Description

本発明は、電気掃除機に関するもので、特に、捕集された塵埃を圧縮する機構を有する電気掃除機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly to a vacuum cleaner having a mechanism for compressing collected dust.

従来のこの種の電気掃除機として、集塵袋を圧縮させ、その圧縮板の位置から塵埃量を判断させるというものがあった(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   As a conventional vacuum cleaner of this type, there is one that compresses a dust bag and determines the amount of dust from the position of the compression plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

ただし、集塵袋の場合は圧縮手段の反転は不要であったが、集塵容器内の塵埃を圧縮させる場合には、容器内の塵埃を圧縮させて集塵量を増加させるとともに、吸引風路を確保して吸引力を長持ちさせるという目的もあり、圧縮手段を往復動作させる必要があり、集塵ケース内の塵埃を圧縮する圧縮板が往復動自在に取り付けられた掃除機本体と、前記掃除機本体を載置状態で支える収納ケースと、前記集塵ケースから下方に突出する作動体とを設け、前記掃除機本体を収納ケースに載置する都度に、前記作動体を前記収納ケースに干渉させて動作させ、その動作力を伝達機構により圧縮板に伝えて掃除後にゴミを圧縮し、さらに前記伝達機構にクラッチを設けて、作動体の動作に関係なく手動でも圧縮板を操作できるようにしたものがある(例えば、特許文献2参照)。

However, in the case of a dust bag, it was not necessary to reverse the compression means. However, when the dust in the dust container is compressed, the dust in the container is compressed to increase the amount of collected dust and There is also an object of securing the path and extending the suction force, it is necessary to reciprocate the compression means, and the vacuum cleaner main body to which the compression plate for compressing the dust in the dust collecting case is attached reciprocally, A storage case that supports the vacuum cleaner main body in a mounted state and an operating body that protrudes downward from the dust collection case are provided, and each time the vacuum cleaner main body is mounted on the storage case, the operating body is attached to the storage case. Operate by interfering, transmitting the operating force to the compression plate by the transmission mechanism, compressing dust after cleaning, and providing a clutch in the transmission mechanism so that the compression plate can be operated manually regardless of the operation of the operating body I have something For example, see Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-7927 Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-4776

しかしながら、上記特許文献2に記載された電気掃除機の構成では、集塵量の報知という機能を持っておらず、特許文献1に記載された手法も、安定した圧縮機構を考慮しておらず、集塵容器内部に検出するための手段を配する必要があり、耐久性や精度の観点からも塵埃量の検出に用いることは困難であった。   However, the configuration of the vacuum cleaner described in Patent Document 2 does not have a function of notifying the amount of dust collection, and the method described in Patent Document 1 does not consider a stable compression mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a means for detection inside the dust collecting container, and it is difficult to use it for detecting the amount of dust from the viewpoint of durability and accuracy.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、安定した圧縮力で塵埃容器内の塵埃を圧縮することが出来、耐久性に優れ且つ、精度の高い集塵量の報知を行うことができる電気掃除機を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, can compress dust in a dust container with a stable compressive force, and can perform highly accurate notification of the amount of collected dust. An object is to provide a vacuum cleaner.

Detecting the amount of load applied to the compression drive means, a compression means for compressing the dust collected and collected in the dust collection container, a compression drive means for driving the compression means, and a compression drive means A load amount detection unit; a compression amount detection unit that detects a compression amount of the compression unit; and a dust collection amount notification unit that reports a dust amount in the dust collection container. The compression unit compresses the dust. When the load amount detection means detects a predetermined load amount, the compression means is retracted, and the dust amount in the dust collecting container is determined based on the compression amount detected by the compression amount detection means, The dust amount is notified by the dust collection amount notification means. Because the dust is always compressed with a constant force regardless of the amount of dust in the dust collection container, the dust compression is insufficient or the compression force is too strong. The dust container is not damaged or deformed, and since it does not use a mechanical release mechanism such as a clutch mechanism, it has excellent durability, and the actual amount of dust can be determined by the amount of movement of the compression means. Therefore, it is possible to provide a vacuum cleaner that can perform highly accurate dust collection amount determination and notification.

