Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vacuum cleaners, and in particular to a high-efficiency cyclone separator and cleaning equipment. [Background technology]

[0002] The existing handheld vacuum cleaner usually includes a main body, a motor and a power supply system arranged in the main body for generating negative pressure. The power supply system usually adopts two types: AC and DC. A cyclone separator is arranged on the main body for separating dust sucked in by the motor of the handheld vacuum cleaner to generate negative pressure, storing the dust in the cyclone separator, and discharging the separated airflow. The cyclone separator includes: a cup body for storing dust and a separation device arranged in the cup body for separating dust and air. The separation efficiency of the cyclone separator directly determines the working efficiency of the entire vacuum cleaner, and also determines the cleanliness of the airflow discharged by the handheld vacuum cleaner to a certain extent. At the same time, with the improvement of people's living standards, the housing area is getting larger and larger, and the requirements for a single cleaning area and the ash storage capacity of the cyclone separator are getting higher and higher. In this case, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency, the volume of the separation device and the cup body is continuously increased to increase the airflow passing through and the ash storage volume of the main body. With such a design, the volume of the cyclone separator is getting larger and larger, and the weight is getting heavier, which runs counter to the trend of small and lightweight cleaning appliances, affects the ratio of the cyclone separator to the whole machine, and does not conform to the public's aesthetics.

[0003] The closest prior art can refer to Dyson’s Chinese invention patent CN

[0004] Patent No. 103169420B discloses a cyclone filter for a handheld vacuum cleaner, see attached Figure 4-6 As shown, the cyclone separator includes a cup body and a separation device arranged in the cup body. The separation device occupies most of the space in the cup body. At the same time, in order to increase the air intake and improve the dust and gas separation efficiency, the separation devices must be set as large as possible. In this way, more air flow cones can be set in the circumferential direction to enhance the separation efficiency and increase the air intake. However, this will cause the overall structure of the cyclone separator to be too large and the weight to increase, thereby increasing the weight of the whole machine and the volume of the whole machine, which is not in line with the market trend of lightweight cleaning appliances.

[0048] When the airflow enters the first air inlet channel 2227, it enters the first air inlet portion 2223 in a counterclockwise direction from the first air inlet channel 2227. An annular stopper 227 is provided below the lower cone 222 to cover the first cone 2224 of the lower cyclone cone 2221 and the second cone 2226 of the lower wind cone 2222. When the lower cone 222 is installed in the main body 211 of the primary separator 21, the stopper 227 is pressed downward against the upper part of the secondary ash storage portion 212 to separate the space of the secondary ash storage portion 212 from the main body 211 of the primary separator 21.

The second air inlet channel 2217 includes a pair of side walls extending circumferentially from the second air inlet 2213 and a bottom wall connecting the two side walls. The upper cyclone cone 2211 and the upper air passing cone 2212 are both configured to be open upwards. The two side walls of the second air inlet channel 2217 are arranged parallel to each other, wherein the side walls of the second air inlet channel 2217 extend tangentially and are connected to the outer wall of the second air passing portion 2215. The connecting portion 2216 of the upper air passing cone 2212 is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 2216 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second air passing portion 2215.

[0051] When the airflow enters the second air inlet channel 2217, it enters the second air inlet portion 2213 in a counterclockwise direction from the second air inlet channel 2217. A flat baffle portion 226 is provided below the lower cone 222 to fix the third cone portion 2214 of the upper cyclone cone 2211 and the connecting portion 2216 of the upper wind cone 2212 together, and extends outward around the outer periphery of the upper wind cone 2212, and the connecting portion 2216 and the third cone portion 2214 are spaced apart below the baffle portion 226.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, three upper wind cyclone cones 2211 and three upper wind passing cones 2212 are provided in the upper cone 221.

