Description

本発明は、被清掃面に付着した塵埃等を除去する為の回転清掃体の除塵機構と、この回転清掃体の除塵機構を備えたエアフィルター清掃装置、空気調和機、掃除機用吸込具及び電気掃除機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a dust removing mechanism of a rotary cleaning body for removing dust and the like adhering to a surface to be cleaned, an air filter cleaning device including the dust removal mechanism of the rotary cleaning body, an air conditioner, a vacuum cleaner suction tool, and It relates to a vacuum cleaner.

従来から、回転清掃体に設置される除塵体として、根元部と、凸部とから構成された凸片が複数形成され、先端が櫛歯状に形成されていると共に凸片間に谷部が形成されているものが知られている。この除塵体は、谷部の近傍に壁体が形成されており、谷部と壁体の先端とによって段差が形成される事により、塵埃が圧縮される塵埃圧縮部が形成されている(特許文献1)。   Conventionally, as a dust removing body installed on a rotary cleaning body, a plurality of convex pieces composed of a root portion and a convex portion are formed, the tip is formed in a comb-like shape, and a valley portion is formed between the convex pieces. What is formed is known. In this dust removing body, a wall body is formed in the vicinity of the valley portion, and a dust compression portion in which dust is compressed is formed by forming a step between the valley portion and the tip of the wall body (patent) Reference 1).

特許5447934号公報Japanese Patent No. 5447934

しかしながら、上記特許文献1に記載の除塵体は、凸部の長手方向が、ブラシ毛の長手方向を含む平面に対して平行な方向となっていることから、凸部の側面を使ってブラシ毛を除塵できないため、除塵効果を低下させる原因となっていた。また、ブラシ毛の先端を谷部に接触させることによって、回転ブラシに加わる抵抗が大きくなることから、回転ブラシの回転力(トルク)を大きくする必要があった。   However, in the dust removing body described in Patent Document 1, since the longitudinal direction of the convex portion is a direction parallel to a plane including the longitudinal direction of the brush bristle, Since the dust cannot be removed, the dust removal effect is reduced. In addition, since the resistance applied to the rotating brush is increased by bringing the tip of the brush hair into contact with the valley, it is necessary to increase the rotational force (torque) of the rotating brush.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するものであり、清掃体を効率よく除塵することができ、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる回転清掃体の除塵機構と、この回転清掃体の除塵機構を備えたエアフィルター清掃装置、空気調和機、掃除機用吸込具及び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, and can remove dust from the cleaning body efficiently and improve dust removal performance, and a dust removal mechanism of the rotary cleaning body. The object is to provide an air filter cleaning device, an air conditioner, a vacuum cleaner suction tool, and a vacuum cleaner.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、請求項1の発明は、被清掃面に付着した塵埃等を除去する為の回転清掃体の除塵機構において、該除塵機構は、螺旋状に形成された清掃体を備えた回転清掃体と、前記回転清掃体に付着した塵埃等を除去する除塵体とを有し、該除塵体は、前記回転清掃体に当接する複数の櫛歯により形成された除塵部と、前記櫛歯間に形成される谷部とを備え、前記除塵部は、前記回転清掃体の回転軸の長手方向に向かって傾斜していると共に、該除塵部は、前記螺旋状に形成された清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向に傾斜して前記清掃体に当接することを特徴としている。したがって、傾斜していない除塵部と比較した場合には、除塵部により多くの側面をつかって清掃体を除塵することができ、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。また、清掃体が除塵部と当接する面積が増える為、清掃体に加わる抵抗は増えるが、一方で除塵部の傾斜方向と清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向にすることで、清掃体に加わる抵抗を少なくすると共に、清掃体が除塵体から滑らかに滑り降りるため、全体として極度に大きな抵抗を加えることなく塵埃除去性能を高めることができる。   In order to solve the conventional problem, the invention of claim 1 is a dust removal mechanism of a rotary cleaning body for removing dust and the like adhering to a surface to be cleaned, wherein the dust removal mechanism is formed in a spiral shape.

