Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a work machine such as a blower. [Background technology]

[0002] One example of a work machine is an electric blower (air blower) that has a centrifugal fan that rotates by the driving force of a motor, a case (housing portion) that houses the motor and the centrifugal fan, and a nozzle portion that sends out air using the air flow generated by the rotation of the centrifugal fan.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an electric blower structure as described above, which is formed by assembling a pair of halves of a case together and includes a case capable of housing a centrifugal fan. One of the halves of the case is provided with a suction port to which an attachment such as a dust collection hose can be attached. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-332889 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the suction port is provided in one of the pair of halves of the case, but if the overall layout of the product is different due to the use of a different type of fan (for example, an axial fan that blows air in the direction of the fan's rotation axis), the suction port may be positioned so that it straddles both halves of the case. If an attachment such as a nozzle is to be detachably attached to an intake port that straddles both halves of the case, it is necessary to provide an attachment holding portion on each of the divided cases.

[0006] In this case, the tolerances for the positions and distances between the multiple attachment holders provided on each of the separate cases tend to be large. This makes it easier for attachments to fall off the attachment holders during operation, or conversely, makes it difficult to remove attachments from the attachment holders, which reduces the operability of the electric blower. Therefore, improvements in the operability of electric blowers have been desired.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a work machine with improved workability. [Means for solving the problem]

Another work machine of the present invention has a motor, a fan unit that rotates by the driving force of the motor, a housing unit that houses the motor and the fan unit, and an attachment unit that is attached to the housing unit, wherein the housing unit has an air vent through which the air flow generated by the fan unit can pass, and includes a filter holder that blocks the air vent and supports a filter through which the air flow can pass, and the attachment unit is detachably attached to the filter holder. Another work machine of the present invention has a motor, an operating unit that operates by the driving force of the motor, a housing unit that houses the motor and the operating unit, and an attachment unit that is attached to the housing unit, wherein the housing unit includes a first housing member and a second housing member that are combined in a first direction, and a third housing member that is arranged to straddle the first housing member and the second housing member, and the third housing member has a first engagement portion that engages with the attachment unit, and the first engagement portion includes a claw portion that protrudes in the first direction, and the third housing member and the attachment unit are engaged by the claw portion. Another work machine of the present invention has a motor, an operating unit that operates by the driving force of the motor, a housing unit that houses the motor and the operating unit, and an attachment unit that is attached to the housing unit, wherein the housing unit includes a first housing member and a second housing member that are combined in a first direction, and a third housing member that is arranged to straddle the first housing member and the second housing member, and the third housing member has a first engagement portion that engages with the attachment unit, and the first engagement portion is provided in plurality and spaced apart in the first direction.

[0011] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0012] In this embodiment, a blower 1 will be described as an example of a work machine. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, blower 1 is a work machine that takes in air from the rear side and discharges it from a nozzle provided on the front side to blow the air onto a work location or the like, and is also called an air duster or the like. The configuration of blower 1 will be described as follows: motor 10; a fan unit (operating unit) 10a that rotates by the driving force of motor 10 and generates airflow F1 in an axial direction C1 along the rotation axis of motor 10; a housing unit 2 that accommodates motor 10 and fan unit 10a and has an exhaust unit 12 on the front (one) side of the axial direction C1; and a cylindrical nozzle 6 that is detachably attached to exhaust unit 12. The housing 2 includes a motor case 3 that houses the motor 10 and the fan unit 10a and has an exhaust unit 12, a handle unit 4 that extends from the motor case 3 in a direction (vertical direction) intersecting the axial direction C1, and a battery attachment unit 5 that is connected to the handle unit 4 and located on the opposite side of the handle unit 4 from the motor case 3. In other words, the motor case 3 and the battery attachment unit 5 extend along the axial direction C1 so as to be approximately parallel to each other at both ends of the handle unit 4. That is, one end of the handle unit 4 is connected to the motor case 3, and the other end of the handle unit 4 is connected to the battery attachment unit 5. The housing 2 has two housing halves (a first housing member 2a and a second housing member 2b shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later) molded from a synthetic resin such as nylon or polycarbonate. The housing 2 is assembled by butting together the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b, which are the two housing halves.

