FIG.

まず、一次サイクロン分離装置10の基本的な構成について、図11、図14、図15、図16および図18を用いて説明する。
一次サイクロン分離装置10は、外部からの含塵空気が流れ込む一次流入口11と、略円筒形状に形成され、一次流入口11が接線方向に連通し、該一次流入口11から流れ込んだ含塵空気を旋回させて空気と塵埃を分離する一次旋回室12と、該一次旋回室12内の含塵空気から分離した空気を排出する一次排出口15を備えている。
また、二次サイクロン分離装置20の二次流入口21と一次排出口15とを連通する一次排出管16を備え、さらに、一次旋回室12の軸方向に開口する一次開口部13と、該一次開口部13により一次旋回室12と連通する一次集塵室14と、一次旋回室12の半径方向に開口する0次開口部113と、該0次開口部113により一次旋回室12と連通する0次集塵室114とを備えている。
First, the basic configuration of the primary cyclone separating apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11, 14, 15, 16, and 18.
The primary cyclone separator 10 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a primary inlet 11 into which dust-containing air from the outside flows, and the primary inlet 11 communicates in a tangential direction, and the dust-containing air that has flowed in from the primary inlet 11. Is provided with a primary swirl chamber 12 that separates air and dust, and a primary discharge port 15 that discharges air separated from the dust-containing air in the primary swirl chamber 12.
The primary cyclone separator 20 includes a primary discharge pipe 16 that communicates with the secondary inlet 21 and the primary discharge port 15, and further includes a primary opening 13 that opens in the axial direction of the primary swirl chamber 12, and the primary A primary dust collection chamber 14 that communicates with the primary swirl chamber 12 through the opening 13, a zero-order opening 113 that opens in the radial direction of the primary swirl chamber 12, and 0 that communicates with the primary swirl chamber 12 through the zero-order opening 113. And a next dust collection chamber 114.

0次開口部113は、図18の0次開口部113の拡大平面図に示すように、一次旋回室12内の旋回方向下流側の開口縁113a(以下、旋回下流側開口縁とする)の少なくとも一部を、旋回方向に凹むように丸みを帯びた形状としている。   As shown in the enlarged plan view of the zero-order opening 113 in FIG. 18, the zero-order opening 113 is an opening edge 113 a on the downstream side in the turning direction in the primary turning chamber 12 (hereinafter referred to as a turning downstream-side opening edge). At least a part has a rounded shape so as to be recessed in the turning direction.

上記の構成において、一次流入口11から一次旋回室12に流入したごみの大半(以降、ごみaと呼ぶ)は、ごみaに作用する遠心力により、図15中のごみ軌道aのように、一次旋回室12内の旋回気流から分離されて0次開口部113を通過して0次集塵室114に捕集される。
しかしながら、一部のごみ(以降、ごみbと呼ぶ)は、図15中のごみ軌道bのように、一次旋回室12内の旋回気流から遠心分離はされるものの、0次開口部113を通過できずに、旋回下流側開口縁に衝突してしまう。この際、上述したように一次旋回室12内の旋回下流側開口縁113aの少なくとも一部を旋回方向に凹むような丸みを帯びた形状に構成すれば、図18中の矢印で示すように、ごみbが旋回下流側開口縁113a上を滑るように移動し、その移動の途中で旋回下流側開口縁113aへの引っかかりが外れが出てが解消され、効率良く0次集塵室114に捕集することができる。
In the above configuration, most of the dust flowing into the primary swirl chamber 12 from the primary inlet 11 (hereinafter referred to as garbage a) is caused by centrifugal force acting on the garbage a as in the garbage trajectory a in FIG. It is separated from the swirling airflow in the primary swirl chamber 12, passes through the zeroth opening 113, and is collected in the zeroth dust collection chamber 114.
However, some garbage (hereinafter referred to as garbage b) passes through the zeroth-order opening 113 although it is centrifuged from the swirling airflow in the primary swirl chamber 12 as the garbage trajectory b in FIG. It cannot collide with the opening edge of the turning downstream side. At this time, as described above, if at least a part of the swivel downstream opening edge 113a in the primary swirl chamber 12 is formed in a rounded shape that is recessed in the swirl direction, as shown by the arrow in FIG. The dust b moves so as to slide on the swiveling downstream opening edge 113a, and the trapping on the swiveling downstream opening edge 113a is eliminated in the middle of the movement. Can be collected.