And a trough formed between the comb teeth, the dust removing portion is inclined toward the longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft of the rotary cleaning body, and the dust removing portion is formed in the spiral shape. The cleaning body is inclined in the same direction as that of the spiral of the cleaning body and abuts against the cleaning body. Therefore, when compared with a dust removal unit that is not inclined, the dust can be removed from the cleaning body using more side surfaces, and the dust removal performance can be improved. In addition, since the area where the cleaning body comes into contact with the dust removal part increases, the resistance applied to the cleaning body increases, but on the other hand, by making the dust removal part in the same direction as the inclination direction of the spiral of the cleaning body, Since the applied resistance is reduced and the cleaning body smoothly slides down from the dust removing body, the dust removal performance can be enhanced without adding an extremely large resistance as a whole.

請求項2の発明は、被清掃面に付着した塵埃等を除去する為の回転清掃体の除塵機構において、該除塵機構は、螺旋状に形成された清掃体を備えた回転清掃体と、前記回転清掃体に付着した塵埃等を除去する除塵体とを有し、該除塵体は、前記回転清掃体に当接する複数の櫛歯により形成された除塵部と、前記櫛歯間に形成される谷部とを備え、前記除塵部は、前記回転清掃体の回転軸の長手方向に向かって傾斜していると共に、該除塵部は、前記螺旋状に形成された清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と逆方向に傾斜して前記清掃体に当接することを特徴としている。したがって、傾斜していない除塵部と比較した場合には、除塵部により多くの側面をつかって清掃体を除塵することができ、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。また、除塵部の傾斜方向と清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と逆方向とすることで、清掃体に加わる抵抗がさらに増えるため、塵埃除去性能をより向上させることができる。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dust removing mechanism for a rotary cleaning body for removing dust or the like adhering to a surface to be cleaned, wherein the dust removal mechanism includes a rotary cleaning body having a spirally formed cleaning body; A dust removing body for removing dust and the like adhering to the rotary cleaning body, and the dust removal body is formed between the comb teeth and a dust removal portion formed by a plurality of comb teeth contacting the rotary cleaning body. And the dust removal part is inclined toward the longitudinal direction of the rotation shaft of the rotary cleaning body, and the dust removal part is arranged in a spiral inclination direction of the spirally formed cleaning body. It is characterized by inclining in the opposite direction and contacting the cleaning body. Therefore, when compared with a dust removal unit that is not inclined, the dust can be removed from the cleaning body using more side surfaces, and the dust removal performance can be improved. In addition, since the resistance applied to the cleaning body is further increased by setting the direction of inclination of the dust removing portion and the direction of the spiral of the cleaning body to be opposite to each other, the dust removal performance can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the initial position of the dust removing mechanism 5 is a position where the opening 16b of the dust removing body 16 faces the lowermost portion of the air filter 4. This position is also a position where the dust box 17 can be pulled out through the opening 6a when the lid 9 provided on the front panel 6 is opened.

従って、クリーニングスイッチ1dがオンされて、モータ24に通電されると、回転清掃体15及びギヤ23が、モータ24側から見て、反時計方向(図6内の実線矢印)に回転するようになっている。これにより、エアフィルター4に付着した塵埃は、回転清掃体15の清掃体15bでこそぎ取られ、その塵埃は、塵埃除去本体16内に設けた除塵体28で梳られ、ダストボックス17内に落下し堆積する。また、回転清掃体15の回転と共に、ラックギヤ10に噛み合ったギヤ23も回転するので、ガイド溝19に沿って除塵機構5が上昇していく。そして、本体1の上部に設けた第1の位置検出スイッチ(図示せず)が、除塵機構5がエアフィルター4の上端に達したことを検知すると、モータ24の回転を反転、すなわち、回転清掃体15とギヤ23を逆転させる。これにより、回転清掃体15が時計方向に回転しながら、除塵機構5が下降し、本体1の下部に設けた第2の位置検出スイッチ(図示せず)が、除塵機構5がエアフィルター4の下端(初期位置)に達したことを検知すると、モータ24への通電を停止する。   Therefore, when the cleaning switch 1d is turned on and the motor 24 is energized, the rotary cleaning body 15 and the gear 23 rotate counterclockwise (solid arrow in FIG. 6) when viewed from the motor 24 side. It has become. Thereby, the dust adhering to the air filter 4 is scraped off by the cleaning body 15 b of the rotary cleaning body 15, and the dust is beaten by the dust removing body 28 provided in the dust removing body 16 and falls into the dust box 17. And deposit. Further, as the rotary cleaning body 15 rotates, the gear 23 meshed with the rack gear 10 also rotates, so that the dust removal mechanism 5 rises along the guide groove 19. When a first position detection switch (not shown) provided on the upper portion of the main body 1 detects that the dust removing mechanism 5 has reached the upper end of the air filter 4, the rotation of the motor 24 is reversed, that is, rotational cleaning. The body 15 and the gear 23 are reversed. Thereby, while the rotary cleaning body 15 rotates in the clockwise direction, the dust removal mechanism 5 is lowered, and the second position detection switch (not shown) provided at the lower part of the main body 1 is connected to the dust filter 5 by the air filter 4. When it is detected that the lower end (initial position) has been reached, the power supply to the motor 24 is stopped.

