる。ここで、本実施形態の洗浄装置１は、図１Ａ，図１Ｂ，図３，図７，図９，図１１および図１２に示すように、取付枠１８に取り付けられたシール部材１７を備える。そして、このシール部材１７は、容器７の上縁に外周側に突出するものとして形成された鍔部７２とベース基台１２の周部下面との間で挟持されるために、この部分の防水がなされる。なお、シール部材１７についての詳細は後述する。 When the entire cleaning device 1 is pushed down, the lower part of the pump P provided on the base base 12 is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container 7. Here, the cleaning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes a seal member 17 attached to an attachment frame 18 as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 3, 7, 7, 9, and 12. And since this sealing member 17 is clamped between the collar part 72 formed as what protrudes in the outer peripheral side at the upper edge of the container 7, and the peripheral part lower surface of the base base 12, this part is waterproof. Is made. Details of the seal member 17 will be described later.
　上記のように洗浄液を入れた容器７をセットした洗浄装置１に対して、その上面の開口部２０を通じて小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａを洗浄皿５内に収めて小型電気機器Ｅの端子部Ｅｂをサポート部Ｓの接点部３９に接触させる。 With respect to the cleaning apparatus 1 in which the container 7 containing the cleaning liquid is set as described above, the blade head portion Ea of the small electric device E is stored in the cleaning dish 5 through the opening 20 on the upper surface thereof, and the terminal of the small electric device E is stored. The part Eb is brought into contact with the contact part 39 of the support part S.
　この状態で外部電源に接続した洗浄装置１のセレクト釦２９を操作することで洗浄を開始させたならば、ポンプＰが作動して容器７内の洗浄液を接続管１２６及び給排水口５６を通じて洗浄皿５の洗浄部５２内に送り込む。そして洗浄皿５の越流堰５４を超えた洗浄液は、排水口５７と接続管１２７とを通じて容器７内に戻る。従って洗浄液は容器７内と洗浄皿５との間で循環する。 If cleaning is started by operating the select button 29 of the cleaning apparatus 1 connected to the external power source in this state, the pump P is activated and the cleaning liquid in the container 7 is cleaned through the connection pipe 126 and the water supply / drain port 56. 5 into the cleaning section 52. Then, the cleaning liquid that has passed over the overflow weir 54 of the cleaning dish 5 returns to the inside of the container 7 through the drain outlet 57 and the connection pipe 127. Accordingly, the cleaning liquid circulates between the container 7 and the cleaning dish 5.
　この洗浄に際しては、サポート部Ｓを通じて小型電気機器Ｅの刃ヘッド部Ｅａにおける刃を駆動することが好ましい。刃ヘッド部Ｅａの洗浄をより効果的に且つ迅速に行うことができる。 In this cleaning, it is preferable to drive the blade in the blade head portion Ea of the small electric device E through the support portion S. The blade head Ea can be cleaned more effectively and quickly.
　ところで、洗浄皿５内の洗浄液は越流堰５４を超えてオーバーフロー部５３に入り、前述のように排水口５７及び接続管１２７から容器７内に戻るのであるが、この接続管１２７は、容器７における空間７ａ内に位置することになるフィルター８９の直上に位置している。従って体毛等を含んだ洗浄液は、フィルター８９を通ることなく一部の洗浄液とともに空間７ａを流れ落ちて容器７の底部の空間７ｃに入る。フィルター８９及び透過口８４を通過した体毛等を含まない洗浄液は、傾斜面８６によって空間７ｂに位置する凹部８８側へと流れる。ポンプＰの吸い込み口はこの凹部８８のところに位置するために、洗浄液は再度ポンプＰによって洗浄皿５へと送られる。 By the way, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning dish 5 passes the overflow weir 54 and enters the overflow part 53 and returns to the container 7 from the drain 57 and the connection pipe 127 as described above. 7 is located immediately above the filter 89 to be located in the space 7a. Therefore, the cleaning liquid containing hair and the like flows down the space 7 a together with a part of the cleaning liquid without passing through the filter 89 and enters the space 7 c at the bottom of the container 7. The cleaning liquid that does not contain body hair or the like that has passed through the filter 89 and the permeation port 84 flows toward the concave portion 88 located in the space 7 b by the inclined surface 86. Since the suction port of the pump P is located at the recess 88, the cleaning liquid is sent again to the cleaning dish 5 by the pump P.