逆に、図19に示すように、旋回下流側開口縁113aを屈曲させて構成した場合には、該屈曲位置にごみbが引っかかってしまう。また、図20に示すように、旋回下流側開口縁113aを直線的に構成した場合にも、該直線部の端部にごみbが引っかかってしまうことがある。このように、旋回下流側開口縁113aにごみbが引っかかってしまうと、その引っかかったごみbを起点に、のちに一次流入口11から一次旋回室12に流入したごみbも旋回下流側開口縁113a付近に蓄積するため、ごみaまでも旋回下流側開口縁113aに引っかかってしまうことになる。
したがって、上述したように一次旋回室12内の旋回下流側開口縁113aの少なくとも一部を旋回方向に凹むような丸みを帯びた形状に構成して、ごみbの旋回下流側開口縁113aへの引っかかりを抑制すれば、ごみ全般を効率良く0次集塵室114に捕集することができる。
Conversely, as shown in FIG. 19, when the turning downstream side opening edge 113a is bent, dust b is caught at the bent position. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, even when the turning downstream side opening edge 113a is configured linearly, the garbage b may be caught at the end of the linear portion. In this way, when the garbage b is caught on the swivel downstream opening edge 113a, the garbage b that has flowed into the primary swirl chamber 12 from the primary inflow port 11 later on is also the swiveling downstream opening edge. Since it accumulates in the vicinity of 113a, even garbage a will be caught by the turning downstream side opening edge 113a.
Therefore, as described above, at least a part of the swivel downstream opening edge 113a in the primary swirl chamber 12 is configured to have a rounded shape that is recessed in the swirl direction, so that the waste b is directed to the swirl downstream opening edge 113a. If the catching is suppressed, the entire garbage can be efficiently collected in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114.

さらに、図13に示すように、一次排出口15は一次旋回室12の中心軸方向に突出させて形成されており、その一次排出口15の少なくとも一部の軸方向における高さ位置を、一次流入口11の下端部よりも低い位置に配置している。このように構成することで、一次流入口11から流入する含塵空気は中心軸方向の速度を持ちながら旋回するようになり、含塵空気からごみを効率的に分離することができる。このような構成とした場合の0次開口部113の形状は、0次開口部113の旋回下流側開口縁に溜まるごみbを捕集するために、上述した図18の原理と同様に、旋回下流側開口縁の少なくとも一部を一次旋回室12内の旋回気流の旋回方向に凹むような丸みを帯びた形状に構成すれば良い。つまり、図21の矢印のような方向の旋回気流が発生するため、0次開口部113の旋回下流側開口縁113aは
図21に示すような形状とすれば良く、その結果、ごみbが旋回下流側開口縁113a上を滑るように移動し、その移動の途中で旋回下流側開口縁113aへの引っかかりが外れて0次集塵室114に捕集することができる。
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, the primary discharge port 15 is formed so as to protrude in the central axis direction of the primary swirl chamber 12, and the height position in the axial direction of at least a part of the primary discharge port 15 is set as the primary discharge port 15. It arrange | positions in the position lower than the lower end part of the inflow port 11. FIG. By comprising in this way, the dust-containing air which flows in from the primary inflow port 11 turns while having the speed of a central axis direction, and can isolate | separate dust from dust-containing air efficiently. The shape of the 0th-order opening 113 in such a configuration is the same as that of the principle of FIG. 18 described above in order to collect the garbage b collected at the turning downstream side opening edge of the 0th-order opening 113. What is necessary is just to comprise at least one part of a downstream opening edge in the rounded shape which dents in the turning direction of the turning airflow in the primary turning chamber 12. FIG. That is, since a swirling airflow in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 21 is generated, the swivel downstream opening edge 113a of the zero-order opening 113 may be shaped as shown in FIG. It moves so that it may slide on the downstream opening edge 113a, and it is possible to collect in the zero-order dust collecting chamber 114 while being caught on the turning downstream opening edge 113a in the middle of the movement.

上記の構成とすることにより、上述の説明と同様の原理で、軸方向(図21の矢印のような方向)の速度を持ったごみbに対しても、0次開口部113の開口縁への引っかかりが抑制され、より効率良く0次集塵室114に捕集することができる。 By adopting the above-described configuration, on the basis of the same principle as described above, the waste b having the speed in the axial direction (direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 21) can be moved to the opening edge of the zero-order opening 113. Is suppressed, and can be collected in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 more efficiently.

