Abstract

A housing where a filter (21) is installed comprises a separation housing (31) and a separation housing (41). A portion (35) to be latched is provided on the separation housing (31), and a portion (47) to be latched is provided on the separation housing (41). The portion (35) to be latched is latched at a latching portion (51) of a cleaner main body where a filter device (12) is received. The portion (47) to be latched is latched at another latching portion (52) of the cleaner main body. A projection portion (56) is formed on the another latching portion (52). When the another latching portion (52) is at a position corresponding to a non-latched state of the portion (47) to be latched of the separation housing (41), the projection portion (56) comes into contact with a press portion (55) on the inner face of a cover portion (54) of the cleaner main body and brings the cover portion (54) into an open state. This can prevent the housing where the filter (21) is installed from being in an open state in the cleaner main body, and also can prevent the electric cleaner from being used with the housing not being appropriately latched in the cleaner main body.

Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known an electric vacuum cleaner that removes dust in a sucked air with a paper pack. In recent years, various types of vacuum cleaners employing a cyclone dust collection method have been proposed in consideration of a reduction in suction force due to use and an amount of paper pack used (consumption of garbage). . Such a vacuum cleaner is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-85159 (published on April 7, 1998). In this cyclone dust collection method, the air sucked by the electric blower is swirled, the dust contained in the air is separated by centrifugal force generated at the time of swirling, and the remaining air is exhausted as it is, The suction power can be maintained to some extent. Dust separated from air is collected as dust in dust cups, and only dust can be finally discarded, eliminating the need for paper packs. By the way, in a vacuum cleaner adopting such a cyclone dust collecting method, it is necessary to remove dust (particularly fine dust) remaining in the air even after the above-mentioned centrifugal separation, and to remove air discharged from the cyclone dust collecting portion. A configuration is known in which air is further purified by passing the air through a filter. Hereinafter, this type of vacuum cleaner will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15.

一方、 分離筐体 1 2 2 bには、 分離筐体 1 2 2 aに対する固定およびその解除 を行う固定解除部 1 2 7が形成されている。 この固定解除部 1 2 7は、 分離筐体 1 2 2 a側に設けられた凸部 1 2 8が嵌め込まれる固定孔 1 2 9を有している。 したがって、 分離筐体 1 2 2 bを分離筐体 1 2 2 aに貼り合わせる方向に回動さ せて、 凸部 1 2 8を固定孔 1 2 9に嵌め込むことによ り、 筐体 1 2 2を閉状態と することができる。 一方、 固定孔 1 2 9を若干引き上げる力 も しくは凸部 1 2 8を押し込むことにより、 凸部 1 2 8 と固定孔 1 2 9 との嵌め込みを解除し、 ッ マミ 1 3 0を持って分離筐体 1 2 2 bを上記とは逆方向に回動させることにより 、 筐体 1 2 2を開状態とすることができる。 On the other hand, the separated housing 1 2 2 b is fixed to the separated housing 1 2 2 a and released. A fixing release portion 127 for performing the following is formed. The fixing releasing portion 127 has a fixing hole 129 into which the convex portion 128 provided on the separated casing 122 a side is fitted. Therefore, by rotating the separation housing 1 2 2 b in the direction in which the separation housing 1 2 2 b is bonded to the separation housing 1 2 2 a and fitting the projections 1 2 8 into the fixing holes 1 2 9, the housing 1 22 can be closed. On the other hand, by slightly pulling up the fixing hole 12 9 or pushing in the convex portion 128, the fitting between the convex portion 128 and the fixing hole 129 is released, and the knob 130 is held. By rotating the separation housing 122 b in the opposite direction to the above, the housing 122 can be opened.
ところが、 上記したフィルタ装置 1 1 2の構成では、 掃除機本体 1 0 1の係止 部 1 1 3 a . 1 1 3 bによって係止される被係止部 （端部 1 2 6 a * 1 2 6 b ) が両方とも、 分離筐体 1 2 2 aに形成されているため、 掃除機本体 1 0 1内では 、 一方の分離筐体 1 2 2 aのみが掃除機本体 1 0 1に係止され、 他方の分離筐体 1 2 2 bは、 掃除機本体 1 0 1に係止されない状態となる。  However, in the configuration of the filter device 1 12 described above, the locked portion (end portion 1 26 a * 1) locked by the locking portion 113 b of the cleaner body 101. 26 b) are both formed in the separate casing 122a, so only one of the separate casings 122a is involved in the main body 101 of the cleaner. Is stopped, and the other separated housing 1 2 2 b is not locked by the cleaner main body 101.
このため、 他方の分離筐体 1 2 2 bが、 掃除機本体 1 0 1内への収容時には固 定解除部 1 2 7によ り分離筐体 1 2 2 aに固定されていたと しても、 使用による 電動送風機 1 1 1の振動等により.、 その固定が解除されてしまい、 掃除機本体 1 0 1内部で筐体 1 2 2が開状態となる場合がある。 その場合には、 フィルタ装置 1 1 2に供給された空気が、 開状態となった筐体 1 2 2の隙間から外部に漏れる ので、 上記空気に含まれる塵埃をフィルタ 1 2 1 にて除去することができないと いう問題が生ずる。  For this reason, even if the other separated housing 1 2 2b is fixed to the separated housing 1 22 a by the fixing release section 1 27 when housed in the cleaner body 101, Due to the vibration of the electric blower 111 caused by use, the fixing may be released, and the housing 122 may be opened inside the cleaner body 101 in some cases. In this case, the air supplied to the filter device 112 leaks to the outside through the gap between the opened casings 122, so the dust contained in the air is removed by the filter 122. The problem is that you cannot do that.
また、 フィルタ装置 1 1 2を用いる上記従来の電気掃除機では、 筐体 1 2 2が 完全に閉状態となっていない場合でも、 そのよ うな状態のままフィルタ装置 1 1 2を掃除機本体 1 0 1内に収容することが可能な構造となっている。 そのため、 使用者がこれに気付かずに電気掃除機を使用してしま う と、 フィルタ装置 1 1 2 に供給された空気が、 やはり、 開状態となった筐体 1 2 2の隙間から外部に漏れ るので、 上記と同様に、 上記空気に含まれる塵埃をフィルタ 1 2 1にて除去する ことができないという問題が生ずる。 発明の開示 本発明は、 上記の問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、 その目的は、 掃除機本体内に収容された後は、 フィルタが装填される筐体が上記本体内部で開 状態となることがなく、 空気中に含まれる塵埃を上記フィルタにて確実に除去す ることができる集塵装置およびそれを備えた電気掃除機を提供することにある。 また、 本発明の他の目的は、 フィルタが装填される筐体が開状態となっている 場合に、 その状態のまま筐体を掃除機本体内に収容すれば、 使用者に何らかの注 意を促すことができ、 これにより、 使用者による電気掃除機の誤使用を未然に防 止して、 空気中に含まれる塵埃を上記フィルタにて確実に除去することができる 集塵装置およびそれを備えた電気掃除機を提供することにある。 Further, in the above-described conventional vacuum cleaner using the filter device 112, even when the housing 122 is not completely closed, the filter device 112 is kept in such a state while the vacuum cleaner body 1 is not closed. It has a structure that can be accommodated in 01. Therefore, if the user uses the vacuum cleaner without noticing this, the air supplied to the filter device 112 will also be discharged to the outside through the gap of the housing 122 that has been opened. As a result, the dust contained in the air cannot be removed by the filter 121 as described above. Disclosure of the invention SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is that, after being housed in a vacuum cleaner main body, a housing in which a filter is loaded is opened inside the main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dust collector capable of surely removing dust contained in the air with the filter, and a vacuum cleaner having the dust collector. Another object of the present invention is to provide the user with some precautions if the housing in which the filter is mounted is in the open state and the housing is housed in the cleaner body in that state. This can prevent the user from misusing the vacuum cleaner, and can surely remove dust contained in the air with the filter. To provide a vacuum cleaner.
