Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a filter assembly and a dust cup body. Background Art

[0002] In existing vacuum cleaners, dust-laden fluid flows directly to the filter assembly through the suction pipe for filtration, and the dust-laden fluid can only be removed through the filter assembly, resulting in excessive working pressure of the filter assembly. In addition, the dust storage area is located below the filter assembly. When the negative pressure suction force is large, the dust particles in the dust storage area will still be directed to the filter assembly again, increasing the working pressure of the filter assembly. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a filter assembly and a dust cup body to solve the problem that the working pressure of the filter assembly in the existing vacuum cleaner is high and the dust in the dust storage area will be redirected to the filter assembly.

[0004] On the one hand, the present invention provides a filter assembly, including an outer cover body, an air guide plate and a filter cover, the filter cover is located in the outer cover body, and the air guide plate is located between the outer cover body and the filter cover; a spiral channel is formed between the air guide plate, the outer cover body and the filter cover; the fluid entering the filter assembly is first centrifugally filtered through the spiral channel, and after flowing out of the spiral channel, it is guided to the filter cover for the next step of filtration.

[0005] Furthermore, the outer cover body is a hollow structure with an open rear end, and an air inlet is provided on the front end surface of the outer cover body, and the air inlet is connected to the entrance of the spiral channel.

[0006] Furthermore, a dust outlet is provided on the rear end surface of the outer cover body, and the dust outlet is communicated with the outlet of the spiral channel.

[0007] Furthermore, the dust outlet extends from the top of the outer cover body along one side of the side wall of the outer cover body to the bottom of the outer cover body.

[0008] Furthermore, the filter cover includes a sealing portion and a filtering portion, and the spiral channel is formed between the sealing portion, the outer cover body, and the air guide plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the filter part is a hollow structure with an open rear end, and filter mesh holes are provided on the side walls of the filter part.

[0010] Furthermore, the air guide plate is a spiral plate, which starts from the front end surface of the outer cover body and spirally extends along the central axis of the filter cover to the dust outlet of the outer cover body, so that the cavity between the filter cover and the outer cover body is constructed into the spiral channel.

[0011] Furthermore, a sleeve is provided on the outer side of the filter cover;

[0012] The air guide plate is located between the sleeve and the outer cover, and forms the spiral channel between the sleeve and the outer cover.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a dust shield plate, which is located at the bottom of the outer cover.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention provides a dust cup body, including the above-mentioned filter assembly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By providing a spiral channel, the dust-containing fluid can be centrifugally rotated during the conduction process, thereby realizing centrifugal filtration and dust removal, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter cover on the dust-containing fluid filtration;

[0017] (2) By providing an outer cover, the filter cover and the dust storage area of ​​the dust collecting cup are effectively separated, preventing the dust in the dust storage area from being directed to the filter cover again, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter assembly;

[0018] (3) The filter cover includes a sealing part and a filtering part. The sealing part, the outer cover body and the air guide plate form a spiral channel. The fluid discharged from the spiral channel is guided to the filtering part. After the dust-containing fluid is centrifugally rotated in the spiral channel, large dust particles are centrifugally filtered and then thrown out of the filter component from the dust outlet. After the dust-containing fluid is further filtered through the filtering part, small dust particles are filtered and then discharged from the filter component from the dust outlet, so that the filter component can achieve graded filtration, and the dust removal and filtration effect is significantly improved;

[0019] (4) A dust shield is provided at the bottom of the outer cover body to prevent a cyclone from being generated in the dust storage area in the dust collecting cup body, and effectively prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being guided to the dust outlet by the cyclone;

For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present invention is placed on a horizontal plane and used on the horizontal plane, and "high and low" and "up and down" are defined in this way.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] This embodiment provides a filtering component, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes an outer cover 11, an air guide plate 12 and a filter cover 13, wherein the filter cover 13 is located inside the outer cover 11, and the air guide plate 12 is located between the outer cover 11 and the filter cover 13, and forms a spiral channel together with the outer cover 11 and the filter cover 13. The fluid entering the filter assembly 1 is first centrifugally filtered through the spiral channel, and after flowing out of the spiral channel, it is guided to the filter cover 13 for the next step of filtering.

