Abstract

A dust collector for use in an autonomous floor-cleaning device is disclosed to include a container, which is formed of a container body and a top cover shell and has two bottom suction holes and a top air outlet, a box-like partition member, which divides the inside space of the container into a bottom storage chamber and an upper storage chamber and has a through hole in communication between one bottom suction hole and the air outlet, and a filter member set between the through hole of the partition member and the air outlet of the container for removing dust from air passing through the upper storage chamber.

Claims

1. A dust collector mounted in an autonomous floor-cleaning device in the air flowing path, comprising

a container, said container comprising a container body, and a top cover shell attached to said container body and defining with said container body an inside space, said container body having a first suction hole and a second suction hole for guiding air into said inside space, said top cover shell having an air outlet for guiding air out of said inside space;

a partition member horizontally positioned in said container body, said partition member dividing said inside space into an upper storage chamber and a bottom storage chamber, said partition member having a through hole in air communication between said first suction hole and said air outlet; and

a filter member set between the through hole of said partition member and the air outlet of said top cover shell and adapted to remove dust from air passing through said upper storage chamber.

2. The dust collector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said partition member is shaped like a flat box.

3. The dust collector as claimed in claim 2, wherein said filter member comprises a rack covered on said partition member, and a paper filter fastened to said rack.

4. The dust collector as claimed in claim 3, wherein said paper filter has a border area extended over the periphery of said rack and sandwiched in between an outside wall of said partition member and an inside wall of said container body to seal the gap between said partition member and said container body.
