Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dust collector for a vacuum cleaner.

In conventional vacuum cleaners, when discarding garbage in the dust collection case, the filter inserted on the electric blower side of the dust collection case must be removed to open the opening surface. Since the filter is inserted with elasticity through packing, there are drawbacks such as dust being scattered by the bounce when the filter is removed, and hands getting dirty when removing the filter. are doing.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dust collector for a vacuum cleaner that allows dust to be disposed of easily and hygienically without removing the filter.

This invention provides a semi-cylindrical case with a bottom opening that forms a dust collection chamber by vertically dividing a part other than the filter chamber of a dust collection case in which a filter chamber for storing a filter is formed into two parts with opening surfaces facing each other. It is formed by a support part in the shape of a support part and a divided container with an opening on the top surface, and the shape and dimensions are determined such that the divided container is housed in the support part with the opening face facing downward, and the rotation axis is approximately parallel to the floor surface. The container is rotatably connected to the support part with a seal member, and a sealing material is attached to the opening edge of the divided container to be joined to the inner surface of the support part. Therefore, when disposing of dust, the divided container is rotated to open the dust collection chamber downward, but at this time, a seal member is attached to the opening edge of the divided container to be joined to the inner surface of the support part. As a result, dust adhering to the inner surface of the support part is scraped out, making it possible to dispose of dust easily and hygienically with the filter attached. Since the filter is equipped with a dust remover, the dust can be removed from the filter at the same time as the dust is thrown away.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. A main body case 1 houses an electric blower 2 and a cord reel 3, and a dust collection case 6 is connected to the front surface of the main body case 1 by a clamp 4 and a locking part 5. A filter chamber 7 is formed on the exhaust side of the dust collection case 6 and is partitioned by a partition plate 8, and a filter 9 made of bent paper material into a bellows shape is inserted into the filter chamber 7 while being supported by a filter frame 10. has been done. The partition plate 8 has a large number of through holes 11.
is formed.

The part of the dust collecting case 6 other than the filter chamber 7 is divided into upper and lower halves to form a support part 12 with an opening on the bottom and a divided container 13 with an opening on the top. These support portions 12 and divided containers 13 have a semi-cylindrical shape. The divided container 13 is sized one size smaller so that it fits within the support portion 12 when the opening surface thereof faces downward. The divided container 13 is connected to a handle 16 provided on a support piece 14 formed at the center of the front surface of the support portion 12 and to the partition plate 8. A sealing material 15 that is bonded to the inner surface of the support portion 12 is fitted to the opening edge of the divided container 13 . A dust collection chamber 17 is formed by the divided container 13 and the support portion 12. A suction port 18 is formed in the support portion 12 .

Next, the filter 9 is placed in the filter chamber 7.
A rotating body 20 having a dust remover 19 interfering with the divided container 13 is supported so as to rotate integrally with the divided container 13 with its axis coinciding with the rotation axis of the divided container 13. A sealing material 21 is fixed to this rotating body 20. Further, the bottom of the filter chamber 7 is inclined downward toward the dust drop hole 22, and the dust drop hole 22 is closed by the sealing material 21.

Furthermore, the main body case 1 includes the divided container 1.
A support piece 23 extending downwardly from the rear wheel 2 is formed, and a turning wheel 24 is attached to this support piece 22.
5 are attached to both sides of the main body case 1 substantially in the center.

In such a configuration, outside air containing dust is sucked in through the suction port 18, the dust is collected in the dust collection chamber 17, and fine dust is captured by the filter 9.
When disposing of dust, the clamp 4 is operated to separate the dust collection case 6 from the main case 1. Next, the dust collection case 6 is carried by the handle 26 onto a predetermined trash can 27, etc., and the handle 16 is operated to rotate the divided container 13 as shown in FIG. As a result, the garbage is disposed of in the garbage container 27. At this time, since the sealing material 15 slides on the inner surface of the support portion 12, dust adhering to the inner surface is scraped off cleanly. Also,
The rotary body 20 is interlocked with the operation of the divided container 13, and a dust remover 19 vibrates the filter 9 to remove fine dust clogged in the filter 9. The fallen dust is guided to the slope at the bottom of the filter chamber 7 and enters the dust trap 2.
Fall from 2. Furthermore, the partition plate 8 has a large number of through holes 11 in the upper part and functions as a coarse filter, but the coarse dust that gets stuck in the through holes 11 when the divided container 13 is rotated is scraped off by the sealing material 15. Ru. Divided container 13
When the container is returned to its original position, the opening edges of the divided container 13 and the support portion 12 are sealed by the sealing material 15, and the leakage of dust from the dust trap hole 22 is prevented by the sealing material 21.

As described above, this invention provides a lower surface forming a dust collection chamber by vertically dividing a part of the dust collection case other than the filter chamber in which a filter chamber for accommodating a filter is formed into two and having opening surfaces facing each other. It is formed of a semi-cylindrical support part with an opening and a divided container with an opening on the top surface, and the shape and dimensions are determined so that the divided container is housed in the support part with the opening surface facing downward, and the container is arranged approximately parallel to the floor surface. Since the divided container is rotatably connected to the support part with a rotation axis, and a sealing material that is joined to the inner surface of the support part is attached to the opening edge of the divided container, the divided container can be rotated when disposing of the dust. The dust collection chamber is opened downward, but at this time, since a sealing member is attached to the opening edge of the divided container to be joined to the inner surface of the support section, dust adhering to the inner surface of the support section is scraped off. This prevents dust from adhering to the outer periphery of the divided container, making it possible to dispose of dust easily and hygienically with the filter attached. Since a dust remover is provided, it is possible to remove dust from the filter at the same time when throwing away dust.
