The vacuum cleaner 2 has a vacuum cleaner main body 12 which has a handle 11 and can be operated by hand, and a secondary battery 13 (storage battery, charging) which can be attached to and detached from the vacuum cleaner main body 12. It also includes a type battery and a rechargeable battery), an extension tube 15 connected to the vacuum cleaner main body 12, and a suction port body 16 connected to the extension tube 15.

なお、電気掃除機２は、二次電池１３を電源とするキャニスター型、アップライト型、またはハンディ型であっても良い。 The vacuum cleaner 2 may be a canister type, an upright type, or a handy type using the secondary battery 13 as a power source.

また、説明を容易にするために以下、図１に示すように、吸込口体１６を被掃除面に接地させ、把手１１を使用者が把持している状態を電気掃除機２の使用状態とし、この使用状態における上下方向を電気掃除機２の上下方向とする。さらに、図１に示すように、被掃除面に設置している状態における上下方向を充電装置３の上下方向とする。 Further, for ease of explanation, as shown in FIG. 1, the state in which the suction port body 16 is grounded to the surface to be cleaned and the handle 11 is held by the user is defined as the state in which the vacuum cleaner 2 is used. The vertical direction in this used state is the vertical direction of the vacuum cleaner 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical direction in the state of being installed on the surface to be cleaned is defined as the vertical direction of the charging device 3.

掃除機本体１２は、把手１１を有する本体ケース１７と、本体ケース１７に収容されて吸込負圧を生じさせる電動送風機１８と、本体ケース１７に着脱自在に設けられる塵埃分離集塵部１９と、主に電動送風機１８を制御する本体制御部２１と、二次電池１３の充電状態を報知する報知部２２と、を備えている。 The vacuum cleaner main body 12 includes a main body case 17 having a handle 11, an electric blower 18 housed in the main body case 17 to generate a suction negative pressure, and a dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 detachably provided in the main body case 17. It mainly includes a main body control unit 21 that controls the electric blower 18, and a notification unit 22 that notifies the charging state of the secondary battery 13.

掃除機本体１２は、二次電池１３が蓄える電力によって電動送風機１８を駆動させ、電動送風機１８の駆動によって発生する負圧を延長管１５に作用させる。電気掃除機２は、吸込口体１６および延長管１５を通じて床面から塵埃を含んだ空気（以下、「含塵空気」と呼ぶ。）を吸い込み、含塵空気から塵埃を分離し、分離後の塵埃を捕集し、蓄積するとともに分離後の空気を排気する。 The vacuum cleaner main body 12 drives the electric blower 18 by the electric power stored in the secondary battery 13, and causes the negative pressure generated by the drive of the electric blower 18 to act on the extension pipe 15. The vacuum cleaner 2 sucks dust-containing air (hereinafter, referred to as “dust-containing air”) from the floor surface through the suction port body 16 and the extension pipe 15, separates the dust from the dust-containing air, and after the separation. Dust is collected and accumulated, and the separated air is exhausted.

本体ケース１７は、側面視において延長管１５の延長線上に配置される円筒状の前半部１７ａと、前半部１７ａから屈曲して延長管１５の延長線から徐々に離れる後半部１７ｂと、を備えている。本体ケース１７の前半部１７ａの上方には、塵埃分離集塵部１９が設けられている。本体ケース１７の後半部１７ｂは、吸込口体１６を床上に配置した使用状態（図１）において、後方へ向かって延びている。 The main body case 17 includes a cylindrical front half portion 17a arranged on the extension line of the extension pipe 15 in a side view, and a rear portion 17b that bends from the front half portion 17a and gradually separates from the extension line of the extension pipe 15. ing. A dust separation / dust collection unit 19 is provided above the front half portion 17a of the main body case 17. The latter half 17b of the main body case 17 extends rearward in the used state (FIG. 1) in which the suction port body 16 is arranged on the floor.

本体ケース１７の正面部分には、本体接続口２３が設けられている。本体ケース１７の後部下面には、二次電池１３を着脱可能な電池装着部２５が設けられている。 A main body connection port 23 is provided on the front portion of the main body case 17. A battery mounting portion 25 to which the secondary battery 13 can be attached and detached is provided on the lower surface of the rear portion of the main body case 17.

本体接続口２３は、延長管１５を着脱可能な継手である。本体接続口２３は、本体ケース１７の円筒状の前半部１７ａから正面へ向かって突出している。本体接続口２３は、掃除機本体１２の流体的な入口であり、延長管１５と塵埃分離集塵部１９とを流体的に接続する。掃除機本体１２から延長管１５を取り外すことによって、本体接続口２３は、掃除機本体１２を単体で使用する際の吸込口としても機能する開口２３ａを有している。 The main body connection port 23 is a joint to which the extension pipe 15 can be attached and detached. The main body connection port 23 projects toward the front from the cylindrical front half portion 17a of the main body case 17. The main body connection port 23 is a fluid inlet of the vacuum cleaner main body 12, and fluidly connects the extension pipe 15 and the dust separation / dust collection unit 19. By removing the extension pipe 15 from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, the main body connection port 23 has an opening 23a that also functions as a suction port when the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is used alone.

把手１１は本体ケース１７に一体に設けられている。把手１１は、電気掃除機２で床面を掃除するために、使用者が手で把持する部分である。把手１１は、塵埃分離集塵部１９の後端部の近傍から本体ケース１７の後端部へアーチ状に架かっている。また、把手１１は、延長管１５中心線の延長線上に交差して配置されている。 The handle 11 is integrally provided with the main body case 17. The handle 11 is a portion that the user grips by hand in order to clean the floor surface with the vacuum cleaner 2. The handle 11 is arched from the vicinity of the rear end portion of the dust separation / dust collecting portion 19 to the rear end portion of the main body case 17. Further, the handles 11 are arranged so as to intersect with each other on the extension line of the extension pipe 15 center line.

把手１１の近傍には、把手１１を握った使用者が、その手指を動かせる範囲に配置される入力部２６が設けられている。 In the vicinity of the handle 11, an input unit 26 is provided so as to be arranged within a range in which the user holding the handle 11 can move his / her fingers.

