ここで、載置部17は、図3(a)に示すように、集塵部4のカップ部46の底部そのものでもよいし、図3(b)ないし図3(d)に示すように、集塵部4のカップ部46の底部から突出する凸部でもよい。載置部17は、図3(b)に示すように、互いに離れた複数の柱状に形成されていてもよいし、図3(c)に示すように、連続又は断続する円弧状や直線状等のリブ状に形成されていてもよいし、図3(d)に示すように、柱状のものとリブ状のものとを備えて形成されていてもよい。図3(a)に示すように、載置部17が集塵部4のカップ部46の底部そのものである場合、カップ部46の底面全体が載置面171となる。また、図3(b)ないし図3(d)に示すように、載置部17が集塵部4のカップ部46の底部に形成された凸部である場合、載置面171は載置部17の先端部となる。なお、載置部17の先端部が点状又は線状に形成されている場合には、その点又は線を含む面を載置面171と定義するものとする。 Here, the mounting portion 17 may be the bottom portion of the cup portion 46 of the dust collecting portion 4 itself as shown in FIG. 3 (a), or may be the bottom portion itself as shown in FIGS. 3 (b) to 3 (d). It may be a convex portion protruding from the bottom of the cup portion 46 of the dust collecting portion 4. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the mounting portion 17 may be formed in a plurality of columns separated from each other, or as shown in FIG. 3 (c), a continuous or intermittent arc or linear shape.

In the present embodiment, at least a part of the battery 6 is arranged at a position opposite to the central axis 54 of the electric blower 5 with reference to the central axis of the dust collecting unit 4. Further, the battery 6 and the electric blower 5 are arranged at positions where they overlap each other in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the dust collecting portion 4. That is, the battery 6 and the electric blower 5 overlap each other within a predetermined range when viewed in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the dust collector 4. In the present embodiment, the battery 6 and the electric blower 5 are arranged at positions where they overlap each other in the third direction. The third direction is the vertical direction shown in FIG. Further, the battery 6 and the electric blower 5 are arranged at positions where they overlap with the grip portion 14 in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the dust collecting portion 4. In the present embodiment, the grip portion 14, the electric blower 5, and the battery 6 are arranged side by side toward the other side in the third direction.

また、電池6は、少なくとも一部が仮想面Pの直交方向の投影PR又は集塵部4の軸方向の投影内に配置されている。電池6は、風路部122の外壁と隣り合って、又は、風路部122の外壁に近接して配置されている。本実施形態では、電池6は、集塵部4の中心軸又は線Lに対し離れて位置している。図示される例では、電池6は、集塵部4の中心軸又は線Lに対し第三方向の他方側に離れて位置している。 Further, at least a part of the battery 6 is arranged in the projection PR in the orthogonal direction of the virtual surface P or the projection in the axial direction of the dust collecting unit 4. The battery 6 is arranged adjacent to the outer wall of the air passage portion 122 or close to the outer wall of the air passage portion 122. In the present embodiment, the battery 6 is located away from the central axis of the dust collector 4 or the line L. In the illustrated example, the battery 6 is located away from the central axis of the dust collector 4 or the other side in the third direction with respect to the line L.

電池6は、長手方向を第一方向に沿わせて配置されている。つまり、電池6の長手方向は、集塵部4の軸方向と平行となっている。 The battery 6 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction is along the first direction. That is, the longitudinal direction of the battery 6 is parallel to the axial direction of the dust collecting portion 4.

本実施形態において、電池6は、集塵部4及び電動送風機5よりも重量が大きい重量物である。電池6は、複数のセルが電気的に直列に接続されて構成された電池パックである。電池6は、充電可能な二次電池が好適に用いられる。主として電池6、集塵部4及び電動送風機5により、図1に示す電気掃除機VCの重心Gの位置が規定される。 In the present embodiment, the battery 6 is a heavy object that is heavier than the dust collector 4 and the electric blower 5. The battery 6 is a battery pack composed of a plurality of cells electrically connected in series. As the battery 6, a rechargeable secondary battery is preferably used. The position of the center of gravity G of the vacuum cleaner VC shown in FIG. 1 is defined mainly by the battery 6, the dust collector 4, and the electric blower 5.

