Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一般家庭等に使用される電気掃除機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、例えば電動送風機及び集塵室を内蔵した本体と、接続管を連結した吸込口本体とが分離しており、それらを蛇腹状のホース等で接続した構造のキャニスタータイプや、電動送風機及び集塵室を内蔵する本体と、吸込口本体及びハンドルとが一体化された構造を持つスティックタイプ等の電気掃除機の開発、製品化が活発である。
【0003】
さらに、塵埃を被掃除面から分離させるべく、モータなどの電動機によって回転する回転清掃体を吸込口本体に装着し、塵埃を掻き取れるようにしたタイプも開発されている。
【0004】
一般的にこれらの電気掃除機は、吸込口本体に上下方向に回動可能に支持されたハンドルを有し、そのハンドル周辺に設置されたスイッチを手動操作することによって、電動送風機や回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をON及びOFFさせるというものである。
【0005】
これには最近、例えば使用者が使用を一時中断したい場合や、使用中に電気掃除機から短時間離れる用事ができた場合等を考慮し、スイッチを手動操作することなくハンドルの回動によって運転をON/OFFさせる構造を持ったもの(例えば、特許文献1参照。)や、回転清掃体を搭載したタイプにおいて、吸込口本体の周辺部に、吸込口本体の床面からの浮き上がりを検知する部材を取り付け、この部材が吸込口本体の非接地状態を検知すると回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をOFFさせるという構造を持ったもの(例えば、特許文献2参照。)も開発されている。これらは通常のスイッチの手動操作よりも、さらに利便性を向上させると共に節電性も兼ね備えた機能である。
【0006】

特公昭61−51884号公報
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、これらの技術はそれぞれ利便性、節電性を追求した高度な機能であるにもかかわらず、これら両機能を搭載することでさらなる利便性、節電性の向上を思慮した電気掃除機は未だ開発されていない。
【0008】
また単にこれらの機能を組み合わせるだけだと、各機能に対するスイッチ及びそれに付随する構成等を別個搭載しなければならず、結果として生産コストの増大や、スイッチ及びそれに付随する構成等の収容体積の増加に伴う吸込口本体の大型化、複雑化に繋がってしまう。
【0009】
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたもので、ハンドルの回動操作により電動送風機や回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をON/OFFさせる機能と、接地の有無を検知する機構による吸込口本体の非接地状態において電動送風機や回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をON/OFFさせる機能とを一つの操作子およびスイッチによって達成することで、利便性、節電性を向上させつつ、さらに小型化を実現した電気掃除機を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、請求項1記載の発明は、ハンドルおよび床面検知部それぞれの動作に応じて操作される操作子を有し、前記操作子が操作されることで電動送風機をON及びOFF制御するスイッチが、前記ハンドルを前記吸込口本体に対して略垂直になるように回動した状態にし、または前記吸込口本体を前記床面検知部が非接地と検知する状態にした場合において、前記電動送風機をOFFすることを特徴としている。
【0011】
また、請求項2記載の発明は、ハンドルおよび床面検知部それぞれの動作に応じて操作される操作子を有し、前記操作子が操作されることで回転清掃体を駆動する電動機をON及びOFF制御するスイッチが、前記ハンドルを前記吸込口本体に対して略垂直になるように回動した状態にし、または前記吸込口本体を前記床面検知部が非接地と検知する状態にした場合において、前記電動機をOFFすることを特徴としている。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明による電気掃除機の実施例を図1乃至図5を参照して説明する。
【0013】
図1は、本発明の実施例に係る電気掃除機の要部透視図である。図中1は吸込口本体としての本体であり、これに装設されているものとして、長手方向の一方側面に吸込力を発生させるためのファン2aが連結され、他方側面に後述する回転清掃体9を回転させるための回転軸2bを備えたモータ2と、側部にON/OFF切替を行う操作子13を有し、モータ2をON及びOFF制御するスイッチ3と、ファン2aによる吸気を濾過するフィルタ4a及び後述する吸込口10との風路を確保するための風路口4bを有し、吸入した塵埃を溜め置く集塵室4と、使用時に握る把持部(図示せず)を上部に備え、下部の側面には後述する突起14aを備えたハンドル5と、ハンドル5を本体1に対して上下方向に回動可能に支持するハンドル回転軸6と、長手方向の一端部に車輪7a、他端部に後述する突起14bを備えた車輪支持部7と、車輪支持部7を本体1に対して上下方向に回動可能かつ車輪7aが下面に突出するように支持する車輪回転軸8と、非接地状態において車輪支持部7が床面に対して垂直に位置するように附勢するバネ(図示せず)とがある。この実施例では、モータ2とファン2aとが請求項1でいう電動送風機を構成しており、モータ2単体が請求項2でいう電動機を構成している。また車輪7aを備えた車輪支持部7が床面検知部を構成している。