[0053] When the upper cone 221 is installed on the lower cone 222, the third cone portion 2214 extends downward into the first air passing portion 2225 and is approximately located at the center of the first air passing portion 2225, and the connecting portion 2216 extends downward into the first air inlet portion 2223 and is approximately located at the center of the first air inlet portion 2223, wherein the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 are mutually sealed by the baffle portion 226, so that each upper cyclone cone 2211 of the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 are sealed. The lower wind cones 2222 are independently sealed and connected to each other. At the same time, each upper wind cone 2212 of the upper cone 221 is independently sealed and connected to the lower cyclone cone 2221 of the lower cone 222. In order to enhance the sealing performance of the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222, a seal 224 is used for sealing. The shape and structure of the seal 224 are roughly the same as those of the baffle portion 226. The seal 224 is provided with a plurality of through holes for the third cone portion 2214 of the upper cone 221 and the connecting portion 2216 to pass through.

[0054] The cone cover 223 covers the top of the upper cone 221, and a plurality of air outlet columns extend downward from the bottom of the cone cover 223. The air outlet columns are arranged in a circular shape, and a fixed column 2231 extending downward is provided in the middle. The air outlet columns are axially arranged around the fixed column 2231, and the interior of the air outlet columns is hollow for air flow. The air outlet columns include a long air outlet column 2232 and a short air outlet column 2233. The long air outlet column 2232 extends downward beyond the short air outlet column 2233, and the long air outlet column 2232 and the short air outlet column 2233 are arranged at intervals. The top of the cone cover 223 is recessed inward to form a receiving groove 2230 for accommodating the air outlet filter HEPA 3 of the cyclone separator 100. The cone cover 223 is installed on the top of the upper cone 221, wherein The short air outlet column 2233 extends downward into the second air inlet portion 2213 and is approximately located in the center of the second air inlet portion 2213, and the long air outlet column 2232 extends downward into the second air passage portion 2215 and presses downward against the top of the connecting portion 2216, so that the long air outlet column 2232 and the connecting portion 2216 form a sealed connection. In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion 2216 shrinks downward and extends from the second air passage portion 2215 to form a step portion at the connection, and the long air outlet column 2232 presses downward against the step portion, and the outer diameter of the long air outlet column 2232 is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the lower end of the second air passage portion 2215, so that the long air outlet column 2232 is surrounded by the second air passage portion 2215 at the portion pressing against the step portion. In order to enhance the sealing performance between the upper cone 221 and the cone cover 223, a seal 225 is used for sealing. The shape and structure of the seal 225 are substantially the same as the profile of the cone cover 223. The seal 225 is provided with a plurality of through holes for the air outlet columns to pass through.

[0055] The short air outlet column 2233 extends downwardly through the second air inlet portion 2213 and partially extends downwardly into the third cone portion 2214 . The third cone portion 2214 extends downward through the first air passing portion 2225 and further extends downward partially into the second cone portion 2226, and the bottom surface of the third cone portion 2214 presses downward against the inner side wall of the inner side wall of the second cone portion 2226 extending upward, so as to achieve a sealed connection between the third cone portion 2214 and the second cone portion 2226, and the top end of the first air passing portion 2225 presses upward against the outer wall of the third cone portion 2214. When the upper cone 221, the lower cone 222 and the cone cover 223 are assembled into one, the fixing column 2231 of the cone cover 223 passes downward through the upper cone 221 and penetrates into the lower cone 222, connecting the upper cone 221, the lower cone 222 and the cone cover 223 in series, and the lower cone 222 and the fixing column 2231 are fixed to each other by screws, so as to achieve fixing the upper cone 221, the lower cone 222 and the cone cover 223 together.

[0056] After the upper cone 221, the lower cone 222 and the cone cover 223 are fixed to each other, the upper cyclone cone 2211 and the upper wind-passing cone 2212 of the upper cone 221 are arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed column 2231 at intervals, and the lower cyclone cone 2221 and the lower wind-passing cone 2222 of the lower cone 222 are also arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed column 2231 at intervals.

[0057] When the secondary separator 22 is installed on the primary separator 21, the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 of the secondary separator 22 are both received downward to the inner side of the filter screen 213 of the primary separator 21, and a space for airflow rotation is left between the filter screen 213 of the primary separator 21, and the cone cover 223 of the secondary separator 22 is covered on the upper end of the filter screen 213 of the primary separator 21, and a seal is achieved between the cone cover 223 and the upper end of the filter screen 213. The distance between the bottom of the lower cone 222 and the top of the upper cone 221 is substantially the same as the width distance of the filter screen 213 along the axis.

