The dust collecting portion 30 is attached to the upper surface of the dust collecting container 31 having a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a top cover 32 having a first filter 33. The upper cover 32 is locked to the dust collecting container 31 by the movable locking portion 32a, and can be taken out from the dust collecting container 31 by the operation of the locking portion 32a. Thereby, the dust accumulated in the dust collecting container 31 can be discarded.

於集塵容器31之周面導出有前端開設流入口34a且連通 於第1吸氣路11之流入路34。於集塵容器31內設置有連續於流入路34且藉由彎曲而向下方導引氣流之流入部34b。於上部蓋32之周面導出有前端開設流出口35a且連通於第2吸氣路12之流出路35。 The front end opening inlet 34a is connected to the peripheral surface of the dust collecting container 31 and connected The inflow path 34 of the first intake passage 11 is provided.

Thereby, the inside of the dust collecting chamber 39 in which the dust collecting part 30 is accommodated is sealed. The front wall of the dust collecting chamber 39 is formed as an inclined surface, and the deterioration of the gasket caused by the sliding of the dust collecting portion 30 during pick-and-place operation can be prevented.

於本體框體2內之集塵室39之後方上部配置有控制基板14。控制基板14設置有控制清掃機器人1之各部之控制電路。於集塵室39之後方之下部配置有裝卸自如之電池13。電池13係經由充電端子4而自充電台40充電,對控制基板14、驅動輪5、轉動刷9、側刷10及電動送風機22等各部供給電力。 The control board 14 is disposed on the upper side of the dust collecting chamber 39 in the main body casing 2. The control board 14 is provided with a control circuit that controls each unit of the cleaning robot 1. A battery 13 that is detachable is disposed below the dust collecting chamber 39. The battery 13 is charged from the charging stand 40 via the charging terminal 4, and supplies electric power to each of the control board 14, the drive wheel 5, the rotating brush 9, the side brush 10, and the electric blower 22.

Further, the air flow is discharged obliquely rearward and upward from the exhaust port 7 as indicated by an arrow A3.

繼而,除圖2之外,使用圖4~圖9而進一步詳細說明馬達單元20之構成。圖4、圖5及圖6係馬達單元20之立體圖、前視圖及俯視圖。圖7係圖5及圖6中所示之馬達單元20之以VII-VII線切割之立體圖,圖8係圖5及圖6中所示之馬達 單元20之VIII-VIII線之垂直剖面側視圖。圖9係表示清掃機器人1之排氣流路周邊之構成之方塊圖。 Next, the configuration of the motor unit 20 will be described in further detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9 in addition to FIG. 4, 5, and 6 are a perspective view, a front view, and a plan view of the motor unit 20. Figure 7 is a perspective view of the motor unit 20 shown in Figures 5 and 6 cut by VII-VII, and Figure 8 is the motor shown in Figures 5 and 6. A vertical cross-sectional view of line VIII-VIII of unit 20. Fig. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the periphery of the exhaust flow path of the cleaning robot 1.

圖4~圖6中所示之馬達單元20係如上述般包括樹脂成形品之外殼21及收納於外殼21內之電動送風機22。電動送風機22由被馬達外殼22a覆蓋之渦輪風扇形成。 The motor unit 20 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 includes the outer casing 21 of the resin molded article and the electric blower 22 housed in the outer casing 21 as described above. The electric blower 22 is formed by a turbo fan covered by a motor casing 22a.

於電動送風機22之馬達外殼22a中,於軸向之一端開設有吸氣口(未圖示),且於周面之兩處開設有排氣口(未圖示)。於外殼21之前表面對向於馬達外殼22a之吸氣口而設置有開口部23。於外殼21之電動送風機22之兩側方設置有分別連通於馬達外殼22a之各排氣口之第1排氣路24a及第2排氣路24b。第1、第2排氣路24a、24b係作為電動送風機22與排氣口7之間的複數個路徑而形成之排氣流路,且連通於設置於本體框體2之上表面之排氣口7(參照圖2)。 In the motor casing 22a of the electric blower 22, an intake port (not shown) is opened at one end of the axial direction, and an exhaust port (not shown) is provided at two places on the circumferential surface. An opening 23 is provided in the front surface of the casing 21 opposite to the intake port of the motor casing 22a. The first exhaust passage 24a and the second exhaust passage 24b that communicate with the respective exhaust ports of the motor casing 22a are provided on both sides of the electric blower 22 of the casing 21. The first and second exhaust passages 24a and 24b are exhaust passages formed as a plurality of paths between the electric blower 22 and the exhaust port 7, and communicate with exhaust gas provided on the upper surface of the main body casing 2. Port 7 (refer to Figure 2).