【0014】
また、床面と対向する床面対向部(下面)には、塵埃を掻き取り、吸引するために回転清掃体9を臨ませた吸込口10と、被掃除面の損傷を防止するため床面対向部を僅かに浮かせる前輪11が装設されている。
【0015】
回転軸2bと回転清掃体9との間には中継回転軸2cが設けられ、回転軸2bと中継回転軸2cの長手方向の一端部、中継回転軸2cの他端部と回転清掃体9それぞれをベルト12によって繋合することにより、スイッチ3によるモータ2のON状態において回転清掃体9に動力が伝動される仕組みとなっている。
【0016】
モータ2によりファン2aが運転し、また前述の仕組みによって回転清掃体9に動力が伝動されると、床面に対向した吸込口10から塵埃が吸入され、風路口4bを経て集塵室4に達し、フィルタ4aによって吸気内の塵埃のみを集める。集められた塵埃は集塵室4に蓄積され、フィルタ4aを通過した吸気はファン2aを経て本体1の外部に排出される。
【0017】
また、突起14a及び突起14bは、それぞれハンドル5を本体1に対して略垂直になるように回動した状態、車輪支持部7がバネによって床面に対し垂直に位置するように附勢された状態において操作子13を押下する。これらのいずれか一方によって操作子13が押下されれば、スイッチ3はOFF状態になる。
【0018】
なお、ハンドル5を本体1に対して略垂直になるように回動した状態において、例えば本体1を持ち上げた時に、本体1がその重みによって前方に傾いたり、人的に作用を及ぼさなくても何らかの拍子でハンドル5が傾いてしまったりすることで略垂直状態が解除され、モータ2が不用意に駆動するのを防止するため、ハンドル5周辺にはロック(図示せず)が備えられている。ロックは本体1がその重みによって前方に傾かない程度にハンドル5を略固定するもので、ハンドル5に一定の回動力を加えれば解除される。
【0019】
図2は、本発明の実施例に係る電気掃除機の使用時の側面透視図である。図示のようなスティックタイプの電気掃除機は、通常使用者がハンドル5を各々最適な角度に回動傾斜させて使用するため、突起14aは操作子13と隔離される。また床面と接地した際に本体1は車輪7aと前輪11によって支持され、車輪7aは本体1の重量で後方に押されるので、突起14bは操作子13と隔離される。これによって操作子13はスイッチ3をON状態にし、モータ2は駆動する。
【0020】
図3は、本発明の実施例に係る電気掃除機につき、接地状態でハンドルを床面に対して略垂直にした時、例えば収納状態等の未使用時の側面透視図である。本体1が接地状態である時は、図2で説明したとおり本体1の重量で車輪7aが後方に押され、突起14bが操作子13と隔離される。しかしハンドル5が床面に対して略垂直に回動されると、突起14aは操作子13を押下し、OFF状態にさせる。これによってモータ2は駆動を停止する。
【0021】
図4は、本発明の実施例に係る電気掃除機につき、ハンドルを回動傾斜させ非接地状態にした時の側面透視図である。ハンドル5の回動傾斜時には、図2で説明したとおり突起14aは操作子13と隔離される。しかし車輪7aが床面から離れると、車輪支持部7がバネによって床面に対し垂直に位置するように附勢され、突起14bは操作子13を押下し、OFF状態にさせる。これによってモータ2は駆動を停止する。
【0022】
図5は、本発明の実施例に係る電気掃除機につき、非接地状態かつハンドルを床面に対して略垂直にした時の側面透視図である。これについては前述のように、非接地状態では車輪支持部7がバネによって床面に対し垂直に位置するように附勢され、かつハンドル5が床面に対して略垂直に回動されると、突起14aは操作子13を押下するためOFF状態にさせる。これによってモータ2は駆動を停止する。
【0023】
つまり、本発明によればハンドル5を回動傾斜させ、かつ本体1を接地状態にした時にのみ、突起14aと突起14bが共に操作子13から隔離され、ON状態となる。
【0024】
上記本発明の実施例によれば、本体1を持ち上げた時及びハンドル5を略垂直状態にした時といった非清掃時の態様において、いずれの場合もハンドル周辺に設けたスイッチの手動操作なくしてモータ2を停止することができる。しかも単独の操作子13及びスイッチ3でこれを実現したことにより、構造が簡単である。
【0025】
さらに実施例の特徴としては、本体後部に設置された車輪7a具備の車輪支持部7を床面検知部として兼用することで、同じく本体後部に設置されているハンドル回転軸6との距離を近接させることができ、床面検知部で操作子13を操作するための構造の簡易化を図ったので、容易に達成することが可能である。
【0026】
なお、本発明の実施例においては、スティックタイプの電気掃除機を挙げて説明したが、例えばキャニスタータイプの電気掃除機であっても、吸込口本体に同様の構造を持たせてあれば適用可能である。
