Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dust collecting structures, and in particular to a dust collector, a separation assembly and a cyclone separator. Background Art

[0002] The principle of a cyclone vacuum cleaner is to rotate the dust-laden airflow, use centrifugal force to separate the dust from the airflow, and then use gravity to make the dust particles fall. In order to improve the separation efficiency of the cyclone vacuum cleaner, multiple parallel cyclone units are generally arranged, and the longitudinal axis of the cyclone unit is tilted at a certain angle. This arrangement can improve space utilization and reduce the size of the cyclone vacuum cleaner. However, since the longitudinal axis of each cyclone unit is tilted, it is difficult to form the cyclone unit, which in turn leads to high processing costs. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a vacuum cleaner, a separation assembly and a cyclone separator that are easy to process and shape in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] A cyclone separator, comprising:

[0005] A plurality of cyclone units, wherein the plurality of cyclone units are arranged in parallel, and the longitudinal axes of the plurality of cyclone units are arranged parallel to each other; and

[0006] A connecting rib, two adjacent cyclone units are connected by the connecting rib, the connecting rib is deformable, and a single cyclone unit can be deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit through the connecting rib so that one end of a plurality of cyclone units are gathered.

[0007] When the above-mentioned cyclone separator is processed, the multiple cyclone units are arranged in parallel and connected by connecting ribs to form a cyclone separator. Since the longitudinal axes of the multiple cyclone units are parallel to each other, on the one hand, the multiple cyclone units can be injection molded along the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the processing directions of the multiple cyclone units are consistent, and the demolding directions after processing are consistent, which can effectively improve the processing efficiency and reduce the processing cost. On the other hand, it can also effectively simplify the mold for processing the cyclone separator, reduce the mold cost, and facilitate improving the processing accuracy. During installation and use, since the connecting ribs are deformable, under a certain thrust, a single cyclone unit is deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit through the connecting ribs, so that one end of the multiple cyclone units is gathered, and then a radially inclined arrangement is formed, which can reduce the size of the cyclone separator at one end of the cyclone unit, improve the space utilization rate, and reduce the overall size of the cyclone separator.

[0008] In one embodiment, a plurality of the cyclone units are arranged in a ring-shaped structure, and the cyclone units include an air inlet portion and a cone portion arranged on the air inlet portion, an air inlet port is formed on the air inlet portion, and a dust exhaust port is formed on one end of the cone portion facing away from the air inlet portion, and the cone portion can be deflected toward the center line of the ring-shaped structure so as to gather the cone portion away from one end of the air inlet portion.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, the plurality of cyclone units are arranged at equal intervals, and two adjacent cyclone units are directly connected via the connecting ribs.

[0010] In one embodiment, two ends of the connecting rib are respectively arranged on the air inlet parts of two adjacent cyclone units; or

[0011] The two ends of the connecting rib are respectively arranged at the connection between the air inlet part and the cone part of two adjacent cyclone units; or

[0012] The two ends of the connecting rib are respectively arranged at the cone parts of two adjacent cyclone units close to the air inlet parts.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, two ends of the connecting rib are integrally formed on two adjacent cyclone units.

[0014] In one embodiment, the connecting rib is a cylindrical structure.

[0015] In one embodiment, the diameter of the connecting rib is 1 mm-4 mm.

[0016] A separation assembly comprising:

[0017] The bracket comprises a base, wherein the base is provided with a plurality of positioning holes arranged at intervals, and the distance between the center lines of two adjacent positioning holes is smaller than the distance between the longitudinal axes of two adjacent parallel cyclone units; and

[0018] In the cyclone separator as described above, each of the cyclone units is correspondingly inserted into one of the positioning holes.

