상술한 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 제 1도어(22)와 제 2도어(23)는 각각 제 1접촉 돌기(22d)와 제 2접촉 돌기(23d)를 포함한다. 다만, 본 발명의 제 2실시예에 따른 제 1도어(22)와 제 2도어(23)는 접촉돌기를 포함하지 않는다.In the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the first door 22 and the second door 23 include a first contact protrusion 22d and a second contact protrusion 23d, respectively. However, the first door 22 and the second door 23 according to the second embodiment of the present invention do not include contact protrusions.
따라서 제 1접촉부(22c)와 제 2접촉부(23c)는 평면형태로 마련될 수 있다.Therefore, the first contact portion 22c and the second contact portion 23c may be provided in a flat shape.

이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 이물질이 제 1도어(22)와 제 2도어(23) 사이를 통해 외부로 유출되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Accordingly, it is possible to prevent foreign matter inside the dust collecting container 20 from flowing out through the first door 22 and the second door 23.
이하에서는 유량 변화장치(150)에 대하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, the flow rate change device 150 will be described.
도 9는 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 청소기가 스테이션에 결합된 상태에서 유로 커버가 폐쇄될 시의 도 3에 도시된 BB'부분의 단면도이고, 도 10은 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 청소기가 스테이션에 결합된 상태에서 유로 커버가 개방될 시의 도 3에 도시된 BB'부분의 단면도이다.9 is a cross-sectional view of the BB' portion shown in FIG. 3 when the flow path cover is closed in a state in which the cleaner according to the first embodiment of the present invention is coupled to a station, and FIG. 10 is a first embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the BB' portion shown in FIG. 3 when the flow path cover is opened in a state in which the vacuum cleaner is coupled to the station.
상술한 바와 같이 집진통(20)에 집진된 이물질은 흡입 장치(130)를 통해 외부로 배출되고 흡입 장치(130)의 포집부(미도시)에 포집될 수 있다.As described above, the foreign matter collected in the dust collecting container 20 may be discharged to the outside through the suction device 130 and collected in a collection part (not shown) of the suction device 130.
집진통(20)의 집진통 도어(21)를 통해 집진통(20) 내부의 공기와 이물질이 흡입 유로(132)를 통해 외부로 배출될 수 있는데 이물질 중 일부는 집진통(20)의 내부 구성에 걸려 외부로 배출되지 못할 수 있다.Air and foreign matters inside the dust collector 20 may be discharged to the outside through the suction passage 132 through the dust collector door 21 of the dust collector 20, and some of the foreign substances are internal to the dust collector 20. It may get caught and cannot be discharged outside.
예를 들어 머리카락 등과 같은 이물질이 집진통(20) 내부 구성에 걸려 집진통 도어(21)의 하측으로 발생하는 흡입기류에 이물질이 집진통(20) 외부로 이탈되지 않고 집진통(20) 내부에 잔존될 수 있다.For example, foreign matter, such as hair, is caught in the internal configuration of the dust collector 20, and foreign matter is not released into the dust collector 20 outside the dust collector 20 inside the dust collector 20 without being displaced outside the dust collector 20. Can remain.
집진통(20) 내부에 전달되는 흡입 기류는 집진통(20)의 하부 방향으로만 향하도록 형성될 수 있다. 이에 따라 일부 이물질은 흡입 기류가 형성되는 방향에 대해 저항력을 가질 수 있어 흡입 기류에 의해 집진통(20) 외부로 이탈되지 않을 수 있다.The suction airflow delivered to the inside of the dust collecting container 20 may be formed to be directed only toward the lower direction of the dust collecting container 20. Accordingly, some foreign substances may have resistance to the direction in which the intake air flow is formed, and thus may not escape to the outside of the dust collector 20 by the intake air flow.
이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 이물질이 효과적으로 제거될 수 없는 문제가 발생할 수 있다.Accordingly, a problem that foreign matters inside the dust collector 20 cannot be effectively removed may occur.
본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 도킹 스테이션(100)은 상술한 문제를 해결하기 위해 선택적으로 흡입 기류 외 추가적인 외기를 집진통(20)에 제공하도록 마련되는 유량 변화장치(150)를 포함할 수 있다. Docking station 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a flow rate change device 150 is provided to selectively provide additional outside air in addition to the intake air flow to the dust collector 20 to solve the above problems. .
유량 변화장치(150)는 집진통(20)의 내부에 흡입 기류가 공급되어 흡입 장치(130)에 의해 집진통(20) 내부의 공기가 흡입되는 중에 집진통(20) 내부의 유량을 변화시켜 집진통(20) 내부의 공기의 흐름을 다양하게 변화시킬 수 있다.The flow rate changing device 150 changes the flow rate inside the dust collector 20 while the air inside the dust collector 20 is sucked by the suction device 130 by supplying the suction air stream inside the dust collector 20. The air flow inside the dust collector 20 may be varied.
상술한 바와 같이 흡입 팬(131)에 의해 집진통(20) 내부에서는 공기의 흐름이 하측으로 향하도록 형성된다. 특히 집진통(20) 내부는 흡입 팬(131)에 의해 지속적으로 외측으로 배출되는 바 공기압이 대기압 대비 음압이 형성될 수 있다.As described above, the inside of the dust collector 20 by the suction fan 131 is formed so that the flow of air is directed downward. In particular, the inside of the dust collector 20 is continuously discharged to the outside by the suction fan 131, so that the air pressure may be formed to be negative compared to atmospheric pressure.
이 때, 유량 변화장치(150)에 의해 추가적으로 집진통(20)에 외기가 공급될 시 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 순간 상승될 수 있다. 공기압이 상승되면서 집진통(20) 내부의 공기의 흐름이 변화될 수 있으며 순간적으로 하측으로만 향하던 공기의 흐름이 사방으로 변하게 될 수 있다.At this time, when the outside air is supplied to the dust collector 20 additionally by the flow rate change device 150, the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 may be instantaneously raised. As the air pressure increases, the flow of air inside the dust collector 20 can be changed, and the flow of air that was directed only downward can be changed in all directions.
집진통(20) 내부의 공기 유량이 변하면서 집진통(20) 내부 공간에서 공기가 사방으로 퍼지게 되고 이에 따라 하측으로만 향하던 공기의 흐름이 다 방향으로 변하게 될 수 있다.As the air flow rate inside the dust collector 20 changes, the air spreads in all directions in the space inside the dust collector 20, and accordingly, the flow of air directed only downward may be changed in multiple directions.
기류의 방향이 순간적으로 변화됨에 따라 하측 방향에 대해 저항력을 가지던 일부 이물질은 다른 방향으로 유동되는 공기에 의해 저항력을 잃고 기류와 함께 집진통(20) 외부로 이탈될 수 있다.As the direction of the air flow changes instantaneously, some foreign substances having resistance to the lower direction may lose resistance by air flowing in the other direction and may escape outside the dust collector 20 together with the air flow.
유량 변화장치(150)는 소정의 시간 동안 집진통(20)에 공기를 제공하고 다시 소정의 시간 동안 공기의 제공을 차단하도록 마련되고, 이와 같이 집진통(20)에 외기를 공급. 차단을 반복하여 주기적으로 집진통(20) 내부의 공기의 흐름을 변화시킬 수 있다.The flow rate change device 150 is provided to provide air to the dust collector 20 for a predetermined time, and to block the supply of air again for a predetermined time, thus supplying outside air to the dust collector 20. By repeatedly blocking, the air flow inside the dust collector 20 may be changed periodically.
도 9 및 도 10에 도시된 바와 같이, 유량 변화장치(150)는 집진 가이드(30)와 연결되는 연결 유로(151)를 포함할 수 있다.9 and 10, the flow rate changing device 150 may include a connection flow path 151 connected to the dust collecting guide 30.
연결 유로(151)의 일단은 집진 가이드(30)와 연결되고 연결 유로(151)의 타단은 외기가 유입될 수 있도록 마련될 수 있다.One end of the connection flow path 151 is connected to the dust collecting guide 30, and the other end of the connection flow path 151 may be provided to allow outside air to flow in.