52は、マイクロコンピュータなどにより構成される制御手段で、使用者によって運転操作部8より入力された操作情報に基づき、電動送風機2を駆動する駆動手段54へ信号を出力したり、操作情報や通電検知手段51の検知情報に基づき、圧縮手段を駆動する圧縮駆動手段55へ信号を出力する制御手段である。圧縮駆動手段55は、ギヤE56を回駆動する圧縮駆動モータ56などから構成され、前記制御手段52からの信号を受けて、圧縮手段を駆動している。53は、圧縮駆動モータ56に加わる負荷量を検出する負荷量検出手段で、本実施の形態では、圧縮駆動モータ56に流れる電流の増減を検出して圧縮駆動モータ56に加わる負荷量を検出するようにしている。   Reference numeral 52 denotes a control means composed of a microcomputer or the like, which outputs a signal to the drive means 54 for driving the electric blower 2 based on the operation information input from the driving operation unit 8 by the user, as well as operation information and energization. This is a control means for outputting a signal to the compression drive means 55 for driving the compression means based on the detection information of the detection means 51. The compression drive means 55 includes a compression drive motor 56 that drives the gear E56 to rotate, and receives a signal from the control means 52 to drive the compression means. Reference numeral 53 denotes a load amount detecting means for detecting a load amount applied to the compression drive motor 56. In this embodiment, the load amount detection means 53 detects an increase or decrease in the current flowing through the compression drive motor 56 to detect the load amount applied to the compression drive motor 56. I am doing so.

また、57は圧縮手段が集塵容器内でどれだけ移動したかを検出する圧縮量検出手段で、本実施の形態では、ギヤE38の軸に取り付けられたマグネットの磁力をホールICなどで構成された検出回路で検知することで、回転数に同期した信号を得られるようにしている。58は、圧縮量検出手段57の検出した信号から集塵容器内の塵埃量を判断する集塵量判断手段で、集塵容器内の塵埃が溜まるほど、圧縮板30が移動できる距離が短くなることから、その塵埃量を判断するようにしている。59は、集塵量判断手段58の判断した集塵量に基づき、使用者に集塵量を報知する集塵量報知手段で、本実施の形態ではLEDなどで構成された表示回路としている。   Reference numeral 57 denotes a compression amount detecting means for detecting how much the compressing means has moved in the dust collecting container. In this embodiment, the magnetic force of the magnet attached to the shaft of the gear E38 is constituted by a Hall IC or the like. By detecting with the detection circuit, a signal synchronized with the rotation speed can be obtained. 58 is a dust collection amount judgment means for judging the amount of dust in the dust collection container from the signal detected by the compression amount detection means 57. The more the dust in the dust collection container is accumulated, the shorter the distance that the compression plate 30 can move is. Therefore, the amount of dust is judged. 59 is a dust collection amount notifying means for notifying the user of the dust collection amount based on the dust collection amount judged by the dust collection amount judging means 58, and is a display circuit composed of LEDs or the like in this embodiment.

除塵駆動手段60は、ギヤG49を回駆動する除塵駆動モータ61などから構成され、制御手段52からの信号を受けて、除塵手段を駆動している。62は、集塵容器4が、集塵容器収納部5に収納されていることを検知する、例えばマイクロスイッチなどで構成された集塵容器検出手段である。63は、特に集塵量が所定以上に溜まっている場合に使用者に捨ててもらうことを促すための、例えばブザーなどで構成された満杯報知手段である。   The dust removal driving means 60 is composed of a dust removal drive motor 61 that drives the gear G49 to rotate, and receives a signal from the control means 52 to drive the dust removal means. Reference numeral 62 denotes dust collection container detection means configured to detect that the dust collection container 4 is stored in the dust collection container storage unit 5, for example, a micro switch. Reference numeral 63 denotes a full notification means constituted by, for example, a buzzer for prompting the user to throw away the dust when the amount of collected dust is more than a predetermined value.

上記のように構成された本実施の形態における電気掃除機の動作、作用は以下の通りである。   The operation and action of the vacuum cleaner in the present embodiment configured as described above are as follows.