【0027】
また、モータ2に電動送風機と回転清掃体を駆動する電動機との二つの機能を持たせて説明したが、いずれか一方の機能を持つモータが搭載されていても適用可能である。
【0028】
さらに実施例では床面検知部として車輪7a具備の車輪支持部7を挙げたが、これに限定されるものではなく、要するに吸込口本体が接地状態か非接地状態かを検知する機構を具備していれば適用可能である。
【0029】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、ハンドルの回動操作により電動送風機や回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をON/OFFさせる機能と、接地の有無を検知する機構による吸込口本体の非接地状態において電動送風機や回転清掃体を駆動するモータの運転をON/OFFさせる機能とを、単独の操作子およびスイッチによって達成することが可能なので、利便性、節電性を向上させつつ、さらに小型化を実現した電気掃除機を提供することができる。

[0003]
Furthermore, in order to separate the dust from the surface to be cleaned, a type has been developed in which a rotary cleaning body that is rotated by an electric motor such as a motor is attached to the suction port body so that the dust can be scraped off.
[0004]
Generally, these vacuum cleaners have a handle that is supported by the main body of the suction port so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and an electric blower or a rotary cleaning body is manually operated by a switch installed around the handle. The operation of the motor that drives the motor is turned on and off.
[0005]
Recently, for example, when the user wants to temporarily stop use, or when the user can leave the vacuum cleaner for a short time during use, it can be operated by turning the handle without manually operating the switch. In a type having a structure for turning on / off the air (for example, see Patent Document 1) or a type equipped with a rotary cleaning body, the lifting of the suction port body from the floor surface is detected in the periphery of the suction port body. A member having a structure in which a member is attached and the operation of the motor that drives the rotary cleaning body is turned off when the member detects a non-grounding state of the suction port body has been developed (for example, see Patent Document 2). These are functions that further improve convenience and power saving than manual operation of a normal switch.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even though these technologies are advanced functions that pursue convenience and power saving, respectively, vacuum cleaners that are considering further improvements in convenience and power saving by installing these two functions are still being developed. It has not been.