図7に示すように、掃除機本体1には、制御手段7が収容されている。制御手段7は、任意の位置に配置されてよいが、本実施形態では、電動送風機5に対し、集塵部4とは反対側に配置されている。つまり、制御手段7は、電動送風機5に対し、第一方向の他方側に配置されている。制御手段7は、電動送風機5から本体排気口への排気風により冷却される位置に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the vacuum cleaner main body 1 includes a control means 7. The control means 7 may be arranged at an arbitrary position, but in the present embodiment, the control means 7 is arranged on the side opposite to the dust collecting unit 4 with respect to the electric blower 5. That is, the control means 7 is arranged on the other side of the first direction with respect to the electric blower 5. The control means 7 is arranged at a position where it is cooled by the exhaust air from the electric blower 5 to the exhaust port of the main body.

次に、一実施形態の動作を説明する。 Next, the operation of one embodiment will be described.

図7に示すように集塵部4を掃除機本体1に取り付けると、本体吸込口101が集塵部4の吸込側に連通し、電動送風機5の吸込側が集塵部4の排気側に連通することで、本体吸込口101から集塵部4、電動送風機5、本体排気口に至る風路が形成される。 When the dust collecting unit 4 is attached to the vacuum cleaner main body 1 as shown in FIG. 7, the main body suction port 101 communicates with the suction side of the dust collecting unit 4, and the suction side of the electric blower 5 communicates with the exhaust side of the dust collecting unit 4. By doing so, an air passage from the main body suction port 101 to the dust collector 4, the electric blower 5, and the main body exhaust port is formed.

本実施形態では、集塵部4を掃除機本体1に取り付けると、集塵部4の導入口43が掃除機本体1の接続開口部103に接続されて集塵部4の吸込側が吸込風路102と連通され、集塵部4の排気口44が掃除機本体1の接続口121に接続されて集塵部4の排気側が風路部122と連通される。 In the present embodiment, when the dust collector 4 is attached to the vacuum cleaner main body 1, the introduction port 43 of the dust collector 4 is connected to the connection opening 103 of the vacuum cleaner main body 1, and the suction side of the dust collector 4 is a suction air passage. It is communicated with 102, the exhaust port 44 of the dust collecting unit 4 is connected to the connection port 121 of the vacuum cleaner main body 1, and the exhaust side of the dust collecting unit 4 is communicated with the air passage portion 122.

使用者が把持部14を把持し、設定手段8を操作すると、設定手段8の操作に応じて制御手段7が電動送風機5を動作させる。電動送風機5の動作により生じた負圧が本体吸込口101を介して作用することで被掃除面から含塵空気を集塵部4に吸い込む。 When the user grips the grip portion 14 and operates the setting means 8, the control means 7 operates the electric blower 5 in response to the operation of the setting means 8. The negative pressure generated by the operation of the electric blower 5 acts through the main body suction port 101 to suck the dust-containing air from the surface to be cleaned into the dust collecting unit 4.

図8に示すように、下方の被掃除面を掃除する場合、把持部14を把持した使用者から見て、第一方向の一方側が前側下方、他方側が後側上方、第二方向の一方側が左側、他方側が右側、第三方向の一方側が前側上方、他方側が後側下方となる。使用者は、把持部14によって電気掃除機VCを前後に移動させながら、吸込口体3、又は、延長管2によって被掃除面の塵埃を集塵部4へと吸い込ませる。 As shown in FIG. 8, when cleaning the lower surface to be cleaned, one side in the first direction is the lower front side, the other side is the upper rear side, and one side in the second direction is viewed from the user who grips the grip portion 14. The left side, the other side is the right side, one side in the third direction is the front side upper side, and the other side is the rear side lower side. The user sucks the dust on the surface to be cleaned into the dust collecting portion 4 by the suction port body 3 or the extension pipe 2 while moving the vacuum cleaner VC back and forth by the grip portion 14.

