Abstract

The present invention relates to a cyclonic vacuum cleaner comprising a main body of vacuum cleaner, in which a cyclonic separating device and a suction device are provided. The cyclonic separating device comprises a chamber body enclosed by a side wall and a base plate, and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. After entering the chamber body, air flow swirls along the inner wall of chamber body, forms cyclonic separation air flow and makes air-solid separation. The separated air flow enters the suction device via the air outlet, and the body of the suction device is at least partially inserted into the cyclonic separation air flow. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner of the present invention is featured by reduced volume and compact structure, not only facilitating the use of such product, but also providing more space for the product design while providing the desired dust separation effect.

Claims (14)

1. A cyclonic vacuum cleaner comprising a main body comprising a cyclonic separating device and a suction device, the cyclonic separating device having a chamber body enclosed by a side wall and a base plate, an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet configured to allow inlet airflow into and along an inner wall of the chamber body, the air outlet configured to allow a portion of a cyclonic air flow formed in the chamber body to exit the chamber body of the cyclonic separating device and enter the suction device,

wherein an exterior surface of a body of the suction device is at least partially inserted into an interior of the chamber body of the cyclonic separating device, the exterior surface of the body of the suction device and the side wall of the chamber body configured to define a space to allow a portion of the cyclonic airflow to form.

2. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least a portion of the body of the suction device is inserted into the cyclonic airflow formed in the chamber body of the cyclonic separating device.

3. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 2 , characterized in that at least a portion of the exterior surface of the body of the suction device further includes an independent casing so as to relatively isolate the suction device body from the chamber body of the cyclonic separating device.

4. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , characterized in that the suction device and the cyclonic separating device are mounted coaxially with respect to each other.

5. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , characterized in that a central filter is further provided in the main body of the cyclonic vacuum cleaner, the central filter positioned downstream from the cyclonic separating device.

6. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 5 , characterized in that the central filter and the cyclonic separating device are mounted coaxially with respect to each other.

7. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 5 , wherein the central filter is positioned inside the air outlet of the cyclonic separating device.

8. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , characterized in that the suction device is provided in an upper portion of the cyclonic separating device.

9. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the suction device is positioned above the air outlet of the cyclonic separating device.

10. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , characterized in that the suction device is provided in a lower portion of the cyclonic separating device.

11. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 10 , wherein at least a portion of the suction device is positioned below the air outlet of the cyclonic separating device.

12. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to any of claims 1 - 10 , characterized in that the cyclonic separating device is a multi-stage cyclonic separating device, which is composed of a primary cyclonic separating device and a secondary cyclonic separating device arranged in series; wherein, the secondary cyclonic separating device consists of a plurality of secondary cyclone separators arranged in parallel with one another.

13. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner according to claim 12 , characterized in that the secondary cyclone separators are provided above or below the primary cyclone separator, and is at least partially enclosed in the chamber body of the cyclonic separating device.