One end of the connection flow path 151 communicates with the second opening 142 and the other end of the connection flow path 151 is disposed inside the docking housing 140 so that air inside the docking housing 140 can be introduced. have.
상술한 바와 같이 집진 가이드(30)와 집진통(20)은 연통되게 마련되어 집진 가이드(30)가 외부에 대해 개방될 시 집진 가이드(30)를 통해 외기가 집진통(20)으로 유입될 수 있다. (도 4참고)As described above, the dust collecting guide 30 and the dust collecting container 20 are provided in communication, and when the dust collecting guide 30 is opened to the outside, outside air may be introduced into the dust collecting container 20 through the dust collecting guide 30. .

유량 변화장치(150)는 연결 유로(151)의 타단을 커버하는 유로 커버(152)를 포함한다. The flow rate change device 150 includes a flow path cover 152 covering the other end of the connection flow path 151.
유로 커버(152)는 유로 커버(152)의 일측에 배치되고 유로 커버(152)가 연결 유로(151)에 대해 회전 가능하게 결합되도록 마련되는 힌지부(152a)를 포함할 수 있다.The flow path cover 152 may include a hinge portion 152a disposed on one side of the flow path cover 152 and provided so that the flow path cover 152 is rotatably coupled to the connection flow path 151.
유로 커버(152)는 힌지부(152a)를 회전축으로 연결 유로(151)에 대해 회전될 수 있다. 유로 커버(152)는 연결 유로(151)를 폐쇄하도록 연결 유로(151)의 타단을 커버하는 위치에서 힌지축(152a)을 중심으로 하측으로 회전될 수 있다.The flow path cover 152 may be rotated relative to the connection flow path 151 using the hinge portion 152a as a rotation axis. The flow path cover 152 may be rotated downward about the hinge axis 152a at a position covering the other end of the connection flow path 151 to close the connection flow path 151.
유량 변화장치(150)는 유로 커버(152)를 탄성 지지하도록 마련되는 커버 탄성부재(156)를 포함할 수 있다.The flow rate changing device 150 may include a cover elastic member 156 provided to elastically support the flow path cover 152.

커버 탄성부재(156)에 의해 유로 커버(152)는 상측으로 가압될 수 있으며, 이에 따라 커버 탄성부재(156)는 힌지축(152a)을 중심으로 연결 유로(151)의 타단 방향으로 유로 커버(152)가 회전되도록 유로 커버(152)를 탄성 지지할 수 있다.The flow path cover 152 may be pressed upward by the cover elastic member 156, and accordingly, the cover elastic member 156 may cover the flow path in the other direction of the connection flow path 151 about the hinge axis 152a ( The flow path cover 152 may be elastically supported to rotate 152.
따라서 외압이 없을 시 유로 커버(152)는 커버 탄성부재(156)에 의해 연결 유로(151)를 폐쇄할 수 있다. 다만 외압에 의해 유로 커버(152)가 하측으로 가압될 시 유로 커버(152)는 힌지축(152a)을 중심으로 하측으로 회전될 수 있으며 이에 의해 연결 유로(151)의 외부로 개방될 수 있다.Therefore, when there is no external pressure, the flow path cover 152 may close the connection flow path 151 by the cover elastic member 156. However, when the flow path cover 152 is pressed downward by external pressure, the flow path cover 152 may be rotated downward about the hinge shaft 152a, thereby opening to the outside of the connection flow path 151.
유량 변화장치(150)는 유로 커버(152)를 통해 연결 유로(151)를 선택적으로 개폐하는 개폐 유닛(155)을 포함할 수 있다.The flow rate changing device 150 may include an opening/closing unit 155 that selectively opens and closes the connection flow path 151 through the flow path cover 152.
개폐 유닛(155)이 유로 커버(152)를 연결 유로(151)로부터 분리시켜 연결 유로(151)의 타단이 외부에 개방될 시 연결유로(151)에 외기가 유입되고 유입된 외기는 연결유로(151)와 집진 가이드(30)를 통해 집진통(20) 내부로 유입될 수 있다.When the opening/closing unit 155 separates the flow path cover 152 from the connection flow path 151, when the other end of the connection flow path 151 is opened to the outside, outside air flows into the connection flow path 151 and the outside air flows into the connection flow path ( 151) and the dust collecting guide 30 may be introduced into the dust collecting container 20.

개폐부재(154)는 가압부(152b)를 하측으로 가압할 수 있다. 이에 따라 유로 커버(152)는 힌지부(152a)를 중심으로 하측으로 가압되고 유로 커버(152)는 개방 위치에 배치될 수 있다.The opening/closing member 154 may press the pressing portion 152b downward. Accordingly, the flow path cover 152 is pressed downward from the center of the hinge portion 152a, and the flow path cover 152 may be disposed in an open position.
따라서 개폐부재(154)가 가압부(152b)를 가압할 시 유로 커버(152)가 개방되고 연결 유로(151)는 외부에 개방될 수 있다.Accordingly, when the opening/closing member 154 presses the pressing portion 152b, the flow path cover 152 is opened and the connection flow path 151 can be opened to the outside.
개폐부재(154)의 가압이 종료될 시 가압부(152b)는 커버 탄성부재(156)에 의해 다시 상측으로 회전되어 유로 커버(152)를 폐쇄할 수 있다.When the pressing of the opening and closing member 154 is finished, the pressing portion 152b may be rotated upward by the cover elastic member 156 again to close the flow path cover 152.