[0041] Specifically, the dust-containing fluid enters from the entrance of the spiral channel, and is centrifugally rotated through the spiral channel. Dust with larger particles is separated under the centrifugal action and discharged from the filter assembly through the outlet 101 of the spiral channel. After being discharged from the outlet 101 of the spiral channel, the fluid is guided to the filter cover 13 for the next step of filtration. It should be noted that the fluid guided from the outlet 101 of the spiral channel flows toward the rear end of the filter cover 13 to ensure that the fluid can be filtered in the next step.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the filter assembly 1 of this embodiment is provided with a spiral channel so that the dust-containing fluid can be centrifugally rotated during the conduction process to achieve centrifugal filtration and dust removal, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter cover 13 on the dust-containing fluid filtration. In addition, by providing the outer cover body 11, the filter cover 13 is effectively separated from the dust storage area of ​​the dust cup body to prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being guided to the filter cover 13 again, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter assembly.

[0043] The outer cover 11 is a hollow structure. Specifically, the outer cover 11 is a hollow structure with an open rear end, and an air inlet is provided on the front end surface. The air inlet is sealed and connected with the entrance of the spiral channel, so as to ensure that the fluid flowing through the filter assembly 1 can be centrifugally filtered through the spiral channel. The dust-containing fluid enters through the front end of the outer cover 11, and after centrifugal filtration through the spiral channel, large particles of dust are discharged from the rear end of the outer cover, and the fluid is guided to the rear of the filter cover 13 for the next step of filtration.

[0044] The rear end face of the outer cover body 11 is recessed toward the front end face to form a dust outlet 111, that is, the rear end face of the outer cover body 11 is provided with a dust outlet 111, and the dust outlet 111 is connected with the outlet 101 of the spiral channel to ensure that large particles of dust filtered out by centrifugation are smoothly discharged from the outer cover body 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, the outer cover body 11 is a cylindrical structure with both the front and rear ends open. The entrance of the spiral channel is the air inlet, and the dust outlet 111 extends from the top of the outer cover body 11 along one side of the side wall of the outer cover body 11 to the bottom of the outer cover body 11, and the outlet 101 of the spiral channel is located at the bottom of the outer cover body 11. The outlet 101 of the spiral channel is connected to the dust outlet 111, and the rear end face of the air guide plate 12 is connected to the lower edge of the dust outlet 111, ensuring that there is no obstruction between the outlet 101 of the spiral channel and the dust outlet 111, so that the dust filtered by the centrifugal filter and the dust filtered by the filter cover 13 quickly fall into the dust storage area from the dust outlet 111.

[0046] The edges and corners of the dust outlet 111 adopt arc-shaped transitions, which facilitate the passage of fluid, are not easy to accumulate dust, and can also prevent the user from being scratched by the dust outlet 111 when using the filter assembly 1.

[0047] The filter cover 13 is located inside the outer cover body 11. Specifically, the central axis of the filter cover 13 coincides with the central axis of the outer cover body 11. The filter cover 13 includes a sealing portion 131 and a filter portion 132. The filter portion 132 is located behind the sealing portion 131. The front end face and the side wall of the sealing portion 131 are closed wall surfaces. The sealing portion 131, the outer cover body 11 and the air guide plate 12 form a spiral channel. The filter portion 132 does not participate in the formation of the spiral channel, ensuring that the spiral channel only centrifugally filters the dust-containing fluid, so that the filter assembly can achieve graded filtration and has a better dust removal and filtration effect. The filter portion 132 is located behind the spiral channel. After the dust-containing fluid is centrifugally filtered through the spiral channel, it is guided to the filter portion 132 for the next step of filtration. The dust filtered out by the filter portion 132 falls into the dust storage area from the dust outlet 111.

[0048] The filter portion 132 is a hollow structure with an open rear end, and filter mesh holes are provided on the side walls of the filter portion 132 . The dust-containing fluid is further filtered through the filter mesh holes and then flows out from the rear port of the filter portion 132 .