電気掃除機の使用開始に当たり、使用者が、掃除機本体1の電源プラグ(図示せず)を室内の壁に設けたコンセントに差すと、通電検知手段51が、掃除機本体1に通電されたことを検知し、制御手段52に信号を送る。制御手段52は、圧縮駆動手段55に信号を送って、ギヤE38を回転駆動する圧縮駆動モータ56を駆動するとともに、除塵駆動手段60に信号を送り、ギヤG49を回転駆動する除塵駆動モータ61を駆動する。そして、ギヤE38が回転することによって、圧縮駆動モータ56の回転動力が、駆動軸33に取り付けられたギヤD37を介して、ラックギヤ31aに伝達され、圧縮板30が下降して塵埃を圧縮すると同時に、除塵駆動モータ61の回転動力が、駆動軸B47に取り付けられたギヤC36を介して、ギヤA34に伝達され、弾き体44が左右に往復移動して、二次フィルター43の山折り部を弾いて、二次フィルター43の裏面に付着した細塵をふるい落とす動作が、あらかじめ設定した時間内で行なわれる。   When the user starts using the vacuum cleaner, when the user plugs the power plug (not shown) of the vacuum cleaner main body 1 into an outlet provided on the wall of the room, the energization detecting means 51 is energized in the vacuum cleaner main body 1. This is detected and a signal is sent to the control means 52. The control means 52 sends a signal to the compression drive means 55 to drive the compression drive motor 56 that rotationally drives the gear E38, and sends a signal to the dust removal drive means 60 to drive the dust removal drive motor 61 that rotationally drives the gear G49. To drive. When the gear E38 rotates, the rotational power of the compression drive motor 56 is transmitted to the rack gear 31a via the gear D37 attached to the drive shaft 33, and the compression plate 30 descends to compress dust. The rotational power of the dust removal drive motor 61 is transmitted to the gear A34 via the gear C36 attached to the drive shaft B47, and the flip body 44 reciprocates left and right to flip the mountain fold portion of the secondary filter 43. Thus, the operation of sieving the fine dust adhering to the back surface of the secondary filter 43 is performed within a preset time.

そして、前記圧縮板30が、粗塵室18内に堆積された塵埃を圧縮しながら、下降していくと、次第に、圧縮駆動モータ56に加わる負担が増加し、それに伴い、圧縮駆動モータ56に流れる電流が次第に増加し、負荷量検出手段53が検出する負荷量が所定の負荷量を超えると、駆動圧縮手段55が、粗塵室18内の塵埃が十分圧縮されたと判断し、圧縮駆動モータ56を逆転させて、圧縮板30を最初の上死点まで後退させて、停止する。この一連の動作は、あらかじめ設定した回数内で行われる。   When the compression plate 30 is lowered while compressing the dust accumulated in the coarse dust chamber 18, the load applied to the compression drive motor 56 gradually increases. When the flowing current gradually increases and the load amount detected by the load amount detection unit 53 exceeds a predetermined load amount, the drive compression unit 55 determines that the dust in the coarse dust chamber 18 is sufficiently compressed, and the compression drive motor 56 is reversed, and the compression plate 30 is retracted to the first top dead center and stopped. This series of operations is performed within a preset number of times.

このとき、圧縮を終了して逆転を開始してから上死点で停止するまでの圧縮板30の移動距離は、集塵容器内に溜まった集塵量が増加するほど減少するため、集塵量と一次的な関係にあると考えることができる。ギヤE38の回転に合わせたマグネットのON/OFFをホールICで検知してパルス信号とすることで、圧縮移動量検知手段57は、そのパルス数から圧縮板30の移動距離を検知し、集塵量判断手段58は、その検知した移動距離から判断した集塵量を集塵量報知手段59によって使用者に報知する。ギヤE38の回転から移動距離を検出することによって、集塵容器4内と電気信号をやり取りする必要がなくなり、耐久性や取り扱いやすさの点からも使い勝手が良くなる。   At this time, the distance traveled by the compression plate 30 from the end of compression to the start of reverse rotation to the stop at the top dead center decreases as the amount of dust collected in the dust collection container increases. It can be considered to have a linear relationship with quantity. By detecting the ON / OFF of the magnet in accordance with the rotation of the gear E38 with a Hall IC and generating a pulse signal, the compression movement amount detecting means 57 detects the movement distance of the compression plate 30 from the number of pulses, and collects dust. The amount determination unit 58 notifies the user of the dust collection amount determined from the detected moving distance by the dust collection amount notification unit 59. By detecting the movement distance from the rotation of the gear E38, it is not necessary to exchange electric signals with the inside of the dust collecting container 4, and the usability is improved from the viewpoint of durability and ease of handling.

