Description

Electric dust collector

The present invention relates to a kind of electric dust collector, particularly relate to a kind of exhaust of sending from built-in electric fan forms circulation by flexible pipe and hard tube and cleaner head exhaust circulation (circulation) formula electric dust collector.

Common ground moving dust catcher is to be designed to the form that gas that the electric fan in the dust collector host discharges is all discharged from the exhaust outlet of main frame back.

Be specially dust and air and be inhaled in the dust collector host by hard tube and flexible pipe by cleaner head, through dust collecting paper bag dust is removed, the air that removes dust cools off the drive division of motor, is discharged from by exhaust outlet then.Yet because the exhaust of electric fan all is discharged from, the wind of discharge is very strong, and part is blown by institute, no matter is floor or carpet, and the dust above it is blown in the air, makes the cleaning in the chamber strengthen difficulty.

To reduce outside exhaust air rate, raising pick-up performance etc. is purpose, and people have proposed following scheme.That is, in the flexible pipe and the hard tube and the head of giving a dinner of welcome of original connection dust collector host, together form a circulation flow path that the exhaust of electric fan is circulated with air suction way.

But, if motor is all passed through in the exhaust of electric fan, gas behind this cooling motor is circulated, because its temperature of the gas behind the cooling motor raises, circulation back temperature is more and more higher repeatedly, to make the temperature rising of dust collector host, flexible pipe, hard tube and motor, and under the state of this high temperature, continue to use dust catcher singly not feel bad, and also might cause main frame distortion, motor properties to descend even damage.On the other hand, contain the carbon powder particle that the carbon brush by motor generates with contacting of commutator in the gas behind the cooling motor, as it is circulated, carbon dust will paid on exhaust loop wall and from the dust suction draught animals and be blown the cleaning face etc. of making dirty.It as the whole circulation of exhaust, will reduce from the new outer gas that sucks of cleaner head again, causes the decline of dust-absorbing strength.

Therefore, the scheme that applicant once proposed is: the peripheral part at electric fan centrifugal fan cover forms exhaust outlet, the gas part that centrifugal fan is discharged and the identical cooling motor that is used in the past, discharge from exhaust outlet then, remaining part does not enter the exhaust loop by motor from the fan guard exhaust outlet.

The design of above-mentioned formation is a ratio of determining the capacity of desirable circulation capacity and main exhaust mouth to the flow impedance of the exhaust channel of main exhaust mouth to the flow impedance and the electric fan of the exhaust loop of cleaner head by the reference electric fan.

But, if the ratio of circulation capacity is established height, then reduce from the air quantity of main exhaust mouth, to be deflated the dust dust-absorbing strength that wind rises not strong though can reduce.So, for the effective dust out that saves time, must increase the capacity of main exhaust mouth, promptly increase dust-absorbing strength.For example in the slit of the using slot first-class occasion of dust suction, if the air exhaust loop flow is too high, the circulation exhaust will blow out from cleaner head, makes and should be dispelled on the contrary by indrawn dust.Should be the capacity that increases the dust collector host exhaust outlet, reduce the air exhaust loop flow and strengthen dust-absorbing strength, when design, the ratio of air exhaust loop flow is made as fixing, so, can't satisfy this user mode.

Therefore, purpose of the present invention is exactly in order to overcome the above problems, and a kind of electric dust collector that can change exhaust circulation ratio as required is provided.

In order to achieve the above object, electric dust collector of the present invention, in dust collector host, has the exhaust channel of gas directly being discharged the main frame outside from electric fan, to there be the dust collector host of built-in electric fan to be connected with the air exhaust loop circulation flow path that the gas that electric fan is discharged carries out circulation by air suction way simultaneously, it is characterized in that also having the guiding mechanism of adjusting the circulation capacity in the exhaust loop and directly discharging the capacity ratio of main frame outside by exhaust channel with cleaner head.
