Cyclone Dust Collector Grille Cleaning for Suction Force Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cyclone dust collectors in vacuum cleaners face issues with reduced suction force due to dust accumulation on the grille portion, requiring manual removal which is inconvenient and can lead to secondary contamination.
Innovation Solution
A cyclone dust collector with a separable grille assembly and a cleaning portion that protrudes from the case, allowing for easy removal of dust without manual intervention, preventing secondary contamination and maintaining hygiene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If air through holes are formed in the grille portion, then dust particles of a predetermined size or larger cannot be discharged through the outlet part, but dust adheres to the outer circumferential surface of the grille portion causing suction force reduction
Solution Approach 1:
The cyclone dust collector is divided into separable components: the cyclone chamber assembly and the grille assembly. This segmentation allows the grille assembly to be easily removed and cleaned separately, addressing the dust accumulation problem while maintaining the filtration function of the air through holes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables preliminary cleaning action by designing the grille assembly to be easily separable and cleanable. Users can remove and clean the grille assembly before dust accumulation significantly impacts suction performance, preventing rather than just reacting to the problem.
2Reliability
If manual removal of dust from the grille portion is required, then dust can be removed, but user convenience is reduced and secondary contamination may occur
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the cyclone dust collector into separable assemblies (cyclone chamber and grille assembly), the patent enables easy access to the grille portion for cleaning. The grille assembly can be removed as a complete unit and cleaned separately, greatly improving user convenience compared to manual cleaning of a fixed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows users to easily perform maintenance themselves by simply separating the grille assembly and rinsing it with water. This self-service capability eliminates the need for specialized cleaning tools or procedures, enhancing ease of operation.
3Device complexity
If the cyclone dust collector uses a fixed grille assembly, then structural simplicity is maintained, but dust accumulation on the grille portion cannot be easily removed
Solution Approach 1:
The cyclone dust collector is divided into separable components: the cyclone chamber assembly and the grille assembly. This segmentation allows the grille assembly to be easily removed and cleaned separately, addressing the dust accumulation problem while maintaining the filtration function of the air through holes.