また、0次開口部113の配置を、図15に示すように、0次開口部113の開口面の中心点を、0次集塵室114の中心軸と一次旋回室12の中心軸とを結んだ平面に対して吸気の旋回方向上流側に配置するようにしてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the arrangement of the zero-order opening 113 is set so that the center point of the opening surface of the zero-order opening 113 is the center axis of the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 and the center axis of the primary swirl chamber 12. You may make it arrange | position to the turning direction upstream of intake with respect to the connected plane.

このような構成とすることにより、0次集塵室114に流入した気流の一部が、図15中の集塵室内気流方向Aのように流れるため、該気流Aが一次旋回室12に戻る際に、0次開口部113の旋回下流側開口縁に引っかかりかけたごみbを旋回下流側開口縁から引き剥がすことが可能となる。このため、ごみbの旋回下流側開口縁への引っかかりを抑制することができ、効率良く0次集塵室114に捕集することができる。
逆に、図22に示すように、0次開口部113の開口面の中心点を、0次集塵室114の中心軸と一次旋回室12の中心軸とを結んだ平面に対して吸気の旋回方向下流側に配置した場合、0次集塵室114に流入した気流の一部は、図22中の集塵室内気流方向Bのように流れるため、該気流Bが一次旋回室12に戻る際に、旋回下流側開口縁に引っかかりかけたごみbをさらに旋回下流側開口縁に押し付けてしまう。
With this configuration, a part of the airflow that has flowed into the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 flows in the dust collection chamber airflow direction A in FIG. 15, so that the airflow A returns to the primary swirl chamber 12. At this time, the waste b caught on the turning downstream opening edge of the zero-order opening 113 can be peeled off from the turning downstream opening edge. For this reason, the garbage b can be prevented from being caught on the turning downstream side opening edge, and can be efficiently collected in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114.
Conversely, as shown in FIG. 22, the center point of the opening surface of the zero-order opening 113 is set to the plane where the central axis of the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 and the central axis of the primary swirl chamber 12 are connected. When arranged on the downstream side in the swirl direction, part of the airflow that has flowed into the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 flows in the dust collection chamber airflow direction B in FIG. 22, so that the airflow B returns to the primary swirl chamber 12. At that time, the waste b caught on the turning downstream opening edge is further pressed against the turning downstream opening edge.

また、図13に示すように、一次排出口15を一次旋回室12内に突出させた一次排出管16の側壁に設けた孔によって構成するとともに、一次排出管16の少なくとも一部を略円錐形状の円錐体16aによって形成し、該円錐体16aの略円錐形状面の少なくとも一部の軸方向における高さ位置が、0次開口部113の軸方向における開口範囲内になるように配置されるように構成してもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the primary discharge port 15 is constituted by a hole provided in the side wall of the primary discharge pipe 16 protruding into the primary swirl chamber 12, and at least a part of the primary discharge pipe 16 is substantially conical. The at least part of the substantially conical surface of the cone 16a is arranged such that the height position in the axial direction is within the opening range in the axial direction of the zero-order opening 113. You may comprise.

このように、一次旋回室12内に突出させて側壁に孔を設けることで、一次旋回室12内の軸方向の吸込み力を抑制してごみに作用する旋回力を大きくするとともに、円錐体16aの円錐形状面を構成したことにより0次開口部113と一次排出口15との距離が確保できるため、0次開口部113を介して0次集塵室114に分離するごみに対する一次排出口15からの吸引力を抑制し、0次集塵室114で確実に捕集することができる。
また、本実施の形態に示すような反転式の一次サイクロン分離装置10において、一次排出管16は一次旋回室12の上部から突出する構成となるが、上述したように一次旋回室12内ではごみに対する一次排出口15からの吸引力が抑制されるため、0次開口部113を一次排出口15に近づけることができ、その結果、0次開口部113を一次旋回室12の上方に設けることができるため、0次集塵室114の深さを深くする、つまり0次開口部113から0次集塵室114の底部までの距離を長くとることができ、0次集塵室114全体の大きさを大型化せずに、0次集塵室114内のごみの再飛散を抑制することができ、捕集性能を高めることができる。また、円錐体16aが略円錐形状であるために、髪の毛等の長い糸状のごみが一次排出管16に巻きついた際に、該ごみを円錐の先端方向に沿って動かすことにより容易に除去できるという利点もある。
In this way, by projecting into the primary swirl chamber 12 and providing a hole in the side wall, the suction force in the axial direction in the primary swirl chamber 12 is suppressed to increase the swirl force acting on the dust, and the cone 16a. Since the distance between the zero-order opening 113 and the primary discharge port 15 can be secured by configuring the conical surface, the primary discharge port 15 for the dust separated into the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 via the zero-order opening 113. Therefore, the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can reliably collect the suction force.
In the reversible primary cyclone separating apparatus 10 as shown in the present embodiment, the primary discharge pipe 16 protrudes from the upper part of the primary swirl chamber 12. Therefore, the zero-order opening 113 can be brought close to the primary discharge port 15, and as a result, the zero-order opening 113 can be provided above the primary swirl chamber 12. Therefore, the depth of the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can be increased, that is, the distance from the zero-order opening 113 to the bottom of the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can be increased, and the size of the entire zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can be increased. Without increasing the size, re-scattering of dust in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can be suppressed, and the collection performance can be improved. Further, since the cone 16a has a substantially conical shape, when a long thread-like dust such as hair is wound around the primary discharge pipe 16, it can be easily removed by moving the dust along the tip of the cone. There is also an advantage.