[0049] Since the fluid discharged from the spiral channel is not blown directly to the filter part 132 under the action of centrifugal guidance, in order to better introduce the fluid into the filter part 132, the filter mesh is set to have a certain inclination, and the inclination direction of the filter mesh is consistent with the spiral direction of the spiral channel, that is, the filter mesh is not perpendicular to the central axis of the filter part 132, and the inclination direction of the filter mesh is consistent with the flow direction of the fluid guided from the outlet 101 of the spiral channel to the filter part 132, so that the fluid can be introduced into the filter part 132 faster.

[0050] In this embodiment, the filter cover 13 is a tubular structure with a closed front end and an open rear end, and the filter cover 13 is coaxially arranged with the outer cover body 11, the front end face of the filter cover 13 is a closed structure, and its front end face is flush with the front end face of the outer cover body 11, and the rear end face of the filter cover 13 is an open opening, and its rear end face is flush with the rear end face of the outer cover body 11, and the fluid filtered by the filter cover 13 is discharged from its rear port. The sealing part 131 and the filter part 132 of the filter cover 13 are integrally formed, the sealing part 131 is a tube body with a closed front end face and side walls, and the filter part 132 is a tube body with side walls covered with filter mesh holes and an open rear end, and the filter part 132 corresponds to the dust outlet 111, so that dust can be discharged from the dust outlet 111.

[0051] In this embodiment, the width of the dust outlet 111 is not less than the length from the outlet 101 of the spiral channel to the rear end surface of the filter part 132, ensuring that the dust centrifuged by the spiral channel and the dust filtered by the filter part 132 can be quickly discharged from the filter assembly 1 from the dust outlet 111.

[0052] It should be noted that the sealing portion 131 adopts a solid structure to prevent the fluid from forming a vortex in the filter cover 13 and quickly being discharged from the rear end of the filter cover 13 .

[0053] The air guide plate 12 is located between the filter cover 13 and the outer cover body 11, and forms a spiral channel together with the filter cover 13 and the outer cover body 11. Specifically, the air guide plate 12 is a spiral plate, which spirally extends from the front end surface of the outer cover body 11 along the central axis of the filter cover 13 to the dust outlet 111, thereby configuring the cavity between the filter cover 13 and the outer cover body 11 into a spiral channel, that is, the inner spiral side edge of the spiral plate is sealed with the outer side wall of the filter cover 13, the outer spiral side edge of the spiral plate is sealed with the inner side wall of the outer cover body 11, and the front end surface of the spiral plate is flush with the front end surfaces of the outer cover body 11 and the filter cover 13.

[0054] After the dust-containing fluid enters the filter assembly 1 from the front end face of the outer cover body 11, it is guided by the spiral plate, centrifugally rotates around the filter cover 13, and is guided to the dust outlet 111 by the front end face of the outer cover body 11. In this process, when the larger particles in the dust-containing fluid approach the dust outlet 111, they are directly thrown out of the filter assembly 1 and fall into the dust storage area under the action of centrifugation; the smaller particles in the dust-containing fluid are guided to the filter part 132 of the filter cover 13 along with the fluid, and fall into the dust storage area from the dust outlet 111 after being filtered by the filter mesh; and the fluid after two filtration and dust removal is discharged from the filter assembly 1 from the rear port of the filter part 132.

[0055] It should be noted that the central angle of the spiral plate is α, α≥360°, that is, the number of spiral turns of the spiral plate around the central axis of the filter cover 13 is at least one circle, so that the spiral plate has a good spiral guiding effect on the dust-containing fluid, and improves the effect of centrifugal dust removal in the spiral channel. However, the central angle of the spiral plate should not be too large, so as not to cause the dust-containing fluid to pass through the spiral channel for too long, thereby reducing the filtration rate of the filter assembly 1, and large particles of dust may be retained in the channel due to the excessive length of the spiral channel, which is not conducive to dust discharge, and even worse, the channel is blocked, affecting the flow of fluid, therefore, α<720°, in short, 360°≤α<720°.

[0056] In this embodiment, α=400°, the rear end face of the spiral plate faces the dust outlet 111 and is connected to the bottom edge of the dust outlet 111, so that large particles of dust are discharged from the spiral channel and fall directly into the dust storage area from the dust outlet 111 under the action of gravity.

