Abstract:
A cyclone dust collector for vacuum cleaners, comprising:an openable cyclone dust collection casing; an air inlet port formed on a sidewall of said casing such that the air inlet port introduces dust-laden air under pressure into the casing while forming a cyclone of the air within said casing; an air exhaust port provided at a top end of said casing for discharging the air from the casing to the atmosphere; a dust collecting filter provided within said casing for filtering the air before the air is discharged from the casing to the atmosphere through the air exhaust port; and a partition plate horizontally installed within said casing at a lower portion to define a dust collecting chamber within the casing at a position under the partition plate, said partition plate being provided with an opening for allowing solids and particles, removed from the air, to pass through the partition plate to reach the dust collecting chamber, wherein said partition plate comprises two semi-circular plate parts, said two semi-circular plate parts being commonly hinged to diametrically opposite positions of said casing at opposite ends of their linear edges.
