Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner wherein the particle trapping performance is improved.
  • the fibers of the dust bag are in a stretched position where the pores are enlarged.
  • the permeability of the dust bag also increases. Therefore, especially small sized particles may pass through the mentioned pores and cannot be trapped inside the bag. Furthermore, particles that strike to the said fibers of the dust bag with a considerably high velocity cause said bag to wear earlier than expected and thus to have a shorter usable lifespan.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a vacuum cleaner wherein the lifespan of the dust bag is increased and dust trapping performance is improved.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises a body (2), a vacuum chamber (4) positioned inside the body (2), at least one motor (3) which is used to generate the vacuum necessary for suction, a dust bag (6) inside the vacuum chamber (4) where sucked dust and particles are accumulated, and an electrical filter (5) whereby charged particles are trapped.
  • the motor (3) utilized is an electrical motor which may be operated at least at two different rpms.
  • the electrical energy necessary for the motor (3) is supplied either from the network or from a power supply inside the body (2).
  • the electrical filter (5) is such a filter that is charged temporarily as long as electric is supplied from a power supply and is neutral when the power is cut. In other words, it traps charged particles as long as it is supplied with electricity and releases them when the electricity is cut.
  • the aforementioned electrical filter (5) is positioned inside the body (2) in such a way that the flow is not blocked.
  • the filter cleaning program is performed during the cleaning process.
  • the rpm of the motor (3) is decreased for a short period of time and then, by cutting the current applied to the electrical filter (5) it is achieved that the particles on the filter (5) are slowly transferred to the dust bag (6).
  • cleaning process is continued as the electrical filter (5) is again supplied with a current and as the rpm of the motor (3) is increased.
  • filter cleaning program is performed at the end of cleaning process.
  • filter cleaning program is performed at the beginning of the cleaning process. Since the current of the electrical filter (5) is cut at the end of the last cleaning process, dust particles fall under the filter (5).
  • the motor (3) is operated at a lower speed for a short period of time and by not supplying the electrical filter (5) with a current it is achieved that dust particles accumulated under the electrical filter (5) and left from the last cleaning process are slowly transferred to the dust bag (6). At the end of this period, it is started to supply the electrical filter (5) with current, and by increasing the rpm of the motor (3), normal cleaning procedure is continued.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) incorporates a fine filter (8) positioned after the dust bag (6) before the motor (3).
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises an ionizer (7) which is positioned before the electrical filter (5) and whereby sucked particles are charged with an electric load.
  • the ionizer (7) is utilized to charge the particles sucked from the surface where cleaning is performed by means of such state-of-the-art applications as tribo-charging, electrical field application, etc.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) in order to be able to decide the time when the filter cleaning program is to be performed, also comprises a sensor (not shown in figures) which measures the amount of the dust particles accumulated on the electrical filter (5).
  • the rpm of the motor (3) is gradually changed instead of being kept constant. For instance, if the program is applied at the end of the cleaning procedure, the rpm of the motor (3) is gradually decreased.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) also comprises an audio and/or visual warning unit (not shown in figures) which is used to inform the user that the filter cleaning program is being performed.