於第1排氣路24a中配置有具有一對電極25a、25b之離子產生裝置25。對電極25a、25b施加包含交流波形或脈衝波形之電壓,將藉由電極25a、25b之電暈放電而生成之離子釋放至第1排氣路24a即排氣流路之一個路徑。 An ion generating device 25 having a pair of electrodes 25a and 25b is disposed in the first exhaust passage 24a. A voltage including an alternating current waveform or a pulse waveform is applied to the electrodes 25a and 25b, and ions generated by corona discharge of the electrodes 25a and 25b are released to one path of the first exhaust passage 24a, that is, the exhaust flow path.

對一個電極25b施加正電壓,因電暈放電而產生之氫離子與空氣中之水分鍵結而產生主要包含H+(H2O)m之正離子。對另一電極25a施加負電壓,因電暈放電而產生之氧離子與空氣中之水分鍵結而產生主要包含O2 -(H2O)n之負離子。此處,m、n為任意自然數。H+(H2O)m及O2 -(H2O)n於空氣中之浮游菌或臭味成分之表面凝集並包圍其等。 A positive voltage is applied to one electrode 25b, and hydrogen ions generated by corona discharge are bonded to moisture in the air to generate a positive ion mainly containing H + (H 2 O) m. A negative voltage is applied to the other electrode 25a, and the oxygen ions generated by the corona discharge are bonded to the moisture in the air to generate an anion mainly containing O 2 - (H 2 O) n . Here, m and n are arbitrary natural numbers. H + (H 2 O) m and O 2 - (H 2 O) n aggregate and surround the surface of the floating bacteria or odor components in the air.

並且,如式(1)~(3)所示,藉由碰撞而於微生物等之表面 上凝集生成作為活性種之[.OH](羥基自由基)或H2O2(過氧化氫),從而破壞浮游菌或臭味成分。此處,m'、n'為任意自然數。因此,藉由產生正離子及負離子並自排氣口7(參照圖2)送出,而可進行室內之除菌及除臭。 Further, as shown in the formulas (1) to (3), agglutination is formed on the surface of microorganisms or the like by collision to form an active species [. OH] (hydroxyl radical) or H 2 O 2 (hydrogen peroxide), thereby destroying the floating bacteria or odor components. Here, m' and n' are arbitrary natural numbers. Therefore, by generating positive ions and negative ions and delivering them from the exhaust port 7 (see FIG. 2), sterilization and deodorization in the room can be performed.

H+(H2O)m+O2 -(H2O)n → .OH+1/2O2+(m+n)H2O………(1) H + (H 2 O)m+O 2 - (H 2 O)n → . OH+1/2O 2 +(m+n)H 2 O......(1)

H+(H2O)m+H+(H2O)m'+O2 -(H2O)n+O2 -(H2O)n' → 2.OH+O2+(m+m'+n+n')H2O………(2) H + (H 2 O)m+H + (H 2 O)m'+O 2 - (H 2 O)n+O 2 - (H 2 O)n' → 2. OH+O 2 +(m+m'+n+n')H 2 O......(2)

H+(H2O)m+H+(H2O)m'+O2 -(H2O)n+O2 -(H2O)n' → H2O2+O2+(m+m'+n+n')H2O………(3) H + (H 2 O)m+H + (H 2 O)m'+O 2 - (H 2 O)n+O 2 - (H 2 O)n' → H 2 O 2 +O 2 +(m +m'+n+n')H 2 O.........(3)

又,第1排氣路24a係以沿自作為電動送風機22之渦輪風扇之馬達外殼22a之一排氣口之噴出方向A5a(參照圖7)延伸之方向形成。關於該渦輪風扇之噴出方向A5a即空氣之流通方向,如圖7所示般將產生正離子之電極25b較產生負離子之電極25a配置於空氣流通方向下游側。 Further, the first exhaust passage 24a is formed in a direction extending in the discharge direction A5a (see FIG. 7) of the exhaust port of one of the motor casings 22a of the turbo fan as the electric blower 22. In the discharge direction A5a of the turbo fan, that is, the flow direction of the air, as shown in Fig. 7, the electrode 25b for generating positive ions is disposed downstream of the electrode 25a for generating negative ions in the air flow direction.

另一方面,第1排氣路24b係以與自馬達外殼22a之另一排氣口之噴出方向A5b不同之方向形成。相對於朝向下方之噴出方向A5b,第1排氣路24b係向上方延伸。 On the other hand, the first exhaust passage 24b is formed in a direction different from the discharge direction A5b of the other exhaust port of the motor casing 22a. The first exhaust passage 24b extends upward with respect to the discharge direction A5b directed downward.

