Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner.
- a vacuum cleaner is an apparatus that uses suctioning force imparted by a suction motor installed in the main body to suction air including dust and filter the dust within the main body.
- Such vacuum cleaners can largely be divided into canister vacuum cleaners that have a suctioning nozzle provided separately from and connected with a main body, and upright vacuum cleaners that have a suctioning nozzle coupled to the main body.
- a related art vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum cleaner main body, and a dust separating apparatus installed in the vacuum cleaner main body for separating dust from air.
- the dust separating apparatus is generally configured to separate dust using the cyclone principle.
- An object of the present disclosure is to provide a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner with improved dust separating performance.
- Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner having a dust container with a simplified configuration to allow a user to easily empty dust.
- a further object of the present disclosure is to provide a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner that allows a user to use minimal exertion to handle a dust container.
- a dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner includes: a dust separator defining a plurality of air inlets; a dust outlet that is less in number than the air inlets, the dust outlet for discharging dust separated from air suctioned through the respective air inlets; and a dust container for storing dust discharged through the dust outlet.
- a dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner includes: a dust separator for separating dust from suctioned air; a single dust outlet for discharging dust separated in the dust separator; a plurality of outlets formed in the dust separator, for discharging air from which dust has been separated; and a dust container for storing dust discharged through the dust outlet.
- a dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner includes: a dust separator generating a plurality of cyclone airflows; a dust outlet for discharging dust separated in the dust separator; and a dust container for storing dust discharged through the dust outlet, wherein each of the cyclone airflows moves in a mutually convergent direction.
- An advantage according to embodiments of the present disclosure is that because a plurality of inlets is formed in a cyclone, and a plurality of cyclone airflows is formed within the cyclone, the airflow volume is increased and airflow loss is reduced, for improved dust separating performance.
- inlets are formed at either side of the cyclone, and a dust outlet is formed in the center of the cyclone, so that a forceful cyclone airflow is generated at the central portion of the cyclone to allow dust to be easily discharged.
- a cover member is detachably coupled to the cyclone, with the cover member separated from the cyclone, a user can easily clean the inside of the cyclone and the filter member.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views schematically showing the structure of a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure
- Fig. 3 is a disassembled perspective view of the dust separating apparatus in Figs. 1 and 2.
- a dust separating apparatus 1 of a vacuum cleaner includes a dust separating unit 10 that separates dust from suctioned air, a dust container 20 for storing dust separated by the dust separating unit 10, a suctioning guide 30 that guides the flow of air including dust toward the dust separating unit 10, and a distribution unit 40 for distributing the air in the suctioning guide 30 to the dust separating unit 10.
- a dust separating unit 10 that separates dust from suctioned air
- a dust container 20 for storing dust separated by the dust separating unit 10
- a suctioning guide 30 that guides the flow of air including dust toward the dust separating unit 10
- a distribution unit 40 for distributing the air in the suctioning guide 30 to the dust separating unit 10.
- the dust separating unit 10 separates dust from air supplied from the distribution unit 40.
- the dust separating unit 10 uses the cyclone principle to separate dust from air, and includes a cyclone 110 for this purpose.
- the axis of the cyclone 110 extends in a horizontal direction. Thus, the air within the cyclone 110 rotates in a vertical direction.
- a pair of inlets 120 is formed (one on either side) on the cyclone 110, to suction air.
- the pair of inlets 120 may be formed in tangential directions with respect to the cyclone 110 in order to generate a cyclone airflow within the cyclone 110.
- the pair of inlets 120 provides suctioning passages for air entering the cyclone 110.
- the pair of inlets 120 is connected, one on either side of the distribution unit 40.
- the air that flows through the suctioning guide 30 is branched at either side at the distribution unit 40, and the branched air rises along the respective inlets 120 to be suctioned into the cyclone 110.
- a dust outlet 130 that exhausts dust separated within the cyclone 110 is formed at the center of the cyclone 110.
- the dust outlet 130 is formed tangentially with respect to the cyclone 110 to allow easy discharging of dust.
- the dust separated in the cyclone 110 is discharged tangentially with respect to the cyclone 110 - that is, in the same direction in which the dust has been rotating - allowing easy discharging of not only dust with higher density, but also easy discharging of dust with lower density from the cyclone 110.
- air outlets 140 are formed, one on either side of the cyclone 110, to discharge air separated from dust in the cyclone 110.
- the air discharged through the air outlets 140 converges at a converging passage 142 and enters the main body of the vacuum cleaner (not shown).