[0057] In order to improve the stability of the filter cover 13 and to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the filter cover 13, a sleeve 14 is sleeved on the outside of the filter cover 13. Specifically, the sleeve 14 is sleeved on the outside of the closed portion 131. At this time, the air guide plate 12 is located between the sleeve 14 and the outer cover body 11, and forms a spiral channel together with the sleeve 14 and the outer cover body 11. The filter cover 13 can be taken out of the sleeve 14, and the filter cover 13 is connected to the sleeve 14 in a detachable manner.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sleeve 14 is a cylindrical structure with a closed front end and an open rear end. The filter cover 13 is detachably sleeved in the sleeve 14, and the outer diameter of the filter cover 13 is equal to the inner diameter of the sleeve 14, so that the filter cover 13 is stable and does not shake in the sleeve 14. Since the inner wall of the sleeve 14 and the outer wall of the filter cover 13 are tightly fitted together, in order to facilitate the removal of the filter cover 13, a strip groove 133 is provided on the outer wall of the filter cover 13. The strip groove 133 extends from the front end of the outer wall of the filter cover 13 to the rear end. The strip groove 133 is a linear groove, and the straight line is parallel to the central axis of the filter cover 13. In this embodiment, three strip grooves 133 are provided on the outer wall of the filter cover 13, and are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the filter cover 13.

[0059] In order to prevent the filter cover 13 from detaching from or loosening from the sleeve 14 during the use of the filter assembly 1, a clamping plate 134 is provided in the strip groove 133. The clamping plate 134 can slide in the strip groove 133. The clamping plate 134 can be clamped between the filter cover 13 and the sleeve 14 to fix the filter cover 13 in the sleeve 14, so that the filter cover 13 is not easily detached from or loosened from the sleeve 14. When the filter cover 13 is removed from the sleeve 14, an external force is applied to the clamping plate 134 to slide it out from between the filter cover 13 and the sleeve 14, so that the filter cover 13 can be taken out of the sleeve 14.

[0060] In this embodiment, the sleeve 14, the air guide plate 12 and the outer cover 11 are integrally formed, so that the filter assembly 1 has good stability.

[0061] It should be noted that when the filter assembly 1 includes the sleeve 14, the filter cover 13 can remove the sealing part 131 and only provide the filter part 132. In this case, the front end surface of the sleeve 14 is a closed structure, and the filter part 132 is detachably connected to the rear end of the sleeve 14. For example, the filter part 132 is detachably connected to the rear end of the sleeve 14 by threaded connection, clamping, etc., so as to replace and maintain the filter part 132. In this case, the sleeve 14 can also adopt a solid structure.

[0062] In order to further prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being directed to the dust outlet 111 again, the filter assembly 1 further includes a dust shield 15, which is located at the bottom of the outer cover 11 and is arranged along the central axis of the outer cover 11, so as to prevent the generation of a cyclone in the dust storage area in the dust cup body, and effectively prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being directed to the dust outlet 11 along with the cyclone. In this embodiment, the dust shield 15 is arranged in the following two structures:

[0063] (1) The dust shield 15 is a vertical plate. Specifically, the vertical plate is located at the bottom front end of the outer cover 11, and the vertical plate is perpendicular to the bottom end surface of the outer cover 11, that is, the central axis of the outer cover 11 is located in the plane where the vertical plate is located. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the distance from the dust outlet 111 to the front end face of the outer cover body 11 (i.e., the distance from the frontmost edge of the dust outlet 111 to the front end face of the outer cover body 11) is S, the length of the vertical plate is L, S / 3≤L≤S, and by setting the vertical plate, which is located in the dust storage area, it can effectively prevent the formation of a cyclone in the dust storage area, and can block the dust in the dust storage area from being guided to the dust outlet 111, so that the dust can be retained in the dust storage area.

[0064] (2) The dust shield 15 is an inclined plate. Specifically, the inclined plate is located at the bottom end surface of the outer cover 11. The angle between the plane where the inclined plate is located and the plane where the bottom end surface of the outer cover 11 is located is an acute angle, and the inclined plate is inclined in the direction where the dust outlet 111 is located. In this embodiment, the length of the inclined plate is equal to the length of the outer cover 11 (i.e., the distance from the front end surface to the rear end surface of the outer cover 11), and the inclined plate is connected to the bottom edge of the dust outlet 111. In this way, the inclined plate can not only effectively prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being guided to the dust outlet 111, so that the dust can be retained in the dust storage area, but also can quickly guide the dust discharged from the dust outlet 111 to the dust storage area.

