Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a part of a magnetic substance remover 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another part of the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1 with the handle 40 rotated with respect to the main body 10. First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, an overview of the magnetic substance remover 100 will be described.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the magnetic substance remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention is used to remove a magnetic substance 1 (see FIGS. 9 etc.) such as iron powder, and includes a main body 10, a handle 40, and a moving mechanism 50. Also, although details will be described later, the magnetic substance remover 100 includes a magnet 20 and a yoke 30 (see FIGS. 5 etc.) housed in the main body 10.

[0019] The main body 10 has a first adhesion surface 16, a second adhesion surface 17, and a first gripping portion 12.

[0020] The first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17 are surfaces for attaching the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 10. As described above, the magnet 20 is accommodated in the main body 10, and by the magnetic force of the magnet 20, the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 10 can be attracted and attached to the first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17.

[0021] The first gripping portion 12 is a portion for the user of the magnetic body remover 100 to grip. In a state where the handle 40 is removed from the main body 10, the user can grip the first gripping portion 12 and use the magnetic body remover 100.

[0022] The handle 40 is detachably attached to the main body 10. The handle 40 has an attachment portion 41 and a second gripping portion 42.

[0023] The attachment portion 41 is a fixture for detachably attaching the handle 40 to the main body 10, and is disposed at one end of the handle 40. The attachment portion 41 is detachably attached to the attachment portion 15 of the main body 10. Note that the method of attaching the handle 40 to the main body 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can be detachably attached to the main body 10.

[0024] The second gripping portion 42 is a portion for the user of the magnetic body remover 100 to grip. In a state where the handle 40 is attached to the main body 10, the user can grip the second gripping portion 42 and use the magnetic body remover 100. The second gripping portion 42 is disposed at the other end of the handle 40.

[0025] The moving mechanism 50 is a mechanism for moving the magnet 20 to a first position (see Fig. 5 etc.) where the magnetic body 1 can be attracted by magnetic force and attached to the first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17, and to a second position (see Fig. 7 etc.) which is located on the other side of the first position in the first direction (the X-axis direction in Fig. 1 etc.) and where the magnetic body 1 cannot be attached to the first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17. The first direction is an example of a predetermined direction. The moving mechanism 50 has a first movable part 51, a first connecting part 52, a second movable part 54, and a second connecting part 55.

[0026] The first movable part 51 can move relative to the first gripping part 12. The first connecting part 52 connects the magnet 20 and the first movable part 51 such that when the first movable part 51 moves relative to the first gripping part 12, the magnet 20 moves between the first position and the second position.

[0027] The second movable part 54 can move relative to the second gripping part 42. The second connecting part 55 connects the first movable part 51 and the second movable part 54 such that when the second movable part 54 moves relative to the second gripping part 42, the first movable part 51 moves relative to the first gripping part 12. The second connecting part 55 is composed of a rod body 55a and a wire 55b.

[0028] The rod body 55a is connected to the second movable part 54 and is slidably supported by the handle 40 inside the handle 40. The wire 55b is connected to the rod body 55a and the first movable part 51. By moving the second movable part 54 relative to the second gripping part 42, the first movable part 51 moves relative to the first gripping part 12 via the rod body 55a and the wire 55b. Thereby, the magnet 20 can be moved and positioned between the first position and the second position.

[0029] For example, when the user removes the magnetic material 1 that has fallen on the floor or the like using the magnetic material remover 100, with the handle 40 attached to the main body 10, the user grips the second gripping portion 42 and brings the first attachment surface 16 closer to the magnetic material 1. When the first attachment surface 16 is brought closer to the magnetic material 1, the magnetic material 1 is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet 20 and adheres to the first attachment surface 16. With the magnetic material 1 adhering to the first attachment surface 16, the user moves the first attachment surface 16 above a recovery container or the like (not shown) and pulls the second movable portion 54 to the side opposite to the main body 10 side. In the state where the second movable portion 54 is pulled to the side opposite to the main body 10 side, the magnet 20 is in the second position, and the magnetic material 1 adhering to the first attachment surface 16 falls and is recovered into a recovery container or the like.

