Description

Cyclonic separating apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to Cyclonic separating apparatus.The present invention concrete but and not exclusively to being used in vacuum cleaner Cyclonic separating apparatus.
Background technology
It is known that vacuum cleaner is used for collecting dust and dirt, but it is also known that the dry and wet two of liquid can be collected Variant vacuum cleaner.Typically, vacuum cleaner is it is contemplated that use in living environment, but they can also be such as Other environment such as building site or garden use.Generally, they are with electric power as power, thus include: motor;Defeated with motor The fan that shaft connects;Entrance for air pollution;Outlet for clean air;And (be also possible to for dust, dirt For liquid) collection chamber.Electric power for motor can be provided by mains supply, vacuum cleaner in this case To also include power line;By can be removed and the offer of removable set of cells;Or by one or more built-in rechargeable batteries There is provided, in this case vacuum cleaner also include such as plug or electric contact etc. some for by vacuum cleaner and charging The device that unit couples together.When providing electric power from one of these power supplys to vacuum cleaner, motor driven fan, thus Via collection chamber, air pollution is drawn into clean air outlet along air flow path by dirty air inlet.Fan is usual For centrifugal fan, although it can be impeller or propeller.
Some also it is being attached to for by the dust of entrained with in air pollution and dirt along some position of air flow path The device that thing (being also likely to be liquid) is separated and they is deposited in collection chamber.This separation device of sewage discharge can include Bag filter, one or more filter and/or Cyclonic separating apparatus.
In the case of separation device of sewage discharge includes bag filter, entered vacuum cleaner by dirty air inlet Air pollution through bag filter.Dust and the contamination filtrating of air pollution entrained with out and are collected in pocket type mistake by this In filter.Filtered material is stayed in bag filter, and bag filter is arranged in collection chamber.Then, clean air Through the opposite side of bag filter and through the grid in collection chamber under the effect of fan.Fan suction and discharge sky Gas, then, air passes the clean air outlet of vacuum cleaner from fan.
Bag filter is constantly present dust and the dirt little risk through bag filter, and it would not be desirable that allows Dust and dirt by fan and cause damage.In order to reduce this potential problem, it is usually provided with the lattice crossing over collection chamber The fine cleaner of grid, to remove through any fine dust remaining in the air-flow of bag filter and dirt particle.This is Well-known forward fan filter.
Once in a while, in addition to forward fan filter, it was provided with before the downstream of fan, air-flow leave vacuum cleaner High efficiency particulate air filter.This is the superfine small particle in order to remove any remnants, and but it will not damage fan or motor may Domestic environment is harmful to.Term " filter efficiency " relates to the relative size of the particulate matter removed by filter.Such as, with poor efficiency mistake Filter is compared, and high efficiency particulate air filter can remove less particulate matter from air-flow.HEPA filter is to remove a diameter of 0.3 Micron (μm) and the high efficiency particulate air filter of less superfine small particle.
The purposes of bag filter is to filter the dust and dirt that are entrained in dirty airflow the material that will filter out receipts Collection is in bag filter.This can little by little block bag filter.Through vacuum cleaner air volume flow rate gradually Ground reduces, and the ability of vacuum cleaner pickup dust and dirt correspondingly reduces.Therefore, before bag filter becomes full And the performance of vacuum cleaner become unacceptable before, need to change bag filter.The volume of collection chamber must foot Enough big, the cost regularly replaced with worth bag filter.
Upright vacuum cleaners is generally of vertical main body, and this vertical main body has separation device of sewage discharge, motor and wind Fan unit, be positioned at the handle at top and be positioned at a pair support wheel of bottom.Cleaner head it has been pivotably mounted, clearly in main body Clean device head has the dirty air inlet towards ground.Drum type brake vacuum cleaner is generally of cylindrical-shaped main body, this cylindrical shape Main body has separation device of sewage discharge, motor and fan unit and is positioned at the support the handled wheel of lower section.There is cleaner head Flexible hose connect with main body.Bag filter is generally used for the upright vacuum cleaners as segregation apparatus and drum type brake is true Empty cleaner, carries this is because the main body of upright vacuum cleaners and drum type brake vacuum cleaner has sufficiently large collection chamber It is used for accommodating bag filter for inner space.
In the case of separation device of sewage discharge includes filter, entered the dirt of vacuum cleaner by dirty air inlet Turbid air through filter.Filtered material out and is stayed position by dust and the contamination filtrating of air pollution entrained with by this In the collection chamber of the upstream side of filter.Sometimes, filter has additionally arranged sponge, in order to absorb entrained with in dirty airflow Any liquid.Then, under the effect of fan, clean air is through the opposite side of filter, and then, air passes from fan The clean air outlet of vacuum cleaner.