また、図11に示すように、一次排出口15を一次旋回室12内に突出させた一次排出管16の側壁に設けた孔によって構成し、該孔は0次開口部113付近の一部を除いた部位に設けるようにしてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the primary discharge port 15 is configured by a hole provided in the side wall of the primary discharge pipe 16 protruding into the primary swirl chamber 12, and the hole forms a part near the zero-order opening 113. You may make it provide in the site | part excluded.

上記の構成とすることにより、一次旋回室12内の軸方向の吸引力を抑制してごみの作用する旋回力を大きくさせつつも、0次開口部113を介して0次集塵室114に分離するごみに対する一次排出口15からの吸引力が抑制されるため、ごみを確実に0次集塵室114に捕集することが可能となる。   With the above configuration, while the axial suction force in the primary swirl chamber 12 is suppressed to increase the swirl force on which dust acts, the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 is connected via the zero-order opening 113. Since the suction force from the primary discharge port 15 for the separated dust is suppressed, the dust can be reliably collected in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114.

さらにまた、図17に示すように、一次排出口15を一次旋回室12内に突出させた一次排出管16に設けた孔によって構成し、一次排出管16は、一次旋回室12の軸方向に引き出された後、略直角に曲がる屈曲部16cを有した構成とし、図16に示す屈曲部16cの排出方向を、図23に示すように0次開口部113の中央点と一次旋回室12の軸を結ぶ平面に対して両側45°の範囲内に配置されるように構成するようにしてもよい。   Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, the primary discharge port 15 is configured by a hole provided in the primary discharge pipe 16 protruding into the primary swirl chamber 12, and the primary discharge pipe 16 is arranged in the axial direction of the primary swirl chamber 12. After being pulled out, it is configured to have a bent portion 16c that bends substantially at a right angle, and the discharge direction of the bent portion 16c shown in FIG. 16 is set so that the center point of the zero-order opening 113 and the primary swirl chamber 12 of FIG. You may make it comprise so that it may arrange | position within the range of 45 degrees on both sides with respect to the plane which connects an axis | shaft.