[0030] Also, for example, when the handle 40 gets in the way and the user cannot bring the first attachment surface 16 close to the magnetic material 1, the user can also grip the first gripping portion 12 with the handle 40 removed from the main body 10 and bring the first attachment surface 16 close to the magnetic material 1. In this case, the user moves the first attachment surface 16 with the magnetic material 1 adhering thereto above a recovery container or the like and pulls the first movable portion 51 toward the first gripping portion 12 side. In the state where the first movable portion 51 is pulled toward the first gripping portion 12 side, similar to the state where the second movable portion 54 is pulled to the side opposite to the main body 10 side, the magnet 20 is in the second position, and the magnetic material 1 adhering to the first attachment surface 16 falls and is recovered into a recovery container or the like.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 40 is rotatable with respect to the main body 10. Therefore, for example, the user can also use the magnetic material remover 100 by setting the angle of the handle 40 with respect to the main body 10 to an angle at which it is easy to bring the first attachment surface 16 close to the magnetic material 1.

[0032] The outline of the magnetic material remover 100 has been described above.

[0033] FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the magnetic body remover 100 of FIG. 1 with the handle 40 removed from the main body 10. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 4 showing the state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 4 showing the state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 4 showing the state where the magnet 20 is located at the second position. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 4 showing the state where the magnet 20 is located at the second position. Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8, the magnetic body remover 100 will be described in detail.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the magnetic body remover 100 includes a main body 10, a magnet 20, a yoke 30, a handle 40, and a moving mechanism 50.

[0035] The main body 10 has an adhesion surface forming portion 11, a first gripping portion 12, a connecting portion 13, a support portion 14, and a mounting portion 15. For example, the adhesion surface forming portion 11, the first gripping portion 12, the connecting portion 13, and the support portion 14 are formed of a non-magnetic material.

[0036] The adhesion surface forming portion 11 forms an adhesion surface for adhering the magnetic body 1. The adhesion surface forming portion 11 has a first adhesion surface 16 and a second adhesion surface 17.

[0037] The first adhesion surface 16 is a surface for adhering the magnetic body. The first adhesion surface 16 is located on one side of the magnet 20 (the plus side in the X-axis direction in FIG. 1, etc.) in the first direction. The first adhesion surface 16 has a flat portion 16a and a protrusion portion 16b.

[0038] The flat portion 16a is located on one side of the magnet 20 in the first direction. That is, the flat portion 16a overlaps the magnet 20 in the first direction. The flat portion 16a extends in a second direction (the Y-axis direction in FIGS. 5, etc.) orthogonal to the first direction and also extends in a third direction (the Z-axis direction in FIGS. 5, etc.) orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The flat portion 16a is elongated in the second direction. The second direction is an example of an intersecting direction intersecting a predetermined direction. Also, the second direction and the third direction are examples of orthogonal directions orthogonal to the predetermined direction.

[0039] The protruding portion 16b protrudes toward one side in the first direction. Specifically, the protruding portion 16b protrudes from the flat portion 16a toward one side in the first direction. A plurality of protruding portions 16b are arranged in the second direction. The protruding portion 16b is arranged at the central portion of the flat portion 16a in the third direction. The protruding portion 16b is located on one side of the magnet 20 in the first direction. That is, the protruding portion 16b overlaps with the magnet 20 in the first direction. The protruding portion 16b has an inclined portion 16c (see FIG. 4).

[0040] The protruding portion 16b is inclined so that the width gradually narrows as it goes toward one side in the first direction, and the inclined portion 16c is an inclined surface of the protruding portion 16b. When viewed from the second direction, the protruding portion 16b is inclined so that the width gradually narrows as it goes toward one side in the first direction, and the inclined surface is inclined with respect to the first direction.

[0041] The second attachment surface 17 is located in the second direction and the third direction with respect to the magnet 20 in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position. In the present embodiment, the second attachment surface 17 is arranged in a substantially rectangular shape so as to surround the magnet 20 around the first direction in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position. The second attachment surface 17 has a first surface portion 17a and a second surface portion 17b.

[0042] The first surface portion 17a extends in the first direction. In the present embodiment, the first surface portion 17a extends from the peripheral portion of the flat portion 16a to the other side in the first direction, is arranged along the peripheral portion of the flat portion 16a, and is arranged in a substantially rectangular shape so as to surround the magnet 20 around the first direction in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position.

[0043] The second face portion 17b extends from the other end of the first face portion 17a in the first direction to the side opposite to the magnet 20 side in the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the first direction. The second face portion 17b is arranged in a substantially rectangular shape around the first direction along the other end of the first face portion 17a in the first direction. The second face portion 17b is located on one side of the magnet 20 in the first fixed direction in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the second position.

[0044] The first gripping portion 12 is located on the other side of the first adhesion surface 16 and the magnet 20 etc. in the first direction and extends in the second direction. The first gripping portion 12 is cylindrical.

[0045] The connecting portion 13 connects the adhesion surface forming portion 11 and the first gripping portion 12. The connecting portion 13 has a peripheral wall portion 13a and column portions 13b, 13c.

