Abstract

A debris compactor may include an inlet configured to receive debris, an auger chamber having an auger extending therein, and a dust cup disposed at a distal end of the auger chamber. The auger may be configured to urge the debris into the dust cup.

Claims (20)

What is claimed is:
1. A debris compactor comprising: an inlet configured to receive debris; an auger chamber having an auger extending therein; and a dust cup disposed at a distal end of the auger chamber, the auger being configured to urge the debris into the dust cup.
2. The debris compactor of claim 1 further comprising an outlet configured to be coupled to a suction source to cause air to be drawn across the auger.
3. The debris compactor of claim 2 further comprising a filter medium, the filter medium being disposed at the outlet.
4. The debris compactor of claim 3, wherein the auger is configured to engage the filter medium.
5. The debris compactor of claim 1 further comprising a motor configured to cause the auger to rotate within the auger chamber.
6. The debris compactor of claim 1, wherein a peripheral edge of the auger includes a peripheral lining.
7. A collection system for collecting debris comprising: a debris compactor, the debris compactor including: an inlet configured to receive debris; and an auger chamber having an auger extending therein; a dust cup configured to receive debris from the debris compactor; and a suction source configured to draw air through the debris compactor.
8. The collection system of claim 7, wherein the debris compactor further comprises a filter medium disposed at an outlet of the auger chamber.
9. The collection system of claim 8 further comprising a motor configured to rotate the auger.
10. The collection system of claim 9, wherein the auger is configured to engage the filter medium and rotation of the auger urges debris accumulated on the filter medium in a direction of the dust cup.
11. The collection system of claim 7 further comprising a cyclonic separator fluidly coupled to the suction source and the debris compactor.
12. The collection system of claim 11 , wherein the dust cup is further configured to receive debris from the cyclonic separator.
13. The collection system of claim 12, wherein the dust cup defines at least a first and a second compartment, the first compartment corresponding to the debris compactor and the second compartment corresponding to the cyclonic separator.
14. A vacuum cleaner comprising: a chassis; and a collection system for collecting debris coupled to the chassis, the collection system including: a debris compactor, the debris compactor including: an inlet configured to receive debris; and an auger chamber having an auger extending therein; a dust cup configured to receive debris from the debris compactor; and a suction source configured to draw air through the debris compactor.
15. The vacuum cleaner of claim 14, wherein the debris compactor further comprises a filter medium at an outlet of the auger chamber.
16. The vacuum cleaner of claim 15 further comprising a motor configured to rotate the auger.
17. The vacuum cleaner of claim 16, wherein the auger is configured to engage the filter medium and rotation of the auger urges debris accumulated on the filter medium in a direction of the dust cup.
18. The vacuum cleaner of claim 14 further comprising a cyclonic separator fluidly coupled to the suction source and the debris compactor.
19. The vacuum cleaner of claim 18, wherein the dust cup is further configured to receive debris from the cyclonic separator.
20. The vacuum cleaner of claim 19, wherein the dust cup defines at least a first and a second compartment, the first compartment corresponding to the debris compactor and the second compartment corresponding to the cyclonic separator.
