  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a dust collector of an upright type (vertical type) vacuum cleaner, and the upright type vacuum cleaner includes a vertical type vacuum cleaner as shown in FIGS. A floor suction tool 2 is integrally provided at the lower portion of the main body 1, and a main body operation handle 3 is integrally provided at the upper portion. The main body operating handle 3 extends upward from the back side of the vacuum cleaner main body 1, and has a grip portion 3 a that protrudes to the front side in a substantially triangular shape at the upper end portion.

  The floor suction tool 2 has a suction port 4 on the bottom surface side, and has a rotating brush 5 built in so as to face the suction port 4. The rotary brush 5 is connected to a rotary shaft of an electric blower (not shown) built in the lower part of the cleaner body 1 by a belt or the like and is driven to rotate. A pair of left and right front wheels 7 is attached to the front side of the floor suction tool 2, and a pair of left and right rear wheels 8 are attached to the lower rear of the cleaner body 1.

  Further, a hose connection portion 9 communicating with the bottom surface side suction port 4 is formed on one side rear surface of the floor suction tool 2, and the tip end portion of the hose 10 is detachably connected to the hose connection portion 9. It has become. The hose 10 is rotated to the back side of the cleaner body 1 via a holding portion 11 provided on the back side of the main body operation handle 3, and is attached to a suction cylinder 12 that is shifted to one side from the center on the back side. It is connected.

  On the other hand, a dust collecting device (dust collecting unit) 20 according to the present invention is detachably attached to the central portion on the front side of the cleaner body 1.

  The dust collector 20 has a cylindrical pre-filter 22 attached to the inside of a dust collecting case 21 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a transparent resin or the like, and a substantially cylindrical main filter 23 attached to the inside thereof. It has a configuration.

  The dust collecting case 21 has an arc on the upper surface that is inclined so as to face the front when mounted on the vacuum cleaner main body 1 so as to continue below the main body operation handle 3 as shown in FIGS. A handle 24 is formed.

  A handle 26 for rotating the pre-filter 22 is attached to the back side of the handle 24. The filter rotation handle 26 of the present embodiment is a cap-like shape. When the dust collector 20 is attached to the cleaner body 1, it does not appear outside and is hidden and cannot be touched. 26 cannot be operated.

  Although not shown in the drawing, the dust collecting case 21 has a suction cylinder 12 attached to the back side of the main body 1 at a position shifted to one side of the back surface when the vacuum cleaner main body 1 is mounted. A suction hole is formed in the inner opening so as to communicate closely with each other via a packing or the like. Thus, by forming the suction hole of the dust collection case 21 so as to be shifted from the center to one side, the air containing dust sucked from the suction hole turns in the dust collection case 21.

  Further, a lid 32 configured to be openable and closable by a hinge (opening / closing fulcrum) 31 provided below the handle 24 is attached to the bottom of the dust collecting case 20. The lid 32 is formed by hooking a clamp hook 33a formed at the lower end of the clamp lever 33 provided at the lower part of the dust collecting case 21 on the opposite side of the handle 24 to the protrusion 32a at the periphery of the lid 32. 32 is locked in a closed state.

  The clamp lever 33 has a support shaft 33b rotatably attached to ribs 34 formed on both sides of the clamp lever 33. A coil spring 33c is mounted on the upper side of the support shaft 33b. Is biased to the side.

  In the present embodiment, a lid opening arm 35 is attached so as to be movable up and down between the clamp lever 33 and the dust collecting case 21. A coil spring 35b for urging the arm 35 upward is mounted on the operating portion 35a at the upper end of the lid opening arm 35, and the lid opening arm is located at the position of the coil spring 33c of the clamp lever 33. A vertically long hole 35c is formed so that the coil spring 33c does not hit the coil spring 33c even if it moves up and down.

  Further, a convex portion 35d protruding outward is formed at the lower position of the support shaft 33b of the clamp lever 33 in correspondence with the inclined surface 33d toward the inner side of the clamp lever 33. When 35d abuts on the inclined surface 33d of the clamp lever 33 and pushes it outward, the hook of the clamp hook 33a on the lid-side protruding portion 32a can be released.

  Further, the tip 35e of the lid opening arm 35 hits the projection 32a on the lid 32 side when being pushed down and is pushed downward to forcibly open the lid 32 from which the clamp hook 33a is removed, as shown in FIG. Thus, the discharge port 36 of the dust collecting case 21 is configured to be opened. The protrusion 32a on the side of the lid 32 has an inclined top surface 32b corresponding to the inclined surface 33e of the clamp hook 33a so that the projection 32a can be closed without operating the clamp lever 33 when the lid 32 is closed. However, the tip 35e of the lid opening arm 35 is not slid on the inclined surface 32b of the projecting portion 32a when the upper convex portion 35d is pressed inward by the clamp lever 33 when being pushed down. The protrusion 32a can be pushed down.