このように屈曲させて構成した一次排出管16内の空気の流れについて説明する。図17に示すように、一次排出管16内の風路はほぼ垂直に曲がっており(以下曲がり風路という)、該曲がり風路の内側に位置する空気流(破線)は曲がり半径が比較的小さく、抵抗損を受ける。一方、曲がり風路の外側に位置する空気流(実線)は曲がり半径が比較的大きいため、空気の流れがスムーズで抵抗損を受けず、一次旋回室12から吸い込む空気流の速度が比較的速く、その力は強い。結果、一次次排出口15の流速の分布、すなわち吸引力の分布に強弱が生じる。
従って、上述した一次排出管16の曲げ方向と0次開口部113の位置関係(0次開口部113の中央点と一次旋回室12の軸を結ぶ平面に対して両側45°の範囲内)、つまり0次開口部113の方向に曲げるようにすれば、一次排出口15の流速分布の弱い部分が0次開口部113付近に配置されることになり、かつ吸引力の強い部分が0次開口部113付近に配置されないため、0次集塵室114に分離するごみへの一次排出口15からの吸い込み力を抑制して、分離性能を向上させることができる。
The flow of air in the primary discharge pipe 16 configured to be bent in this way will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the air passage in the primary discharge pipe 16 is bent substantially vertically (hereinafter referred to as a bent air passage), and the air flow (broken line) located inside the bent air passage has a relatively large bending radius. Small and suffers resistance loss. On the other hand, since the air flow (solid line) located outside the curved wind path has a relatively large radius, the air flow is smooth and does not suffer from resistance loss, and the speed of the air flow sucked from the primary swirl chamber 12 is relatively high. The power is strong. As a result, the distribution of the flow velocity of the primary discharge port 15, that is, the distribution of the suction force, varies.
Therefore, the positional relationship between the bending direction of the primary discharge pipe 16 and the zero-order opening 113 (within a range of 45 ° on both sides with respect to the plane connecting the center point of the zero-order opening 113 and the axis of the primary swirl chamber 12), In other words, if it is bent in the direction of the 0th-order opening 113, the portion where the flow velocity distribution of the primary discharge port 15 is weak is arranged near the 0th-order opening 113, and the portion with a strong suction force is the 0th-order opening. Since it is not arranged near the portion 113, the suction force from the primary discharge port 15 to the dust separated into the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 can be suppressed, and the separation performance can be improved.

なお、上述したような効果を得るには、一次排出口15において流速分布に強弱を発生させればよいので、上記の構造に限られるものではなく、一次排出管16の屈曲部16cの曲げ角度は略直角以外であってもよい。 In order to obtain the above-described effects, the flow velocity distribution only has to be generated at the primary discharge port 15, so that the present invention is not limited to the above structure, and the bending angle of the bent portion 16 c of the primary discharge pipe 16 is not limited. May be other than a substantially right angle.

また、図13に示すように、一次排出管16において、一次流入口11付近(破線で囲んだ部分A)の一部を除いた領域に一次排出口15を形成してもよい。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, in the primary discharge pipe 16, you may form the primary discharge port 15 in the area | region except the primary inflow port 11 vicinity (part A enclosed with the broken line).

上記の構成とすることにより、一次流入口11から流入した吸気が一次排出口15に直接吸い込まれることを抑制し、より一層一次旋回室12内の旋回方向への流れを強めることができてごみに作用する遠心力を高め、捕集性能を更に向上することができる。 By adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to suppress the intake air flowing in from the primary inlet 11 from being directly sucked into the primary outlet 15, and to further increase the flow in the swirling direction in the primary swirl chamber 12. It is possible to increase the centrifugal force acting on the water and further improve the collection performance.

また、図13に示すように、一次排出管16の側壁の一部を、円錐体16a多数の微細孔を持つ略円筒形状の円筒体165bで構成してもよい。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, you may comprise a part of side wall of the primary discharge pipe 16 with the cylindrical body 165b of the substantially cylindrical shape which has many fine holes of the cone 16a.

一次排出管16を上記のような構成とすることにより、一次流入口11から入った気流がスムーズに一次旋回室12内を旋回することができるため、ごみに作用する遠心力が高まり捕集性能を向上することができる。   By configuring the primary discharge pipe 16 as described above, since the airflow entering from the primary inlet 11 can smoothly swirl in the primary swirl chamber 12, the centrifugal force acting on the dust increases and the collection performance. Can be improved.

また、図13に示すように、一次流入口11の一次旋回室12の旋回軸方向における高さ範囲を円筒体16bの軸方向における高さ範囲内とし、且つ円錐体16aの軸方向における高さ位置が、前記0次開口部113の軸方向における開口範囲外となるように配置してもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the height range in the swirl axis direction of the primary swirl chamber 12 of the primary inlet 11 is within the height range in the axial direction of the cylindrical body 16b, and the height in the axial direction of the cone body 16a. You may arrange | position so that a position may become out of the opening range in the axial direction of the said 0th-order opening part 113. FIG.

上記の構成とすることにより、0次開口部113の一次旋回室12の旋回軸方向における開口範囲には円錐体165aが配置されることになりるため、より確実に0次開口部113と排出口体15の側壁の微細孔との距離を確保することができるため、0次ダストケース114に飛ばすごみに対する排出口体15の微細孔からの吸引力が抑制されごみの捕集性を高めることができる。 With the above configuration, the cone 165a is disposed in the opening range in the swirl axis direction of the primary swirl chamber 12 of the zero-order opening 113, so that the zero-order opening 113 and the exhaust can be more reliably removed. Since the distance from the fine hole on the side wall of the outlet body 15 can be secured, the suction force from the fine hole of the discharge port body 15 to the dust flying to the zero-order dust case 114 is suppressed, and the dust collecting property is improved. Can do.