本発明によれば、 フィルタが装填される筐体が、 互いに分離可能な第 1分離筐 体と第 2分離筐体とからなつている。 第 1分離筐体および第 2分離筐体は、 例え ば、 同一の回動軸に軸支され、 互いに回動できるようになつていてもよいし、 互 いの平行移動により離接できるようになっていてもよい。  According to the present invention, the housing in which the filter is mounted is composed of the first separation housing and the second separation housing that can be separated from each other. For example, the first separation housing and the second separation housing may be rotatably supported by the same rotation shaft and may be rotatable with each other, or may be separated from each other by parallel translation. It may be.
このとき、 本発明では、 第 1分離筐体および第 2分離筐体の両方が、 収容体に 係止される被係止部を備えているので、 当該装置を収容する収容体 （例えば電気 掃除機本体） に筐体を収容したときには、 第 1分離筐体および第 2分離筐体の両 方が、 上記の各被係止部を介して収容体に係止される。 これにより、 収容体内で は、 第 1分離筐体および第 2分離筐体の両方が移動できない状態 （回動もしくは 平行移動できない状態） となる。  At this time, according to the present invention, since both the first separation housing and the second separation housing are provided with the locked portions that are locked to the housing, the housing (for example, electric cleaning) housing the device is provided. When the housing is housed in the main body of the machine, both the first separation housing and the second separation housing are locked to the housing via the above-described locked portions. As a result, in the housing, both the first separation housing and the second separation housing cannot be moved (rotation or parallel movement is not possible).
したがって、 たとえ収容体が何らかの原因で振動しても、 それによつて第 1分 離筐体と第 2分離筐体とが筐体の収容時の状態から離間することがなく、 それゆ え、 筐体に供給される空気が筐体外部に漏れることがない。 その結果、 筐体の収 容体への収容後は、 確実に、 筐体に供給される空気に含まれる塵埃を筐体内のフ ィルタにて除去することができる。  Therefore, even if the housing vibrates for some reason, the first separation housing and the second separation housing do not separate from the state when the housing is housed. Air supplied to the body does not leak out of the housing. As a result, after the housing is stored in the container, dust contained in the air supplied to the housing can be reliably removed by the filter in the housing.
また、 本発明の集塵装置を収容する収容体と電動送風機とを備えた電気掃除機 を構成すれば、 収容体内での集塵漏れのない、 信頼性の高い電気掃除機を提供す ることができる。  In addition, if a vacuum cleaner including a housing accommodating the dust collection device of the present invention and an electric blower is configured, a highly reliable vacuum cleaner that does not leak dust inside the housing can be provided. Can be.
なお、 本発明の集塵装置は、 例えば、 電動送風機により吸引した空気を髙速旋 回させることによって塵埃を遠心分離するサイク口ン集塵機の後段に適用するこ とが可能であり、 また、 サイクロン集塵機を用いずに、 電動送風機により、 直接 、 上記集塵装置を介して空気を吸引する方式の電気掃除機にも、 勿論、 適用可能 である。 The dust collector of the present invention can be applied, for example, to a stage subsequent to a cycle dust collector that centrifugally separates dust by rotating air sucked by an electric blower at a high speed. The present invention is also applicable to a vacuum cleaner of a type in which air is directly sucked through the above-mentioned dust collector by an electric blower without using a cyclone dust collector.
また、 本発明では、 上記収容体の蓋部内面には、 収容体の係止部 （回動可能な 第 2係止部） が第 2分離筐体の被係止部を係止する回動位置にあるときに、 その 係止を解除する回動方向への上記係止部の回動を阻止するように、 収容体に対す る蓋部の閉状態で上記係止部を押圧する押圧部が形成されている。 したがって、 蓋部の閉状態では、 押圧部の押圧により、 上記係止部が係止解除の方向に回動で きない状態となるので、 一旦、 集塵装置を収容体に収容して、 蓋部を閉じてしま えば、 その後は、 収容体内で筐体が開状態となることはない。 よって、 掃除機の 使用中は、 集塵装置の筐体に供給される空気が筐体外に漏れるのを確実に防止す ることができ、 上記空気に含まれる塵埃を筐体内のフィルタにて確実に除去する ことができる。  Further, in the present invention, the locking portion (the rotatable second locking portion) of the container is provided on the inner surface of the lid portion of the container so that the locked portion of the second separated housing is locked. A pressing portion for pressing the locking portion in a closed state with respect to the container so as to prevent the locking portion from rotating in the rotation direction for releasing the locking when in the position. Is formed. Therefore, in the closed state of the lid, the locking portion cannot rotate in the unlocking direction due to the pressing of the pressing portion. Once the part is closed, the housing will not be opened in the container thereafter. Therefore, during use of the vacuum cleaner, it is possible to reliably prevent the air supplied to the housing of the dust collecting device from leaking out of the housing, and to reliably remove the dust contained in the air with the filter in the housing. Can be removed.
そして、 さらに、 本発明では、 上記係止部には、 当該係止部が収容体に対する 集塵装置の非係止状態に対応する回動位置にあるときに、 上記押圧部と当接する ことによって蓋部を開状態とさせる突起部が形成されている。 ここで、 上記係止 部が上記回動位置にあるときとは、 例えば、 筐体が開状態となっているために、 集塵装置を適切な位置で収容体内に収容することができず、 上記係止部が上記被 係止部を係止できない状態にあるときを想定することができる。 このようなとき には、 上記押圧部と上記突起部とが当接することによって蓋部が開状態となるの で、 掃除機の使用者に掃除機の誤使用を警告することができ、 そのような誤使用 を未然に防止して、 集塵装置に供給される空気中に含まれる塵埃を確実に除去す ることができる。 図面の簡単な説明  Further, in the present invention, when the locking portion is in a rotation position corresponding to a non-locking state of the dust collecting device with respect to the container, the locking portion contacts the pressing portion. A projection for opening the lid is formed. Here, when the locking portion is in the rotation position, for example, because the housing is in the open state, the dust collector cannot be stored in the housing at an appropriate position, It can be assumed that the locking portion cannot lock the locked portion. In such a case, the lid portion is opened by the contact between the pressing portion and the projection portion, so that the user of the vacuum cleaner can be warned of a misuse of the vacuum cleaner, and such By preventing such misuse, dust contained in the air supplied to the dust collector can be reliably removed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
〔実施の形態 1〕  [Embodiment 1]
本発明の実施の一形態について、 図 1 A、 図 1 Bないし図 6に基づいて説明す れば、 以下の通りである。  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B to 6.
図 2は、 本発明に係る電気掃除機の概略の構成を示している。 本発明の電気掃 除機は、 掃除機本体 1 と、 ホース 2と、 サイクロン集塵機 3と、 接続パイプ 4と 、 吸込口体 5 とを備えている。 FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of a vacuum cleaner according to the present invention. The electric sweeper of the present invention includes a cleaner body 1, a hose 2, a cyclone dust collector 3, and a connection pipe 4. And a suction port body 5.
掃除機本体 1 は、 図 3に示すよ うに、 電動送風機 1 1 と、 フィルタ装置 1 2 ( 集塵装置） とを収容する収容体である。 電動送風機 1 1は、 サイクロン集塵機 3 およびフィルタ装置 1 2を介して、 塵埃を含む空気を吸引するものである。 フィ ルタ装置 1 2は、 サイクロン集塵機 3から供給される空気に含まれる塵埃を除去 する。 なお、 フィルタ装置 1 2は、 本発明の最も特徴的な部分であり、 その詳細 については後述する。  As shown in FIG. 3, the vacuum cleaner main body 1 is a housing that houses an electric blower 11 and a filter device 12 (a dust collector). The electric blower 11 suctions air containing dust through the cyclone dust collector 3 and the filter device 12. The filter device 12 removes dust contained in the air supplied from the cyclone dust collector 3. The filter device 12 is the most characteristic part of the present invention, and the details will be described later.
