The common air-dust separation structure is a filter screen, dust with different sizes in the intercepted air can be changed by adjusting the density of the filter screen, the interception effect of the dust can be improved by using the high-density filter screen, but the accumulated dust can block air holes of the filter screen and enable an air flow channel to generate larger pressure drop, so that the efficiency of the dust collector is reduced. The cyclone separation structure is used as a filtering structure with zero material consumption, and therefore people generally arrange the cyclone separation structure at the upstream of the high-density filter screen to prolong the service life of the high-density filter screen.

As shown in fig. 1, a conventional cyclone separation structure is provided, which is to make dust and air rotate at high speed in a cone-shaped cyclone cylinder, and to make the dust with higher density to be thrown outwards onto the cylinder wall and slide downwards along the cylinder wall by using the centrifugal force of rotation and to be discharged from a dust outlet at the lower part. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN101049221A discloses a cyclone separation device for a dust collector, which comprises a cyclone cylinder, wherein an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet are arranged on the cyclone cylinder, and an inner cavity of the cyclone cylinder forms a cyclone separation chamber. As can be seen from fig. 1, both the airflow outlet and the airflow inlet of the cyclone separation device are arranged at the large end of the cyclone cylinder, the airflow flowing in from the airflow inlet rotates downwards along the cylinder wall to form an outer layer rotational flow, and the outer layer rotational flow turns back upwards to flow to the airflow outlet after flowing to the cone bottom; the cyclone separation device guides airflow to form a turning flow path, the outer layer rotational flow and the inner layer rotational flow are easy to interfere, and the locally generated vortex also increases the resistance of an air duct of the cyclone separation device to a certain extent, so that the air-dust separation efficiency of the cyclone separation device is influenced.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to further reduce the resistance of an air duct of the cyclone separation device and improve the gas-dust separation efficiency, the invention provides a cyclone separation structure, which comprises a separation cone body with a truncated cone-shaped rotating cavity, wherein the upper end part of the separation cone body is a cone large end and is provided with a cut-in opening, and the cut-in opening is used for allowing external air to enter; the separation cone is characterized in that a separation blade is arranged at the lower part of the separation cone, and the separation blade is positioned at the outer side of the small port of the separation cone when viewed from the central axis direction of the rotary cavity; the separation blade has the windward side that can meet rotatory wind, and the small port edge of separation cone extends downwards to the windward side of separation blade moreover.

The separation cone is a main body part of the cyclone separation structure and is provided with a conical side wall forming the truncated conical rotary cavity, the upper end part of the separation cone is a cone large end, the lower end part of the separation cone is a cone small end, and the lower end part is provided with a small port which is a structure for enabling airflow to rotate and accelerate. Of course, the up-down direction is only used to distinguish the two ends of the separation cone, and the placing direction of the separation cone in specific application is not limited, for example, in one embodiment, the separation cone is inverted, the upper end portion is a cone small end and is provided with a small port, and the lower end portion is a cone large end and is provided with the cutting opening. Furthermore, the conical large end of the separation cone can also be provided with a section of straight cylinder wall, which facilitates the arrangement of the cutting opening on the straight cylinder wall.

Wherein the small port is an opening of the rotating cavity for discharging the airflow outwards, namely the flow path of the airflow passing through the separation cone is as follows: external wind enters from the cut-in port at the upper end part of the separation cone, the wind entering the rotating cavity rotates downwards along the side wall of the separation cone to form rotating airflow, and the rotating airflow can be discharged from the small port of the separation cone.

The baffle plate is a component for blocking dust discharged from the small port of the separation cone, because the dust and air have different densities, when the rotating airflow carries the dust to be discharged from the small port of the separation cone, the dust is thrown outwards along the tangential direction of the small port under the centrifugal action force, the baffle plate arranged at the outer side of the small port of the separation cone is just arranged on the path where the dust is thrown out, and the dust is blocked by the baffle plate and slides downwards along the windward side of the baffle plate, so that the gas-dust separation is realized.

The windward surface of the blocking piece extends downwards to form a small port edge of the separation cone, dust is thrown outwards along the tangential direction of the small port after the rotating airflow is separated from the small port of the separation cone, meanwhile, the blocking piece also moves downwards along the axial direction of the rotating cavity under the action of inertia force, and the blocking piece extends downwards adaptively to better block the dust so as to realize gas-dust separation.

The separation blade is located on the outer side of the small port of the separation cone when viewed from the central axis direction of the rotating cavity, namely the separation blade extends along the radial direction of the rotating cavity, but the projection of the separation blade along the central axis direction of the rotating cavity does not fall into the small port of the separation cone.