즉 계속되는 개폐부재(154)의 회전에 따라 복수의 가압 돌기(154a) 중 어느 하나는 L을 지나게 되고 이에 따라 가압부(152b)에 대한 복수의 가압 돌기(154a) 중 어느 하나의 가압은 종료될 수 있다.That is, as one of the plurality of pressing protrusions 154a passes through L according to the continuous rotation of the opening and closing member 154, the pressing of any one of the plurality of pressing protrusions 154a against the pressing portion 152b will end. Can be.
유로 커버(152)는 개폐부재(154)와 동일한 회전 방향으로 회전되어 다시 연결 유로(151)를 폐쇄할 수 있다.The flow path cover 152 is rotated in the same rotation direction as the opening/closing member 154 to close the connection flow path 151 again.
도 10에 도시된 바와 같이 유로 커버(152)가 연결 유로(151)를 폐쇄하는 과정에서 개폐부재(154)는 계속 회전될 수 있다. 이 때. 비가압부(154b)가 L을 통과할 수 있다.10, the opening and closing member 154 may be continuously rotated while the flow path cover 152 closes the connection flow path 151.

By doing so, the flow path cover 152 can be opened.
상술한 바와 같이 복수의 가압돌기(154a)와 비가압부(154b)가 교대로 L을 관통하면서, 개폐부재(154)는 유로 커버(152)를 교대로 개방하고 폐쇄시킬 수 있다.As described above, while the plurality of pressing protrusions 154a and the non-pressing portion 154b alternately pass through L, the opening/closing member 154 can alternately open and close the flow path cover 152.

이하에서는 본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154')에 대하여 설명한다. 본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154') 외의 구성은 상술한 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 구성과 모두 동일한 바 중복되는 설명은 생략한다.Hereinafter, the opening/closing member 154' according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration other than the opening/closing member 154' according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as the configuration according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, so a duplicate description is omitted.
도 12는 본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 청소기가 스테이션에 결합된 상태에서 유로 커버가 폐쇄될 시의 도 3에 도시된 BB'부분의 단면도이다.12 is a cross-sectional view of the BB' portion shown in FIG. 3 when the flow path cover is closed in the state in which the cleaner according to the third embodiment of the present invention is coupled to a station.
상술한 본 발명의 일 실시예의 개폐부재(154)의 가압돌기(154a)는 4개로 형성될 수 있다. 다만 이에 한정되지 않고 복수의 가압돌기(154a)는 4개 이하 또는 이상으로 마련될 수 있다.The pressing protrusions 154a of the opening and closing member 154 of the embodiment of the present invention described above may be formed of four. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the plurality of pressing protrusions 154a may be provided in four or less or more.
본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154')는 2개의 가압돌기(154a')를 포함할 수 있다.The opening and closing member 154' according to the third embodiment of the present invention may include two pressing protrusions 154a'.
가압돌기(154a')의 개수가 줄어듦에 따라 비가압부(154b')가 차지하는 범위가 증가할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154')가 구동될 시 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154)가 구동될 시 보다 유로 커버(152)를 개방하는 시간이 짧아질 수 있다.As the number of pressurized projections 154a' decreases, the range occupied by the non-pressurized portion 154b' may increase. Accordingly, when the opening and closing member 154' according to the third embodiment of the present invention is driven, the time to open the flow path cover 152 is greater than when the opening and closing member 154 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is driven. It can be shortened.
본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154')가 1회전할 시 개폐부재(154')는 유로 커버(152)를 2회 개방하는 반면, 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 개폐부재(154)는 1회전 시 4회 유로 커버(152)를 개방할 수 있기 때문이다.When the opening and closing member 154' according to the third embodiment of the present invention rotates once, the opening and closing member 154' opens the flow path cover 152 twice, whereas the opening and closing member according to the first embodiment of the present invention This is because the 154 can open the flow path cover 152 four times in one rotation.

반대로 도면에는 도시되지 않았으나 개폐부재(154')의 가압돌기(154a')가 4개보다 많이 형성될 시, 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 개방부재(154)보다 유로 커버(152)를 더 많이 개방할 수 있다.On the contrary, although not shown in the drawing, when more than four pressing protrusions 154a' of the opening and closing member 154' are formed, the flow path cover 152 is more than the opening member 154 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It can be opened a lot.
따라서 본 발명의 제 3실시예에 따른 유량 변화장치(150')는 본 발명의 제 1실시예에 따른 유량 변화장치(150)보다 더 많은량의 외기를 집진통(20)에 제공할 수 있다.Therefore, the flow rate change device 150' according to the third embodiment of the present invention can provide more dust to the dust collector 20 than the flow rate change device 150 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. .
이와 같이 개폐부재(154')의 가압돌기(154a')의 개수의 변화를 통해 집진통(20)에 제공되는 외기의 양을 다양하게 조절할 수 있다. 따라서 집진통(20) 내부의 형상 등에 따라 최적의 외기 공급을 해석하고 이에 맞게 외기가 집진통(20) 내부로 공급되도록 개폐부재(154')의 형상은 다양하게 마련될 수 있다.In this way, the amount of outside air provided to the dust collecting container 20 can be variously adjusted through a change in the number of the pressing protrusions 154a' of the opening and closing member 154'. Accordingly, the shape of the opening/closing member 154' may be variously provided to analyze the optimal supply of outside air according to the shape of the dust collector 20 and the like and to supply the outside air to the dust collector 20 accordingly.

상술한 제 1실시예 내지 제 7실시예에 따른 유량 변화장치(150,170,180,190,200)의 경우 흡입 장치에서 공급되는 흡입 기류는 일정 상태로 유지되는 상태에서 집진통(20) 내부에 추가적으로 외기를 공급하거나 차단하여 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압을 변경하였다.In the case of the flow rate change apparatuses 150, 170, 180, 190, 200 according to the first to seventh embodiments described above, the intake air supplied from the suction device is additionally supplied or blocked by supplying or blocking outside air inside the dust collector 20 while being maintained at a constant state The air pressure inside the dust collector 20 was changed.
다만 제 8실시예에 따른 유량 변화장치(210)는 집진통(20)에 공급되는 흡입 기류량 자체를 변경하여 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압을 변경하도록 마련될 수 있다.However, the flow rate change device 210 according to the eighth embodiment may be provided to change the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 by changing the amount of intake air flow itself supplied to the dust collector 20.
즉, 유량 변화장치(210)는 후술할 흡입 장치(330)와 집진통(20)과 연통되는 연결 유로(212)를 선택적으로 개폐하여 흡입 장치(330)에서 형성되는 흡입 기류를 집진통(20)에 공급 또는 차단하여 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압을 변화시킬 수 있다.That is, the flow rate change device 210 selectively opens and closes the suction device 330 to be described later and the connection flow path 212 communicating with the dust collector 20 to collect the suction airflow formed in the suction device 330. ) Can be supplied or blocked to change the air pressure inside the dust collector 20.