入力部２６は、電動送風機１８の運転開始操作を受け付ける運転開始スイッチ２６ａと、電動送風機１８の運転停止操作を受け付ける運転停止スイッチ２６ｂと、を備えている。運転開始スイッチ２６ａおよび運転停止スイッチ２６ｂは、本体制御部２１に電気的に接続されている。電気掃除機２の使用者は、入力部２６を操作して電動送風機１８の運転モードを択一的に選択できる。運転開始スイッチ２６ａは、電動送風機１８の運転中に、運転モードの切替スイッチとしても機能している。この場合、本体制御部２１は、運転開始スイッチ２６ａから操作信号を受け取る度に運転モードを強→中→弱→強→中→弱→………の順に切り換える。なお、入力部２６は、運転開始スイッチ２６ａに代えて、強運転スイッチ（図示省略）、中運転スイッチ（図示省略）、および弱運転スイッチ（図示省略）を個別に備えていても良い。 The input unit 26 includes an operation start switch 26a that accepts the operation start operation of the electric blower 18, and an operation stop switch 26b that accepts the operation stop operation of the electric blower 18. The operation start switch 26a and the operation stop switch 26b are electrically connected to the main body control unit 21. The user of the vacuum cleaner 2 can selectively select the operation mode of the electric blower 18 by operating the input unit 26. The operation start switch 26a also functions as an operation mode changeover switch during the operation of the electric blower 18. In this case, the main body control unit 21 switches the operation mode in the order of strong → medium → weak → strong → medium → weak → ... each time the operation signal is received from the operation start switch 26a. The input unit 26 may individually include a strong operation switch (not shown), a medium operation switch (not shown), and a weak operation switch (not shown) instead of the operation start switch 26a.

塵埃分離集塵部１９は、掃除機本体１２の上面側に配置され、かつ掃除機本体１２に着脱できる。塵埃分離集塵部１９は、掃除機本体１２に流れ込む含塵空気から塵埃を分離し、捕集し、蓄積する一方で、塵埃が除去された清浄な空気を電動送風機１８へ送る。塵埃分離集塵部１９は、電気掃除機２が吸い込む、塵埃と空気との質量の差異を利用して塵埃と空気とを遠心分離する遠心分離方式であっても良いし、含塵空気から塵埃を濾し取るフィルターを有する濾過分離方式であっても良い。 The dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 is arranged on the upper surface side of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 and can be attached to and detached from the vacuum cleaner main body 12. The dust separation / dust collection unit 19 separates dust from the dust-containing air flowing into the vacuum cleaner main body 12, collects and accumulates the dust, and sends clean air from which the dust has been removed to the electric blower 18. The dust separation / dust collection unit 19 may be a centrifugal separation method in which the dust and air are centrifugally separated by utilizing the difference in mass between the dust and air sucked by the electric vacuum cleaner 2, or the dust-containing air may be separated into dust. It may be a filtration separation method having a filter for filtering out.

電動送風機１８は、塵埃分離集塵部１９から空気を吸い込んで負圧（吸込負圧）を発生させる。 The electric blower 18 sucks air from the dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 to generate a negative pressure (suction negative pressure).

本体制御部２１は、マイクロプロセッサ、およびマイクロプロセッサが実行する各種演算プログラム、パラメータなどを記憶する記憶装置を備えている。記憶装置は、予め設定される複数の運転モードに関連する種々の設定（引数）を記憶している。複数の運転モードは電動送風機１８の出力に関連付けられている。それぞれの運転モードには、相互に異なる入力値（電動送風機１８の入力値、電動送風機１８に流れる電流目標値）が設定されている。それぞれの運転モードは、入力部２６が受け付ける操作入力に関連付けられている。本体制御部２１は、入力部２６への操作入力に対応する任意の運転モードを、予め設定される複数の運転モードから択一的に選択し、選択した運転モードの設定を記憶部から読み出し、読み出した運転モードの設定にしたがって電動送風機１８を運転する。 The main body control unit 21 includes a microprocessor and a storage device that stores various arithmetic programs, parameters, and the like executed by the microprocessor. The storage device stores various settings (arguments) related to a plurality of preset operation modes. The plurality of operating modes are associated with the output of the electric blower 18. Different input values (input value of the electric blower 18 and current target value flowing through the electric blower 18) are set in each operation mode. Each operation mode is associated with an operation input received by the input unit 26. The main body control unit 21 selectively selects an arbitrary operation mode corresponding to the operation input to the input unit 26 from a plurality of preset operation modes, and reads the selected operation mode setting from the storage unit. The electric blower 18 is operated according to the read operation mode setting.

二次電池１３は、電動送風機１８や本体制御部２１で消費される電力を蓄える。二次電池１３は、本体ケース１７に着脱できる。換言すると、電気掃除機２は、複数の二次電池１３を適宜に交換して利用できる。電気掃除機２に装着されている二次電池１３の充電率が低下した場合には、この二次電池１３を、充電済みの二次電池１３に交換することによって、電気掃除機２は、運転を継続できる。 The secondary battery 13 stores the electric power consumed by the electric blower 18 and the main body control unit 21. The secondary battery 13 can be attached to and detached from the main body case 17. In other words, the vacuum cleaner 2 can be used by appropriately exchanging a plurality of secondary batteries 13. When the charge rate of the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner 2 drops, the vacuum cleaner 2 is operated by replacing the secondary battery 13 with a charged secondary battery 13. Can be continued.

報知部２２は、本体制御部２１によって制御され、二次電池１３の充電状態、例えば二次電池１３が充電中であること、二次電池１３が満充電であること、二次電池１３の充電率が所定の充電率よりも低下し、いわゆる電池切れであること、を報知する。報知部２２は、例えば、文字などの情報を表示するディスプレイ、点灯または点滅するランプやＬＥＤ（Ｌｉｇｈｔ Ｅｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ Ｄｉｏｄｅ）など電気掃除機２の使用者の視覚に訴えるもの、電気的に合成された音声やブザー音などを発する発音器など電気掃除機２の使用者の聴覚に訴えるもの、バイブレータなど電気掃除機２の使用者の触覚に訴えるもの、の少なくともいずれかである。報知部２２は、入力部２６の近傍に設けられていることが好ましい。そのように配置することによって、報知内容の認知性が高められる。 The notification unit 22 is controlled by the main body control unit 21, and the charging state of the secondary battery 13, for example, that the secondary battery 13 is being charged, that the secondary battery 13 is fully charged, and that the secondary battery 13 is charged. It notifies that the rate is lower than the predetermined charge rate and the so-called battery is dead. The notification unit 22 is, for example, a display that displays information such as characters, a lamp that lights or blinks, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), or the like that appeals to the user of the vacuum cleaner 2, an electrically synthesized voice, or the like. It is at least one that appeals to the hearing of the user of the vacuum cleaner 2 such as a sounding device that emits a buzzer sound, and one that appeals to the sense of touch of the user of the vacuum cleaner 2 such as a vibrator. The notification unit 22 is preferably provided in the vicinity of the input unit 26. By arranging in such a way, the recognition of the notification content is enhanced.