尚、本実施例では、エアフィルター4のクリーニング運転中は、送風ファン2を回転駆動するファンモータ3を運転しないようにしている。これにより、エアフィルター4上に塵埃が吸引風で吸着されて、塵埃が取れ難くなるのを防止している。   In the present embodiment, the fan motor 3 that rotationally drives the blower fan 2 is not operated during the cleaning operation of the air filter 4. Thereby, it is prevented that dust is adsorbed on the air filter 4 by suction air and it becomes difficult to remove the dust.

上記クリーニング運転を何度か繰り返すと、ダストボックス17内に塵埃が堆積してくるので、時々、前面パネル6に設けた蓋体9を手前に開けて、ダストボックス17を取り出し、溜まった塵埃を廃棄するようにする。   When the above cleaning operation is repeated several times, dust accumulates in the dust box 17, so that the lid 9 provided on the front panel 6 is sometimes opened forward, the dust box 17 is taken out, and the accumulated dust is discarded. Like that.

上述のように、本発明に係る除塵機構5は、除塵機構5によって塵埃等が除去される被清掃面を備えたエアフィルター4と、除塵機構5によって除去された塵埃等を収容するダストボックス17とを有するエアフィルター清掃装置に適用することができる。   As described above, the dust removal mechanism 5 according to the present invention includes the air filter 4 having a surface to be cleaned from which dust and the like are removed by the dust removal mechanism 5, and the dust box 17 that accommodates dust and the like removed by the dust removal mechanism 5. It can apply to the air filter cleaning device which has this.

同様にして、本発明に係る除塵機構5は、空気吸入口7から吸入した空気を空気吹出口8に導く風路を有する本体1と、本体1内に送風ファン2と、上述のエアフィルター清掃装置とを備え、このエアフィルター清掃装置でエアフィルター4に捕集された塵埃を除去するようにした空気調和機に適用することができる。   Similarly, the dust removing mechanism 5 according to the present invention includes a main body 1 having an air passage that guides air sucked from an air inlet 7 to an air outlet 8, a blower fan 2 in the main body 1, and the air filter cleaning described above. And an air conditioner that removes dust collected by the air filter 4 with the air filter cleaning device.

また、図示していないが、本発明に係る除塵機構5は、該除塵機構5を設けた掃除機用吸込具に適用することができ、さらに、電動送風機と、上述の掃除機用吸込具とを備え、電動送風機と掃除機用吸込具とを連通させた電気掃除機に適用することもできる。   Moreover, although not shown in figure, the dust removal mechanism 5 which concerns on this invention can be applied to the vacuum cleaner suction tool which provided this dust removal mechanism 5, Furthermore, an electric blower, the above-mentioned vacuum cleaner suction tool, and It can also be applied to an electric vacuum cleaner provided with an electric blower and a vacuum cleaner suction tool.

Moreover, Fig.9 (a) is a figure which shows an example of the combination of a rotation cleaning body and a dust removal body, and FIG.9 (b) is a figure which shows the other example of the combination of a rotation cleaning body and a dust removal body. In FIG. 9, for the sake of explanation, the dust removing portion 28b and the cleaning body 15b or 15c are not brought into contact with each other, but actually, as shown in FIG. 6, the dust removing portion 28b is inserted into the rotary cleaning body 15. Is arranged. The details of the dust removal mechanism of the rotary cleaning body according to the present invention will be described with reference to these drawings.

