Description

P513046GB Handle Tube and Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner Equipped with the Same
This invention relates to a handle tube, and to a vacuum cleaner provided with such a handle tube, and in particular to a handle tube associated with a cyclonic dust collector, and to a vacuum cleaner equipped with such a handle tube.
A vacuum cleaner is an appliance for removing dust (and other foreign substances) from a surface to be cleaned, air being forcibly circulated by rotating a motor so that a partial vacuum is formed in the interior of the cleaner body. As a result, dust and other foreign substances (hereinafter called dust) is sucked into the appliance together with air due to the pressure difference generated between the inside and outside of the cleaner body.
A cyclonic dust collector is an apparatus for separating particles from a fluid using centrifugal force. Owing to the advantage of simple construction and endurability against high temperature and pressure, cyclonic dust collectors have been widely used in many industrial fields, including that of vacuum cleaners.
A known vacuum cleaner provided with a cyclonic dust collector is disclosed in Korean patent application Not 1999-20704.
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the vacuum cleaner disclosed in that patent application. As can be seen from Figure 1, the conventional vacuum cleaner 1 having a cyclonic dust collector 21 comprises a cleaner body 3, a flexible hose 9 connected to the cleaner body 3, an extension tube 8, a handle tube 7 connected between the flexible hose and the extension tube, and a cyclonic dust collector 21 positioned between the handle tube and the extension tube.
The cleaner body 3 is divided into a dust-collection chamber (not shown), within which a dust bag (not shown) is received, and a drive motor chamber (not shown), within which is provided a motor (not shown) for sucking dust-carrying air into the dust-collection chamber.
The distal end of the extension tube 8 is connected to a nozzle unit 10 which is constructed to contact a surface to be cleaned, the bottom side of the nozzle unit being formed with an inlet aperture.
The cyclonic dust collector 21 is positioned between the handle tube 7 and the extension tube 8, and separates dust contained in drawn-in air by centrifugal force. The handle tube 7 is provided with a hand grip 4 on one side thereof, so that a user can easily grip the handle tube.
When electric power is applied to the motor, dust-carrying air is sucked in through the inlet aperture of the nozzle unit 10 by the force produced by the motor. Air flows along the extension tube 8 and into the cyclonic dust collector 21. Large dust particles and substances such as paper scraps are separated from the air by centrifugal force, while air flowing into the cyclonic dust collector 21 forms a swirling air stream which moves towards the closed end of the cyclonic dust collector. The separated dust descends along the internal wall of a dust-collection receptacle 25 and is collected in the lower part of that receptacle.
The air then moves along the handle tube 7 and the flexible hose 9 and into the cleaner body 3, where separation and collection of fine dust particles is carried out in a similar manner to that described above for the dust collector 21.
A disadvantage of this conventional vacuum cleaner is the necessity of providing a hand grip for the handle tube, particularly when a cyclonic dust collector is provided.
In this case, the load of the handle tube is unevenly concentrated towards the cyclonic dust collector, so that it is difficult to move the vacuum cleaner smoothly over a surface to be cleaned.
In addition, in such a conventional cleaner, the airflow path is long, including the nozzle unit 10, the extension tube 8, the cyclonic dust collector 21, the handle tube 7, and the flexible hose 9, and this leads to a substantial reduction in the suction force.
Consequently, the dust collection capability of this cyclonic dust collector is reduced.
An aim of the invention is to provide a handle tube for a vacuum cleaner, which handle tube is simple in construction and easy for a user to grip when cleaning is performed, and to provide a vacuum cleaner equipped with such a handle tube.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a lightweight handle tube for a vacuum cleaner, which handle tube is provided with a handle-shaped air flow passage, whereby a separate hand grip is not needed, and to provide a vacuum cleaner equipped with such a handle tube.
Yet another aim of the invention is to provide a handle tube for a vacuum cleaner, the handle tube being provided with a handle-shaped air flow passage which is provided with a cyclonic dust collector, and to provide a vacuum cleaner equipped with such a handle tube.
The present invention provides a vacuum cleaner comprising a nozzle unit through which dust-carrying air can be sucked, a cleaner body for supplying a suction force to the nozzle unit, and a handle tube interconnecting the nozzle unit and the cleaner body so that air is capable of flowing through the handle tube, wherein a predetermined part of the handle tube is formed as a hand grip to be gripped by a user.
In a preferred embodiment, the handle tube is formed with two bends between a distal end thereof connected to the nozzle unit, and a proximal end connected to the cleaner body. Preferably, the external surface of the handle is formed with a knurled section.
The vacuum cleaner may further comprise a cyclonic dust collector installed on the handle tube.
The cyclonic dust collector preferably comprises a cyclone body for causing air flow within the handle tube to swirl and centrifugally separate and discharge dust; and a dust collection receptacle for collecting centrifugally-separated dust, the receptacle being removably attached to the cyclone body.
Preferably, the cyclone body comprises a suction port through which dustcarrying air flows into the handle tube; a discharge port for discharging air from which dust has been separated; and a grille adjacent to the discharge port for removing fine dust particles.
The invention also provides a handle tube for a vacuum cleaner, the handle tube being interposed, in use, between a nozzle unit for sucking in dust-carrying air and a cleaner body for supplying a suction force to the nozzle unit, wherein the handle tube is formed with an air flow passage for interconnecting the nozzle unit and the cleaner body, and with a hand grip capable of being gripped by a user.
Preferably, the handle tube further comprises a cyclonic dust collector.