また、図13に示すように、一次サイクロン分離装置10に、一次旋回室12の下部を開口した一次開口部13と、前記一次開口部13の下方に配置された一次集塵室14とを備えてもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the primary cyclone separator 10 includes a primary opening 13 that opens the lower part of the primary swirl chamber 12, and a primary dust collection chamber 14 that is disposed below the primary opening 13. May be.

上記の構成とすることにより、0次集塵室114では捕集しきれないごみを一次集塵室14により捕集することができる。さらに、一次排出口15を上述した円錐体16aを備えた形状とすれば、一次旋回室12の下方まで旋回しながら到達した気流が反転して一次旋回室12の中央を上昇する流れ(以下、上昇気流と呼ぶ)を円錐体16aによりスムーズに取り入れることができ、旋回気流を乱すことなくごみの捕集性能を向上することができる。また、円錐体16aの側壁面に一次排出口15を設けたことで、上昇気流がわずかに水平方向に拡がるため、一次集塵室14で捕集された後に何らかの理由で再飛散してしまったごみは、水平方向に広がった上昇気流と旋回流の影響を受け、旋回しながら上昇する力を受ける。したがって、再飛散したごみは一次旋回室12内を旋回しながら上昇していくため、0次集塵室114に捕捉することが可能となる。   By adopting the above-described configuration, the primary dust collection chamber 14 can collect garbage that cannot be collected in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114. Furthermore, if the primary discharge port 15 has the shape including the cone 16a described above, the air flow that reaches while turning to the lower side of the primary swirl chamber 12 reverses and flows upward in the center of the primary swirl chamber 12 (hereinafter referred to as the following). (Referred to as an updraft) can be smoothly taken in by the cone 16a, and the dust collection performance can be improved without disturbing the swirling airflow. In addition, since the primary discharge port 15 is provided on the side wall surface of the cone 16a, the rising air current slightly expands in the horizontal direction, and therefore has been re-scattered for some reason after being collected in the primary dust collection chamber 14. Garbage is affected by the rising air current and the swirling flow spread in the horizontal direction, and receives the force that rises while swirling. Therefore, the re-scattered garbage rises while swirling in the primary swirl chamber 12 and can be captured in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114.

また、図13に示すように、0次開口部113を一次開口部13と一次排出口15との間に設けるようにしてもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a zero-order opening 113 may be provided between the primary opening 13 and the primary outlet 15.

上記の構成とすることにより、一次集塵室14から再飛散したごみを、一次排出口15付近に向かって上昇する途中で0次集塵室114に捕捉することが可能となる。   By adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to capture the dust that has re-scattered from the primary dust collection chamber 14 in the zero-order dust collection chamber 114 in the middle of rising toward the vicinity of the primary discharge port 15.

また、図13に示すように、一次旋回室12の側壁を、略円筒形状の一次円筒部12bと、先端に近づくほど径が小さくなる略円錐の先端を切り落とした形状の一次円錐部12aとで構成してもよい。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, the side wall of the primary swirl chamber 12 is divided into a substantially cylindrical primary cylindrical portion 12b and a primary conical portion 12a having a shape in which the tip of a substantially cone whose diameter decreases as it approaches the tip. It may be configured.

上記の構成とすることにより、ごみが自身の慣性力及び遠心力によって一次旋回室12の内壁に沿って旋回しながら一次旋回室12の下方まで至る際に、壁面摩擦や空気抵抗によってその旋回速度は減少していくが、一次円錐部12aの略円錐形状の壁面により旋回半径を縮小していくことで、旋回速度の二乗に比例し旋回半径に反比例する遠心力を保つことができるため、効率よく一次集塵室14にごみを捕集することができる。さらには、一次集塵室14へ流入する空気の量を抑え、一次集塵室14に到達したごみの再飛散を抑制する効果がある。   With the above configuration, when the dust reaches the lower side of the primary swirl chamber 12 while swirling along the inner wall of the primary swirl chamber 12 by its own inertial force and centrifugal force, its swirl speed is caused by wall friction and air resistance. However, since the turning radius is reduced by the substantially conical wall surface of the primary cone portion 12a, the centrifugal force proportional to the square of the turning speed and inversely proportional to the turning radius can be maintained. It is possible to collect garbage in the primary dust collection chamber 14 well. Furthermore, there is an effect that the amount of air flowing into the primary dust collection chamber 14 is suppressed and the re-scattering of the dust that has reached the primary dust collection chamber 14 is suppressed.

