Cyclone Dust Collector With Simultaneous Fine-Dust Discharge
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vacuum cleaners lack convenience in the dust discharge process, often scattering dust or requiring complex procedures, as they fail to effectively separate and discharge large and fine dust simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A dust collector with separate first and second dust storing units, utilizing cyclones for separation, and a compression device that rotates to compress dust, allowing simultaneous discharge through a lower cover part that opens both units in the same direction, preventing scattering and simplifying the discharge process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If dust is discharged from a single dust container, then the discharge process is simple, but dust may be scattered to unexpected places and the discharge control is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The dust container is divided into two separate compartments: a first dust container for collecting large dust particles and a second dust container for collecting fine dust particles. This segmentation allows independent control and discharge of different dust types, preventing scattering while maintaining operational simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single dust container is used, then the device structure is simple, but the ability to separate and discharge different dust types is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The dust container is segmented into two distinct compartments with separate discharge mechanisms. The first dust container stores large particles and the second stores fine particles, allowing versatile discharge options while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The second dust container is positioned within or adjacent to the first dust container, creating a nested or integrated structure. This nesting approach increases functional versatility without significantly increasing the overall device footprint or structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If dust is compressed, then the discharge volume is reduced and control is improved, but the compression mechanism adds complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The compression device incorporates a rotatable component that can dynamically adjust the compression force applied to the dust in the first dust container. This dynamic mechanism allows flexible control of dust compression while maintaining a relatively simple structural design.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables easy and simultaneous discharge of both large and fine dust, reducing the likelihood of dust being scattered to unexpected places and simplifying the user's experience by compressing dust for controlled release.

AI summary
A dust collector disclosed herein includes a first dust storing unit to collect dust firstly-separated from air by a first cyclone, a second dust storing unit to collect fine dust secondly-separated from the air by second cyclones located above the first cyclone, a lower cover part coupled to a first dust container to form a bottom surface of the first dust storing unit and the second dust storing unit, and rotatable based on the hinge to simultaneously open the first and second dust storing units, such that the dust and the fine dust are simultaneously discharged, and a compression device rotatably connected to the lower cover part so as to rotate in a reciprocating manner to compress the dust collected in the first dust storing unit.