特に、その集塵量が所定量を越えていた場合には、満杯報知手段63によって、使用者に注意喚起し、満杯状態での運転を防ぐことによって、吸引力が低い状態での掃除を避け、電動送風機2の負担を減らすことができる。この満杯報知については圧縮動作直後に報知するだけでなく、次の運転指示を行なったときにも再度報知するようにすれば、より確実に使用者に満杯状態であることを報知することができ、掃除機への負担を減らすことができる。   In particular, when the dust collection amount exceeds a predetermined amount, the full notification means 63 alerts the user and prevents the operation in a full state, thereby avoiding cleaning in a low suction state. The burden on the electric blower 2 can be reduced. This full notification can be notified not only immediately after the compression operation but also when the next driving instruction is given, so that the user can be more surely notified that the vehicle is full. , Can reduce the burden on the vacuum cleaner.

また、圧縮動作を複数回行って圧縮効果を高めたり、少なくとも1回以上行った後で、再度圧縮動作をさせてときに集塵量の判断を行うようにすることで、圧縮移動量検知手段57の検出精度を向上することもできる。   In addition, the compression movement amount detecting means can be made by performing the compression operation a plurality of times to enhance the compression effect, or by performing the compression operation again after performing the compression operation at least once, and determining the dust collection amount. The detection accuracy of 57 can also be improved.

次に、運転操作部8を操作して、電気掃除機の運転を開始すると、制御手段52は駆動手段54に信号を送り、電動送風機2を運転させる。この電動送風機2による吸引力が、二次フィルター43、一次フィルターA28および一次フィルターB29、粗塵室18、ホース6、延長管10を経て床用吸込具11に至る。そして、床用吸込具11から吸引された塵埃を含んだ空気が、掃除機本体1の吸気口7を通って集塵容器本体15の吸入口17から真っ直ぐ粗塵室18に入り、一次フィルターA28及び一次フィルターB29に当たりそこで塵埃が捕集され、堆積していく。一次フィルターA28および一次フィルターB29を通過した空気に含まれる微細塵は、二次フィルター43で捕捉される。   Next, when the operation unit 8 is operated to start the operation of the vacuum cleaner, the control unit 52 sends a signal to the drive unit 54 to operate the electric blower 2. The suction force by the electric blower 2 reaches the floor suction tool 11 through the secondary filter 43, the primary filter A 28 and the primary filter B 29, the coarse dust chamber 18, the hose 6, and the extension pipe 10. Then, the air containing dust sucked from the floor suction tool 11 passes through the suction port 7 of the cleaner body 1 and enters the coarse dust chamber 18 straight from the suction port 17 of the dust collecting container body 15, and the primary filter A 28. Then, it hits the primary filter B29, where dust is collected and accumulated. Fine dust contained in the air that has passed through the primary filter A 28 and the primary filter B 29 is captured by the secondary filter 43.

