Electric vacuum cleaner

Abstract

An electric vacuum cleaner with power consumption reduced in confirming whether or not a regular secondary battery is attached to a body. The electric vacuum cleaner 1 comprising: a body 2 on which a secondary battery 4 is detachably mountable; an electric blower 8 housed in the body 2, the electric blower 8 being driven by power supplied from the secondary battery 4 and generating negative pressure; a connection determinator 45 that only at a time of the secondary battery 4 being attached to the body 2, transmits a confirmation signal to the secondary battery 4 and verifies if a reception signal received from the secondary battery 4 and verification information match with each other; and a control member 46 that, if the connection determinator 45 confirms a match between the reception signal and the verification information, permits driving of the electric blower 8, and if the connection determinator 45 confirms otherwise, prohibits driving of the electric blower 8.

1 . An electric vacuum cleaner comprising:
 a body on which a secondary battery is detachably mountable;   an electric blower housed in the body, the electric blower being driven by power supplied from the secondary battery and generating negative pressure;   a connection determinator that only at a time of the secondary battery being attached to the body, transmits a confirmation signal to the secondary battery and verifies if a reception signal received from the secondary battery and verification information match with each other; and   a control member that, if the connection determinator confirms a match between the reception signal and the verification information, permits driving of the electric blower, and if the connection determinator confirms otherwise, prohibits driving of the electric blower.   
     
     
         2 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection determinator stores the confirmation signal and the verification information that are different from each other. 
     
     
         3 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , comprising a notification member that provides notification of a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator. 
     
     
         4 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 1 , comprising a storage member that stores a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator. 
     
     
         5 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 2 , comprising a notification member that provides notification of a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator. 
     
     
         6 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 2 , comprising a storage member that stores a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator. 
     
     
         7 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 3 , comprising a storage member that stores a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator. 
     
     
         8 . The electric vacuum cleaner according to  claim 5 , comprising a storage member that stores a mismatch between the reception signal and the verification information, based on a result of the confirmation by the connection determinator.