雖於圖4~圖8中未圖示,但如圖9所示,於第2排氣路24b中設置有第2過濾器50及隔音材51。第2過濾器50包含HEPA(High Efficiency Particulate Air,高效率空氣微粒)過濾器等,且以覆蓋第2排氣路24b之空氣流通路之方式安裝。隔音材51包含玻璃絨或胺基甲酸酯樹脂等,且貼附於第2排氣路24b之內面或外面。 Although not shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the second filter 50 and the sound insulating material 51 are provided in the second exhaust passage 24b. The second filter 50 includes a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter or the like and is attached so as to cover the air flow path of the second exhaust passage 24b. The sound insulating material 51 includes glass wool, a urethane resin, or the like, and is attached to the inner surface or the outer surface of the second exhaust passage 24b.

又,如圖9所示,於第1排氣路24a及第2排氣路24b中分 別設置有第1閥26。第1閥26係基於自控制基板14接收之控制信號而作動。藉由使用第1閥26,可對包含離子之第1排氣路24a之氣流之流量及不含離子之第2排氣路24b之氣流之流量進行調整。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the first exhaust passage 24a and the second exhaust passage 24b are divided. The first valve 26 is not provided. The first valve 26 is actuated based on a control signal received from the control board 14. By using the first valve 26, the flow rate of the air flow including the first exhaust passage 24a of the ions and the flow rate of the air flow of the second exhaust passage 24b containing no ions can be adjusted.

藉由設定,清掃機器人1可於清掃運行結束後或對電池13之充電中,於驅動電動送風機22之狀態下使第1閥26作動而對包含離子之第1排氣路24a之氣流之流量及不含離子之第2排氣路24b之氣流之流量進行調整。 By setting, the cleaning robot 1 can operate the electric blower 22 after the cleaning operation is completed or the battery 13 is driven, and the first valve 26 is actuated to flow the airflow of the first exhaust passage 24a containing the ions. The flow rate of the air flow of the second exhaust passage 24b containing no ions is adjusted.

於上述構成之清掃機器人1中,若指示清掃運行,則驅動電動送風機22、離子產生裝置25、驅動輪5、轉動刷9及側刷10。藉此,本體框體2係使轉動刷9、驅動輪5及後輪16接觸於地板F而於特定範圍內自走,並自吸入口6吸入包含地板F之塵埃之氣流。此時,藉由轉動刷9之轉動,地板F上之塵埃飛起而被導引至凹部8內。又,藉由側刷10之轉動而將吸入口6之側方之塵埃導引至吸入口6。 In the cleaning robot 1 configured as described above, when the cleaning operation is instructed, the electric blower 22, the ion generating device 25, the drive wheels 5, the rotating brush 9, and the side brush 10 are driven. Thereby, the main body casing 2 causes the rotating brush 9, the drive wheel 5, and the rear wheel 16 to come into contact with the floor F and self-propelled within a specific range, and sucks the airflow containing the dust of the floor F from the suction port 6. At this time, by the rotation of the rotating brush 9, the dust on the floor F flies and is guided into the recess 8. Further, the dust on the side of the suction port 6 is guided to the suction port 6 by the rotation of the side brush 10.

自吸入口6吸入之氣流如箭頭A1所示般於第1吸氣路11中向後方流通,並經由流入口34a而流入至集塵部30。流入集塵部30之氣流藉由第1過濾器33而捕獲塵埃,並經由流出口35a而自集塵部30流出。藉此,將塵埃收集並堆積於集塵容器31內。自集塵部30流出之氣流如箭頭A2所示般於第2吸氣路12中向前方流通,並經由開口部23而流入至馬達單元20之電動送風機22。 The airflow sucked in from the suction port 6 flows backward in the first intake passage 11 as indicated by an arrow A1, and flows into the dust collecting portion 30 via the inflow port 34a. The airflow that has flowed into the dust collecting portion 30 captures the dust by the first filter 33, and flows out from the dust collecting portion 30 via the outflow port 35a. Thereby, dust is collected and accumulated in the dust collecting container 31. The airflow flowing out of the dust collecting portion 30 flows forward in the second intake passage 12 as indicated by an arrow A2, and flows into the electric blower 22 of the motor unit 20 via the opening portion 23.

通過電動送風機22之氣流於第1排氣路24a及第2排氣路24b中流通。於第1排氣路24a中流通之氣流包含離子產生 裝置25所釋放之離子,並如箭頭A3a所示般向排氣口7流通。於第2排氣路24b中流通之氣流不包含離子而藉由第2過濾器50捕獲塵埃,並藉由隔音材51而靜音化,且如箭頭A3b所示般向排氣口7流通。 The airflow by the electric blower 22 flows through the first exhaust passage 24a and the second exhaust passage 24b. The gas flow flowing through the first exhaust passage 24a contains ion generation The ions released by the device 25 are circulated to the exhaust port 7 as indicated by the arrow A3a. The airflow flowing through the second exhaust passage 24b does not contain ions, and the dust is captured by the second filter 50, and is silenced by the sound insulating material 51, and flows to the exhaust port 7 as indicated by an arrow A3b.

