The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cyclonic separation, and in particular to a cyclonic separator and a cleaning appliance.
Cleaning appliances with cyclonic separating apparatus, such as vacuum cleaners, are known in the prior art. Generally, in a cyclonic vacuum cleaner, air carrying dirt and dust enters a first cyclonic separator through a tangential inlet, and the dirt is separated under the action of a centrifugal force into a collecting cavity. Cleaner air flows out from the collecting cavity to enter a second cyclonic separator which can separate finer dirt, dust and other particles compared with the first cyclonic separator. The existing second cyclonic separator mainly includes a cyclonic separating drum and an overflow drum. There is a suitable space between the cyclonic separating drum and the overflow drum so that dust-containing gas forms a rotating airflow zone therebetween, and particles with large mass are thrown towards a drum wall under the action of a centrifugal force. The gas forms a vortex, flows to an inner drum with a lower pressure, and finally is discharged upward from the overflow drum, which plays a role in dust removal and purification.
Existing vacuum cleaners with two-stage cyclonic separation mainly focus on how to improve separation effects of dust particles from air. For example, a vacuum cleaner is disclosed in a Chinese patent (publication No. CN105030148A, published on Nov. 11, 2015), and a cyclonic separating apparatus is disclosed in a Chinese patent (publication No. CN101816537, published on Sep. 1, 2010). However, the inventor found that although the existing two-stage cyclonic separation can effectively improve the separation effects of dust from air, a cyclonic separating drum of a downstream cyclonic separating assembly accumulates a large amount of dust, and there is also dust accumulation outside the overflow drum. The main reason is that the separated dust is difficult to be discharged only by its own gravity to a dust outlet, resulting in accumulation of a large amount of dust in a cyclonic separating outer drum and further a possibility of back mixing and diffusion to escape to the outside of the overflow drum. Therefore, how to discharge the particles separated timely and quickly to the dust outlet is a technical problem in the prior art.
In order to solve the above problem, the present disclosure provides a cyclonic separator and a cleaning appliance.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions.
A cyclonic separator includes as follows.
The cyclonic separating drum having an upper side edge that communicates with a tangential air duct. Through the tangential air duct, air with particles is guided to form an airflow that is consistent with a direction of the tangential air duct and then tangentially enters the cyclonic separating drum to form a rotating airflow.
The centripetal force redirecting duct is arranged in an upper portion of the cyclonic separating drum and communicating with the tangential air duct, such that after the rotating airflow enters the centripetal force redirecting duct, a direction of a centripetal force of the rotating airflow is changed to above a side of a direction of a support force of a drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, the centripetal force redirecting duct is a spirally extending curved duct having an spiral rise angle λ that is greater than a half cone angle a of an inverted cone drum of the cyclonic separating drum.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, a lead of the curved duct is set to be less than one.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, the curved duct is set to have at least ¼ lead.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, further comprising an overflow drum which is coaxially arranged in the upper portion of the cyclonic separating drum and serves as an exhaust outlet. The curved duct is located in a region between the cyclonic separating drum and the overflow drum.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, the curved duct is arranged on the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum or the curved duct is arranged on an outer wall of the overflow drum.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, the tangential air duct has an airflow guide path.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, two side walls of the tangential air duct or extension surfaces of the tangential air duct are respectively tangent to the cyclonic separating drum and the overflow drum.
As a preferred embodiment of the cyclonic separator provided by the present disclosure, an entrance of the curved duct corresponds to an extending region of the tangential air duct.
A cleaning appliance includes a cyclonic separating apparatus having at least one abovementioned cyclonic separator.
The cyclonic separator of the present disclosure guides the air with particles to form the airflow consistent with the direction of the tangential air duct, and then the airflow tangentially enters the cyclonic separating drum to form the rotating airflow. Then, by the centripetal force redirecting duct communicating with the tangential air duct, the direction of the centripetal force of the rotating airflow is changed to above the side of the direction of the support force of the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum after the rotating airflow enters the centripetal force redirecting duct.