延長管１５および吸込口体１６は、電動送風機１８から作用する負圧によって、床面上の塵埃を空気とともに吸い込んで掃除機本体１２へ案内する。 The extension pipe 15 and the suction port 16 suck dust on the floor surface together with air by the negative pressure acting from the electric blower 18 and guide the dust to the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

延長管１５は、本体ケース１７の本体接続口２３および塵埃分離集塵部１９を介して電動送風機１８の吸込側に流体的に接続されている。延長管１５は、使用者が掃除機本体１２の把手１１を把持した状態で実質的に床面に届く長さを有する。延長管１５の一方の端部には、掃除機本体１２の本体接続口２３に着脱自在な継手構造が設けられている。延長管１５の他方の端部には、掃除機本体１２の吸込口体１６を着脱自在な継手構造が設けられている。延長管１５は、伸縮可能であっても良いし、そうでなくても良い。 The extension pipe 15 is fluidly connected to the suction side of the electric blower 18 via the main body connection port 23 of the main body case 17 and the dust separation / dust collection unit 19. The extension pipe 15 has a length that substantially reaches the floor surface in a state where the user holds the handle 11 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12. At one end of the extension pipe 15, a joint structure that can be attached to and detached from the main body connection port 23 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is provided. At the other end of the extension pipe 15, a joint structure is provided so that the suction port body 16 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 can be attached and detached. The extension tube 15 may or may not be stretchable.

吸込口体１６は、木床やカーペットなどの床面上を走行自在または滑走自在であり、走行状態または滑走状態において床面に対向する底面に吸込口２７を有する。また、吸込口体１６は、吸込口２７に配置される回転自在な回転清掃体２８と、回転清掃体２８を駆動させる電動機２９と、を備えている。吸込口体１６の一方の端部には、延長管１５の他方の端部に着脱自在な継手構造が設けられている。吸込口体１６は、延長管１５を介して電動送風機１８の吸込側に流体的に接続されている。吸込口体１６、延長管１５、および塵埃分離集塵部１９は、電動送風機１８から吸込口２７へ至る吸込風路である。 The suction port body 16 is movable or slidable on a floor surface such as a wooden floor or a carpet, and has a suction port 27 on a bottom surface facing the floor surface in a running state or a sliding state. Further, the suction port body 16 includes a rotatable rotary cleaning body 28 arranged at the suction port 27 and an electric motor 29 for driving the rotary cleaning body 28. One end of the suction port body 16 is provided with a detachable joint structure at the other end of the extension pipe 15. The suction port body 16 is fluidly connected to the suction side of the electric blower 18 via an extension pipe 15. The suction port body 16, the extension pipe 15, and the dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 are suction air passages from the electric blower 18 to the suction port 27.

なお、吸込口体１６は、電動機２９に代えて回転清掃体２８を駆動させる風車（図示省略）を備えていても良い。この風車は、電気掃除機２に吸い込まれる空気の流動によって回転し、回転清掃体２８を駆動させる。 The suction port body 16 may include a wind turbine (not shown) for driving the rotary cleaning body 28 instead of the electric motor 29. This wind turbine is rotated by the flow of air sucked into the vacuum cleaner 2 to drive the rotary cleaning body 28.

電気掃除機２は、運転開始スイッチ２６ａが操作されると電動送風機１８を始動させる。例えば、電気掃除機２は、電動送風機１８が停止している状態で運転開始スイッチ２６ａが操作されると、先ず電動送風機１８を強運転モードで始動させ、再び運転開始スイッチ２６ａが操作されると電動送風機１８の運転モードを中運転モードに変更し、三度、運転開始スイッチ２６ａが操作されると電動送風機１８の運転モードを弱運転モードに変更し、以下同様に繰り返す。強運転モード、中運転モード、および弱運転モードは、予め設定される複数の運転モードである。電動送風機１８に対する入力値は、強運転モードが最も大きく、弱運転モードが最も小さい。始動した電動送風機１８は、塵埃分離集塵部１９から空気を吸込み、塵埃分離集塵部１９内を負圧にする。 The vacuum cleaner 2 starts the electric blower 18 when the operation start switch 26a is operated. For example, in the vacuum cleaner 2, when the operation start switch 26a is operated while the electric blower 18 is stopped, the electric blower 18 is first started in the strong operation mode, and then the operation start switch 26a is operated again. The operation mode of the electric blower 18 is changed to the medium operation mode, and when the operation start switch 26a is operated three times, the operation mode of the electric blower 18 is changed to the weak operation mode, and so on. The strong operation mode, the medium operation mode, and the weak operation mode are a plurality of preset operation modes. The input value for the electric blower 18 is the largest in the strong operation mode and the smallest in the weak operation mode. The started electric blower 18 sucks air from the dust separation / dust collection unit 19 and makes the inside of the dust separation / dust collection unit 19 a negative pressure.

塵埃分離集塵部１９内の負圧は、本体接続口２３、延長管１５、および吸込口体１６を順次に通じて吸込口２７に作用する。電気掃除機２は、吸込口２７に作用した負圧によって、被掃除面上の塵埃を空気とともに吸い込んで被掃除面を掃除する。塵埃分離集塵部１９は、電気掃除機２に吸い込まれた含塵空気から塵埃を分離し、蓄積する一方で、含塵空気から分離した空気を電動送風機１８へ送る。電動送風機１８は、塵埃分離集塵部１９から吸い込んだ空気を掃除機本体１２外へ排気する。 The negative pressure in the dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 sequentially passes through the main body connection port 23, the extension pipe 15, and the suction port body 16 and acts on the suction port 27. The vacuum cleaner 2 cleans the surface to be cleaned by sucking dust on the surface to be cleaned together with air by the negative pressure acting on the suction port 27. The dust separation / dust collecting unit 19 separates and accumulates dust from the dust-containing air sucked into the vacuum cleaner 2, while sending the air separated from the dust-containing air to the electric blower 18. The electric blower 18 exhausts the air sucked from the dust separation / dust collection unit 19 to the outside of the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

他方、電気掃除機２の充電装置３は、床面上に置かれる。充電装置３は、電気掃除機２の収納台を兼ねている。充電装置３は、居室の壁面に設置される、いわゆる壁掛けタイプであっても良い。 On the other hand, the charging device 3 of the vacuum cleaner 2 is placed on the floor surface.

図１に加えて図２に示すように、本実施形態に係る電気掃除装置１の充電装置３は、掃除機本体１２を下方から支えて電気掃除機２を収納する。また、充電装置３は、掃除機本体１２から取り外された延長管１５と吸込口体１６とを一体で収納する。 As shown in FIG. 2 in addition to FIG. 1, the charging device 3 of the electric cleaning device 1 according to the present embodiment supports the vacuum cleaner main body 12 from below and houses the electric vacuum cleaner 2. Further, the charging device 3 integrally houses the extension pipe 15 removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 and the suction port body 16.

充電装置３の脚部３１は、支持部３７に収納された状態の掃除機本体１２の下方投影よりも大きく拡がり、充電装置３の安定性を高めている。 The legs 31 of the charging device 3 are wider than the downward projection of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 housed in the support portion 37, and enhance the stability of the charging device 3.

