Reference numeral 5 denotes a fan provided for cooling the electric blower, which is provided coaxially with a rotor (not shown) of the electric blower 2, and the flow of the cooling air is shown by B in the figure. 6 is a handle, which is fixed to the upper part of the main body of the vacuum cleaner with screws. Reference numeral 7 is a vacuum cleaner component support portion that holds a suction opening 8 for a gap and a round brush 9, and a support portion 12 for storing a stand for storing the hose 10 and the extension pipe 11 attached thereto. The mounting portion 13, the round brush mounting portion 14, and the power cord supporting portion 15 are respectively formed on them, and are integrally formed with the lower case 15 of the cleaner body 1. Reference numeral 16 is a float support portion provided on the upstream side of the intake port 3 of the cleaner body 1, and is configured to support the float 17 slidably up and down inside.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a filter device, which is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom as a whole. The bottom surface of the filter device 18 is a water permeable filter 19, which is made of a water permeable material (RB-93-74 manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., which has a laminated structure consisting of two layers.). There is. on the other hand,
The side surface is the water-impermeable filter 20, which is made of a water-impermeable material (RB-93-73 manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.
It has a laminated structure composed of layers. ). Reference numeral 21 is a resin-made support frame provided in a ring shape at the upper edge of the filter device 18, and 22 is a buffer frame body (filter support) formed by covering the upper and lower and outer peripheral portions of the support frame 21 with an elastic material (soft ENVI). Member). Reference numeral 23 is a pre-filter provided on the upstream side of the filter device 18, and relatively large dust such as paper waste is filtered by this pre-filter.

A dust collecting container 24 has a hose insertion port 25 for mounting the hose 10 on its side surface, and a total of four casters 26 provided on the bottom surface in the front, rear, left and right directions. Then, the caster 26 is inserted with a screw 28 from a screw insertion hole 27 provided on the bottom surface of the dust collecting container 24, and the screw is further fixed to the caster fixing member 30 through an elastic material seal plate 29. By fixing in this way, the liquid accumulated in the dust container is prevented from leaking from the screw insertion hole 27, and since the liquid does not come into direct contact with the screw 28, corrosion of the screw 28 can be prevented. I can. Reference numeral 31 denotes an air flow direction changing plate provided to prevent the filter device 18 from being damaged by the air containing dust or liquid sucked from the hose insertion port 25 directly hitting the filter device 18. The sucked air is dispersed to the left and right of the dust collecting container. Thus, the opening 32 is provided.

Reference numeral 33 is a clamp device for connecting the cleaner body 1 and the dust collecting container 24, and a pair of clamp devices is provided on the left and right sides of the cleaner body 1. Reference numeral 34 is a power switch provided on the upper surface of the cleaner body.

Since the electric vacuum cleaner of the present embodiment is constructed as described above, the vacuum cleaner part supporting portion integrally formed in the lower case of the vacuum cleaner main body has a cushion frame body (filter supporting body) formed of an elastic material. Since it is placed on the dust collection container via the (member), even if a large force is applied when attaching or detaching the parts to or from the vacuum cleaner part support, the buffer frame (filter support member) absorbs the force. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner component supporting member is not damaged. Further, when the electric vacuum cleaner is moved during cleaning, even if the electric vacuum cleaner as a whole vibrates up and down due to unevenness of the floor surface, the buffer frame (filter support member) absorbs the vibration.

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the cleaner part support is placed on the dust collecting container through the filter support member, even if a large force is applied to the cleaner part support, the elastic member is more effective than the elastic member. The resulting filter support member absorbs this force and prevents damage to the cleaner part support. In addition, vertical vibrations received during movement of the vacuum cleaner are also absorbed by this filter support member, so it is difficult for vibrations to be transmitted to the gap suction port and the round brush supported by the vacuum cleaner component support part, and these may fall off. Absent. Further, since the exhaust port is provided on the lower surface of the vacuum cleaner component supporting portion, the exhaust port does not appear in appearance and is excellent in design, and moreover, the air exhausted from the exhaust port does not go upward. It is possible to construct an electric vacuum cleaner in which the exhaust gas does not directly hit the user of the electric vacuum cleaner.
