Engine from a vacuum cleaner: where can I apply in everyday life?

Household appliances break down and wear out over time. A vacuum cleaner is a classic household tool for cleaning the house. Often when a breakdown or wear of this unit, people buy a new one, without thinking about what can be done from the heart of the dust collector - the engine.

Today there are many different models of vacuum cleaner. However, all devices are made on a single principle. The engine of the unit during operation gains power, which rotates the impeller.

Disassembly

Engine old vacuum cleaner come in handy to build the necessary appliances in the household. But before creating a new item, you need to get out and disassemble the heart of the dust bag.

Sometimes when disassembling, it becomes difficult to remove the nut, which holds all the parts of the unit together. The nut holder sits firmly in the middle of the motor with sealant.

Attention! You can not rotate the rotor of electric motors with metal devices like a screwdriver, trying to remove the nut. The nut will be removed, and the winding will be damaged. It’s unlikely that you can’t restore the stroke with your own hands.

The following is a simple engine disassembly old vacuum cleaner using conventional tools.

List of required materials

To disassemble you will need:

• pliers;
• screwdrivers;
• a key for loosening a nut with a diameter of 1.2 cm;
• vise;
• 2 bars of wood 10x40 mm;
• round file;
• hacksaw designed for metal surfaces.

The dust collector engine is always assembled in a single way. The difference lies in the volume and mass of parts. Tools must be appropriate for their size.

Procedure

Before disassembling the motor of an old unnecessary vacuum cleaner preparation of the tool and the unit itself is required. First, the brush is unscrewed from the rear surface, then the casing is removed, the role of which in the engine is to cover the impeller from the front side.

Often, the casing is firmly attached to the body. In this case, pliers are used: the edges are unbent on the sides and the casing is wrung out using a screwdriver.

Procedure for loosening the nut:

1. The rotor locks gently by tightly clamping through recesses that are designed for brushes. This will require bars the size of which is indicated above. Wooden blocks are inserted into the recesses under the brushes. The whole structure is tightly pressed to the anchor with a vise. If the bars do not fit into the brush holes, they can be filed with a round file.
2. The nut is unscrewed using a wrench. The key nozzle is selected according to the size of the nut.
3. Removing the rest of the structure. Suitable screwdrivers are taken from the tool kit to unscrew the remaining parts on the engine.

Disassemble the motor in order to determine the breakdown or modernization to create other useful items in the home.

Creature

What can be useful to do from the engine from a vacuum cleaner? The following are products that are designed using a dust collector motor.

Lawn mower

For people who think where to introduce the engine from a vacuum cleaner, it is proposed to design their own lawn mower.

This object suitable in everyday life is constructed with the help of the heart of a vacuum cleaner in working condition. Usually dust collectors wear out and are thrown out in the trash. Instead, the engine of the unit can be used to build a lawn mower: sufficient power - 500 watts.

Materials required for assembly:

• apparatus for welding;
• Sheet steel;
• unnecessary pram;
• old saw or hacksaw.

To begin with, the wheels of the stroller are separated. It is better if the wheels are large, as this will ensure the product is passable on uneven and rough soil. Excess parts are trimmed, but you can leave the handles, as it will be convenient to hold the lawn mower while moving.

Next, a platform is constructed, on which the engine with the dust collector shaft is then placed. It is necessary to observe the rules under which the platform with the shaft will be turned to the bottom. To protect such an engine and shaft from possible damage, you need to cut a casing about 1.2 cm thick. A hole is cut through the casing. The hole size should be 0.5 cm larger placed on the engine platform. Before installation, the distance from the motor to the floor is measured. The distance is not less than 3 cm.

The next step is cutting the steel disc. Diameter - 35-45 cm. The volume of a disk is compared with the force applied for untwisting. A drive of 45 cm or more requires a powerful motor. In constructing a lawn mower, it is better to use a larger disc, since the power of this vacuum engine never fails. A hole is drilled in the central part of the cut out disk. Through it passes the tip of the shaft with the engine.

2 cm are measured from the sides of the disk, then 2 holes for knives are drilled at the indicated distance.

The old saw is deformed and turned into 2 knives. Before inserting into the above holes, the knives sharpen. Recommended length - 5.5 cm, width - 3 cm. Using M6 bolts, the cut-out parts are fixed to the disk. Knives every 3 lawn mowings.

Trimmer

Trimmer - a device that acts as a lawn mower for hard-to-reach spots.

To build a garden tool you will need:

• rod;
• dust collector motor;
• homemade knives;
• plastic or steel disc.

The engine is fixed at the foot of the bar. Knives of the size similar to those in the above section are mounted on the shaft. Another option is to attach a disk to the shaft and make a hole in it for threading the fishing line. From above, for protection, the device is covered and secured with a casing.

Alternatively, you can use a casing made of plastic. It can be built from the sewer pipe, which is usually used when installing the mixer.

To cool a high-power engine, the following device is manufactured: under the place where the fishing line is inserted, a disk with concave blades is inserted. This part serves as a fan.

Fan

An excellent fan for cleaning rooms comes out of the motor of the old dust collector. What will be needed for construction:

• compacted gum;
• turbine motor;
• half of the body from a vacuum cleaner.

The wires are output to the housing and the motor is fixed. Then put on elastic bands and a casing to protect against damage. At one end, air is sucked in, and at the other end.

Finished blower design

A plastic cone is attached to the place where the air mass exits, the end of which is cut off.

Next, a plastic tube is attached to the body, which will serve as a handle for holding. It is necessary to bend the tube carefully so as not to break it, so it is better to heat the bend area with a hairdryer for several minutes.

Turbine vacuum cleaners have great power, so there is a strong air ventilation. Apply built fan for cleaning construction equipment and premises. The main plus is no cost.
