The specific embodiment

Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings to being described in detail according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are the stereograms of structure of the dust-separating apparatus of schematically illustrated vacuum cleaner according to first embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 3 is the exploded perspective view of the dust-separating apparatus among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.

Referring to Fig. 1 to 3, comprise according to the dust-separating apparatus 1 of the vacuum cleaner of present embodiment: the dust separation unit 10 that dust is separated from the air that sucks; Dust receptacle 20 is used for storing the dust of being separated by dust separation unit 10; The suction guide apparatus 30 that the air that guiding comprises dust flows towards dust separation unit 10; And the allocation units 40 that are used for the air of suction guide apparatus 30 is dispensed to dust separation unit 10.

At length, the air that sucks through the suction nozzle (not shown) flows to suction guide apparatus 30.Suction guide apparatus 30 is arranged on vacuum cleaner inside, and is arranged in dust receptacle 20 belows.Allocation units 40 are connected to suction guide apparatus 30.

Dust separation unit 10 is separated dust from the air of supplying with from allocation units 40.Dust separation unit 10 utilizes cyclonic principle that dust is separated from air, and comprises the cyclone separator 110 for this purpose.

Be formed with a pair of entrance 120 (one of every side) at cyclone separator 110, with air intake in dust separation unit 10.This can form in tangential direction with respect to cyclone separator 110 entrance 120, so that at cyclone separator 110 interior generation cyclonic air flows.This provides the suction path that enters cyclone separator 110 for air to entrance 120.

This is connected to every side of allocation units 40 to entrance 120.Therefore, the air that flows by suction guide apparatus 30 flows to both sides in allocation units 40 punishment, and the air of shunting rises to be inhaled in the cyclone separator 110 along corresponding entrance 120.

Centre at cyclone separator 110 is formed with the dust export 130 of discharging at cyclone separator 110 interior isolated dusts.

Therefore, separate and move to the central authorities of cyclone separator 110 from air by cyclonic air flow from the dust of the air that sucks via each entrance 120 that is arranged on cyclone separator 110 every sides.Then, flow to the dust of cyclone separator central authorities through dust export 130, and be discharged to dust receptacle 20.

Herein, dust export 130 tangentially forms with respect to cyclone separator 110, to allow easily to discharge dust.Therefore, the dust of separating in the cyclone separator 110 is tangentially discharged with respect to cyclone separator 110, that is to say, discharge in the direction identical with the direction of dust rotation, thereby not only allow easily from cyclone separator 110, to discharge the higher dust of concentration, and allow easily to discharge the lower dust of concentration.

Because can easily discharge the lower dust of concentration, thus the lower dust of concentration will less accumulate on the filter member (following can describe), thereby help flowing and improving the dust separation performance of air.

In addition, ground of a pair of air outlet slit 140 every sides is formed on every side of cyclone separator 110, with discharge separation in the cyclone separator 110 the air of dust.The air of discharging through air outlet slit 140 converges converging path 142 places, and enters the main body of vacuum cleaner.

Dust receptacle 20 is stored in the dust of separating in the dust separation unit 10.Because dust receptacle 20 is installed on the vacuum cleaner main body, so dust receptacle 20 is communicated with dust separation unit 10.

Particularly, when dust receptacle 20 was installed on the vacuum cleaner main body, dust receptacle 20 was arranged on the below of dust separation unit 10.Therefore, dust entrance 21 is formed on the upper surface of dust receptacle 20.In addition, dust export 130 is from cyclone separator 110 to downward-extension.

Therefore, the dust of separating in the cyclone separator 110 moves downward along dust export 130, and the dust of separating can easily enter dust receptacle 20.

Be coupled at place, the bottom of dust receptacle 20 and cover member 22, be stored in the interior dust of dust receptacle 20 with discharge.Lid member 22 can pivotally be coupled to dust receptacle 20, and can be coupled to removably dust receptacle 20.In the present embodiment, the method that is coupled of lid member 22 is not limited to any concrete grammar.

Therefore, dust receptacle 20 is set to dust separation unit 10 as independent parts, and is constructed to be permeable to optionally be communicated with dust separation unit 10.Therefore, user's dust-separating container 20 and will be stored in dust turned letter in the dust receptacle 20 only.

Because in dust receptacle 20, be not provided for the structure of dust-separating, thus the structure of dust receptacle 20 simplified, and can make the minimize weight of dust receptacle 20.

