Definitions
- the invention relates to cyclonic separating apparatus particularly, but not exclusively, for a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the invention relates to cyclonic separating apparatus for a hand-held vacuum cleaner.
- Cyclonic separating apparatus is known from, for example, EP 0 042 723.
- the cyclones comprise a first, low-efficiency cyclone and a second, high-efficiency cyclone downstream of the first cyclone.
- Dirt- and dust-laden air enters through an inlet in the first cyclone and follows a downward helical path around the interior of the first cyclone. Centrifugal forces act on the entrained dirt and dust to separate it from the airflow.
- the dirt and dust collects at the base of the first cyclone.
- the airflow reverses direction.
- the partially-cleaned airflow moves back up the first cyclone and exits the first cyclone through an outlet. It is usual to provide a so-called shroud around the outlet from the first cyclone.
- the shroud comprises a wall with a large number of through-holes through which the airflow passes in order to reach the second cyclone.
- the air then enters the second cyclone and follows a downward helical path inside the second cyclone. Smaller particles are separated from the airflow in a similar fashion to the first cyclone and are deposited in a collector located beneath the second cyclone.
- the cleaned air then flows back up the interior of the second cyclone and passes sequentially through a pre-motor filter, a motor and a post-motor filter before being exhausted from the vacuum cleaner.
- EP 0 728 435 and GB 2 363 744 both show an inwardly-projecting annular collar or rib located around the lower part of the inner surface of such a cyclone.
- these features will help to prevent dirt and dust becoming re-entrained in the partially-cleaned airflow.
- the introduction of elements such as inwardly-projecting ribs or collars on the inner wall of a cyclone may also introduce unwanted effects. For example, these elements may generate turbulence within the cyclone which may disturb the deposited dirt and dust in an undesirable way. Further, the introduction of these elements can reduce the separation efficiency of the cyclone.
- the invention provides cyclonic separating apparatus for separating particles from a dirt- and dust-laden airflow
- a cyclone for separating and collecting dirt and dust from the dirt- and dust-laden airflow
- the cyclone having an air inlet, an air outlet, a longitudinal axis and a wall, the wall comprising a first portion and a second portion spaced further from the longitudinal axis than the first portion, the first and second portions being axially spaced along the longitudinal axis
- the cyclone further comprises at least one lip extending from the first portion of the wall into a portion of the cyclone surrounded by the second portion of the wall.
- the first portion of the cyclone is cylindrical and has a first radius. More preferably, at least a part of the second portion of the cyclone is cylindrical and has a second radius.
- the lip forms a substantially straight extension of the first portion of the wall. This arrangement minimises the protrusion of the lip into the airflow whilst still reducing the risk of re-entrainment of separated dirt and dust within the cyclonic separating apparatus.
- the cyclonic separating apparatus comprises at least one further cyclone and a collector which are located downstream of the air outlet, the at least one further cyclone being arranged to deposit separated dirt and dust into the collector.
- the collector has a longitudinal axis, a wall and at least one further lip extending from the wall of the collector into the collector.
- FIG. 1 shows a hand-held vacuum cleaner incorporating cyclonic separating apparatus according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross section through the cyclonic separating apparatus of the hand-held vacuum cleaner of FIG. 1 taken along a longitudinal axis thereof;
- FIG. 3 is a lateral cross section through the cyclonic separating apparatus of the hand-held vacuum cleaner of FIG. 1 ;
- FIGS. 4 to 11 are schematic diagrams of alternative embodiments of part of the cyclonic separating apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 .
- the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 has a main body 12 which houses a motor and fan unit (not shown).
- the main body 12 also includes a power source 14 such as a battery.
- a handle 16 is provided on the main body 12 for manipulating the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 in use.
- Cyclonic separating apparatus 100 is attached to the main body 12 .
- An inlet pipe 18 extends from a portion of the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 remote from the main body 12 .
- a dirty air inlet 20 is formed at the distal end of the inlet pipe 18 .
- a brush tool 22 is slidably mounted on the distal end of the inlet pipe 18 .
- a set of exhaust vents 24 are provided on the main body 12 for exhausting air from the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 .
- the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 forming part of the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
- the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 comprises a cyclone 102 which has a longitudinal axis X-X and a wall 104 .
- the wall 104 comprises a first portion 106 and a second portion 108 .
- An inlet 110 is formed in the wall 104 and arranged so that the first portion 106 of the wall 104 is located between the inlet 110 and the second portion 108 of the wall 104 .
- the inlet 110 is in communication with the dirty air inlet 20 and forms a communication path between the inlet pipe 18 and the interior of the cyclone 102 .
- the air inlet 110 is arranged tangentially to the cyclone 102 so that the incoming air is forced to follow a helical path around the interior of the cyclone 102 .
- the first portion 106 of the wall 104 is substantially cylindrical and is in two parts. This is so that the parts can be separated to allow cleaning of the interior of the cyclone 102 . However, this is not material to the invention.
- the second portion 108 of the wall 104 is spaced further from the longitudinal axis X-X than the first portion 106 of the wall 104 .
- the second portion 108 of the wall 104 includes a shoulder 112 and a cylindrical part 113 .
- a lip 114 extends from the first portion 106 of the wall 104 into the space surrounded by the second portion 108 of the wall 104 of the cyclone 102 .
- the lip 114 forms a substantially straight extension of the first portion 106 of the wall 104 . The function of the lip 114 will be described later.
- a base 116 closes one end of the cyclone 102 .