[0008]
Moreover, if these functions are simply combined, a switch for each function and a structure associated therewith must be mounted separately, resulting in an increase in production cost and an increase in the accommodation volume of the switch and the structure associated therewith. This leads to an increase in size and complexity of the suction port body.
[0009]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has a function of turning on / off the operation of a motor that drives an electric blower or a rotary cleaning body by rotating a handle, and a mechanism for detecting the presence or absence of grounding. The function to turn on / off the motor that drives the electric blower and the rotary cleaning body in the non-grounded state of the suction port body by the single operation element and the switch is achieved, thereby improving convenience and power saving Another object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner that is further miniaturized.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 has an operation element operated in accordance with the operation of each of the handle and the floor surface detection unit, and the electric blower is turned on when the operation element is operated. And when the switch for controlling OFF is in a state in which the handle is rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the suction port body, or the suction port body is in a state in which the floor surface detection unit detects non-grounding. The electric blower is turned off.
[0011]
The invention according to claim 2 has an operation element operated in accordance with the operation of each of the handle and the floor surface detection unit, and when the operation element is operated, the electric motor that drives the rotary cleaning body is turned on and When the switch to be turned off is in a state in which the handle is rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the suction port body, or when the floor surface detection unit detects that the floor surface detection unit is not grounded. The motor is turned off.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Below, the Example of the vacuum cleaner by this invention is described with reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG.
[0013]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part of a vacuum cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body as a suction port main body, which is equipped with a fan 2a for generating suction force on one side surface in the longitudinal direction, and a rotary cleaning body to be described later on the other side surface. A motor 2 having a rotating shaft 2b for rotating 9, a switch 13 for ON / OFF switching on the side, a switch 3 for ON / OFF control of the motor 2, and filtration of intake air by the fan 2a The filter 4a and the air inlet 4b for securing the air inlet 10 to be described later have an air passage opening 4b. A handle 5 having a projection 14a, which will be described later, a handle rotating shaft 6 that supports the handle 5 so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body 1, and a wheel 7a at one end in the longitudinal direction. Protrusion described later on the other end A wheel support 7 provided with 4b, a wheel rotating shaft 8 which supports the wheel support 7 so that the wheel support 7 can be rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the main body 1 and the wheel 7a protrudes on the lower surface, and the wheel support in a non-grounded state. There is a spring (not shown) that biases the portion 7 so as to be positioned perpendicular to the floor surface. In this embodiment, the motor 2 and the fan 2a constitute the electric blower referred to in claim 1, and the motor 2 alone constitutes the electric motor referred to in claim 2. Moreover, the wheel support part 7 provided with the wheel 7a comprises the floor surface detection part.
[0014]
Further, the floor surface facing portion (lower surface) facing the floor surface has a suction port 10 facing the rotary cleaning body 9 to scrape and suck dust, and a floor surface to prevent damage to the surface to be cleaned. A front wheel 11 that slightly floats the facing portion is installed.
[0015]
A relay rotary shaft 2c is provided between the rotary shaft 2b and the rotary cleaning body 9, and one end of the rotary shaft 2b and the relay rotary shaft 2c in the longitudinal direction, the other end of the relay rotary shaft 2c, and the rotary cleaning body 9 respectively. Are coupled by the belt 12 so that the power is transmitted to the rotary cleaning body 9 in the ON state of the motor 2 by the switch 3.
[0016]
When the fan 2a is operated by the motor 2 and power is transmitted to the rotary cleaning body 9 by the above-described mechanism, dust is sucked from the suction port 10 facing the floor surface, and enters the dust collecting chamber 4 through the air passage port 4b. The filter 4a collects only dust in the intake air. The collected dust is accumulated in the dust collecting chamber 4, and the intake air that has passed through the filter 4a is discharged to the outside of the main body 1 through the fan 2a.
[0017]
Further, the protrusion 14a and the protrusion 14b are each urged so that the wheel support portion 7 is positioned perpendicular to the floor surface by a spring while the handle 5 is rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the main body 1. In the state, the operator 13 is pressed. If the operator 13 is pressed by any one of these, the switch 3 is turned off.