[0065] The filter assembly provided in this embodiment has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0066] (1) By providing a spiral channel, the dust-containing fluid can be centrifugally rotated during the conduction process to achieve centrifugal filtration and dust removal, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter cover on the dust-containing fluid filtration;

[0067] (2) By providing an outer cover, the filter cover and the dust storage area of ​​the dust collecting cup are effectively separated to prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being directed to the filter cover again, thereby reducing the working pressure of the filter assembly;

[0068] (3) The filter cover includes a sealing part and a filtering part. The sealing part, the outer cover body and the air guide plate form a spiral channel. The fluid discharged from the spiral channel is guided to the filtering part. After the dust-containing fluid is centrifugally rotated in the spiral channel, large dust particles are centrifugally filtered and thrown out of the filter component from the dust outlet. After the dust-containing fluid is further filtered through the filtering part, small dust particles are filtered and discharged from the filter component from the dust outlet, so that the filter component can achieve graded filtration and has a better dust removal and filtration effect.

[0069] (4) A dust shield is provided at the bottom of the outer cover body to prevent a cyclone from being generated in the dust storage area of ​​the dust collecting cup body, and effectively prevent the dust in the dust storage area from being guided to the dust outlet by the cyclone.

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] This embodiment provides a dust collecting cup body, such as Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, it includes the filter assembly 1 and the dust cup provided in the first embodiment, and the filter assembly 1 is located in the dust cup.

[0072] The dust cup includes a side wall portion 2, a front end portion 3, a cover plate 4, a filter layer 5 and a rear end cover 6.

[0073] The side wall portion 2, the front end portion 3 and the rear end cover 6 together form the outer shell of the dust collecting cup body. Specifically, the front end portion 3 is located in front of the side wall portion 2, and the rear end cover 6 is a detachable cover arranged at the rear end of the side wall portion 2. The front end portion 3 is provided with a fluid inlet 31, and the rear end cover 6 is provided with a fluid outlet 61. The dust-containing fluid enters the dust collecting cup body from the fluid inlet 31, and is discharged from the dust collecting cup body from the fluid outlet 61 after filtering and dust removal. Therefore, a sealed connection is adopted between the front end portion 3 and the side wall portion 2, and between the rear end cover 6 and the side wall portion 2, so that the fluid can only enter and exit the dust collecting cup body from the fluid inlet 31 and the fluid outlet 61.

[0074] The filter assembly 1, the cover plate 4, and the filter layer 5 are sequentially installed in a housing formed by the side wall portion 2, the front end portion 3, and the rear end cover 6. The filter assembly 1 is limited between the front end portion 3 and the cover plate 4. The filter layer 5 is installed in the cover plate 4. The cover plate 4 is provided with a connecting port 41 for fluid circulation. Specifically, the front end face of the outer cover body 11 is sealed and connected to the front end portion 3, and the air inlet of the outer cover body 11 is connected to the fluid inlet 31; the rear end face of the filter cover 13 is sealed and connected to the cover plate 4, and the rear port of the filter cover 13 is connected to the connecting port 41.

[0075] In order to ensure the filtering effect of the filter cover 13 on the fluid, the rear end face of the outer cover body 11 (excluding the rear end face forming the dust outlet 111) is sealed and connected to the cover plate 4 to prevent the fluid discharged from the spiral channel and guided to the filter part 132 from flowing away from the gap between the rear end face of the outer cover body 11 and the cover plate 4, thereby affecting the filtering effect of the filter part 132 on the fluid, thereby preventing a cyclone from forming in the dust storage area 7.

[0076] The inner wall of the side wall 2, the outer wall of the outer cover 11, the cover plate 4 and the front end 3 together enclose a dust storage area 7 of the dust cup. The cover plate 4 is sealed and connected to the rear end cover 6, and together encloses an assembly cavity for assembling the filter layer 5. The shape of the filter layer 5 is adapted to the assembly cavity, so that all fluids flowing into the assembly cavity from the communication port 41 are filtered by the filter layer 5 and then discharged from the fluid outlet 61. The material of the filter layer 5 is filter cotton or filter Hepa.

