[0025] Specifically, the inner cavity of the vacuum cleaner 100 extends with a sewage inlet pipe 110, and the main body of the air guide cover 200 extends with an air inlet duct 210. The bottom of the air inlet duct 210 is the air inlet end, which is plugged into the sewage inlet pipe 110 and sleeved with a sealing ring to form a sealed connection; one side of the air guide cover 200 covers one side of the filter element 300, and the upper part of the inner cavity of the filter element 300 is separated with an air outlet duct 310, and one end of the air outlet duct 310 is connected to the outlet end of the air inlet duct 210, and the outlet of the air outlet duct 310 is located on the other side of the filter element 300, and a filter cartridge 320 is axially extended on this side, and a filter grille 321 is provided on the outer periphery of the filter cartridge 320, and the filter grilles 321 are spirally distributed, and the spiral The direction is consistent with the wind direction of the cyclone after the air is discharged from the air outlet 310, thereby effectively preventing large particles of dirt from entering the inner cavity of the filter element 300; the outlet of the air outlet 310 is located on the upper side of the filter cartridge 320, and after the air is discharged, it is cycloned along the cyclone cavity formed by the side wall of the filter cartridge 320 and the filter element 300, and then filtered by the filter grille 321 and enters the inner cavity of the filter element 300 from the filter cartridge 310; in this embodiment, since the air inlet duct 210 and the air outlet duct 310 are connected to form a separated air duct, the air inlet and the air outlet are not easy to affect each other and reduce the filtering efficiency.
