【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、掃除機本体が、電動送風機が内蔵されると共に集塵容器を支持する支持部を有するケースと、このケースに回動可能に設けられると共に集塵容器をケースと協働して挟持するカバー部材とから構成されている電気掃除機の改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、電気掃除機には、掃除機本体が電動送風機が内蔵されると共に集塵容器を支持する支持部が形成されたケースと、このケースに回動可能に設けられると共に集塵容器をケースと協働して挟持するカバー部材とから構成されたものが知られている。
【0003】
この従来の電気掃除機では、集塵容器に把持部が設けられ、集塵容器にたまったゴミを取り除くときには、カバー部材を開いて、把持部を握って集塵容器をケースから取り外し、上部に着脱可能に挿着されたフィルター部材を集塵容器から取り外して、ゴミを捨てるようにしている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この従来の電気掃除機では、集塵容器にたまったゴミを捨てるときに、掃除機本体のカバー部材を開いて、把持部を握ってケースから集塵容器を取り外し、次いで、フィルター部材を集塵容器から取り外して集塵容器を逆さまにしてゴミを捨てなければならず、ゴミ捨てが面倒である。
【0005】
そこで、集塵容器に底蓋を設けると共に、その集塵容器に底蓋を開閉してゴミ捨てを行うことができるようにクランプ部材を設け、このクランプ部材にクランプ解除押しボタン部材を連係させて、クランプ解除押しボタン部材の操作により底蓋を開くことができるようにしてゴミ捨ての容易化を図った電気掃除機が開発されつつあるが、誤ってクランプ解除押しボタン部材を押す可能性が考えられ、意図せずにクランプ解除押しボタン部材が押されると、カバー部材を開ける前にすでに底蓋のクランプが解除された状態となっているため、カバー部材を開けて掃除機本体から集塵容器を取り外す際に、ゴミが不意にこぼれ落ちるおそれがある。
【0006】
本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みて為されたもので、その目的とするところは、集塵容器の底部に底蓋を設けて、この底蓋の開閉によるゴミ捨ての容易化を図る構成とした場合の不具合を解消することのできる電気掃除機を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1に記載の電気掃除機の発明は、掃除機本体が、電動送風機を内蔵すると共に集塵容器を支持する支持部を有するケースと、該ケースに回動可能に設けられると共に前記集塵容器を前記ケースと協働して挟持するカバー部材とから構成され、前記集塵容器が、上下方向に延びる把持部を有する筒状容器本体と、該筒状容器本体の底部に開閉可能に設けられた底蓋と、前記筒状容器本体に設けられて前記底蓋をクランプするクランプ部材と、前記把持部の上部に設けられかつ前記クランプ部材に連係されて前記底蓋のクランプを解除するクランプ解除押しボタン部材とから構成され、前記カバー部材にはその前部にホース接続口が形成され、該ホース接続口は前記クランプ解除押しボタン部材の上方に位置され、前記ホース接続口の直下部には前記クランプ解除押しボタン部材の周囲を包囲しつつ被覆する被覆カバーが設けられ、前記集塵容器が前記ケースと前記カバー部材とで挟持された状態のときに、前記クランプ解除押しボタン部材が前記被覆カバーにより操作不能に被覆されていることを特徴とする。
【0008】
本発明によれば、集塵容器の底蓋のクランプを解除するクランプ解除押しボタン部材が掃除機本体のカバー部材により被覆されているので、集塵容器の把持部を握って掃除機本体のカバー部材を開いて集塵容器を掃除機本体から取り外そうとするときに、誤ってクランプ解除押しボタン部材に手が触れて把持部を握って掃除機本体のカバー部材を開くときに底蓋が開いてせっかく集塵したゴミが集塵容器から不意にこぼれ落ちるのを防止できる。
また、クランプ解除押しボタン部材が集塵容器の把持部の上部に設けられているので、集塵容器の把持部を握った状態でクランプ解除押しボタン部材を操作し易い。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1〜図3は本発明に係わる電動掃除機の外観図である。その図1〜図3において、1は掃除機本体である。この掃除機本体1は、ケース2とカバー部材3とから構成されている。カバー部材3はその後部が図2に示すようにヒンジ部材4を介してケース2に回動可能に取り付けられている。そのカバー部材3の前部にはホース接続口5Aが形成されている。ホース接続口5Aから後部二股部5Bに至る間の途中には掃除機本体1の握持部6が形成されている。握持部6のホース接続口5Aに近い側には操作部7が設けられると共に、操作部7の横壁にはロック解除ボタン8が設けられている。
【0012】

【0013】
そのフィルター部材11は電動送風機2Bの直上方に位置している。そのケース2の側壁には排気口2Aが形成されている。カバー部材3には連通口14、15、16が形成されている。連通口14はホース接続口5Aに連通している。連通口15と連通口16とはカバー部材3の内部で連通され、連通口15の周囲にはパッキン部材17が設けられ、カバー部材3を閉じたときに連通口16がフィルター部材11に対向すると共に、パッキン部材17によって連通口16とパッキン部材17との間がシールされるようになっている。
【0014】
集塵容器9はその筒状容器本体18の底部に図4に示すように底蓋19が設けられ、その前部には把持部20が設けられている。その筒状容器本体18の上部にはフィルター挿着部21が図5に示すように設けられている。そのフィルター挿着部21には、図3に示すようにフィルターセット部材22が着脱可能にセットされる。
【0015】
フィルターセット部材22は図6、図7に示す下部材22Aと図8に示す上部材22Bとから構成され、両部材22A、22B間に図示を略すフィルターが挟着固定される。下部材22Aにはその前部にツマミ部23が形成されると共に、カバー部材3を閉じたときに連通口14に対向する吸引筒24が形成されている。その吸引筒24の下部口部には風向板25が図7に示すように形成されている。上部材22Bにはツマミ部26が形成されている。
【0016】
筒状容器本体18の後部側の底部には、一対の回動支持壁27が図5、図9に示すように形成されている。この回動支持壁27には嵌合凹所28aが形成されている。底蓋19の後部には突起板部29aが形成され、突起板部29aには嵌合凹所28aに回動可能に嵌合支持される嵌合軸部30aが形成され、底蓋19は嵌合軸部30aを支点にして回動可能である。