[0013] In the blower 1 of this embodiment, the direction along the rotation shaft of the motor 10 is referred to as the axial direction C1 and is also referred to as the front-rear direction, and the direction that intersects with the front-rear direction and in which the handle portion 4 extends (extension direction E1) is referred to as the up-down direction. Also, the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction is referred to as the left-right direction.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, a motor 10 and a fan unit 10a are housed within a motor case 3. The motor 10 includes a stator 10b, which is a coil, and a rotor 10c, which is a magnet. The fan unit 10a is a centrifugal fan attached to the rotating shaft of the rotor 10c. The fan unit 10a takes in air through an air intake unit 11 at the rear of the motor case 3 and sends it toward a nozzle 6 attached to the front of the motor case 3. Specifically, within the motor case 3, the motor 10, including the fan unit 10a, is housed within a cylindrical container. The rotation of the fan unit 10a draws in air through a metal filter 16a attached to the air intake unit 11 and sends the air along the inner wall 10d of the cylindrical container toward the nozzle 6. The rotation of the fan unit 10a generates an airflow F1 that flows along the axial direction C1. The air delivered by the airflow F1 is discharged from the tip of the nozzle 6.

[0015] In addition, a motor board 10e is attached to the motor 10, and is equipped with an inverter circuit for the motor 10 and a sensor for detecting the rotational position of the rotor 10c. This motor board 10e is also housed within the motor case 3.

[0016] The handle 4 also has a trigger 9 and a trigger switch 13, which are switches provided on the motor case 3 side so as to protrude forward (one side) in the axial direction C1. A control board 8 equipped with a microcomputer is provided inside the handle 4. A battery pack 7 that supplies power to the motor 10 is detachably attached to the battery attachment section 5. When the trigger 9 is operated, the fan 10a, which is driven by the driving force of the motor 10, rotates, and the rotation of the fan 10a generates an airflow F1 in the axial direction C1. As a result, air taken in from the rear intake section 11 is sent forward by the airflow F1 and discharged from the tip of the nozzle 6.

[0017] 3, a protruding portion 3a that protrudes forward from the motor case 3 is provided directly below the exhaust portion 12 of the motor case 3, and an LED 17 is provided on the protruding portion 3a to brightly illuminate the area where air is blown. By providing the LED 17 on the protruding portion 3a that protrudes forward from the motor case 3 in this way, the work area can be brightened.

[0018] The nozzle 6 is formed in a cylindrical shape, with the diameter of the other end portion being larger than that of the other end portion. Specifically, the base end portion 6b attached to the exhaust section 12 of the motor case 3 is provided with an intake port 6d as the nozzle 6, and the tip end portion 6a located opposite the base end portion 6b is provided with an exhaust port 6e as the nozzle 6. The base end portion 6b of the nozzle 6 is thicker than the tip end portion 6a, and the nozzle 6 has a tapered shape that narrows toward the tip end.

[0019] Next, another use of the blower 1 of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a suction nozzle 18 can be attached to the rear side (rear side) of the motor case 3 via an attachment portion 15. This allows the blower 1 to be used for suctioning air, for example, when removing air from a life jacket, a rubber boat, or the like. In the blower 1 shown in FIG. 4, the housing portion 2 including the motor case 3 includes a first housing member 2a and a second housing member 2b that are assembled in the left-right direction (first direction), and a third housing member disposed between the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b (in other words, disposed across the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b). The blower 1 further includes an attachment portion 15 that is attached to the housing portion 2. Specifically, the third housing member is a filter holder 16b that holds a metal filter 16a, and the filter holder 16b is sandwiched and assembled between the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b. Attachment part 15 is detachably mounted on filter holder 16b. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, a nozzle 18 is attached to pipe part 15d of attachment part 15.

[0020] 9 to 11, the motor 10 is disposed in a space surrounded by the first housing member 2a, the second housing member 2b, and the filter holder (third housing member) 16b. The trigger 9, the trigger switch 13, the control board 8, the terminal unit 14, etc. are also disposed in the space surrounded by the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b.