　一方、容器７の後部片側に位置する空間７ａからフィルター枠８下面と容器７底面との間の空間７ｃに入った体毛や洗浄液は、容器７底面に沿って広がり、フィルター枠８の底板部８０前縁と容器７の前部内壁との隙間から空間７ｂへと流入する。この時、空間７ｃに入った洗浄液は上述のように広がる上に、洗浄皿５へとポンプＰで送り出される洗浄液は、フィルター８９及び透過口８４を通過した体毛等を含まない洗浄液が主となっていることもあって、空間７ｃを通る流量が少なく且つ流速もかなり低く、しかもフィルター枠８の底板部８０下面にある升目状のリブ８５で多数箇所において滞留が生じることから、洗浄液が含んでいる体毛等は空間７ｃにおいて沈殿堆積することになる。 On the other hand, the hair and the cleaning liquid that have entered the space 7c between the lower surface of the filter frame 8 and the bottom surface of the container 7 from the space 7a located on one side of the rear portion of the container 7 spread along the bottom surface of the container 7, and the bottom plate portion 80 of the filter frame 8 It flows into the space 7b from the gap between the front edge and the front inner wall of the container 7. At this time, the cleaning liquid entering the space 7c spreads as described above, and the cleaning liquid sent to the cleaning dish 5 by the pump P is mainly a cleaning liquid that does not include body hair that has passed through the filter 89 and the permeation port 84. In other words, the flow rate through the space 7c is small and the flow rate is considerably low, and the stagnation-like ribs 85 on the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 80 of the filter frame 8 cause stagnation at a number of locations. The hair that is present is deposited in the space 7c.
　そして空間７ｃを通った洗浄液は、容器７の前部側を通ってフィルター枠８の底板部８０上を通り、その後、容器７の後部寄りでポンプＰの吸い込み口が開口している凹部８８に至る上に、沈殿堆積した体毛等と吸い込み口との間には底板部８０があるために、ポンプＰが体毛等を再度吸い込んで洗浄皿５に戻してしまうことはほとんど無い。 Then, the cleaning liquid that has passed through the space 7 c passes through the front side of the container 7, passes over the bottom plate 80 of the filter frame 8, and then enters the recess 88 where the suction port of the pump P is open near the rear of the container 7. In addition, since there is a bottom plate portion 80 between the deposited hair and the suction port, the pump P hardly sucks the hair again and returns it to the washing dish 5.
　なお、空間７ｃは通常数十回程度の洗浄動作による体毛堆積量を確保することができる容積としている。そして、使用者は容器７を洗浄装置１から取り出してフィルター枠８を取り外せば、堆積した体毛を洗い流すことができ、この後、新たな洗浄液を入れることで、初期の洗浄能力を取り戻すことができる。容器７の上縁に設けた前述の鍔部７２は外周側に張り出すものとして形成しており、このために容器７内の洗浄液を捨てるために容器７の開口部を下にした時、洗浄液（及び体毛等）をスムーズに排出することができる。なお、鍔部７２は止水のための剛性を確保するために設けたものであるが、容器７の側壁の肉厚で剛性を確保できる場合は鍔部７２を必要としない。 In addition, the space 7c has a volume that can secure a body hair accumulation amount by a washing operation of several tens of times. And if a user takes out the container 7 from the washing | cleaning apparatus 1 and removes the filter frame 8, he can wash away the accumulated hair and can regain the initial washing | cleaning capability by putting in a new washing | cleaning liquid after this. . The above-described collar portion 72 provided on the upper edge of the container 7 is formed so as to project to the outer peripheral side. For this reason, when the opening of the container 7 is lowered to discard the cleaning liquid in the container 7, the cleaning liquid (And body hair etc.) can be discharged smoothly. In addition, although the collar part 72 is provided in order to ensure the rigidity for water stop, when rigidity can be ensured with the thickness of the side wall of the container 7, the collar part 72 is not required.