[0019] During the processing of the above-mentioned separation component, the multiple cyclone units are arranged in parallel and connected by connecting ribs to form a cyclone separator. Since the longitudinal axes of the multiple cyclone units are parallel to each other, on the one hand, the multiple cyclone units can be injection molded along the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the processing directions of the multiple cyclone units are consistent, and the demolding directions after processing are consistent, which can effectively improve the processing efficiency and reduce the processing cost. On the other hand, it can also effectively simplify the mold for processing the cyclone separator, reduce the mold cost, and facilitate the improvement of processing accuracy. During installation and use, since the spacing between the center lines of the positioning holes on the bracket base is smaller than the spacing between the longitudinal axes of two adjacent parallel cyclone units, and since the connecting ribs are deformable, under a certain thrust, a single cyclone unit is deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit through the connecting ribs, so that one end of the multiple cyclone units is gathered, and each cyclone unit is correspondingly inserted into one of the positioning holes, so that the cyclone separator can be effectively supported by the bracket, and the installation position of the cyclone separator on the base can be effectively limited by the positioning holes. Since one end of the multiple cyclone units are gathered together, the size of the cyclone separator at one end of the cyclone unit can be reduced, thereby forming a radially inclined arrangement, improving space utilization and reducing the overall size of the separation component.

[0020] In one embodiment, the bracket also includes a support member, which is arranged on the base and forms an installation cavity with the base. The positioning hole is communicated with the installation cavity, and the cyclone separator is arranged in the installation cavity so that each of the cyclone units is correspondingly inserted into one of the positioning holes.

[0021] In one of the embodiments, a supporting portion is formed on the inner wall of the supporting member, and the supporting portion can abut against the cyclone unit.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the number of the support portions corresponds to the number of the positioning holes and the number of the cyclone units, and an inner wall of a single support portion facing the cyclone unit is tangent to an inner wall of the corresponding positioning hole.

[0023] In one of the embodiments, a first limiting portion is formed on the cyclone unit, and a first limiting groove is formed on the base, and the first limiting portion can be correspondingly inserted into the first limiting groove.

[0024] In one of the embodiments, a second limiting groove is further formed on the cyclone unit, and a second limiting portion is formed on the support member, and the second limiting portion can be inserted into the second limiting groove.

[0025] In one embodiment, a card platform is formed on the outer wall of the cyclone unit, the second limiting groove is opened on the card platform, and the second limiting portion is formed on the side of the support member facing away from the base. The card platform can abut against the side of the support member facing away from the base so that the second limiting portion can be inserted into the second limiting groove.

[0026] A vacuum cleaner, comprising:

[0027] A dust collector is formed with a dust collecting chamber; and

[0028] In the separation assembly as described above, the bracket is arranged on the dust collector, and the positioning hole is communicated with the dust collecting chamber.

[0029] When the cyclone separator of the above-mentioned vacuum cleaner is processed, the multiple cyclone units are arranged in parallel and connected by connecting ribs to form a cyclone separator. Since the longitudinal axes of the multiple cyclone units are parallel to each other, on the one hand, the multiple cyclone units can be injection molded along the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the processing directions of the multiple cyclone units are consistent, and the demolding directions after processing are consistent, which effectively improves the processing efficiency and reduces the processing cost. On the other hand, it can also effectively simplify the mold for processing the cyclone separator, reduce the mold cost, and facilitate the improvement of processing accuracy. During installation and use, since the spacing between the center lines of the positioning holes on the bracket base is smaller than the spacing between the longitudinal axes of two adjacent parallel cyclone units, and since the connecting ribs are deformable, under a certain thrust, a single cyclone unit is deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit through the connecting ribs, so that one end of the multiple cyclone units is gathered, and each cyclone unit is correspondingly inserted into one of the positioning holes, and then the cyclone separator can be effectively supported by the bracket. The bracket is arranged on the dust collector, and the positioning hole is connected to the dust collecting chamber, and the dust separated by the cyclone separator can be collected in the dust collecting chamber. Since one end of the multiple cyclone units are gathered together, the size of the cyclone separator at one end of the cyclone unit can be reduced, thereby forming a radially inclined arrangement, improving space utilization, reducing the overall size of the separation component, and making the structure of the vacuum cleaner more compact.