  On the other hand, a packing 37 for closely contacting the opening edge of the dust collecting case 21 is attached to the outer peripheral edge of the lid 32. In addition, a convex portion 38 is formed on the upper surface of the lid 32 so as to be fitted to the inner periphery of the lower opening of the prefilter 22 so as to prevent the lower end portion from being shaken by the rotation of the prefilter 22. A packing 39 is attached to the open end of the prefilter 22 so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of the lid 32.

  A suction hole 41 communicating with the outside of the dust collecting case 21 is formed inside the upper surface of the convex portion 38 of the lid 32 by fitting the lower opening side of the cylindrical body 40 that forms a ventilation path from the main filter 23. On the inner peripheral edge of the suction hole 41, a packing 42 is attached to be in close contact with the opening end of the cylindrical body 40 of the main filter 23.

  The main filter 23 is attached to the upper portion of the top plate 43 of the dust collecting case 21 by an attachment shaft 44 formed so as to protrude upward from the central portion thereof. Between the top plate 43 of the dust collection case 21 and the upper surface of the main filter 23, a cylindrical rotating shaft 45 of the prefilter 22 having the mounting shaft 44 of the main filter 23 as a sliding shaft is mounted.

  An annular gear 47 that meshes with a disk-shaped gear 46 attached to the rotating shaft 27 of the filter rotating handle 26 is attached to the upper end of the cylindrical rotating shaft 45 of the prefilter 22. As a result, the pre-filter 22 rotates in accordance with the direction in which the filter rotating handle 26 is rotated. With this configuration, the prefilter 22 can be reliably rotated with a relatively simple configuration. Packings 48 and 49 for contacting the top plate 43 of the dust collecting case 21 and the upper partition plate 22a of the prefilter 22 are mounted on the outer peripheral edge on the upper end side of the prefilter 22 and the main filter 23. The pre-filter rotating mechanism is configured so that dust and the like do not enter.

  In addition, an elastic protrusion 50 is formed on the lower portion of the cylindrical rotating shaft 45 of the prefilter 22 so as to protrude outward and hit an inner peripheral side pleated tip of the main filter 23 described later. With such a configuration, the inner surface side of the main filter 23 to which fine dust adheres is flipped, so that the adhering dust can be efficiently removed.

  The pre-filter 22 has a mesh 51 on the lower side, and the mesh 51 filters relatively large dust (coarse dust). Thus, the mesh 51 which is the filter part of the pre-filter 22 is formed in the lower part of the dust collecting case 21, so that the air from the suction hole (not shown) above the dust collecting case 21 together with air. The dust that has entered is pushed downward while turning at high speed, and accumulates while pressed from the bottom surface (lid 32) of the dust collection case 21.

  Furthermore, a spiral rib 52 is formed on the outer periphery of the prefilter 22 in the vertical direction. The spiral rib 52 discharges the dust accumulated and compressed in the dust collecting case 21 when the filter rotating handle 26 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. It is formed so as to push in the direction of the outlet 36.

  On the other hand, the main filter 23 is a filter paper filter that is folded in a pleat shape (bellows shape) so as to surround a tubular body 40 that serves as an air passage for filtered air. The mounting shaft 44 formed at the upper portion is fitted into the mounting hole 53 formed at the upper portion of the top plate 43 of the dust collecting case 21 and is fixed so as not to rotate with the rotation of the prefilter 22. .

  A pleated tip end portion inside the main filter 23 is covered with a resin 54 in order to prevent contact wear due to the elastic protrusion 50 formed on the lower portion of the cylindrical rotating shaft 45 of the prefilter 22.

  Note that the air from which the dust has been filtered by the dust collector 20 exits the dust collection case 21 through the lower opening 41 of the cylindrical body 40 of the main filter 23 and is not shown in the figure. The air is taken into the electric blower and discharged from the electric blower to the outside through an exhaust filter formed in the lower part of the front surface of the cleaner body 1 through an exhaust filter.

  In the upright type vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment configured as described above, the dust swept up by the rotating brush 5 of the floor suction tool 2 passes through the hose 10 to the one side from the center on the back side of the main body 1. It enters the dust collecting case 21 from the suction cylinder 12 at the shifted position, flows downward while turning along the inner wall, and large dust (coarse dust) accumulates on the bottom.