The windward side of the baffle plate is a surface on the baffle plate for blocking dust from moving, the windward side is changed according to the structure of the baffle plate, taking the baffle plate as a thin flat plate as an example, and the windward side refers to one side or multiple side planes of the baffle plate; when the baffle plate is in a curved plate shape or one side of the baffle plate is in a curved surface shape, the windward side refers to the curved side surface of the baffle plate. Furthermore, when one baffle is connected to the two separation cones, the front side and the back side of the baffle can be respectively used as the windward sides of the two separation cones.

According to the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial technical effects that:

firstly, wind entering from the cutting opening forms rotating wind in the rotating cavity and then carries dust to be discharged from a small port of the separation cone, rotating airflow does not need to turn back upwards, and therefore the airflow flowing path in the rotating cavity is single, compared with the prior art, the problem of eddy current caused by interference of airflow in different directions is effectively solved, airflow resistance in the rotating cavity is reduced, and the gas-dust separation efficiency is improved;

secondly, after the rotating airflow is discharged from the small port of the separation cone, dust with high density is separated from air under the centrifugal action force, and the dust is prevented by arranging the baffle plate so as to fall and be separated, so that the air-dust separation structure is simple, the separation efficiency is high, and the resistance to the airflow is small;

thirdly, the baffle is arranged at the outer side of the small port of the separation cone, which is not only beneficial to the windward side of the baffle to block the dust separated outwards, but also beneficial to the baffle not extending into the inner side of the small port of the separation cone, the baffle does not block the airflow in the middle, which is beneficial to reducing the formation of vortex at the middle part of the outer side of the small port so as to smoothly discharge the clean air.

In order to arrange the baffle plate, a further technical scheme can be that the baffle plate in a cantilever shape is connected to the side wall of the separation cone.

In order to enhance the gas-dust separation efficiency, the cyclone separation structure at least comprises one baffle plate, and when a plurality of baffle plates are arranged, the baffle plates are arranged at intervals outside the small port of the separation cone.

Of course, the shape of the structure of the baffle is various, and the following description is given in several common arrangements:

firstly, the central axis of the rotating cavity is located on a geometric plane where the windward side is located, namely, the windward side extends outwards along the diameter direction of the rotating cavity when viewed from the central axis direction of the rotating cavity, and the windward side is arranged close to the small port and can well block dust flying off along the tangent line of the small port edge.

Secondly, the central axis of the rotary cavity is parallel to the windward side of the baffle, and the minimum distance between the geometric plane where the windward side is located and the central axis of the rotary cavity is smaller than the radius of the small port. The windward side is arranged in a manner of being offset from the central axis of the rotating cavity, but the windward side is always arranged at a position close to the small port and can extend out to form a larger windward side.

And thirdly, a geometrical plane where the windward side is located passes through the small port and intersects with the central axis of the rotating cavity at a point. In the arrangement mode, the windward side is relatively close to the small port, a certain angle is formed between the central axis of the rotating cavity and the windward side, the surface area of the windward side for blocking dust can be increased, and in addition, the dust can slide to a designated collecting space along the inclined windward side, so that the air-dust separation effect is improved.

In order to fully exert the gas-dust separation characteristic of the cyclone separation structure, the invention comprises a cyclone separator applying the cyclone separation structure, which comprises a cylindrical shell, a plurality of rotary cavities are annularly arranged on the inner side of the cylindrical shell, part of the cylindrical shell forms a part of separation cones of the rotary cavities, the plurality of separation cones form a central channel in a surrounding mode, the cutting opening of each separation cone faces the outer side of the cylindrical shell, and the cyclone separator further comprises a stopper which blocks an upper end opening of each separation cone so that airflow in the rotary cavities flows downwards from a small port of each separation cone to the central channel. Wherein the cylindrical shell has an annular side wall which is used for connecting a plurality of the separation cones, and part of the side wall of the annular side wall is also used as the side wall of the separation cone to reduce the volume of the cyclone separator. Furthermore, an outer side tangential air inlet channel communicated with the cylindrical shell is further arranged on the cyclone separator, the large-end cavity of the separation cone is communicated with the tangential air inlet channel through the tangential inlet, and the tangential air inlet channel is used for providing tangential airflow for the rotating cavity. The cylindrical shell separates the tangential air inlet channel and the small port of each separation cone on the outer side and the inner side, and the cylindrical shell is matched with the stopper to block the upper port. It is to be understood that the gas-dust separation process: air outside the cylindrical shell enters the rotating cavity through the tangential air inlet channel, rotating airflow accelerated by the rotating cavity is discharged from the small port, most dust particles in the airflow are separated and fall off by the baffle, and clean air is discharged upwards through the central channel. The cyclone separator increases the cross section area of an air passing channel in a limited space by increasing the number of the separation cones, and also scientifically divides the trend of an air path and the falling direction of dust separation, so that the resistance of the air path is not increased, and the dust collection efficiency is improved.

