A cleaning apparatus is an apparatus for cleaning dust, of which a vacuum cleaner is the most commonly used cleaning apparatus. The working principle of the dust collector is that an electric fan in the dust collector runs at a high speed, air and dust are sucked from a dust suction port, the dust is retained in a filter element, and the filtered air is discharged to the outside of the dust collector.
The electric fan is a core component of the dust collector and is used as a power source of the dust collector. The electric fan mainly comprises a fan assembly, wherein the fan assembly comprises a fan cover, a diffuser and a rotary impeller. The diffuser and the shell are kept relatively static (fixedly connected), the rotating impeller rotates at a high speed under the drive of the rotor, and air in the rotating impeller is thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, so that the impeller has high radial and tangential speeds. On one hand, negative pressure is formed inside the rotary impeller, and external air continuously flows to the rotary impeller from an air inlet of the air cover; on the other hand, the high-speed airflow thrown out by the rotating impeller is diffused by the diffusion blades on the diffuser and finally discharged. Along with the high-speed rotation of the rotary impeller, the electric fan can continuously suck air, and the functional requirements of the dust collector are met.
A diffuser in the electric fan is matched with the rotary impeller, the rotary impeller rotates to generate airflow under the working state, the airflow flows through the diffuser from inside to outside, the flow speed of the airflow is reduced when the airflow flows through the diffuser, and therefore kinetic energy of the airflow is converted into static pressure energy, and pressurization is achieved. Diffusers can be divided into vaned diffusers, which as the name implies, are diffusers provided with vanes, which, by their shape and angle, limit the direction of flow, forcing the flow to pass through a passage of given geometry to achieve smaller dimensions and smaller flow losses. The diffuser related to the invention is a vaned diffuser, and the diffusers are all vaned diffusers. Specifically, the gas flow passes through a passage formed between two adjacent blades of the diffuser, and the flow velocity of the gas is reduced in the flowing process, so that the purpose of pressurization is achieved.