回転清掃体15は、図8に示すように、金属や樹脂などの材料からなる軸体(回転軸)15aと、軸体15aに螺旋状に形成された清掃体15bとから構成されており、清掃体(起毛布)15bは、基布26aと、基布26aに植毛されたブラシ部26bから構成されている。そして、軸体15aの長手方向には一条の接着部材27が貼り付けられており、このような状態の軸体15aの外周に、清掃体15bを螺旋状に巻き付けることにより、基布26aの裏面が、軸体15aを一周する毎に一回の接着が必ず行われるため、清掃体15bが確実に安定した状態で巻き付けられる。これにより、清掃体15bの巻き付け工程が非常に安定する。   As shown in FIG. 8, the rotary cleaning body 15 includes a shaft body (rotating shaft) 15a made of a material such as metal or resin, and a cleaning body 15b formed in a spiral shape on the shaft body 15a. The cleaning body (raised cloth) 15b includes a base cloth 26a and a brush portion 26b planted on the base cloth 26a. A strip of adhesive member 27 is affixed in the longitudinal direction of the shaft body 15a, and the cleaning body 15b is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the shaft body 15a in such a state, whereby the back surface of the base cloth 26a. However, since the bonding is always performed once every round of the shaft body 15a, the cleaning body 15b is surely wound in a stable state. Thereby, the winding process of the cleaning body 15b becomes very stable.

Moreover, FIG.10 (c) is a figure which shows the other example of the relationship between the brush hair and dust removal body in this invention, and FIG.10 (d) is another example of the relationship between the brush hair and dust removal body in this invention. FIG.

図9(a)に示すように、回転清掃体15と、回転清掃体15に付着した塵埃等を除去する除塵体28とを有しており、除塵体28は、基部28aから突出し、回転清掃体15に当接する複数の櫛歯により形成された除塵部28b、28b・・・と、櫛歯間に形成される谷部28c、28c・・・とを備え、除塵部28bは、回転清掃体15の回転軸15aの長手方向に向かって傾斜していると共に、除塵部28bは、螺旋状に形成された清掃体15bの螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向に傾斜して清掃体15bに当接させている。一方、図9(b)の回転清掃体15に形成された清掃体15cの螺旋の傾斜方向は、図9(a)の回転清掃体15に形成された清掃体15aの傾斜方向と逆方向となるように形成されており、除塵部28bに対して逆方向に傾斜して当接させている。 As shown to Fig.9 (a), it has the rotary cleaning body 15 and the dust removal body 28 which removes the dust adhering to the rotary cleaning body 15, and the dust removal body 28 protrudes from the base 28a, and rotational cleaning is carried out. , Formed by a plurality of comb teeth that contact the body 15, and valley portions 28c, 28c,... Formed between the comb teeth, and the dust removal section 28b is a rotary cleaning body. 15 is inclined toward the longitudinal direction of the rotary shaft 15a, and the dust removing portion 28b is inclined in the same direction as the spiral direction of the spirally formed cleaning body 15b and is brought into contact with the cleaning body 15b. ing. On the other hand, the inclination direction of the spiral of the cleaning body 15c formed on the rotary cleaning body 15 in FIG. 9B is opposite to the inclination direction of the cleaning body 15a formed on the rotary cleaning body 15 in FIG. It is formed so as to be inclined and in contact with the dust removing portion 28b in the opposite direction.

図9(a)において、回転軸15aを矢印の方向に回転させると、除塵部28bの先端部および一方の側面28dが清掃体15bと当接する。そのため、傾斜していない除塵部と比較して、除塵部28bのより多くの側面をつかって清掃体15bを除塵することができるため、清掃体15bに加わる抵抗が増加し、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。また、除塵部28bを、清掃体15bの螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向に傾斜させることによって、回転清掃体15に加わる抵抗の増加を最小限に抑えることができる。この抵抗の増加を最小限に抑える原理については後述する。 In FIG. 9A, when the rotating shaft 15a is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the tip of the dust removing portion 28b and the one side surface 28d come into contact with the cleaning body 15b. Therefore, the cleaning body 15b can be removed by using more side surfaces of the dust removal portion 28b as compared with the non-inclined dust removal portion, so that the resistance applied to the cleaning body 15b is increased and the dust removal performance is improved. Can be made. Further, by increasing the dust removing portion 28b in the same direction as the spiral direction of the cleaning body 15b, an increase in resistance applied to the rotary cleaning body 15 can be minimized. The principle of minimizing this increase in resistance will be described later.

