Abstract
A multi-cyclone dust collection apparatus is disclosed that comprises a first cyclone having an air inlet, in which the air introduced into the first cyclone through the air inlet is caused to swirl and ascend in the first cyclone so that dust is separated from the air; and a plurality of second cyclones arranged around the lower part of the first cyclone, in which the air discharged from the first cyclone into the second cyclones is further caused to swirl and ascend so that dust is separated from the air. Each of the second cyclones is provided with an air outlet through which the purified air is discharged. The air inflow port is provided at the bottom of the first cyclone and the outflow ports are provided at the lower ends of the second cyclones.
Claims11
A multi-cyclone dust collection apparatus comprising:
- a multi-cyclone body having an air inflow port provided at the lower part of the multi-cyclone body so as to allow ambient air flow into the multi-cyclone body, a first cyclone body communicated with the air inflow port, and a second cyclone body provided with a plurality of second cyclones arranged around the first cyclone body;
- a sealing cover joined to the top end of the cyclone body so as to close the multi-cyclone body;
- an inflow/outflow guide cover joined to the bottom of the multi-cyclone body, the first cyclone body and the plurality of second cyclones being communicated with each other by the inflow/outflow guide cover;
- and
- a discharge cover jointed to the lower end of the inflow/outflow guide cover so as to collect the air discharged from the plurality of second cyclones through the inflow/outflow guide cover and then so as to discharge the collected air to the outside of the multi-cyclone dust collection apparatus.
A multi-cyclone dust collection apparatus comprising:
- a first cyclone having an inlet, through which ambient air is introduced into the first cyclone, in which the air introduced into the first cyclone is caused to swirl and ascend in the first cyclone so that dust is separated from the air;
- and
- a plurality of second cyclones arranged around the lower part of the first cyclone, in which the air discharged from the first cyclone into the plurality of second cyclones is further caused to swirl and ascend so that dust is separated from the air, each of the plurality of second cyclones having an outlet, through which the purified air is discharged from the plurality of second cyclones,
- wherein the inlet is provided at the bottom of the first cyclone and the air outlets, are provided at the lower ends of the second cyclones so that the ambient air is introduced into the first cyclone through the bottom of the first cyclone and then the purified air is discharged from the plurality of second cyclones through the lower ends of the plurality of second cyclones.
