The dust removal structure 1 utilizing airflow whirls in the above embodiment includes the outer barrel 11, the first internal barrel 12, the second internal barrel 13, the whirl barrel 15, and the third internal barrel 14. When the motor is working, the first airflow whirl chamber 101 is formed between the outer barrel 11 and the first internal barrel 12, the second airflow whirl chamber 201 is formed between the first internal barrel 12 and the second internal barrel 13, and the third airflow whirl chamber 301 is formed inside the second internal barrel 13 and the third internal barrel 14, so that part of the dust and debris settles at a bottom of the first airflow whirl chamber 101, the air after the first settlement passes through the first internal barrel 12 and then enters into the second airflow whirl chamber 201 such that part of the dust and debris settles at the bottom of the second airflow whirl chamber 201, and the air after the second settlement passes through the second air outlet 203 and then enters into the whirl chamber 1501 such that the air, after guided by the whirl chamber 1501, enters into the third airflow whirl chamber 301 of the third internal barrel 14 for the third settlement. This dust removal structure 1 utilizing airflow whirls can be used to settle the dust and debris three times, which greatly reduces the amount of dust and debris entering the filter 2. Moreover, the filter 2 is arranged at the whirl barrel 15 which is far away from the third dust collection chamber 302, so that the dust and debris are not easily subjected to the airflow and thus will not enter into the filter 2, thereby the service life of the filter 2 can be prolonged.
In one of the embodiments of the present application, please refer to
Optionally, one side of the outer cylinder portion 111 is rotatably connected to the base portion 112, and another side of the outer cylinder portion 111 is attached to the base portion 112 with a snap-fit, so that the base portion 112 may be opened through rotation relative to the outer cylinder portion 111, thereby facilitating cleaning the dust inside the first dust collection chamber 102 and the third dust collection chamber 302. When it is necessary to clean the dust and debris inside the first dust collection chamber 102 and the third dust collection chamber 302, the snap-fit connecting the outer cylinder portion 111 and the base portion 112 is released, and then the base portion 112 is rotated relative to the outer cylinder portion 111, in this way the dust and debris can be poured out.
Optionally, a sealing ring is provided on a joint surface between the outer cylinder portion 111 and the base portion 112 to prevent the dust and debris from leaking from the base portion 112.

Optionally, the central support portion 154 includes an annular portion 1541 and an internal guiding cylinder 1542. The internal guiding cylinder 1542 is formed by extending an inner ring of the annular portion 1541 toward an axial direction of the third airflow whirl chamber 301, and the annular portion 1541 can partially shield the top of the third airflow whirl chamber 301, so that the airflow after the second settlement is prevented from entering into the filter 2 without the third settlement. The arrangement of the internal guiding cylinder 1542 has a blocking effect on the airflow guided by the diverging blades 1531, and thus prevents the airflow guided by the diverging blades 1531 from directly spraying to the center of the third airflow whirl chamber 301, so that the airflow at the center of the third airflow whirl chamber 301 is relatively stable, thereby maintaining a stable state of continuous airflow input to the filter 2.
Optionally, a reinforcing rib 1543 is provided at one end of the internal guiding cylinder 1542 away from the annular portion 1541. The reinforcing rib 1543 is connected to an inner wall of the internal guiding cylinder 1542, and plays a role of supporting and strengthening the internal guiding cylinder 1542 to prevent the internal guiding cylinder 1542 from being deformed.
The specific structure of the reinforcing rib 1543 is not limited here, and may be a structure such as a cross rib and the like.