充電装置３の支持台３２は、収納状態から使用状態へ、また使用状態から収納状態へと掃除機本体１２を取り扱いやすいように、掃除機本体１２を床面から離し、相応の高さ、例えば７０ｃｍから８０ｃｍ程度の高さに把手１１を配置できるよう、上方へ延びている。 The support base 32 of the charging device 3 separates the vacuum cleaner main body 12 from the floor surface so that the vacuum cleaner main body 12 can be easily handled from the stored state to the used state and from the used state to the stored state, and has an appropriate height, for example. The handle 11 extends upward so that the handle 11 can be arranged at a height of about 70 cm to 80 cm.

また、充電装置３は、本体接続口２３を下方へ向けた姿勢で掃除機本体１２を支える支持部３７と、掃除機本体１２が支持部３７に支持される状態において本体接続口２３に対面する底板４１を有する凹部４２と、凹部４２を充電装置３の側方へ開放して見通しを確保する切り欠き４４を有する側壁部４３と、を備えている。 Further, the charging device 3 faces the support portion 37 that supports the vacuum cleaner main body 12 with the main body connection port 23 facing downward, and the main body connection port 23 in a state where the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is supported by the support portion 37. It includes a recess 42 having a bottom plate 41, and a side wall portion 43 having a notch 44 that opens the recess 42 to the side of the charging device 3 to secure a line of sight.

さらに、充電装置３は、凹部４２の底板４１に設けられて掃除機本体１２の本体接続口２３に嵌まり込む凸部４５を備えている。 Further, the charging device 3 is provided with a convex portion 45 provided on the bottom plate 41 of the concave portion 42 and fitted into the main body connection port 23 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

また、充電装置３は、掃除機本体１２に装着されている二次電池１３へ電力を供給する給電路４７と、掃除機本体１２から取り外されている二次電池１３を充電可能な充電回路４８と、を備えている。 Further, the charging device 3 includes a power supply path 47 for supplying electric power to the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12, and a charging circuit 48 capable of charging the secondary battery 13 removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12. And have.

支持部３７は、支持台３２の頂部に設けられている。支持部３７は、本体ケース１７の円筒状の前半部１７ａを受けるカップ状の枠である。支持部３７は、前半部１７ａの前端部に接して掃除機本体１２を支える段部４９を有している。 The support portion 37 is provided on the top of the support base 32. The support portion 37 is a cup-shaped frame that receives the cylindrical front half portion 17a of the main body case 17. The support portion 37 has a step portion 49 that is in contact with the front end portion of the front half portion 17a and supports the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

凹部４２は、支持部３７の下方に連続して設けられている。凹部４２は、支持部３７によって掃除機本体１２が支えられた状態、つまり掃除機本体１２の収納状態において、掃除機本体１２の一部、具体的には本体ケース１７から突出する本体接続口２３が配置される空間を画定している。凹部４２の底板４１は、支持部３７および凹部４２内で最も低い位置にある。底板４１は、切り欠き４４で開放されている縁が最も低くなるように傾斜していることが好ましい。 The recess 42 is continuously provided below the support portion 37. The recess 42 is a main body connection port 23 protruding from a part of the vacuum cleaner main body 12, specifically, the main body case 17 in a state where the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is supported by the support portion 37, that is, in a stored state of the vacuum cleaner main body 12. Defines the space in which is placed. The bottom plate 41 of the recess 42 is at the lowest position in the support 37 and the recess 42. The bottom plate 41 is preferably inclined so that the edge opened by the notch 44 is the lowest.

凹部４２は、本体接続口２３に触れていても良いが、本体接続口２３と凹部４２の底板４１との間に隙間を隔てることによって、掃除機本体１２の重量を支持部３７の段部４９で確実に受けて支持を安定させることができる。 The recess 42 may touch the main body connection port 23, but by separating a gap between the main body connection port 23 and the bottom plate 41 of the recess 42, the weight of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 can be transferred to the step portion 49 of the support portion 37. It can be reliably received and the support can be stabilized.

支持部３７および凹部４２は、凹部４２の底板４１へ向かって狭くなっている。支持部３７および凹部４２は、掃除機本体１２を充電装置３へ収納する際に、掃除機本体１２の本体接続口２３を凹部４２の底板４１へ誘導する。 The support portion 37 and the recess 42 are narrowed toward the bottom plate 41 of the recess 42. The support portion 37 and the recess 42 guide the main body connection port 23 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 to the bottom plate 41 of the recess 42 when the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the charging device 3.

具体的には、支持部３７および凹部４２は、より大径な本体ケース１７に対応する支持部３７から、より小径な本体接続口２３に対応する凹部４２へ向かって狭くなっている。また、掃除機本体１２を支持部３７へ納める方向、つまり平面視において、凹部４２は、支持部３７に包絡されるように配置されている。これによって、支持部３７へ侵入する掃除機本体１２は、本体接続口２３の筒先を凹部４２の底板４１へ向かって誘導されることになる。 Specifically, the support portion 37 and the recess 42 are narrowed from the support portion 37 corresponding to the larger diameter main body case 17 toward the concave portion 42 corresponding to the smaller diameter main body connection port 23. Further, the recess 42 is arranged so as to be enveloped by the support portion 37 in the direction in which the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the support portion 37, that is, in a plan view. As a result, the vacuum cleaner main body 12 that invades the support portion 37 is guided toward the bottom plate 41 of the recess 42 at the tip of the main body connection port 23.

また、支持部３７の上方開口端部は、中央側に向かって傾斜している。この傾斜は、掃除機本体１２を収納位置へ円滑に導く。 Further, the upper opening end of the support portion 37 is inclined toward the center side. This inclination smoothly guides the vacuum cleaner body 12 to the storage position.

側壁部４３の切り欠き４４は、支持部３７の幅寸法よりも狭く、また、側壁部４３の切り欠き４４は、実質的に凹部４２の全幅を開放する。 The notch 44 of the side wall 43 is narrower than the width dimension of the support 37, and the notch 44 of the side wall 43 opens substantially the entire width of the recess 42.

切り欠き４４は、凹部４２を水平方向へ開放するものであれば、側壁部４３の前後左右いずれの方向へ設けられていても良い。また、凹部４２は、水平方向にみて本体接続口２３の形状に対応しつつ切り欠き４４の奥側へ向かって狭くなる楔状の形状であっても良い。 The notch 44 may be provided in any of the front, rear, left, and right directions of the side wall portion 43 as long as the recess 42 is opened in the horizontal direction. Further, the recess 42 may have a wedge-shaped shape that narrows toward the back side of the notch 44 while corresponding to the shape of the main body connection port 23 when viewed in the horizontal direction.

凸部４５は、本体接続口２３の内側に嵌まり込むことで、支持部３７に支えられる掃除機本体１２が前後左右へ倒れ込むことを阻止して収納状態を安定させる。 By fitting the convex portion 45 inside the main body connection port 23, the vacuum cleaner main body 12 supported by the support portion 37 is prevented from falling forward, backward, left and right, and the stored state is stabilized.