즉, 제 1실시예 내지 제 7실시예의 유량 변화장치(150,170,180,190,200) 의 경우 집진통(20)에 주기적으로 외기를 공급하도록 마련되고 이에 따라 외기가 공급되는 만큼 흡입 기류량이 손실될 수 있다.That is, in the case of the flow rate changing devices 150, 170, 180, 190, 200 of the first to seventh embodiments, the outside air is periodically supplied to the dust collector 20, and accordingly, the amount of intake air flow may be lost as the outside air is supplied.
다만, 제 8실시예의 유량 변화장치(210)의 경우 집진통(20)에 추가적으로 외기를 공급하지 않기 때문에 외기의 공급에 의해 집진통(20) 내부에서 손실되는 흡입기류가 없다. 따라서 제 8실시예의 유량 변화장치(210)는 제 1실시예 내지 제 7실시예의 유량 변화장치(150,170,180,190,200) 대비 더 효율적으로 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압을 변경시킬 수 있다.However, in the case of the flow rate change device 210 of the eighth embodiment, since no additional air is supplied to the dust collector 20, there is no intake air flow lost inside the dust collector 20 due to the supply of the outside air. Therefore, the flow rate change device 210 of the eighth embodiment can change the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 more efficiently than the flow rate change devices 150, 170, 180, 190, 200 of the first to seventh embodiments.
상술한 바와 같이 유량 변화장치(210)는 포집부(350)와 흡입 장치(330) 사이에 배치될 수 있다. 다만, 이에 한정되지 않고 유량 변화장치(210)는 포집부(350)와 흡입 유로(341) 사이에 배치되도록 마련될 수 있다.As described above, the flow rate change device 210 may be disposed between the collection part 350 and the suction device 330.

Since it is introduced into the dust collector, some loss of intake air flow to the dust collector 20 may occur.
또한 유량 변화장치(210)가 포집부(350)와 흡입 유로(341) 사이에 배치될 시 집진통(20)에서 배출된 이물질이 포함된 공기가 유량 변화장치(210)를 통과하는 바 위생상의 문제가 발생할 수 있다.In addition, when the flow rate change device 210 is disposed between the collection part 350 and the suction flow path 341, air containing foreign matter discharged from the dust collecting tube 20 passes through the flow rate change device 210, and thus, Problems may arise.
따라서 유량 변화장치(210)는 바람직하게 흡입 장치(330)와 포집부(350) 사이에 배치될 수 있다.Therefore, the flow rate change device 210 may be preferably disposed between the suction device 330 and the collecting part 350.
즉, 흡입장치(330)에서 발생한 흡입 기류는 유량 변화장치(210)와 포집부(350)와 흡입 유로(341) 및 안착부(342)를 순차적으로 거쳐 집진통(20)에 공급될 수 있다.That is, the suction air flow generated from the suction device 330 may be supplied to the dust collector 20 through the flow rate changing device 210, the collecting part 350, the suction flow path 341, and the seating part 342 sequentially. .