ホース 2は、 サイクロン集塵機 3から掃除機本体 1のフィルタ装置 1 2に空気 を供給するための連通路となるものであり、 あらゆる方向に曲げることのできる 蛇腹の筒で構成されている。  The hose 2 serves as a communication passage for supplying air from the cyclone dust collector 3 to the filter device 12 of the cleaner body 1, and is constituted by a bellows tube that can be bent in any direction.
サイクロン集塵機 3は、 電動送風機 1 1 によって吸引した空気を旋回させ、 旋 回時に生ずる遠心力によって上記空気中に含まれる塵埃を分離する。 上記空気中 から遠心分離された塵埃は、 集塵機本体に対して取り外し可能なダス トカップ （ 図示せず） に溜められ、 最後は溜められた塵埃だけがゴミ と して捨てられる。 接続パイプ 4は、 吸込口体 5から吸引した空気をサイクロン集塵機 3に供給す るための円筒状のパイプである。 吸込口体 5は、 床面と対向する位置に吸込口を 有しており、 この吸込口から空気が吸引される。  The cyclone dust collector 3 turns the air sucked by the electric blower 11 and separates the dust contained in the air by centrifugal force generated at the time of turning. The dust centrifuged from the air is collected in a dust cup (not shown) that can be removed from the dust collector body, and only the collected dust is finally discarded as garbage. The connection pipe 4 is a cylindrical pipe for supplying the air sucked from the suction port body 5 to the cyclone dust collector 3. The suction port body 5 has a suction port at a position facing the floor surface, and air is sucked from the suction port.
上記の構成において、 電動送風機 1 1が駆動されると、 塵埃を含んだ空気が吸 込口体 5から吸引され、 接続パイプ 4を介してサイクロン集塵機 3に供給される 。 サイクロン集塵機 3では、 気流の高速旋回によ り、 空気中の塵埃のほとんどが 遠心分離されると ともに、 塵埃分離後の空気がホース 2を介して掃除機本体 1の フィルタ装置 1 2に供給される。 フィルタ装置 1 2では、 供給された空気中に含 まれるさらに細かい塵埃が濾過され、 ほぼ完全に塵埃の除去された空気が外部に 排出される。  In the above configuration, when the electric blower 11 is driven, air containing dust is sucked from the suction port body 5 and supplied to the cyclone dust collector 3 via the connection pipe 4. In the cyclone dust collector 3, most of the dust in the air is centrifuged by the high-speed swirling of the airflow, and the air after the dust separation is supplied to the filter device 12 of the cleaner body 1 through the hose 2. You. In the filter device 12, finer dust contained in the supplied air is filtered, and the air from which dust has been almost completely removed is discharged to the outside.

The housing body 42 connects the upper surface 42a and the lower surface 42b facing each other via the filter 21 and these end portions, and the side surfaces 4 facing each other also via the filter 21. 2 c · 42 d and a surface 42 e formed so as to cover a rectangular area surrounded by these surfaces. The surface 42e is formed on the side opposite to the joint surface with the separation housing 31. The lower surface 42b refers to a surface supported by the rotating shaft 23, and the surface opposing the lower surface 42b is the upper surface 42a.
面 4 2 eには、 空気流出口 4 3が設けられている。 フィルタ装置 1 2内に供給 された空気は、 フィルタ 2 1および空気流出口 4 3を介して装置外部に排出され る。  An air outlet 43 is provided on the surface 42e. The air supplied into the filter device 12 is discharged out of the device via the filter 21 and the air outlet 43.
また、 分離筐体 4 1には、 分離筐体 3 1に対する固定およびその解除を行う固 定解除部 4 4が形成されている。 この固定解除部 4 4は、 筐体本体 4 2の上面 4 2 aにおける回動軸 2 3の軸方向のほぼ中央位置から、 分離筐体 3 1の筐体本体Further, the separation housing 41 is provided with a fixing release section 44 for fixing and releasing the fixing to the separation housing 31. The fixing release section 4 4 is located on the top surface 4 of the housing body 4 2. From the substantially central position in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 23 in 2a, the housing body of the separate housing 31
3 2の壁面 （上面 3 2 a ) に沿うように平板状に延設されている。 また、 固定解 除部 4 4は、 ほぼその中央位置に、 分離筐体 3 1に設けられた上記の凸部 3 4が 嵌め込まれる固定孔 4 5を有している。 It extends like a flat plate along the 32 wall (upper surface 32a). In addition, the fixing release section 44 has a fixing hole 45 at a substantially central position thereof, into which the above-mentioned projection 34 provided on the separation housing 31 is fitted.
したがって、 分離筐体 4 1 を分離筐体 3 1に貼り合わせる方向に回動させて、 凸部 3 4を固定孔 4 5に嵌め込むことにより、 図 1 Aおよび図 1 Bのように、 筐 体 2 2を閉状態とすることができる。 一方、 固定孔 4 5を若干引き上げるか、 も しくは凸部 3 4を内側に押し込むことにより、 凸部 3 4と固定孔 4 5との嵌め込 みを解除し、 分離筐体 4 1を上記とは逆方向に回動させることにより、 図 4のよ うに、 筐体 2 2を開状態とすることができる。  Therefore, by rotating the separation case 41 in the direction in which the separation case 31 is bonded to the separation case 31 and fitting the protrusions 34 into the fixing holes 45, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, The body 22 can be closed. On the other hand, by slightly pulling up the fixing hole 45 or pushing the convex portion 34 inward, the fitting between the convex portion 34 and the fixing hole 45 is released, and the separation housing 41 is moved as described above. By rotating the housing 22 in the opposite direction, the housing 22 can be opened as shown in FIG.
なお、 例えば、 固定解除部 4 4に凸部を設け、 分離筐体 3 1に、 上記凸部が嵌 る凹部を設けることで、 固定解除部 4 4が分離筐体 3 1に対する分離筐体 4 1の 固定または解除を行う構成であってもよい。  In addition, for example, by providing a convex portion on the fixing release portion 44 and providing a concave portion in which the convex portion fits in the separation housing 31, the fixing release portion 4 4 A configuration for fixing or releasing 1 may be used.
また、 分離筐体 4 1の固定解除部 4 4もしくは上面 4 2 aには、 操作者の使用 の便宜を考慮して、 ッマミ 4 6が設けられている。 つまり、 操作者は、 ッマミ 4 6を持って分離筐体 4 1を分離筐体 3 1に対して相対的に回動させることにより 、 その回動操作を容易に行うことができる。 特に、 筐体 2 2を開く場合に、 この ッマミ 4 6を持って分離筐体 4 1を回動させると、 その操作がしゃすいものとな つている。  In addition, a knob 46 is provided on the fixing release portion 44 or the upper surface 42a of the separation housing 41 for the convenience of the operator. That is, the operator can easily perform the rotation operation by holding the knob 46 and rotating the separation housing 41 relatively to the separation housing 31. In particular, when the housing 22 is opened, if the separation housing 41 is rotated by holding the knob 46, the operation is smooth.
次に、 フィルタ装置 1 2の筐体 2 2に設けられる被係止部について、 引き続き 、 図 1 A、 図 1 Bおよび図 4に基づいて説明する。  Next, the locked portion provided on the housing 22 of the filter device 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 4. FIG.
本実施形態のフィルタ装置 1 2では、 分離筐体 3 1および分離筐体 4 1の両方 が、 フィルタ装置 1 2を収容する収容体である掃除機本体 1に係止される被係止 部 3 5 (第 1被係止部） · 4 7 (第 2被係止部） をそれぞれ備えている。  In the filter device 12 of the present embodiment, both the separation housing 31 and the separation housing 41 are locked by the locked portion 3 which is locked to the cleaner main body 1 which is a container for housing the filter device 12. 5 (first locked portion) · 47 (second locked portion).