　洗浄が終了してポンプＰが停止すれば、洗浄皿５内の洗浄部５２にある洗浄液は、自然落下によって給排水口５６から接続管１２６及びポンプＰ（の羽根車１２３とポンプカバー１２４との間の空間）を通じて容器７に戻る。羽根車１２３部分は容器７内の洗浄液に浸かっている状態である上に、洗浄終了時には洗浄部５２にある洗浄液は体毛等をほとんど含んでいないために、ポンプＰを通るとはいえ、詰まりを生じるようなことはない。また、洗浄動作中にオーバーフロー部５３における排水口５７が詰まるようなことがあっても、排水口５８が別に存在しているために、洗浄液が洗浄皿５から溢れ出してしまうことはない。 When the cleaning is completed and the pump P is stopped, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning unit 52 in the cleaning dish 5 is naturally dropped from the supply / drain port 56 to the connection pipe 126 and the pump P (between the impeller 123 and the pump cover 124). ) To return to the container 7. The impeller 123 part is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container 7 and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning unit 52 contains almost no body hair at the end of cleaning. It never happens. Further, even if the drain outlet 57 in the overflow portion 53 is clogged during the cleaning operation, the cleaning liquid does not overflow from the cleaning dish 5 because the drain outlet 58 exists separately.
　洗浄が終了して洗浄液が容器７内に回収された時点でモータファンＦ及びヒータユニットＨに通電されて刃ヘッド部Ｅａの乾燥が促される。 When the cleaning is finished and the cleaning liquid is collected in the container 7, the motor fan F and the heater unit H are energized to promote the drying of the blade head Ea.
　ところで、本実施形態の洗浄装置１は、上述の通り、シール部材１７を備え、容器７を洗浄装置１にセットした時、シール部材１７によって容器７開口縁の防水がなされる。以下、このシール部材１７について具体的に説明する。 Incidentally, as described above, the cleaning device 1 of the present embodiment includes the sealing member 17, and when the container 7 is set in the cleaning device 1, the sealing member 17 waterproofs the opening edge of the container 7. Hereinafter, the seal member 17 will be specifically described.
　本実施形態のシール部材１７は、たとえば弾性部材によって、図５に示すように、全体として取付枠１８の外周部と略同形のフレーム状に形成される。取付枠１８の外周部には上方へ突出する嵌合片１８１が全周にわたって設けられており、図１Ａに示すように、シール部材１７は、取付枠１８の嵌合片１８１と嵌合するための凹所１７４が全周にわたって形成されている。つまり、嵌合片１８１を凹所１７４に嵌合することでシール部材１７が取付枠１８に取り付けられる。この状態で、取付枠１８は、ベース基板１２の下面側に固定される。 The sealing member 17 of the present embodiment is formed in a frame shape that is substantially the same shape as the outer peripheral portion of the mounting frame 18 as a whole as shown in FIG. A fitting piece 181 projecting upward is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the mounting frame 18 over the entire circumference. As shown in FIG. 1A, the seal member 17 is fitted with the fitting piece 181 of the mounting frame 18. The recess 174 is formed over the entire circumference. That is, the sealing member 17 is attached to the attachment frame 18 by fitting the fitting piece 181 into the recess 174. In this state, the mounting frame 18 is fixed to the lower surface side of the base substrate 12.
