Description

真空吸尘器的灰尘收集装置
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于真空吸尘器(吸式清扫机)的旋风型灰尘分离/收集装置。
背景技术
在真空吸尘器领域中,所谓的“旋风”型分离装置沿用已久,用于将灰尘、污垢和其他物质(此处都称为“灰尘”)从被吸尘器由任何被清扫物体上吸入的吸入气流中分离出来。旋风吸尘器可以防止或减少过滤器被堵塞的问题,在采用旋风分离器之前,所述过滤器用于分离尘土。经常使用一次性或可重复使用的袋子作为真空吸尘器的主分离过滤器,其中,由气流通过所述袋子材料而分离出来的灰尘留在该袋子中,以待以后处理。
本发明更具体地涉及一种旋风分离/收集组件,该分离/收集组件利用第一旋风分离装置,以进行从吸尘器的吸入气流中分离灰尘的第一阶段,接着通过包括一个或多个其他的旋风分离器的另一旋风分离装置进行进一步分离过程。在已知的所述分离/收集组件中,所述第一旋风分离器的尺寸通常比所述其他的旋风分离器的尺寸大,因而,该第一旋风分离器从气流和吸尘器可能有意或无意地吸入的小物体中分离出较大、较重的灰尘颗粒,而每个所述其他的旋风分离器的尺寸较小,空气在其中高速流动,从而分离出较轻、较小的灰尘颗粒。有些吸尘器结合有多个彼此并行连接的另外的小尺寸旋风分离器,从而可以进行非常有效的灰尘分离,虽然即使在这些吸尘器中,通常在旋风分离/收集组件之后也配置有一个或多个过滤器。
由于吸尘器的吸入气流必须顺次通过第一旋风分离器和一个或多个另外的旋风分离器,因此必须将由各个旋风吸尘阶段分离出的灰尘聚积在单独的容器中或共同容器的单独部分中,直到将所述容器清空。通常采用的结构是将在不同的旋风吸尘阶段所分离的灰尘一起处理掉。这通常通过如下方式而实现:将单个灰尘容器从所述分离组件中拆下来,然后使所述容器倒转以清空所聚积的灰尘;或者打开所述分离组件灰尘容器部分的底部的门,使得所聚积的灰尘从所述容器中落下。无论采用那种方式,所述容器都具有不同的收集区域,由不同的旋风分离阶段所分离出的尘土聚积在所述不同的收集区域中。
这种“一步式”清空很方便,但不一定始终是需要的。真空吸尘器经常会吸入一些不能丢弃的小物品如玩具或玩具的一部分,或者首饰如耳环。因此,必须清空所聚积的灰尘,并从中寻找所需的物品。虽然可以预期该物品在所述第一旋风分离阶段就已经被分离出,但是会与包括由所述另外的分离阶段所分离的较细颗粒的所有被分离的灰尘一起被清空掉。这种小物品不易处理,很容易形成浮尘云。
发明内容
本发明广泛的目的在于解决已知旋风分离装置中的上述问题。
根据本发明的一个方面,提供了一种用于真空吸尘器的旋风分离组件,该组件包括:第一旋风分离装置,用于从吸尘器的吸入气流中进行第一阶段的灰尘分离;至少一个另外的旋风分离装置,用于从流经所述第一旋风分离装置之后的吸入气流中进行进一步的灰尘分离;和容器,用于盛放分离的灰尘,所述容器包括分别用于容纳由所述第一分离装置和所述另外的分离装置分离的灰尘的各个容纳部分,其中,可以相互独立地清空所述灰尘容器的所述各个部分。
根据本发明,对容纳来自所述第一旋风分离装置的灰尘的灰尘容器部分进行清空,可以从由所述第一分离装置所分离的大尺寸碎片中取出同样由所述第一分离装置分离的任何较大的物品,而无需对由所述另外的分离装置所分离的较细的灰尘和碎片进行处理。可以首先对容纳所述第一分离装置的灰尘的部分进行清空,并从中取回任何需要的物品,然后清空所述另外的分离装置分离的灰尘进行并进行处理。作为选择,在清空由所述第一分离装置分离的灰尘并根据需要进行处理之前,可以首先对由所述另外的分离装置分离的灰尘进行清空并进行处理。
所述容器可以包括第一门和第二门,所述第一门和第二门分别提供了进入容纳所述第一分离装置的灰尘的容器部分和容纳所述一个或多个另外的分离装置的灰尘的容器部分的通道。可以相互独立地打开所述门。
所述门可以设置为封闭位于所述容器底部的各个开口,当所述门打开,且所述容器同时保持为基本直立的位置时,所述门可以用于在重力作用下清空所述容器的各个部分的灰尘。