繼而,自設置於本體框體2之上表面之排氣口7如箭頭A3所示般向後上方斜向地排放包含離子之氣流。藉此,進行室內之清掃,且自走之本體框體2之排氣中所包含之離子遍佈於室內而進行室內之除菌或除臭。此時,由於係自排氣口7向上方排氣,故而可防止地板F之塵埃之揚起而提高室內之潔淨度。 Then, the exhaust port 7 provided on the upper surface of the main body casing 2 discharges the air stream containing ions obliquely rearward and upward as indicated by an arrow A3. Thereby, the indoor cleaning is performed, and the ions contained in the exhaust gas of the self-propelled main body casing 2 are distributed throughout the room to perform sterilization or deodorization in the room. At this time, since the air is exhausted upward from the exhaust port 7, the dust of the floor F can be prevented from rising, and the cleanliness of the room can be improved.

又,若使驅動輪5之兩輪向相互相反之方向轉動,則本體框體2以中心線C為中心進行轉動而變向。藉此,可使本體框體2於所需之整個範圍內自走,且使其避開障礙物而自走。再者,亦可使驅動輪5之兩輪相對於前進時而反轉,從而使本體框體2後退。 When the two wheels of the drive wheel 5 are rotated in opposite directions, the main body casing 2 is rotated about the center line C to be redirected. Thereby, the main body frame 2 can be self-propelled over the entire range required, and it can be self-propelled away from the obstacle. Furthermore, the two wheels of the drive wheel 5 can be reversed with respect to the forward movement, so that the main body casing 2 can be retracted.

清掃結束後,本體框體2自走並返回至充電台40。藉此,充電端子4連接於端子部41而對電池13充電。藉由設定,清掃機器人1可於清掃運行結束後或對電池13之充電中,於驅動電動送風機22之狀態下使離子產生裝置25及第1閥26作動而對包含離子之第1排氣路24a之氣流之流量及不含離子之第2排氣路24b之氣流之流量進行調整。 After the cleaning is completed, the main body casing 2 is self-propelled and returned to the charging stand 40. Thereby, the charging terminal 4 is connected to the terminal portion 41 to charge the battery 13. By setting, the cleaning robot 1 can operate the electric blower 22 to activate the ion generating device 25 and the first valve 26 to drive the first exhaust path containing ions after the cleaning operation is completed or during charging of the battery 13. The flow rate of the air flow of 24a and the flow rate of the air flow of the second exhaust path 24b containing no ions are adjusted.

如上所述,由於清掃機器人1包括於電動送風機22與排氣口7之間由第1排氣路24a及第2排氣路24b形成之排氣流路,故而可使電動送風機22之背壓相對較低而提高吸引性 能。又,由於清掃機器人1包括向作為排氣流路之一路徑之第1排氣路24a釋放離子之離子產生裝置25,故而通過電動送風機22之氣流於第1排氣路24a中被釋放離子且自排氣口7送出至室內。因此,可提高排氣側之流速而易於將離子送出至室內。 As described above, since the cleaning robot 1 includes the exhaust flow path formed by the first exhaust passage 24a and the second exhaust passage 24b between the electric blower 22 and the exhaust port 7, the back pressure of the electric blower 22 can be made. Relatively low and attractive can. Further, since the cleaning robot 1 includes the ion generating device 25 that releases ions to the first exhaust passage 24a which is one of the exhaust flow paths, the airflow by the electric blower 22 is released in the first exhaust passage 24a and It is sent out from the exhaust port 7 to the room. Therefore, the flow rate on the exhaust side can be increased and the ions can be easily sent out to the room.

再者,若形成複數個排氣流路之路徑,則相較於一個排氣路徑之情形,複數個中之每一個排氣路徑之截面積變小。藉此,可進一步加快排氣之流速。並且,藉由以於該排氣路徑之一者中可釋放離子之方式設置離子產生裝置,而可使離子飛散至更遠處。 Further, when a plurality of paths of the exhaust flow paths are formed, the cross-sectional area of each of the plurality of exhaust paths becomes smaller as compared with the case of one exhaust path. Thereby, the flow rate of the exhaust gas can be further accelerated. Also, by providing the ion generating means in such a manner that ions can be released in one of the exhaust paths, the ions can be scattered further.

又,由於清掃機器人1於排氣流路之複數個路徑中未釋放離子之第2排氣路24b中設置有第2過濾器50,故而不含離子之氣流通過第2過濾器50而自排氣口7排出。因此,可提高清掃機器人1之排氣之潔淨化而不會因過濾器消滅離子。 Further, since the cleaning robot 1 is provided with the second filter 50 in the second exhaust passage 24b in which the ions are not released in the plurality of paths of the exhaust flow path, the air stream containing no ions is self-discharged through the second filter 50. The port 7 is discharged. Therefore, the cleaning of the exhaust gas of the cleaning robot 1 can be improved without destroying the ions by the filter.