When the airflow is rotating, the particles in the airflow only suffer from the support force (a resultant force) provided by one drum wall in the case of ignoring the influence of gravity. Due to the presence of rotating motion, the support force (the resultant force) is inevitably decomposed into a centripetal force (a first component) perpendicular to a rotating axis and the other second component. In order to ensure the decomposition balance of the resultant force, the first component force and the second component force need to exist on both sides of the support force (the resultant force) to ensure the decomposition balance of the resultant force. By the centripetal force redirecting duct such that the direction of the centripetal force of the rotating airflow deflects from an original direction perpendicular to the rotating axis and forms an upward included angle with the direction of the support force FN of the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum, that is, the direction of the centripetal force (the first component force) of the rotating airflow is changed to above the side of the direction of the support force of the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum, and the direction of the second component force in balance with the centripetal force (the first component force) is adjusted to be downward, which is conductive to making the particles flow to the outside of the dust discharge port under the traction of the downward component force (the second component force). Therefore, the cyclonic separator of the present invention combines the tangential air duct with the centripetal force redirecting duct, which can effectively discharge the separated particles to the outside of the dust discharge port timely and quickly, not only solve the technical problem described in the above background, but also avoid the possibility of back mixing and diffusion caused by the accumulated particles, and meanwhile, ensure that the cyclonic separating drum is in the clean state without dust accumulation to help to improve the separation and purification effect and prolong the service life.
If there is no centripetal force redirecting duct, the direction of the centripetal force (the first component force F1′) of the rotating airflow does not change, i.e., below the direction of the support force of the drum wall, then according to the decomposition balance of the resultant force, the second component force F2′ in balance with the first component force F1′ is always upwards, then the particles does not suffer from any acting force for being discharged from the cyclonic separating drum, and the particles that cannot be discharged can only accumulate on the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and comprehensively with reference to the accompanying Drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure instead of all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
In view of the technical problems in the prior art, referring to
The cyclonic separating drum 110 has an upper side edge that communicates with a tangential air duct 120. The tangential air duct 120 has an airflow guide path and is tangent to a side edge of the cyclonic separating drum 110 to guide air with particles to form an airflow consistent with a direction of the tangential air duct 120, and then the airflow tangentially enters the cyclonic separating drum 110 to form a rotating airflow, i.e., a cyclonic airflow.
The centripetal force redirecting duct arranged in an upper portion of the cyclonic separating drum 110 and communicating with the tangential air duct 120, such that after the rotating airflow enters the centripetal force redirecting duct, a direction of a centripetal force of the rotating airflow is changed to above a side of a direction of a support force of a drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum 110.
The cyclonic separating drum 110 includes a cylindrical drum 111 and an inverted cone drum 112. A bottom of the cylindrical drum 111 communicates with an upper portion of the inverted cone drum 112, and an upper portion of the cylindrical drum 111 is an open end 1111 which is convenient for assembling an overflow drum 140. A side edge of the cylindrical drum 111 is provided with an opening 1112 with which the tangential air duct 120 communicates to realize a tangential connection between the tangential air duct 120 and the cylindrical drum 111. A wide opening end 1121 in the upper portion of the inverted cone drum 112 is connected to a lower portion of the cylindrical drum 111 so that the cylinder drum 111 communicates with the inverted cone drum 112. A narrow opening end 1122 in a lower portion of the inverted cone drum 112 is a dust discharge port for allowing separated particles to be discharged therethrough.
The cyclonic separator 100 further includes the overflow drum 140 which is arranged in the upper portion of the cyclonic separating drum 110 about a same axis 150 to serve as an exhaust outlet to allow the separated airflow to leave the cyclonic separating drum 110. The overflow drum 140 is inserted through the open end 1111 of the cylindrical drum 111 and is arranged coaxially with the cylindrical drum 111.
