  • the discharge unit is situated at a region near the end of the inclined portion of the frustoconical cyclone unit
  • the cyclone unit comprises at least one cyclone inlet, situated at a part near its upper end, that provides the air rising by coming out of water to be received into the cyclone unit.
  • the cyclone unit furthermore comprises a support member that extends from the cyclone unit towards the inner wall of the reservoir.
  • at least one passage hole is situated on the support member, extending along the support member, providing the flow of air rising in the reservoir and proceeding towards the cyclone unit.
  • the vacuum cleaner comprises a guidance member that provides the dirty air received from the inlet port to enter into the reservoir from a lower level.
  • One end of the guidance member overlaps with the inlet port and the other end opens into the liquid in the reservoir.
  • a protrusion is situated on the base of the reservoir whereon the cyclone unit is disposed.
  • the protrusion that is preferably in truncated cone shape, is situated right at the center of the reservoir and extends upwards from the base of the reservoir.

  • the dirty air entering into the reservoir (6) from the inlet port (7) leaves the bigger dust particles contained therein into the water in the reservoir (6) and enters into the cyclone unit (8) by rising. Cyclonic motion is created in the cyclone unit (8) when the motor (3) starts operating and the dust particles in the dirty air are separated and cling to the liquid at the inner surface of the cyclone unit (8). Thus, the dust particles in the dirty air are separated in two stages and discharged out of the cyclone unit (8).
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) of the present invention furthermore comprises at least one discharge unit (12) situated on the cyclone unit (8), providing the water entering into the cyclone unit (8) to be discharged into the reservoir (6) thus preventing water from being collected in the cyclone unit (8).
  • the discharge unit (12) is activated and provides the water to be delivered into the reservoir (6) ( Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4).
  • the discharge unit (12) comprises a discharge hole (13) situated on the surface of the cyclone unit (8) and a discharge pipe (14) that provides water leaving the discharge hole (13) to be directed into the liquid inside the reservoir (6).
  • the discharge pipe (14) that provides water leaving the discharge hole (13) to be directed into the liquid inside the reservoir (6).
  • the liquid in the cyclone unit (8) is provided to mix with the liquid in the reservoir (6) controllably.
  • the discharge unit (12) comprises a barrier (15), situated at the end of the discharge pipe (14) facing the reservoir (6), which partially closes the opening at the end of the discharge pipe (14) and prevents passage of liquid from the reservoir (6) into the cyclone unit (8). Consequently, when the vacuum cleaner (1) is moved by the user, the liquid between the cyclone unit (8) and the reservoir (6) is prevented from seeping from the open end of the discharge pipe (14) into the cyclone unit (8). Furthermore, passage of liquid from the cyclone unit (8) into the reservoir (6) is not prevented since the barrier (15) does not entirely close the end of the discharge pipe (14).
  • the discharge unit (12) is situated at a region near the end of the inclined portion of the cyclone unit (8).
  • the level of liquid inside the cyclone unit (8) is lowered before reaching a level dangerous for the motor (3).
  • the cyclone unit (8) comprises at least one cyclone inlet (16) situated at its end corresponding to the upper part of the reservoir (6) when placed into the reservoir (6), a support member (17) situated under the cyclone inlet (16) and extending from the cyclone unit (8) towards the inner wall of the reservoir (6) and at least one passage hole (18) situated on the support member (17), allowing passage of air from under the support member (17) to the upper part thereof where the cyclone inlets (16) are situated.
  • the support member (17) functions like a curtain between the reservoir (6) and the cyclone unit (8) and prevents the water in the reservoir (6) from getting out.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises a guidance member (20) that provides the dirty air received from the inlet port (7) to be delivered directly into the liquid inside the reservoir (6).
  • the bigger dust particles contact directly with water without being dispersed inside the reservoir (6) and the air entering the cyclone unit (8) is provided to be cleaner ( Figure 4).
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises a protrusion (21) situated at the base of the reservoir (6) and whereon the cyclone unit (8) is disposed.
  • the cyclone unit (8) disposed inside the reservoir (6) without using any connection elements is prevented from sliding on the base of the reservoir (6).
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) furthermore comprises an extension (22) situated on the protrusion (21) that regulates the flow of air entering the cyclone unit (8).
  • the extension (22) is preferably conic. The dust particles separated with the cyclonic motion created by the motor (3) fall towards the base of the reservoir (6) and are directed towards the sides of the protrusion (21) by means of the extension (22).
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises a first cover (11) that covers over the reservoir (6) and the cyclone unit (8), having a propeller (10) that provides the air in the cyclone unit (8) to be discharged outside.
  • a first cover (11) that covers over the reservoir (6) and the cyclone unit (8), having a propeller (10) that provides the air in the cyclone unit (8) to be discharged outside.
  • the first cover (11) comprises a protecting means (19) that surrounds the transmission elements connected to the propeller (10) and protects these elements from the water splashing thereon.
  • liquid is prevented from leaking out of the cyclone unit (8) since the protecting means (19) is aligned with the propeller (10) on the first cover (11) that provides air to flow outside.
  • the vacuum cleaner (1) comprises a second cover (24) placed on the first cover (11), having a filtering member (23) which provides the air discharged by the propeller (10) to be filtered again before being delivered to the surroundings.
  • the second cover (24) is placed on the first cover (11) so as to entirely close the air exit opening on the first cover (11).