給電路４７は、商用交流電源から電源コード３５を介して給電される商用交流電力を直流電力に変換し、掃除機本体１２の受電端子５１を介して掃除機本体１２に装着されている二次電池１３へ給電する。 The power supply path 47 converts the commercial AC power supplied from the commercial AC power supply via the power cord 35 into DC power, and is attached to the vacuum cleaner main body 12 via the power receiving terminal 51 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12. Power is supplied to the battery 13.

給電路４７は、支持部３７の適宜の箇所、例えば頂部近傍から引き出されて線状に延びる引出線５２を備えている。引出線５２は、掃除機本体１２が充電装置３に収納されていようが、収納されてなかろうが、給電路４７を受電端子５１に接続可能なように、取り回すことができる。 The power supply path 47 includes a leader line 52 that is pulled out from an appropriate position of the support portion 37, for example, the vicinity of the top portion and extends linearly. The leader line 52 can be routed so that the power supply path 47 can be connected to the power receiving terminal 51 regardless of whether the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the charging device 3 or not.

給電路４７の出力端、つまり引出線５２の自由端には、受電端子５１に着脱可能な給電端子５３が設けられている。給電端子５３は、例えばプラグである。 At the output end of the power supply path 47, that is, the free end of the leader line 52, a power supply terminal 53 that can be attached to and detached from the power receiving terminal 51 is provided. The power supply terminal 53 is, for example, a plug.

充電回路４８は、商用交流電源から電源コード３５を介して給電される商用交流電力を直流電力に変換し、充電部３８に装着されている二次電池１３を充電する。 The charging circuit 48 converts the commercial AC power supplied from the commercial AC power supply via the power cord 35 into DC power, and charges the secondary battery 13 mounted on the charging unit 38.

給電路４７および充電回路４８は、商用交流電力を直流電力に変換するＡＣ−ＤＣコンバーター回路を共有していても良いし、ＡＣ−ＤＣコンバーター回路をそれぞれ個別に備えていても良い。また、給電路４７および充電回路４８は、ＡＣ−ＤＣコンバーター回路に代えてＡＣアダプター（商用交流電力を直流電力に変換して出力するＡＣ−ＤＣアダプター）を備えていても良い。ＡＣ−ＤＣコンバーター回路は、充電装置３の支持台３２の下半部に収容されている。 The power supply path 47 and the charging circuit 48 may share an AC-DC converter circuit that converts commercial AC power into DC power, or may individually include an AC-DC converter circuit. Further, the power supply path 47 and the charging circuit 48 may be provided with an AC adapter (AC-DC adapter that converts commercial AC power into DC power and outputs it) instead of the AC-DC converter circuit. The AC-DC converter circuit is housed in the lower half of the support 32 of the charging device 3.

充電装置３は、給電路４７による電気掃除機２への給電と充電回路４８による二次電池１３の充電と、を同時に実施できる。つまり、給電路４７を介して収納状態の電気掃除機２へ直流電力を給電し、電気掃除機２に装着されている二次電池１３を充電すると同時に、充電回路４８を介して充電部３８に装着されている二次電池１３を充電することができる。 The charging device 3 can simultaneously supply power to the vacuum cleaner 2 through the power supply path 47 and charge the secondary battery 13 through the charging circuit 48. That is, DC power is supplied to the stored vacuum cleaner 2 via the power supply path 47 to charge the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner 2, and at the same time, the charging unit 38 is charged via the charging circuit 48. The mounted secondary battery 13 can be charged.

次いで、掃除機本体１２の電池装着部２５について詳細に説明する。 Next, the battery mounting portion 25 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 will be described in detail.

socket

電池装着部２５は、本体ケース１７の円筒状の後半部１７ｂの下面側に設けられた凹部である。電池装着部２５および二次電池１３には、二次電池１３を電池装着部２５に機械的に着脱可能に保持する機構が設けられている。この機構は、例えば電池装着部２５に設けられるシューと、二次電池１３に設けられてシューに嵌合可能なレールとの組み合わせである。 The battery mounting portion 25 is a recess provided on the lower surface side of the cylindrical latter half portion 17b of the main body case 17. The battery mounting portion 25 and the secondary battery 13 are provided with a mechanism for mechanically and detachably holding the secondary battery 13 in the battery mounting portion 25. This mechanism is, for example, a combination of a shoe provided on the battery mounting portion 25 and a rail provided on the secondary battery 13 that can be fitted to the shoe.

電池装着部２５は、掃除機本体１２に装着された二次電池１３を着脱可能に固定するロック機構６１を備えている。 The battery mounting portion 25 includes a lock mechanism 61 that detachably fixes the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

ロック機構６１は、掃除機本体１２に装着された二次電池１３を離脱可能なようにロック機構６１の解除操作を受け付ける操作部６２と、二次電池１３に設けられた凹部６３に引っ掛かり、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から離脱することを妨げる凸部６５を有する梃子６６と、凸部６５が凹部６３に引っ掛かるように梃子６６を移動させる力を発生させる弾性部材６７と、を備えている。 The lock mechanism 61 is hooked on the operation unit 62 that accepts the release operation of the lock mechanism 61 so that the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12 can be detached, and the recess 63 provided in the secondary battery 13. A lever 66 having a convex portion 65 for preventing the next battery 13 from being separated from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 and an elastic member 67 for generating a force for moving the lever 66 so that the convex portion 65 is caught in the concave portion 63 are provided. There is.

操作部６２は梃子６６の一方の端部に設けられ、凸部６５は梃子６６の他方の端部に設けられている。 The operating portion 62 is provided at one end of the lever 66, and the convex portion 65 is provided at the other end of the lever 66.

梃子６６は、掃除機本体１２の内側へ向かって押し込まれる操作部６２の動きを、凹部６３から凸部６５が抜け出るように凸部６５を動かす力に変換する。 The lever 66 converts the movement of the operating portion 62 pushed inward of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 into a force for moving the convex portion 65 so that the convex portion 65 comes out from the concave portion 63.

また、電池装着部２５は、二次電池１３を掃除機本体１２の電気回路に電気的に接続する接続端子６９と、掃除機本体１２に装着された二次電池１３を充電する際に、充電装置３の給電路４７を二次電池１３へ電気的に接続する受電端子５１と、を備えている。 Further, the battery mounting unit 25 is charged when charging the connection terminal 69 for electrically connecting the secondary battery 13 to the electric circuit of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 and the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12. It includes a power receiving terminal 51 that electrically connects the power supply path 47 of the device 3 to the secondary battery 13.