As a preferred embodiment, the centripetal force redirecting duct is a spirally extending curved duct 130 having a spiral rise angle λ that is greater than a half cone angle a of the inverted cone drum 112 of the cyclonic separating drum 110, as shown in
It should be noted that when a ratio V2/R of a high-speed rotating airflow and material velocity V to a rotating radius R is much greater than a gravity acceleration g, the centripetal force M*V2/R of pollen-grade particles is much greater than gravity Mg of the material itself. In order to facilitate analysis, the influence of particle gravity is ignored.
When the airflow is rotating, under the circumstance of ignoring the influence of gravity, the particles in the airflow are only subjected to a support force N (a resultant force, FN) provided by a drum wall. Because of the presence of rotating motion, the support force N is inevitably decomposed into a centripetal force (a first component force, F1, F1′) perpendicular to the rotating axis 150, the first component force is used to maintain a high-speed rotation motion of the particles and a direction of the first component force is perpendicular to the airflow rotating center axis 150. Since the support force N is perpendicular to a drum wall of the inverted cone drum 112, according to decomposition of vectors of the force, in order to maintain the balance of the vectors of the support force N and the centripetal force F1 and F1′, another component force (a second component force) and the centripetal force F1 and F1′ certainly straddle separately on both sides of the support force N to ensure the balance of the decomposition of the resultant force.

In this way, the cyclonic separator 100 of the present disclosure can effectively discharge the separated particles to the outside of the dust discharge port timely and quickly through a combination of the tangential air duct 120 and the redirecting duct, not only solve the technical problem described in the background, but also avoid possibility of back mixing and diffusion caused by the accumulated particles, and meanwhile ensure that the cyclonic separating drum is in a clean state without particle accumulation to help to improve the separation and purification effect as well as prolong the service life. If there is no tangential air duct 120, when a lead of the redirecting duct is less than one lead, not only can a cyclone not be formed, but also there is a possibility that the airflow is not separated and is directly sucked away through the overflow drum 140. When the lead of the redirecting duct is larger than one lead or even more, it only plays a role in forming a cyclone, and does not impose any traction effect on the rapid discharge of the accumulated particles.

As an embodiment, the outer side wall 122 of the tangential air duct 120 may be set to be a planar side wall and is tangent to the side edge of the cylindrical drum 111 of the cyclonic separating drum 110, and the inner side wall 123 of the tangential air duct 120 may be set to be a planar side wall or a curved side wall. As another embodiment, the outer side wall 122 of the tangential air duct 120 may be set to be a curved side wall, and is tangent to the side edge of the cylindrical drum 111 of the cyclonic separating drum 110, and the inner side wall 123 is a planar side wall or a curved side wall.
Further, the entrance 131 of the curved duct 130 corresponds to the tangential air outlet 125 of the tangential air duct 120 to reduce unnecessary rotating paths to further reduce stress loss. In some embodiments, the exit 132 of the curved duct 130 is provided corresponding to a connection 113 of the cylindrical drum 111 and the inverted cone drum 112. In some other embodiments, the exit 132 of the curved duct 130 may also be provided corresponding to the upper portion of the inverted cone drum 112. By such an arrangement in this way, the rotating airflow may directly enter the inverted cone drum 112 after exiting from the exit 132.
The curved duct 130 is located in a region between the cyclonic separating drum 110 and the overflow drum 140. In some embodiments, the curved duct 130 may be arranged on the cyclonic separating drum 110. In some embodiments, the curved duct 130 may be arranged on the overflow drum 140, i.e., on the outer wall of the overflow drum 140. In some other embodiments, the curved duct 130 is suspended between the cyclonic separating drum 110 and the overflow drum 140 by a support. In order to facilitate manufacturing and assembling, the curved duct 130 may be directly integrated on the cyclonic separating drum 110. More preferably, the curved duct 130 may be formed on the outer wall of the overflow drum 140 to avoid complexity of the structure of the cyclonic separating drum 110, and the curved duct 130 formed on the outer wall of the overflow drum 140 is more convenient to manufacture and assemble and is lower in cost compared with that formed in the overflow drum 140.