In order to further optimize the air-dust separation air duct, in a further technical scheme, one baffle is arranged between every two adjacent separation cones, and a gap for air flow to pass through is reserved between every two adjacent baffle. The baffle plate arranged in this way is used for connecting two adjacent separating cones so as to strengthen the structural strength of the cyclone separator, and on the other hand, the baffle plate is prevented from forming separation between the small port and the central channel, so that clean air can flow to the central channel in a shorter path, and the resistance of an air duct is reduced, and the clean air and dust are mixed again.

In order to enable the blocking sheet to better block dust, in a further technical scheme, the lower end of the cylindrical shell extends out of the small port edge of the separation cone, and the blocking sheet and the cylindrical shell are arranged at intervals. A certain space distance is reserved between the blocking sheet and the cylinder shell, so that dust can move outwards for a certain distance after leaving the small port edge and then collide with the windward side of the blocking sheet to realize air-dust separation.

In order to realize more efficient gas-dust separation, the cyclone separator can be applied to a cyclone separation device, the cyclone separation device comprises a dust cup and a cup cover, an opening is formed in the upper portion of the dust cup, the cup cover is detachably covered on the opening, a cup air inlet is formed in the cup side wall of the dust cup, a cover air outlet is formed in the cup cover, the cyclone separator is arranged in the dust cup, the cup cover is further covered on the upper end portion of a separation cone of the cyclone separator to serve as a stopper to block a large port of the separation cone, the cup air inlet is communicated with a cut-in port of the separation cone, a central channel of the cyclone separator is communicated with the cover air outlet, air entering from the cup air inlet can enter the rotary cavity through the cut-in port, and air discharged from the central channel can be discharged out of the dust cup through the cover air outlet. Thus, the dust separated by the cyclone separating apparatus is stored in the dust cup, and clean air is discharged from the cover air outlet.

The cup cover 5 is detachably covered at the opening, a cover air outlet 50 is formed in the cup cover 5, and air in the cup cavity 40 can be discharged outwards from the cover air outlet 50 after being filtered. In this embodiment, the airflow entering the cup cavity 40 tangentially is generally mixed with a large amount of dust, the airflow flows along the cup sidewall 41 to form a rotating airflow, and the heavy dust slides down the bottom of the dust cup 4 along the cup sidewall 41.

The process of general gas dust separation is to separate the dust step by step from coarse to fine, for this reason still be provided with middle staving 6 in the dirt cup 4, be hopper-shaped the diameter of middle staving 6 upper portion is greater than the lower part diameter, just middle staving 6 upper portion all is uncovered form with the lower part, wherein the open connection in upper portion of middle staving 6 is in on the bowl cover 5, work as bottom 44 lid closes the bottom of dirt cup 4, the uncovered top of the lower extreme of middle staving 6 leans on bottom 44, cup lateral wall 41 and middle staving 6 form outer dust collecting cavity. Further, a perforated strainer 61 is provided on a wall body of the middle tub 6, so that air introduced from the cup inlet 42 can be introduced into the inner space of the middle tub 6 through the perforated strainer 61 after being primarily separated by rotation, and dust having a diameter size larger than the meshes of the perforated strainer 61 is intercepted in the outer dust collecting chamber.

After being filtered by the perforated screen 61, large particle dust in the airflow is intercepted, and in order to further separate small particle dust in the airflow, the cyclone separation device 1 further comprises a cyclone separator 7 arranged in the dust cup 4, and at least part of the cyclone separator 7 is arranged in the middle barrel body 6. The cyclone separator 7 separates dust in an air flow by using a centrifugal force generated when the air flow rotates, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, the cyclone separator 7 includes a cylindrical housing 71 and a plurality of separation cones 8 arranged annularly, each separation cone 8 has a rotation cavity 80, the plurality of rotation cavities 80 are arranged inside the cylindrical housing 71, wherein the cylindrical housing 71 is further connected to the plurality of separation cones 8, a part of the cylindrical housing 71 forms a part of the separation cone 8 of the rotation cavity 80, and the plurality of separation cones 8 surround to form a central channel 81. Each separating cone 8 comprises a rotary cavity 80 with a truncated cone shape, the upper end of the separating cone 8 is a cone large end and is provided with a cut-in port 82, the cut-in port 82 is used for allowing external wind to enter, the lower end of the corresponding separating cone 8 is a cone small end, and the end of the cone small end of the separating cone 8 is provided with a small port 83. Naturally, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the cut-out 82, the upper end of the separation cone 8 can also be provided with a section of a straight cylinder wall, on which the cut-out 82 is arranged. The entry opening 82 of each separation cone 8 is directed towards the outside of the cylindrical housing 71, and the small ports 83 communicate with the central channel 81. As shown in fig. 4, the cup cover 5 is further covered on the separation cone 8 of the cyclone separator 7 so as to be used as a stopper to block the large port of the separation cone 8, and the central channel 81 of the cyclone separator 7 is communicated with the cover air outlet 50.

