Description

Technical Field

[0002] A vacuum cleaner is a cleaning and sanitary appliance used to remove dust from the floor, carpets, walls, furniture, clothing and various gaps. A vacuum cleaner generally includes a motor that generates suction from an imported power source, a motor air inlet that forms an air path system, a suction nozzle, a filter assembly, a dust box and a shell; the vacuum cleaner motor is the core power source of the vacuum cleaner and is responsible for driving the rotating parts inside the vacuum cleaner. When the vacuum cleaner is running, the motor drives the impeller to rotate at high speed, and after the air inside the vacuum cleaner is discharged, a negative pressure difference is formed inside the vacuum cleaner, and the dust is sucked into the dust box inside the vacuum cleaner body together with the air through the negative pressure difference. However, when the motor is exhausting, a strong airflow is generated due to the compression and push of the air by the high-speed rotating fan blades. When these airflows pass through the exhaust port, due to the shape and size restrictions of the channel, turbulence and vortices will be generated, which will then generate obvious noise. Airflow noise not only affects the user experience of the vacuum cleaner, making the vacuum cleaner make a harsh sound when working, but also may affect the quietness of the surrounding environment, posing a potential threat to the user's hearing health.