In the present disclosure, the curved duct 130 is not mainly used to form a cyclonic airflow (also called a whirling airflow or a rotating airflow) but is used to change the direction of the centripetal force of the rotating airflow, and a spiral lead of the curved duct 130 is unlike that of a spiral duct forming the cyclonic airflow, which is the more, the better. In some embodiments, the curved duct 130 is set to have a lead less than one, such as ⅔ Lead, ½ Lead, ⅓ Lead, ¼ lead, ⅛ lead or 1/10 lead. In some embodiments, the curved duct 130 may be further set to have more than one lead. In specific implementation, appropriate adjustment may be made according to an insertion depth of the overflow drum 140 into the cyclonic separating drum 110. In order to ensure the redirection effect, the curved duct 130 is preferably set to have at least ¼ lead, that is, the rotating airflow flows through the curved duct 130 with at least ¼ lead and is discharged into the inverted cone drum 112. Preferably, the curved duct 130 is preferably set to have ¼ lead or more and one lead or less, and more preferably, ¼ lead or more and ½ lead or less.

The bottom of the overflow drum 140 extends to the upper portion of the inverted cone drum 112 of the cyclonic separating drum 110. It can be understood that the bottom of the overflow drum 140 is located at the connection 113 of the cylindrical drum 111 and the inverted cone drum 112 or below the connection 113. In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom of the overflow drum 140 extends into the inverted cone drum 112 and is located in the upper portion of the inverted cone drum 112. In some preferred embodiments, a length of the overflow drum 140 is 0.3 to 0.4 times a length of the cyclonic separating drum 110, which is not limited thereto. The length of the overflow drum 140 is understood to be a distance between the inverted diversion cone platform 142 and the bottom of the overflow drum 140, or a distance from a part parallel and level to the upper wall of the tangential air duct 120 to the bottom of the overflow drum 140.
Referring to
It should be realized that the tangential air duct 120 may be integrally formed with the cyclonic separating drum 110, the curved duct 130 is integrally formed with the overflow drum 140, and the diversion inverted cone platform 142 and the positioning portion 144 are also integrally formed with the overflow drum 140. Such a design makes the cyclonic separator 100 easy to manufacture and assemble.
The present disclosure further provides a method for cyclonic separation and discharging of dust, which includes the following steps. Guiding air with particles to form an airflow consistent with a tangential direction of a cyclonic separating drum and then making the airflow enter the cyclonic separating drum tangentially to form a rotating airflow. Changing a direction of a centripetal force of the rotating airflow to above a side of a direction of a support force of a drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum, so that the particles are subjected to a downward component force directed towards a dust discharge port of the cyclonic separating drum to pull and discharge separated particles.
After an existing downstream cyclonic separating assembly in the industry is used for a period of time, a lot of dust is accumulated at a cyclonic separating drum of the downstream cyclonic separating assembly, and dust is also accumulated outside an overflow drum. However, the industry has not paid enough attention to this problem, and mainly pays attention to how to reduce a rotating radius and how to increase the centripetal force or the like to solve the problem of separation efficiency. Through extensive analysis, the inventor has found that the dust accumulation problem mainly results from the fact that the separated dust is difficult to be discharged to the dust discharge port only by its own gravity, to cause a large amount of dust accumulated in an cyclonic separating outer drum to further lead to possibility of back mixing and diffusion to escape to the outside of the overflow drum. Thus how to discharge the separated particles to the dust discharge port timely and quickly is a technical problem in the prior art.
Referring to
In this way, the method for cyclonic separation and discharging of dust of the present disclosure can effectively discharge the separated particles to the outside of the dust discharge port timely and quickly, not only solve the technical problem described in the background but also avoid possibility of back mixing and diffusion caused by the accumulated particles, and meanwhile ensure that the cyclonic separating drum is in a clean state without particle accumulation to help to improve separation and purification effect as well as prolong the service life.