  At this time, since the mesh 51 of the pre-filter 22 into which air is sucked is formed below the dust collecting case 21, it enters together with the air from the suction hole above the dust collecting case 21 as described above. The dust is pushed downward while turning at a high speed, and accumulates in a pressed state from the bottom surface (lid 32) of the dust collecting case 21. In particular, in the case of cotton waste, the effect is great, and the compression ratio is several times larger than that of, for example, a general cyclone separation type. Since the dust compression rate increases in this way, a large amount of dust can be collected even with the same dust collection volume.

  Further, small dust (fine dust) passes inside the prefilter 22 through the mesh 51 provided below the prefilter 22 and is filtered by the pleated main filter 23, and only clean air is inside the main filter 23. And flows downward, passes through the electric blower, and is discharged from the exhaust port 58 to the outside.

  As described above, the cylindrical prefilter 22 provided in the dust collector 20 of the present embodiment has a pleated tip (resin 54) inside the main filter 23 at the lower portion of the cylindrical rotating shaft 45. The elastic protrusion 50 which hits is provided. A spiral rib 52 is provided on the outer peripheral surface. Further, the cylindrical rotation shaft 45 of the pre-filter 22 is interlocked with the filter rotation handle 26 by gears 46 and 47.

  Accordingly, by rotating the filter rotation handle 26 in an arbitrary direction, the pre-filter 22 is rotated in the corresponding direction via the gears 46 and 47 and the rotation shaft 45. When the pre-filter 22 rotates, the elastic protrusion 50 below the rotation shaft 45 repels the pleated tip (resin 54) inside the main filter 23, so that it adheres to the surface of the main filter 23 due to the vibration. Fine dust is shaken off and falls down. Further, large dust (coarse dust) accumulated in a compressed state in the dust collecting case 21 functions to wipe fine dust adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the pre-filter 22. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively prevent a decrease in dust collection efficiency due to the adhesion of dust to the main filter 23 and the pre-filter 22.

  Further, the large dust (coarse dust) accumulated in the dust collecting case 21 gradually closes the mesh 51 formed below the prefilter 22, but the outer periphery of the prefilter 22 is rotated by the rotation of the prefilter 22 described above. Since the formed spiral rib 52 moves up and down, it acts to form a gap (air passage) between the mesh 51 of the pre-filter 22 and the dust. Therefore, also in this respect, it is possible to prevent a decrease in dust collection efficiency.

  On the other hand, when the dust accumulated in the dust collection case 21 is discharged, the dust collection case 21 is held by holding the handle 24 of the dust collection case 21 and pulling it out while pressing the operation button 28 on the upper side. Remove from 1.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the operating portion 35a of the lid opening arm 35 is pushed down, the convex portion 35d formed therebelow hits the inclined surface 33d of the clamp lever 33 and pushes outward. The lever 33 rotates and the clamp hook 33a at the lower end is detached from the protrusion 32a on the lid 32 side. When the operation portion 35a of the lid opening arm 35 is further pushed down, the tip 35e of the arm 35 hits the protruding portion 32a on the lid 32 side and pushes downward, so that the lid 32 is forcedly moved as shown in FIG. Dust that has been opened and accumulated in the dust collecting case 21 can be discharged from the discharge port 36.

  Accordingly, the sealing pressure of the packing 37 is increased in order to improve the sealing performance of the lid 32, or the dust in the dust collection case 21 is compressed and closely adheres to the inner wall of the dust collection case 21. Even when it is not added, the lid 32 can be reliably opened with a relatively simple configuration and operation without performing the troublesome and unsanitary work of directly opening the lid 32 by hand.

  In this way, the lid 32 can be opened and the dust accumulated in the dust collecting case 21 can be discharged, but particularly cotton dust or the like is compressed and is in close contact with the inner wall of the dust collecting case 21. It won't leave easily as it is. When the handle 26 is rotated in a predetermined direction (clockwise in this case) and the prefilter 22 is rotated in the predetermined direction, the spiral ribs 52 provided on the outer periphery of the prefilter 22 are compressed dust such as cotton dust. Can be easily discharged.

  Further, since the hinge 31 (opening / closing fulcrum) of the lid 32 is provided on the same side as the handle 24 of the dust collecting case 21, when the lid 32 is opened with the handle 24 (see FIG. 8), the discharge is performed. Since it is possible to prevent the dust that comes from coming to the user holding the handle 24 with the lid 32, it is possible to prevent a problem that the user is dusted.

  Further, when the dust is discharged, the dust removing action described above works as the pre-filter 22 rotates, so that the user can remove the dust every time the dust is discharged without specially being aware of the dust removal of the filter. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in dust collection efficiency without particular awareness.