절개부(213a)는 원통 형상의 중심축을 중심으로 대칭되는 한 쌍으로 마련될 수 있다.The incision 213a may be provided in a pair that is symmetrical about a central axis of a cylindrical shape.
상술한 바와 같이 유로 밸브(213)는 연결 유로(212) 상에 회전되도록 마련될 수 있다. 구동 모터(214)의 회전에 의해 유로 밸브(213)가 일 방향으로 회전되는데, 유로 밸브(213)가 일방향으로 회전 중에 연결 유로(212) 상에서 흡입 기류가 유동되는 방향(D)과 한 쌍의 절개부(213a)가 마주하도록 유로 밸브(213)가 배치될 시, 흡입 기류는 절개부(213a)를 관통하여 연결 유로(212) 내부에서 유동될 수 있다.As described above, the flow path valve 213 may be provided to rotate on the connection flow path 212. The flow path valve 213 is rotated in one direction by the rotation of the drive motor 214, while the flow path valve 213 is rotated in one direction, a pair of the direction D in which the suction air flows on the connection flow path 212 is paired. When the flow path valve 213 is disposed so that the incision portion 213a faces the suction airflow may flow through the incision portion 213a and flow in the connection flow path 212.
즉, 도 28에 도시된 바와 같이 유로 밸브(213)의 회전 중에 한 쌍의 절개부(213a)가 흡입 기류의 유동 방향(D)과 마주할 시 유로 밸브(213)의 위치를 개방 위치(213(o))라고 가정할 시, 유로 밸브(213)가 회전 중에 개방 위치(213(o))에 배치되면 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)으로 공급될 수 있다.That is, as shown in FIG. 28, when the pair of incision parts 213a face the flow direction D of the intake air flow during rotation of the flow path valve 213, the position of the flow path valve 213 is opened (213). Assuming (o)), when the flow path valve 213 is disposed in the open position 213 (o) during rotation, suction airflow may be supplied to the dust collector 20.
또한 유로 밸브(213)가 일방향으로 회전 중에 연결 유로(212) 상에서 흡입 기류가 유동되는 방향(D)과 바디부(213b)가 마주하도록 유로 밸브(213)가 배치될 시, 흡입 기류는 바디부(213b)에 의해 기류의 흐름이 제한될 수 있다. 흡입 기류는 바디부(213b)에 블록되어 흡입 장치(330)에서 포집부(350)로 유동되지 못하여 집진통(20)에 흡입기류가 공급되지 않는다.In addition, when the flow path valve 213 is arranged such that the body portion 213b faces the direction D in which the flow of suction air flows on the connection flow path 212 while the flow path valve 213 is rotated in one direction, the suction air flow is the body portion The flow of airflow may be restricted by 213b. The intake airflow is blocked in the body portion 213b and is not flowed from the inhalation device 330 to the collection portion 350, so that the intake airflow is not supplied to the dust collecting container 20.
즉, 도 29에 도시된 바와 같이 유로 밸브(213)의 회전 중에 바디부(213b)가 흡입 기류의 유동 방향(D)과 마주할 시 유로 밸브(213)의 위치를 폐쇄 위치(213(c))라고 가정할 시, 유로 밸브(213)가 회전 중에 폐쇄 위치(213(c))에 배치되면 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)로 공급될 수 없다.That is, as shown in FIG. 29, when the body portion 213b faces the flow direction D of the intake air stream during rotation of the flow path valve 213, the position of the flow path valve 213 is closed (213 (c)). Assuming ), when the flow path valve 213 is disposed in the closed position 213 (c) during rotation, suction airflow cannot be supplied to the dust collector 20.
구동 모터(214)가 일방향으로 회전됨에 따라 흡입 기류가 유동되는 방향(D)으로 절개부(213a)와 바디부(213b)이 순차적으로 배치될 수 있다. 이에 따라 유로 밸브(213)가 연결 유로(212)를 순차적으로 개방하고 폐쇄할 수 있다.As the driving motor 214 is rotated in one direction, the incision 213a and the body 213b may be sequentially arranged in a direction D in which the intake air flows. Accordingly, the flow path valve 213 may sequentially open and close the connection flow path 212.
유로 밸브(213)의 개폐에 따라 집진통(20)에 흡입기류가 공급되거나 공급이 중단될 수 있는데 이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 변경될 수 있다.Depending on the opening and closing of the flow path valve 213, the intake air flow may be supplied to the dust collecting container 20 or the supply may be stopped, and accordingly, the air pressure inside the dust collecting container 20 may be changed.
유로 밸브(213)가 개방될 시 집진통(20)에 흡입 기류가 공급될 시 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 저하될 수 있으며, 유로 밸브(213)가 폐쇄될 시 집진통(20)에 흡입 기류의 공급이 중단되어 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 상승될 수 있다.When the flow path valve 213 is opened, when the intake airflow is supplied to the dust collector 20, the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 may be reduced, and when the flow path valve 213 is closed, Supply of the intake air stream is stopped, and the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 may be increased.
이와 같이 유로 밸브(213)가 주기적으로 연결 유로(212)를 개방 폐쇄하여 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 상승 하강되고 이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 공기의 유동 방향이 다양하게 형성될 수 있다.As such, the flow path valve 213 periodically opens and closes the connection flow path 212 to increase and decrease the air pressure inside the dust collector 20, and accordingly, various flow directions of air inside the dust collector 20 may be formed. have.