本実施の形態では、さらに、運転操作部8を操作して、電気掃除機の運転を停止すると、それを制御手段52が検知して、運転開始時の塵埃の圧縮動作と二次フィルター43の弾き体44による細塵のふるい落とし動作と同じ動作を、あらかじめ設定した時間内もしくは回数内で行うようにしている。このとき、まず、除塵駆動手段60によるニ次フィルター43に除塵動作を先に行い、細塵のふるい落としを済ませてから圧縮動作を行うことで、細塵室19から粗塵室18に向かっての細塵の舞い上がりを低減し、一次フィルターA28及び一次フィルターB29への目詰まりも抑制することができ、かつ塵埃として圧縮によりまとめることができる。   In the present embodiment, when the operation unit 8 is further operated to stop the operation of the vacuum cleaner, the control means 52 detects this, and the dust compressing operation and the secondary filter 43 at the start of the operation are detected. The same operation as the fine dust sieving operation by the flip body 44 is performed within a preset time or number of times. At this time, first, dust removal operation is first performed on the secondary filter 43 by the dust removal driving means 60, and after the fine dust is screened out, the compression operation is performed to move the dust filter 19 from the fine dust chamber 19 toward the coarse dust chamber 18. The rise of fine dust can be reduced, clogging of the primary filter A28 and the primary filter B29 can be suppressed, and dust can be collected by compression.

次に、集塵容器4内に圧縮されて堆積した塵埃の廃棄について説明する。   Next, disposal of dust that has been compressed and accumulated in the dust container 4 will be described.

集塵容器4を集塵容器収納部5から取り外す時は、容器ハンドル12を握って集塵容器4を上方に持上げるだけで良い。そして、集塵容器4をごみ箱などの上に持っていって、容器操作部23を押すと、連結棒C46が下がって、尾錠22が外方に移動して、蓋体20と尾錠22との係止が解除され、蓋体20がコイルバネ21の付勢力で開成し、集塵容器4内の圧縮された塵埃がごみ箱内に落下する。このとき、集塵容器検知手段62は、集塵容器4が集塵容器収納部から取り出されたことを検出して集塵量判断手段58へ信号を送る。集塵量判断手段58はこれを受けて、集塵量報知手段59および/または満杯報知手段63で報知している内容を一旦抹消する。そして、再度集塵容器4が集塵容器収納部に取り付けられたことを集塵容器検知手段62によって検知した時点で、再度圧縮動作を行って、集塵量を再判断することで、適宜集塵量の報知を行う。   When removing the dust collection container 4 from the dust collection container storage part 5, it is only necessary to hold the container handle 12 and lift the dust collection container 4 upward. When the dust collecting container 4 is held on a trash box or the like and the container operation unit 23 is pushed, the connecting rod C46 is lowered, the buckle 22 is moved outward, and the lid 20 and the buckle 22 are moved. The locking is released, the lid 20 is opened by the urging force of the coil spring 21, and the compressed dust in the dust collecting container 4 falls into the trash box. At this time, the dust collection container detection means 62 detects that the dust collection container 4 has been taken out from the dust collection container storage and sends a signal to the dust collection amount judgment means 58. In response to this, the dust collection amount judgment means 58 once erases the contents notified by the dust collection amount notification means 59 and / or the full notification means 63. Then, when the dust collection container detecting means 62 detects that the dust collection container 4 is attached to the dust collection container storage section again, the compression operation is performed again, and the dust collection amount is re-determined, so that the dust collection amount is appropriately collected. Notify the dust amount.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、圧縮板30で塵埃を圧縮しているときに、負荷量検知手段53が所定の負荷量を検知すると、圧縮板30を後退させるようにしており、また、圧縮板30の移動量から圧縮量検出手段57と集塵量判断手段58により集塵容器内の塵埃量を検出しているので、集塵容器4内の塵埃の多少にかかわらず常に一定の力で塵埃を圧縮でき、塵埃の圧縮が不十分になったり、圧縮の際の力が強すぎて、集塵容器4が破損したり変形することも無く、また、クラッチ機構のような機械的な解除機構を使用していないので、耐久性に優れ且つ、精度の高い集塵量の判断及び報知を行うことができる電気掃除機を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the load amount detecting means 53 detects a predetermined load amount when dust is compressed by the compression plate 30, the compression plate 30 is moved backward. Further, since the amount of dust in the dust collection container is detected from the amount of movement of the compression plate 30 by the compression amount detection means 57 and the dust collection amount judgment means 58, it is always regardless of the amount of dust in the dust collection container 4. Dust can be compressed with a constant force, the dust compression becomes insufficient, the compression force is too strong, and the dust collecting container 4 is not damaged or deformed. Since no mechanical release mechanism is used, it is possible to provide an electric vacuum cleaner that is excellent in durability and can accurately determine and notify the dust collection amount.