集塵部4で塵埃が分離捕集された空気は、図7に示す電動送風機5に吸い込まれ、本体排気口から排気風として排出される。電動送風機5の排気にしたがい、電池6の熱が電池6の全体から吸引されて本体排気口から掃除機本体1の外部に排気風とともに排出され、電池6が冷却される。 The air in which the dust is separated and collected by the dust collecting unit 4 is sucked into the electric blower 5 shown in FIG. 7 and discharged as exhaust air from the exhaust port of the main body. According to the exhaust of the electric blower 5, the heat of the battery 6 is sucked from the entire battery 6 and discharged from the exhaust port of the main body to the outside of the vacuum cleaner main body 1 together with the exhaust air to cool the battery 6.

掃除を一旦中断する場合や、掃除が終了した場合には、図1及び図4に示すように、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に載置することができる。すなわち、電気掃除機VCは、第一方向の一方側、つまり延長管2の先端側を下方、他方側、つまり掃除機本体1側を上方とし、載置部17の載置面171を被載置部9の被載置面91に重ねて直立するように置くことができる。本実施形態では、載置部17の載置面171を含む所定の仮想面Pに対し直交する線Lが被載置面91と直交又は略直交し、鉛直上下方向に沿う。 When the cleaning is temporarily interrupted or when the cleaning is completed, the vacuum cleaner VC can be placed on the mounting portion 9 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. That is, in the vacuum cleaner VC, one side in the first direction, that is, the tip side of the extension pipe 2 is downward, and the other side, that is, the vacuum cleaner main body 1 side is upward, and the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 is mounted. It can be placed upright on the mounting surface 91 of the placement portion 9. In the present embodiment, the line L orthogonal to the predetermined virtual surface P including the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 is orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface 91 and follows the vertical vertical direction.

この線Lと延長管2とが交差しているため、仮想面Pと直交する方向、つまり線Lに沿う方向に見て、延長管2やその先端の吸込口体3が載置部17の載置面171の背面側に重なることとなる。そのため、延長管2の先端側及び吸込口体3が、線Lと交差する位置、つまり被載置部9の下方に入り込む位置となって空間部Sに位置し、図5に示すように、電気掃除機VCは、被載置部9の上方から見たときに、延長管2及び吸込口体3の一部が掃除機本体1と重なる状態となる。 Since this line L and the extension pipe 2 intersect, the extension pipe 2 and the suction port 3 at the tip thereof are placed on the mounting portion 17 when viewed in the direction orthogonal to the virtual surface P, that is, in the direction along the line L. It will overlap the back side of the mounting surface 171. Therefore, the tip end side of the extension pipe 2 and the suction port body 3 are located in the space portion S at a position where they intersect the line L, that is, a position where they enter below the mounting portion 9, and as shown in FIG. When viewed from above the mounting portion 9, the electric vacuum cleaner VC is in a state in which a part of the extension pipe 2 and the suction port body 3 overlaps with the vacuum cleaner main body 1.

すなわち、本実施形態によれば、電気掃除機VCを線Lに沿う方向、ここでは上下方向に見た状態での投影面積を小さくでき、配置スペースを抑制できてコンパクトに収納できる。 That is, according to the present embodiment, the projected area when the vacuum cleaner VC is viewed along the line L, here in the vertical direction, can be reduced, the arrangement space can be suppressed, and the vacuum cleaner VC can be stored compactly.

また、電気掃除機VCを載置部17の載置面171で被載置部9に載置した状態で、吸込口体3が被載置部9を有する机や台の外方に突出しないため、使用者等が吸込口体3を脚等に引っ掛けにくく、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に安定的に載置しておくことが可能になる。 Further, in a state where the vacuum cleaner VC is mounted on the mounting portion 9 on the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17, the suction port body 3 does not protrude to the outside of the desk or table having the mounting portion 9. Therefore, it is difficult for the user or the like to hook the suction port body 3 on the legs or the like, and the vacuum cleaner VC can be stably mounted on the mounting portion 9.

