Abstract

A dust-collecting apparatus includes a hollow wind guide box having a forced-draft fan therein. The wind guide box is connected with a dust-collecting bucket and a filter bucket so as to filter external air and maintain the quality of air. A first detector is provided on the dust-collecting bucket of the dust-collecting apparatus. A second detector is provided in the wind guide box and close to the filter bucket. The first detector and the second detector are electrically connected with a display unit. Thereby, the dust-collecting apparatus is capable of reminding the user of cleaning or replacement when the capacity of the dust-collecting bucket is not enough or the filter bucket is blocked.

Claims

1. A dust-collecting apparatus, comprising:

a base having a hollow wind guide box, the wind guide box being formed with at least one wind inlet and at least one wind outlet;

a forced-draft fan disposed on the wind guide box and close to the wind inlet;

a hollow wind guide bucket connected to the wind inlet of the wind guide box, the wind guide bucket having at least one inlet and at least one dust-collecting entrance;

a dust-collecting bucket connected to the dust-collecting entrance of the wind guide bucket;

a filter bucket connected to the wind outlet of the wind guide box;

a first detector disposed on the dust-collecting bucket for sending a signal when the capacity of the dust-collecting bucket is not enough;

a second detector disposed in the wind guide box and close to the filter bucket for sending a signal when the filter bucket is blocked; and

a display unit disposed on the base, the display unit being electrically connected with the first detector and the second detector for receiving and displaying the signals from the first detector and the second detector.

2. The dust-collecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first detector is a proximity switch.

3. The dust-collecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second detector is a pressure switch.

4. The dust-collecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dust-collecting bucket includes a bucket body and a lid disposed on the bucket body, the lid having an opening at a central portion thereof, the opening being connected with the dust-collecting entrance of the wind guide bucket via a hose, the wind guide bucket being provided with a plurality of hooks on a peripheral outer wall thereof close to the dust-collecting entrance, the lid being provided with corresponding hanging ropes to be hooked on the hooks for separating the lid and the bucket body.