As a preferred embodiment, the method for cyclonic separation and discharging of dust of the present disclosure may be implemented by the cyclonic separator described in Embodiment 1. Specifically, the step of guiding air with particles to form the airflow consistent with the tangential direction of the cyclonic separating drum and then making the airflow enter the cyclonic separating drum tangentially to form the rotating airflow is realized by communicating the upper side edge of the cyclonic separating drum with the tangential air duct. The step of changing the direction of the centripetal force of the rotating airflow to above the side of the direction of the support force of the drum wall of the cyclonic separating drum is realized by arranging the centripetal force redirecting duct in the upper portion of the cyclonic separating drum.

As another embodiment of the arrangement of the cyclonic separators 100, the plurality of cyclonic separators 100 may be arranged in parallel with each other to form multiple sets of cyclonic separator rings 221, and the multiple cyclonic separators 100 of each set of cyclonic separator rings 221 are circumferentially arranged in a ring shape, and the adjacent sets of cyclonic separator rings 221 are nested or partially embedded in concentric circles. Taking two sets of cyclonic separator rings 221 for example, the first set of cyclonic separator rings 221 is much large in quantity to form a relatively large ring-shaped cyclonic separator ring 221, and the second set of cyclonic separator rings 221 is partially joined in or embedded into the first set of cyclonic separator rings 221. It can be understood that, in a top view, the first set of cyclonic separator rings 221 surrounds the second set of cyclonic separator rings 221, and heights of different sets of cyclonic separator rings 221 may be designed to be the same or different based on actual conditions. In order to further optimize the structure and avoid increasing the volume of the cyclonic separating apparatus, preferably, the smaller ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings 221 are inserted into inner rings of the larger ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings 221 to form a state that the smaller ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings are stacked above the larger ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings in an axial direction, and outer rings of the smaller ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings are partially in contact with or close to the inner rings of the larger ring-shaped cyclonic separator rings.
It should be noted that the function of the plurality of cyclonic separators 100 is that in a certain plane, the more the cyclonic separators 100 are, the smaller the radiuses of the separators 100 are; according to a centripetal force formula F=M*V2/R, it can be seen that the smaller the radius is, the greater the centripetal force is, and the greater the centripetal force is, the better the separation effect of substances in different masses in the airflow is.
Preferably but unlimitedly, an axis 150 of each cyclonic separating drum 110 is provided obliquely with respect to a longitudinal center axis 240 of the cyclonic separating apparatus. It should be noted that not all the cyclonic separators 100 in the same set of cyclonic separator rings 221 need to be inclined at the same angle with respect to the longitudinal center axis 240 of the cyclonic separating apparatus. That is, the cyclonic separators 100 in the same set of cyclonic separator rings 221 may be inclined at different angles with respect to the longitudinal center axis 240 of the cyclonic separating apparatus. Similarly, not all the cyclonic separators 100 in the same set of cyclonic separator rings 221 need to have the same internal dimension.

The positioning structure includes at least one of a concave-convex positioning structure, a buckle type positioning structure and an elastic fastener type positioning structure, but it is not limited thereto, and it is only required to satisfy quick alignment and positioning. Through the combination of the positioning members 2242 and the positioning portions 144, the overflow drums 140 can be quickly and effectively positioned and limited when being assembled, so that the centripetal force redirecting ducts communicate correspondingly with the tangential air ducts 120 without a need of fastening methods such as screws, which may appropriately lighten the cyclonic separating apparatus while reducing the assembly processes and the difficulty in assembly alignment.
