JPH0584191A - Dust collection bag for vacuum cleaner - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent bad smell from being generated from a dust collection bag set in a vacuum cleaner. CONSTITUTION:A dust collection bag 1 is made from nonwoven fabric, as material therefor, comprising fiber material such as pulp, natural fiber, synthetic fiber, etc., wherein active carbon is carried by the material or mixed thereinto, so that a dust collection bag for a vacuum cleaner is provided. By the adsorption function of the active carbon of the bag 1, bad smell is prevented from mixing into waste gas.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dust bag for an electric vacuum cleaner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a disposable dust bag used in an electric vacuum cleaner has a bag-like shape in which non-woven fabric and the like are stuck together, and the collected dust can be easily discarded without soiling the hands.

[0003]

However, in the conventional dust collecting bag, organic substances such as food waste, hair, dandruff, and fleas and mites adhering to them are collected inside the dust collecting bag. Then, when it changes to a substance that keeps a bad odor due to oxidation or decomposition by microorganisms, it keeps a bad odor from the exhaust port when the cleaner is operated next time.

Furthermore, the dust collecting bag of the recent vacuum cleaner has a large storage volume as the suction power and the dust collecting capacity of the vacuum cleaner increase, and therefore the high temperature and high humidity which promotes the action of producing the malodorous element. During the rainy season, the offensive odors are markedly generated.

The present invention is intended to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to prevent generation of a bad odor from a dust bag.

[0006]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses a non-woven fabric made of a fibrous material such as pulp, natural fiber or synthetic fiber as a material, and supports or mixes activated carbon with the material. Is.

[0007]

With this structure, the bad odor from the bad odor component contained in the dust bag is deodorized by the adsorbing action of the activated carbon, and the bad bag is prevented from generating the bad odor.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 is a main body of a dust bag, and 2 is a paper sheet attached to the main body 1 of the dust bag and having an opening 3. The dust bag body 1 is made of a material such as a nonwoven fabric made of a fibrous material such as pulp, natural fiber, synthetic fiber or the like, and activated carbon is supported or mixed with this material.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a test state in which exhaust gas from an electric vacuum cleaner is collected and the performance of a dust bag of the electric vacuum cleaner is evaluated. 4 is an electric vacuum cleaner, 5 is an exhaust gas collector, 6 is an odor bag connected to the collector 5.

The electric vacuum cleaner 4 shown in FIG. 2 is a new one that has been sufficiently idled to remove the odor of resin and the like.
Usually called a bag. ), And a dust bag carrying or mixing the activated carbon (hereinafter referred to as an activated carbon bag) were attached, exhaust gas was collected by the collector 5, and a sensory test was conducted by a 6-stage odor intensity method.

As the activated carbon bag, one produced by using activated carbon fiber paper manufactured by Kuraray Chemical Co., Ltd. was used. This activated carbon paper had a basis weight of 50 g / m ² and an activated carbon content of 50%, and used about 0.36 m ² in a bag.

[0012] Prior to the test, 20 g of each vacuum cleaner dust is put in a normal bag and an activated carbon bag, and stored for 1 day in an air-conditioned room at a temperature of 25 ° C and a humidity of 60% or less. Then, a dust bag is attached to the electric vacuum cleaner 4, and the exhaust gas is sampled into the odor bag 6 via the collector 5 as shown in FIG. After that, the exhaust of the normal bag and the activated carbon bag are sensory-tested.

By repeating this operation, it is examined how the odor intensity changes as the amount of dust increases to 20 g, 40 g, 60 g and 80 g. The results are shown in Table 1. The results are shown as the average of the values felt by the panelists.

[0014]

[Table 1]

From the results shown in Table 1 above, even if the amount of dust increases, the odor intensity of the exhaust of the activated carbon bag is lower than that of the normal bag by 1 point or more, and the activated carbon bag has a strong deodorizing effect on the dust of the vacuum cleaner. You can see that

[0016]

Industrial Applicability As described above, according to the present invention, a non-woven fabric or the like is used as a material, and the adsorbing action of the dust bag in which activated carbon is carried or mixed with the material causes a bad odor from the dust collected in the dust bag. It is possible to suppress the generation of elements, prevent a bad odor from being emitted from the exhaust port during operation of the electric vacuum cleaner, and perform cleaning without discomfort.