The various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily.

However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The separation assembly 10 in one embodiment is used to separate dust from gas, and at least the manufacturing process is simple and easy, the manufacturing cost is low, and the manufacturing efficiency is high. Specifically, the separation assembly 10 includes a cyclone separator 100 and a bracket 200 .

[0042] See also Figures 3 to 5 The cyclone separator 100 includes a plurality of cyclone units 110 and a connecting rib 120. The plurality of cyclone units 110 are arranged in parallel, and the longitudinal axes a of the plurality of cyclone units 110 are arranged parallel to each other. Two adjacent cyclone units 110 are connected by the connecting rib 120. The connecting rib 120 is deformable. A single cyclone unit 110 can be deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit 110 by the connecting rib 120, so that one end of the plurality of cyclone units 110 is gathered.

[0043] During processing, the multiple cyclone units 110 are arranged in parallel and connected by connecting ribs 120 to form a cyclone separator 100. Since the longitudinal axes a of the multiple cyclone units 110 are parallel to each other, on the one hand, the multiple cyclone units 110 can be injection molded along the direction of the longitudinal axis a, and the processing directions of the multiple cyclone units 110 are consistent, and the ejection directions after processing are consistent, which can effectively improve the processing efficiency and reduce the processing cost. On the other hand, it can also effectively simplify the mold for processing the cyclone separator 100, reduce the mold cost, and facilitate the improvement of processing accuracy. During installation and use, since the connecting ribs 120 are deformable, under a certain thrust, a single cyclone unit 110 is deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit 110 through the connecting ribs 120, so that one end of the multiple cyclone units 110 are gathered, and then the multiple cyclone units 110 are arranged in a radially inclined state, which can reduce the size of the cyclone separator 100 at one end of the cyclone unit 110, improve space utilization, and reduce the overall size of the cyclone separator 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, a plurality of cyclone units 110 are arranged in an annular structure. The cyclone unit 110 includes an air inlet 112 and a cone 114 arranged on the air inlet 112. An air inlet 111 is formed on the air inlet 112. A dust outlet 115 is provided on one end of the cone 114 facing away from the air inlet 112. The cone 114 can deflect toward the center line of the annular structure so that the cone 114 gathers away from one end of the air inlet 112. Arranging a plurality of cyclone units 110 in an annular structure can facilitate dust-carrying gas to enter the cone 114 from the air inlet 111, and dust is discharged from the dust outlet 115 on the cone 114 due to centrifugal force and gravity in the cone 114, thereby achieving separation of dust from gas. During processing, multiple cyclone units 110 are arranged in a ring structure; during installation, since the size of the cone portion 114 gradually decreases in the direction away from the air inlet portion 112, the end of the cone portion 114 away from the air inlet portion 112 is gathered, which can effectively improve the structural compactness of the cyclone separator 100 and reduce the size of the cyclone separator 100.

[0045] In other embodiments, during processing, the multiple cyclone units 110 are arranged in a row, and the longitudinal axes a of the multiple cyclone units 110 are parallel to each other. When installation is required, the first and last cyclone units 110 in a row are close to each other, so that the multiple cyclone units 110 are arranged in a ring structure. The cone 114 of the cyclone unit 110 is further deflected through the connecting rib 120, and the cones 114 of the multiple cyclone units 110 are gathered away from one end of the air inlet 112, thereby forming a radially inclined arrangement state in which the cones 114 are gathered and gradually separated in the direction of the air inlet 112, which can effectively reduce the size of the cyclone separator 100 and make the structure more compact.

[0046] In one embodiment, a plurality of cyclone units 110 are arranged at equal intervals, and two adjacent cyclone units 110 are directly connected by connecting ribs 120. Thus, two adjacent cyclone units 110 are connected only by connecting ribs 120, avoiding the deflection of the cyclone units affected by the arrangement of other connecting parts. At the same time, the plurality of cyclone units 110 are arranged at equal intervals, and thus the air inlets 111 are arranged at equal intervals, which can effectively improve the stability and uniformity of the air intake and improve the gas-dust separation efficiency.