In some embodiments, in the concave-convex positioning structure, the positioning members 2242 are grooves, and the positioning portions 144 are projections. During assembly, after the overflow drums 140 are inserted into the assembling holes 2241, the overflow drums 140 are assembled and positioned when the projections are placed correspondingly in the grooves. In some embodiments, in the concave-convex positioning structure, the positioning members 2242 are L-shaped clamping grooves, the positioning portions 144 are projections. During assembly, after the overflow drums 140 are inserted into the assembling holes 2241, the projections are correspondingly placed in vertical grooves of the clamping grooves, and then the overflow drums 140 are rotated to make the projections enter lateral grooves of the clamping grooves, so that the overflow drums 140 are assembled and positioned. Compared with positioning members 2242 which are only vertical grooves, the positioning members 2242 in this embodiment may further restrict up and down movements of the overflow drums 140 to avoid affecting assembling precision and efficiency. In some embodiments, in the buckle type positioning structure, the positioning members 2242 are clamping positions and the positioning portions 144 are clamping tables, and during assembly, after the overflow drums 140 are inserted into the assembling holes 2241, the clamping tables are correspondingly placed in the clamping positions, so that the overflow drums 140 are assembled and clamped to avoid rotation. In some embodiments, in an elastic fastener type positioning structure, the positioning members 2242 is hooks, and the positioning portions 144 are upper end edges of the overflow drums 140. During assembly, after the overflow drums 140 are inserted into the assembling holes 2241, the upper end edges of the overflow drums 140 pass through the hooks, and after the hooks bounce off and the overflow drums 140 are in place, the hooks return to hook the upper end edges of the overflow drums 140. More preferably, the upper end edges of the overflow drums 140 are provided with hook grooves, which cooperate with the hooks to further clamp the overflow drums 140 to avoid rotation of the overflow drums 140. It should be noted that the specific structures of the above positioning members 2242 and positioning portions 144 may be exchanged.

By arrangement of the above sealing element 223, the cover plate member 224 and the positioning structure, the configuration automatically provides good alignment and reliable sealing between the overflow drums 140 and the cyclonic separating drums 110 as well as the air introducing ports 230 as well as good alignment between the tangential air ducts 120 and the curved ducts 130.
It should be realized that the tangential air ducts 120 and the cyclonic separating drums 110 of the cyclonic separators 100, and the cyclonic separator support 222 are integrally formed into a main body of the downstream cyclonic separating assembly 220, and the air introducing ports 230 are formed by enclosing of the adjacent cyclonic separating drums 110. In specific implementation, the main body of the downstream cyclonic separating assembly 220 and the overflow drums 140 are separately manufactured so as to simplify manufacturing and assembling of the cyclonic separating apparatus.

An upper portion of the dust control housing 212 is connected to the cyclonic separator support 222. Preferably, a lower side edge of the cyclonic separator support 222 leans on and is positioned at an upper edge of the dust control housing 212. An upper portion of the separation drum 211 is connected to the cyclonic separator support 222. Specifically, the ring wall 2221 of the cyclonic separator support 222 and an inner sealing ring 2222 form an airflow guide cavity 2223, i.e., the air guide path. The compartment 2113 in the separation drum 211 is in a sealed communication with the airflow guide cavity 2223 to provide a communication path between the upstream cyclonic separating assembly 210 and the downstream cyclonic separating assembly 220. More preferably, the compartment 2113 is in communication with the airflow guide cavity 2223 via a connecting cavity. The inverted cone drums 112 of the cyclonic separators 100 in the downstream cyclonic separating assembly 220 are arranged on a dust discharge passage communicating with the dust collection cover 213.
A method for manufacturing the cyclonic separating apparatus described in Embodiment 3 includes the following steps. Manufacturing a first component including a cyclonic separator support 222. A plurality of cyclonic separating drums 110 and tangential air ducts 120 are arranged on the cyclonic separator support 222, and the tangential air ducts 120 being in tangential communication with the cyclonic separating drums 110. Manufacturing a second component including a plurality of overflow drums 140 with curved ducts 130.
Further, the method for manufacturing the cyclonic separating apparatus further includes the step of assembling the first component and the second component through a cover plate member 224, i.e., assembling the overflow drums 140 in upper portions of the cyclonic separating drums 110 about the same axis 150. Using a positioning structure to position the second component in a predetermined position and/or orientation with respect to the first component, such that the curved ducts 130 of the overflow drums 140 correspondingly communicate with the tangential air ducts 120. Specifically, entrances 131 of the curved ducts 130 are set to be positioned at tangential air outlets 125 of the tangential air ducts 120. Exits 132 of the curved ducts 130 are set to be positioned at connections 113 of cylindrical drums 111 and inverted cone drums 112 or at upper portions of the inverted cone drums 112.
