Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify structure and troubleshoot easily a member submerged in water by supporting a belt-shaped filter in a water tank with a fixing lever. CONSTITUTION:A belt-shaped filter 5 is mounted between a drive roller 34 and a fixing lever 35. When a drive motor 22 is driven, the internal side of the belt-shaped filter 5 is lifted upward by the drive roller 34 and the filter 5 is transferred to the outside so that it may slide on the curved outside surface of the fixing lever 35. When a cover 6 is removed from a main frame body 2, water accumulated inside the fixing lever 35 is discharged smoothly from a water drain hole 57. The support of the lower part of the belt-shaped filter with the fixing lever 35 amplifies the further support structure compared with the prior art driven roller-based support and enhances the degree of freedom to design the fixing lever 35.

The water tank 4 located at the bottom of the main frame 2 has an open top.
A cover plate 29 having an insertion opening 28 into which the belt-shaped filter 5 is inserted is attached to the rear part. A drawable water supply body 30 is attached to an opening formed on the right side of the main frame body 2. Cover plate 2 for the outlet in the main frame body 2 of the water supply body 30
A water supply hole is formed in the 9th part. Water is supplied to the water tank 4 from the water supply body 30.

An intake port 8 is formed in the lid 6 that can be attached to and removed from the main frame 2, and a pre-filter 31 for collecting large dust is formed in the intake 1:1B.
is attached removably. A pair of support wall plates 32 are formed on both inner surfaces of the intake port 8 of the main frame body 2, and a support plate 3 that is inserted into the water tank 4 through the insertion port 28 is provided at the lower edge of the support wall plate 32.
3 has been extended. The lower end of the support plate 33 is located close to the bottom of the water tank 4.

A shaft support hole is formed in the upper part of the support wall plate 32, and the drive roller 34 is supported in the shaft support hole. A fixing rod 35 is fixedly disposed between the lower portions of the support plate 33. A belt-shaped filter 5 is installed between the drive roller 34 and the fixed rod 35. A filter contact prevention body 36 is formed in the vertically intermediate portion of the support wall plate 32 . The filter contact prevention body 36 consists of a contact prevention part 37 whose surface facing the intake port 8 is a curved surface, and a joining guide part 38 that hangs down. The contact prevention part 37 prevents the belt-shaped filter 5 from being bent inward due to the wind pressure of the air sucked in from the intake port 8, and does not prevent the belt-shaped filter 5 from moving (rotating).

A motor storage case 39 in which the drive morph 22 is housed is formed on the outer surface of one upper shaft support hole portion of the support wall plate 32 . The motor storage case 39 is formed with a shaft support hole 40 that fits into the shaft support hole, and the drive motor 22 is installed in the motor storage case 39 so that the output shaft 41 is located at the center of the shaft support hole 40.
It is fixed at

The drive roller 34 is composed of a cylinder body 45 with openings at both ends, a shaft support end plate 46 fitted into an opening at one end of the cylinder body 45, and a connecting end plate 47 fitted into an opening at the other end of the cylinder body 45.

A hollow pivot 48 is provided protruding from the shaft support end plate 46, and the connecting end plate 4
7 is formed with a connecting shaft 50 having a fitting recess 49 for fittingly connecting to the output shaft 41. The outer diameter a of the pivot shaft 48 is smaller than the outer diameter a of the connecting shaft 50, and the inner diameters of the shaft support hole of the support wall plate 32 and the shaft support hole portion 40 of the motor storage case 39 are such that each shaft 48.50 can be rotated without play. It is formed to a size that can support it. A drainage hole 51 is formed at the end of the pivot 48 .

When assembling the drive roller 34, if only the shaft support end plates 46 are attached to both ends of the cylinder 45, or only the connecting end plates are attached, the shaft cannot be supported in the shaft support hole and cannot be attached to the output shaft 41. From this, a defect in the drive roller 34 can be discovered. Even if the drive roller 34 is properly assembled, the shaft support to the support wall plate 32 and the connection to the output shaft 41 can only be attached in a specified direction, thereby preventing incorrect assembly. Cylindrical body 45
Even if the assembly of the shaft support end plate 46 and the connecting end plate 47 is not completely watertight, water that has entered the cylinder body 45 can be drained from the drainage hole 51 of the shaft support end plate 46 and flowed to the drive motor 22 side. It does not penetrate and is good for electrical insulation.

Three types of protrusions 52, 53, and 54 having different heights are formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical body 45 of the drive roller 34 in the axial direction. Projection 5

However, the lowest protrusion 54 is formed at a position shifted by 45 degrees from the protrusion 52 and 53. By making the heights of the protrusions 52, 53, and 54 different, the belt-shaped filter 5 is not easily caught on the belt-shaped filter 5, and burrs can be prevented. ) can be withdrawn and rotated. 7 is a front view, FIG. 8 is a right side view, and 9th PA is a left side view, showing the drive roller 34.

The fixing rod 35 is formed separately from the support plate 33.

The fixing rod 35 has a U-shaped cross section, and has end walls 56 with V-shaped notches 55 formed at both ends thereof. By forming the notch 55, the fixing rod 35 has some elasticity to bend inward. A plurality of drainage holes 5 are provided at the bottom of the fixed rod 35.
7 is formed. Claw pieces 59 that engage with the engagement holes 58 of the support plate 33 are formed on both edges of both ends of the fixing rod 35 . After expanding outward using the elasticity of the support plate 33, the claw pieces 59 of the fixing rod 35 are engaged with the engagement holes 58. Fixed rod 35
By attaching the support plate 33 to the support plate 33, it is possible to prevent the support plate 33 from expanding outward. The claw pieces 59 are formed with claws facing outward or inward and engaged with the engagement holes 58, so that even if an upward pulling force is applied to the fixing rod 35, the claw pieces 59
No force is applied to bend and remove the fixing rod 35, and the fixing rod 35 does not come off during use.

