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.
  • dust separating apparatuses for vacuum cleaners that can be easily separated from the vacuum cleaner main body, and that enable dust to easily be emptied are required.
  • WO 2006/026414 discloses a cyclonic separation device having a cylindrical housing formed with a substantially cylindrical sidewall, wherein a single inlet is provided at the sidewall.
  • EP 1 547 509 A discloses that a cyclonic airflow chamber and a dust collection chamber are provided within a housing.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a dust container that stores dust is provided as a separate component from a dust separator, a user can empty dust by separating only the dust container, thereby increasing user convenience in handling the dust container.
  • the structure of the dust container is simplified, and the weight of the dust container is minimized, thereby increasing user convenience.
  • 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.
  • air suctioned through a suctioning nozzle flows to the suctioning guide 30.
  • the suctioning guide 30 is provided inside the vacuum cleaner, and is disposed below the dust container 20.
  • the suctioning guide 30 has the distribution unit 40 connected thereto.
  • 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.
  • 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. Therefore, 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 separated from air suctioned through each inlet 120 at either side of the cyclone 110 moves to the center of the cyclone 110.
  • the dust that flows to the center of the cyclone passes through the dust outlet 130 and is discharged to the dust container 20.
  • 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.
  • dust with lower density can easily be discharged, dust with lower density will accumulate less on a filter member (to be described below), facilitating flow of air and improving dust separating performance.
  • 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.
  • the dust separated in the cyclone 110 moves downward along the dust outlet 130, and the separated dust can easily enter the dust container 20.
  • 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 20 can be minimized.
  • 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 cyclone when a pair of cyclone airflows is generated within a single space, the cyclone can be formed smaller than with a single cyclone airflow generated in a single space.
  • 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 152 to filter air.
  • a plurality of holes 156 is formed in the filter 154 for air to pass through.
  • air separated from dust in the cyclone 110 passes through the plurality of holes 156 and is discharged from the cyclone 110 through the outlets 116.
  • 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 (L1) 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 (L1) 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 (L1) 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.
  • the cyclone airflow generated at the inlet 120 moves toward the dust outlet 130 along the inner periphery of the cyclone 110.

  • the holes 156 of the filter member 150 being clogged by the separated dust can be prevented, and thus, a reduction of suctioning power of air can be prevented.
  • the diameter of the flow guide 170 progressively lessens toward the dust outlet 130, the strength of the cyclone airflows converging at the dust outlet 130 can be increased, allowing the separated dust to be easily discharged.
  • 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.
