Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dust separation device for a vacuum cleaner, in particular to a vacuum cleaner which uses a water medium to remove dust from air. Background Art

[0002] Dust from traditional vacuum cleaners can only be filtered through dust bag filtration devices or filter cartridges, and dust bags and filter cartridges are accessories that are easily clogged and worn. Frequent cleaning or replacement of dust bags and filter cartridges causes great waste. Due to the unreasonable structural design of existing water-filtering vacuum cleaners, the following three different solutions have different advantages and disadvantages:

[0003] Solution 1, see patent application CN200720309205, water filtering vacuum cleaner.

[0004] The feature of the scheme is that the outlet of the suction pipe is below the water surface, and the direction of the air outlet is downward, that is, the air flow is blown downward from underwater.

[0005] Advantages: Air and water are stirred violently, the mixing effect is good, and the dust removal effect is good at the beginning of operation.

[0006] shortcoming:

[0007] 1) The outlet of the straw is below the water surface, the air flow rate is high, and the relative speed when it contacts the water is large, which makes it very easy to produce water mist.

[0008] 2) All the water is moving at high speed with the air, and this part of the kinetic energy will eventually turn into heat energy and be dissipated. Water consumes a lot of energy, so the vacuum cleaner has poor suction power and high energy consumption.

[0009] 3) High-speed airflow hits the bottom of the pool downward, and all the water is stirred rapidly. All water bodies are equally turbid. As the dust increases, the dirty water fails to meet the requirements of clean air more quickly, and vacuuming operations cannot continue.

[0010] 4) The high-speed airflow hits the bottom of the pool downward, and the airflow is broken into tiny bubbles, which take longer to precipitate from the water. In addition, this causes the aqueous solution to become foamy as a whole, and the water surface height is significant. The overall height of the vacuum cleaner is limited, and water can easily enter the motor or be discharged from the vacuum cleaner through the fan.

[0011] Plan 1 has basically no practical value and has been eliminated by the market.

[0012] Solution 2, CN201621298322, a water filtering vacuum cleaner:

[0013] The solution is characterized in that the outlet of the suction pipe is below the water surface and close to the water surface, and the direction of the air outlet is upward, that is, the air flow is blown upward from underwater.

[0014] Advantages: Garbage is deposited in the lower layer of water due to gravity, and the water in the upper layer is relatively cleaner. Since the air is only stirred and mixed with the water in the upper layer, the flow rate of the water in the lower layer is very low or even static, so the water used to filter the air is relatively clean. Compared with solution 1, bubbles only exist in the upper layer of water, the water is not easy to turn into an overall foam state, and the water level is relatively stable.

[0015] shortcoming:

[0016] 1) The outlet of the suction tube is below the water surface, the air flow rate is high, and the relative speed when it contacts the water is large, which easily generates water mist and causes water splashes. The high-speed airflow easily brings the splashed water droplets and water mist into the motor, causing motor failure. At the same time, it also brings a large amount of water mist out of the exhaust port, affecting use.

[0017] 2) High-speed airflow is ejected upward from underwater close to the water surface. The contact time between air and water is very short, and the air flow field is cylindrical. The surrounding air and water are in full contact, but the airflow and water in the center of the cylinder are not in full contact. Some dust cannot contact the water and directly rises along the airflow, and then is discharged from the vacuum cleaner through the centrifugal fan. The water filtration effect is poor.

[0018] 3) In order to suppress the rise of water droplets, a water baffle must be installed in the path of rising airflow. However, a water baffle with a simple structure has a poor water-blocking effect. Conversely, a water baffle with a better water-blocking effect has a complex structure, high cost, and significantly increases the air flow resistance, resulting in poor suction of the vacuum cleaner.

[0019] 4) Because the trash can needs to be disassembled for cleaning after the operation is completed, the trash can, the air duct inside the can, the water baffle, etc. must be made into separate parts, and the air duct and the air channel of the trash can wall must be sealed. These requirements lead to complex component structure of the water filtration module, high manufacturing cost, inconvenient disassembly and assembly, and difficult cleaning.

[0020] 5) If this vacuum cleaner is used to absorb water, the water level in the trash can will rise, and the air outlet of the air inlet will continue to move away from the water surface from the position close to the water surface, which will cause an effect similar to that of Scheme 1, that is, a large number of bubbles dissolved in the water body are not easy to precipitate quickly, and the water body becomes foamy, causing the water level to rise rapidly, and water can easily enter the motor or fly out of the vacuum cleaner through the fan. Compared with dust bag vacuum cleaners or filter barrel vacuum cleaners with the same trash can volume, the water filter vacuum cleaner using Scheme 2 has a much smaller water absorption capacity.