In order to make the airflow form the rotating airflow in the rotating chamber 80, as shown in fig. 4, 9 and 10, an outer tangential air inlet channel 72 communicating with the cylindrical housing 71 is further provided on the cyclone separator 7, the large end cavity of the separating cone 8 communicates with the tangential air inlet channel 72 through the cut-in port 82, and the tangential air inlet channel 72 is used for providing the tangential airflow to the rotating chamber 80. When entering the rotating chamber 80, the airflow will flow along the side wall of the separation cone 8 and form a rotating airflow, and the airflow rotates at an accelerated speed from the large end to the small end of the separation cone 8, so that the air at the lower end of the rotating chamber 80 is primarily separated from the dust, i.e. the dust is mainly distributed at the periphery of the rotating chamber 80 and slides downwards along the inner surface of the wall body of the separation cone 8 under the action of centrifugal force, and the clean air is distributed in the middle range of the rotating chamber 80. The air flow rotating at an increased speed is finally discharged out of the rotating chamber 80 from the small port 83, but the dust discharged from the small port 83 moves to the outside and below of the small port 83 due to the centrifugal force, and the clean air discharged from the small port 83 flows to a region with relatively low air pressure, and in this embodiment, the clean air flows upwards along the central channel 81 as shown in fig. 5.

In order to further separate and collect the dust flying outward, a baffle 9 is further arranged at the lower part of the separation cone 8, and the baffle 9 is positioned outside the small port 83 of the separation cone 8 when viewed from the central axis direction of the rotating cavity 80; the baffle 9 has a windward side 91 capable of facing the rotating wind, and the windward side 91 of the baffle 9 extends downwards beyond the small port 83 edge of the separation cone 8. Wherein the shutter 9 is a member for blocking dust, which is arranged below the outside of the small port 83, just as the path of the dust movement. The windward surface 91 of the blocking piece 9 is a part of the outer surface of the blocking piece 9, and is a surface for changing the movement direction of dust, in this embodiment, the blocking piece 9 in a thin plate shape is vertically placed below the outer side of the small port 83, and the surface of the blocking piece 9 facing the dust is the windward surface 91. Of course, this also relates to the rotation direction of the airflow in the rotation chamber 80, and if the rotation direction of the airflow changes, the corresponding windward side 91 changes accordingly. Thus, the separation cone 8 and the baffle plate 9 form a cyclone separation structure, and dust flies out and hits the baffle plate 9 and then can slide down along the windward side 91.

Furthermore, at least one baffle plate 9 is arranged on one separation cone 8, and the baffle plates 9 are arranged at intervals outside the small port 83 of the separation cone 8. As shown in fig. 6 to 8, the baffle plates 9 are respectively arranged on two sides of the same separation cone 8, and the cantilever-shaped baffle plates 9 are connected to the side wall of the separation cone 8. In this embodiment, the separation cones 8 are arranged in a ring shape, and one blocking plate 9 is disposed between two adjacent separation cones 8. The flaps 9 thus arranged serve on the one hand to connect two adjacent separating cones 8 and thus to reinforce the structural strength of the cyclone separator 7; on the other hand, for a single separation cone 8, the blocking sheets 9 on both sides can play a role of dust blocking, and for a plurality of separation cones, both side surfaces of each blocking sheet 9 are the windward surfaces 91; further, a gap for airflow to pass through is reserved between two adjacent baffle plates 9, so that the baffle plates 9 are reduced to form separation between the small port 83 and the central channel 81, clean air can flow to the central channel 81 through a shorter path, and resistance of an air duct is reduced, and the clean air and dust are mixed again.

The arrangement of the blocking pieces 9 is flexible and various, and taking the blocking pieces 9 as thin flat plates and the windward side 91 as a plane as an example, the arrangement of the blocking pieces is described below through several specific embodiments:

first, as shown in fig. 11, the central axis of the rotating cavity 80 is located on the geometric plane of the windward side 91, that is, the windward side 91 extends outward along the diameter direction of the rotating cavity 80 when viewed from the central axis of the rotating cavity 80, so that the baffle 9 arranged in this way can well block dust flying out along the edge of the small port 83 by using the front side or the back side as the windward side 91.

