Abstract
A wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner is provided. The wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner includes a first separating unit configured to filter out and discharge dust by rotating air which is inlet via a first air inlet, and a plurality of a second centrifugal separating units configured to filter out dust from the air which is discharged from the first separating unit, and configured to eliminate dust from the inlet air via water which is filled inside of the second centrifugal separating units.
Claims18
A wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner, the apparatus comprising:
- a first separating unit configured to filter out and discharge dust by rotating air which is inlet via a first air inlet, the first separating unit comprising an upper portion in which air circulates and a lower portion in which water circulates, wherein an interior wail of the upper portion comprises a horizontal cross-section that is narrower than a horizontal cross-section of an interior wall of the lower portion;
- an overflow prevention which protrudes from the interior wall of the lower portion and which prevents water that rises up the interior wall of the lower portion due to centrifugal force from contacting air in the upper portion;
- and
- a plurality of a second centrifugal separating units configured to filter out dust from the air which is discharged from the first separating unit, and configured to remove dust from the inlet air via water which is filled inside of the second centrifugal separating units.
A wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner, the apparatus comprising:
- a first centrifugal separating pipe which forms a first centrifugal separating region which filters out dust by rotating air which is inlet via a first air inlet;
- a first dust container which forms a lower portion of a first wet type dust collecting region which collects dust which is filtered out in the first centrifugal separating region with water;
- an overflow prevention which protrudes from an interior wall of first dust container and which prevents water that rises up the interior wall of the first dust container due to centrifugal force from contacting air in the first centrifugal separating pipe;
- and
- a first separating unit which provides a first discharge pipe unit configured to discharge air which is inlet from an outside and where dust is filtered out in the first centrifugal separating region to an outside of the first centrifugal separating pipe and the first dust container,
- wherein a horizontal cross-section of an interior wall of the first centrifugal separating pipe is smaller than a horizontal cross-section of the interior wall of the first dust container.
A wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner, the apparatus comprising:
- a first separating unit configured to filter out and discharge dust by rotating air which is inlet via a first air inlet, the first separating unit comprising an upper portion in which air circulates and a lower portion in which water circulates, wherein an interior wall of the upper portion comprises a horizontal cross-section that is narrower than a horizontal cross-section of an interior wall of the lower portion;
- an overflow prevention which protrudes from the interior wall of the lower portion and which prevents water that rises up the interior wall of the lower portion due to centrifugal force from contacting air in the upper portion;
- and
- a second centrifugal separating unit configured to filter out dust in the air which is discharged from the first separating unit,
- wherein the air which is inlet into the second centrifugal separating unit is inlet into a lower portion of a center of the second centrifugal separating unit, and directly contacts the water by being discharged and rotated on a position which is equal to height of filled water so that dust is eliminated.
