The homemade vacuum cleaner is so accustomed in the farm that no one thinks about the principle of his action. Since the invention of this assistant in the cleaning of premises, a single possible way of separating dust from clean air was used - filter.

Over the years, the filter element was improved from a banal bag of dense tarpaulin, it turned into high-tech membranes, holding the smallest particles of garbage. At the same time, it was not possible to get rid of the main disadvantage.

Filter creators are constantly looking for a compromise between cell density and air bandwidth. In addition, than polluted membrane, the worse the air flow passes through it.
30 years ago, the physicist James Dyson produced a breakthrough in dust cleaning technology.

He invented a compact dust separator operating on the principle of centrifugal force. I must say that this idea was not Nova. Industrial sawmills used centrifugal storage devices and chiclone chips like a long time ago.

But no one guessed to apply this physical phenomenon in everyday life. In 1986 he registered a patent for the first vacuum cleaner of the cyclone type, with the name G-Force.

In general, there are three ways to separate dust from clean air:

1. Filtering membrane. The most massive and cheap way to remove dust. It is used in most modern vacuum cleaners;
2. Water filter. The air with the garbage passes through water tank (as in hookah), all particles remain in the liquid medium, the perfectly clean air flow arrives at the exit. Such devices have won popularity, but their use has not become mass due to high cost.
3. A centrifugal filter of dry cleaning type "cyclone". It is a compromise at the cost and quality of cleaning in comparison with the membrane and water filter. On this model, we will stop more.

Principle of operation of cyclone

The illustration shows the processes occurring in a cyclone filter chamber.

Polluted air through the nozzle (1) enters the cylindrical filter (2) housing. The nozzle is located on the tangent of the housing walls, due to which the air flow (3) is twisted into the helix along the walls of the cylinder.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the dust particles (4) are pressed against the inner walls of the case, and under the influence of gravity is settled in the dust collector (5). The air with the smallest particles of garbage (on which the centrifugal force does not act), enters the chamber (6) with a conventional membrane filter. After final cleaning come into the receiving fan (7).

The membrane filter is dirty minimal, and it only needs to occasionally clean after cleaning. All dirt simply falls out of the drive, and the vacuum cleaner is ready to work again.

Vacuum cleaners with such a filter are cheaper than water, but still more expensive, in comparison with the membrane. Therefore, many folk craftsmen make a "cyclone" type filter with their own hands, and connect it with the entrance to the ordinary vacuum cleaner.

Cyclone designs of household vacuum cleaners are considered one of the most successful versions of technique in terms of performance. The cyclone system is a relatively simple separation mechanism, due to which it appears the ability to productively filter suspended particles present in the air flow.

Based on the theoretical principles of building such a system, it is quite acceptable to create a cyclone for a vacuum cleaner, which acts as an additional tool - for example, a construction separator. Interested in the question, but do not know how to independently make a simple cyclone? We will help you in the realization of the conceived.

The article describes the detailed information about the device of the cyclone separator, and also shows step by step instructions for its assembly and connecting to the vacuum cleaner. A description of all stages of the workflow is accompanied by visual photos.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

About how with your own hands to build another - a simpler cyclone design, clearly shows and tells the video below.

The author uses this homemade system in household practice and is extremely satisfied. The cyclone separator made from the ordinary bucket helps to work in pure conditions in the production of economic and construction work:

Self-assembly of cyclone for the vacuum cleaner is allowed and quite possible. Moreover, there are projects of such "self-defense" systems that are actually done if not in 2 minutes, then in a couple of hours. Such a cyclone is really worth spending on its production for a while. Costs are fully compensated.

Is there experience in making a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner? Please tell readers about your separator assembly method. Comment on the publication, participate in discussions and add photos of your homemade. The feedback unit is located below.

greetings to all moshingens! An important moment during the incarnation of their brainoids It is observing cleanliness in the workplace and in the workshop as a whole. Just for this purpose cleather This manual is a simple dust collector with the screen.

Works this self-timer So: the incoming contaminated air flow is unwound along the inner wall, which is why heavy particles of dust and garbage are separated and falling into the location of the trash tank. When using a fan, as in my case, with such under the tree There is no need for any separate dust collection system (which requires additional space and power to accommodate, and of course expenses).