又,由於清掃機器人1於排氣流路之複數個路徑中未釋放離子之第2排氣路24b中設置有隔音材51,故而不含離子之氣流通過設置有隔音材51之部位並自排氣口7排出。藉此,可提高清掃機器人1之排氣之靜音化而不會因隔音材消滅離子。 Further, since the cleaning robot 1 is provided with the sound insulating material 51 in the second exhaust passage 24b in which the ions are not released in the plurality of paths of the exhaust flow path, the air stream containing no ions passes through the portion where the sound insulating material 51 is provided and self-discharges. The port 7 is discharged. Thereby, the muffling of the exhaust gas of the cleaning robot 1 can be improved without destroying ions by the sound insulating material.

又,由於清掃機器人1包括可對排氣流路之複數個路徑中包含離子之第1排氣路24a之氣流之流量及不含離子之第2排氣路24b之氣流之流量進行調整的第1閥26,故而可藉由使第1閥26作動而對自排氣口7排出之氣流的包含離子之 氣流之流量及不含離子之氣流之流量進行調整。因此,可對通過排氣口7而釋放至室內之離子之量與潔淨化及靜音化得以提高之排氣量進行調整。 Further, the cleaning robot 1 includes a flow rate for adjusting the flow rate of the airflow of the first exhaust passage 24a including the ions in the plurality of paths of the exhaust flow passage and the flow rate of the airflow of the second exhaust passage 24b not containing the ions. Since the first valve 26 is actuated, the airflow discharged from the exhaust port 7 can contain ions. The flow rate of the gas stream and the flow rate of the gas stream without ions are adjusted. Therefore, the amount of ions released into the room through the exhaust port 7 and the amount of exhaust gas which is improved in cleaning and quieting can be adjusted.

又,由於清掃機器人1中電動送風機22包含渦輪風扇,且排氣流路之複數個路徑中釋放離子之第1排氣路24a係以沿渦輪風扇之噴出方向A5a延伸之方向形成,故而第1排氣路24a自設置有離子產生裝置25之部位無障礙地順暢地延伸至排氣口7為止。因此,可減少離子之消滅,且可使離子飛散至更遠處。 Further, in the cleaning robot 1, the electric blower 22 includes a turbo fan, and the first exhaust passage 24a that releases ions in a plurality of paths of the exhaust passage is formed in a direction extending in the discharge direction A5a of the turbo fan, so that the first The exhaust passage 24a extends smoothly from the portion where the ion generating device 25 is provided to the exhaust port 7 without any trouble. Therefore, the elimination of ions can be reduced, and the ions can be scattered to a greater distance.

再者,關於離子產生裝置25,已知負離子相較於正離子而產生量較多、壽命較長。因此,清掃機器人1將離子產生裝置25之產生正離子之電極25b相較於產生負離子之電極25a而配置於空氣流通方向下游側,故而產生正離子之電極25b相較於產生負離子之電極25a更靠近排氣口7。因此,可易於將負離子、正離子一併送出至室內。 Further, regarding the ion generating device 25, it is known that the negative ions are generated in a larger amount and have a longer life than the positive ions. Therefore, the cleaning robot 1 arranges the positive ion-producing electrode 25b of the ion generating device 25 on the downstream side in the air flow direction with respect to the negative ion-producing electrode 25a, so that the positive-ion electrode 25b is more positive than the negative-electrode-forming electrode 25a. Close to the exhaust port 7. Therefore, it is easy to send negative ions and positive ions together into the room.

並且,根據本發明之上述實施形態之構成,清掃機器人1中排氣流路由複數個路徑形成,且於該第1排氣路24a中藉由離子產生裝置25而釋放離子且自排氣口7送出至室內。藉此,可使電動送風機22之背壓相對較低而提高吸引性能,且可提高排氣側之流速而易於將離子送出至室內。因此,可提供一種藉由有效之吸引而提高清掃性能,且可進而謀求提高室內之除臭效果或除菌效果的清掃機器人1。又,可提供一種能夠提高排氣之潔淨化或靜音化而不會因第2過濾器50或隔音材51消滅離子之清掃機器人1。 Further, according to the configuration of the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the exhaust flow of the cleaning robot 1 is formed by a plurality of paths, and ions are released by the ion generating device 25 in the first exhaust passage 24a and from the exhaust port 7 Send it indoors. Thereby, the back pressure of the electric blower 22 can be made relatively low to improve the suction performance, and the flow rate on the exhaust side can be increased to easily send ions to the room. Therefore, it is possible to provide the cleaning robot 1 which can improve the cleaning performance by effective suction, and can further improve the deodorizing effect or the sterilization effect in the room. Moreover, it is possible to provide the cleaning robot 1 which can improve the cleaning or quietening of the exhaust gas without destroying the ions by the second filter 50 or the sound insulating material 51.

