Abstract

PURPOSE:To displace a pointer in nearly proportion to the piled dust quantity and improve the durability of a pointer valve by arranging a valve body on the atmospheric pressure side in relation to the pointer. CONSTITUTION:In a collected dust quantity displaying device 29, when dust is piled, the pressure in a dust collecting chamber 23 drops below the atmospheric pressure, a pointer valve 36 is reversal-deformed in a shape having a nearly U-figure section on a communication pipe 33 side, and at the same time, a pointer A31 and a pointer B32 are displaced a little to the communication pipe 33 side. The pointer valve 36 is positioned on the atmospheric pressure side in relation the pointer B32, and in operation, the pointer valve 36 is attached closely to the pointer valve 36 side edge surface of an inner peripheral cylinder 39 for the pointer B32. Accordingly, almost all part of the suction force for attracting the pointer valve 36 toward the communication pipe 33 is supported by the pointer valve 36 side edge surface (rigid body part) of the inner peripheral cylinder 39, and only a small force is applied to the reversal part of the pointer valve 36, and the durability of the pointer valve 36 is not deteriorated. Further, since an air stream does not exist, the trouble of the sliding-disabled state due to the attraction of duct into a pointer cylinder 30 is prevented.

A pointer 2, a pointer spring 3 that biases the pointer backward, a pointer lid 6 located behind the pointer 2 and having a through hole 4, a transparent cylindrical pointer barrel 6 that holds these, and a pointer barrel. A recess 1 in the front main body 1o that covers the dust collecting chamber 7 of the vacuum cleaner main body 9 from above.
1, a communication pipe 8 communicates with the dust collection chamber 7, and the pointer 2 is visible from the outside through a display window 13 provided on the cover plate 12.

When the vacuum cleaner body 9 is used and dust accumulates in the dust collection bag 14, the pressure inside the dust collection chamber 7 gradually decreases to atmospheric pressure, and when the pressure drops further below a predetermined pressure, the pointer 2 is affected. Due to the vacuum pressure generated, the pointer 2 moves toward the communication tube 8 against the spring biasing force of the pointer spring 3. At this time, the position of the pointer 2 that extends beyond the display window 13 changes, allowing the user to recognize when it is time to dispose of the dust.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned display device 1, when the pointer 2 is even slightly displaced toward the communication pipe 8, the atmosphere flows through the through hole 4 into the dust collection chamber T.
As a result, the suction force from the suction port of the main body of the vacuum cleaner decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to set the displacement start pressure of the pointer 2 so that the pointer 2 is displaced when the dust collection bag 14 is almost full, and the pointer 2 is displaced in proportion to the amount of accumulated dust. It had the disadvantage that it did not. In particular, if the dust is mainly fibrous, the pressure inside the dust collection chamber T will not drop below the predetermined pressure even if the dust collection bag 14 is full, and the pointer 2 will not displace, so the dust will continue to be collected. The dust bag 14 burst, which also caused the problem of dust accumulating inside the hose connected to the main body 9.

Next, the operation and effects of the above configuration will be explained. When the vacuum cleaner body 21 is used and dust accumulates in the paper bag 22, the flow rate of air flowing into the electric blower 24 decreases, and the pressure in the dust collection chamber 23 gradually decreases to atmospheric pressure. When the amount of accumulated dust increases and this vacuum pressure becomes lower than a predetermined pressure, the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure and the inner wall 37 of the pointer barrel 30 causes
The suction force that draws the pointer valve 36 toward the communication pipe 33 becomes greater than the spring biasing force of the pointer spring 34. At this time, pointer valve 3
6, the part of the pointer B32 that touches the inner cylinder 39 is the inner cylinder 3.
9 and the inner wall 37, the pointer A31° and the pointer B32 are inverted and deformed toward the communicating tube 33 side into a substantially U-shaped cross section, and at the same time, the pointer A31° and the pointer B32 are slightly displaced toward the communicating tube 33 side.

At this time, the green pointer A31 and the red pointer B32 are visible from the display window hole 42 at the same time. When the amount of dust reaches a predetermined level, the displacement of the pointer A31 and pointer B32 becomes maximum, and only the red pointer B32 is visible from the display window hole 42, informing the user when it is time to discard the dust, and replacing the paper bag 22 with a new one. I will start using it again in a strong suction state by replacing it with.