接続端子６９は、電気掃除機２が二次電池１３に蓄えられた電力を消費する際に二次電池１３から電力を取り出す出口端子であり、電気掃除機２に装着された二次電池１３を充電する際に二次電池１３へ電力を送り込む入口端子でもある。接続端子６９は、電気掃除機２に装着された二次電池１３を充電する際に、電気掃除機２内の電路、および受電端子５１を介して充電装置３の給電路４７に接続される。 The connection terminal 69 is an outlet terminal for extracting electric power from the secondary battery 13 when the electric vacuum cleaner 2 consumes the electric power stored in the secondary battery 13, and the secondary battery 13 mounted on the electric vacuum cleaner 2 is used. It is also an inlet terminal that sends power to the secondary battery 13 when charging. When charging the secondary battery 13 mounted on the vacuum cleaner 2, the connection terminal 69 is connected to the power supply path 47 of the charging device 3 via the electric circuit in the vacuum cleaner 2 and the power receiving terminal 51.

受電端子５１は、例えばソケットである。受電端子５１は、充電装置３の給電端子５３、例えばプラグを容易に接続し、切り離すことができる。受電端子５１は、電気掃除機２内の電路を介して接続端子６９に接続されている。受電端子５１は、本体ケース１７内に収容されている。そのため、本体ケース１７は、給電端子５３を受電端子５１に案内可能な貫通孔７１を有している。 The power receiving terminal 51 is, for example, a socket. The power receiving terminal 51 can be easily connected to and disconnected from the power feeding terminal 53 of the charging device 3, for example, a plug. The power receiving terminal 51 is connected to the connection terminal 69 via an electric circuit in the vacuum cleaner 2. The power receiving terminal 51 is housed in the main body case 17. Therefore, the main body case 17 has a through hole 71 that can guide the power feeding terminal 53 to the power receiving terminal 51.

ところで、掃除機本体１２から二次電池１３が取り外されている状態であっても、受電端子５１に充電装置３の給電端子５３が接続された場合には、接続端子６９には電圧が印加される。また、掃除機本体１２から二次電池１３が取り外されている状態では、接続端子６９が、掃除機本体１２の外観に露出する場合がある。つまり、掃除機本体１２から二次電池１３が取り外されている状態で、受電端子５１に充電装置３の給電端子５３が接続された場合には、電圧が印加された接続端子６９が、掃除機本体１２の外観に露出してしまう。このように電圧が印加された接続端子６９が、掃除機本体１２の外観に露出することは、機器の安全上、好ましくない。 By the way, even when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, when the power supply terminal 53 of the charging device 3 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51, a voltage is applied to the connection terminal 69. To. Further, when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, the connection terminal 69 may be exposed to the appearance of the vacuum cleaner main body 12. That is, when the power supply terminal 53 of the charging device 3 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51 with the secondary battery 13 removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, the connection terminal 69 to which the voltage is applied is the vacuum cleaner. It is exposed to the appearance of the main body 12. It is not preferable from the viewpoint of equipment safety that the connection terminal 69 to which the voltage is applied is exposed to the appearance of the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

そこで、本実施形態に係る電気掃除機２は、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されている場合には、受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を阻止し、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２に装着されている場合には、受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を許可する端子接続規制部７３を備えている。 Therefore, in the vacuum cleaner 2 according to the present embodiment, when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47 is blocked, and the secondary battery 13 is removed. When mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12, it includes a terminal connection restricting unit 73 that allows connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47.

また、本実施形態に係る電気掃除機２は、受電端子５１に給電路４７が接続されている場合には、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されることを規制する取外規制部７５を備えている。 Further, the vacuum cleaner 2 according to the present embodiment has a removal control unit 75 that regulates that the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 when the power supply path 47 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51. It has.

端子接続規制部７３は、電池装着部２５の貫通孔７１の開口度を変化させて、受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を阻止したり、受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を許可したりする。端子接続規制部７３は、例えば貫通孔７１を開閉可能なシャッターである。端子接続規制部７３は、貫通孔７１を閉じることで受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を阻止し、貫通孔７１を開くことで受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を許可する。なお、端子接続規制部７３は、受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を阻止する際に、貫通孔７１を全閉させなくても良い。端子接続規制部７３は、給電端子５３が貫通孔７１を通過しない程度に貫通孔７１を閉じることができれば良い。 The terminal connection regulating unit 73 changes the opening degree of the through hole 71 of the battery mounting unit 25 to prevent the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47, or permits the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47. To do. The terminal connection restricting unit 73 is, for example, a shutter capable of opening and closing the through hole 71. The terminal connection restricting unit 73 blocks the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47 by closing the through hole 71, and permits the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47 by opening the through hole 71. The terminal connection regulating unit 73 does not have to completely close the through hole 71 when blocking the connection between the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47. The terminal connection restricting unit 73 may close the through hole 71 to the extent that the power supply terminal 53 does not pass through the through hole 71.

端子接続規制部７３は、電池装着部２５に装着される二次電池１３の動きに連動して貫通孔７１を開閉させる。具体的には、端子接続規制部７３は、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されている場合には、電池装着部２５に露出し、二次電池１３を掃除機本体１２に装着する際に、二次電池１３によって本体ケース１７内に押し込まれる作動片７６を有している。端子接続規制部７３は、電池装着部２５に二次電池１３を装着する際に、二次電池１３に押し込まれる作動片７６の動きに連動して貫通孔７１を開く。なお、作動片７６は、電池装着部２５に露出していなくても良い。作動片７６は、常に本体ケース１７内にあって電池装着部２５の外観に現れず、二次電池１３に設けられた突起を本体ケース１７内に挿入することで、二次電池１３の動きに連動して端子接続規制部７３を作動させ、貫通孔７１を開くものであっても良い。 The terminal connection restricting unit 73 opens and closes the through hole 71 in conjunction with the movement of the secondary battery 13 mounted on the battery mounting unit 25. Specifically, the terminal connection restricting unit 73 is exposed to the battery mounting unit 25 when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, and the secondary battery 13 is mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 12. At that time, it has an operating piece 76 that is pushed into the main body case 17 by the secondary battery 13. When the secondary battery 13 is mounted on the battery mounting section 25, the terminal connection regulating section 73 opens the through hole 71 in conjunction with the movement of the working piece 76 pushed into the secondary battery 13. The working piece 76 does not have to be exposed to the battery mounting portion 25. The working piece 76 is always inside the main body case 17 and does not appear in the appearance of the battery mounting portion 25, and by inserting the protrusion provided on the secondary battery 13 into the main body case 17, the movement of the secondary battery 13 can be achieved. The terminal connection regulation unit 73 may be operated in conjunction with the operation to open the through hole 71.