[0047] Specifically, an exhaust port 113 is formed on the air inlet 112 of the cyclone unit 110, and the exhaust port 113 is arranged opposite to the dust exhaust port 115. The gas separated from the dust can be effectively discharged from the exhaust port 113, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, the air inlet 111 is formed on the side wall of the air inlet portion 112 , and the opening direction of the air inlet 111 is tangent to the inner wall of the air inlet portion 112 , so that the gas entering through the air inlet 111 can effectively rotate in the cyclone unit 110 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the air inlet portion 112 is cylindrical, which facilitates the opening of the air inlet 111. In other embodiments, the air inlet portion 112 may also be conical, and the air inlet portion 112 smoothly transitions to the cone portion 114.

[0050] In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting rib 120 are integrally formed on two adjacent cyclone units 110, which can further reduce the difficulty of processing, and the connecting rib 120 can effectively improve the stability of the connection between the two adjacent cyclone units 110.

[0051] In one embodiment, both ends of the connecting rib 120 are respectively disposed at the air inlets 112 of two adjacent cyclone units 110. When the conical portion 114 is gathered away from one end of the air inlet 112, the position change of the air inlet 112 is small, thereby effectively reducing the size of the cyclone separator 100 during installation and use.

[0052] In another embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rib 120 are respectively disposed at the connection between the air inlet 112 and the cone 114 of two adjacent cyclone units 110. When the cone 114 is away from one end of the air inlet 112 and converges, the position change range of the air inlet 112 is reduced.

[0053] Of course, both ends of the connecting rib 120 can also be arranged at the cones 114 of two adjacent cyclone units 110 near the air inlet 112. When the cones 114 are gathered away from one end of the air inlet 112, the position change range of the air inlet 112 is reduced.

[0054] In this embodiment, the connecting rib 120 is a cylindrical structure, which can improve the connection stability of two adjacent cyclone units 110, so that the connecting rib 120 is easy to process and has high stability. In other embodiments, the connecting rib 120 can also be a strip structure, or other shape structure, as long as it can connect two adjacent cyclone units 110 and facilitate the deflection of a single cyclone unit 110 relative to another adjacent cyclone unit 110.

[0055] Optionally, the diameter of the connecting rib 120 is 1mm-4mm, so as to avoid setting the diameter of the connecting rib 120 too small, which may affect the stability of the connection between two adjacent cyclone units 110; and to avoid setting the diameter of the connecting rib 120 too large, which may affect the deflection of the cyclone unit 110 through the connecting rib 120.

[0056] In this embodiment, the diameter of the connecting rib 120 is 2 mm, which can ensure the stability of the connection between two adjacent cyclone units 110 and facilitate the deflection of the cyclone unit 110 through the connecting rib 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the diameter of the connecting rib 120 can also be greater than or less than 2 mm.

[0057] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the bracket 200 includes a base 210, which is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 212 arranged at intervals, and the distance between the center lines of two adjacent positioning holes 212 is smaller than the distance between the longitudinal axes a of two adjacent parallel cyclone units 110; each cyclone unit 110 is correspondingly inserted into a positioning hole 212.

[0058] During installation and use, since the spacing between the center lines of the positioning holes 212 on the base 210 of the bracket 200 is smaller than the spacing between the longitudinal axes a of two adjacent parallel cyclone units 110, and since the connecting ribs 120 are deformable, under the action of a certain thrust, a single cyclone unit 110 is deflected relative to another adjacent cyclone unit 110 through the connecting ribs 120, so that one end of the multiple cyclone units 110 is gathered, and each cyclone unit 110 is correspondingly inserted into one of the positioning holes 212, so that the bracket 200 can effectively support the cyclone separator 100, and the positioning holes 212 can effectively limit the installation position of the cyclone separator 100 on the base 210. Since one end of the multiple cyclone units 110 is gathered, the size of the cyclone separator 100 at one end of the cyclone unit 110 can be reduced, so as to form a radially inclined arrangement state, thereby improving space utilization and reducing the overall size of the separation assembly 10.