By the way, the pointer valve 36 is sandwiched between the pointer tube 3o and the pointer cover 36 and completely blocks off the vacuum pressure part on the pointer B32 side and the atmospheric pressure part on the pointer cover side.
Even if the pointer B32 is displaced, the dust collection chamber 2 is removed through the pointer tube 30.
Air does not flow into the chamber 3, and therefore, no wasteful reduction in suction force occurs. In addition, since the above-mentioned reduction in suction force does not occur, the spring biasing force of the pointer spring 34 in its initial state can be reduced, and the pointer valve 36 can be gradually displaced from a state of low vacuum pressure, allowing the inside of the display window hole 42 The displacement movement of the pointer A31 and pointer B32 can be made gradually in proportion to the decrease in pressure, allowing the user to recognize the amount of accumulated dust with higher precision than in the past. As a result, even when inhaling dust mainly composed of fibrous dust, the guideline A3
1. The pointer B32 can be reliably displaced within a displacement range that prompts the user to replace the paper bag 22, and problems such as bursting due to continued use of the paper bag 22 full of dust can be prevented.

Further, since the pointer valve 36 is located on the atmospheric pressure side with respect to the pointer B32, when the electric blower 24 is operating, the finger valve 36 and the end surface of the inner cylinder 39 of the pointer B32 on the pointer valve 36 side come into close contact. . Therefore, most of the suction force that acts on the pointer valve 36 due to the vacuum pressure difference and draws the pointer valve 36 toward the communication pipe 33 is transferred to the pointer valve 36 side end surface (rigid body portion) of the inner peripheral cylinder 39.
By supporting the pointer valve 36, only a slight force is applied to the inverted portion of the pointer valve 36, and the durability of the pointer valve 36 is not deteriorated.

In addition, because there is no air flow, dust is attracted and adheres to the inside of the pointer barrel 30, causing the pointer A31. Pointer barrel 3 of pointer B32
This may cause sliding failure within the pointer A31.o or stain the inner surface of the pointer tube 3o. This prevents the pointer B32 from becoming difficult to see or causing damage to the pointer valve 36. Furthermore, guideline A31. Guideline B32. Since the displacement of the pointer valve 36 is determined only by the differential pressure acting within the inner wall 37 and the spring biasing force of the pointer spring 34, the spring load of the pointer spring 34 can be easily determined.

Next, FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the pointer valve 36 is formed integrally with the pointer cover 36. The operation in this case is the same as that of the first invention, but since the pointer valve 36 is formed integrally with the pointer cover 35, the number of parts is reduced by one, and the dust collection amount display device is improved. It can be provided at low cost.

Further, by inserting the pointer valve 36 into the pointer tube 3o, airtightness between the two can be maintained, so that airtightness can be easily achieved compared to the case where the pointer lid 35 is used.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention has a valve body that isolates a vacuum pressure part and an atmospheric pressure part generated by the operation of an electric blower and is displaced by this pressure difference, and a valve body that is displaced by the pressure difference. A pointer that is displaced, a pointer spring that biases the pointer so that it starts to be displaced under a predetermined vacuum pressure, a pointer barrel that is a substantially transparent cylinder that has the pointer inside, and an airtight connection between the vacuum pressure section and the pointer barrel. By providing a communication pipe that connects the valve body and a pointer cover that airtightly attaches the valve body to the pointer tube, and by placing this valve body on the atmospheric pressure side with respect to the pointer, the pointer is displaced in accordance with the displacement of the valve body. Even if the valve body is moved, it does not cause air leakage, that is, a decrease in suction force, and therefore, the pressure at which the displacement of the valve body starts can be brought closer to atmospheric pressure than in the past, and the pointer can be displaced approximately in proportion to the amount of accumulated dust. , it is possible to maintain the durability of the pointer valve by bringing the pointer and most of the valve body into close contact with each other.

In addition, by integrally forming the valve body with the pointer lid, the number of parts can be reduced by one, and the dust collection amount display device can be provided at a lower cost. Since airtightness between the two can be maintained, airtightness can be easily achieved compared to the case where the pointer cover 35 is used.