집진통(20)이 안착부(342)에 안착될 시 스위치 유닛(미도시)에 의해 청소기(10)의 도킹이 감지되고 이에 따라 유량 변화장치(210)가 구동될 수 있다.When the dust collector 20 is seated on the seating portion 342, docking of the cleaner 10 is detected by a switch unit (not shown), and the flow rate changing device 210 can be driven accordingly.
제어부(미도시)는 소정의 시간 동안 유로 밸브(213)가 개방 위치(213(o))위치에 배치되도록 구동 모터(214)를 제어할 수 있다. 소정의 시간이 지난 후 제어부(미도시)는 유로 밸브(213)가 또 다른 소정의 시간 동안 폐쇄 위치(213(c))에 배치되도록 구동 모터(214)를 제어할 수 있다.The control unit (not shown) may control the drive motor 214 such that the flow path valve 213 is disposed at the open position 213 (o) for a predetermined time. After a predetermined time, the control unit (not shown) may control the drive motor 214 such that the flow path valve 213 is disposed in the closed position 213 (c) for another predetermined time.
즉, 제어부(미도시)는 유로 밸브(213)가 개방 위치(213(o)) 및 폐쇄 위치(213(c))에 순차적으로 일정 주기에 따라 배치되도록 구동 모터(214)를 제어할 수 있다.That is, the control unit (not shown) may control the drive motor 214 such that the flow path valve 213 is sequentially disposed in the open position 213(o) and the closed position 213(c) according to a predetermined cycle. .
바람직하게는 제어부(미도시)는 일정 주기 내에서 유로 밸브(213)가 개방 위치(213(o))에 배치되는 기간이 폐쇄 위치(213(c))에 배치되는 기간보다 길도록 구동 모터(214)를 제어할 수 있다. 이는 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)에 공급되는 양을 증가시키기 위함이다.Preferably, the control unit (not shown) drives the motor so that the period in which the flow path valve 213 is disposed in the open position 213(o) within a certain period is longer than the period in which the flow path valve 213 is disposed in the closed position 213(c). 214). This is to increase the amount of intake airflow supplied to the dust collector (20).
이와 같이 유량 변화장치(210)가 집진통(210)에 공급되는 흡입 기류량을 선택적으로 변경할 수 있다. 집진통(210)에 공급되는 흡입 기류량이 변경됨에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압이 흡입 기류량에 따라 변경될 수 있고, 이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부에서의 공기의 흐름이 다양하게 형성되어 흡입 효율이 상승될 수 있다.In this way, the flow rate change device 210 can selectively change the amount of intake air supplied to the dust collector 210. As the amount of intake air supplied to the dust collector 210 is changed, the air pressure inside the dust collector 20 may be changed according to the amount of intake air, and accordingly, the air flow in the dust collector 20 is variously formed. The suction efficiency can be increased.
다만, 이에 한정되지 않고 제어부(미도시)는 유로 밸브(213)의 절개부(213a)에 있어서 흡입 기류의 유동 방향(D)과 마주하는 영역의 크기를 변경하여 기류량을 제어할 수 있다.However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the control unit (not shown) may control the amount of airflow by changing the size of the region facing the flow direction D of the intake airflow in the incision 213a of the flow path valve 213.
구동 모터(214)의 회전으로 유로 밸브(213)의 개방 위치(213(o))와 폐쇄 위치(213(c)) 사이의 어느 위치에 유로 밸브(213)가 배치하게 하여 유로 밸브(213)가 개방 위치(213(o))에 배치될 시 보다는 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)에 공급되는 양을 적게 변경할 수 있고 유로 밸브(213)가 폐쇄 위치(213(c))에 배치될 시 보다는 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)에 공급되는 양을 많게 변경할 수 있다.The flow path valve 213 is arranged such that the flow path valve 213 is disposed at any position between the open position 213 (o) and the closed position 213 (c) of the flow path valve 213 by rotation of the driving motor 214. Can change the amount of intake air flow to the dust collector 20 less than when it is placed in the open position 213(o) and when the flow path valve 213 is placed in the closed position 213(c) The amount of intake air flow supplied to the dust collecting container 20 can be largely changed.
즉, 유량 변화장치(210)는 유로 밸브(213)의 회전을 통해 집진통(20)에 공급되는 흡입 기류의 양을 다양하게 변경할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 집진통(20) 내부의 공기압을 다양하게 변경시킬 수 있다.That is, the flow rate change device 210 can variously change the amount of intake air supplied to the dust collector 20 through the rotation of the flow path valve 213, thereby varying the air pressure inside the dust collector 20. Can be changed.
또한 제 8실시예에 한정되지 않고 유로 밸브(213) 외 상술한 제 1실시예 내지 제 5실시예에 개시된 유로 커버(152,172,182)의 구성들로 흡입 기류량을 제어할 수 있다. 즉, 제 1실시예 내지 제 5실시예에 개시된 유량 변화장치(150,170,180)이 포집부(350)와 흡입 장치(330)에 배치되고 연결유로(212) 상에 유로 커버(152,172,182)가 배치되어 집진통(20)으로 공급되는 흡입 기류량을 변경할 수 있다.In addition, it is not limited to the eighth embodiment, and in addition to the flow path valve 213, it is possible to control the intake air flow amount with the configurations of the flow path covers 152, 172, 182 disclosed in the above-described first to fifth embodiments. That is, the flow rate changing devices 150, 170, and 180 disclosed in the first to fifth embodiments are disposed in the collecting part 350 and the suction device 330, and the flow path covers 152, 172, and 182 are disposed on the connecting flow path 212.