[0059] Optionally, the plurality of positioning holes 212 are arranged in a ring shape, so that the plurality of cyclone units 110 can be effectively arranged in a ring shape, thereby facilitating dust-laden gas to enter the air inlet 111 .

[0060] Specifically, a mounting hole 214 is further provided on the base 210, and the mounting hole 214 is located in the ring formed by the plurality of positioning holes 212, and the mounting hole 214 is used to install a single cyclone unit 110. By providing the mounting hole 214, the cyclone unit 110 can be further installed in the ring structure formed by the cyclone separator 100, and the separation of dust in the dust-laden gas by the separation assembly 10 can be further improved.

[0061] Optionally, the number of mounting holes 214 can be multiple, and a cyclone unit 110 can be installed in each mounting hole 214. Specifically, the number of mounting holes 214 is four, and the four mounting holes 214 are arranged at intervals. Of course, the number of mounting holes 214 can also be two, three or other numbers. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting holes 214 can also be omitted.

[0062] Optionally, an air inlet hole is provided on the base 210, through which dust-carrying gas can enter the air inlet 111. Specifically, the part of the base 210 where the positioning hole 212 is not located is hollowed out to form the air inlet hole, so that the structure of the base 210 is reasonably utilized, and the size of the air inlet hole can be effectively enlarged to improve the air intake efficiency and uniformity.

[0063] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a first limiting portion 116 is formed on the cyclone unit 110, and a first limiting groove 216 is formed on the base 210. The first limiting portion 116 can be correspondingly inserted into the first limiting groove 216. The first limiting portion 116 and the first limiting groove 216 can effectively improve the stability of the cyclone unit 110 in the positioning hole 212, thereby preventing the cyclone unit 110 from shaking in the positioning hole 212.

[0064] Specifically, the first limiting portion 116 is formed on the cone portion 114 of the cyclone unit 110, and a boss 218 is formed on the base 210. The boss 218 is provided with a first limiting groove 216. When the cone portion 114 is inserted into the positioning hole 212, the first limiting portion 116 can be correspondingly inserted into the first limiting groove 216. By providing the boss 218, the first limiting groove 216 is conveniently provided.

[0065] In this embodiment, a first limiting groove 216 is correspondingly provided on one side of each positioning hole 212, thereby effectively improving the stability of the positioning of the cyclone unit 110 on the base 210, and preventing the cone portion 114 of a single cyclone unit 110 from deflecting, thereby affecting the determination of the installation position of the air inlet 111 on the air inlet portion 112. Specifically, a boss 218 is correspondingly provided on one side of each positioning hole 212, and a limiting groove is provided on each boss 218.

[0066] In other embodiments, a boss may be formed on the cone portion 114 , a first limiting groove may be formed on the boss, and a first limiting portion may be formed on the base 210 , and the first limiting portion may be inserted into the first limiting groove.

[0067] In one embodiment, the bracket 200 further includes a support member 220, which is disposed on the base 210 and forms a mounting cavity 222 with the base 210. The positioning hole 212 is connected to the mounting cavity 222. The cyclone separator 100 is disposed in the mounting cavity 222, so that each cyclone unit 110 is correspondingly inserted into a positioning hole 212. The mounting cavity 222 formed by the support member 220 can further improve the stability of the cyclone separator 100 installed on the bracket 200.

[0068] Specifically, a support portion 224 is formed on the inner wall of the support member 220, and the support portion 224 can abut against the cyclone unit 110. When the cyclone unit 110 is inserted into the positioning hole 212, the support portion 224 can abut against the cyclone unit 110, thereby effectively supporting the cyclone unit 110 and improving the stability of the cyclone unit 110 in the installation cavity 222.