より詳しくは、 分離筐体 3 1は、 面 3 2 eに貼り付けられる平板部 3 6を有し ている。 この平板部 3 6は、 面 3 2 eから上下方向 （上面 3 2 aおよび下面 3 2 bに垂直方向） に向かって筐体本体 3 2外部に突出するような平板で形成されて おり、 その下側の突出部が上記の被係止部 3 5となっている。 一方、 平板部 3 6 における上側の突出部には、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7の形状に沿った切り込 み 3 7 (図 4参照） が形成されている。 また、 平板部 3 6は、 分離筐体 3 1の空 気流入口 3 3に対応する孔 3 8を有している。 More specifically, the separation housing 31 has a flat plate portion 36 attached to the surface 32e. The flat plate portion 36 is formed of a flat plate protruding from the surface 32 e in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the upper surface 32 a and the lower surface 32 b) to the outside of the housing body 32. The lower projecting portion is the locked portion 35 described above. On the other hand, the upper projecting portion of the flat plate portion 36 has a notch along the shape of the Only 37 (see Fig. 4) is formed. The flat plate portion 36 has a hole 38 corresponding to the air inlet 33 of the separation housing 31.
なお、 上記の平板部 3 6を設けずに、 分離筐体 3 1の筐体本体 3 2の下面 3 2 bに、 当該下面 3 2 bに垂直方向に突出する突出部を設け、 この突出部を被係止 部 3 5とするようにしてもよい。 つまり、 本実施形態では、 被係止部 3 5は、 分 離筐体 3 1における分離筐体 4 1 との接合側とは反対側の面 3 2 eに沿って平板 状で形成されていればよい。  It should be noted that, without providing the flat plate portion 36, the lower surface 32b of the housing main body 32 of the separated housing 31 is provided with a protruding portion projecting vertically to the lower surface 32b. May be the locked portion 35. That is, in the present embodiment, the locked portion 35 is formed in a flat plate shape along the surface 32 e of the separation housing 31 opposite to the side joined to the separation housing 41. Just fine.
なお、 筐体 2 2を例えば円筒状で形成することも可能であるが、 この場合でも 、 そのような形状の筐体 2 2に平板部 3 6を貼り合わせるだけで、 被係止部 3 5 を容易に実現することが可能である。 つまり、 平板部 3 6を設ける構成は、 筐体 It is to be noted that the housing 22 can be formed in a cylindrical shape, for example. However, in this case, the locked portion 3 5 can be formed simply by bonding the flat plate portion 36 to the housing 22 having such a shape. Can be easily realized. In other words, the configuration in which the flat plate portion 36 is provided
2 2がどのような形状であっても対応できるというメ リ ッ トがある。 There is an advantage that any shape of 22 can be handled.
一方、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7は、 固定解除部 4 4に設けられている。 詳 しくは、 被係止部 4 7は、 筐体 2 2の閉状態において、 分離筐体 3 1の被係止部 On the other hand, the locked part 47 of the separation housing 41 is provided on the fixing release part 44. More specifically, the locked portion 47 holds the locked portion of the separated housing 31 when the housing 22 is in the closed state.
3 5の位置する平面と同一平面上に位置するように、 固定解除部 4 4の端部 （筐 体本体 4 2側とは反対側の端部） に立設されている。 分離筐体 3 1の平板部 3 6 には、 上述のように被係止部 4 7の形状に沿った切り込み 3 7が形成されている ため、 筐体 2 2の閉状態では、 被係止部 4 7が切り込み 3 7に収まることで、 被 係止部 3 5と被係止部 4 7とが同一平面上に位置するようになる。 The fixing release portion 44 is provided upright at the end (the end opposite to the housing body 42 side) so as to be located on the same plane as the plane on which 35 is located. Since the notch 37 is formed in the flat plate portion 36 of the separation housing 31 1 along the shape of the locked portion 47 as described above, when the housing 22 is in the closed state, it is locked. When the portion 47 is accommodated in the notch 37, the locked portion 35 and the locked portion 47 are located on the same plane.
次に、 上記構成のフィルタ装置 1 2を収容する掃除機本体 1の内部構造の詳細 について、 図 5に基づいて説明する。 図 5は、 掃除機本体 1内部の概略の構成を 示すとともに、 フィルタ装置 1 2を収容した状態を示している。  Next, details of the internal structure of the cleaner main body 1 that houses the filter device 12 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows a schematic configuration inside the cleaner main body 1 and shows a state in which the filter device 12 is housed.
掃除機本体 1は、 フィルタ装置 1 2の分離筐体 3 1の被係止部 3 5を係止する 係止部 5 1 (第 1係止部） と、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7を係止する係止部 5 2 (第 2係止部） とを有している。  The cleaner body 1 includes a locking portion 5 1 (first locking portion) for locking the locked portion 35 of the separation housing 3 1 of the filter device 1 2, and a locking of the separation housing 41. And a locking portion 52 (second locking portion) for locking the portion 47.
係止部 5 1は、 収容されるフィルタ装置 1 2の回動軸 2 3の軸方向に沿って形 成された断面略 V字形もしくは凹状の溝であり、 分離筐体 3 1の被係止部 3 5が この溝に嵌め込まれることによって、 被係止部 3 5と一体構成される分離筐体 3 1が掃除機本体 1内で係止される。  The locking portion 51 is a groove having a substantially V-shaped cross section or a concave shape formed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 23 of the filter device 12 to be housed therein. When the part 35 is fitted into the groove, the separation housing 31 integrally formed with the locked part 35 is locked in the cleaner body 1.
係止部 5 2は、 自身の回動により、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7の係止および その解除を行うものであり、 例えばパネのような付勢手段により、 被係止部 4 7 を係止するような回動方向 （図中矢印方向） に付勢されるクランプで構成されて いる。 この係止部 5 2は、 掃除機本体 1内で支持部 5 3により支持されている。 また、 掃除機本体 1は、 掃除機本体 1に対するフィルタ装置 1 2の着脱時に開 閉する蓋部 5 4をさらに有している。 そして、 蓋部 5 4の内面には、 押圧部 5 5 が形成されている。 押圧部 5 5は、 同図のように係止部 5 2が分離筐体 4 1の被 係止部 4 7を係止する回動位置にあるときに、 その係止を解除する回動方向への 係止部 5 2の回動を阻止するように、 掃除機本体 1に対する蓋部 5 4の閉状態で 係止部 5 2を押圧するものである。 The rotation of the locking portion 52 causes the locked portion 47 of the separation housing 41 to lock and lock the locking portion 47. It is configured to be a clamp that is urged in a rotating direction (the direction of the arrow in the figure) to lock the locked portion 47 by an urging means such as a panel, for example. . The locking portion 52 is supported by the support portion 53 in the cleaner body 1. Further, the cleaner main body 1 further includes a lid portion 54 that opens and closes when the filter device 12 is attached to and detached from the cleaner main body 1. A pressing portion 55 is formed on the inner surface of the lid 54. When the locking portion 52 is at the rotation position for locking the locked portion 47 of the separation housing 41 as shown in the figure, the pressing portion 55 releases the locking direction. The locking portion 52 is pressed in the closed state of the lid portion 54 with respect to the cleaner body 1 so as to prevent the rotation of the locking portion 52 to the main body.