- the base 116 is pivotably mounted on the lower end of the second portion 108 of the wall 104 by means of a hinge 118 .
- the base 116 is retained in a closed position (as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 ) by means of a catch 120 .
- a shroud 121 is located inwardly of the wall 104 of the cyclone 102 .
- the shroud 121 comprises a cylindrical wall 122 having a plurality of through-holes 123 .
- the shroud 121 surrounds an outlet 124 from the cyclone 102 .
- the outlet 124 provides a communication path between the cyclone 102 and a further cyclone assembly 126 .
- a lip 128 is provided at the base of the shroud 121 .
- the lip 128 has a plurality of through-holes which are designed to allow air to pass through but to capture dirt and dust.
- the further cyclone assembly 126 comprises a plurality of further cyclones 130 arranged in parallel.
- six further cyclones 130 are provided.
- Each further cyclone 130 has a tangentially-arranged air inlet 132 and an air outlet 134 .
- Each air inlet 132 and air outlet 134 is located at a first end of the respective further cyclone 130 .
- a cone opening 136 is located at a second end of each further cyclone 130 .
- the cone opening 136 of each further cyclone 130 is inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis (not shown) of the respective further cyclone 130 as can be best seen in FIG. 3 .
- the cone openings 136 of each of the further cyclones 130 are in communication with a passageway 138 defined by a wall 140 located inwardly of the shroud 121 .
- a collector 142 is located at the lower end of the passageway 138 .
- the collector 142 comprises a frustoconical first portion 144 and a cylindrical second portion 146 .
- the interior of the collector 142 is surrounded by the base 116 and the sides of the first and second portions 144 , 146 of the collector 142 .
- a further lip 148 extends into the portion of the collector 142 surrounded by the cylindrical second portion 146 .
- the further lip 148 comprises a frustoconical portion 148 a and a cylindrical portion 148 b which extends substantially parallel to the sides of the second portion 146 of the collector 142 .
- the function of the further lip 148 will be described later.
- Each of the air outlets 134 of the further cyclones 130 is in communication with a duct 150 .
- the duct 150 provides an airflow path from the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 into other parts of the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 .
- Located at the downstream end of the duct 150 is a pre-motor filter 152 .
- the pre-motor filter 152 comprises a porous material such as foam.
- the motor and fan unit draws a flow of dirt-laden air into the dirty air inlet 20 , through the inlet pipe 18 and into the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 .
- Dirt-laden air enters the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 through the inlet 110 . Due to the tangential arrangement of the inlet 110 , the airflow is forced to follow a helical path around the interior of the wall 104 . Larger dirt and dust particles are separated by cyclonic motion around the wall 104 . These particles are then collected at the base 116 of the cyclone 102 .
- Separation of larger particles will occur in the region of the cyclone 102 surrounded by the first portion 106 of the wall 104 and also the portion of the cyclone 102 surrounded by the lip 114 . Separated particles gather in the portion of the cyclone 102 surrounded by the second portion 108 of the wall 104 .
- the partially-cleaned airflow then flows back up the interior of the cyclone 102 and exits the cyclone 102 via the through-holes in the shroud 121 .
- the airflow Once the airflow has passed through the shroud 121 , it enters the outlet 124 and from there is divided between the tangential inlets 132 of each of the further cyclones 130 .
- Each of the further cyclones 130 has a diameter smaller than that of the cyclone 102 . Therefore, the further cyclones 130 are able to separate smaller particles of dirt and dust from the partially-cleaned airflow than the cyclone 102 .
- Separated dirt and dust exits the further cyclones 130 via the cone openings 136 . Thereafter, the separated dirt and dust passes down the passageway 138 and into the collector 142 . The separated dirt and dust eventually settles at the base of the collector 142 .
- Cleaned air then flows back up the further cyclones 130 , exits the further cyclones 130 through the air outlets 134 and enters the duct 150 .
- the cleaned air then passes from the duct 150 sequentially through the pre-motor filter 152 , the motor and fan unit, and a post-motor filter before being exhausted from the vacuum cleaner 10 through the air vents 24 .
- the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 will be held in a variety of orientations. It may even be held upside down in use.
- the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 is tilted away from the vertical, a large proportion of the separated dirt and dust that may otherwise move towards the inlet 110 and the shroud 121 is caught in an annular pocket created between the lip 114 and the second portion 108 of the wall 104 .
- the presence of the above-described pocket may assist in the creation of stagnation points and eddy-currents within the lower portion of the cyclone 102 . This may further prevent re-entrainment of separated dirt and dust into the return airflow.
- a pocket is created between the second portion 146 of the collector 142 and the further lip 148 .
- the pocket will prevent a proportion of the separated dirt and dust which may potentially block the cone openings 136 or other parts of the further cyclones 130 from re-entering the passageway 138 when the hand-held vacuum cleaner 10 is tilted away from the vertical.
- the cyclone 102 and collector 142 can be emptied simultaneously by releasing the catch 120 to allow the base 116 to pivot about the hinge 118 so that the separated dirt and dust can fall away from the cyclonic separating apparatus 100 .
- Both the lip 114 and the further lip 148 may take different configurations or shapes from those shown in the first embodiment.
- FIGS. 4 to 11 illustrate schematically eight further alternative configurations of the lip or lips which fall within the scope of the invention. In these illustrations, all detail will be omitted other than the general shape of the lip and adjoining wall portions. These configurations of lip may be applied to either the lip in the cyclone or to the further lip in the collector.