The belt-shaped filter 5 is mounted between the drive roller 34 and the fixed rod 35. When the drive motor 22 is driven, the inner surface of the belt-shaped filter 5 is pulled up by the drive roller 34 and sent to the outside m, so that the belt-shaped filter 5 slides on the curved outer surface of the fixed rod 35. It is something.

When the lid 6 is removed from the main frame 2 as shown in FIG. 2, the water W accumulated in the fixing rod 35 is smoothly drained from the drain hole 57. Rod 3 fixes the bottom of the belt-shaped filter
5, the structure is simpler than the conventional support using driven rollers, and the degree of freedom in designing the fixed rod 35 is also improved. The fixing rod 35 can also be molded integrally with the supporting plate 33 which is formed on the body and molded separately.

In addition, since cold air and humid air (1) are exposed to the inner surface of the ventilation passage, and the belt-shaped filter 5 and water tank 4 are constantly exposed to water, they become a source of germs and mold. When it is desirable to use a disinfectant, auxiliary agent, or aromatic agent because of the generation of a strange odor, it is possible to efficiently add the agent by forming a storage section for six agents in the entire or part of the groove of the fixing rod 35. This allows for replacement and replenishment. The storage part also has a fixed rod 3
Since the belt-shaped filter 5 does not move and the belt-shaped filter 5 slides around it, the structure can be simplified and addition to the belt-shaped filter 5 can be carried out efficiently.

In each of the above descriptions, the main frame 2, lid 6, water tank 4, drive roller 34, fixing rod 35, etc. are best molded with synthetic resin as a matter of design change, and water W and humidity are high. It is best to use moisture-resistant and water-resistant materials since they will be used in various conditions.

The optimal material for the belt-shaped filter 5 is a material with low ventilation resistance, good water absorption, strong tensile strength, and little sagging.In this structure, acrylic deodorizing m830%, polyester deodorizing m14m30%, and nylon 30% are used. A non-woven fabric is used. In order to facilitate replacement, cleaning, and assembly during production, the belt-shaped filter 5 is formed with a joint so that it can be moved toward and away from the belt, and has a flat plate shape with ends and an endless ring shape. The joints are connected using *S joining means called Velcro. The simple joining method is
Hook plate material 62 and hook body 61 with a large number of hook bodies 61 planted therein
A hook receiving plate material 6 having a large number of hook receiving bodies 63 on which
It consists of 4. As shown in FIG. 15, the hook body 61 is formed by cutting a part of la# planted in a loop shape to form an inverted J shape, and the hook receiver 63 is formed by cutting a part of la# planted in a loop shape into an inverted J shape. It is formed by The hook body 61 is dragged by the hook receiver 63 by its own elastic deformation, and a large number of hook bodies engage with each other, resulting in surface contact, and the force parallel to the plane and the engagement in the direction of pulling the belt-shaped filter 5 are It becomes strong, and the hooking body 61 can be deformed and separated by a force perpendicular to the surface or a force in the direction of peeling off. The hook plate material 62 and the hook receiving plate material 64 are sewn to the joint portion of the belt-shaped filter 5. In addition, as a means of changing the color of the hook plate material 62 and the hook receiving plate material 64, which are given different colors so that the hook plate material 62 and the hook receiving plate material 64 can be clearly visually distinguished, it is possible to change the color of the hook body 61 and the hook receiving body 63. There is.

By distinguishing the hook plate material 62 and the hook receiving plate material 64 by color, it is possible to perform the work without fail even when the two are separated when sewing them to the joint portion of the belt-shaped filter 5. When installing between the drive roller 34 and the fixed rod 35, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 15, the hook plate material 62 is placed on the inside and the hook receiving plate material 64 is placed on the outside.

By joining in this way, even if it is caught on the drive row 234, it is difficult to apply force to remove the joint, and even if the hook plate material 62 covers the belt-shaped filter 5 itself during the connection, the hook plate material 62 will be attached to the belt-shaped filter. Since 5 is a non-woven fabric, it engages with the drive roller 34 with its end raised.
Alternatively, the belt-shaped filter 5 is not caught on the fixing rod 35, and the joining is carried out using the flat part of the joining guide part 38 of the filter contact prevention body 36 as a stand from the viewpoint of workability.
As shown in FIG. 14, it is sufficient to join the hook receiving plate material 64 on the inside so that the faces of the hook receiving plate material 64 are on the inside. As a result, it gets caught on the drive roller 34 or the fixed rod 35, and the hook receiving plate material 64 and the hook plate material 6
The nine-piece structure is such that the hook plate material 64 and the hook plate material 62 can be distinguished by color, so that they can be easily distinguished from each other by color. By displaying (indication) explaining the joining in color on the guide portion 3841%, the user can perform proper joining without fail even if he or she does not understand the structure.

(G) Effects of the Invention In the present invention, the belt-shaped filter is supported in the water tank using a fixed rod, which simplifies the structure, facilitates water protection for submerged members, and allows for various shapes. can.
