Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a nozzle for a dust collector, a dust collector, a bellows hose, a living body sensing lighting device, and a fire alarm device. [Background technology]

[0002] Dust collecting devices with improved suction performance have been known for some time now. As an example of such a dust collecting device, Patent Document 1 describes a vacuum cleaner head that is biased against and adapts to the surface being cleaned in order to maintain a sealed state between the vacuum cleaner head and the surface being cleaned. Furthermore, lighting devices that automatically turn on lights have been known for some time now. As an example of such lighting devices, Patent Document 2 describes an automatic toilet lighting device that can turn on the toilet lights only when necessary without bothering the user and is also less likely to malfunction. Furthermore, fire alarm systems that detect and notify fires have been known for some time. As an example of such a fire alarm system, Patent Document 3 describes a fire alarm device that allows the user to immediately recognize the location of a fire extinguisher even if a fire occurs in a dark place, and is not easily limited to a specific location and can be immediately adapted to a fire extinguisher that has been installed in the past.

[0004] When the inventors of the present invention examined the vacuum cleaner head described in Patent Document 1, they found that metallic foreign objects such as needles and metal pieces contained in dust were sucked in as they were, and that hair got tangled in the brush. They also found that dust and other particles easily adhere to the inner surface of the bellows hose used in vacuum cleaners, etc., resulting in reduced suction power and breakdowns. Furthermore, when the present inventors examined the automatic lighting device described in Patent Document 2, they found that the light hits the eyes and causes glare. Furthermore, when the inventors of the present invention examined the fire warning device described in Patent Document 3, they found that it lacked practicality because it was not possible to activate a fire extinguisher and it was not possible to identify the cause of the fire. The present invention aims to solve such problems, and to provide a dust collector nozzle, a dust collector and a bellows hose that are less likely to lose suction power and break down, a biosensing lighting device that is not dazzling, and a highly practical fire alarm device.

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. Note that the following present embodiment is an exemplification for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited only to the present embodiment. In this specification, "~" is used to mean including the numerical values described before and after it as the lower limit value and the upper limit value. In this specification, various physical property values and characteristic values are assumed to be those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. Also, regarding the descriptions of angles, vertical, parallel, etc. in this specification, an error of ±10° or less is regarded as an error, and the error is preferably ±5° or less, more preferably ±3° or less, and even more preferably ±1° or less. In FIGS. 1 to 12, the scale may not match the actual situation.

[0009] <Nozzle of the dust collector> FIGS. 1(a) and 2(a) show a plan view of the nozzle of the dust collector according to the first embodiment, where 1 is the nozzle of the dust collector, 2 is a brush, 3 is a suction port, 4 is a magnet, and 5 indicates the suction direction. The nozzle 1 of the dust collector according to the present embodiment is characterized in that it has a magnet 4 between the brush 2 and the suction port 3 in the suction direction 5 in which the dust collected through the brush 2 during dust collection is sucked. With such a configuration, it is possible to attach metal foreign matters such as needles and metal pieces contained in the dust to the magnet, and it is possible to provide a nozzle of a dust collector in which a decrease in suction force due to clogging of foreign matters is unlikely to occur and which is less likely to malfunction. Note that the suction port 3 may be directly connected to the suction device or may be connected via a connection part. Examples of the connection part include a connector and the like.

[0010] FIGS. 1(b) and 2(b) show a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of the nozzle of the dust collector according to the first embodiment, where 1 is the nozzle of the dust collector, 2 is a brush, 3 is a suction port, 4 is a magnet, 5 is the suction direction, 6 is the outermost surface of the brush, and 7 is the dust. The position of the magnet 4 of the nozzle 1 of the dust collector of this embodiment is preferably 0.1 cm or more, more preferably 0.5 cm or more, even more preferably 1 cm or more, and preferably 5 cm or less, more preferably 4 cm or less, and even more preferably 3 cm or less, from the outermost surface 6 of the brush on the side closer to dust 7 between the brush 2 and the suction port 3. By making the distance equal to or greater than the above lower limit, the magnet is prevented from coming into contact with the brush, and the cleaning area is prevented from being damaged by the magnet during cleaning. Also, by making the distance equal to or less than the above upper limit, foreign matter scattered by the brush can be more effectively attached to the magnet. It is also preferable that the magnet is removable, so that metallic foreign matter adhering to the magnet can be easily collected.

[0011] The magnetic force of the magnet in the nozzle of the dust collector is preferably 200 mT or more, more preferably 250 mT or more, and even more preferably 300 mT or more, and is preferably 500 mT or less, more preferably 450 mT or less, and even more preferably 400 mT or less. By setting the magnetic force to be equal to or greater than the lower limit, the magnet can more effectively collect metallic foreign matter. By setting the magnetic force to be equal to or less than the upper limit, metallic foreign matter adhering to the magnet can be easily removed.

[0012] The type of magnet in the nozzle of the dust collecting device is not particularly limited as long as it has a predetermined magnetic force, and for example, a ferrite magnet, a neodymium magnet, a samarium-cobalt magnet, an alnico magnet, etc. can be used.