繼而,使用圖10~圖15對本發明之第2實施形態之清掃機器人進行說明。圖10係清掃機器人之馬達單元之立體圖,圖11係清掃機器人之馬達單元之前視圖,圖12係圖11中所示之馬達單元之以XII-XII線切割之立體圖,圖13係圖11中所示之馬達單元之XIII-XIII線之垂直剖面側視圖,圖14係清掃機器人之垂直剖面部分側視圖,圖15係表示清掃機器人之排氣流路周邊之構成的方塊圖。再者,由於該實施形態之基本構成與使用圖1~圖9而說明之上述第1實施形態相同,故而對與第1實施形態共通之構成要素標註與前文相同之符號,省略圖式之記載及其說明。 Next, a cleaning robot according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 15 . 10 is a perspective view of the motor unit of the cleaning robot, FIG. 11 is a front view of the motor unit of the cleaning robot, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the motor unit shown in FIG. 11 cut by XII-XII line, and FIG. 13 is a view of FIG. A vertical cross-sectional side view of the XIII-XIII line of the motor unit is shown, FIG. 14 is a side view of a vertical section of the cleaning robot, and FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the periphery of the exhaust flow path of the cleaning robot. In addition, since the basic configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as the above, and the description of the drawings is omitted. And its description.

第2實施形態之清掃機器人1係如圖10~圖12所示般於第1排氣路24a之下部設置有向後方開口之循環路27。循環路27係開口面27a形成為沿凹部8(參照圖13及圖14)之壁面之曲面。藉此,如圖14所示,循環路27經由設置於凹部8之壁面之孔部8a而連通於凹部8,且以向轉動刷9吹送包含離子之氣流之方向連接於凹部8。並且,循環路27將流通於第1排氣路24a之包含離子之氣流之一部分導引至吸氣側。即,循環路27作為如下循環流路而構成,該循環流路連通於作為吸入口6與集塵部30之間之吸氣流路的凹部8及第1吸氣路11、以及作為電動送風機22與排氣口7之間之排氣流路的第1排氣路24a,且將包含離子之氣流之一部分導引至集塵部30。 As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the cleaning robot 1 of the second embodiment is provided with a circulation path 27 that opens rearward in the lower portion of the first exhaust passage 24a. The circulation path 27 is formed on the opening surface 27a as a curved surface along the wall surface of the concave portion 8 (see FIGS. 13 and 14). As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, the circulation path 27 communicates with the concave portion 8 via the hole portion 8a provided in the wall surface of the concave portion 8, and is connected to the concave portion 8 in a direction in which the airflow containing ions is blown toward the rotating brush 9. Further, the circulation path 27 guides a part of the air stream containing ions flowing through the first exhaust passage 24a to the intake side. In other words, the circulation path 27 is configured as a circulation flow path that communicates with the concave portion 8 and the first intake passage 11 that are the intake passages between the suction port 6 and the dust collecting portion 30, and as an electric blower. The first exhaust passage 24a of the exhaust passage between the exhaust port 7 and the exhaust port 7 is guided to a dust collecting portion 30 by a part of the air stream containing ions.

雖於圖10~圖14中未圖示,但如圖15所示,於第1排氣路24a及循環路27中分別設置有第2閥28。第2閥28係基於自 控制基板14接收之控制信號而作動。藉由使用第2閥28,可對導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量及導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量進行調整。 Although not shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, as shown in FIG. 15, the second valve 28 is provided in each of the first exhaust passage 24a and the circulation passage 27. The second valve 28 is based on self The control signal received by the control substrate 14 is actuated. By using the second valve 28, the flow rate of the gas stream containing ions guided to the exhaust port 7 side and the flow rate of the gas stream containing ions guided to the circulation path 27 can be adjusted.

藉由設定,清掃機器人1可於清掃運行結束後,以於驅動電動送風機22之狀態下導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量大於導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量之方式使第2閥28作動。 By setting, after the cleaning operation is completed, the flow rate of the air containing the ions guided to the circulation path 27 in the state in which the electric blower 22 is driven is larger than the flow rate containing the ions guided to the exhaust port 7 side. The flow rate is such that the second valve 28 is actuated.

又,藉由設定,清掃機器人1亦可於對電池13之充電中,使第2閥28作動而對導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量及導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量進行調整。 Further, by setting, the cleaning robot 1 can also operate the second valve 28 to control the flow rate of the air containing the ion to the exhaust port 7 side and guide it to the circulation path 27 during charging of the battery 13. The flow rate of the gas stream containing ions is adjusted.