また、端子接続規制部７３は、電池装着部２５から二次電池１３が取り外されると、端子接続規制部７３を移動させて貫通孔７１を閉じる閉鎖用弾性部材７７を備えている。閉鎖用弾性部材７７は、二次電池１３の動きに連動して貫通孔７１を開く端子接続規制部７３の動きによってエネルギーを蓄え、このエネルギーを消費して貫通孔７１を閉じる。 Further, the terminal connection restricting unit 73 includes a closing elastic member 77 that moves the terminal connection restricting unit 73 and closes the through hole 71 when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the battery mounting unit 25. The closing elastic member 77 stores energy by the movement of the terminal connection regulating portion 73 that opens the through hole 71 in conjunction with the movement of the secondary battery 13, and consumes this energy to close the through hole 71.

端子接続規制部７３は、作動片７６に一体で移動するものに限られない。端子接続規制部７３は、例えばリンク機構やカム機構などの既知の機構であって、二次電池１３の動きを貫通孔７１の開閉に変換する機構を備えていても良い。 The terminal connection restricting unit 73 is not limited to the one that moves integrally with the operating piece 76. The terminal connection restricting unit 73 may be a known mechanism such as a link mechanism or a cam mechanism, and may include a mechanism that converts the movement of the secondary battery 13 into the opening and closing of the through hole 71.

取外規制部７５は、例えば二次電池１３に一体のフランジ部８２に設けられる取外規制口８３である。取外規制口８３は、二次電池１３が電池装着部２５の正規位置に装着された状態で電池装着部２５の貫通孔７１に重なり、給電端子５３が貫通孔７１へ達することを許可する。 The removal control unit 75 is, for example, a removal control port 83 provided on the flange portion 82 integrated with the secondary battery 13. The removal restriction port 83 overlaps with the through hole 71 of the battery mounting portion 25 in a state where the secondary battery 13 is mounted at the regular position of the battery mounting portion 25, and allows the power supply terminal 53 to reach the through hole 71.

また、取外規制口８３は、受電端子５１に給電端子５３を接続した状態で電池装着部２５に装着されている二次電池１３の移動を妨げて、二次電池１３が電池装着部２５から取り外されることを規制する。具体的には、取外規制部７５は、二次電池１３を電池装着部２５に機械的に着脱可能に保持する機構、例えばシューとレールとが噛み合わされている状態で、二次電池１３のレールが電池装着部２５のシューから抜け出る方向へ移動することを規制する。 Further, the removal restriction port 83 hinders the movement of the secondary battery 13 mounted on the battery mounting portion 25 with the power supply terminal 53 connected to the power receiving terminal 51, so that the secondary battery 13 is removed from the battery mounting portion 25. Regulate being removed. Specifically, the removal control unit 75 is a mechanism for mechanically and detachably holding the secondary battery 13 to the battery mounting unit 25, for example, in a state where the shoe and the rail are meshed with each other. It restricts the rail from moving in the direction of coming out of the shoe of the battery mounting portion 25.

取外規制口８３は、フランジ部８２に設けられる取外規制口８３に限られない。取外規制口８３は、フランジ部８２に設けられる切欠き、フランジ部８２の縁、および二次電池１３のケースの側壁など、受電端子５１に接続された給電端子５３に、機械的に接触して二次電池１３の取り外しを妨げる部位であれば良い。 The removal control port 83 is not limited to the removal control port 83 provided on the flange portion 82. The removal control port 83 mechanically contacts the power supply terminal 53 connected to the power receiving terminal 51, such as the notch provided in the flange portion 82, the edge of the flange portion 82, and the side wall of the case of the secondary battery 13. Any part may be used as long as it prevents the removal of the secondary battery 13.

本実施形態に係る電気掃除機２は、取外規制部７５に代えて、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されると受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を解除する接続解除機構を備えていても良い。接続解除機構は、受電端子５１に給電路４７が接続されている場合に二次電池１３の取り外しを規制する取外規制部７５と異なり、二次電池１３の取り外しに連動させて受電端子５１と給電路４７との接続を解除する。 The vacuum cleaner 2 according to the present embodiment has a connection disconnecting mechanism for disconnecting the power receiving terminal 51 and the power supply path 47 when the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12, instead of the removal restricting unit 75. You may have it. The connection release mechanism is different from the removal regulation unit 75 that regulates the removal of the secondary battery 13 when the power supply path 47 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51, and is linked to the removal of the secondary battery 13 with the power receiving terminal 51. The connection with the power supply path 47 is released.

接続解除機構は、例えば端子接続規制部７３が貫通孔７１を閉じる際に、閉鎖用弾性部材７７のエネルギーを消費して給電路４７を受電端子５１から押し出す。この場合には、接続解除機構は、閉鎖用弾性部材７７のエネルギーを、給電路４７を受電端子５１から押し出す力に変換するリンク機構やカム機構などの既知の機構で構成される。また、接続解除機構は、例えばロック機構６１が解除される際に、操作部６２に加わる力によって給電路４７を受電端子５１から押し出す。この場合には、接続解除機構は、操作部６２に加わる力を、給電路４７を受電端子５１から押し出す力に変換するリンク機構やカム機構などの既知の機構で構成される。 For example, when the terminal connection restricting unit 73 closes the through hole 71, the connection disconnecting mechanism consumes the energy of the closing elastic member 77 and pushes the power supply path 47 out of the power receiving terminal 51. In this case, the connection disconnecting mechanism is composed of a known mechanism such as a link mechanism or a cam mechanism that converts the energy of the closing elastic member 77 into a force that pushes the power supply path 47 from the power receiving terminal 51. Further, the connection release mechanism pushes the power supply path 47 from the power receiving terminal 51 by the force applied to the operation unit 62, for example, when the lock mechanism 61 is released. In this case, the connection disconnecting mechanism is composed of a known mechanism such as a link mechanism or a cam mechanism that converts a force applied to the operation unit 62 into a force for pushing the power supply path 47 from the power receiving terminal 51.

さらに、接続解除機構は、例えば二次電池１３に設けられるフランジ部に孔（口）を有するものであっても良い。この場合には、掃除機本体１２の貫通孔７１は、二次電池１３を電池装着部２５に着脱する際に移動する方向へ開口していることが好ましい。二次電池１３の孔は、二次電池１３が電池装着部２５に取り付けられると貫通孔７１に重なって、給電端子５３を受電端子５１に接続可能にする一方で、二次電池１３が電池装着部２５から取り外されると、二次電池１３の移動によって受電端子５１から給電端子５３を抜き取る。 Further, the connection disconnecting mechanism may have a hole (mouth) in the flange portion provided in the secondary battery 13, for example. In this case, it is preferable that the through hole 71 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is opened in the direction of moving when the secondary battery 13 is attached to and detached from the battery mounting portion 25. The hole of the secondary battery 13 overlaps with the through hole 71 when the secondary battery 13 is attached to the battery mounting portion 25, so that the power supply terminal 53 can be connected to the power receiving terminal 51, while the secondary battery 13 is mounted with the battery. When it is removed from the unit 25, the power supply terminal 53 is pulled out from the power receiving terminal 51 by moving the secondary battery 13.

