Abstract
Provided is a multi-cyclone apparatus for a vacuum cleaner with a high dust collection efficiency. The multi-cyclone apparatus has a primary cyclone separating a large-sized contaminant from air drawn in via an air inlet, a guide vane formed under the air inlet in the primary cyclone to increase a speed of air drawn into the primary cyclone, a primary contaminant receptacle collecting a contaminant separated by the primary cyclone, a plurality of secondary cyclones fluidly communicated with the primary cyclone to separate a fine contaminant from drawn-in air, and a secondary contaminant receptacle collecting the contaminant separated by the secondary cyclones.
Claims18
A multi-cyclone apparatus for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a primary cyclone separating a large-sized contaminant from air drawn in via an air inlet;
- a guide vane formed under the air inlet in the primary cyclone to increase a speed of air drawn into the primary cyclone;
- a primary contaminant receptacle collecting a contaminant separated by the primary cyclone;
- a plurality of secondary cyclones fluidly communicated with the primary cyclone to separate a fine contaminant from drawn-in air;
- and
- a secondary contaminant receptacle collecting the contaminant separated by the secondary cyclones.
A multi-cyclone apparatus for a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a primary cyclone having an air inlet for drawn-in air and forming a first rotative stream in the drawn-in air;
- a guide vane under the air inlet to increase a speed of the first rotative stream;
- and
- a plurality of secondary cyclones fluidly communicated with the primary cyclone, said plurality of secondary cyclones each forming a second rotative stream in the drawn-in air.