By making the minimize weight of dust receptacle 20, the user can easily carry and process dust receptacle 20, and because the internal structure of dust receptacle 20 is simple, thus can easily it be emptied to the outside, and also the user can easily clear up the inside of dust receptacle 20.

Below, with the more specifically description that provides dust-separating apparatus.

Fig. 4 is the cutaway view that Fig. 1 gets along the A-A line, and Fig. 5 is the cutaway view that Fig. 1 gets along the B-B line.

Referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, cyclone separator 110 comprises body 111 and a counter-lateral quadrents 115, and body 111 is for generation of cyclonic air flow, and this counter-lateral quadrents 115 consists of in 111 two sidepieces of body separately.Sidepiece 115 faces with each other abreast.

Entrance 120 is respectively formed on the both sides of body 111.Each entrance 120 all tangentially forms with respect to cyclone separator 110.Therefore, in two cyclonic air flows of cyclone separator 110 interior formation one of the air that sucks through each entrance 120.Cyclonic air flow is along the inner surface circulation of body 111.

Therefore, when producing a pair of cyclonic air flow in single space, the amount of flow of air increases, and windage loss reduces, and can improve separating property.

In addition, when producing a pair of cyclonic air flow in single space, compare with produce single cyclonic air flow in single space, whirlwind can form littlely.

Herein, even cyclone separator 110 formation is less, the centrifugal force that produces at entrance 120 places is also large than of the prior art, has therefore improved the dust separation performance.

In addition, when in single space, producing a pair of cyclonic air flow, can realize and the dust separation performance of air through the same level of dust separation performance in the structure of a plurality of dust separation unit.Therefore, need not extra dust separation unit is used for dust is separated from the air of discharging from dust separation unit.Yet, also extra dust separation unit can be set in the present embodiment.

And, when one of every side in cyclone separator 110 ground produces a pair of cyclonic air flow and cyclonic air flow towards central flows, strengthen at the cyclonic air flow of centre.Therefore, the cyclonic air flow that produces in the centre of cyclone separator 110 is better than the cyclonic air flow that produces two entrance 120 sides.

Therefore, when this to cyclonic air flow when the centre of cyclone separator 110 is converged, compare with the situation that in single space, produces single cyclonic air flow, the intensity of air-flow is larger, thereby has improved the dust separation performance.

The dust that moves to cyclone separator 110 central authorities can be discharged to dust receptacle 20 through dust export 130 by strong cyclonic air flow, therefore can improve the dust emissions performance.

Hair and other impurity are because static can be easy to be attached to import or the inboard of dust export 130.But, because in the present embodiment, produce very strong cyclonic air flow at dust export 130 places, so hair and other impurity can not be attached to dust export 130, and can easily be discharged to dust receptacle 20.

Outlet 116 forms and runs through each sidepiece 115, to discharge the air that dust separation fallen in cyclone separator 110.

In addition, each outlet 116 has been coupled filter member 150, to filter the air of discharging.At length, filter member 150 is constructed with the cylindric securing member 152 that is anchored on cyclone separator 110 inboards and the coniform filter 154 that extends in order to filtered air from securing member 152.In addition, being formed with a plurality of eyelets 156 in filter 154 passes for air.

Therefore, the air that separates dust in cyclone separator 110 passes described a plurality of eyelet 156, then through exporting 116 from cyclone separator 110 discharges.

, be not formed with through hole in the securing member 152 herein, the air that therefore sucks through import 120 can not be discharged from immediately, but can reposefully circulation in cyclone separator 110.

That is to say that by securing member 152, the circulation of the air of bootable suction is with at cyclone separator 110 interior generations cyclonic air flow stably, thereby improves the dust separation performance.

Be arranged on length (L1) between a pair of filter member 150 in the cyclone separator and can be made into width (L2) greater than dust export 130.

At length, the cyclonic air flow that produces in cyclone separator 110 converges in the central authorities of cyclone separator 110 as mentioned above, and discharges through dust export 130 by the dust that cyclonic air flow is separated from air.

At this, when this makes width (L2) less than dust export 130 to the length between the filter member 150 (L1), just can not discharge from dust export 130 such as the impurity of hair and thin paper, but can be attached to filter member 150 or accumulate in eyelet 156 inboards.In this case, air is not easy to pass filter member 150, thereby causes suction to reduce.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, this makes width (L2) greater than dust export 130 to the length between the filter member 150 (L1), so that can discharge fully through dust export 130 such as the impurity of hair and thin paper.