また、図13に示すように、一次旋回室12の中央軸に対する一次円錐部12aの傾斜角度を、一次旋回室12の中央軸に対する円錐体15aの傾斜角度とほぼ同等かそれ以下としてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 13, the inclination angle of the primary cone portion 12 a with respect to the central axis of the primary swirl chamber 12 may be substantially equal to or less than the inclination angle of the cone body 15 a with respect to the central axis of the primary swirl chamber 12.

上記の構成とすることにより、一次旋回室12における旋回風路(一次排出管16を除く風路)の風路断面積を、一次円錐部12aにおいて縮小させないようにしたことで、圧力損失を抑制するとともに、一次旋回室12中央の上昇流の風路がを確保されるためし、旋回流と上昇気流との干渉を防止することができ、捕集性能を向上することができる。また、一次円錐部12aの壁面と円錐体15aとの間の距離が確保されるため、一次円錐部12aの内壁面に沿って旋回するごみが円錐体15aから吸い込まれるのを抑制することができる。   By adopting the above-described configuration, the pressure loss is suppressed by preventing the air passage cross-sectional area of the swirling air passage (the air passage excluding the primary discharge pipe 16) in the primary swirling chamber 12 from being reduced in the primary conical portion 12a. At the same time, an air flow path for the upward flow in the center of the primary swirl chamber 12 is secured, so that interference between the swirl flow and the updraft can be prevented, and the collection performance can be improved. Moreover, since the distance between the wall surface of the primary cone part 12a and the cone 15a is ensured, it can suppress that the dust which turns along the inner wall surface of the primary cone part 12a is sucked from the cone 15a. .

次に、二次サイクロン分離装置20の構成について図10、図12、図16、を用いて説明する。二次サイクロン分離装置20は、一次排出管16から含塵空気を取り込む二次流入口21と、二次流入口21をおおよそ接線方向に接続することで二次流入口21から導入した含塵空気が旋回する二次旋回室22とを備え、二次流入口21から流入した吸気を旋回して塵埃を分離した後に該吸気を二次排出口25から排出する。また、この二次排出口25からの排気を、排気風路51へと導く二次排出管26を備えている。
また、二次排出管26は、二次旋回室22とその軸を略一致させて、二次旋回室22内に突出させて、その下端部に二次排出口25を備えて構成されている。
また、二次旋回室22は、その側壁が、略円筒形状の円筒部22bと、略円錐形状の円錐部22aとで構成されている。また、円錐部22aの一部が開口して形成された二次開口部23と、二次開口部23を介して二次旋回室22と連通する二次集塵室24とを備えている。
Next, the configuration of the secondary cyclone separator 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10, 12, and 16. The secondary cyclone separator 20 includes a secondary inlet 21 that takes in dust-containing air from the primary discharge pipe 16 and a dust-in air introduced from the secondary inlet 21 by connecting the secondary inlet 21 in a substantially tangential direction. And a secondary swirl chamber 22 that swirls, and after swirling the intake air flowing in from the secondary inlet 21 to separate the dust, the intake air is discharged from the secondary discharge port 25. Further, a secondary discharge pipe 26 that guides the exhaust from the secondary discharge port 25 to the exhaust air passage 51 is provided.
Further, the secondary discharge pipe 26 is configured to have the secondary swirl chamber 22 and the axis thereof substantially coincide with each other, protrude into the secondary swirl chamber 22, and include a secondary discharge port 25 at the lower end thereof. .
The side wall of the secondary swirl chamber 22 includes a substantially cylindrical cylindrical portion 22b and a substantially conical cone portion 22a. In addition, a secondary opening 23 formed by opening a part of the conical portion 22 a and a secondary dust collecting chamber 24 communicating with the secondary swirl chamber 22 through the secondary opening 23 are provided.