　さらに本実施形態のシール部材１７は、図１Ａに示すようにリブを備える。なお、以下の説明では、容器７の収納に伴ってベース基板１２に圧力が加えられる方向を第１の方向（図１Ａでは下方向）と規定し、第１の方向に対して直角を成す方向を第２の方向と規定する。この場合、当該リブは、シール部材１７の外周部１７５（取付枠１８がベース基板１２の下面側に固定された状態で外側に露出している部分）から第２の方向に沿って外側方に突出する第１のリブ１７０と、外周部１７５から第１の方向（下方）に延びる第２のリブ１７２とを一体に備えている。また本実施形態のシール部材１７は、第１のリブ１７０の下面における容器７の端面（唾部７２の上面）との接触点に凸部１７１を備えている。なお、第１および第２のリブ１７０，１７２は、何れもシール部材１７の全周にわたって形成されているが、凸部１７１は、全周にわたって形成されていてもよいし部分的に形成されていてもよい。 Further, the seal member 17 of this embodiment includes a rib as shown in FIG. 1A. In the following description, a direction in which pressure is applied to the base substrate 12 as the container 7 is stored is defined as a first direction (downward in FIG. 1A), and a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Is defined as the second direction. In this case, the rib extends outward along the second direction from the outer peripheral portion 175 of the seal member 17 (the portion exposed to the outside when the mounting frame 18 is fixed to the lower surface side of the base substrate 12). A protruding first rib 170 and a second rib 172 extending in the first direction (downward) from the outer peripheral portion 175 are integrally provided. Further, the seal member 17 of the present embodiment includes a convex portion 171 at a contact point with the end surface of the container 7 (the upper surface of the saliva portion 72) on the lower surface of the first rib 170. The first and second ribs 170 and 172 are both formed over the entire circumference of the seal member 17, but the convex portion 171 may be formed over the entire circumference or may be partially formed. May be.
　そして、図１Ｂに示すように、容器７をセットしてベース基板１２を第１の方向に圧力を加えた時（図１Ｂでは下方に押し下げた時）、容器７の端面（唾部７２の上面）が凸部１７１を押し上げることで、凸部１７１と容器７の端面との接触点を支点として第１および第２のリブ１７０，１７２が一体的に回転する。つまり、上記接触点を支点として第１のリブ１７０が第１の方向とは反対方向（上方向）に撓み、第１のリブ１７０の撓みに伴って外周部１７５および第２のリブ１７２が第２の方向に沿って外側に撓む。この回転により、容器７の内部に入り込んでいる第２のリブ１７２の外側面（外周面）が容器７の内壁（内周面）に密着することで、容器７の開口部の防水がなされる。第１および第２のリブ１７０，１７２を撓ませることで第２のリブ１７２を容器７に密着させるために、シール部材１７に加える第１の方向（下方向）の押し付け力が小さくても、高い密着力を得ることができ、この結果、高い防水性を得ることができる。従って、洗浄装置１を傾けても容器７から洗浄液が漏れ出ることはない。 1B, when the container 7 is set and the base substrate 12 is pressed in the first direction (when pressed downward in FIG. 1B), the end surface of the container 7 (the upper surface of the saliva 72) ) Pushes up the convex portion 171, whereby the first and second ribs 170, 172 rotate integrally with the contact point between the convex portion 171 and the end surface of the container 7 as a fulcrum. In other words, the first rib 170 is bent in the direction opposite to the first direction (upward) with the contact point as a fulcrum, and the outer peripheral portion 175 and the second rib 172 are moved in the first direction as the first rib 170 is bent. Bends outward along the direction of 2. By this rotation, the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the second rib 172 entering the inside of the container 7 comes into close contact with the inner wall (inner peripheral surface) of the container 7, so that the opening of the container 7 is waterproofed. . Even if the pressing force in the first direction (downward) applied to the seal member 17 is small in order to bring the second rib 172 into close contact with the container 7 by bending the first and second ribs 170, 172, High adhesion can be obtained, and as a result, high waterproofness can be obtained. Therefore, the cleaning liquid does not leak from the container 7 even when the cleaning device 1 is tilted.
　なお、シール部材１７に凸部１７１を設けることに代えて、図２０に示すように、容器７の端面に凸部７２０を設けて、この凸部７２０が第１および第２のリブ１７０，１７２を回転させるようにしてもよい。 Instead of providing the projecting portion 171 on the seal member 17, as shown in FIG. 20, a projecting portion 720 is provided on the end surface of the container 7, and the projecting portion 720 is the first and second ribs 170, 172. You may make it rotate.