The shaft 226 may be disposed outside the rotating shaft of the rotating member 225. Accordingly, when the drive motor 224 is driven, the shaft 226 may revolve around the rotation axis of the drive motor 224.
유로 밸브(223)는 샤프트(226)가 삽입되는 슬릿(229)를 포함할 수 있다.The flow path valve 223 may include a slit 229 into which the shaft 226 is inserted.

유로 밸브(223)는 슬릿(229)과 연동되어 제 1방향(A)으로 병진 이동되도록 마련되고, 병진 이동을 통해 연결 유로(222)를 선택적으로 개폐하는 플레이트(228)를 포함할 수 있다.The flow path valve 223 is provided to be translated in the first direction (A) in connection with the slit 229, and may include a plate 228 that selectively opens and closes the connection flow path 222 through translation movement.
플레이트(228)는 슬릿(229)과 일체로 형성될 수 있다. 따라서 슬릿(229)이 제 1방향(A)으로 이동될 시 플레이트(228)는 슬릿(229)과 함께 제 1방향(A)으로 이동될 수 있다.The plate 228 may be integrally formed with the slit 229. Therefore, when the slit 229 is moved in the first direction (A), the plate 228 may be moved in the first direction (A) together with the slit 229.
플레이트(228)는 연결 유로(222) 상에서 왕복 이동되도록 마련될 수 있다.The plate 228 may be provided to reciprocate on the connection flow path 222.
구동 모터(224)의 회전에 의해 샤프트(226)가 일 방향으로 회전될 시, 플레이트(228)과 슬릿(229)은 샤프트(226)의 회전에 연동되어 제 1방향(A)으로 이동되었다가 제 1방향(A)의 반대 방향으로 병진 이동될 수 있다.When the shaft 226 is rotated in one direction by rotation of the drive motor 224, the plate 228 and the slit 229 are moved in the first direction (A) in conjunction with the rotation of the shaft 226 The translation may be performed in a direction opposite to the first direction A.
즉, 샤프트(226)가 1회 공전 이동될 시, 플레이트(228)는 제 1방향(A)으로 1회 왕복 이동되도록 마련될 수 있다. 샤프트(226)의 1회 공전이 종료될 시 플레이트(228)는 연결유로(222)를 1회 개방하고 1회 폐쇄할 수 있다.That is, when the shaft 226 is revolved once, the plate 228 may be provided to reciprocate once in the first direction (A). When the one revolution of the shaft 226 ends, the plate 228 may open the connecting flow path 222 once and close it once.
샤프트(226)의 공전에 있어서 샤프트(226)의 시작위치를 제 1위치(226A)이라고 하고 샤프트(226)가 공전 중 중간 위치인 반환지점을 제 2위치(226B)라고 할 때, 샤프트(226)가 제 1위치(226A)에 위치할 때 유로밸브(223)는 연결유로(222)를 개방하고, 샤프트(226)가 제 2위치(226B)에 위치할 때 유로밸브(223)는 연결유로(222)를 폐쇄할 수 있다.When the starting position of the shaft 226 in the revolution of the shaft 226 is referred to as the first position 226A, and the return point, which is the intermediate position during the revolution of the shaft 226, is referred to as the second position 226B, the shaft 226 ) Is located in the first position 226A, the flow path valve 223 opens the connecting flow path 222, and when the shaft 226 is located in the second position 226B, the flow path valve 223 is connected to the flow path. (222) can be closed.
도 35에 도시된 바와 같이 샤프트(226)가 일방향으로 공전하여 제 1위치(226A)에서 제 2위치(226B)로 이동될 시 슬릿(229)은 제 1방향(A)으로 가압되어 플레이트(228)가 연결 유로(222) 상에 배치될 수 있다. 이 때, 흡입 기류는 플레이트(228)에 의해 기류의 흐름이 제한될 수 있다. 흡입 기류는 플레이트(228)에 블록되어 흡입 장치(430)에서 포집부(450)로 유동되지 못하여 집진통(20)에 흡입기류가 공급되지 않는다.As shown in FIG. 35, when the shaft 226 rotates in one direction and moves from the first position 226A to the second position 226B, the slit 229 is pressed in the first direction (A) and the plate 228 ) May be disposed on the connection flow path 222. At this time, the flow of airflow may be limited by the plate 228. The intake airflow is blocked by the plate 228 and is not flowed from the intake device 430 to the collection part 450 so that the intake airflow is not supplied to the dust collector 20.
즉, 유로 밸브(223)가 샤프트(226)와 연동되어 제 1방향(A)으로 왕복 운동 중 연결 유로(222) 상에 플레이트(228)가 배치될 시 유로 밸브(223)의 위치를 폐쇄 위치(223A)라고 하고, 유로 밸브(223)가 왕복 이동 중에 폐쇄 위치(223A)에 배치되면 흡입 기류가 집진통(20)로 공급될 수 없다.That is, when the flow path valve 223 is interlocked with the shaft 226 and the plate 228 is disposed on the connection flow path 222 during reciprocating motion in the first direction (A), the position of the flow path valve 223 is closed. It is referred to as (223A), and when the flow path valve 223 is disposed in the closed position 223A during reciprocating movement, suction airflow cannot be supplied to the dust collector 20.
반대로 도 36에 도시된 바와 같이 샤프트(226)가 일방향으로 계속 공전하여 제 2위치(226B)에서 제 1위치(226A)로 이동될 시 슬릿(229)은 제 1방향(A)의 반대 방향으로 가압되어 플레이트(228)가 연결 유로(222) 외측에 배치될 수 있다. 이 때, 흡입 기류는 유동의 제한 없이 연결 유로(222)를 따라 유동될 수 있다. 흡입 기류는 플레이트(228)의 제한 없이 흡입 장치(430)에서 포집부(450)로 유동되고 집진통(50)에 흡입기류가 공급될 수 있다.Conversely, as shown in FIG. 36, when the shaft 226 continues to rotate in one direction and moves from the second position 226B to the first position 226A, the slit 229 is in the opposite direction to the first direction (A). The plate 228 may be pressurized to be disposed outside the connection flow path 222. At this time, the intake airflow may flow along the connection flow path 222 without restriction of flow. The intake airflow flows from the intake device 430 to the collection part 450 without limitation of the plate 228 and the intake airflow may be supplied to the dust collector 50.
즉, 유로 밸브(223)가 샤프트(226)와 연동되어 제 1방향(A)으로 왕복 운동 중 연결 유로(222) 외측에 플레이트(228)가 배치될 시 유로 밸브(223)의 위치를 개방 위치(223B)라고 하고, 유로 밸브(223)가 왕복 이동 중에 개방 위치(223B)에 배치되면 흡입 기류가 집진통(50)으로 공급될 수 있다.That is, when the flow path valve 223 is interlocked with the shaft 226 and the plate 228 is disposed outside the connection flow path 222 during reciprocating motion in the first direction A, the position of the flow path valve 223 is opened. Referred to as (223B), when the flow path valve 223 is disposed in the open position 223B during reciprocating movement, the intake airflow may be supplied to the dust collector 50.
유로 밸브(223)의 개폐에 따라 집진통(50)에 흡입기류가 공급되거나 공급이 중단될 수 있는데 이에 따라 집진통(50) 내부의 공기압이 변경될 수 있다.According to the opening and closing of the flow path valve 223, the intake air flow may be supplied to the dust collecting container 50 or the supply may be stopped, and accordingly, the air pressure inside the dust collecting container 50 may be changed.
유로 밸브(233)가 개방될 시 집진통(50)에 흡입 기류가 공급될 시 집진통(50) 내부의 공기압이 저하될 수 있으며, 유로 밸브(223)가 폐쇄될 시 집진통(20)에 흡입 기류의 공급이 중단되어 집진통(50) 내부의 공기압이 상승될 수 있다.When the inlet airflow is supplied to the dust collector 50 when the flow path valve 233 is opened, the air pressure inside the dust collector 50 may decrease, and when the flow path valve 223 is closed, Supply of the intake air stream is stopped, and the air pressure inside the dust collector 50 may increase.
이와 같이 유로 밸브(223)가 주기적으로 연결 유로(222)를 개방 폐쇄하여 집진통(50) 내부의 공기압이 상승 하강되고 이에 따라 집진통(50) 내부의 공기의 유동 방향이 다양하게 형성될 수 있다.As such, the flow path valve 223 periodically opens and closes the connection flow path 222 to increase and decrease the air pressure inside the dust collector 50, and accordingly, various flow directions of air inside the dust collector 50 may be formed. have.
집진통(50)가 안착부(442)에 안착될 시 스위치 유닛(미도시)에 의해 집진통(50)의 도킹이 감지되고 이에 따라 유량 변화장치(220)가 구동될 수 있다.When the dust collector 50 is seated on the seating portion 442, docking of the dust collector 50 is sensed by a switch unit (not shown), and the flow rate changing device 220 can be driven accordingly.
제어부(미도시)는 소정의 시간 동안 유로 밸브(223)가 개방 위치(223B)위치에 배치되도록 구동 모터(224)를 제어할 수 있다. 즉, 샤프트(226)가 회전되지 않고 제 1위치(226A)에 배치되도록 마련될 수 있다.The control unit (not shown) may control the drive motor 224 such that the flow path valve 223 is disposed in the open position 223B for a predetermined time. That is, the shaft 226 may be provided to be disposed in the first position 226A without being rotated.
소정의 시간이 지난 후 제어부(미도시)는 유로 밸브(223)가 또 다른 소정의 시간 동안 폐쇄 위치(223B)에 배치되도록 구동 모터(224)를 제어할 수 있다.After a predetermined time, the control unit (not shown) may control the drive motor 224 such that the flow path valve 223 is disposed in the closed position 223B for another predetermined time.