【0017】
把持部20は図10に示すように筒状容器本体18への挿着部28を有する。その挿着部28は中空状とされ、その中空状の挿着部28の下部にはクランプ機構29が設けられている。このクランプ機構29は回動支持壁30と、回動支持壁30に回動可能に支持されたシャフト31と、シャフト31と一体のクランプ部材32と、ネジリコイルスプリング33とを備えている。
【0018】
ネジリコイルスプリング33の一端33aは図11に示すように挿着部28の内壁に当接され、ネジリコイルスプリング33の他端32bはクランプ部材32に当接され、クランプ部材32はネジリコイルスプリング33によってシャフト31を支点にして回動可能にかつクランプ方向(矢印Z方向)に付勢されている。
【0019】
そのクランプ部材32は図11、図12に示すように底蓋19の前部に形成されたかぎ爪19aと係合するクランプ爪32aと後述するクランプ解除バーが係合する係合当接部32bとから構成されている。
【0020】
把持部20の上部には図3〜図5に示すようにクランプ解除ボタン34が設けられている。このクランプ解除押しボタン部材34は図4に示すコイルスプリング35により把持部20から上方に突出する方向に付勢されている。そのクランプ解除押しボタン部材34はその基部34aが把持部20の上部内壁に当接することによりその突出量が規定されている。その基部34aにクランプ解除バー36の一端部36aが取り付けられ、その他端部36bは係合当接部32bに当接可能に臨んでいる。挿着部28の内部には、一対のガイド突起28yが図10に示すように設けられると共に、図4に示すように、一対のガイド突起28z、28zが上下方向に間隔を開けて設けられている。これにより、クランプ解除バー36が上下方向にスムーズに案内されるようになっている。
【0021】
カバー部材3にはそのホース接続口5Aの直下部にクランプ解除押しボタン部材34の周囲を包囲しつつ被覆する被覆カバー37が形成され、そのクランプ解除押しボタン部材34は、ケース2とカバー部材3とによって集塵容器9を挟持固定した状態で、その被覆カバー37によって被覆される。従って、ホースの着脱時にゴミがクランプ解除押しボタン部材34の周囲に落ちて付着することがなく、クランプ解除押しボタン部材34と把持部20の開口34Aとの間の隙間に詰まって、クランプ解除押しボタン部材34が動かなくなるということを確実に防止できる。
【0022】
図1に示す状態で、図示を略す吸引ホースをホース接続口5Aに接続し、空気を吸い込みを始めると、ホース接続口5A、連通口14、吸引筒24にゴミと共に吸引空気が導かれ、吸引筒24に設けた風向板25によって筒状容器本体18の内周壁に沿って周回り方向の渦巻き風(サイクロン風)となって図12に示すように集塵容器9に導かれ、集塵容器9内で減速されつつ中心部に向かい、中心部に設けられたフィルターを通って連通口15に導かれ、その連通口15、16を経由してフィルター部材11に導かれ、ケース2内を通って排気口2Aから排出される。
【0023】
その集塵容器9に導かれた吸引空気内のゴミのうち重量の大きなものは、集塵容器9内で吸引空気が減速される際に落下して集塵容器9内に溜まり、重量の軽い細かなゴミは集塵容器9の上部に設置のフィルター、ケース2の上部に設置のフィルター部材11で除去される。
【0024】
集塵容器9内に溜まったゴミを捨てるときには、カバー部材3を開けて把持部20を握って、ケース2から集塵容器9を取り外し、クランプ解除押しボタン部材34を押下すると、図13(a)に矢印Aで示すようにクランプ解除バー36の他端部36bが係合当接部32bに向かって下降し、図13(b)に示すように、係合当接部32bにクランプ解除バー36の他端部36bが当接すると、クランプ部材32がネジリコイルスプリング33のクランプ方向の付勢力に抗して、シャフト31を支点にしてクランプ方向と反対方向に回動され、かぎ爪19aとクランプ爪32aとの係合が解除され、更に、クランプ解除バー36が下降すると、図13(c)に示すように、係合当接部32がかぎ爪19aの頭部に当接し、図13(d)に示すように底蓋19が押されて開き、図11に示すように、底蓋19が全開状態となり、集塵容器9内のゴミが落下するので、図示を略すゴミ収集袋等に捨てることができる。
【0025】
一方、底蓋19を開けると、クランプ部材32はネジリコイルスプリング33によってクランプ方向に復帰する。底蓋19を閉じるときには、かぎ爪19aの頭部がクランプ爪32のテーパー面32cに押され、これにより、クランプ解除方向にクランプ部材32が回動され、かぎ爪19aの頭部がクランプ爪32aを通り越した時点でかぎ爪19aの頭部によるクランプ爪32aの押圧が解除されるので、クランプ爪32aがネジリコイルスプリング33の付勢力によりクランプ方向に回動され、再び底蓋19がクランプされる。
【0026】
また、掃除中にクランプ解除押しボタン部材34が押されないようにするのに別部材を用いているので構成が簡単である。
【0027】
なお、底蓋19にはシール用パッキン38が設けられ、底蓋19を閉じると、その底部がシール用パッキン38によりシールされる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、集塵容器の底蓋のクランプを解除するクランプ解除押しボタン部材が掃除機本体のカバー部材により被覆されているので、集塵容器の把持部を握って掃除機本体のカバー部材を開いて集塵容器を掃除機本体から取り外そうとするときに、誤ってクランプ解除押しボタン部材に手が触れて把持部を握って掃除機本体のカバー部材を開くときに底蓋が開いてせっかく集塵したゴミが集塵容器から不意にこぼれ落ちるのを防止できる。
また、クランプ解除押しボタン部材が集塵容器の把持部の上部に設けられているので、集塵容器の把持部を握った状態でクランプ解除押しボタン部材を操作し易い。

Fine dust is removed by a filter installed on the top of thedust collecting container 9 and afilter member 11 installed on the top of thecase 2.
[0024]
