Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising an easily mountable and demountable cyclone unit placed on the cleaner and which can be cleaned.
  • some amount of dust sucked is collected in a separate unit before being sent to the dust bags or filters. Remaining amount of particles is captured again by these dust bags and filters.
  • dust accumulated in these units located between the handle and the brush needs to be prevented from being spread when the vacuum cleaner operates, and after the work is done needs to be easily cleaned by detaching the unit.
  • United States Patent US6195835 describes a vacuum cleaner that comprises a cyclone unit, which is attached under a handle and held with a locking mechanism.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner comprising a cyclone unit having a dust collecting tub which provides easier discharge of dust accumulated when attaching or detaching during emptying process.
  • Fig 1 is a schematic, general view of a vacuum cleaner
  • Fig 2 is a perspective view of a fixing clamp
  • Fig 3 is a perspective view of a cyclone unit
  • Fig 4 is an exploded perspective view of a cyclone unit
  • Fig 5 is a perspective view of a cyclone unit where its fixing clamp is open
  • Fig 6 is a perspective view of a cyclone unit where its dust collecting tub is removed
  • Fig 7 is a perspective view of a cyclone unit where the top and bottom covers of the cyclone body are removed and where all components of the cyclone body are illustrated such that they can be detached.
  • Vacuum cleaners (24) comprise of a cleaner body (1) having a control unit and a motor unit which executes suction operation, a suction nozzle (5) which is utilized for cleaning dirty floors, a hose (2) which is preferably made of plastic material and attached to the cleaner body (1), a handle (3) which is preferably made of plastic material, connected to the hose (2) making it easy for the user to hold the cleaner by hand, a pipe (4) which is preferably made of metal or hard plastic material and is connected to the handle (3), and a cyclone unit (6) which is located between the cleaner body (1) and the suction nozzle (5), attached on the pipe (4) and/or handle (3) and/or hose (2), and provides better storage for dust being sucked.
  • Cyclone unit (6) includes a cyclone body (7) where other components are assembled on it, an inner cyclone pipe (17) which provides separation of dust moving inside the cyclone body (7), an outlet of cyclone body (13) which provides discharging the dust particles from inside cyclone body (7) to the outside, a dust collecting tub (9) which is placed on the cyclone body (7) and where dust accumulated during cleaning process, an inlet of dust collecting tub (12) that is located on the dust collecting tub (9) and placed across the outlet of cyclone body (13), a washer (11) that provides watertight property between outlet of cyclone body (13) and inlet of dust collecting tub (12), one or more than one rail (22) where a dust collecting tub (9) is connected on and which enables movement for dust collecting tub (9) along cyclone body (7), one or more than one slipway (23) that has a convenient shape and amount for the rail (22) providing movement for dust collecting tub (9) on the rail (22), a lid of dust collecting tub (10) that is placed on the inlet
  • a fixing clamp (8) comprises of a ring (25), preferably with rounded shape, provides placement of the cyclone body (7) over it and provides movement by rotating of cyclone body (7) over its central axis, a tail (26) attached to the ring (25) and placed under the dust collecting tub (9) by moving along with the ring (25), preventing dust collecting tub (9) to detach from the cyclone body (7) and further providing dust collecting tub (9) to detach from the cyclone body (7) by estranging it under the dust collecting tub (9) when it moves along with the ring (25), a locking device (21) providing it to be stabled on the dust collecting tub (9), and one or more than one suction opening (18) that enables rotating movement when the locking device (21) is open.
  • Dust collecting tub (9) comprises a lock nest (20) which is located on the bottom surface which is covered for the fixing clamp (8) to operate, where the locking device (21) is pushed for placing and locking of the fixing clamp (8) in it, one or more than one lock extension (19) that passes through the suction opening (18) and under circumstances where locking device (21) is detached from the lock nest (20) that detaches the fixing clamp (8) from itself by rotating it over the central axis of the cyclone body (7).
  • the user detaches it from the lock nest (20) by pressing on the locking device (21) while removing the dust collecting tub (9) from the cyclone body (7).
  • the fixing clamp (8) which is left as unrestricted, is moved by rotating over the central axis of the cyclone body (7). After the fixing clamp (8) is fully detached from the dust collecting tub (9), dust collecting tub (9) is moved by slipping the slipway (23) over the rail (22) in a manner such that it is parallel to the central axis of the cyclone body (7) and dust collecting tub (9) is then detached from the cyclone body (7).
  • dust collecting tub (9) Since the only suction opening of the dust collecting tub (9) is on the same side with the lid of the dust collecting tub (10), dust collecting tub (9) is detached from the cyclone body (7) without scattering dirt and dust particles around and is inserted back to its place with the help of the slipway (23) which moves on rails (22). After inserting dust collecting tub (9) back to its original place, it is fixed to its place by the fixing clamp (8).
  • top lid of cyclone body (14) and bottom lid of cyclone body (15) that are connected by screw threads to the ends of cyclone body (7) are easily detached from their locations by rotating them with respect to the central axis of cyclone body (7) and all components on the cyclone body (7) can be demounted and remounted easily in a similar way.