また、図9(b)において、回転軸15aを矢印の方向に回転させると、図9(a)と同様に、除塵部28bの先端部および一方の側面も清掃体15cと当接する。そのため、傾斜していない除塵部と比較して、除塵部28bのより多くの側面をつかって清掃体15cを除塵することができるため、清掃体15cに加わる抵抗が増加し、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。また、除塵部28bを清掃体15cの螺旋の傾斜方向と逆方向に傾斜させることによって、清掃体15cに加わる抵抗がさらに増加することから、塵埃除去性能をより向上させることができる。この抵抗がさらに増加する原理については後述する。   In FIG. 9B, when the rotary shaft 15a is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the tip and one side surface of the dust removing portion 28b also come into contact with the cleaning body 15c as in FIG. 9A. Therefore, compared to a non-tilted dust removing portion, the cleaning body 15c can be dusted using more side surfaces of the dust removing portion 28b, so that the resistance applied to the cleaning body 15c increases and the dust removal performance is improved. Can be made. Moreover, since the resistance applied to the cleaning body 15c is further increased by inclining the dust removing portion 28b in the direction opposite to the spiral direction of the cleaning body 15c, the dust removal performance can be further improved. The principle of further increasing this resistance will be described later.

尚、図6に示すように、除塵部28bの長手方向の中心線は、回転清掃体15の回転中心を通らないように配置している。このように回転清掃体15に除塵部28bを差し込んだ時、差し込み深さ(回転清掃体15の回転中心から除塵部28bの先端までの距離)が同じであっても、差し込み角度によって塵埃除去性能は変化する。具体的には、除塵部28bの長手方向の中心線が回転清掃体15の中心線を通るように配置すると、除塵部28bの長さは最短距離となって短くせざるをえない。一方、図6に示すように、回転中心を通らない角度で除塵部28bを配置することで、差し込み深さが同じであっても、その深さまで斜めに除塵部28bを配置できるため、除塵部28bをより長くすることができる。これにより、清掃体の一定長さに当接する除塵部の接触面が多くなるため、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the center line of the longitudinal direction of the dust removal part 28b is arrange | positioned so that the rotation center of the rotary cleaning body 15 may not be passed. Thus, when the dust removing portion 28b is inserted into the rotary cleaning body 15, even if the insertion depth (the distance from the rotation center of the rotary cleaning body 15 to the tip of the dust removal portion 28b) is the same, the dust removal performance depends on the insertion angle. Will change. Specifically, when the center line in the longitudinal direction of the dust removing portion 28b is disposed so as to pass through the center line of the rotary cleaning body 15, the length of the dust removing portion 28b has to be shortened to be the shortest distance. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, by arranging the dust removing portion 28b at an angle that does not pass through the rotation center, even if the insertion depth is the same, the dust removing portion 28b can be arranged obliquely up to that depth. 28b can be made longer. Thereby, since the contact surface of the dust removal part which contact | abuts the fixed length of a cleaning body increases, dust removal performance can be improved.

除塵体がブラシ毛にどのように作用しているか、図10(a)〜(c)を用いて説明する。先ず、図10(a)に示す従来の除塵体は、除塵部30bがブラシ毛29の長手方向を含む平面に対して平行な方向となっていることから、ブラシ毛29を除塵部30bの先端部及び谷部30cを使ってこそぐことになる。このように、従来の除塵体は除塵部30bの側面30dを使ってブラシ毛29をこそげないため、除塵効果を低下させていた。一方、本発明における図9(a)及び図9(b)の除塵体とブラシ毛の関係は、図10(b)及び図10(c)に示すように、除塵部28b、31bがブラシ毛29の長手方向を含む平面に対して傾斜し、平行な方向となっていないことから、除塵部28b、31bの側面28d、31dを使ってブラシ毛29をこそぐことができるため、塵埃除去性能を向上させることができる。   How the dust remover acts on the brush hair will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in the conventional dust removing body shown in FIG. 10A, the dust removing portion 30b is in a direction parallel to the plane including the longitudinal direction of the brush bristles 29. It will be scooped using the part and valley part 30c. Thus, since the conventional dust remover cannot brush the bristle 29 using the side surface 30d of the dust removal portion 30b, the dust removal effect is reduced. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10 (b) and 10 (c), the dust removing portions 28b and 31b are connected to the brush hair as shown in FIGS. 10 (b) and 10 (c). Since it is inclined with respect to a plane including the longitudinal direction of 29 and is not in a parallel direction, the brush hair 29 can be scraped using the side surfaces 28d and 31d of the dust removing portions 28b and 31b, so that the dust removal performance Can be improved.

