First embodiment

As shown in FIG. 1, in the dust collector 100 according to the present invention, the air a introduced through the suction pipe 112 passes through a filter 130 having a predetermined length installed in the body 110 to the exhaust pipe 114. And, the various sizes of the b b is collected in the sewage bin 150 detachably installed under the body 110 by going straight inside the filter 130.

In this dust collecting apparatus 100, the moving paths of the air a and the dirt b will be described in more detail as follows.

First, the air a is introduced through the suction pipe 112 by the suction force of the suction motor (not shown) installed in the exhaust pipe 114, and then the cylindrical filter 130 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the suction pipe 112 Is pulled in. Since the air a introduced into the filter 130 has no mass, it passes through the filter 130 and is exhausted to the exhaust pipe 114.

Next, the dirt b is introduced into the filter 130 through the suction pipe 112 similarly to the air, and has a predetermined mass, so that the dirt b flows straight into the filter 130 by the acceleration force introduced therein, and is installed under the body 110. Through 116 is collected in the waste collection bin (150). Here, reference numeral 180 denotes various wastes collected in the waste collection box 150.

Here, the filter 130 is a cylindrical filter in communication with the suction pipe 112 and the waste discharge port 116, the filter unit is provided on the side. Therefore, the air is exhausted through the filtration unit to the exhaust pipe, and the dirt is discharged straight to the waste outlet.

Moreover, the filter 130 is separable, that is, it can be separated and combined by removing the waste collector 150 if necessary.

In addition, the shape may have a cylindrical as well as a cylindrical corrugation (130 '), a top cut cone 130 ", a top cut cone 130' '' and the like as shown in Figure 1 (Fig. 2a, 2b, and 2c), where the direction of the pleats may be in the form of pleats vertically so that dirt does not adhere to the filter, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the morphology can be various as examples. .

In addition, the charging unit 135 is installed inside the filter 130 to remove fine dust collected in the pleated portion of the filter 130. That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the charged portion 135 is inserted into the filter 130 (here, for the purposes of illustration, pleated longitudinally). The charged portion 135 is an insulator 135a made of an insulator, an outer electrode 135b supported by the insulator 135a and provided in the form of an iron core downward, and an inner side of the outer electrode 135b. It is installed in a plurality of inner electrodes 135c installed in the shape of an iron core downward. Moreover, the charged portion 135 is approximately cylindrical.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, the external electrode 135b is disposed at the pleated portion x of the filter 130 and the internal electrode 135c is the external electrode while the charged portion 135 is inserted into the filter 130. It is arranged inside of 135b. In this state, when the + side of the high pressure generating unit 190 is connected to the outer electrode 135b and the − side is connected to the inner electrode 135c, and a high pressure is applied to the pleated portion x of the filter 130 as shown in FIG. 3C. The collected fine dust is collected by the inner electrode 135c. That is, fine dust gathered in the wrinkle part x is gathered by -electrode (inner electrode).

Subsequently, when the voltage is turned off, fine dust collected in the inner electrode 135c automatically falls and collects vertically to the waste collection box 150 installed under the filter 130.

Preferably, since the charged part 135 also serves as a guard for preventing damage of the filter 130 due to bulky dirt, the charged part 135 is not provided when the charged part 135 is not provided. ), A cylindrical guard (filter protective film) similar in shape may be provided.

As such, the fine dust that may be attached to the filter 130 by the charging unit 135 may be easily processed.

Referring back to FIG. 1, a partial air return pipe 160 connecting the waste collection container 150 and the suction pipe 112 may be installed to smoothly flow the air introduced from the suction pipe 112 (that is, the air). Some feedback tube 160 is to help the flow of air in the closed waste container 150). In addition, the dirt blocking partition 155 is installed in the waste collection box 150 to prevent the dirt from entering the suction pipe 112 along the air partial return pipe 160.

In addition, the waste collection box 150 is provided with a viewable area (for example, glass) 152 on a part of the front surface, so that the state within the collection box 150 can be easily known, and furthermore, the separation of the collection box 150 is easy. The handle 151 is staked out so that it can be.

In this way, since the sucked air is exhausted through the exhaust pipe and the waste is collected in a separate waste collector, there is no need to periodically replace the dust bag as in the prior art.

Second embodiment

A dust collecting apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

As shown in the figure, it is the same as the first embodiment except that two exhaust pipes 214a and 214b are provided to facilitate the flow of air.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the exhaust pipes shown in the first and second embodiments may, for example, be provided with a different number of exhaust pipes.

Vacuum cleaner

Hereinafter, a vacuum cleaner using a dust collecting device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the air a ″ sucked into the suction pipe 512 by the suction motor 350 installed in the upper case 300 passes through the filter 530 through the exhaust pipe 514 and the external exhaust pipe 320. The waste b " having a predetermined mass is further advanced in the filter 530 by the acceleration force introduced into the suction pipe 512. The waste collector installed at the bottom of the lower case 600 through the waste discharge port 516. Gather at 550.

Preferably, a portion of the air return feedback hole 560 is installed in the suction pipe 512 to help the air flow in the sealed cleaner 1000.

In addition, the vacuum cleaner 1000 is further provided with an absorption tube 700 capable of absorbing water, and when a predetermined object has moisture (for example, when water or beverage is on the carpet), Water may be absorbed into the cleaner 1000. That is, as shown in FIG. 5B, the cap 720 (see FIG. 5A) that has been covered by the absorption tube 700 is put on the suction tube 512 (that is, the absorption tube 700 is opened and the suction tube 512 is closed). When the motor 350 installed in the upper case 300 is operated, moisture c is introduced into the cleaner 1000 while rotating along the inner wall of the lower case 600 (however, the suction pipe 512 and the absorption pipe 700). ) Have the same aperture to alternately replace the cap 720, but differed in size for explanation in FIGS. 5a and 5b).

Preferably, the absorption tube 700 is rotated along the inner side of the lower case 600, the end portion of the water can be bent in a predetermined angle so that the water can be stored in the waste collection box 550. At this time, the light air a "is discharged to the exhaust pipe 514 through the filter 530.

Here, although the dust collector 500 is horizontally arranged, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the dust collector 500 may be vertically arranged.

As described above, according to the present invention, the sucked air is exhausted to the exhaust pipe and the waste is collected in a separate waste collection, so that the waste can be easily treated and the weakening of the suction force by the soil can be prevented.

In addition, by installing an absorption tube through which the water can be introduced into the vacuum cleaner, the moisture of the dirt can be easily treated.

In addition, the dust collector according to the present invention can be used in a vacuum cleaner for home, industrial, portable and the like.