また、 本実施形態では、 係止部 5 2には、 突起部 5 6が形成されている。 突起 部 5 6は、 係止部 5 2が掃除機本体 1に対するフィルタ装置 1 2の非係止状態に 対応する回動位置にあるときに、 押圧部 5 5と当接することによって蓋部 5 4を 開状態とさせる。 ここで、 係止部 5 2が上記回動位置にあるときとは、 例えば、 図 6のように、 筐体 2 2が開状態となっているために、 フィルタ装置 1 2を適切 な位置で掃除機本体 1内に収容することができず、 係止部 5 2が分離筐体 4 1の 被係止部 4 7を係止していない状態にあるときや、 フィルタ装置 1 2を掃除機本 体 1内に最初から収容していない状態を想定することができる。 このようなとき には、 突起部 5 6が押圧部 5 5と当接することにより、 蓋部 5 4が掃除機本体 1 に対して開状態となる。  Further, in the present embodiment, a projection 56 is formed on the locking portion 52. When the locking portion 52 is at a rotation position corresponding to the unlocked state of the filter device 12 with respect to the cleaner main body 1, the projection portion 56 comes into contact with the pressing portion 55 to form the lid portion 54. Open. Here, when the locking portion 52 is in the above-mentioned rotation position, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, since the housing 22 is in the open state, the filter device 12 is moved to an appropriate position. When the locking unit 52 cannot be stored in the cleaner body 1 and the locking unit 52 does not lock the locked unit 47 of the separation housing 41, or when the filter device 12 is It can be assumed that the main body 1 is not housed from the beginning. In such a case, the projection portion 56 comes into contact with the pressing portion 55, so that the lid portion 54 is opened with respect to the cleaner body 1.
また、 掃除機本体 1には、 掃除機本体 1内で分離筐体 3 1を分離筐体 4 1方向 に押圧するとともに、 ホース 2の先端がフィルタ装置 1 2の空気流入口 3 3に差 し込まれたときに、 ホース 2とフィルタ装置 1 2との間における気密性を保持す るためのパッキン 5 7が設けられている。 これにより、 ホース 2からフィルタ装 置 1 2に供給される空気のフィルタ装置 1 2外部への漏洩を防止することができ る。 また、 パッキン 5 7によって分離筐体 3 1が分離筐体 4 1に押圧されるため 、 掃除機本体 1内では、 このパッキン 5 7と係止部 5 1 · 5 2とによって、 筐体 2 2を閉状態で確実に支持することができる。  Also, in the cleaner body 1, the separation housing 31 is pressed in the direction of the separation housing 41 in the cleaner body 1, and the end of the hose 2 is connected to the air inlet 33 of the filter device 12. When inserted, a packing 57 is provided to maintain the airtightness between the hose 2 and the filter device 12. As a result, it is possible to prevent the air supplied from the hose 2 to the filter device 12 from leaking to the outside of the filter device 12. Also, since the separation housing 31 is pressed against the separation housing 41 by the packing 57, the housing 2 2 is formed in the cleaner body 1 by the packing 57 and the locking portions 51, 52. Can be reliably supported in the closed state.
次に、 本発明のフィルタ装置 1 2の掃除機本体 1に対する着脱動作について説 明する。 まず、 分離筐体 3 1に対して分離筐体 4 1を回動させて筐体 2 2を開状態とし (図 4参照） 、 筐体 2 2内部にフィルタ 2 1を装填した後、 分離筐体 4 1を上記 とは逆方向に回動させて筐体 2 2を閉状態にする （図 1 A、 図 I B参照） 。 この とき、 分離筐体 4 1の固定解除部 4 4の固定孔 4 5を分離筐体 3 1の凸部 3 4に 嵌めこみ、 分離筐体 3 1 と分離筐体 4 1とが離れないようにする。 Next, the attachment / detachment operation of the filter device 12 of the present invention with respect to the cleaner body 1 will be described. First, the separation housing 41 is rotated with respect to the separation housing 31 to open the housing 22 (see FIG. 4). After the filter 21 is loaded in the housing 22, the separation housing 21 is opened. The body 41 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above to close the housing 22 (see FIGS. 1A and IB). At this time, the fixing holes 45 of the fixing release portions 44 of the separation case 41 are fitted into the projections 34 of the separation case 31 so that the separation case 31 does not separate from the separation case 41. To
フィルタ装置 1 2を掃除機本体 1内に収容するときは、 掃除機本体 1 の蓋部 5 4を開き、 係止部 5 1の溝にフィルタ装置 1 2の分離筐体 3 1 の被係止部 3 5を 嵌め込んで、 係止部 5 1にて被係止部 3 5を係止させる一方、 係止部 5 2を回動 させて、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7を係止部 5 2にて係止させる。 この状態で は、 図 5に示すように、 筐体 2 2が閉状態を保っており、 また、 蓋部 5 4内面の 押圧部 5 5 と、 係止部 5 2の突起部 5 6とが当接しないので、 蓋部 5 4は掃除機 本体 1に対して閉状態となっている。  When storing the filter device 1 2 in the cleaner body 1, open the lid 54 of the cleaner body 1 and lock the separation housing 3 1 of the filter device 1 2 in the groove of the locking portion 51. The locking part 35 is locked by the locking part 51 by fitting the part 35 into the locking part 51, while the locking part 52 is rotated to lock the locking part 47 of the separation housing 41. Is locked by the locking portion 52. In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the housing 22 is kept closed, and the pressing portion 55 on the inner surface of the lid 54 and the projection 56 of the locking portion 52 are formed. Since there is no contact, the lid 54 is closed with respect to the cleaner body 1.
一方、 フィルタ装置 1 2を掃除機本体 1から取り出すときは、 蓋部 5 4を開き 、 係止部 5 2を回動させて、 係止部 5 2と被係止部 4 7との係止を解除し、 係止 部 5 1の溝から被係止部 3 5を抜けば、 フィルタ装置 1 2を掃除機本体 1から取 り出すことができる。  On the other hand, when removing the filter device 12 from the cleaner body 1, the lid 54 is opened and the locking portion 52 is rotated to lock the locking portion 52 with the locked portion 47. The filter device 12 can be taken out of the cleaner body 1 by releasing the lock and pulling out the locked portion 35 from the groove of the locking portion 51.
以上のように、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 3 1および分離筐体 4 1の両方が、 フィルタ装置 1 2を収容する掃除機本体 1に係止される被係止部 3 5 · 4 7をそ れぞれ備えている。 つまり、 分離筐体 3 1が、 掃除機本体 1内の係止部 5 1によ つて係止される被係止部 3 5を有しており、 分離筐体 4 1が、 掃除機本体 1内の 係止部 5 2によって係止される被係止部 4 7を有している。  As described above, in the present embodiment, both the separation housing 31 and the separation housing 41 are locked portions 35, 47 locked to the cleaner main body 1 that houses the filter device 12. Respectively. That is, the separation housing 31 has a locked portion 35 locked by the locking portion 51 in the cleaner main body 1, and the separation housing 41 includes the cleaner main body 1. It has a locked portion 47 locked by the locking portion 52 inside.
これにより、 フィルタ装置 1 2を収容したときには、 被係止部 3 5が係止部 5 1によって係止され、 被係止部 4 7が係止部 5 2によって係止されることで、 筐 体 2 2全体が掃除機本体 1内で係止されるので、 掃除機本体 1内では、 分離筐体 3 1および分離筐体 4 1が、 両方とも移動 （回動） できない状態となる。 したが つて、 たとえ、 電動送風機 1 1の振動や外部からの衝擊等により、 掃除機本体 1 が振動しても、 それによつて分離筐体 3 1 と分離筐体 4 1 とが、 筐体 2 2の収容 時の状態から離間することがない。 それゆえ、 筐体 2 2に供給される空気が筐体 2 2外部に漏洩することもない。 その結果、 筐体 2 2の掃除機本体 1への収容後 は、 筐体 2 2に供給される空気に含まれる塵埃を筐体 2 2内のフィルタ 2 1にて 確実に除去することができる。 Thus, when the filter device 12 is housed, the locked portion 35 is locked by the locking portion 51, and the locked portion 47 is locked by the locking portion 52. Since the entire body 22 is locked in the cleaner main body 1, the separation housing 31 and the separation housing 41 cannot be moved (rotated) in the cleaner main body 1. Therefore, even if the cleaner main body 1 vibrates due to vibration of the electric blower 11 or external impact, etc., the separation housing 31 and the separation housing 41 are thereby connected to the housing 2. There is no separation from the state when 2 was stored. Therefore, the air supplied to the housing 22 does not leak outside the housing 22. As a result, after housing 22 is housed in vacuum cleaner body 1, The dust contained in the air supplied to the housing 22 can be reliably removed by the filter 21 in the housing 22.