The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner provided with a conventional cyclonic dust collector; Figure 2 is a side view of a handle tube for a vacuum cleaner constructed according to the present invention, the handle tube being equipped with a cyclonic dust collector; and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the handle tube shown in Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 2 shows a vacuum cleaner handle tube which is constructed in such a manner that a flow passage of the handle tube is shaped to take the form of hand grip, whereby a separate hand grip is not needed, and the handle tube is of lightweight material.
The vacuum cleaner (not shown) also includes a cyclonic dust collector 21 which comprises a nozzle unit 10, a cleaner body 3, a flexible hose 9 interconnecting the nozzle unit and the cleaner body, a handle tube 7 installed between the flexible hose and the nozzle unit, and an extension tube 8 having its distal end connected to the nozzle unit and its proximal end connected to the handle tube (all as shown in Figure 1).
The cleaner body 3 is divided into a dust-collection chamber (not shown) provided within the cleaner body 3 and receiving a dust bag (not shown), and a motor drive chamber (not shown) housing a motor (not shown) for sucking in air that contains dust into the dust-collection chamber.
The distal end of the extension tube 8 is connected to the nozzle unit 10, and the nozzle unit contacts, in use, a surface to be cleaned, the bottom side of the nozzle unit being formed with an inlet aperture (not shown).
Part of the handle tube 7 is formed with a hand grip 60 so that a user can easily grip the handle tube.
The handle tube 7 is shown in greater detail in Figure 3, which shows how the cyclonic dust collector 21 is mounted, the reference symbol I indicating the front side of the handle tube.
The handle tube 7 comprises the cyclonic dust collector 21, which is mounted on the handle tube, and a handle tube body 30. The cyclonic dust collector 21 includes a cyclone body 55, and a dust-collection receptacle 25 removably attached to the cyclone body. The handle tube body 30 comprises a first flow conduit 39 and a second flow conduit 41, the first and second flow conduits being located respectively in an upper part and a lower part thereof with reference to a block wall 53 provided in the handle tube body.
The first flow conduit 39 is provided with an air inlet 35 communicating with the nozzle unit 10 at the front of the handle tube 7, and a suction port 37 connected to one side of the cyclonic dust collector 21 at the rear of the handle tube.
The second flow conduit 41 is provided with an air outlet 47 communicating with the flexible hose 9 at the rear of the handle tube 7, and a discharge port 43 is connected to the cyclonic dust collector 21 at the front of the handle tube. s
The second flow conduit 41 is formed with two bends so that a space 65 is formed below the handle tube 7 and the cyclonic dust-collector 21 to allow a user to grip the handle tube with ease. The second flow conduit 41 is also backwardly spaced from the dust-collection receptacle 25, so that the dust-collection receptacle can be removably attached to the body 55 of the receptacle. The distance 'd' between the rear end of the dust- collection receptacle 25 and the second flow conduit 41 is such that the dust-collection receptacle can be easily attached to, or detached from, the handle tube 7.
A knurling may be formed on the outer surface of the hand grip 60 so that the user can securely hold the handle tube 7 without having the handle tube slip. Alternatively, a series of folds or ridges (of various shapes) may be partially formed on the outer surface of the hand grip 60.
The cyclone body 55 comprises a suction port 37 for drawing in dustcarrying air, which is caused to swirl inside the cyclonic duct collector 21. The cyclone body 55 also has a discharge port 43 for discharging air after dust has been centrifugally separated.
A dust-separation grille 70 is attached to the discharge port 43, and is formed with a plurality of fine holes 44.
The cyclone body 55 is generally cylindrical to correspond to the shape of the dust-collection receptacle 25. The grille 70 is also cylindrical, the fine holes 44 being formed in its circumference, and an opening 45 is formed in an end of the grille. The opening 45 serves to discharge air flowing into the grille 70 through the fine holes 44.
A dust backflow prevention member 50 extends from the grille 70 towards the bottom of the dust-collection receptacle 25.
When the motor of the cleaner is powered, dust-carrying air is sucked in through the air inlet formed in the nozzle unit 10 by the suction force generated by the motor.
Thereafter, air flows into the inside of the cyclonic dust collector 21 via the extension tube 8 connected to the nozzle unit 10.
Air flows into the inside of the cyclonic dust collector 21 obliquely through the suction port 37 formed in the cyclone body 55. The dustcarrying air thus forms a whirling air stream and starts to move towards the closed end of the cyclonic dust collector 21.
During this process, large dust particles or paper scraps contained in the air are separated therefrom by centrifugal force. The separated dust descends along the inner wall of the dust-collection receptacle 25 of the cyclonic dust collector 21, and is collected in the lower part of the receptacle. The processes for entraining and collecting dust performed in the dust-collection chamber (not shown) in the cleaner body 3 are similar to those performed in the conventional vacuum cleaner 1.
Although the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3 refers to a handle tube 7 provided with a cyclonic dust collector 21, and to a vacuum cleaner equipped with the handle tube, it would also be possible for the handle tube to be provided without a cyclonic dust collector, and to provide a vacuum cleaner with such a handle tube.
It will be apparent that the embodiment described above does not need a separate hand grip for the handle tube, so that it is possible to use a simple and lightweight handle tube. Consequently, the vacuum cleaner is easy to use.
Moreover, the route for transferring the suction driving force from the motor in the cleaner body can be reduced, thereby enhancing the dust collecting capability of the vacuum cleaner.