When sharing with a purchased vacuum cleaner, this simple Mozhemaker Significantly increases the service life of the filters of the vacuum cleaner, and reduces the need to periodically empty it, as a rule, a small and trouble-staring, dustmaker.

Note: All below the sizes are calculated for the garbage of the tank used by me. For another capacity, they will be different, and for high-quality operation moskopoelain They will have to recalculate.

Very often, when assembling with an electrician, it is impossible to do without a vacuum cleaner. First of all, this is due to the processes of the strokes of the walls.

Use for this business homemade household models can not, otherwise you will threate them on the first day of work. Their dust collectors will be filled very quickly, and the vacuum cleaner itself overheat.

Buy a construction, which is not at all small money, can afford only professional masters, daily earn this type of activity.

And what if you are not a builder and you need a similar device only to finish the repair of electricians in your apartment? The optimal output in this case is one - independently make a building vacuum cleaner from the usual one.

And in terms of time for such a rework you will leave only a few minutes. And the materials that will be required for this can be safely found in the storage room, or purchase in the nearest plumbing store.

Let us consider in more detail the two very similar methods that are nevertheless structural differences between themselves.

Homemade cyclone from domestic vacuum cleaner

The first method has been presented for quite a long time on the Internet and on YouTube. You can easily find a lot of rollers with similar homemade cyclones.

However, professional builders, they cause quite natural questions and skepticism. Therefore, it should immediately make a reservation that they are suitable for the maintenance of chips from the tree.

But with cement dust, such devices are better not to work. Under it is more "sharpened" the second option.

The main "chip" which will allow you to calmly suck the kilograms of garbage, wood, metal sawdust and at the same time not to worry about the frequent change of filter bags, lies in the homemade "separator".

Its will need to be constructed from several components. For the entire assembly you will need:

Better here is suitable for a bucket from shtatleki stitches. It is heavier to flatten with vacuum.

The first thing in the center of the bucket cover drill or carefully cut the end-to-end hole under the tube.

Three holes are placed closer to the edges of the lid, where the edge rib.

If you do not have a special crown, then pre-skew the selection of the circle and gently cut through with its stationery knife.

The edges will turn out uneven, but they can be treated with a round file.

Two sewers are inserted into these holes. So that they securely held and there was no additional air supply, it is better to glue them.

To do this, first treat the edges of the tube with a sandpaper or file, in order to create a rough surface.

The same operation is done with a lid.

After that, insert into the inside the cover of the tube and apply a thick layer of glue by a thermopystole.

Adhesion do not spare. This will help create good tightness in these places and close all the gaps tightly.

There is a truth to another option at which you can do without glue and fan pipes. To do this, buy in Lerua merchant rubber transitional couplings.

They are different diameters. Pick up your hose.

For example, the tube from the hose 35mm is tightly inserted into the 40/32 coupling. But in 40mm pipe she will hang out. You will have to get out and collective me.

On that tube, which is located with the edge of the lid, dress the sewer with 90 degrees.

This design of the separator can be said virtually ready. Install the cover with discharges on the bucket.

The air hose from the vacuum cleaner is inserted into the central hole.

And the piece you will collect all the garbage and dust, stick to the angular connection.

It is desirable that sealing rings in the size of the corrugations of the vacuum cleaner are present in the tubes.

On this, the entire assembly is over. You can include a vacuum cleaner on the network and use.

Here is a visual video from within a bucket of a similar design. It is perfectly seen on it as sawdusts are absorbed into the separator, but they cannot break out of it and get into the vacuum cleaner.

The principle of work here is the next. Large dust sucking in the container drops on the bottom of the tank. At the same time, it does not fall into the zone where air pumps directly.

Three factors helps in this matter:

• Gravitis

• friction

• centrifugal force

They are forcing the garbage to rotate inside the bucket clinging to its walls, and then fall to the bottom. And only the small fraction gets directly in the vacuum cleaner dust collector.

Usually, such a cyclone on factory structures has a cone shape, but also cylindrical copies, too, often coped with this task.

True, the higher the bucket will be, the better the installation will work. Much here depends on the correct conjugation of the design of the tank and the power of the vacuum cleaner. Here is the plate from Chinese cyclones on the correct selection of the diameter of the hoses and the power of the aggregates.

In cylindrical buckets, the input of the tangential air flow is carried out not through the curvilinear side wall, but through the flat lid. Collect such a device an order easier.