二次サイクロン分離装置20の動作についてその概要を説明する。二次サイクロン分離装置20は、一次サイクロン分離装置10で捕集できなかったごみを含む含塵空気を一次排出管16を介して二次流入口21から取り込む。該含塵空気は、二次旋回室22の側壁に沿ってほぼ水平に流入するため旋回気流となり、中心軸近傍の強制渦領域とその外周側の準自由渦領域とを形成しながら、その経路構造と重力とにより下向きに流れていく。このとき、遠心力がごみに作用するため、一次サイクロン分離装置10では捕捉しきれなかったごみが二次旋回室22の内壁に押し付けられて吸気から分離され、下降する旋回流に乗って二次旋回室22の下方に進んだ後、二次開口部23を介して二次集塵室24内に捕集される。ごみが除去された空気は、二次旋回室22の中心軸に沿って上昇し、二次排出口25から排出される。二次排出口25から排出された空気は、二次排出管26を通って、排気風路51へと導かれる。 An outline of the operation of the secondary cyclone separator 20 will be described. The secondary cyclone separator 20 takes in dust-containing air containing dust that could not be collected by the primary cyclone separator 10 from the secondary inlet 21 via the primary discharge pipe 16. Since the dust-containing air flows almost horizontally along the side wall of the secondary swirl chamber 22, it becomes a swirling airflow, and forms a forced vortex region near the central axis and a quasi-free vortex region on the outer peripheral side thereof. It flows downward due to the structure and gravity. At this time, since the centrifugal force acts on the dust, the dust that could not be captured by the primary cyclone separation device 10 is pressed against the inner wall of the secondary swirl chamber 22 and separated from the intake air, and then rides on the descending swirl flow to the secondary After proceeding below the swirl chamber 22, it is collected in the secondary dust collection chamber 24 through the secondary opening 23. The air from which the dust has been removed rises along the central axis of the secondary swirl chamber 22 and is discharged from the secondary discharge port 25. The air discharged from the secondary discharge port 25 is guided to the exhaust air passage 51 through the secondary discharge pipe 26.

また、本実施の形態に示したように、電気掃除機100に一次サイクロン分離装置10および二次サイクロン分離装置20を搭載することにより、含塵空気からごみ塵を確実に分離することが可能となる。したがって、風路内にフィルターを使わないもしくは風路内のフィルターの数を削減することができるため、フィルターの目詰まりによる風量低下の起こりにくい電気掃除機100を提供することが可能となる。なお、上記の効果は、電気掃除機100に一次サイクロン分離装置10に相当するサイクロン装置のみの搭載でも、二次サイクロン分離装置20に相当するサイクロン装置のみの搭載であっても得ることができる。   Further, as shown in the present embodiment, by mounting the primary cyclone separator 10 and the secondary cyclone separator 20 on the vacuum cleaner 100, it is possible to reliably separate dust from the dust-containing air. Become. Therefore, since no filter is used in the air passage or the number of filters in the air passage can be reduced, it is possible to provide the electric vacuum cleaner 100 that is less likely to cause a reduction in the air volume due to clogging of the filter. Note that the above effect can be obtained by mounting only the cyclone device corresponding to the primary cyclone separation device 10 on the vacuum cleaner 100 or mounting only the cyclone device corresponding to the secondary cyclone separation device 20.

なお、上述の実施の形態では、二次サイクロン分離装置部20を搭載した電気掃除機で説明しているが、一次サイクロン分離装置部10のみの搭載、あるいは複数のサイクロン分離装置(二次サイクロン分離装置部、三次サイクロン分離装置、…)を設けるものであってもよい。また、本発明はサイクロン集塵装置の構造に関するものであり、電気掃除機の形態は本実施の形態で説明したキャニスタータイプの電気掃除機に限定するものではない。 In the above-described embodiment, a vacuum cleaner equipped with the secondary cyclone separator unit 20 is described. However, only the primary cyclone separator unit 10 is mounted, or a plurality of cyclone separators (secondary cyclone separators) are provided. A device unit, a tertiary cyclone separator,...) May be provided. The present invention also relates to the structure of a cyclone dust collector, and the form of the vacuum cleaner is not limited to the canister type vacuum cleaner described in the present embodiment.

また、上述の実施の形態では、円錐体16a及び円筒体16bの微細孔を、厚みを持った壁面の内部と外部を連通する孔として記述したが、この限りではなく、例えば、枠体にフィルターを貼り付けたメッシュ構造のような構成で微細孔を形成してもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the fine holes of the conical body 16a and the cylindrical body 16b are described as holes that connect the inside and the outside of the thick wall surface. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may form a micropore by the structure like the mesh structure which affixed.