特に、 本実施形態では、 同一の回動軸 2 3にて軸支される分離筐体 3 1 - 4 1 の各被係止部 3 5 · 4 7が、 フィルタ装置 1 2の掃除機本体 1への収容時に、 筐 体 2 2の閉状態で掃除機本体 1に係止される。 このことは、 言い換えれば、 筐体 In particular, in the present embodiment, each of the locked portions 35, 47 of the separation housing 31-41 supported by the same rotating shaft 23 is the cleaner body 1 of the filter device 12. When housed in the vacuum cleaner, the housing 22 is locked to the cleaner body 1 in the closed state. This means, in other words, the housing
2 2が閉状態でなければ、 フィルタ装置 1 2を掃除機本体 1内に収容することが できないことを意味する。 この構成により、 フィルタ装置 1 2の収容当初から、 筐体 2 2に供給される空気が筐体 2 2外部に漏洩するのを確実に防ぐことができ る。 If the filter 22 is not in the closed state, it means that the filter device 12 cannot be accommodated in the cleaner body 1. With this configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent the air supplied to the housing 22 from leaking out of the housing 22 from the beginning of the housing of the filter device 12.
また、 分離筐体 4 1 と分離筐体 3 1 との固定は、 分離筐体 4 1の固定解除部 4 4により行われる。 つまり、 固定解除部 4 4の固定孔 4 5が分離筐体 3 1の凸部 3 4に嵌ることで、 分離筐体 4 1が分離筐体 3 1に固定される。 このとき、 本実 施形態では、 分離筐体 4 1の被係止部 4 7が、 上記の固定解除部 4 4に設けられ ている。 すなわち、 分離筐体 3 1 · 4 1が閉じたときに分離筐体 3 1と固定され る分離筐体 4 1の固定部 （固定解除部 4 4 ) に被係止部 4 7が設けられている。 これにより、 被係止部 4 7が掃除機本体 1の係止部 5 2によって係止されたとき に、 同時に、 固定孔 4 5が凸部 3 4から外れにく くなり、 固定解除部 4 4による 分離筐体 4 1の分離筐体 3 1に対する固定が、 より確実なものとなる。 その結果 、 被係止部 4 7が係止部 5 2にて係止された後は、 筐体 2 2が掃除機本体 1内で 開状態となるのを確実に防止することができる。  Further, the fixing of the separation housing 41 and the separation housing 31 is performed by the fixing releasing section 44 of the separation housing 41. That is, the fixing hole 45 of the fixing releasing portion 44 is fitted to the convex portion 34 of the separation housing 31, so that the separation housing 41 is fixed to the separation housing 31. At this time, in the present embodiment, the locked portion 47 of the separation housing 41 is provided in the fixing release portion 44 described above. That is, the locked portion 47 is provided on the fixing portion (fixed release portion 4 4) of the separation housing 41 fixed to the separation housing 31 when the separation housing 31 is closed. I have. As a result, when the locked portion 47 is locked by the locking portion 52 of the cleaner body 1, the fixing hole 45 is hardly detached from the convex portion 34 at the same time, and the fixing releasing portion 4 The fixing of the separation housing 4 1 to the separation housing 31 by 4 becomes more reliable. As a result, after the locked portion 47 is locked by the locking portion 52, the housing 22 can be reliably prevented from being opened inside the cleaner body 1.
また、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 4 1は、 回動軸 2 3に軸支される下面 4 2 b (第 1の面） と、 フィルタ 2 1を介して下面 4 2 bに対向する上面 4 2 a (第 2 の面） とを有しており、 上記の固定解除部 4 4が、 上面 4 2 aから分離筐体 3 1 の壁面 （上面 3 2 a ) に沿って延設されている。 つまり、 分離筐体 4 1において 回動軸 2 3から最も遠い距離にある面 （上面 4 2 a ) から、 分離筐体 3 1の上面 In the present embodiment, the separation housing 41 includes a lower surface 42 b (first surface) supported by the rotating shaft 23 and an upper surface opposing the lower surface 42 b via the filter 21. 4 2 a (second surface), and the fixing release portion 44 extends from the upper surface 42 a along the wall surface (upper surface 32 a) of the separation housing 31. I have. In other words, from the surface (upper surface 4 2 a) farthest from the rotation axis 23 in the separation housing 4 1, the upper surface of the separation housing 3 1
3 2 aを覆うように、 上記の固定解除部 4 4が設けられている。 The above-mentioned fixing release portion 44 is provided so as to cover 32 a.
回動軸 2 3を中心とする回動半径が大きい位置であればあるほど、 微小な回動 角度に対する移動距離が大きくなるため、 微小な回動角度でも、 分離筐体 3 1と 分離筐体 4 1 との間に隙間が形成されやすくなる。 そこで、 上記のように、 回動 半径が最も大きくなる面 （上面 4 2 a ) に固定解除部 4 4を設け、 分離筐体 3 1 と分離筐体 4 1 とを固定することにより、 上記隙間の形成を確実に阻止して、 筐 体 2 2外部への空気の漏れを確実に防ぐことができる。 The larger the radius of rotation about the rotation axis 23, the greater the movement distance for a small rotation angle. Therefore, even at a small rotation angle, the separation housing 31 and the separation housing are separated. A gap is likely to be formed between the gap and 4 1. So, as mentioned above, The separation release section 44 is provided on the surface having the largest radius (upper surface 4 2 a), and the separation housing 31 is fixed to the separation housing 41, so that the formation of the gap is reliably prevented. The case 22 can reliably prevent air from leaking to the outside.
また、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 3 1の被係止部 3 5は、 分離筐体 3 1におけ る分離筐体 4 1 との接合側とは反対側の面 3 2 eに沿って平板状で形成されてお り、 分離筐体 4 1 の被係止部 4 7は、 被係止部 3 5の位置する平面と同一平面上 に位置するように、 平板状で形成されている。  Further, in the present embodiment, the locked portion 35 of the separation housing 31 is formed along the surface 3 2 e of the separation housing 31 opposite to the joint side with the separation housing 41. The locked portion 47 of the separation housing 41 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to be located on the same plane as the plane where the locked portion 35 is located. .
既存の電気掃除機に用いられている紙パックやフィルタ装置は、 その吸引口に 取り付けられた平板を上下から挟むようにして掃除機本体に装着されるので、 本 実施形態のように、 被係止部 3 5 · 4 7が同一の平面上に位置するように平板状 で形成されていれば、 既存の電気掃除機にも本発明のフィルタ装置 1 2を適用す ることができるという利点がある。 このとき、 被係止部 3 5 · 4 7の大きさや厚 さ等は、 現在の電気掃除機に適用されている規格に基づいて適宜設定されればよ い。  The paper pack and the filter device used in the existing vacuum cleaner are attached to the cleaner body so as to sandwich the flat plate attached to the suction port from above and below.