また、図10(d)に示すように、ブラシ毛29aで構成される清掃体の先端が、除塵体の谷部31cに当接しないで、除塵部31bに当接するように配置する構成としてもよく、これも本発明に含まれる。このように構成することによって、清掃体が除塵体を通過するときに加わる抵抗を小さくすることができるため、モータ等の回転清掃体の駆動源に対する負荷を軽減させながら、塵埃除去性能を高めることができる。   Moreover, as shown in FIG.10 (d), it is good also as a structure arrange | positioned so that the front-end | tip of the cleaning body comprised with the bristle 29a may contact | abut to the dust removal part 31b, without contacting the trough part 31c of a dust removal body. Often, this is also included in the present invention. By configuring in this way, the resistance applied when the cleaning body passes through the dust removal body can be reduced, so that the dust removal performance is improved while reducing the load on the drive source of the rotary cleaning body such as a motor. Can do.

図11(a)は、本発明における除塵体に接触したブラシ毛の動きを示す斜視図であり、図11(b)は、同断面図である。なお、ブラシ毛29aは図10(d)のように谷部28cに当接しないよう構成されている。これらの図を用いて除塵体がブラシ毛にどのように作用しているかを、ブラシ毛1本1本の観点から説明する。   Fig.11 (a) is a perspective view which shows the motion of the bristle which contacted the dust removal body in this invention, FIG.11 (b) is the same sectional drawing. In addition, the bristle 29a is comprised so that it may not contact | abut to the trough part 28c like FIG.10 (d). The manner in which the dust remover acts on the brush hair will be described using these figures from the viewpoint of each brush hair.

図11(a)及び図11(b)に示すように、ブラシ毛29を1本で見た場合、ブラシ毛29aは、先ず、ブラシ毛29aの根元側が除塵部28bに当接する。そして、ブラシ毛29aは撓りながら除塵部28bの側面28dを滑り、谷部28c方向に近づくにつれて、ブラシ毛29の先端部が除塵部28bに当接する。最終的に、ブラシ毛29の先端部が除塵部28bに届かなくなると、ブラシ毛29は撓りが解放される共に除塵部28bを通過し、当接する前の抵抗のかからない状態に戻る。尚、このブラシ毛29の動きは清掃体15bの螺旋の傾斜方向が除塵部28bの傾斜方向と同方向である場合でも、逆方向である場合でも同様である。 As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, when the brush bristles 29 are viewed as a single piece, the brush bristles 29a first come into contact with the dust removing portion 28b at the base side of the bristles 29a. The brush bristle 29a slides on the side surface 28d of the dust removing portion 28b while bending, and the tip of the brush bristle 29 comes into contact with the dust removing portion 28b as it approaches the trough portion 28c. Eventually, when the tip of the brush bristle 29 does not reach the dust removing part 28b, the brush bristle 29 is released from bending and passes through the dust removing part 28b, and returns to a state where no resistance is applied before contact. The movement of the brush bristles 29 is the same whether the spiral inclination direction of the cleaning body 15b is the same as the inclination direction of the dust removing portion 28b or the reverse direction.

図12(a)は、本発明における除塵体に接触した清掃体の一例を示す断面図であり、図12(b)は、本発明における除塵体に接触した清掃体の他例を示す断面図である。これらの図を用いて清掃体の傾斜方向によって除塵体がブラシ毛及び清掃体にどのように作用しているかを、更に別の観点から説明する。   FIG. 12A is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a cleaning body in contact with the dust removal body in the present invention, and FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the cleaning body in contact with the dust removal body in the present invention. It is. How these dust removing bodies act on the brush hairs and the cleaning body according to the inclination direction of the cleaning body will be described from still another viewpoint with reference to these drawings.