[0046] The peripheral wall portion 13a is connected to the adhesion surface forming portion 11. The peripheral wall portion 13a is annular around the first direction, and the magnet 20 and the yoke 30 are accommodated movably in the first direction inside the adhesion surface forming portion 11 and the peripheral wall portion 13a. The peripheral wall portion 13a has a groove portion 13d that opens in the first direction and extends in the second direction at the other end in the first direction. The first connecting portion 52 is inserted slidably in the first direction into the groove portion 13d.

[0047] The column portion 13b extends in the first direction and is connected to the end of the first gripping portion 12 on one side (the plus side in the Y-axis direction in FIG. 4 etc.) in the second direction and the peripheral wall portion 13a. The column portion 13b is cylindrical. The column portion 13b has a groove portion 13e that opens in the second direction, extends in the first direction, and communicates with the groove portion 13d at the other end in the second direction (the minus side in the Y-axis direction in FIG. 4 etc.). The first connecting portion 52 is inserted slidably in the first direction into the groove portion 13e.

[0048] The column portion 13c extends in the first direction and is connected to the other end of the first gripping portion 12 in the second direction and the peripheral wall portion 13a. The column portion 13c is cylindrical. The column portion 13c has a groove portion 13f that opens in the second direction, extends in the first direction, and communicates with the groove portion 13d at one end in the second direction. A first connecting portion 52 is slidably inserted into the groove portion 13f in the first direction.

[0049] The support portion 14 extends in the first direction. The support portion 14 is disposed inside the column portion 13b and slidably supports the sliding portion 53 of the moving mechanism 50 in the first direction. Further, the support portion 14 is also disposed inside the column portion 13c and slidably supports the sliding portion 53 of the moving mechanism 50 in the first direction.

[0050] The attachment portion 15 is accommodated in the first gripping portion 12. The attachment portion 15 is a fixture for detachably attaching the handle 40. The attachment portion 15 has a structure in which the attachment portion 41 of the handle 40 is detachably attached. Further, the attachment portion 15 has a rotation mechanism, whereby the handle 40 can rotate with respect to the main body 10.

[0051] The magnet 20 is accommodated in the main body 10. The magnet 20 can attract the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 1 by magnetic force and attach it to the first attachment surface 16. Further, the magnet 20 can attract the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 1 by magnetic force and attach it to the second attachment surface 17. In the present embodiment, when the magnet 20 is located at the first position, the magnet 20 can attract the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 1 by magnetic force and attach it to the first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17. Further, when the magnet 20 is located at the second position, the magnet 20 cannot attract the magnetic body 1 outside the main body 1 by magnetic force, and the magnetic body 1 cannot be attached to the first attachment surface 16 and the second attachment surface 17.

[0052] The magnet 20 is magnetized in the first direction. For example, one side in the first direction becomes the S pole and the other side in the first direction becomes the N pole. The magnet 20 is elongated in the second direction and is substantially rectangular parallelepiped.

[0053] The yoke 30 is open on one side in the first direction, and a magnet 20 is disposed inside the yoke 30. The yoke 30 extends in the second and third directions on the other side of the magnet 20 in the first direction and is connected to the magnet 20. The yoke 30 extends in the first and second directions on one side of the magnet 20 in the third direction (the plus side in the Z-axis direction in FIG. 4 etc.) and faces the magnet 20 with a gap therebetween. The yoke 30 extends in the first and second directions on the other side of the magnet 20 in the third direction (the minus side in the Z-axis direction in FIG. 4 etc.) and faces the magnet 20 with a gap therebetween. The yoke 30 is elongated in the second direction. For example, the yoke 30 is magnetized by the magnet 20 so that one end of the yoke 30 in the first direction becomes the N pole.

[0054] As described above, the moving mechanism 50 includes a first movable part 51, a first connecting part 52, a second movable part 54, and a second connecting part 55. Further, the moving mechanism 50 has a sliding part 53.

[0055] The first movable part 51 is movable relative to the first gripping part 12. In the present embodiment, the first movable part 51 extends in the second direction, is located on one side of the first gripping part 12 in the first direction, and is movable in the first direction. The first movable part 51 is arranged so that the magnet 20 is located at the first position when not operated by the user.