- the dust container 20 stores dust separated in the dust separating unit 10. Since the dust container 20 is installed on the vacuum cleaner main body, the dust container 20 communicates with the dust separating unit 10.
- the dust container 20 when the dust container 20 is installed on the vacuum cleaner main body, the dust container 20 is disposed below the dust separating unit 10. Thus, a dust inlet 210 is formed in the upper side of the dust container 20. Also, the dust outlet 130 extends downward from the cyclone 110.
- a cover member 220 is coupled at the bottom of the dust container 20 to discharge dust stored within.
- the cover member 220 may be pivotably coupled to the dust container 20, and may be detachably coupled thereto.
- the coupling method of the cover member 220 in the present embodiment is not restricted to any particular methods.
- the dust container 20 is provided as a separate component to the dust separating unit 10, and is configured to be selectively communicable with the dust separating unit 10. Accordingly, a user can separate only the dust container 20 from the vacuum cleaner main body to empty dust stored in the dust container 20 to the outside.
- the structure of the dust container 20 is simplified and the weight of the dust container
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 taken along line A-A
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 taken along line B-B.
- the cyclone 110 includes a body 111 for generating cyclone airflow, and a pair of sides 115, each constituting one of either sides of the body 111. The sides 115 parallelly face one another.
- An inlet 120 is respectively formed on either side of the body 111. Each inlet 120 is formed tangentially with respect to the cyclone 110. Thus, the air suctioned through each inlet 120 forms one of two cyclone airflows within the cyclone 110.
- the cyclone airflows circulate along the inner surface of the body 111.
- the flow volume of air is increased, loss of airflow is reduced, and separating performance can be improved.
- the cyclone can be formed smaller than with a single cyclone airflow generated in a single space.
- the centrifugal force generated at the inlets 120 is greater than in the related art, thus improving dust separating performance.
- additional dust separating units may be provided in the present embodiment.
- the cyclone airflow at the center increases. Therefore, a stronger cyclone airflow is generated at the center of the cyclone 110 than at the sides of the inlets 120.
- the strength of the airflow is greater than in the case where a single cyclone airflow is generated in a single space, thereby increasing dust separating performance.
- Dust that moves to the center of the cyclone 110 can be discharged through the dust outlet 130 to the dust container 20 by means of the strong cyclone airflow, so that dust discharging performance can be increased.
- Hair and other impurities can easily adhere to the entrance or the inside of the dust outlet 130 by means of static electricity. However, because in the present embodiment, a strong cyclone airflow is generated at the dust outlet 130, hair and other impurities do not adhere to the dust outlet 130, and can easily be discharged to the dust container 20.
- An outlet 116 is formed to pass through each side 115 to discharge air from which dust is separated in the cyclone 110.
- a filter member 150 is coupled to each outlet 116 to filter the discharged air.
- the filter member 150 is configured with a cylindrical fastener 152 fastened to the inside of the cyclone 110, and a conical filter 154 extending from the fastener
- the fastener 152 does not have through-holes formed therein, so that air suctioned through the inlet 120 is not immediately discharged, but is able to smoothly circulate within the cyclone 110.
- the circulation of suctioned air can be guided to generate a smooth cyclone airflow within the cyclone 110, thereby increasing dust separating performance.
- a length (Ll) between the pair of filter members 150 provided within the cyclone may be made greater than a width (L2) of the dust outlet 130.
- the cyclone airflows generated in the cyclone 110 converge in the center of the cyclone 110, as described above, and the dust separated from air through the cyclone airflow is discharged through the dust outlet 130.
- the length (Ll) between the pair of filter members 150 is made smaller than the width (L2) of the dust outlet 130, impurities such as hair and tissue paper are not discharged through the dust outlet 130, and can adhere to the filter member 150 or lodge inside the holes 156. In this case, the air cannot easily pass through the filter member 150, causing a reduction in suctioning force.
- the length (Ll) between the pair of filter members 150 is made greater than the width (L2) of the dust outlet 130, so that impurities such as hair and tissue paper can be completely discharged through the dust outlet 130.
- air is suctioned through the plurality of inlets 120 into the cyclone 110, and air separated from dust in the cyclone 110 is discharged from the cyclone 110 through the plurality of outlets 116.
- a pair of guides 170 is formed within the cyclone 110 to prevent dust separated through cyclone airflow from moving to the outlets 116.
- the guide members 170 are formed along the inner peripheries of the cyclones 110 in unbroken curvatures.
- the guide members 170 extend predetermined lengths from the inner peripheries of the cyclones 110 to the axes of the cyclones.
