Abstract
A cyclone dust collecting apparatus includes a cyclone body mounted on a telescopic extension pipe of a vacuum cleaner, a cyclone cover and a dust receptacle. The cyclone cover has a cylindrical cover body, one end of which is closed, and a first contaminants path communicating with a first through hole. The dust receptacle is removably coupled to the cyclone cover and has a cylindrical collecting body and a second contaminants path, which communicates with the first contaminants path. The cyclone dust collecting apparatus has a consistently high dust collecting efficiency, regardless of the cleaning position of the vacuum cleaner, and prevents damage to a grill and contamination of the environment.
Claims9
A cyclone dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner having a telescopic extension pipe, the cyclone dust collecting apparatus comprising:
- a cyclone body mounted on the telescopic extension pipe of the vacuum cleaner for inducing air and contaminants into a vortex;
- a cyclone cover coupled to the cyclone body for separating contaminants from the air by centrifugal force, a cyclone cover including a cylindrical cover body and a first contaminants path, the cylindrical cover body having an open end and a closed end and a first through hole formed in a wall of the cover body proximate the closed end, the first contaminants path communicating with the first through hole;
- and
- a dust receptacle in communication with the first through hole, the dust receptacle including a cylindrical collecting body having an open end and a closed end, and a second contaminants path formed on an outer wall of the open end, the second contaminants path corresponding to the first contaminants path.
A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a cleaner body;
- a suction brush coupled to the cleaner body via a telescopic extension pipe and a flexible hose;
- and
- a cyclone dust collecting apparatus mounted to the telescopic extension pipe including:
- a cyclone body for inducing air and contaminants into a vortex;
- a cyclone cover coupled to the cyclone body, the cyclone cover including a cylindrical cover body and a first contaminants path, the cover body having an open end and a closed end and a first through holed formed in a wall of the cover body proximate the closed end, the first contaminants path communicating with the first through hole;
- and
- a dust receptacle removably coupled to the cyclone cover, the dust receptacle including a cylindrical collecting body having an open end and a closed end, and a second contaminants path in communication with the first contaminants path.