[0056] The first connecting part 52 connects the magnet 20 and the first movable part 51 so that the magnet 20 moves between the first position and the second position when the first movable part 51 moves relative to the first gripping part 12. For example, by moving the first movable part 51 to a position in contact with the first gripping part 12, the magnet 20 is located at the second position. The first connecting part 52 is formed to bifurcate on the first movable part 51 side and is connected to both ends of the first movable part 51 in the second direction. The first connecting part 52 is integrally formed with the first movable part 51. The first connecting part 52 is fixed to the yoke 30 by bolts or the like and is fixed to the magnet 20 via the yoke 30.

[0057] The sliding part 53 extends in the first direction. The sliding part 53 is disposed on one side of the first connecting part 52 in the second direction and is slidably supported by the support part 14 in the first direction. Further, the sliding part 53 is also disposed on the other side of the first connecting part 52 in the second direction and is slidably supported by the support part 14 in the first direction.

[0058] The details of the magnetic substance remover 100 have been described above.

[0059] FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a first usage example of the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a second usage example of the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a third usage example of the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a fourth usage example of the magnetic substance remover 100 of FIG. 1. Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12, the first to fourth usage examples of the magnetic substance remover 100 will be described.

[0060] First, with reference to FIG. 9, the first usage example will be described. When removing the magnetic substance 1 that has fallen on the floor, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the first adhering surface 16 is brought close to the magnetic substance 1. As shown in FIG. 9(b), when the first adhering surface 16 is brought close to the magnetic substance 1 to a certain extent, the magnetic substance 1 adheres to the first adhering surface 16. As shown in FIG. 9(c), by moving the first adhering surface 16 to which the magnetic substance 1 has adhered above a recovery container or the like and moving the magnet 20 to the second position, the magnetic substance 1 can be dropped into the recovery container or the like. In this way, the magnetic substance 1 that has fallen on the floor can be removed.

[0061] Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a second usage example will be described. As shown in FIG. 10(a), when moving the magnet 20 to the second position from the state where the magnetic body 1 is attached to the first attachment surface 16, as shown in FIG. 10(b), as the magnet 20 moves to the other side in the first direction, the magnetic body 1 may also move to the other side in the first direction. As shown in FIG. 10(c), even when the magnetic body 1 has moved to the other side in the first direction as the magnet 20 moves to the other side in the first direction, the second attachment surface 17 can prevent the magnetic body 1 from moving to the other side in the first direction while allowing the magnet 20 to move to the other side in the first direction and be positioned at the second position. Therefore, the magnetic body 1 can be dropped from the second attachment surface 17 and put into a recovery container or the like.

[0062] Next, with reference to FIG. 11, a third usage example will be described. As shown in FIG. 11(a), when the magnetic body 1 has entered a groove such as a deck plate, the protrusion 16b is made to enter the groove. In the magnetic body remover 100, since the magnet 20 and the yoke 30 can generate a magnetic force so that the deck plate is difficult to be magnetized (see the thick arrow in FIG. 11(a)), magnetization of the deck plate can be suppressed. Therefore, the magnetic body 1 can be attracted more reliably, and as shown in FIG. 11(b), the magnetic body 1 can be attached to the first attachment surface 16. As shown in FIG. 11(c), with the magnetic body 1 attached to the first attachment surface 16, by separating the first attachment surface 16 from the groove, the magnetic body 1 that has entered the groove can be removed.

[0063] Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a fourth usage example will be described. As shown in FIG. 12(a), when the magnetic body 1 has fallen into the corner between the wall and the floor, the protrusion 16b is brought close to the corner. By doing so, the magnetic body 1 can be attracted. As shown in FIG. 12(b), with the magnetic body 1 attached to the first attachment surface 16, by separating the first attachment surface 16 from the corner, the magnetic body 1 that has fallen into the corner can be removed.

[0064] The first to fourth usage examples of the magnetic body remover 100 have been described above.

[0065] As described above, the magnetic substance remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above includes a main body 10 and a magnet 20 accommodated in the main body 10. The main body 10 is located on one side of the magnet 20 in a predetermined direction (the first direction), and has a first adhesion surface 16 for attaching the magnetic substance 1 outside the main body 10. The magnet 20 can attract the magnetic substance 1 by magnetic force and attach it to the first adhesion surface 16. The first adhesion surface 16 has a protrusion 16b protruding on one side in a predetermined direction (the first direction).

[0066] According to this, since the first adhesion surface 16 has the protrusion 16b, it is possible to form a gap between the magnetic substance 1 and the first adhesion surface 16 while suppressing the magnet 20 from approaching the magnetic substance 1 too much. Therefore, it becomes easier to attach the magnetic substance 1 to the first adhesion surface 16, and the magnetic substance 1 can be removed more efficiently than before.

