VACUUM CLEANER WITH CYCLONIC DIRT SEPARATION AND VORTEX STABILIZER

摘要

A vacuum cleaner (10) with interchangeable cyclone module assemblies comprises a vortex stabilizer (74) . The cyclone module assembly (26) comprises a cyclone separation chamber (58) and a dirt cup (60) . The cyclone separation chamber can be horizontally disposed. The cyclone separation chamber can be removably connected to the dirt cup through a locking ring (85) . The vortex stabilizer (74) can be adjustable to accommodate different types of debris. The vortex stabilizer can be pivotally mounted to an upper portion of the dirt cup. The dirt cup can be located laterally of the cyclone separation chamber and can have a tapered debris outlet. The cyclone module assembly (26' ' ) can have a first cyclone separation chamber (84' ' ) and a second cyclone separation chamber (86' ' ) , each comprising a vortex stabilizer. The vacuum cleaner can comprise at least one diverter valve (123) for selectively switching between cleaning with the first cyclone separation chamber, the second cyclone separation chamber, or both.