As above describe in the present embodiment, air is drawn in the cyclone separator 110 through a plurality of entrances 120, separated the air of dust and then discharge from cyclone separator 110 through a plurality of outlets 116 in cyclone separator 110.

Therefore, discharge through each outlet 116 through the air that each entrance 120 is drawn in the cyclone separator 110, be easy to discharge to allow air.

When therefore air was easy to from cyclone separator 110 discharge, in fact suction increased, and cyclonic air flow forms in cyclone separator 110 reposefully.

In addition, though when dust accumulation on such filter member so that air can not easily flow the time, air can be discharged via other filter member, prevent thus the unexpected loss of air suction.

Body 111 at cyclone separator 110 is formed with opening 112, to allow the replacing of filter member 150.Opening 112 opens and closes by covering member 160.Be provided with containment member 114 in opening 112 and the location that is coupled of covering member 160.

Herein, the inner surface of lid member 160 can form when covering member 160 and be coupled to body 111 the identical curvature that has in interior week with body 111.That is to say the continuous surface of interior week formation of the interior week of lid member 160 and body 111.Therefore, can prevent in the cyclone separator 110 because the variation of the cyclonic air flow that lid member 160 causes, and can keep equably cyclonic air flow.

In addition, because lid member 160 is coupled to cyclone separator 110 removably, so can pulling down, the user covers member 160, with inboard and the filter member 150 of easily changing filter member 150 and easily clearing up cyclone separator 110.

In dust receptacle 20, be limited with for the dust chamber 23 that stores dust, and in the top of dust receptacle 20, be limited with dust entrance 21.In addition, be provided with for the containment member 24 that seals the contact area between dust entrance 21 and the dust export 130 at dust entrance 21.Herein, containment member 24 also can be arranged on the dust export 130.

Below, will the operation of dust-separating apparatus be described.

Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are the cutaway views that illustrates according to the air-flow in the dust-separating apparatus of the first embodiment, and wherein, Fig. 6 is the cutaway view that air-flow is shown that Fig. 1 gets along the A-A line, and Fig. 7 is the cutaway view that air-flow is shown that Fig. 1 gets along the B-B line.

Referring to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, when vacuum cleaner produced suction, the air that comprises dust flowed along suction guide apparatus 30.The air stream that flows by suction guide apparatus 30 is to allocation units 40, and is assigned to each entrance 120 by allocation units 40.Then, the air that comprises dust passes each entrance 120 and tangentially is inhaled in the both sides of cyclone separator 110.

The air that sucks rotates to converge in the centre of cyclone separator 110 along the inner surface of cyclone separator 110, and in this process, air is subject to different centrifugal force with dust because of the different of their weight, so separate between them.

The dust of separating (with dashed lines representative) is discharged through dust export 130 from the central authorities of cyclone separator 110, and the dust of discharging flows through dust export 130 and flow in the dust receptacle 20.

In contrast, filter by filter member 150 with dust separating air (representing with solid line), then pass outlet 116 and discharge from cyclone separator 110.The air of discharging flows through corresponding air outlet slit 140, converges converging path 142 places, and enters the main body of vacuum cleaner.

Fig. 8 is the stereogram according to the dust-separating apparatus of second embodiment of the invention.

Except the structure of the air flue that is positioned at dust separation unit, present embodiment is all identical in all other sides with the first embodiment.Therefore, with the description that only provides the characteristic of present embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 8, comprise dust separation unit 210 and dust receptacle 270 according to the dust-separating apparatus of present embodiment, dust receptacle 270 is arranged on the outside of dust separation unit 210 to be stored in isolated dust in the dust separation unit 210.

Dust separation unit 210 comprises the cyclone separator 220 for generation of cyclonic air flow.The diameter of the centre of cyclone separator 220 forms the diameter greater than every side of cyclone separator 220.Centre at cyclone separator 220 is formed with dust export 250, will isolated dust emissions arriving dust receptacle 270 in cyclone separator 220.

Fig. 9 is the cutaway view that Fig. 8 gets along the C-C line, and Figure 10 is the cutaway view that Fig. 8 gets along the D-D line, and Figure 11 is the cutaway view that Fig. 8 gets along the E-E line.