充電装置３は、掃除機本体１２の収納台でもある。そして、充電装置３は、充電装置３電気掃除機２が装着されて給電路４７が二次電池１３へ給電可能な場合には、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されることを規制する第二取外規制部８５を備えている。 The charging device 3 is also a storage stand for the vacuum cleaner main body 12. Then, the charging device 3 regulates that the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 when the charging device 3 electric vacuum cleaner 2 is attached and the power supply path 47 can supply power to the secondary battery 13. It is equipped with a second removal control unit 85.

第二取外規制部８５は、充電装置３の側壁部４３の一部であって、掃除機本体１２が充電装置３に収納された状態で、ロック機構６１の操作部６２を隠して操作を阻害する。第二取外規制部８５は、給電路４７が掃除機本体１２の受電端子５１に接続されていても、接続されていなくても、ロック機構６１の操作部６２を隠して操作を阻害する。 The second removal control unit 85 is a part of the side wall portion 43 of the charging device 3, and in a state where the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the charging device 3, the operation unit 62 of the lock mechanism 61 is hidden and operated. Inhibit. The second removal control unit 85 hides the operation unit 62 of the lock mechanism 61 and hinders the operation regardless of whether the power supply path 47 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51 of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 or not.

第二取外規制部８５は、充電装置３の側壁部４３の一部であって、掃除機本体１２が充電装置３に収納された状態で、ロック機構６１の梃子６６の移動を阻害するものであっても良い。 The second removal control unit 85 is a part of the side wall portion 43 of the charging device 3 and hinders the movement of the lever 66 of the lock mechanism 61 in a state where the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the charging device 3. It may be.

また、第二取外規制部８５は、充電装置３が設置される被掃除面や、充電装置３が設置される壁面によって、掃除機本体１２が充電装置３に収納された状態で、ロック機構６１の操作部６２を隠して操作を阻害するものであっても良い。床面設置型の充電装置３では、ロック機構６１の操作部６２が被掃除面に対面して押し込み操作ができないよう、またはロック機構６１の梃子６６が被掃除面に接触して移動ができないよう、掃除機本体１２は、横臥する姿勢（掃除機本体１２の長手方向を横倒しにした姿勢）で被掃除面の近傍に収納される。壁掛け型の充電装置３では、ロック機構６１の操作部６２が壁面に対面して押し込み操作ができないよう、またはロック機構６１の梃子６６が壁面に接触して移動ができないよう、掃除機本体１２は、起立する姿勢（掃除機本体１２の長手方向を上下へ向けた姿勢）で壁面の近傍に収納される。 Further, the second removal control unit 85 has a lock mechanism in a state where the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the charging device 3 by the surface to be cleaned on which the charging device 3 is installed and the wall surface on which the charging device 3 is installed. The operation unit 62 of 61 may be hidden to hinder the operation. In the floor-mounted charging device 3, the operation unit 62 of the lock mechanism 61 faces the surface to be cleaned so that the pushing operation cannot be performed, or the lever 66 of the lock mechanism 61 comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned and cannot move. The vacuum cleaner main body 12 is housed in the vicinity of the surface to be cleaned in a lying position (a posture in which the longitudinal direction of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is turned sideways). In the wall-mounted charging device 3, the vacuum cleaner body 12 is used so that the operation unit 62 of the lock mechanism 61 faces the wall surface and cannot be pushed in, or the lever 66 of the lock mechanism 61 contacts the wall surface and cannot move. , It is stored in the vicinity of the wall surface in a standing posture (a posture in which the longitudinal direction of the vacuum cleaner main body 12 is turned up and down).

Therefore, the electric cleaning device 1 is highly safe because the connection terminal 69 to which the voltage is applied is not exposed to the appearance of the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

さらに、本実施形態に係る電気掃除装置１は、受電端子５１に給電路４７が接続されている場合には、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されることを規制する取外規制部７５を備えている。そのため、電気掃除装置１は、受電端子５１に給電路４７が接続されたままの状態で掃除機本体１２から二次電池１３が取り外されて、電圧が印加された接続端子６９が、掃除機本体１２の外観に露出することがなく、安全性が極めて高い。 Further, the electric cleaning device 1 according to the present embodiment has a removal control unit 75 that regulates that the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 when the power supply path 47 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51. It has. Therefore, in the electric cleaning device 1, the secondary battery 13 is removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12 while the power supply path 47 is still connected to the power receiving terminal 51, and the connection terminal 69 to which the voltage is applied is the vacuum cleaner main body. It is extremely safe because it is not exposed to the appearance of 12.

また、本実施形態に係る電気掃除装置１は、充電装置３に電気掃除機２が装着されて給電路４７が二次電池１３へ給電可能な場合には、二次電池１３が掃除機本体１２から取り外されることを規制する第二取外規制部８５を備えている。そのため、電気掃除装置１は、収納状態における二次電池１３の交換を阻害し、掃除機本体１２から二次電池１３が取り外された状態で、受電端子５１に給電路４７が接続されてしまい、電圧が印加された接続端子６９が、掃除機本体１２の外観に露出することを未然に防ぐことができる。 Further, in the electric cleaning device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the electric vacuum cleaner 2 is attached to the charging device 3 and the power supply path 47 can supply power to the secondary battery 13, the secondary battery 13 is the vacuum cleaner main body 12. It is equipped with a second removal control unit 85 that regulates removal from. Therefore, the electric cleaning device 1 hinders the replacement of the secondary battery 13 in the stored state, and the power supply path 47 is connected to the power receiving terminal 51 with the secondary battery 13 removed from the vacuum cleaner main body 12. It is possible to prevent the connection terminal 69 to which the voltage is applied from being exposed to the appearance of the vacuum cleaner main body 12.

さらに、本実施形態に係る電気掃除装置１は、二次電池１３が充電中であること、および満充電であることを報知する報知部２２を備えている。そのため、電気掃除装置１は、複数の二次電池１３を適宜に交換して、電気掃除機の運転時間を長持ちさせることができる。 Further, the electric cleaning device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a notification unit 22 for notifying that the secondary battery 13 is being charged and is fully charged. Therefore, the electric cleaning device 1 can appropriately replace the plurality of secondary batteries 13 to prolong the operating time of the electric vacuum cleaner.

したがって、本発明に係る電気掃除装置１によれば、電気掃除機２に装着されている二次電池１３、および予備電池を同時期に充電して電気掃除機２の運転時間を長持ちさせることが可能であって、利便性が高まる。 Therefore, according to the electric cleaning device 1 according to the present invention, the secondary battery 13 and the spare battery mounted on the electric vacuum cleaner 2 can be charged at the same time to prolong the operating time of the electric vacuum cleaner 2.