Secondly, as shown in fig. 12, the central axis of the rotating cavity 80 is arranged parallel to the windward side 91 of the baffle plate 9, and the minimum distance between the geometric plane of the windward side 91 and the central axis of the rotating cavity 80 is smaller than the radius of the small port 83. The windward side 91 thus arranged is arranged offset from the central axis of the rotation chamber 80, but the windward side 91 arranged relatively close to the small port 83 can also better block dust flying along the edge of the small port 83.

Third, as shown in fig. 13, the geometric plane of the windward surface 91 passes through the small port 83 and intersects the central axis of the rotating chamber 80 at a point. In this arrangement, the windward side 91 is relatively close to the small port 83, and the central axis of the rotary cavity 80 forms a certain angle with the windward side 91, so that the surface area of the windward side 91 can be increased to a certain extent to block more dust, and in addition, the dust can slide to a designated collection space along the inclined windward side 91, which is beneficial to improving the gas-dust separation effect.

Of course, the above description has been given only by taking the windward side 91 as a plane, but in actual application, the windward side 91 may be provided to have a certain curved surface shape according to an actual application environment.

In order to collect dust better, according to a further technical scheme, the lower end of the cylindrical shell 71 extends out of the small port 83 edge of the separation cone 8, and the lower end edge of the cylindrical shell 71 is connected with the upper barrel wall of the middle barrel body 6, so that the cylindrical shell 71 and the lower barrel wall of the middle barrel body 6 form a middle dust collecting cavity, and the cylindrical shell 71 and the upper barrel wall of the middle barrel body 6 form a middle channel. In order to ensure the gas-dust separation effect, the baffle plate 9 is arranged at a distance from the cylinder shell.

In order to further improve the cleanliness of the air discharged from the cyclone separation device 1, a further technical scheme is that the cyclone separation device further comprises a high-density filter screen 51 arranged on the cup cover 5, and the air discharged from the cup cover air outlet 50 flows to the air suction opening of the motor assembly 3 after being filtered by the high-density filter screen 51.

In summary, it can be understood that the gas-dust separation process is as follows: the air with dust enters from the dust suction port of the dust suction head 2 and flows along the connecting pipe 21 to the cup tangential channel 43 of the cyclonic separating apparatus 1, and the air enters from the cup air inlet 42 into the cup chamber 40; the air passes through the perforated strainer 61 on the middle tub 6, and dust having a diameter size larger than the mesh of the perforated strainer 61 is caught in the outer dust collecting chamber. The air passing through the perforated strainer 61 flows along the intermediate passage to the tangential air inlet passage 72, the air enters the rotary chamber 80 through the inlet 82 and then undergoes an accelerated rotary flow, the rotary air flow is discharged from the small port 83, most of the dust particles in the air flow are separated and blocked by the baffle plate, and the dust falls into the intermediate dust collecting chamber. Further, air flows upwardly through the central passageway 81, through the lid outlet 50, and is further filtered by the high density screen 51. Finally, the clean air is drawn out of the external space through the motor assembly. The gas-dust separation structure arranged in the way is also scientific in dividing the gas path trend and classifying and concentrating dust on one hand, and is beneficial to both gas-dust separation efficiency and prolonging the service life of the filter element; on the other hand, the cyclone separator 7 further optimizes the gas-dust separation structure, effectively reduces the air duct resistance and improves the gas-dust separation effect.

The up-down direction defined by the separation cone 8 in the above embodiment is only an illustrative way for easy understanding, and in practical applications, the separation cone 8 may also be inverted. As shown in fig. 14, another arrangement of the cyclone separator 7 is schematically illustrated, a middle barrel body 6 is disposed in the dirt cup 4, the cyclone separation structure is disposed in the middle barrel body 6, the cyclone separation structure includes the inverted separation cone 8 and the baffle 9, the lower end portion of the separation cone 8 is a large end and is disposed with the cut-in port 82, the upper end portion of the separation cone 8 is a small end and is disposed with the small port 83 for air outlet, the baffle 9 is disposed outside the small port 83 on the upper portion of the separation cone 8, and the windward surface 91 of the baffle 9 extends upward beyond the small port 83 of the separation cone 8. When the rotating air flow is discharged from the small port 83, the dust moves upward outside the small port 83 and collides with the baffle plate 9 to slide down and separate, while the clean air flows upward and is discharged upward through the cover air outlet 50.