[0021] When the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b are assembled with screws, the protrusion 16d of the filter holder 16b is sandwiched between a groove 2d formed in the inner circumferential wall on the rear side of the first housing member 2a and a groove 2e formed in the inner circumferential wall on the rear side of the second housing member 2b. This secures the filter holder 16b to the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b. The motor case 3, which is made up of a portion of each of the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b, has an opening 2c formed at its rear end. The mesh-like metal filter 16a and the resin filter holder 16b that supports the metal filter 16a are provided in the opening 2c. The filter holder 16b has an air vent 16g through which the airflow generated by the fan unit 10a passes, providing a passage for air drawn in via the nozzle 18. A mesh-like metal filter 16a is provided to close the ventilation hole 16g, but the metal filter 16a has many fine holes formed therein, allowing air to pass through.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the attachment part 15 is bowl-shaped and is attached to the filter holder 16b from above the filter element (filter part) 16 including the filter holder 16b.

[0023] Next, a description will be given of the engagement structure between attachment part 15 and filter holder 16b. In this embodiment, a snap fit is adopted as the engagement structure between attachment part 15 and filter holder 16b.

[0024] First, the structure of the filter element (filter portion) 16 including the filter holder 16b will be described. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the filter element 16 includes a mesh-like metal filter (filter) 16a that allows air to pass through and a resin filter holder (third housing member) 16b that supports the metal filter 16a. The filter holder 16b is a resin member in which the metal filter 16a is embedded by insert molding. The filter holder 16b is provided with a first engagement portion that engages with the attachment portion 15, and the first engagement portion is a component of the snap fit on the filter holder 16b side. The component of the snap fit (first engagement portion) on the filter holder 16b side is a pair of holes 16c that are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The outer periphery of the filter holder 16b is provided with four convex portions 16d at the top, bottom, left, and right. The convex portions 16d are sandwiched and fixed between the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b.

[0025] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, the attachment unit 15 includes a bowl-shaped attachment main body 15a, a cylindrical pipe portion 15d provided on the attachment main body 15a, and claw portions 15b provided in notches 15c on both sides of the attachment main body 15a. The interior of the pipe portion 15d serves as a passage through which the airflow generated by the fan unit 10a flows from the nozzle 18 to the ventilation opening 16g. The attachment unit 15 also has a first engagement portion as a snap fit that engages with the filter holder 16b. In this embodiment, the snap fit components (first engagement portions) on the attachment unit 15 side are claw portions 15b provided one on each side spaced apart in the left-right direction. These claw portions 15b each protrude in the left-right direction. 20 to 22, filter holder 16b and attachment unit 15 are engaged by fitting two left and right claws 15b of attachment unit 15 into two left and right holes 16c of filter holder 16b, respectively. Because claws 15b protrude in the left-right direction, there is no need to increase the installation accuracy or size accuracy of two holes 16c provided in filter holder 16b in the left-right direction. In other words, by employing snap-fit ​​engagement between claws 15b and holes 16c, attachment unit 15 can be attached to and detached from filter holder 16b by moving it in the front-to-rear direction that intersects the left-to-right direction, rather than in a rotational direction, relative to housing unit 2.

[0026] Here, the two holes (first engagement portions) 16c, which are components of the snap fit, are provided in filter holder 16b, which is a single member. In other words, filter holder 16b is a single member that is not separated in the left-right direction. Therefore, in blower 1 of the present embodiment, when attachment portion 15 is attached to filter holder 16b, snap-fit ​​claw portions 15b are fitted into holes 16c of filter holder 16b, which is a single member. This makes it easy to control the dimensional accuracy of the positions and distances of two left and right holes 16c provided in filter holder 16b. As a result, the workability of blower 1 can be improved. In other words, by providing the engagement structure of attachment portion 15 to filter holder 16b, which is a single member, filter holder 16b is an indivisible member, and therefore it is easy to control the dimensional accuracy of the positions and distances of two holes 16c provided spaced apart on the left and right.

