BAGLESS VACUUM CLEANER
In a bagless vacuum cleaner, comprising a cyclonic separator having a cyclone tube ( 6 ), and a bucket ( 3 ) for containing a liquid, a diameter of the bucket ( 3 ) is at least 2 times a diameter of the cyclone tube ( 6 ). Preferably, in the bucket ( 3 ) there is a body ( 8 ) having a center in line with a center of the cyclone tube ( 6 ), a shape of the body ( 8 ) being or approximating a mushroom-shape.
1 . A bagless vacuum cleaner, comprising
a cyclonic separator having a cyclone tube, and
a bucket for containing a liquid,
wherein a diameter of the bucket is at least 2 times a diameter of the cyclone tube.
2 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the bucket is 2.5 times the diameter of the cyclone tube.
3 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the bucket is at least 2.8 times a distance between the bottom of the bucket to an end of a vortex finder of the cyclonic separator.
4 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the diameter of the bucket is at least 3 times the distance between the bottom of the bucket to the end of a vortex finder of the cyclonic separator.
5 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the bucket there is a body having a center in line with a center of the cyclone tube, a shape of the body being or approximating a mushroom-shape.
6 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the body has a part having a smaller diameter than a largest diameter of the body, a height of the part corresponding to an intended level of the liquid.
7 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cyclone tube extends into the bucket so as to form a rim having openings for regulating an amount of liquid entering into the cyclone tube.
8 . A bagless vacuum cleaner, comprising
a cyclonic separator having a cyclone tube, and
a bucket for containing a liquid,
wherein in the bucket there is a body having a center in line with a center of the cyclone tube, a shape of the body being or approximating a mushroom-shape.
9 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the body has a part having a smaller diameter than a largest diameter of the body, a height of the part corresponding to an intended level of the liquid.
10 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein a diameter of the bucket is at least 2 times a diameter of the cyclone tube.
11 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the diameter of the bucket is 2.5 times the diameter of the cyclone tube.
12 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the diameter of the bucket is at least 2.8 times a distance between the bottom of the bucket to an end of a vortex finder of the cyclonic separator.
13 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the diameter of the bucket is at least 3 times the distance between the bottom of the bucket to the end of a vortex finder of the cyclonic separator.
14 . A bagless vacuum cleaner as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the cyclone tube extends into the bucket so as to form a rim having openings for regulating an amount of liquid entering into the cyclone tube.
