Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention of a cyclone type dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner will be described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a vacuum cleaner having a cyclone type dust collecting apparatus in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] Referring to FIG. 1, the vacuum cleaner includes a body 1, a suction brush 5 that is connected to the body 1 through a connecting tube 2 and a connecting hose 3, and a cyclone type dust collecting device 7.

[0016] The cleaner body 1 includes a dust collecting chamber 1a, in which the cyclone dust collecting device 7 is nested, and a motor driving chamber (not shown), in which a motor (not shown) is nested. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the motor driving chamber and the dust collecting chamber 1a communicate with each other through an air passage tube 4. The motor generates a stron...

Abstract

A cyclone type dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner includes a cyclone body having a cylindrical shape, open upper and lower ends and a contaminant outlet. Air and contaminants are drawn into the cyclone body through one open end of the cyclone body. The contaminants are separated from the air by centrifugal force and are discharged through the contaminant outlet, which is located proximate the other open end of the cyclone body. The apparatus further includes a contaminant receptacle for collecting the contaminants that have been discharged from the cyclone body. The contaminant receptacle has open upper and lower ends and surrounds the cyclone body. A base member is connected to and closes the lower end of the cyclone body and the contaminant receptacle, and a cover is removably connected to the upper end of the cyclone body and the contaminant receptacle. The cover includes an air inlet and an air outlet, both of which communicate with the cyclone body. The cover further includes a contaminant separating grill that has a plurality of fine holes. The grill extends downward from the air outlet and into the cyclone body. The apparatus further includes a partition that is disposed between the cyclone body and the contaminant receptacle for restricting the movement of the contaminants in the contaminant receptacle.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a cyclone type dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner that separates by centrifugal force contaminants from the air that is drawn into the vacuum cleaner.[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art[0004] Generally, a vacuum cleaner, such as an upright-type vacuum cleaner or the like, has a suction brush that is connected to the body of the vacuum cleaner and moves along on the cleaning surface. The body of the vacuum cleaner includes a dust collecting chamber, in which a dust filter is detachably mounted, and a motor driving chamber, in which a motor for generating the suction force is mounted. The suction force draws air and any dust or dirt on the cleaning surface into the cleaner body. The air is discharged from the cleaner after passing through the dust filter that is disposed in the dust collecting chamber of the cleaner body. The various contaminants in the ...