Referring to Fig. 9 to Figure 11, ground of a pair of air intake 221 every sides is formed on every side of cyclone separator 220.Therefore, when air when each air intake 221 sucks, at the corresponding a pair of cyclonic air flow of cyclone separator 220 interior generations.This that results from cyclone separator 220 both sides converges in central authorities cyclonic air flow, and isolated dust also converges and is disposed to dust receptacle 270 through dust export 250 in central authorities.

Therefore, the inner space of cyclone separator 220 can be divided into: be positioned at the dust separation zone 222 of both sides, dust is separated by cyclonic air flow in dust separation zone 222; And being formed on dust export zone 224 between the dust separation zone 222, dust converges and discharges in dust export zone 224.That is to say that dust separation zone 222 is formed on every side in dust export zone 224.In addition, the value of the vertical section area in dust export zone 224 is greater than the value of the vertical section area in dust separation zone 222.

The inside of dust export 250 comprises path guiding device 260, and this path guiding device 260 guides the air that flow to dust receptacle 270 to enter cyclone separator 220 in the dust emissions process.

That is to say that path guiding device 260 is separated the inner space of dust export 250, thereby in dust export 250, form dust export path 252 and air return path 254.

At length, path guiding device 260 comprises: vertical the first guide portion 262 that forms; Second guide portion 264 of extending towards dust export zone 224 from the top of the first guide portion 262 with predetermined curvature; And the 3rd guide portion 266 of extending from the bottom water level land of the first guide portion 262.

In more detail, the first guide portion 262 is used for the inner space of dust export 250 is divided into two paths, i.e. dust export path 252 and air return path 254.

The second guide portion 264 forms has the curvature corresponding with the curvature in dust export zone 224.Therefore, the second guide portion 264 is used for keeping the cyclonic air flow in dust export zone 224.

In addition, the second guide portion 264 allows easily to mix with cyclonic air flow in the dust export zone 224 via the air that air return path 254 refluxes by dust export zone 224.

Be formed with opening 267 in the 3rd guide portion 266, pass through and permission filtration dust to allow the air in the dust receptacle 270.That is to say, by opening 267, prevent that the dust in the dust receptacle 270 from flowing in the dust export zone 224 through air return path 254.Therefore, the 3rd guide portion 266 is as the filter element of filtered air.

As mentioned above, because the air in the dust receptacle 270 returns cyclone separator 220 through air return path 254, so prevented from being attached to the inboard of dust export path 252 and then causing suction to reduce such as large impurity such as thin papers, and air-flow is not interrupted to keep the consistent level of suction.

Particularly, if dust blocks dust export path 252, so isolated dust can't be discharged into dust receptacle 270, and therefore isolated dust is deposited in the dust separation unit 10, so the dust of retaining hinders Air Flow.

But, when further being formed with the air return path 254 that is communicated with dust receptacle 270 and cyclone separator 220, the vacuum pressure that is produced by the vacuum motor that is arranged in the vacuum cleaner main body acts on the air return path 254 constantly, and this vacuum pressure allows the dust emissions in the dust export path 252 to arrive dust receptacle, therefore can keep equably air-flow.In addition, when air-flow is kept equably, prevent reducing of suction, and can keep equably suction.

Below, will provide the description according to the operation of the dust-separating apparatus of present embodiment.

Comprise the air of dust by described a pair of entrance 221, and be inhaled in the cyclone separator 220 along the tangential direction of cyclone separator 220.

The air that sucks converges in dust separation zone 222 circulations that are arranged in both sides and at 224 places, dust export zone, and in this process, because the centrifugal force that the varying in weight of air and dust causes them to be subject to is also different, air with dust because different centrifugal force and by separately.

Isolated dust (being illustrated by the broken lines) circulates in dust export zone 224 and discharges along the tangential direction of dust export path 252, and the dust of discharge flows through dust export passage 252 goes forward side by side into dust container 270.Herein, be not only dust, but also some air is also discharged through dust export path 252.

On the contrary, the air (being represented by solid line) that separated dust is filtered by filter element 230, then by exporting 229 to discharge from cyclone separator 220.The air of discharging flows through air outlet slit 240.

The air that enters dust receptacle 270 is by opening 267 and flow to air return path 254 being back to dust export zone 224, and mixes with cyclonic air flow in dust export zone 224.