[0018]
In the state where the handle 5 is rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the main body 1, for example, when the main body 1 is lifted, the main body 1 does not tilt forward due to its weight or does not affect humans. A lock (not shown) is provided around the handle 5 in order to prevent the motor 2 from being inadvertently driven when the handle 5 is tilted at any time and the motor 2 is inadvertently driven. . The lock substantially fixes the handle 5 to such an extent that the main body 1 does not tilt forward due to its weight, and is released when a certain turning force is applied to the handle 5.
[0019]
FIG. 2 is a side perspective view when the vacuum cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention is used. The stick-type vacuum cleaner as shown in the figure is normally used by a user by turning the handle 5 to an optimum angle, so that the protrusion 14 a is isolated from the operating element 13. Further, the main body 1 is supported by the wheels 7 a and the front wheels 11 when being in contact with the floor surface, and the wheels 7 a are pushed rearward by the weight of the main body 1, so that the protrusion 14 b is isolated from the operator 13. As a result, the operator 13 turns on the switch 3 and the motor 2 is driven.
[0020]
FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of the vacuum cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention when the handle is substantially perpendicular to the floor surface in a grounded state, for example, when not in use, such as in a stored state. When the main body 1 is in the grounded state, the wheel 7 a is pushed backward by the weight of the main body 1 as described with reference to FIG. 2, and the protrusion 14 b is isolated from the operation element 13. However, when the handle 5 is rotated substantially perpendicularly to the floor surface, the projection 14a pushes down the operation element 13 to turn it off. As a result, the motor 2 stops driving.
[0021]
FIG. 4 is a side perspective view of the vacuum cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention when the handle is turned and tilted to be in a non-grounded state. When the handle 5 is tilted, the projection 14a is isolated from the operating element 13 as described with reference to FIG. However, when the wheel 7a is separated from the floor surface, the wheel support portion 7 is urged by the spring so as to be positioned perpendicular to the floor surface, and the projection 14b pushes down the operation element 13 to turn it off. As a result, the motor 2 stops driving.
[0022]
FIG. 5 is a side perspective view of the electric vacuum cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention when the handle is not grounded and the handle is substantially perpendicular to the floor surface. As described above, when the wheel support portion 7 is biased so as to be positioned perpendicular to the floor surface by a spring and the handle 5 is rotated substantially perpendicularly to the floor surface as described above. The protrusion 14a is turned off to depress the operation element 13. As a result, the motor 2 stops driving.
[0023]
That is, according to the present invention, only when the handle 5 is rotated and tilted and the main body 1 is grounded, both the protrusion 14a and the protrusion 14b are isolated from the operation element 13 and are turned on.
[0024]
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the motor without the manual operation of the switch provided around the handle in any case in the non-cleaning mode such as when the main body 1 is lifted and when the handle 5 is set in a substantially vertical state. 2 can be stopped. Moreover, since this is realized by the single operator 13 and the switch 3, the structure is simple.
[0025]
Further, as a feature of the embodiment, the wheel support portion 7 provided with the wheel 7a installed at the rear portion of the main body is also used as a floor surface detection portion, so that the distance from the handle rotation shaft 6 also installed at the rear portion of the main body is close. Since the structure for operating the operation element 13 in the floor surface detection unit has been simplified, this can be easily achieved.
[0026]
In the embodiment of the present invention, a stick type vacuum cleaner has been described. However, for example, a canister type vacuum cleaner can be applied as long as the suction port body has the same structure. It is.
[0027]
In addition, the motor 2 has been described as having two functions of an electric blower and an electric motor that drives the rotary cleaning body, but the present invention is applicable even if a motor having one of the functions is mounted.
[0028]
Further, in the embodiment, the wheel support portion 7 provided with the wheel 7a is cited as the floor surface detection portion, but is not limited to this, and in short, has a mechanism for detecting whether the suction port body is in a grounded state or a non-grounded state. If applicable, it is applicable.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