  As described above, the present embodiment is economical because it can be used semi-permanently without using a disposable paper pack, and it has been improved in that it has conventionally been unusable compared to a paper pack. As a result, a product with greatly improved usability can be obtained.

  Such a dust collector 20 is particularly suitable when applied to an upright type vacuum cleaner that is vertical and has a sufficient mounting space and a large dust collection capacity.

  Furthermore, in the upright type vacuum cleaner of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the main body operation handle 3 extends upward from the rear side of the cleaner main body 1. Since the extended grip portion 3a is formed, when the main body 1 is laid back at a large angle and cleaned, such as under a bed, the grip portion 3a front side of the main body operation handle 3 is held. Therefore, it is not necessary to bend down too much because the grip portion is at a high position, and cleaning can be performed in an easy posture.

  10 to 19 show other embodiments of the present invention, and the same reference numerals as those of the above-described embodiments indicate the same or corresponding parts. The upright type vacuum cleaner main body 1 is the same as that shown in FIGS. Although not shown in the embodiment, as shown in the rear views of FIGS. 12, 16, and 18, the dust collecting case 21 is attached to the cleaner body 1 shown in FIGS. A suction hole 30 that is in close communication with the inner opening of the suction cylinder 12 attached to the back side of the main body 1 through packing or the like is formed at a position shifted to one side of the surface that becomes the back side.

  The present embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in the configuration of the opening mechanism of the lid 32, and the rest has the same configuration and operation as in the above-described embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, the lid opening arm 35 is provided on the dust collecting case 21 side as the lid opening mechanism, but in this embodiment, the lid opening lever 60 is provided on the lid 32 side. .

  That is, as in the above embodiment, the locking mechanism is attached to the dust collection case 21 side opposite to the hinge (opening / closing fulcrum) 31 of the lid 32, and the protrusion 32 a at the periphery of the lid 32 is provided at the lower end. A clamp lever 33 having a hook 33a to be hooked is provided. As an opening mechanism, the lower surface of the lid 32 opposite to the hinge 31 is attached to a position corresponding to the clamp lever 33, and the dust collecting case 21 side is attached. A lid opening lever 60 biased in the pushing direction is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 and the like, the lid opening lever 60 protrudes on both sides of its tip and presses the lower ends of the ribs 34 on both sides on which the support shafts 33b of the clamp lever 33 are mounted. A pressing portion 60a is formed. That is, the lid opening lever 60 has a coil spring 60c mounted on the opposite side of the support shaft 60b, and is biased in the direction in which the lower ends of the ribs 34 are pressed by the pressing portions 60a formed on both sides of the tip. Has been.

  Further, a protrusion 60d located between the ribs 34 on both sides is formed at the tip of the lid opening lever 60. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 11, the projection 60d has an inclined surface 60e that matches the inclined surface 33e of the clamp hook 33a so as not to interfere with the locking of the clamp hook 33a.

  In the above configuration, when the dust accumulated in the dust collecting case 21 is discharged, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the clamp hook 33 a at the lower end of the clamp lever 33 is pushed by pushing the operating portion 33 f of the clamp lever 33. The protrusion 32a is removed from the body 32 side.

  By releasing the locked state of the lid 32 by the clamp hook 33a, the reaction to the pressing force to the lower ends of the ribs 34 on the dust collecting case 21 side by the pressing portions 60a formed on both ends of the lid opening lever 60 is provided. Acts on the lid 32, and the lid 32 is forcibly opened to the position shown in FIGS. When opened up to this point, the sealing packing 37 is also separated from the opening edge of the dust collecting case 21, and thereafter, it is naturally opened as shown in FIGS. The dust accumulated in 21 can be discharged.

  Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment, the sealing pressure of the packing 37 is increased to improve the sealing performance of the lid 32, or the dust in the dust collection case 21 is compressed and closely adheres to the inner wall of the dust collection case 21. Even when the weight is not applied to the lid body 32, the lid body 32 can be reliably opened with a simple configuration and operation without performing the troublesome and unsanitary work of directly opening the lid body 32 by hand. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the ribs 34 on both sides to which the support shaft 33b of the clamp lever 33 is attached are effectively used to press the lower ends thereof, so a new configuration is provided on the dust collecting case 21 side. There is no need to add the operation, and the operation can be realized at a low cost as it is.

  Further, since the protrusion 60d located between the ribs 34 on both sides is formed at the tip of the lid opening lever 60, it is easy to align the lid 32 after closing the dust.
