Today, the use of a vacuum cleaner gave us the higher quality of life than past time, but sometimes made us w1comfortable in the house because of the specific noise that is annoying. So we need to study how sound absorbtion materials affect sound power level and sound quality with sound metrics. In this paper, we will measure and calculate sound power level for vacuum cleaner and analyze characteristics of the noise for 10 Signals according to materials positioned in vacuum cleaner. The multiple regression analysis can estimate the nonlinear characteristics of relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. So we will develop sound quality index for vacuum sound.

A vacuum cleaner is the widely used home equipment. However, it has a trouble with too much power consumption. Most losses occur at the centrifugal fan. To remedy this trouble the investigation of motor, which is the main component of vacuum cleaner, is required. The flow characteristics around the high-speed rotating centrifugal fan which is influenced by the very low inlet pressure is quite different from a commonly used fan. Hence it is quite difficult to analyze the flow by the experimental means or by the numerical simulation. In this research, it is aimed to improve the air-suction performance of a vacuum cleaner through the flow analysis around a motor. The efficiency of the centrifugal fan is affected by blade shape, blade number, blade pitch, etc. The influence of the shape of impeller on the flow is investigated in this study. The flow around the centrifugal fan is simulated by applying the moving mesh. To verify the validity of the computation results, the air flow rate and the pressure field to the cleaner is compared with the experimental data. All simulations are performed by using commercial code SC/Tetra. The calculated results show good agreement with the experimental ones and it is believed to be promising to use computational simulation in the improvement of the vacuum cleaner performance.

The conventional noise control attempts to simply reduce the level of product noise. But it is very straight forward way that we have considered human perception on noise. Since human listening is very sensitive to sound. Evaluation of the sound quality of a vacuum cleaner is studied base on human sensibility engineering. In this paper, we choose six vacuum cleaners that are sold in Korea and reduced noise control. The sound quality of vacuum cleaner noise is analyzed by employing the subjective evaluation and by representing them in terms of the objective quantities. Semantic differential method is used to study sound quality Evaluation. To analyze the sound quality of vacuum cleaner noise, consider the coefficients of correlation between sound metrics and subjective rating. The linear regression models were obtained for the subjective evaluation and sound quality metrics.

Cyclone, a type of particle collector widely used in the field of ambient sampling and industrial particulate control, is the principal type of gas-solids separator that uses a centrifugal force. The goal of this study is to design and evaluate the cyclone that can be used for the household vacuum cleaners. A multi cyclone with a 1st cyclone and several 2nd cyclones is designed to improve dust collection efficiency. The dust collection efficiency and the suction power of 1st cyclone are evaluated. And the dust collection efficiency and the suction power of multi cyclone are evaluated according to various sizes of inlet and vortex finder. As a result, a cone shape porous filter has better dust collection efficiency than a cylinder shape porous filter. The dust collection efficiency of a multi cyclone is 3.5% greater than that of a single cyclone.

본 연구에서는 청소 과정에서 바닥에 먼지가 실내 공기 중으로 비산되는 특성을 공기 중 미세먼지를 측정하여 분석하였다. 신발을 벗지 않고 생활하는 국내 사무실을 대상으로 하였고, 실내 청소 과정에서 발생하는 미세먼지를 측정하였다. 미세먼지($PM_{10}$)와 초미세먼지($PM_{2.5}$)와 $1{\mu}m$ 보다 작은 먼지의 무게농도($PM_{1.0}$)을 분석하였고, 청소 과정에서 발생하는 $0.3{\mu}m$ 이상의 먼지의 크기를 측정하여 분석하였다. 특히, 빗자루질과 진공청소기를 사용하는 과정에서 재비산 되는 미세먼지의 특성을 분석하였고, 입자의 크기에 따른 재비산 특성과 실내 농도 변화 특성을 확인하였다. $PM_{2.5}$와 $PM_{10}$은 청소 시작과 함께 농도가 증가하였고, 청소 이후에도 실내에 부유하여 장시간 인체에 노출될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 반면에 $PM_{1.0}$은 상대적으로 청소과정에서 농도가 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 없었다. 특히, $2.5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ 크기의 먼지는 바닥에 먼지가 많은 조건에서 빗자루질로 청소하는 경우, 초기 농도의 약 60배까지 높아질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 바닥에 먼지가 적은 조건에서 진공청소기를 사용하는 경우도 $2.5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ 크기의 먼지가 증가하였지만 초기 농도의 5배 이하였다. 중성능급 배기필터가 장착된 진공청소기가 가동하는 동안 CPC로 측정된 총 개수농도가 급격히 증가한 후 감소하는 특성이 나타났다. 개수로 대부분을 차지하는 먼지는 250 nm 보다 작은 크기였다. 실내 거주자의 미세먼지 노출은 외부에서 유입된 대기 미세먼지와 실내에서 발생된 실내 생성 미세먼지가 함께 영향을 준다고 알려져 있다. 그렇지만, 국내 실내 활동 중 발생되는 미세먼지에 대한 체계적인 측정과 분석 연구가 많지 않았다. 이미 진행되고 있는 다양한 대기 미세먼지 연구 뿐 아니라 앞으로는 실내의 다양한 활동에 기인한 미세먼지 생성 특성에 대한 심도 깊은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

A potable oil skimmer is in need to remove spilt oils before they spread, which is applicable to various situations of oil viscosity, spill location, current, tides, waves and wind. An air suction skimmer was selected to be developed because of its advantages such as simple structure, excellent transportability, and easy deployment. A prototype operating by a commercial vacuum cleaner was fabricated. Tests of the skimmer showed good performance : the maximum suction rate of water and suction head were 18㎥/h and 2.7m, respectively.

Rotary performance and flow resistance induced by each element in suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner with a double-blade rotary fan are investigated numerically and its relation with flow-induced noise and rotary performance is examined. Flow resistance and vorticity in suction nozzle are calculated and it is found that they are closely related with flow-induced noise. Gap between double blades, adoption of cross-flow fan, enlargement of flow inlet area, and optimization of blade number are tested for noise reduction. Finally, the effects of each method are verified experimentally. It is found that several combinations of the proposed methods can be adopted for noise reduction although the degree of reduction is not much.

The major parts of a vacuum cleaner are molded. The vacuum cleaner works in multi-load conditions. Therefore, the designer needs to optimize the structure and injection molding conditions simultaneously. Here, the main factor of design is the rib shape and thickness. The greater the rib thickness, the greater the stiffness of the structure. However, it causes an increase in weight. On the other hand, the lower the rib thickness, the greater the increase in the injection pressure. However, the weight will be reduced. Therefore, the designer needs to optimize the rib shape and thickness for structure stiffness and injection molding. In order to solve this problem, we propose an optimization method using D.O.E and a response surface model, which is a multi-objective optimization method using the multi-objective genetic algorithm.

In suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, where flow-induced noise is generated mainly by flow resistance, several ideas to reduce noise are investigated. To increase fan performance, blade number is optimized and a centrifugal fan is replaced by a cross-flow fan, In addition, gear ratio of fan to drum brush is changed. It is found that fan performance is increased by adopting these methods. Next, the blade height of the fan is decreased to reduce sound pressure level, which causes inevitably decrease in fan performance. Eventually, flow-induced noise is reduced by 6.3 dBA in its overall level with the fan performance maintained.