所述门可以枢轴安装在所述容器上,可以分别设置有第一锁挡装置和第二锁挡装置,以分别将所述第一门和第二门保持在关闭位置。
当需要打开所述门时,为了释放所述各个锁挡装置,可以设置有第一释放装置和第二释放装置。所述释放装置可以相互独立地操作,或者按顺序操作,从而所述第一门或第二门仅能在各自的其他门已打开的情况下才能打开。
当所述各个锁挡装置释放后,所述第一门和第二门可以相对所述容器枢轴转动地打开,可以在重力作用下打开,或者在弹簧的辅助或作用下打开。
在俯视图中,可以将所述容器的各个灰尘容纳部分中的一个容纳部分设置在另一容纳部分内,在这种情况下,一扇门可以基本为环形,以封闭外部的灰尘容纳部分,同时另一扇门封闭内部的灰尘容纳部分。
如下文所述,在分离组件的一种形式中,通常为圆柱形结构的容器具有外部环形灰尘容纳部分和内部圆柱形灰尘容纳部分。所述第一环形灰尘容纳部分可以容纳来自所述第一分离装置的灰尘,所述内部部分容纳来自所述另外的分离装置的灰尘。在下文所说明的实施方式中,所述第一门和第二门布置为在打开所述第一门以清空由所述第一分离装置所分离的较大颗粒的灰尘和任何更大的物品之前,先打开所述第二门,以清空由所述其他的分离装置分离的较细的灰尘。
根据本发明的另一方面,提供了一种真空吸尘器,该吸尘器包括根据本发明的第一方面的分离组件。
附图说明
下面将参考附图通过实施例来说明本发明,其中:
图1根据本发明的灰尘分离组件的容器部分的示意性透视图;
图2和图3是图1所示的容器部分的不同操作状态的图解剖面;
图4是另一种实施方式的如图1所示的透视图;
图5是另一种实施方式的另外的透视图。
具体实施方式
首先参见图1至图3,图1至图3图示说明根据本发明的分离组件的灰尘容器部分。该种分离组件包括:第一旋风分离装置,用于对由吸尘器从任何被清扫物体中吸取的吸入气流进行第一阶段灰尘分离;和至少一个另外的旋风分离装置,用于对已通过所述第一旋风分离装置的气流进行另外的灰尘分离。众所周知,在旋风分离装置中,由所述第一旋风分离装置和另外的旋风分离装置所分离的灰尘保留在所述灰尘容器组件的各个部分中。
所述灰尘容器组件的图示部分包括外壳壁10和内壁12,所述外壳壁10和内壁12通常为圆柱形,并在内壁12与所述外壳壁10之间限定有环形空间。一种公知的旋风分离阶段结构具有由壁10、12之间的空间形成的第一阶段旋风分离器,吸来的气流在该旋风分离器的上端相切地进入所述第一阶段旋风分离器内,从而将较粗的灰尘颗粒和较小的物品分离,并落到所述壁之间的空间的底部,而已部分清洁的吸入气流通过任何适当的出口结构(也在所述空间的上端)从所述壁10、12之间的空间流出。由所述壁12内的另外的旋风分离器或位于所述分离装置上端的一个或多个另外的旋风分离器提供另外的旋风分离阶段,所述另外的旋风分离器所分离的较细的灰尘落在所述壁12内,以聚积在所述容器的底部。无论采用何种具体的分离装置结构,最终结果为,所分离的较细的灰尘聚积在所述壁12内,较粗的灰尘和较小的物品聚积在所述壁10、12之间的空间中。
所述灰尘分离和收集组件可以用于“直立”型或“圆筒”(或“罐”)型真空吸尘器。在公知的方式中,当需要清空所收集的灰尘时,可以将包括图示容器的整个分离/收集组件从所述真空吸尘器上取下,或者当需要清空灰尘时,可以仅取下分离/收集组件包括所述容器的部分。
两扇门封闭图示容器的下端,所述两扇门分别提供进入容纳来自所述第一旋风分离装置的灰尘和容纳来自所述另外的旋风分离装置阶段的灰尘的容器部分的通道。这些门包括第一门14和第二门16,第一门14封闭外壳10和内壁12之间的环形空间,第二门16封闭内壁12内的空间。两扇门14、16都在凸缘18处与所述容器枢轴连接,所述凸缘18设置在外壳壁10底部的容器一侧。
门14为环形结构,以封闭壁10、12之间的环形空间,在与凸缘18枢轴连接处的对面,门14具有终止于锁挡结构22的向上延伸部20。所述锁挡结构22可以通过锁挡元件24配合,以使门保持关闭,所述锁挡元件24与容器的外壳壁10枢轴连接。通过如箭头26所示的方向按压锁挡元件24,锁挡元件24可以枢轴旋转,从而释放门14,以将它打开。
