How to make a do-it-yourself vacuum cleaner: phased assembly of parts from an old vacuum cleaner or plastic bottle

With large-scale cleaning of dust or dirt, it will be difficult to cope with the garbage using an ordinary broom. Of course, it is best to use a vacuum cleaner in use. So our task will be to study a detailed analysis of the manufacturing process of a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. It is important to understand that this home-made unit will slightly differ from the one purchased in terms of technical characteristics and multi-level system. The main elements include: a filter (with which air is purified), an engine and a pump.

Materials

We will carry out the assembly on the basis of an old household vacuum cleaner, so the following elements will be required from it:

• Various nozzles;
• Motor part;
• Power regulator;
• Suction hose;
• Power wire.

In addition to the above components, you will need:

• glue;
• plastic barrel capacity. from fifty to eighty liters (required cover);
• bandages;
• scissors with which metal cutting is possible, or a well-sharpened knife;

• drill;
• Scotch;
• jigsaw;
• sealant;
• bolts
• clamp;
• plywood;
• air filter;
• screwdriver;
• self-tapping screws;
• hairpin with washers / nuts;
• a branch pipe two hundred millimeters long and forty millimeters in diameter;
• insulation tape.

Vacuum cleaner assembly

Now step by step we will disassemble the assembly of the device.

First you need to retreat a hundred millimeters from the top face. Mark and drill a hole with a drill so that the pipe fits there. With sharp scissors or a knife, do as follows - edit the hole, you need to tightly place the inner end to the wall at a certain angle (downward).

To fix the element with glue, previously degreasing the working surface. The same fraud is worth doing from the outside of the unit. Use a jigsaw to cut two small circles of plywood so that the diameter is slightly smaller than the top surface of the barrel.

For blanks for bolts, make two holes and fix the subtleties on both sides of the cover. The remaining holes must also be drilled. Remove circles and eliminate all possible burrs. Apply sealant over the entire surface without affecting the centers of the workpieces. Define the fasteners cleanly. Make a round hole in the center of the plywood for the stud, and next to it a bigger hole.

From the air filter, destroy the mesh of metal material so that it does not clog the sawdust and does not interfere with the operability of the device itself. Install the already advanced filter component on the stud.

IMPORTANT! The stud should look up with the nut!

Since the motor part is usually rounded, it is necessary to create the necessary plastic parts (they are taken from the past of an unnecessary vacuum cleaner). As a rule, they are included in the engine. To fix them, you should take a collar.

Next, put the power regulator in the box. Place the above-mentioned element and switch near the engine. Connect all components together. Plug the cable into the plug. It is worth making sure that the assembled structure is correct. Take the hose. If it is short, then it must be increased with some product, for example, corrugation.

Fit the brush head to the hose. The next step is to attach the tube to the dust collector. There are two outcomes of events - either it will ideally fit the hole, or not. In the last case, it is necessary to make the so-called adapter. To do this, take a small tube.

REFERENCE. A drain pipe will do. It must be soldered to the bag retainer.

ATTENTION! At first, you will have to check the filling at the dust collector, since the device is not designed for a sensor. And do not bring dust to a maximum level in the bag.

With your own hands you can make a vacuum cleaner not only from the above materials, but also from a plastic bottle.

Since each person, it can be said, most people have a computer, making such a vacuum cleaner is not difficult. In addition, this method is quite simple and will not cause various difficulties.

It is necessary to cut the bottle into two equal parts. Cut out the filter from the foam rubber and insert it tightly into the neck. Next, you need to take the half in which there is a lid. Insert a hose into it. Then screw the cork onto the bottle. You should take the fan from the PC and smooth its corners.

Insert inward so that air flows toward the back of the bottle. Place the cooler location with insulated tape. The last step is to connect to the power supply fan. It is necessary to bring the red wire to the side with the “plus”, and the black wire with the “minus” sign.

Such a small vacuum cleaner is wonderful to serve you enough time. In addition, it is easy to hold in your hand and work on the elimination of the smallest particles of dust, even with small sizes of parts. In addition, a homemade vacuum cleaner from a bottle can serve as a children's toy and will teach your child the wisdom of cleanliness in a playful way.