[0058] The circumferential maximum diameter of the upper cone 221 is substantially the same as the circumferential maximum diameter of the lower cone 222, wherein the circumferential maximum diameter of the upper cone 221 is formed by the circumferential arrangement of the second air inlet 2213 and the second air passing portion 2215, and the circumferential maximum diameter of the lower cone 222 is formed by the circumferential arrangement of the first air inlet 2223 and the first air passing portion 2225. The upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 abut against the inner circumference of the filter 213, forming a large space between the first air inlet 2223 and the second air inlet 2213 and the filter 213, so as to facilitate air flow into the first air inlet 2223 and the second air inlet 2213. The direction of the airflow when entering the primary separator 21 is consistent with the direction of the airflow entering the first and second air inlets 2223 and 2213, so as to avoid turbulence.

[0059] After the lower cone 222 and the upper cone 221 are installed in the first-stage separator 21, the first air inlet 2223 of the lower cone 222 is located at the end of the airflow guide channel 216 along the airflow inlet direction, followed by the second air inlet 2213 of the upper cone 221. The airflow guide channel 216 is arranged in sequence according to the interval order. The airflow guide channel 216 is set at a position close to the upper end of the first-stage separator 21. The airflow guide channel 216 shields the filter screen 213 at the upper end. The second air inlet 2213 of the upper cone 221 is blocked by the airflow guide channel 216. When the airflow enters the first-stage cyclone space 210, it surrounds the first-stage cyclone space 210 counterclockwise. It rotates downward to avoid being directly sucked into the second air inlet portion 2213 closest to the air flow guiding channel 216 after coming out of the air flow guiding channel 216 without any transition, wherein the angle formed by the end of the air flow guiding channel 216 and the entrance point of the first air inlet portion 2223 of the lower cone 222 to the axis X of the cup body 1 is not greater than 30 degrees, the angle formed by the end of the air flow guiding channel 216 and the entrance point of the second air inlet portion 2213 of the upper cone 221 to the axis X of the cup body 1 is not less than 45 degrees, and the angle formed between the entrance end to the end of the air flow guiding channel 216 and the axis X is not greater than 120 degrees.

[0060] Dust is sucked into the cyclone separator 100 from the air inlet 101. After the dust is cyclone filtered in the first-level cyclone space 21O, part of the dust falls on the bottom of the cup body 1 during the rotational separation process, and part of the dust passes through the filter 213 and enters the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 from the first and second air inlet parts 2223 and 2213 respectively for secondary cyclone filtration. The filtered airflow is discharged outward from the air outlet column of the cone cover 223 through the air outlet filter Haipa 3. The dust after rotation filtration by the upper cone 221 and the lower cone 222 falls downward into the secondary ash storage part 212. The lower end of the cup body 1 and the second ash storage part 212 are sealed by the bottom wall 12. When the bottom wall 12 is opened, the cup body 1 and the second ash storage part 212 are open to the outside to achieve ash dumping.

[0061] In the patent of the present invention, dust gas enters the filter screen 213 after being filtered by the primary cyclone, and simultaneously inhales the airflow through the first and second air inlet parts 2223 and 2213 which are staggered in the upper and lower directions to perform secondary cyclone separation. With such a configuration, as many air inlets as possible can be arranged in the limited circumferential space, thereby increasing the air intake volume of the secondary separator 22, improving the separation efficiency of the cyclone separator 100, and reducing the volume of the separation device 2. In this way, the overall size of the cyclone separator 100 can be reduced, which is in line with the market trend of lightweight and miniaturization. Furthermore, without reducing the size of the cup body 1, the volume of the separation device 2 can be reduced, which can increase the ash storage capacity of the cup body 1 and extend the service life of the cyclone separator 100 without frequent ash emptying.

[0062] In the present invention, the cyclone separator 100 is a device for separating dust and gas in a cleaning appliance, and its application scope is not limited to any form of cleaning appliance. Figures 16 to 19 As shown, the cyclone separator 100 can be used in handheld, gun-type, vertical, horizontal and any other forms of cleaning appliances, which will not be described in detail in this patent.

[0063] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, other modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described here. The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, and any other improvements made based on the concept of the present invention are regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