[0027] In addition, the blower 1 of the present embodiment is compatible with miniaturization. However, the ventilation port 16g is preferably enlarged to ensure the air volume. Therefore, the shape of the motor case 3 is a vertically long substantially rectangular (non-circular) shape in order to reduce the size in the left-right direction while increasing the air passage. As a result, the filter holder 16b sandwiched and assembled by the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b is also a vertically long substantially rectangular (non-circular) shape. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 15(a), the shape of the joint portion 16f of the filter holder 16b to the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b is a substantially rectangular (non-circular) shape where the length L1 in the left-right direction is shorter than the length L2 in the up-down direction (the third direction) intersecting the left-right direction (L1 < L2). Also, the entire arrangement area of the plurality of partitioned ventilation ports 16g is a substantially rectangular (non-circular) shape where the length L3 in the left-right direction is shorter than the length L4 in the up-down direction (the third direction) intersecting the left-right direction (L3 < L4). For this reason, while reducing the dimension in the left-right direction of the housing portion 2, the opening area of the ventilation port 16g can be ensured and the air volume can be ensured. Since the shape of the filter holder 16b is substantially rectangular, it is difficult to adopt an engagement structure for rotating and attaching the attachment portion 15. Therefore, by adopting a snap fit for the engagement structure of the attachment portion 15, it is possible to move the attachment portion 15 in the front-rear direction for attachment instead of rotating it, and it is possible to easily manage the dimensional accuracy of the positions and distances between the plurality of first engagement portions provided on the filter holder 16b.

[0028] Also, as shown in Fig. 12, the filter holder 16b of the filter element 16 has a non-flat shape at the end face 16e in the front-rear direction (the second direction) intersecting the left-right direction. Specifically, by making the filter holder 16b a vertically long substantially rectangular (non-circular) shape, the shape of the end face 16e of the filter holder 16b can be made a cubic surface, and the degree of freedom in the design of the blower 1 can be increased. Furthermore, since the filter can be curved, the area of the filter can be increased to enhance the filter function.

[0029] 14 and 15, in filter holder 16b, two left and right holes (first engagement portions) 16c, which are components of the snap fit, are provided within the area in which metal filter 16a is disposed. That is, by providing two left and right holes 16c in filter holder 16b, which is made of a single member, even if the area of ​​the filter is reduced, and by making filter holder 16b approximately rectangular (non-circular), it is possible to reduce the tolerance in the relative positions of two left and right holes 16c, and it is possible to ensure the accuracy of mounting attachment portion 15 to filter holder 16b.

[0030] Furthermore, since the filter is a metal filter 16a and the metal filter 16a is insert-molded into the filter holder 16b, the number of parts required for assembling the blower 1 can be reduced. Furthermore, since the filter holder 16b is fixed to the housing portion 2 without any gaps, the filter is tightly sealed, improving its filtering function. Furthermore, since the metal filter 16a is insert-molded into the filter holder 16b, the filter surface can be easily cleaned. Note that, since the attachment portion 15 engages with the filter holder 16b while the metal filter 16a remains supported by the filter holder 16b, compared to a comparative example in which the metal filter 16a must be removed when attaching the attachment portion 15, this reduces the number of steps required for attaching and detaching the attachment portion 15 and also improves the strength of the filter holder 16b. Furthermore, by engaging the attachment part 15 with the filter holder 16b so as to cover the ventilation opening 16g, the air flowing inside the attachment part 15 passes through the metal filter 16a and the ventilation opening 16g, and therefore the metal filter 16a can capture dust particles contained in the air that has passed through the attachment part 15.

[0031] Next, a modified blower 1 shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, the modified blower 1 has a structure including a resin battery holding portion 19 as the third housing member. This battery holding portion 19 is provided with guide rails (first engagement portions) 19a on both sides to guide the battery pack 7 when it is attached or detached, and is fixed by being sandwiched between the first housing member 2a and the second housing member 2b. By regarding the battery pack 7 as an example of an attachment, this structure also allows the battery holding portion 19, which is a single member, to be provided with multiple first engagement portions, and it is easy to control the dimensional accuracy of the positions and distances of the multiple first engagement portions provided on the battery holding portion 19. As a result, the workability of the modified blower 1 can also be improved.

[0032] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the attachment portion 15 and the nozzle 18 may be an integrated member. Furthermore, the third housing member may be disposed so as to straddle the first and second housing members and at least partially cover the outer surfaces of both the first and second housing members.