図12(a)において、除塵部28bは螺旋状に形成された清掃体15bの螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向に傾斜している。ブラシ毛29aは回転清掃体15の回転によって、除塵部28bと当接した後、順次谷部28c方向に向かって移動することは前述のとおりである。その際、例えば清掃体15bの左下に位置するブラシ毛29bは、除塵部28bに当接した後、撓りながら谷部28c方向に移動し始めるが、右隣、右上のブラシ毛29c、29dも回転清掃体15の回転方向(矢印方向)に移動し降りてくるので、ブラシ毛29bの移動を妨げる。また、ブラシ毛29bの移動を妨げた各ブラシ毛29c、29dも谷部28c方向に向かって移動する。すると、ブラシ毛29c、29dから更にその隣接する各ブラシ毛29aと連鎖的に当接して移動を妨げることとなる。このように、除塵部28bと当接したブラシ毛29aが、その右側および右上側にある多数のブラシ毛29aによって除塵部28bへと押し付けられるため、清掃体15bには全体として抵抗がかかる。ここで、清掃体15bの右下に位置するブラシ毛29eは連鎖的に移動してくる左隣のブラシ毛29fと当接するが、ブラシ毛29eの右隣、右上にブラシ毛29aが存在しないため谷部28cへの移動はほとんど妨げられない。このことは、清掃体15bの右端側に位置する各ブラシ毛29aについて同様のことがいえる。そのため、除塵部28bと当接したブラシ毛29aが受ける抵抗は、清掃体15bの厚み(図12(a)ではブラシ毛29aの4列分)に応じて増大する。 In Fig.12 (a), the dust removal part 28b inclines in the same direction as the inclination direction of the spiral of the cleaning body 15b formed in the spiral. As described above, the brush bristles 29a sequentially move toward the troughs 28c after contacting the dust removing part 28b by the rotation of the rotary cleaning body 15. At that time, for example, the brush bristles 29b located at the lower left of the cleaning body 15b start to move in the direction of the valley 28c while being bent after coming into contact with the dust removing portion 28b. Since it moves in the rotation direction (arrow direction) of the rotary cleaning body 15 and comes down, the movement of the brush bristles 29b is hindered. Further, the brush hairs 29c and 29d that have prevented the movement of the brush hair 29b also move toward the valley portion 28c. Then, the brush bristles 29c and 29d are further abutted in a chain with the adjacent brush bristles 29a to prevent the movement. Thus, since the bristle 29a which contact | abutted with the dust removal part 28b is pressed against the dust removal part 28b by many brush hairs 29a in the right side and the upper right side, resistance is applied to the cleaning body 15b as a whole. Here, the brush bristles 29e located at the lower right of the cleaning body 15b abut on the brush bristles 29f adjacent to the left that move in a chain, but there is no brush bristles 29a on the right and right of the brush bristles 29e. Movement to the valley portion 28c is hardly hindered. The same can be said for each brush hair 29a located on the right end side of the cleaning body 15b. Therefore, the resistance received by the brush bristles 29a in contact with the dust removing portion 28b increases in accordance with the thickness of the cleaning body 15b (in FIG. 12A, four rows of brush bristles 29a).