於上述構成之清掃機器人1中,若指示清掃運行,則驅動電動送風機22、離子產生裝置25、驅動輪5、轉動刷9及側刷10。藉此,本體框體2一面於特定範圍內自走一面自吸入口6吸入包含地板F之塵埃之氣流,從而將塵埃捕獲至集塵部30中。自集塵部30流出之氣流通過電動送風機22而於第1排氣路24a及第2排氣路24b中流通。 In the cleaning robot 1 configured as described above, when the cleaning operation is instructed, the electric blower 22, the ion generating device 25, the drive wheels 5, the rotating brush 9, and the side brush 10 are driven. Thereby, the main body casing 2 sucks the airflow containing the dust of the floor F from the suction port 6 while moving in a certain range, thereby trapping the dust into the dust collecting portion 30. The airflow that has flowed out of the dust collecting unit 30 passes through the electric blower 22 and flows through the first exhaust passage 24a and the second exhaust passage 24b.

於流通於第1排氣路24a之氣流中含有離子產生裝置25所釋放之離子。並且,自設置於本體框體2之上表面之排氣口7如箭頭A3所示般向後上方斜向地排放包含離子之氣流。 The ions released by the ion generating device 25 are contained in the gas stream flowing through the first exhaust passage 24a. Further, the exhaust port 7 provided on the upper surface of the main body casing 2 discharges the air stream containing ions obliquely rearward and upward as indicated by an arrow A3.

於第1排氣路24a中流通之氣流之一部分係如箭頭A4所示般經由循環路27而導引至凹部8。因此,於自吸入口6導引至第1吸氣路11之氣流內含有離子。 A portion of the airflow flowing through the first exhaust passage 24a is guided to the recess 8 via the circulation passage 27 as indicated by an arrow A4. Therefore, ions are contained in the gas flow guided from the suction port 6 to the first intake passage 11.

清掃結束後,本體框體2自走並返回至充電台40。藉此,充電端子4連接於端子部41而對電池13充電。藉由設定,清掃機器人1可於清掃運行結束後或對電池13之充電中,於驅動電動送風機22之狀態下使離子產生裝置25及第2閥28作動而對導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量及導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量進行調整。 After the cleaning is completed, the main body casing 2 is self-propelled and returned to the charging stand 40. Thereby, the charging terminal 4 is connected to the terminal portion 41 to charge the battery 13. By setting, the cleaning robot 1 can drive the ion generator 25 and the second valve 28 to the side of the exhaust port 7 while the electric blower 22 is being driven after the cleaning operation is completed or during charging of the battery 13. The flow rate of the gas stream containing ions and the flow rate of the gas stream containing ions guided to the circulation path 27 are adjusted.

如上所述,由於清掃機器人1包括連通於凹部8及第1吸氣路11以及第1排氣路24a而將包含離子之氣流之一部分導引至集塵部30的循環路27,故而包含離子之氣流之一部分通過循環路27、凹部8及第1吸氣路11而導引至集塵部30。因此,可進行堆積於集塵部30之塵埃之除臭或除菌,且可進而抑制靜電之產生。 As described above, since the cleaning robot 1 includes the circulation path 27 that guides one of the air streams including the ions to the dust collecting portion 30 in communication with the concave portion 8, the first air suction path 11, and the first air flow path 24a, the cleaning robot 1 includes ions. One of the air flows is guided to the dust collecting portion 30 through the circulation path 27, the recess 8 and the first intake path 11. Therefore, the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30 can be deodorized or sterilized, and the generation of static electricity can be further suppressed.

又,由於清掃機器人1包括可對導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量及導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量進行調整的第2閥28,故而可對通過排氣口7而釋放至室內之離子之量及通過循環路27、凹部8及第1吸氣路11而導引至集塵部30之離子之量進行調整。因此,可以所需之離子量、時序將氣流導引至集塵部30,且可提高堆積於集塵部30之塵埃之除臭或除菌、抑制靜電之產生之作用。 Further, since the cleaning robot 1 includes the second valve 28 that can adjust the flow rate of the air stream containing the ions guided to the exhaust port 7 side and the flow rate of the air stream containing the ions guided to the circulation path 27, the cleaning valve 1 can be passed. The amount of ions released into the chamber by the exhaust port 7 and the amount of ions guided to the dust collecting portion 30 through the circulation path 27, the recessed portion 8, and the first intake path 11 are adjusted. Therefore, the airflow can be guided to the dust collecting portion 30 at a desired ion amount and timing, and the effect of deodorizing or sterilizing the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30 and suppressing the generation of static electricity can be enhanced.