When the dust accumulated in thedust collecting container 9 is thrown away, thecover member 3 is opened, thegripping part 20 is grasped, thedust collecting container 9 is removed from thecase 2, and the clamp releasepush button member 34 is pressed down. ), Theother end portion 36b of theclamp release bar 36 is lowered toward theengagement contact portion 32b as shown by an arrow A, and the clamp release bar is moved to theengagement contact portion 32b as shown in FIG. When theother end 36b of 36 is in contact, the clampingmember 32 is rotated in the opposite direction to the clamping direction with theshaft 31 as a fulcrum against the biasing force of thetorsion coil spring 33 in the clamping direction, and theclaw 19a When the engagement with theclamp claw 32a is released and theclamp release bar 36 is further lowered, as shown in FIG. 13 (c), theengagement contact portion 32 comes into contact with the head of theclaw 19a. Shown in (d) Thebottom lid 19 is pushed and opened as shown in FIG. 11, and thebottom lid 19 is fully opened, and the dust in thedust collecting container 9 falls, so that it can be discarded in a garbage collection bag or the like (not shown). .
[0025]
On the other hand, when thebottom lid 19 is opened, theclamp member 32 is returned to the clamping direction by thetorsion coil spring 33. When closing thebottom cover 19, the head of theclaw 19a is pushed by thetaper surface 32c of theclamp claw 32, whereby theclamp member 32 is rotated in the clamp releasing direction, and the head of theclaw 19a is moved to theclamp claw 32a. Since the pressing of theclamp claw 32a by the head of theclaw 19a is released at the time of passing, theclamp claw 32a is rotated in the clamping direction by the biasing force of thetorsion coil spring 33, and thebottom lid 19 is clamped again. .
[0026]
Further, since another member is used to prevent the clamp releasepush button member 34 from being pushed during cleaning, the configuration is simple.
[0027]
Thebottom lid 19 is provided with a sealing packing 38. When thebottom lid 19 is closed, the bottom portion is sealed by the sealing packing 38.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the clamp release push button member for releasing the clamp of the bottom cover of the dust collecting container is covered with the cover member of the cleaner body. When you try to open the member and remove the dust container from the vacuum cleaner body, the bottom cover will pop up when you accidentally touch the clamp release pushbutton member and grasp the grip to open the vacuum cleaner cover member. It is possible to prevent trash spilled from the dust collection container from unintentionally spilling from the dust collection container.
Further, since the clamp release push button member is provided on the upper part of the gripping portion of the dust collecting container, it is easy to operate the clamp release push button member while holding the grip portion of the dust collection container.