[0013] The magnet of the nozzle of the dust collecting device preferably has a curved shape, which can prevent damage to floors, etc. during cleaning. The size of the magnet in the lateral direction (perpendicular to the suction direction) of the nozzle of the dust collector is preferably equal to or smaller than the width of the brush (side perpendicular to the suction direction) and equal to or larger than the diameter of the suction port. By making the size in this way, foreign matter can be more efficiently attracted to the magnet. Furthermore, the size of the magnet in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the suction direction) is not particularly limited as long as it can be placed between the brush and the suction port, and can be any size. Furthermore, the thickness of the magnet is not particularly limited as long as it does not interfere with suction, and can be any thickness.

[0014] 3(a) and 5(a) are plan views of the nozzle of the dust collector of the second embodiment, in which 1 indicates the nozzle of the dust collector, 2' indicates the rotary brush, 3 indicates the suction port, 5 indicates the suction direction, 6 indicates the outermost surface of the brush, 8 indicates the blade, and 9 indicates the rotation axis of the rotary brush. Note that, in the case of a non-rotating brush, the outermost surface 6 of the brush is exemplified as the position closest to the dust collection surface or cleaning surface when dust is collected by the dust collector, and in the case of a rotary brush, it is exemplified as the outer peripheral surface of the brush. The nozzle 1 of the dust collector of this embodiment is characterized in that the suction direction 5 in which dust collected through the rotary brush 2' is sucked in during dust collection is perpendicular to the rotary brush rotation axis 9 (longitudinal direction of the brush), and the blade is parallel to the rotary brush rotation axis 9 (longitudinal direction of the brush) and located 0.5 to 5 cm inside the outermost surface 6 of the brush. With this configuration, when hair contained in dust gets tangled in the brush, the hair can be cut with the blade, making it possible to provide a nozzle of a dust collector that is less likely to experience a decrease in suction power due to hair tangling and is less likely to break down. In addition, hair is less likely to clog the nozzle, etc., making it possible to reduce the effort required for the user to maintain the dust collector.

[0015] Figures 3(b) and 5(b) show a plan view and an A-A' cross-sectional view of the nozzle of the dust collector of the second embodiment, in which 1 indicates the nozzle of the dust collector, 2' indicates the rotary brush, 3 indicates the suction port, 5 indicates the suction direction, 6 indicates the outermost surface of the brush, 8 indicates a blade, and 9 indicates the rotation axis of the rotary brush. The position of the blade 8 of the nozzle 1 of the dust collecting device of this embodiment is preferably 0.5 cm or more from the outermost surface 6 of the brush, more preferably 1 cm or more, and preferably 5 cm or less, more preferably 3 cm or less. By making it equal to or greater than the above lower limit, the blade can be prevented from damaging the floor or the like during cleaning. Also, by making it equal to or less than the above upper limit, hair tangled in the brush can be cut more effectively. In addition, the blade 8 may be movable, i.e., it may be configured to be stored inside the brush during cleaning and to be pulled out to the outermost surface of the brush during maintenance of the dust collection device to cut hair wrapped around the brush.

[0016] The material of the blade of the nozzle of the dust collecting device is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, stainless steel.

[0017] Figures 4 and 6 show the nozzle of the dust collector of the second embodiment, where 1 is the nozzle of the dust collector, 2' is the rotary brush, 3 is the suction port, 3' is the center of the suction port, 6 is the outermost surface of the brush, 8 is the blade, 9 is the rotation axis of the rotary brush, and α indicates the position where the distance between the center 3' of the suction port and the rotation axis 9 of the rotary brush is shortest. The blade 8 of the nozzle 1 of the dust collector of this embodiment is preferably arranged to include a position α where the distance between the center 3' of the suction port connected to the suction device and the rotation axis 9 of the rotary brush (the side in the longitudinal direction of the brush in the case of a non-rotating brush) is the shortest. Collected dust including hair tends to be concentrated and sucked in a position close to the suction port. Therefore, by arranging the blade 8 to include a position α where the distance between the center 3' of the suction port and the rotation axis 9 of the rotary brush is the shortest, hair that tends to get tangled in the brush can be effectively cut.

[0018] The shape and size of the blade of the nozzle of the dust collecting device are not particularly limited as long as they are capable of being placed on a brush and cutting hair, and can be of any shape and size. It is also preferred that the blade is removable, which allows for the blade to be sharpened.

[0020] <Bellows hose> FIG. 7 shows the bellows hose of this embodiment, where 10 indicates the bellows hose and 11 indicates the lubricating coating layer. The bellows hose 10 of the present embodiment is characterized in that the inside thereof is provided with a lubricious coating layer 11. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from adhering to the inside of the bellows hose, and it is possible to provide a bellows hose that is less susceptible to reduced suction power and clogging.

[0021] The thickness of the lubricating coating layer provided on the bellows hose is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, and even more preferably 30 μm or more, and is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 70 cm or less, and even more preferably 50 cm or less. By making the thickness equal to or greater than the lower limit, damage to the coating layer due to bending of the bellows hose can be prevented. Also, by making the thickness equal to or less than the upper limit, the flexibility of the bellows hose can be prevented from being impaired.

[0022] The lubricating coating layer provided on the bellows hose is preferably made of a soft material that prevents adhesion of dust and does not impede bending of the bellows hose, such as a fluororesin coating or parylene coating.

[0023] The bellows hose of the present embodiment can be used in an air conditioning device, a dust collecting device, a cleaning device, etc. An example of the air conditioning device is an air conditioner, an example of the dust collecting device is a vacuum cleaner, and an example of the cleaning device is a washing machine.
