Abstract

A cyclone vacuum cleaner including a plurality of cyclone chambers arranged in a group. The cyclone chambers are configured such that frequency characteristics of noises generated from respective cyclone chambers are different from each other.

Claims (28)

1. A vacuum cleaner comprising:

a plurality of cyclone chambers arranged in a group;

wherein the configurations of the cyclone chambers are different from each other so that frequency characteristics of noises generated from respective cyclone chambers are different from each other;

wherein the cyclone chambers have a cone-shape; and

wherein the cyclone chambers further comprise extending pipes extended from portions of the cyclone chambers with maximal diameter, and said extending pipes have lengths different from each other.

2. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the cyclone chambers comprise:

outlets; and

extending pipes extended from the outlets and having unique lengths.

3. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 1 , wherein volumes of the cyclone chambers are different from each other.

4. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 1 wherein the cyclone chambers further comprise outlets formed at ends thereof, said cyclone chambers exhausting dust; and

wherein extending pipes extend from the outlets and have lengths different from each other.

5. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 2 , wherein the cyclone chambers have a cone-shape and said outlets are formed at a minimum diameter portion of said cyclone chambers.

6. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cyclone chambers are arranged in parallel.

7. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the cyclone chambers have different maximal diameters.

8. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclone chambers further comprise outlets, and said outlets have different diameters.

9. A vacuum cleaner comprising:

a first cyclone chamber separating large foreign matter from air; and

a plurality of second cyclone chambers smaller than the first cyclone chamber and separating fine dust from the air passed through the first cyclone chamber, wherein configurations of the second cyclone chambers are different from each other so as to allow frequency characteristics of noises generated from the second cyclone chambers to be different from each other.

10. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the second cyclone chambers comprise:

outlets; and

extending pipes extended from the outlets and having lengths different from each other.

11. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 9 , wherein volumes of the second cyclone chambers are different from each other.

12. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the second cyclone chambers have a cone-shape.

13. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in 12 , wherein the second cyclone chambers further comprise extending pipes extended from portions of the second cyclone chambers with maximal diameter, and said extending pipes have lengths different from each other.

14. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the second cyclone chambers further comprise outlets formed at ends thereof and exhausting dust; and

wherein extending pipes extend from the outlets and have lengths different from each other.

15. The vacuum cleaner as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the second cyclone chambers have different maximal diameters.

16. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 9 , wherein the second cyclone chambers further comprise outlets, and said outlets have different diameters.