また、圧縮駆動モータ56、除塵駆動モータ61は集塵容器収納部5の一部に設けたので、集塵容器4を軽量、コンパクトに形成できるようになり、集塵容器4の持ち運び、取り扱いが極めて容易になる。   Further, since the compression drive motor 56 and the dust removal drive motor 61 are provided in a part of the dust collection container housing 5, the dust collection container 4 can be formed in a lightweight and compact manner, and the dust collection container 4 can be carried and handled. It becomes extremely easy.

また、圧縮動作を少なくとも1回以上行った後で、再度圧縮動作をさせてときに集塵量の判断を行うようにすれば、圧縮量検出手段57の検出精度を向上できる。   If the dust collection amount is determined when the compression operation is performed again after performing the compression operation at least once, the detection accuracy of the compression amount detection means 57 can be improved.

さらに、二次フィルター43を除塵する弾き体44を設けたので、適宜二次フィルター49の濾過性能を復活させることができ、掃除運転の終了後は、まず、除塵動作を先に行ってから圧縮動作をするようにすれば、細塵の舞い上がりを抑制し、塵埃としてまとめることができる。   Furthermore, since the flip body 44 for removing dust from the secondary filter 43 is provided, the filtration performance of the secondary filter 49 can be restored as appropriate. After the cleaning operation is completed, the dust removal operation is first performed and then the compression is performed. If the operation is performed, the rising of fine dust can be suppressed and collected as dust.

また、集塵容器検出手段62により集塵容器4の取り出しによる集塵量報知手段59および/または満杯報知手段63の報知内容を一旦抹消し、再度の取り付けを検知して集塵量の再判断をすれば、報知精度の高いより使い勝手の良い電気掃除機を提供できる。   In addition, the dust collection container detection means 62 once erases the notification contents of the dust collection amount notification means 59 and / or the full notification means 63 due to the removal of the dust collection container 4, and detects reattachment to re-determine the dust collection amount. By doing so, it is possible to provide a more convenient vacuum cleaner with higher notification accuracy.

また上記実施の形態では、駆動圧縮モータ56と除塵駆動モータ61の2個の駆動モータで圧縮動作と除塵動作を行うようにしたが、1個の圧縮駆動モータ56で、圧縮板30と、弾き体44の両方を駆動するようにしてもよい。駆動軸33にギヤC36を連結させ圧縮板30を駆動する圧縮モータ56で、弾き体44も駆動するようにしてもよい。そのようにすれば部品点数を減らし、より軽量化した構成を実現することができる。   In the above embodiment, the compression operation and the dust removal operation are performed by the two drive motors of the drive compression motor 56 and the dust removal drive motor 61. However, the compression plate 30 and the flipping plate are driven by the single compression drive motor 56. Both of the bodies 44 may be driven. The flip body 44 may also be driven by a compression motor 56 that drives the compression plate 30 by connecting the gear C36 to the drive shaft 33. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and realize a lighter configuration.

また、圧縮板30の移動距離の検出方法としては、本実施の形態では、ホールICを用いた手段としたが、ポジションセンサやフォトセンサなどを用いても良い。また、圧縮駆動手段55の負荷量と駆動時間から判断する方法も考えられるのはいうまでもない。   Further, as a method for detecting the moving distance of the compression plate 30, in the present embodiment, the means using the Hall IC is used, but a position sensor, a photo sensor, or the like may be used. Needless to say, a method of judging from the load amount and driving time of the compression driving means 55 is also conceivable.

以上のように、本発明にかかる電気掃除機は、常に安定した圧縮力で塵埃を圧縮することが出来、耐久性に優れ且つ、精度の高い集塵量報知を行える、使用勝手の良いもので、家庭用、業務用、店舗用の各種電気掃除機に適用できる。   As described above, the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention can compress dust with a stable compressive force at all times, has excellent durability, and can perform highly accurate dust collection amount notification. It can be applied to various vacuum cleaners for home use, business use, and store use.