一方、図12(b)では除塵部28bは螺旋状に形成された清掃体15cの螺旋の傾斜方向と逆方向に傾斜している。ブラシ毛29aが、除塵部28bと当接した後、順次谷部28c方向に向かって移動すること、及び隣接する各ブラシ毛29aが互いに連鎖的に当接し、移動を妨げるメカニズムは前述のとおりである。ここで、図12(a)と異なるのは、清掃体15cの螺旋の傾斜方向が除塵部28bと逆方向(図右上方向)に傾斜していることである。そのため、ブラシ毛29gが除塵部28bを滑りながら谷部28c方向へ移動する際、回転清掃体15の回転に伴い、順次その右側および右上側のブラシ毛29aが降りてくるので、除塵部28bを滑っているブラシ毛29aが移動するのに妨げとなる隣接するブラシ毛29aが加速度的に増え、抵抗が増加する。具体的には、図12(a)では除塵部28bと当接したブラシ毛29aの移動を妨げるのは、その右側および右上側にある3列分のブラシ毛29aだけであるが、図12(b)では右側および右上側の全てのブラシ毛29aが移動を妨げる。また、清掃体15cの右下に位置するブラシ毛29hにおいても、連鎖的に移動してくる左隣のブラシ毛29iと当接した後、右上のブラシ毛29jだけでなく、順次降りてくる加速度的に増えたブラシ毛29aと当接することとなり抵抗が増加する。このことは、清掃体15cの右端側に位置する各ブラシ毛29aについて同様のことがいえる。このように、除塵部と清掃体の傾斜を逆方向に配置することで、傾斜が同方向の場合に比べ、清掃体に掛かる抵抗を飛躍的に増加させることができる。 On the other hand, in FIG. 12B, the dust removing portion 28b is inclined in a direction opposite to the spiral direction of the spiral of the cleaning body 15c formed in a spiral shape. As described above, the brush bristles 29a sequentially move in the direction of the trough 28c after the abutment with the dust removing portion 28b and the adjacent brush bristles 29a abut against each other in a chained manner to prevent the movement. is there. Here, what is different from FIG. 12A is that the spiral inclination direction of the cleaning body 15c is inclined in the opposite direction (upper right direction in the figure) to the dust removing portion 28b. Therefore, when the brush hair 29g moves in the direction of the valley portion 28c while sliding on the dust removing portion 28b, the brush hair 29a on the right side and the upper right side sequentially descends as the rotary cleaning body 15 rotates. Adjacent brush bristles 29a that obstruct movement of the sliding bristles 29a increase at an accelerated rate, and resistance increases. Specifically, in FIG. 12 (a), only the three rows of brush hairs 29a on the right and upper right sides prevent the movement of the brush hairs 29a in contact with the dust removing portion 28b. In b), all the bristles 29a on the right and upper right sides prevent movement. In addition, the brush hair 29h located at the lower right of the cleaning body 15c also comes into contact with the brush hair 29i on the left side that moves in a chain, and then the acceleration that descends in addition to the brush hair 29j on the upper right. Therefore, the resistance increases because the brush bristles 29a are increased. The same can be said for each brush hair 29a located on the right end side of the cleaning body 15c. Thus, by arranging the inclination of the dust removing portion and the cleaning body in opposite directions, the resistance applied to the cleaning body can be dramatically increased compared to the case where the inclination is in the same direction.

従って、除塵部の傾斜方向と清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と同方向とした場合は、逆方向とした場合と比べて清掃体に加わる抵抗を少なくできると共に、清掃体が除塵体から滑らかに滑り降りるため、極度に大きな抵抗を加えることなく塵埃除去性能を高めることができる。また、除塵部の傾斜方向と清掃体の螺旋の傾斜方向と逆方向とした場合は、清掃体全体に加わる抵抗がさらに増加するため、塵埃除去性能をより向上させることができる。なお、図12(a)、(b)ではブラシ毛29aが隙間なく配置されているが、これらは模式図であり、実際のブラシではブラシ毛29a間に隙間があり、ブラシ毛29aの列が変形しながら除塵部28bに当接することとなる。しかし、このような場合であっても前述の原理によってブラシ毛29aへの抵抗を増加させることができる。 Therefore, when the direction of inclination of the dust removal portion and the direction of inclination of the spiral of the cleaning body are the same, the resistance applied to the cleaning body can be reduced as compared to the case of the reverse direction, and the cleaning body slides smoothly from the dust removal body. Therefore, the dust removal performance can be enhanced without adding an extremely large resistance. Moreover, when it is set as the direction opposite to the inclination direction of a dust removal part and the inclination direction of the spiral of a cleaning body, since the resistance added to the whole cleaning body increases further, dust removal performance can be improved more. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the brush hairs 29a are arranged without gaps, but these are schematic views. In an actual brush, there are gaps between the brush hairs 29a, and the rows of brush hairs 29a are arranged. It will abut against the dust removing portion 28b while being deformed. However, even in such a case, the resistance to the bristles 29a can be increased by the above-described principle.