フィルタ装置 6 1を掃除機本体 1内に収容するときは、 掃除機本体 1の蓋部 5 4を開き、 係止部 5 1の溝に、 フィルタ装置 6 1の分離筐体 7 1の被係止部 7 6 と分離筐体 8 1の各被係止部 8 9とを嵌め込んで、 係止部 5 1にて被係止部 7 6 と 2個の係止部 8 9とを係止させる一方、 係止部 5 2を回動させて、 分離筐体 8 1の被係止部 8 8を係止部 5 2にて係止させる。 この状態では、 図 9に示すよう に、 分離筐体 7 1 · 8 1が貼り合わされた状態を保っており、 また、 蓋部 5 4内 面の押圧部 5 5 と、 係止部 5 2の突起部 5 6とが当接しないので、 蓋部 5 4は掃 除機本体 1に対して閉状態となっている。  When storing the filter device 61 in the cleaner body 1, open the lid 54 of the cleaner body 1 and engage the separation housing 71 of the filter device 61 in the groove of the locking portion 51. The stop part 76 and the respective locked parts 89 of the separation housing 81 are fitted, and the locked part 76 and the two locking parts 89 are locked by the locking part 51. At the same time, the locking portion 52 is rotated to lock the locked portion 88 of the separation housing 81 with the locking portion 52. In this state, as shown in FIG. 9, the separated housings 7 1 and 8 1 are kept in a bonded state, and the pressing portion 55 on the inner surface of the lid portion 54 and the locking portion 52 are formed. The lid 54 is closed with respect to the sweeper main body 1 because the projection 56 does not abut.
一方、 フィルタ装置 6 1を掃除機本体 1から取り出すときは、 蓋部 5 4を開き 、 係止部 5 2を回動させて、 係止部 5 2と被係止部 8 8との係止を解除し、 係止 部 5 1の溝から被係止部 7 6および 2個の被係止部 8 9を抜けば、 フィルタ装置 6 1 を掃除機本体 1 から取り出すことができる。 On the other hand, when removing the filter device 61 from the cleaner body 1, open the lid 54 and rotate the locking portion 52 to lock the locking portion 52 with the locked portion 88. And release the locked part 76 and the two locked parts 89 from the groove of the locking part 51, then the filter device 6 1 can be taken out of the cleaner body 1.
以上のよ うに、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 7 1が掃除機本体 1内の係止部 5 1 によって係止される被係止部 7 6を有しており、 分離筐体 8 1が掃除機本体 1内 の係止部 5 1によつて係止される被係止部 8 9を有していると ともに、 係止部 5 2によつて係止される被係止部 8 8を有している。  As described above, in the present embodiment, the separation housing 71 has the locked portion 76 locked by the locking portion 51 in the cleaner body 1, and the separation housing 81 is It has a locked portion 89 locked by the locking portion 51 in the cleaner body 1 and a locked portion 8 8 locked by the locking portion 52 have.
このよ うに、 分離筐体 7 1 · 8 1の両方が、 掃除機本体 1内で係止される被係 止部 7 6 · 8 8 . 8 9を有しているので、 フィルタ装置 6 1 を収容したときには 、 筐体 7 2全体が掃除機本体 1内で係止される。 これによ り、 掃除機本体 1内で は、 分離筐体 7 1および分離筐体 8 1が、 両方とも平行移動できない状態となる したがって、 たとえ、 電動送風機 1 1の振動や外部からの衝撃等によ り、 掃除 機本体 1が振動しても、 それによつて分離筐体 7 1 と分離筐体 8 1 とが筐体 2 2 の収容時の状態から離間することがない。 それゆえ、 筐体 6 3に供給される空気 が筐体 6 3外部に漏洩することもない。 その結果、 本実施形態のよ うな平行分離 タイプの筐体 6 3を用いてフィルタ装置 6 1 を構成した場合でも、 フィルタ装置 6 1の掃除機本体 1への収容後は、 確実に、 筐体 6 3に供給される空気に含まれ る塵埃を筐体 6 3内のフィルタ 6 2にて除去することができる。  As described above, since both of the separation housings 71 and 81 have the engaging portions 76 and 88.89 to be locked in the cleaner main body 1, the filter device 61 can be removed. When housed, the entire housing 72 is locked inside the cleaner body 1. As a result, in the cleaner main body 1, both the separation housing 71 and the separation housing 81 cannot be moved in parallel. Therefore, for example, the vibration of the electric blower 11 or the impact from the outside may occur. Therefore, even if the cleaner main body 1 vibrates, the separation housing 7 1 and the separation housing 8 1 do not separate from the state when the housing 22 is housed. Therefore, the air supplied to the housing 63 does not leak outside the housing 63. As a result, even when the filter device 61 is configured using the parallel separation type housing 63 as in the present embodiment, after the filter device 61 is housed in the cleaner main body 1, the housing is securely mounted. Dust contained in the air supplied to 63 can be removed by the filter 62 inside the housing 63.
特に、 本実施形態では、 互いの平行移動によ り離接可能な分離筐体 7 1 · 8 1 の各被係止部 7 6 · 8 8 · 8 9が、 フィルタ装置 6 1の掃除機本体 1への収容時 に、 分離筐体 7 1 · 8 1 を貼り合わせた状態で、 掃除機本体 1内で係止される。 言い換えれば、 筐体 6 3が閉状態でなければ、 フィルタ装置 6 1 を掃除機本体 1 内に収容することができない。 したがって、 フィルタ装置 6 1の収容当初から、 筐体 6 3に供給される空気が筐体 6 3外部に漏洩するのを確実に防ぐことができ る。  In particular, in the present embodiment, each of the locked portions 76, 88, 89 of the separation housings 71, 81, which can be separated and attached to each other by parallel movement, is connected to the cleaner body of the filter device 61. At the time of storage in the housing 1, the separation housings 7 1 and 8 1 are locked in the cleaner main body 1 in a state where they are bonded together. In other words, unless the housing 63 is in the closed state, the filter device 61 cannot be housed in the cleaner body 1. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the air supplied to the housing 63 from leaking out of the housing 63 from the beginning of the housing of the filter device 61.
また、 分離筐体 8 1 と分離筐体 7 1 との固定は、 分離筐体 8 1の固定解除部 8 3 と各固定解除部 8 4 とによ り行われるが、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 8 1の被 係止部 8 8 · 8 9が、 これに対応する固定解除部 8 3 * 8 4にそれぞれ設けられ ている。 つま り、 分離筐体 7 1 · 8 1が閉じたときに分離筐体 7 1 と固定される 分離筐体 8 1の固定部 （固定解除部 8 3 · 8 4 ) に各被係止部 8 8 · 8 9が設け られている。 これにより、 各被係止部 8 8 · 8 9が掃除機本体 1の係止部 5 2 . 5 1によってそれぞれ係止されたときに、 同時に、 固定解除部 8 3 · 8 4の各固 定孔 8 5 · 8 6が、 対応する各凸部 7 4 . 7 5から外れにく くなる。 よって、 固 定解除部 8 3と各固定解除部 8 4とによる分離筐体 8 1の分離筐体 7 1に対する 固定が、 より確実なものとなり、 フィルタ装置 6 1が掃除機本体 1内に収容され た後は、 筐体 6 3が掃除機本体 1內で開状態となるのを確実に防止することがで きる。 In addition, the separation housing 81 and the separation housing 71 are fixed by the fixing release part 83 of the separation housing 81 and each fixing release part 84. Locked portions 88 and 89 of housing 81 are provided in corresponding unlocking portions 83 * 84. That is, when the separation housings 7 1 and 8 1 are closed, they are fixed to the separation housing 7 1. The fixed portions (fixing release portions 8 3 and 8 4) of the separation housing 8 1 8 · 8 9 provided Has been. With this, when the locked portions 88, 89 are locked by the locking portions 52. 51 of the cleaner body 1, respectively, the fixing release portions 83, 84 are simultaneously fixed. The holes 85 and 86 are difficult to separate from the corresponding convex portions 74.75. Therefore, the separation housing 81 can be more securely fixed to the separation housing 71 by the fixing release section 83 and each fixing release section 84, and the filter device 61 is housed in the cleaner body 1. After that, the case 63 can be reliably prevented from being opened by the vacuum cleaner body 1 內.