[0021] Currently, mainstream water-filtering vacuum cleaners on the market all adopt this solution.

[0022] Solution 3, CN201621298669, a water filtering vacuum cleaner with a cyclone mixing device:

[0023] The solution is characterized in that the outlet of the straw is below the water surface and close to the water surface, and the air outlet blows out horizontally, causing the water body to rotate in the horizontal plane.

[0024] advantage:

[0025] 1) Compared with Scheme 2, the air and water produce a horizontal rotating mixing effect, the relative speed difference between the air and water is smaller, and the splashing phenomenon is weakened; the air and water are in contact for a longer time, and the filtering and cleaning effect of water on the air is better.

[0026] 2) Similar to Scheme 2, the air outlet of the air inlet is close to the water surface, bubbles only exist in the upper layer of the water, the water is not easy to turn into an overall foam state, and the water level is relatively stable.

[0027] shortcoming:

[0028] 1) Similar to Solution 2, the outlet of the suction tube is below the water surface, the air flow rate is high, and the relative speed when it contacts the water is large, which easily generates water mist and causes water splashes. The high-speed airflow easily brings the splashed water droplets and water mist into the motor, causing motor failure. At the same time, it also brings a large amount of water mist out of the exhaust port, affecting use.

[0029] 2) Similar to Option 2, these components used for water filtration still need to be split and ensure that the air duct and the air channel of the trash can wall are sealed. These requirements lead to problems such as complex component structure of the water filtration module, high manufacturing cost, inconvenient disassembly and assembly, and difficulty in cleaning.

[0030] 3) Similar to Scheme 2, the water absorption capacity of the water filter vacuum cleaner using Scheme 3 is much smaller than that of a dust bag type vacuum cleaner or a filter barrel type vacuum cleaner with the same trash can volume.

[0031] 4) The air outlet of the air inlet is below the water surface. In order to achieve the water rotation effect, the flow area of ​​the air outlet of the air inlet cannot be too large, so the relative speed of air and water is still very high, and obvious splashing will still occur.

[0032] To sum up all three solutions above, there is a fundamental problem: when air and water come into contact, the relative speed of air and water is very high, which leads to two disadvantages:

[0033] First, water can be easily broken into tiny droplets and mist, which can easily follow the airflow to the inside of the motor or fly to the outside of the vacuum cleaner through the fan.

[0034] Second, according to the kinetic energy theorem, kinetic energy is equal to mass multiplied by the square of velocity, that is, the kinetic energy of water is proportional to the velocity of water. The greater the air velocity in contact with water, the greater the velocity and kinetic energy of water; and this part of the energy of water cannot be used for vacuuming, and is wasted, resulting in poor suction power of the vacuum cleaner and high energy consumption. Summary of the invention

[0089] The horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet bin 705 is A1, and the horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet bin 706 is A2, and A1&l t;A2 is set. That is, the effective air circulation area of ​​the air inlet bin 705 is smaller than the effective air circulation area of ​​the air outlet bin 706, and the average air flow rate of the air inlet bin 705 is greater than the average air flow rate of the air outlet bin 706, and the droplets have relatively more time to settle by gravity in the air outlet bin 706.

[0096] Figure 1It is a simplified structural diagram and air flow diagram of Example 1. The suction pipe 6 enters the interior of the trash can 3 from the side wall of the trash can 3. The outlet of the suction pipe 6 is a straight pipe. The guide baffle 712 is a cylindrical structure, which divides the trash can 3 into an air inlet bin 705 and an air outlet bin 706. The upper sections of these two parts are not connected, but the lower sections are connected. There is a dust removal liquid 9 at the connection point, and the dust removal liquid 9 isolates the air between the two bins. The initial height of the dust removal liquid 9 is slightly higher than the lower edge of the guide baffle 712. The air coming out of the outlet of the suction pipe 6 must descend into the dust removal liquid 9 to bypass the guide baffle 712, and the dust and garbage in the air flow are dissolved in the dust removal liquid 9. A secondary filtering device 741 is provided at the fan inlet 401, which can be a filter barrel, to further filter the residual dust and droplets in the air, so that the air coming out of the fan outlet 402 is cleaned.

The outlet of the suction pipe 6 has a bend, and the airflow direction at the outlet is horizontally tangent to the side wall of the trash can 3, and the airflow will produce a horizontal rotation effect in the air inlet bin 705 to prevent the high-speed airflow from directly impacting the dust removal liquid 9.

[0098] Figure 3 It is a simplified structural diagram of Embodiment 3. At the outlet of the suction pipe 6, the guide baffle 712 is provided with a gas guide groove 7125, which guides the air flow to both sides, thereby reducing air energy loss.