In addition, if you have a few buckets, you can use them alternately. Just take off the lid from one and rearrange to another. And this is done even easier than in bulky cyclones.

If you have a powerful vacuum cleaner, instead of a plastic bucket from under emulsion paint, it is better to use a metal tank of the same form. Otherwise, the bucket will be shared and it will be plotted.

Recalls the power regulator in this business. If it is certainly present in your model.

Why the vacuum cleaner still fails

With this method, all the small dust will flow into the bag of the vacuum cleaner, and more or less large fractions will simply fall and remain in the bucket. As self-relocities assure, more than 95% of the construction trash will settle in the separator and only 5% falls directly to the dust collector of the household vacuum cleaner.

However, the thing is that even these 5% are able to gradually kill the vacuum cleaner. In addition, even in industrial cyclones, the claimed efficiency is rarely more than 90%, and what to talk about products made by their own hands, in which aerodynamics are far from perfection.

For 100% assembly of shallow fraction, you need an electrofiliter or a bubble column.

By the way, from some types of dust, a very strong static voltage appears. Be careful when working.

The longer you work with an aggregate without turning it off from the network, the higher it may be charge. Here you read the instructive comment by one real user such a self-made.

Therefore, on many cyclones, even the factory assembly, the flange grounds.

Five percent of fine wood chips are certainly not scary for a domestic vacuum cleaner. And if it is a small cement dust when sticking?

Such particles when entering inside, tightly clog the filter.

And it happens very quickly. All the effectiveness of the "cyclone" for a few minutes drops at least 2/3.

The main problem is in a bag for collecting dust. It is dense, and the filtration area is small. Therefore, it is not suitable for waste from plaster and concrete walls.

What to do? Is it really not to do without real construction? With intensive work, it really saves only the expensive and professional tool.

What is the difference between the construction vacuum cleaner from the usual

But for work on occasion to occasion, this design can be modified and improved. The idea belongs Shaudra Andrei.

Before we consider the second design option, ask yourself the question: "What is one of the main differences between household vacuum cleaners from the construction?"

In household models, cooling occurs due to the absorbable air.

That is, you vacuum the floor, the air sues garbage. Next occurs its filtering and cooling of the engine itself. After which the air is thrown out.

From here and implies the entire risk of engine damage. First, when clogging the filter, the engine cooling sharply falls.

Secondly, cement dust is 100% not delayed in the dust collector, and part of it flies through the windings, while removing the path of Naznya isolation. Such disperse dust kills all rubbing and spinning.

Adding water to the bottom of the tank does not particularly help. Instead of dust you get a lot of dirt, the burden of the bucket, and the filter will eventually elapse.

In the professional devices, the engine cooling is carried out separately, through special technological holes. Therefore, they are not as scary scored completely garbage bags.

Moreover, they still have automatic cleaning or shaking.

In order to remake the household model in the mind, you will need a little more spare parts than in the first case.

Working version of the construction vacuum cleaner from domestic

The main additional element here is a filter bag of nonwoven material. Copies are very well suited from the company Karcher - Article 2.863-006.0

Actually, this disposable filter. Your task make a reusable element from it.

To do this, cut its lower part and fold it a bit, a bit reducing the width (up to 22cm).

Next, this lower part must be closed with a special closure. We make it of two elements of the plastic cable channel and a piece of polypropylene tube.

The tube is split along, with a width of the slot about 5mm.

Apply them to the back of the fabric at the bottom.

Then inwhew through the slot prepared pipe.

As a result, from one-time you got a reusable filter bag. Moreover, much more than the one is installed inside the household model.

Next, have been done previously reviewed stages on the modernization of the bucket. In the lid, drill the holes and insert rubber corrugated workers in them.

One will be for connecting a filter bag, another - for the hose. Pick the diameters of their devices.

Here you can do without fan pipes and corners. Next, wear a plastic insert from the reusable filter on the adapter.

It remains tightly close the lid on the bucket. The design is ready to work.

It is although it looks like, but differs from the above first option. After you turn on the unit and start sucking garbage, it is a self-made reusable dust collector and will collect all the mud and dirt in itself.

Dust will not fly around as in the previous case. On the contrary, this bag from the air flow will swell inside the bucket.

Gradually, it will be filled with both heavy and small fractions that could be missed by cyclone.

