Abstract
A multi-cyclone dust separating apparatus includes a cyclone unit and a separable filter assembly adapted to be disposed at least partially in a discharge path of the cyclone unit. The cyclone unit includes a main cyclone, a secondary cyclone adapted to be disposed at substantially a same plane as the main cyclone, and a dust collecting casing adapted to substantially surround the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone. The dust collecting casing includes a dust chamber to collect dust separated at the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone.

A multi-cyclone dust separating apparatus, comprising:
- a cyclone unit including,
- a main cyclone,
- a secondary cyclone adapted to be disposed at substantially a same plane as the main cyclone, and
- a dust collecting casing adapted to substantially surround the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone, the dust collecting casing including a dust chamber to collect dust separated at the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone;
- and
- a separable filter assembly adapted to be disposed at least partially in a discharge path of the cyclone unit at a lower side of the cyclone unit in fluid communication with the cyclone unit, and the filter assembly comprising a filter casing including a top opening and a bottom, a filter casing cover adapted to be removably mounted to the top opening, and at least one filter adapted to be disposed in the filter casing.
A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a main cleaner body;
- a suction motor adapted to be disposed at the main cleaner body;
- a cyclone unit adapted to be disposed at the main cleaner body, the cyclone unit including,
- a main cyclone,
- a secondary cyclone adapted to be disposed on substantially the same plane as the main cyclone, and
- a dust collecting casing adapted to substantially surround the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone, the dust collecting casing having a dust chamber to collect the dust separated at the main cyclone and the secondary cyclone;
- and
- a separable filter assembly disposed in a discharge path between the cyclone unit and the suction motor, and the filter assembly comprising a filter casing with a top opening and a bottom, a filter casing cover adapted to be removably mounted to the top opening, and at least one filter adapted to be disposed in the filter casing.