また、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 8 1は、 フィルタ 6 2を介して互いに対向す る 2つの面である上面 8 2 aおよび下面 8 2 bを有しており、 固定解除部 8 3が 、 上面 8 2 aから分離筐体 7 1の壁面 （上面 7 2 a ) に沿って延設されていると ともに、 各固定解除部 8 4が、 上面 8 2 aから分離筐体 7 1の壁面 （下面 7 2 b ) に沿って延設されている。 これにより、 筐体 6 3の閉状態では、 分離筐体 7 1 が固定解除部 8 3 - 8 4によって挟持される状態となり、 その閉状態を確実にか つ容易に維持することができる。  Further, in the present embodiment, the separation housing 81 has an upper surface 82 a and a lower surface 82 b which are two surfaces opposed to each other with the filter 62 interposed therebetween. , And extends along the wall surface (upper surface 7 2 a) of the separation housing 7 1 from the upper surface 8 2 a, and each fixing release portion 8 4 (Lower surface 72b). Thus, when the housing 63 is in the closed state, the separation housing 71 is sandwiched by the fixing release portions 83-84, and the closed state can be reliably and easily maintained.
また、 本実施形態では、 分離筐体 7 1の被係止部 7 6は、 分離筐体 7 1におけ る分離筐体 8 1 との接合側とは反対側の面 7 2 eに沿って平板状で形成されてお り、 分離筐体 8 1の被係止部 8 8 · 8 9は、 筐体 6 3の閉状態で、 被係止部 7 6 の位置する平面と同一平面上に位置するように、 平板状で形成されている。 よつ て、 実施の形態 1と同様に、 既存の電気掃除機にも本発明のフィルタ装置 6 1を 適用することができるという利点がある。 このとき、 被係止部 7 6 · 8 8 · 8 9 の大きさや厚さ等は、 現在の電気掃除機に適用されている規格に基づいて適宜設 定されればよい。  Further, in the present embodiment, the locked portion 76 of the separation housing 71 is formed along the surface 72 e of the separation housing 71 opposite to the side joined to the separation housing 81. It is formed in a flat plate shape, and the locked portions 8 8, 89 of the separated housing 81 are in the closed state of the housing 63 and are flush with the plane where the locked portion 76 is located.

For example, the numbers of the fixing release portions 84 and the locked portions 89 are not particularly limited, and each may be one or three or more. Therefore, it can be said that the locking portion 51 of the main body 1 of the vacuum cleaner needs to lock at least one of the locked portions 89 of the separation housing 81.
〔実施の形態 3〕  [Embodiment 3]
本発明のさらに他の実施の形態について、 図 1 0および図 1 1に基づいて説明 すれば、 以下の通りである。 なお、 実施の形態 1 · 2と同一の構成または同一の 機能を有する構成については同一の部材番号を付記し、 その説明を省略する。 図 1 0は、 本実施形態に係る電気掃除機の概略の構成を示している。 本実施形 態の電気掃除機は、 実施の形態 1 で示したサイクロン集塵機 3に連結される収容 体 9 5 (第 1の収容体） を備えており、 この収容体 9 5に実施の形態 1のフィル タ装置 1 2 (または、 実施の形態 2のフィルタ装置 6 1 ) が収容されている。 一 方、 収容体 9 5とは異なる収容体であり、 収容体 9 5とホース 2を介して連結さ れる掃除機本体 1 (第 2の収容体） に、 電動送風機 1 1が設けられている。 した がって、 電動送風機 1 1は、 サイクロン集塵機 3、 収容体 9 5内のフィルタ装置 1 2 (またはフィルタ装置 6 1 ) およびホース 2を介して、 塵埃を含む空気を吸 引することになる。  The following will describe still another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. Note that the same components or those having the same functions as those in Embodiments 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. FIG. 10 shows a schematic configuration of a vacuum cleaner according to the present embodiment. The vacuum cleaner of this embodiment includes a container 95 (first container) connected to the cyclone dust collector 3 described in Embodiment 1, and the container 95 includes Embodiment 1 in this embodiment. Of the filter device 12 (or the filter device 61 of the second embodiment) is accommodated. On the other hand, the container 95 is different from the container 95, and the electric blower 11 is provided in the cleaner main body 1 (second container) connected to the container 95 via the hose 2. . Accordingly, the electric blower 11 sucks air containing dust through the cyclone dust collector 3, the filter device 12 (or the filter device 61) in the container 95, and the hose 2. .
ここで、 図 1 1は、 収容体 9 5内部の概略の構成を示すとともに、 フィルタ装 置 1 2を収容体 9 5内に収容した状態を示しているが、 フィルタ装置 6 1を収容 したときも同様の状態となる。 収容体 9 5は、 実施の形態 1の掃除機本体 1内に 設けられる、 係止部 5 1 * 5 2、 支持部 5 3、 蓋部 5 4、 押圧部 5 5、 突起部 5 6およびパッキン 5 7と同一の機能を有する部材を備えている。  Here, FIG. 11 shows a schematic configuration inside the container 95, and shows a state in which the filter device 12 is stored in the container 95, but when the filter device 61 is stored.

A member having the same function as that of 57 is provided.
なお、 収容体 9 5内部の各部材の配置は、 例えば図 5で示したものと上下が逆 になっている。 これは、 電気掃除機の取手部 9 6と蓋部 5 4とが対向すると、 取 手部 9 6が蓋部 5 4の開閉を妨げるため、 そのような不都合を回避すべく、 取手 部 9 6 とは反対側に蓋部 5 4を形成したことによる。 したがって、 そのような蓋 部 5 4の形成位置に対応して、 残りの各部材を形成しているため、 図 1 1での各 部材の配置は、 図 5 とは上下が逆になつている。 Note that the arrangement of each member inside the container 95 is upside down, for example, as shown in FIG. This is because when the handle part 96 of the vacuum cleaner faces the lid part 54, the handle part 96 prevents opening and closing of the lid part 54, so that such a disadvantage is avoided. This is because the lid 54 was formed on the opposite side to the above. Therefore, such a lid Since the remaining members are formed corresponding to the positions where the portions 54 are formed, the arrangement of the members in FIG. 11 is upside down from that in FIG.
本実施形態のように、 電動送風機 1 1が収容される収容体 （掃除機本体 1 ) と は異なる収容体 9 5をサイクロン集塵機 3に連結して、 この収容体 9 5に実施の 形態 1のフィルタ装置 1 2または実施の形態 2のフィルタ装置 6 1 を収容するこ とによ り、 掃除機本体 1 にフィルタ装置 1 2 · 6 1 を設けない分だけ、 掃除機本 体 1 を小型化および軽量化することができる。 これによ り、 掃除機本体 1の移動 性を格段に向上させることができ、 使用者が扱いやすい電気掃除機を提供するこ とができる。  As in the present embodiment, a container 95 different from the container (the cleaner main body 1) in which the electric blower 11 is stored is connected to the cyclone dust collector 3, and the container 95 according to the first embodiment is added to the container 95. By accommodating the filter device 12 or the filter device 61 of the second embodiment, the size of the vacuum cleaner body 1 can be reduced because the filter device 1 2 The weight can be reduced. Thereby, the mobility of the cleaner main body 1 can be remarkably improved, and a vacuum cleaner that is easy for the user to handle can be provided.
また、 掃除機本体 1の小型化、 軽量化によ り、 例えばショルダータイプの電気 掃除機にも本発明を適用することができ、 商品展開の範囲を大幅に広げることも できる。  In addition, the present invention can be applied to, for example, a shoulder-type vacuum cleaner by reducing the size and weight of the vacuum cleaner body 1, and the range of product development can be greatly expanded.