さらに、載置部17の載置面171を所定高さ以上にある被載置部9の被載置面91の縁部近傍に載置すると、被載置部9の側面部である交差面92に対し壁面部16が接触可能となる。したがって、載置面171と壁面部16とによって、互いに交差する二方向から被載置部9を挟むように電気掃除機VCを支持するので、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に安定的に載置可能となり、載置部17を被載置部9に載置した状態で被載置部9の側方から押されたとき等でも電気掃除機VCが転倒しにくい。 Further, when the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 is placed near the edge of the mounting surface 91 of the mounting portion 9 having a predetermined height or higher, the intersection surface which is the side surface portion of the mounting portion 9 is placed. The wall surface 16 can come into contact with the 92. Therefore, since the vacuum cleaner VC is supported by the mounting surface 171 and the wall surface portion 16 so as to sandwich the mounting portion 9 from two directions intersecting each other, the vacuum cleaner VC is stable on the mounting portion 9. The vacuum cleaner VC is unlikely to tip over even when the mounting portion 17 is mounted on the mounting portion 9 and pushed from the side of the mounting portion 9.

また、仮想面Pの直交方向の投影PR内に延長管2及び電気掃除機VCの重心Gが位置するため、仮想面Pに含まれる載置部17の載置面171を被載置部9の水平状の被載置面91に重ねて載置したときに、被載置部9の被載置面91上にある仮想面Pの下方の投影PR内に延長管2の一部が位置し、仮想面Pの上方の投影PR内に重心Gが位置するので、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に安定的に載置可能となる。 Further, since the extension tube 2 and the center of gravity G of the vacuum cleaner VC are located in the projection PR in the direction orthogonal to the virtual surface P, the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 included in the virtual surface P is placed on the mounting portion 9. A part of the extension tube 2 is located in the projected PR below the virtual surface P on the mounting surface 91 of the mounting portion 9 when it is mounted on the horizontal mounting surface 91 of the above. However, since the center of gravity G is located in the projected PR above the virtual surface P, the vacuum cleaner VC can be stably mounted on the mounting portion 9.

さらに、仮想面Pの軸線である線Lの延長上に電気掃除機VCの重心G及び延長管2の少なくとも一部が位置するため、仮想面Pに含まれる載置部17の載置面171を被載置部9の水平状の被載置面91に重ねて載置したときに、被載置部9の被載置面91上にある仮想面Pの軸線の直下に延長管2の一部が位置し、仮想面Pの軸線の直上に重心Gが位置するので、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に最も安定した姿勢で載置可能となる。 Further, since at least a part of the center of gravity G of the vacuum cleaner VC and the extension pipe 2 is located on the extension of the line L which is the axis of the virtual surface P, the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 included in the virtual surface P Is placed on the horizontal mounting surface 91 of the mounting portion 9 so as to be placed directly below the axis of the virtual surface P on the mounting surface 91 of the mounting portion 9. Since a part of the vacuum cleaner VC is located and the center of gravity G is located directly above the axis of the virtual surface P, the vacuum cleaner VC can be mounted on the mounting portion 9 in the most stable posture.

また、図7に示すように、仮想面Pの投影PR内に、最重量物である電池6の少なくとも一部が位置するため、仮想面Pに含まれる載置部17の載置面171を被載置部9の被載置面91に載置することによって、電気掃除機VCを被載置部9に安定的に載置可能となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, since at least a part of the heaviest battery 6 is located in the projection PR of the virtual surface P, the mounting surface 171 of the mounting portion 17 included in the virtual surface P is provided. By mounting the vacuum cleaner VC on the mounting surface 91 of the mounting portion 9, the vacuum cleaner VC can be stably mounted on the mounting portion 9.