[0077] In this embodiment, the top of the outer wall of the outer cover 11 contacts the top of the outer wall of the side wall 2, so that the dust storage area 7 is located below the outer cover 11, which is convenient for storing dust. Correspondingly, the position of the connecting port 41 is also located above the center of the cover plate 4, which is compatible with the position of the rear port of the filter cover 13.

[0078] After the dust-containing fluid enters the dust collecting cup from the fluid inlet 31, it is first centrifugally filtered through the spiral channel, and large particles of dust are thrown out of the filter assembly and fall into the dust storage area. After being discharged from the spiral channel, the fluid is guided to the filter part 132. After the fluid is further filtered by the filter part 132, small particles of dust fall into the dust storage area. The fluid is guided from the rear port of the filter part 132 to the filter layer 5 in the cover plate 4. After the filter layer 5 filters the fluid, the fluid is discharged from the fluid outlet 61. In this way, the dust collecting cup can achieve three-stage filtration of the inflowing dust-containing fluid, and has an excellent dust removal effect.

[0079] The rear end cover 6 is detachably connected to the side wall portion 2, which is convenient for taking, replacing and maintaining the cover plate 4, the filter layer 5 and the filter assembly 1, and is also convenient for cleaning the dust in the dust storage area 7.

[0080] In order to more conveniently clean the dust in the dust storage area 7, a cleaning port for dumping dust is provided at the bottom or side wall of the side wall portion 2, and a cover plate that is adapted thereto and can be opened and closed is provided on the cleaning port, and the cover plate is located on the outside of the side wall portion 2, and the cover plate and the cleaning port are sealed to ensure the sealing of the dust cup body. The cover plate can be covered on the cleaning port by a snap fastener, a sliding member, etc. When it is necessary to clean the dust in the dust storage area 7, the cover plate is opened or slid open, the dust is dumped out through the cleaning port, and then the cover plate is covered or slid back onto the cleaning port.

[0081] In order to better introduce the dust-containing fluid into the dust collecting cup, an introduction pipe 32 is provided on the fluid inlet 31 of the front end 3. The front end of the introduction pipe 32 is an inclined end, and the rear end face of the introduction pipe 32 is sealed and connected to the front end 3, that is, the rear port of the introduction pipe 32 is connected to the fluid inlet 31, so that the dust-containing fluid flows into the spiral channel through the guidance of the introduction pipe 32.

[0082] The dust cup body also includes a front cover body 8, which has a detachable cover and is arranged on the side of the front end portion 3 away from the side wall portion 2. The front cover body 8 is provided with a guide pipe 81 connected to the inlet pipe 32. The outlet of the guide pipe 81 is adapted to the front port of the inlet pipe 32, that is, the outlet of the guide pipe 81 is an inclined port, and the dust-containing fluid is guided to the inlet pipe 32 through the fluid pipe 81, so that the structure of the dust cup body is more stable and the fluid circulation is smoother.

[0083] In order to increase the flow rate of the dust-containing fluid when it enters the filter assembly 1, the inlet aperture of the guide pipe 81 is larger than the outlet aperture, that is, the guide pipe 81 is a tapered pipe, so as to effectively increase the flow rate of the dust-containing fluid entering the filter assembly 1, thereby increasing the centrifugal force of the fluid in the spiral channel, so that the filter assembly has a better centrifugal dust removal effect.

[0084] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the dust cup provided in this embodiment include not only the beneficial effects of the filter assembly provided in the first embodiment (which will not be described one by one here), but also have one of the following beneficial effects:

[0085] (1) After the dust-containing fluid enters the dust collecting cup through the fluid inlet, it is filtered step by step through the spiral channel, the filter part, and the filter layer. The three are relatively independent of each other and filter the dust of different particle sizes in the dust-containing fluid, so that the dust collecting cup can achieve graded filtration of the dust-containing fluid, with excellent filtering effect;

[0086] (2) The dust-containing fluid enters the interior of the outer cover through the guidance of the inlet pipe, which is conducive to the centrifugal rotation of the dust-containing fluid around the filter cover under the guidance of the air guide plate.

[0087] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