又,由於清掃機器人1係於清掃運行結束後,於驅動電動送風機22之狀態下第2閥28以導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量大於導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量之方式作動,故而可對廢棄前之塵埃重點地吹送包含離子之氣流。因此,可提高對廢棄前之塵埃除臭或除 菌、抑制靜電之產生之作用,並可防止於塵埃之廢棄操作中臭氣充滿室內、或塵埃飛散之情形。 Further, since the cleaning robot 1 is in the state where the electric blower 22 is driven, the flow rate of the air containing the ions guided to the circulation path 27 by the second valve 28 is larger than the guide to the exhaust port 7 side. The flow of the ion stream is operated in such a manner that the air containing the ions is focused on the dust before disposal. Therefore, it is possible to improve the deodorization or removal of dust before disposal. The bacteria can suppress the generation of static electricity, and can prevent the odor from filling the room or the dust scattering during the dust disposal operation.

又,由於清掃機器人1係於對電池13之充電中,第2閥28對導引至排氣口7側之包含離子之氣流之流量及導引至循環路27之包含離子之氣流之流量進行調整,故而可於充電中對釋放至室內之離子之量及導引至集塵部30之離子之量進行調整。因此,可於充電中以所需之離子量、時序而將氣流導引至集塵部30,並可提高堆積於集塵部30之塵埃之除臭或除菌、抑制靜電之產生之作用。 Further, since the cleaning robot 1 is charging the battery 13, the second valve 28 performs the flow rate of the air stream containing the ions guided to the exhaust port 7 side and the flow rate of the air stream containing the ions guided to the circulation path 27. Since it is adjusted, the amount of ions released into the chamber and the amount of ions guided to the dust collecting portion 30 can be adjusted during charging. Therefore, the airflow can be guided to the dust collecting portion 30 at the required ion amount and timing during charging, and the effect of deodorizing or sterilizing the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30 and suppressing the generation of static electricity can be enhanced.

並且,根據本發明之上述實施形態之構成,包含離子之氣流之一部分通過循環路27、凹部8及第1吸氣路11而導引至集塵部30。藉此,可進行堆積於集塵部30之塵埃之除臭或除菌,並可進而抑制靜電之產生。因此,可提供一種能夠謀求提高室內之除臭效果或除菌效果,並可解除廢棄堆積於集塵部30之塵埃時之使用者之麻煩的清掃機器人1。 Further, according to the configuration of the above-described embodiment of the present invention, a part of the air stream including the ions is guided to the dust collecting portion 30 through the circulation path 27, the concave portion 8, and the first air suction path 11. Thereby, the deodorization or sterilization of the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30 can be performed, and the generation of static electricity can be further suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide the cleaning robot 1 which is capable of improving the deodorizing effect or the sterilization effect in the room and releasing the trouble of the user who has accumulated the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30.

繼而,使用圖16對本發明之第3實施形態之清掃機器人進行說明。圖16係清掃機器人之垂直剖面部分側視圖。再者,由於該實施形態之基本構成與上述第1及第2實施形態相同,故而對與該等實施形態共通之構成要素標註與前文相同之符號,省略圖式之記載及其說明。 Next, a cleaning robot according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 16 . Figure 16 is a side elevational view, partially in section, of the cleaning robot. In addition, since the basic configuration of the embodiment is the same as that of the above-described first and second embodiments, the same components as those of the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the drawings and the description thereof are omitted.

第3實施形態之清掃機器人1係如圖16所示般,循環路29經由其開口面29a及設置於凹部8之壁面之孔部8b而連通於凹部8。並且,循環路29係設置於較配置有轉動刷9之部位更前方,並以通過吸入口6而向地板上吹送包含離子之氣 流之方向連接於凹部8。 In the cleaning robot 1 of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, the circulation path 29 communicates with the concave portion 8 via the opening surface 29a and the hole portion 8b provided in the wall surface of the concave portion 8. Further, the circulation path 29 is disposed further forward than the portion where the rotating brush 9 is disposed, and blows the gas containing the ions to the floor through the suction port 6. The direction of the flow is connected to the recess 8.

如此根據第3實施形態之構成,包含離子之氣流通過吸入口6而吹送至地板上之後,通過凹部8及第1吸氣路11而導引至集塵部30。藉此,離子被導引至集塵部30,且亦被散佈於地板上。其結果,除堆積於集塵部30之塵埃以外,對於地板亦可提高除臭或除菌、抑制靜電之產生之作用。 According to the configuration of the third embodiment, the air stream containing ions is blown to the floor through the suction port 6, and then guided to the dust collecting portion 30 through the concave portion 8 and the first air suction path 11. Thereby, the ions are guided to the dust collecting portion 30 and are also scattered on the floor. As a result, in addition to the dust deposited on the dust collecting portion 30, the effect of deodorizing or sterilizing and suppressing the generation of static electricity can be enhanced for the floor.

以上,雖已對本發明之實施形態進行了說明,但本發明之範圍並不限定於此,可於不脫離發明之主旨之範圍內加以各種變更而實施。 The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