门16包括部件28,所述部件28在容器外壳10底部沿径向延伸,所述部件28设置有通常为截头圆锥体的封闭部分30,所述封闭部分30可以部分进入内圆柱壁12的底部,以阻隔其开口。当所述门14、16都关闭时,门16的封闭部分30延伸通过环形门14的中心孔14。所述部件28的一端具有相间隔的直立部分32,所述门通过该直立部分32与凸缘18枢轴连接,组件28的另一端具有直立部分34,所述直立部分34带有各个锁挡结构36,所述直立部分34与容器沿圆周间隔,锁挡结构36可以与外壳壁10上的互补锁挡结构配合。在直立部分34之间具有防护部分38,当所述门14、16都位于关闭位置时(如图1和图2所示),防护部分38防止对保持所述门14关闭的锁挡元件24进行操作。
所有图示的组件都是优选由塑料和所使用的其他材料或适当结合的其他材料所制成的模制品。例如,可以设置弹簧,以偏压锁挡元件24,使其枢轴旋转至该锁挡元件24与所述门14的锁挡结构22配合以保持该门关闭的位置。沿与该弹簧的力相反的方向枢轴旋转所述锁挡元件24,以打开所述门14。可以设置一个或多个弹簧以将所述门14、16偏压至打开位置,这样,一松开所述门14、16的各个锁挡装置,便可将门打开。
通过使直立部分34变形至其材料允许的程度,来移动门16的直立部分34,以使锁挡结构36与外壳壁10上的互补锁挡结构解除配合,释放保持门16关闭的所述锁挡装置。为了使手持所述分离组件(或其容器)的使用者可以在远离所述门的上部进行释放操作,提供有释放元件40。该释放元件40在分离装置/容器的外部向上延伸,在释放元件40的最底端分叉为部分42,各个部分42分别具有锥形表面,以与各个直立部分34配合,如44处所示。在释放元件40的最上端,所述释放元件40具有部件,使用者可按压该部件,以向下移动所述元件40,并通过表面44与直立部分34配合,使直立部分34的锁挡结构36解除配合,以打开所述门16。
因而,当要清空容器的各个部分中所收集的较粗和较细的灰尘和其他物品时,使用者通过操作所述释放元件40,便可以首先打开门16,并从所述壁12内的空间种释放出较细的灰尘。在清除较细的灰尘之后,由于此时锁挡元件24不再被防护部分38覆盖,因此可以操作锁挡元件24,释放锁挡元件24以打开所述门14,并从外壳壁10与内壁12之间的空间中释放出较粗的灰尘和更大的物品。
现在参见图4,图4概略地图示说明了用于控制如图1所示的门14、16的释放操作的可选择的结构。代替各个锁挡元件和锁挡结构和释放元件40,保持元件50将所述门14、16的远端部分保持封闭,所述远端部分远离门14、16与所述分离组件的容器部分的外壳10枢轴连接的部分,所述保持元件50安装在所述外壳壁10上,并可以从起始点沿如箭头52所示的相反的两个方向角度移动。当以顺时针方向有角度地移动时,保持元件50释放所述门16,当以逆时针方向有角度地移动时,保持元件50释放所述门14。该机构使得所述保持元件50只能首先朝第一方向移动,然后朝第二方向移动,从而只能先打开门16,然后再打开门14,从而如上文所述,先清空较细的灰尘,然后再清空较粗的碎片。
图5表示锁挡元件的可选择的结构。图中表示有释放元件60,释放元件60的最下端可以与锁挡元件62配合,以将锁挡元件62释放,使所述门16打开。使用者通过在分离组件的最上端附近的位置向下按压释放元件60,操作释放元件60。随后,可以将保持所述门14关闭的锁挡元件64释放。
当用于本说明书和权利要求书中时,术语“包括”、“包含”及其变形的含义是包括特定的特征、步骤或整体。不能将该术语解释为排除其他特征、步骤或组件的存在。
在上述说明书或权利要求书或者附图中,以特定形式,或者按照为了实现所公开的功能的方法所公开的特征,或者为了获得所公开的结果所采取的方法或过程,可以适当地独立或以所述特征的任意组合的方式加以采用,从而以各种形式实现本发明。