[0067] Further, in the magnetic substance remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the width of the protrusion 16b gradually decreases as it goes toward one side in a predetermined direction (the first direction).

[0068] According to this, when the magnetic substance 1 enters a narrow gap or falls into a corner, it is possible to prevent the protrusion 16b from getting in the way when bringing the first adhesion surface 16 close to the gap or the corner. Therefore, the magnetic substance 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0069] Further, in the magnetic substance remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the first adhesion surface 16 is elongated in an intersecting direction (the second direction) intersecting the predetermined direction (the first direction), and a plurality of protrusions 16b are arranged in the intersecting direction (the second direction).

[0070] According to this, a gap can be more easily formed between the magnetic substance 1 and the first adhesion surface 16. Therefore, it becomes easier to attach the magnetic substance 1 to the first adhesion surface 16, and the magnetic substance 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0071] Also, in the magnetic body remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the protrusion 16b is located on one side of the magnet 20 in a predetermined direction (first direction).

[0072] According to this, since it becomes easier to attach the magnetic body 1 to the protrusion 16b, the magnetic body 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0073] Further, in the magnetic body remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, a moving mechanism 50 for moving the magnet 20 is provided between a first position where the magnetic body 1 can be attracted by magnetic force and attached to the first attachment surface 16, and a second position located on the other side of the first position in a predetermined direction (first direction) and where the magnetic body 1 cannot be attached to the first attachment surface 16.

[0074] According to this, the magnetic body 1 attached to the first attachment surface 16 can be more easily removed from the first attachment surface 16, so that the magnetic body 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0075] Also, in the magnetic body remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the main body 10 is located in an orthogonal direction (second direction, third direction) orthogonal to a predetermined direction (first direction) with respect to the magnet 20 in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the first position, and has a second attachment surface 17 for attaching the magnetic body 1. The magnet 20 can attract the magnetic body 1 by magnetic force and attach it to the second attachment surface 17 in a state where it is located at the first position. The second attachment surface 17 has a first surface portion 17a extending in a predetermined direction (first direction) and a second surface portion 17b extending from the end on the other side of the first surface portion 17a in a predetermined direction (first direction) to the side opposite to the magnet 20 side in the orthogonal direction (second direction, third direction). The second surface portion 17b is located on one side of the magnet 20 in a predetermined direction (first direction) in a state where the magnet 20 is located at the second position.

[0076] According to this, even when the magnetic body 1 attached to the first attachment surface 16 or the second attachment surface 17 moves to the other side in a predetermined direction as the magnet 20 moves to the other side in the predetermined direction, the movement of the magnetic body 1 can be blocked by the second surface portion 17b, and the magnetic body 1 can be more easily removed from the second attachment surface 17. Therefore, the magnetic body 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0077] Further, in the magnetic body remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above, it includes a handle 40 detachably attached to the main body 10. The main body 10 has a first gripping portion 12, the handle 40 has a second gripping portion 42, and the moving mechanism 50 includes a first movable portion 51 movable with respect to the first gripping portion 12, a first connecting portion 52 connecting the magnet 20 and the first movable portion 51 such that the magnet 20 moves between a first position and a second position when the first movable portion 51 moves with respect to the first gripping portion 12, a second movable portion 54 movable with respect to the second gripping portion 42, and a second connecting portion 55 connecting the first movable portion 51 and the second movable portion 54 such that the first movable portion 51 moves with respect to the first gripping portion 12 when the second movable portion 54 moves with respect to the second gripping portion 42.

[0078] According to this, with the handle 40 attached to the main body 10, the magnet 20 can be moved to the second position, and with the handle 40 removed from the main body 10, the magnet 20 can also be moved to the second position. Therefore, the magnetic body 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0079] Further, the magnetic body remover 100 in the embodiment of the present invention described above includes a yoke 30 that opens to one side in a predetermined direction (first direction) and has a magnet 20 disposed therein.

[0080] According to this, the magnetic force by the magnet 20 can be made to act toward the magnetic body 1, so that the magnetic body 1 is more easily attracted, and the magnetic body 1 can be removed more efficiently.

[0081] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereby. Specific configurations and the like can be appropriately changed in design. Also, the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the invention merely list the most suitable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are not limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0082] In the above-described embodiment, the case where the protrusion 16b is inclined so that the width gradually narrows as it goes toward one side in the first direction has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the protrusion may be convexly curved toward one side in the first direction so that the width gradually narrows as it goes toward one side in the first direction. Also, the width of the protrusion does not necessarily have to gradually narrow as it goes toward one side in the first direction.
