A vacuum cleaner generally includes a dust collection cup and a suction assembly. A filtering structure is provided in the dust collection cup. Under the suction of the suction assembly, dust is sucked into the dust collection cup, and air-dust separation is achieved through the filtering structure.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN218165180U discloses a dust collection device for a surface cleaner, including a dust cup and a cup cover provided at the rear end of the dust cup. A cyclone separator cooperating with the cup cover is provided in the dust cup. The cyclone separator is provided with an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder.

The inner cylinder extends into the outer cylinder, and the cavity of the inner cylinder communicates with the first air outlet. The dust cup is provided with an air inlet communicating with the cavity of the inner cylinder, and the cup cover is provided with a second air outlet. The dust collection air flow flowing out from the first air outlet passes through the filtering part and then is discharged from the second air outlet of the dust collection device. The above setting of the prior art enables the air sucked into the dust collection device to be discharged after being filtered by the filtering part provided on the outer cylinder, and its filtering effect is poor.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a dust collection device and a vacuum cleaner aiming at the defects and deficiencies of the prior art, so that the dust collection air flow entering the dust cup is discharged after being filtered twice, the filtering effect is improved, and it is beneficial to extend the service life of the filtering component.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] The utility model provides a dust collection device, including a dust cup, and a cyclone separator is provided in the dust cup; the cyclone separator includes a wind guiding cylinder, a filtering cover and a wind cover. The air inlet of the dust cup communicates with the first end port of the wind guiding cylinder. A side air outlet is provided on the outer wall of the second end of the wind guiding cylinder; the filtering cover is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the first end of the wind guiding cylinder; the wind cover is arranged on the wind guiding cylinder, the wind cover is arranged in the air outlet of the dust cup, and a filtering component is arranged in the wind cover; a first dust collection cavity is formed between the outer wall of the filtering cover, the outer wall of the wind cover and the inner wall of the dust cup. A second dust collection cavity is formed between the inner wall of the filtering cover and the outer wall of the wind guiding cylinder, and the second dust collection cavity communicates with the wind cover.

[0008] Through the above structural arrangement, the dust collection air flow sequentially passes through the air guide cylinder and the side air outlet and flows into the first dust collection cavity. The dust collection air flow is discharged from the side air outlet and impacts the inner wall of the dust cup, thereby rotating around the inner wall to form a cyclone air flow, which is beneficial to improving the air-dust separation effect. Then, after being filtered by the filter cover for the first time, it sequentially enters the second dust collection cavity and the air hood, and finally is discharged from the dust cup after being filtered by the filter component in the air hood for the second time, which is beneficial to improving the filtering effect and prolonging the service life of the filter component.

[0009] According to the above solution, a wind guiding plate spirally surrounding the outer wall of the air guide cylinder is formed on the bottom surface of the air hood. A cyclone passage is formed between the wind guiding plate and the inner wall of the dust cup, and the side air outlet is located in the cyclone passage.

[0010] Through the above structural arrangement, the flow rate of the air flow discharged from the side air outlet is increased, which is beneficial to improving the separation speed of the air flow in the first dust collection cavity.

[0011] According to the above solution, a baffle for allowing the air flow at the side air outlet to enter the cyclone passage is provided at the inlet end of the cyclone passage; the baffle is formed on the air hood.

[0012] According to the above solution, the air inlet of the dust cup is communicated with the first end port of the air guide cylinder through an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is arranged inside the dust cup, and the first end of the air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the dust cup.

[0013] According to the above solution, the filter cover includes an upper cover and a cover cylinder. The upper cover is fixed on the cover cylinder. The upper cover is provided with a through hole, and a sealing ring is arranged in the through hole.

[0015] According to the above solution, a plurality of grille pieces are provided on the circumference of the cover cylinder.

[0016] Through the above structural arrangement, when the cyclone air flow rotates and flows through the grille pieces, the air flow impacts the grille pieces, so that large-sized dust is isolated by the grille pieces in the first dust collection cavity, preventing large-sized dust from passing through the second dust collection cavity and the air hood, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the filter component.

[0017] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the filter cover can be set as a filter mesh cover according to actual needs; or the filter cover is set to include a cover body, and filter holes are provided on the circumference of the cover body.

[0019] Through the above structural arrangement, the cyclone separator is quickly positioned and installed in the dust cup by the cooperation of the convex ring and the limiting shoulder; at this time, the second end of the air inlet pipe abuts against the lower side of the sealing ring, so that the air inlet pipe is communicated with the air guide cylinder; when the cyclone separator is taken out of the dust cup, the cyclone separator can be disconnected from the air inlet pipe, which is convenient for cleaning the cyclone separator.

[0020] According to the above solution, a peripheral edge that extends obliquely away from the cyclone separator is provided on the outer periphery of the upper cover.

[0021] By providing the peripheral edge on the upper cover, the peripheral edge can block the dust accumulated at the lower part of the dust cup, and can prevent the accumulated dust from flowing towards the upper part of the dust cup under the action of the dust collection air flow, which is beneficial to improving the dust collection effect.

[0022] According to the above solution, the filter assembly includes a filter element holder, a filter element and a seal. The filter element is fixed on the filter element holder, and the filter element holder abuts against the wind cover; the seal is provided on the outer periphery of the filter element holder, and the seal abuts against the inner side wall of the air outlet of the dust cup.

[0023] Through the above structural arrangement, the sealing performance between the filter assembly and the air outlet of the dust cup is improved, effectively ensuring that the air flow entering the wind cover is discharged from the dust cup only after being filtered by the filter assembly.

[0024] It can be understood that the filter element can be set as a HEPA filter element, a filter paper cylinder, etc. according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] Furthermore, a surrounding edge 26 extending obliquely away from the cyclone separator 2 is arranged on the outer periphery of the upper cover 221.

[0050] By arranging the surrounding edge 26 on the upper cover 221, the surrounding edge 26 can block the dust accumulated at the lower part of the dust cup 1, preventing the accumulated dust from flowing towards the upper part of the dust cup 1 under the action of the dust collection air flow, which is beneficial to improving the dust collection effect.