[0069] In this embodiment, the number of support portions 224 corresponds to the number of positioning holes 212 and the number of cyclone units 110, so that each cyclone unit 110 can be supported by the corresponding support portion 224, further improving the stability of the cyclone separator 100 in the installation cavity 222.

[0070] Specifically, the inner wall of the single support portion 224 facing the cyclone unit 110 is tangent to the inner wall of the corresponding positioning hole 212. When the cyclone unit 110 is inserted into the positioning hole, the inner wall of the support portion 224 can be effectively attached to the cyclone unit 110, providing more stable support for the cyclone unit 110.

[0071] Furthermore, the support portion 224 can abut against the cone portion 114, and the inner wall of the support portion 224 facing the cyclone unit 110 is an arc surface matching the cone portion 114. When the support portion 224 abuts against the cyclone unit 110, the inner wall can be stably attached to the cyclone unit 110, and the cyclone unit 110 can be further stably supported.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the support portion 224 may also be a protrusion provided on the inner wall of the support member 220, and the protrusion may abut against the cyclone unit 110. Alternatively, the support portion 224 may also be omitted, and the inner wall of the support member 220 directly abuts against the cyclone unit 110 to provide support for the cyclone unit 110.

[0073] In this embodiment, the boss 218 with the first limiting groove 216 and the support portion 224 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the positioning hole 212. Of course, the boss 218 and the support portion 224 may not be disposed opposite to each other, as long as they can support the limiting cyclone unit 110.

[0074] In one embodiment, the cyclone unit 110 is further formed with a second limiting groove 117, and the support member 220 is formed with a second limiting portion 226, which can be inserted into the second limiting groove 117. By forming the second limiting portion 226 to cooperate with the second limiting groove 117, the stability of the cyclone unit 110 on the support member 220 is further improved.

[0075] Optionally, a clamping platform 118 is formed on the outer wall of the cyclone unit 110, the second limiting groove 117 is opened on the clamping platform 118, and the second limiting portion 226 is formed on the side of the support member 220 facing away from the base 210. The clamping platform 118 can abut against the side of the support member 220 facing away from the base 210, so that the second limiting portion 226 can be inserted into the second limiting groove 117. By the clamping platform 118 abutting against the side of the support member 220 facing away from the base 210, the position of the cyclone unit 110 in the installation cavity 222 can be further limited, and the stability of the cyclone separator 100 in the installation cavity 222 can be further improved.

[0076] Specifically, the clamping platform 118 is formed at a position of the cone portion 114 close to the air inlet portion 112. When the cone portion 114 is inserted into the positioning hole 212, the support portion 224 abuts against the cone portion 114, so that the clamping platform 118 abuts against the side of the support member 220 facing away from the base 210, so that the cone portion 114 can be supported more effectively. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping platform 118 can also be formed on the air inlet portion 112, or the clamping platform 118 can also be formed at the connection between the air inlet portion 112 and the cone portion 114.

[0077] In another embodiment, a second limiting portion may be formed on the outer wall of the cyclone unit 110, and a second limiting groove may be provided on the support member 220, as long as the cyclone unit 110 can be positioned on the support member 220 through the cooperation between the second limiting portion and the second limiting groove.

[0078] A vacuum cleaner in one embodiment includes the separation assembly 10 and the dust collector in any of the above embodiments, the bracket 200 is arranged on the dust collector, and the positioning hole 212 is connected to the dust collecting chamber. The dust-carrying gas enters the cone 114 from the air inlet 111 of the cyclone unit 110, and due to centrifugal force and gravity in the cone 114, the dust is discharged from the dust outlet 115 at one end of the cone 114 facing away from the air inlet 112. Since the cone 114 is inserted into the positioning hole 212, and the positioning hole 212 is connected to the dust collecting chamber, the dust effectively falls into the dust collecting chamber, and the separation of dust in the gas is achieved.

[0079] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