- the guide members 170 extend from the inner peripheries of the cyclones 110 to the dust outlet 130. That is, the guide members 170 have a cross section that is formed with a predetermined slope. Accordingly, one end 171 of each of the guide members 170 has a diameter greater than the other end 172 thereof. Specifically, the guide members 170 are formed to have diameters that gradually narrow from the outlets 116 toward the dust outlet 130.
- each guide member 170 in the present embodiment can guide the cyclone airflows to flow smoothly from the outlets 116 to the dust outlet 130, and allow cyclone airflow to circulated between the respective guide members 170 when the cyclone airflows have moved to the dust outlet 130.
- each guide member 170 may be disposed within the width of the dust outlet 130. That is, at least a portion of the dust outlet 130 is disposed between the guide members 170.
- each guide member 170 When the one end 172 of each guide member 170, as described above, is disposed within the width of the dust outlet 130, dust on the outer sloped surfaces 174 of each guide member 170 is not discharged through the dust outlet 130, and can be prevented from continuously circulating along the guide members 170.
- An opening 112 is formed on the body 111 of the cyclone 110 to allow replacing and cleaning of the filter member 150.
- the opening 112 is opened and closed by means of a cover member 160.
- a sealing member 114 is provided at the coupling region of the opening 112 and the cover member 160.
- the inner surface of the cover member 160 may be formed to have the same curvature as the inner periphery of the body 111 when the cover member 160 is coupled to the body 111. Accordingly, changes to the cyclone airflow due to the cover member 160 within the cyclone 110 can be prevented, and the cyclone airflow can be uniformly maintained.
- cover member 160 is detachably coupled to the cyclone 110, a user can detach the cover member 160 to easily replace the filter members 150 and easily clean the inside of the cyclone 110 and the filter members 150.
- a dust compartment 202 for storing dust is defined within the dust container 20, and a dust inlet 210 is defined in the top of the dust container 20. Also, a sealing member 212, for sealing the contacting region between the dust inlet 210 and the dust outlet 130, is provided on the dust inlet 210. Here, the sealing member 212 may also be provided on the dust outlet 130.
- FIGs. 6 and 7 are sectional views showing airflow within a dust separating apparatus according to the first embodiment, where Fig. 6 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 taken along line A-A showing airflow, and Fig. 7 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 taken along line B-B showing airflow.
- the suctioned air rotates along the inner surface of the cyclone 110 to move along the guide members 170 and converge at the center of the cyclone 110, and during this process, air and dust are subjected to different centrifugal forces due to their differences in weight, so that separation occurs therebetween.
- the separated dust (represented by the broken lines) is discharged from the center of the cyclone 110 through the dust outlet 130, and the discharged dust flows through the dust outlets 130 and into the dust container 20.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing the structure of a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure
- Fig. 9 is a sectional view of Fig. 8 taken along line C-C.
- the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in all other aspects except that it is characterized by differences in the shapes of the cyclone and the dust outlet. Therefore, description will be provided of only the characterizing portions of the present embodiment.
- a dust separator 60 includes a cyclone 610 that progressively increases in diameter from either end to the center 611.
- a pair of guide members 640 is formed at the dust outlet 630.
- the guide members 640 are symmetrically formed about the center of the dust outlet 630.
- the cyclone 610 is thus formed to have a progressively increasing diameter toward the center, a pair of cyclone airflows generated at either side of the cyclone 610, can easily converge at the center.
- the pair of guide members 640 is provided symmetrically to either side of the dust outlet 630, the cyclone airflows can move between the respective guide members 640, to thereby facilitate the converging of the cyclone airflows toward the center 611.
- dust can be easily discharged through the dust outlet 630.
- the dust outlet 630 is also larger than that in the first embodiment.
- the upper and lower perimeters 632 and 634 of the dust outlet 630 may be formed to be angled corresponding to the sloped angle of the cyclone 610.
- the center of the cyclone 610 may be configured to be mounted on top of the dust container 70. Accordingly, the dust container 70 may have a mounting recess 701 formed to mount the central portion of the cyclone 610 therein.
- the dust container 20 may be disposed below the cyclone 110 while installed on the main body of the vacuum cleaner, or alternatively, the dust container 20 may be disposed at the front of the cyclone 110. In these cases, the dust inlet of the dust container 20 may be defined in a side of the dust container 20, or may be disposed at the top of the dust container 20.
- a cover member for discharging dust may be provided at either the top or the bottom of the dust container.