However, do not forget about clogging of the walls in a reusable filter and reduce the thrust of the cooling flow of air. In order not to burn the motor of the household vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to carry out another event.

How not to burn a household vacuum

Most modern models have an integrated safety valve. It shows when the filter is already clogged and an additional air flow opens at that moment.

True, this is considered an emergency. Your task is not waiting for the moment of triggering this valve, and take advantage of a few other cunning.

Some devices directly on the handle have a thrust regulator in the form of a hole that opens or closes. Its just follow and should be opened in any kind of work.

If you do not have such a factory regulator, you can drill a small additional opening with a diameter of 12mm in a bucket itself.

Well, the most important thing is not to forget that any household vacuum cleaner, no matter how you upgrade it, has a certain period of continuous work. Be sure to fix the start time and do not work longer than the period.

That is, it is elementary to pause. At least in order to shake the homemade filter. And he shakes just with the bucket.

When the dust collector is significantly filled, open the bucket cover and pull the tube from the guides at the bottom of the bag.

It will open with you and the garbage with dust can be deleted. After that, collect the whole design back and work on.

The normal functioning of the bag is enough for about three full fill. After that, cement dust in the tissue itself begins to slow down the air flow.

You will have to either replace the filter to a new one, or not just shake, but to capitalize it from any fine garbage and continue to work as if nothing had happened.

Repair and construction work are not only difficult, but also leave a lot of dust and garbage, which is most often too lazy to clean, and ordinary home vacuum cleaners are simply not able to cope with the task. A cyclone will help for a vacuum cleaner, able to cut off chips, sawdust and other trash, without clogging the dust collector itself.

Operating principle

Many know what kind of building litter is, and how difficult it is to be removed, especially on an industrial scale. There are special construction vacuum cleaners in the market that possess high power, in comparison with domestic, but at the same time have large dimensions and a considerable price. Therefore, the masters of their case creates chips of the type of cyclone with their own hands, thereby improving their household vacuum cleaners and facilitate their work.

The filter is a design of two compartments: external and internal. Under the action of centrifugal force, all Cray coming into dust collector, based on a cyclone principle sorted into large and small particles.

Major settle in the outer chamber, and small - in the inner. It is because of this principle of operation of the filter and called the cyclone.

Making your own hands

Before starting work, you need to remember that it is not difficult to build such an uncomplicated device, so after the development of the principles you can immediately contribute to the mechanism of our own workshops.

In the manufacture of cyclone, with their own hands from the girlfriend, it is necessary:

To make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, you need:

• In the capacitance cover, it is necessary to make a hole for a polypropylene knee of 90 degrees and in the lateral part of the tank itself the same knee hole in 30 degrees.
• The filter is placed inside the tank, already connected to a polypropylene knee.
• All holes should be tightly closed using sealant.

The hose is tightly fixed with a polypropylene knee and sent clearly down, thereby setting a stable trajectory. Testing on rigid litter is carried out.

Aqua Filter from

If there are problems with searching for the shop aquilt, you can safely make a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. To do this, you will need only a plastic pipe, the dimensions of which are installed, based on the size of the tank (the sewer small diameter is suitable).

To make a filter yourself, it is necessary to cut the pipe to pieces and tightly connect to the T-shaped form so that air can safely pass between the cameras, and the side branches need to be dried out with a fabric air-permeable material.

From the bottom, at the base of the wide part, it is necessary to drill holes in a checker order (for water intake). Next, it is necessary to connect a cyclone filter with water with the help of a polypropylene knee so that the water filter is inside the tank, the water slightly concerned.

Water is added immediately before using the vacuum cleaner.

Bag for collecting dust

In the manufacture of a bag for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, the material will suit any, but it is important that it is dense. In order to make such a bag, you will need only three material:

• Textolite (size is selected individually for each vacuum cleaner).
• Any textile tight bag (many use bags from under shoes).
• Clip for part of garbage discharge.

In the textolite, a hole is done with a diameter with a dust removal valve output, all different sizes, depending on the vacuum cleaner model. Next, the same hole is done in the bag and secured between the textolite and bag.

In the opposite part of the bag, a hole for dusting and sera is done, after which the bag is fixed using the clamp.

Cyclone was created in 1986 Jameson Dyson And since then has won its authority in the sales market and keeps its position to this day.

No industrial sphere is done without this invention having such qualities as speed and reliability.
