Abstract

The present invention discloses a dust tank is arranged in the lower side of the machine frame. A dust bag is sleeved by the dust tank. The top side of the dust tank is connected to a filter tank. The filter tank has an air inlet pipe at the bottom side thereof, a filter thereinside, and an air outlet at the top side thereof. The air outlet is connected to a closed chamber arranged at the other side of the machine frame via the air suction pipe. A suction blower is arranged inside the closed chamber. A motor drives the suction blower to operate and suck air to flow through the air suction pipe and go out from through-holes on the top of the closed chamber.

Claims

1. A dust collector having a dust bag-expanding function comprising:

a machine frame having a closed chamber at one side of the bottom thereof and a hollow platform in the middle portion thereof, wherein said closed chamber has several through-holes;

said platform has a bottom opening at one side thereof, and the vertical wall of said platform has an air inlet pipe interconnecting said bottom opening;

a suction blower arranged inside said closed chamber, wherein said suction blower includes a vertical motor, and the top of said motor is coupled to a fan, and said motor drives said fan to rotate;

a dust tank having an upper opening interconnecting said bottom opening of said platform;

a hollow filter tank arranged above said platform and having a filter thereinside, wherein the bottom of said filter tank interconnects the interior of said platform, and an air outlet is arranged at the vertical wall near the top of said filter tank, and said air outlet is positioned above said filter;

an air suction pipe connected to said air outlet at one end thereof and connected to said closed chamber at the other end thereof; and

a hose connected to the wall of said dust tank at on end thereof and connected to said air suction pipe at the other end thereof.

2. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 1, wherein said machine frame has a rectangular bottom plate, and one side of said bottom plate has a U-shape opening for accommodating said dust tank;

said closed chamber is arranged at the other side of said bottom plate;

four wheels are respectively arranged at four corners of said bottom plate.

3. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 1, wherein said motor is vertically fastened to an internal wall of said closed chamber.

4. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 1, wherein said platform has an elliptic shape;

said dust tank has a cylindrical shape and has at least three wheels on the bottom thereof.

5. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 1, wherein said dust tank has a transparent window at the wall thereof.

6. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 5, wherein said dust tank has a handle above said window.

7. The dust collector having the dust bag-expanding function according to claim 1, wherein said air suction pipe has an inverted-L shape.
