Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cyclone unit that separates and collects contaminants from outside air and then discharges clean air and a contaminants-collecting apparatus having the same.
  • a vacuum cleaner employs a dust-collecting receptacle that separates contaminants from outside air entered through a suction nozzle, collects separated contaminants, and then, discharges clean air to the outside.
  • the dust-collecting receptacle described in document US 2002/0011053 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. Contaminants-laden air enters into the dust collecting receptacle in a substantially tangential direction to the dust collecting receptacle, and then, rises up along an inside surface of the dust collecting receptacle. Contaminants are separated from the contaminants-laden air by centrifugal force, and then, fall to a lower portion of the dust collecting receptacle by their own weight. Air separated from contaminants is discharged outside through an air-discharging pipe formed on an upper portion of the dust-collecting receptacle.
  • the conventional dust-collecting receptacle has less dust collecting performance than a dust-collecting receptacle having a cyclone structure formed integrally therein. Therefore, when users having the conventional vacuum cleaner employing no cyclone structure want excellent cleaning effect, the users are required to buy a vacuum cleaner having a cyclone structure leaving the conventional vacuum cleaner alone. As a result, an enormous burden of cost will be imposed on the users.
  • An aspect of the present invention is to provide a cyclone unit that can be easily disposed in the conventional dust-collecting receptacle and a contaminants-collecting apparatus having the same.
  • a cyclone unit for separating contaminants from contaminants-laden air drawn through an air inlet port of a dust-collecting receptacle via a suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner and for discharging air having contaminants separated to an air-discharging pipe, which comprises a cylindrical body disposed inside the dust-collecting receptacle; at least one supporting bracket extending from an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body to an inner circumferential surface of the dust collecting receptacle to support the cylindrical body and to separate the cylindrical body from the inner circumferential surface of the dust-collecting receptacle; and an air inlet pipe having one end in fluid communication with the air inlet port of the dust-collecting receptacle and the other end in fluid communication with the cylindrical body in a tangential direction.
  • an end of the at least one supporting bracket may be bonded on the inner circumferential surface of the dust-collecting receptacle by thermal fusion bonding.
  • the air inlet pipe may be extended to wrap around some outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body to increase the whirling degree of the contaminants-laden air.
  • the cyclone unit may further comprise a helical guide disposed inside the cylindrical body to whirl the contaminants-laden air entered inside the cylindrical body through the air inlet pipe and to guide the contaminants-laden air to the air-discharging pipe formed at an upper side of the cylindrical body.
  • a width of the at least one supporting bracket may have the same dimension as a dimension of an outer diameter of the air inlet pipe.
  • the cylindrical body may further comprise a center shaft disposed at a center thereof for the contaminants-laden air to whirl smoothly therein.
  • a contaminants collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner comprises: a body having an air inlet through which contaminants-laden air entered via a suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner passes, collecting and discharging contaminants; and a cyclone unit comprising: a cylindrical body disposed inside the body; at least one supporting bracket extending from an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body to an inner circumferential surface of the body to support the cylindrical body and to separate the cylindrical body from the inner circumferential surface of the body; an air inlet pipe having one end in fluid communication with the air inlet port of the body and the other end in fluid communication with the cylindrical body in a tangential direction; and a helical guide disposed inside the cylindrical body to whirl the contaminants-laden air entered inside the cylindrical body through the air inlet pipe and to guide the contaminants-laden air to the air-discharging pipe formed at an upper side of the cylindrical body.
  • the body further comprises an upper cover opening or closing a top end of the body, wherein the upper cover is integrally formed with an air-discharging pipe to guide air discharged from the body to the outside.
  • the body may further comprise a lower cover disposed at a bottom end of the body by a hinge connection to open or close the bottom end of the body.
  • the body may be made of transparent material or semitransparent material.
  • a top end of the cyclone unit may be spaced apart from a bottom end of the upper cover so that contaminants centrifugally separated in the cyclone unit are discharged to the body.
  • a contaminants discharging pathway may be formed between an outer circumferential surface of the cyclone unit and an inner circumferential surface of the body, and a contaminants collecting chamber may be formed between a bottom surface of the cyclone unit and a lower cover.
  • the air-discharging pipe may be extended downwardly from the upper cover inside the cylindrical body of the cyclone unit.
  • the at least one supporting bracket may be bonded on the inner circumferential surface of the body by thermal fusion bonding.
  • the at least one supporting bracket may be fixed to the body by at least one screw.
  • the cyclone unit comprises a plurality of supporting brackets, wherein the width of each of the plurality of supporting brackets is wider than a gap between an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and an inner circumferential surface of the body so that a side end of each of the plurality of supporting brackets presses the inner circumferential surface of the body to fix the cylindrical body into the body.
  • the air inlet pipe may be disposed to be in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the body so that the air inlet pipe separates the cylindrical body from the inner circumferential surface of the body and supports the cylindrical body.
  • the air inlet pipe is bonded on the inner circumferential surface of the body by thermal fusion bonding.
  • An outer diameter of the air inlet pipe may be larger than a gap between an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and an inner circumferential surface of the body so that the air inlet pipe presses the inner circumferential surface of the body with at least one of the plurality of supporting brackets to fix the cylindrical body into the body.