집진통 도어(51)는 집진통 본체(53)의 하단의 일측에 배치되는 회전축(51c)을 중심으로 회전되면서 집진통 본체(53)의 하단을 개폐시킬 수 있다.The dust collector door 51 can be opened and closed at the bottom of the dust collector body 53 while being rotated around a rotation shaft 51c disposed at one side of the bottom of the dust collector body 53.
고정부재(56)는 집진통(50)은 집진통 본체(53) 하단의 타측에 배치되고 결합돌기(51a)를 지지하여 집진통 도어(51)가 집진통 본체(53)의 하단에서 이탈되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The fixing member 56 is a dust collector 50 is disposed on the other side of the bottom of the dust collector body 53 and supports the engaging projection 51a so that the dust collector door 51 is separated from the bottom of the dust collector body 53 Can be prevented.
고정부재(56)는 결합돌기(51a)와 후크 결합되어 결합돌기(51a)가 집진통 본체(53)에서 이탈되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The fixing member 56 is hooked with the engaging projection 51a to prevent the engaging projection 51a from being separated from the dust collecting body 53.
보조 고정부재(29)는 사용자의 의도와 달리 집진통 도어(51)가 개방되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 사용자가 실수로 고정부재(56)를 가압하여 집진통 도어(51)가 개방되어 이물질이 비산되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Unlike the user's intention, the auxiliary fixing member 29 can prevent the dust collector door 51 from being opened. The user accidentally presses the fixing member 56 to prevent the dust collector door 51 from opening and scattering foreign matter.
보조 고정부재(29)는 집진통 도어(51)의 회전축(51c) 상에 배치되고 회전축(51c)을 중심으로 회전되는 집진통 도어(51)의 회전부(51f)가 회전되는 것을 제한하여 집진통 도어(51)를 집진통 본체(53)에 구속할 수 있다.The auxiliary fixing member 29 is disposed on the rotation shaft 51c of the dust collector door 51 and restricts rotation of the rotating portion 51f of the dust collector door 51 rotated around the rotation shaft 51c to limit rotation of the dust collector. The door 51 can be constrained to the dust collecting body 53.
보조 고정부재(59)는 외력에 의해 가압될 시 회동되어 회전부(51f)의 회동 제한이 해제되도록 마련되는 푸시부(59a)와 푸시부(59a)와 연동되고 회전부(51f)의 회동방향의 반대 방향으로 회전부(51f)를 가압하여 회전부(51f)의 회동을 제한하는 제한부(59b)를 포함할 수 있다.The auxiliary fixing member 59 is rotated when pressurized by an external force, interlocks with the push portion 59a and the push portion 59a provided to release the rotational restriction of the rotating portion 51f, and is opposite to the rotational direction of the rotating portion 51f It may include a limiting portion (59b) for limiting the rotation of the rotating portion (51f) by pressing the rotating portion (51f) in the direction.
푸시부(59a)는 집진통 본체(53)의 중심축의 반경 방향으로 집진통 본체(53)의 외주면 외측으로 돌출되도록 마련될 수 있다. 사용자는 집진통 본체(53)의 외주면 외측으로 돌출된 보조 고정부재(59)의 푸시부(59a)를 용이하게 가압하여 집진통(50")을 개방할 수 있다.The push portion 59a may be provided to protrude outside the outer circumferential surface of the dust collector body 53 in the radial direction of the central axis of the dust collector body 53. The user can easily press the push portion 59a of the auxiliary fixing member 59 protruding outward from the outer circumferential surface of the dust collecting container body 53 to open the dust collecting container 50".
보조 고정부재(59)는 푸시부(59a)에 의해 보조 고정부재(59)가 가압되지 않을 시 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)를 가압하여 회동부(51f)의 가압 상태가 유지되도록 마련되는 탄성부재(59c)를 포함할 수 있다.The auxiliary fixing member 59 is such that when the auxiliary fixing member 59 is not pressed by the push portion 59a, the limiting portion 59b presses the rotating portion 51f to maintain the pressing state of the rotating portion 51f. It may include a provided elastic member (59c).
탄성부재(59c)는 집진통 도어(51)가 폐쇄된 상태에서 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)의 회동 방향의 반대 방향으로 회동부(51f)를 가압하도록 바이어스될 수 있다. 이에 따라 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)의 회동을 제한하는 상태가 유지될 수 있다.The elastic member 59c may be biased so that the restricting portion 59b presses the rotating portion 51f in the opposite direction to the rotating direction of the rotating portion 51f while the dust collecting door 51 is closed. Accordingly, a state in which the limiting portion 59b limits the rotation of the rotating portion 51f can be maintained.
즉, 탄성부재(59c)는 제한부(59b)를 집진통 본체(53)의 반경 방향의 반대 방향으로 가압하여 제한부(59b)가 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)의 회동을 제한하는 위치에 배치되는 상태가 유지될 수 있다.That is, the elastic member 59c presses the limiting part 59b in the opposite direction to the radial direction of the dust collecting body 53, so that the limiting part 59b limits the rotation of the limiting part 59b by the limiting part 59b. It can be maintained in a position that is placed in the position.
푸시부(59a)와 제한부(59b)는 보조 고정부재(59)의 회전축을 중심으로 반대 방향에 배치될 수 있다. 이에 따라 푸시부(59a)가 가압되면 제한부(59b)는 푸시부(59a)의 가압 방향과 반대 방향으로 이동될 수 있다.The push portion 59a and the limiting portion 59b may be disposed in opposite directions around the rotation axis of the auxiliary fixing member 59. Accordingly, when the push portion 59a is pressed, the limiting portion 59b may be moved in a direction opposite to the pressing direction of the push portion 59a.
따라서 푸시부(59a)에 집진통 본체(53)의 반경 방향의 반대 방향으로 외력이 가압될 시 푸시부(59a)는 집진통 본체(53)의 반경 방향의 반대 방향으로 회동되고, 이에 따라 제한부(59b)는 집진통 본체(53)의 반경 방향으로 회동되어 회동부(51f)와 멀어지는 방향으로 이동될 수 있다.Therefore, when the external force is applied to the push portion 59a in the opposite direction to the radial direction of the dust collecting body 53, the push portion 59a is rotated in the opposite direction to the radial direction of the dust collecting body 53, thereby restricting it. The portion 59b is rotated in the radial direction of the dust collecting body 53 and can be moved in a direction away from the rotating portion 51f.
제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)와 멀어지는 방향으로 이동됨에 따라 제한부(59b)는 회동부(51f)의 회동 방향의 반대 방향으로 가압되는 위치에서 이탈될 수 있다.As the restricting portion 59b moves in a direction away from the rotating portion 51f, the restricting portion 59b may be released from a position pressed in the opposite direction of the rotating direction of the rotating portion 51f.
고정부재(56)가 가압되어 결합돌기(51a)와 후크부(56b)와의 후크 결합이 해제된 상태에서 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)의 회동 방향의 반대 방향으로 가압되는 위치에서 이탈될 시, 집진통 도어(51)는 중력에 의해 집진통 본체(53)에서 이탈되어 회전축(51c)을 중심으로 하측으로 회전되고 이에 따라 집진통 본체(53)의 하단이 개방될 수 있다.When the fixing member 56 is pressed and the hooking between the engaging projection 51a and the hook portion 56b is released, the limiting portion 59b is released from a position where the limiting portion 59b is pressed in the opposite direction to the rotating direction of the rotating portion 51f. When possible, the dust collector door 51 is separated from the dust collector body 53 by gravity and rotated downwardly about the rotation shaft 51c, so that the lower end of the dust collector body 53 can be opened.
이에 따라 도 42에 도시된 바와 같이 사용자가 보조 고정부재(29)를 가압하지 않고 고정부재(26)만 가압할 시 집진통 도어(51)는 제한부(59b)가 회동부(51f)의 회동을 제한하여 집진통 도어(51)는 회전되어 하측으로 이동되지 않고 집진통 본체(53)에 구속될 수 있다.Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 42, when the user presses only the fixing member 26 without pressing the auxiliary fixing member 29, the dust collecting door 51 has a limiting part 59b that rotates the rotating part 51f. To limit the dust collector door 51 is rotated can be constrained to the dust collector body 53 without being moved downward.
사용자가 집진통 도어(51)를 개방하기 위해서는 고정부재(56)와 보조 고정부재(59)를 모두 가압해줘야 한다. 즉, 고정부재(56)와 보조 고정부재(59)가 동시에 가압되고 있을 시에만 결합돌기(51a)에 대한 구속이 해제되면서 회동부(51f)의 회동 제한이 해제되어 집진통 도어(51)가 개방될 수 있다.In order for the user to open the dust collector door 51, both the fixing member 56 and the auxiliary fixing member 59 must be pressed. That is, when the fixing member 56 and the auxiliary fixing member 59 are pressed at the same time, the restriction on the engaging projection 51a is released, and the rotation limit of the rotating part 51f is released, so that the dust collecting door 51 is opened. Can be opened.
고정부재(56)와 보조 고정부재(59)는 각각 이격 배치될 수 있다. 고정부재(56)와 보조 고정부재(59)의 이격거리는 다양하게 형성될 수 있다. 다만, 보조 고정부재(59)는 회동부(51f)가 배치되는 집진통 도어(51)의 회전축(51c)과 상하 방향으로 대략 대응되게 배치될 수 있다.The fixing member 56 and the auxiliary fixing member 59 may be respectively spaced apart. The separation distance between the fixing member 56 and the auxiliary fixing member 59 may be variously formed. However, the auxiliary fixing member 59 may be disposed to substantially correspond to the rotating shaft 51c of the dust collector door 51 in which the rotation part 51f is disposed in the vertical direction.

바이패스관(243)을 중공을 가지는 형상으로 마련되고 바이패스관(243)의 내부에는 바이패스 유로(241)가 형성될 수 있다.The bypass pipe 243 may be provided in a shape having a hollow shape, and a bypass flow path 241 may be formed inside the bypass pipe 243.
바이패스관(243)은 유로 하우징(231)의 일측에서 유로 하우징(231)의 외측으로 연장되도록 마련될 수 있다.The bypass pipe 243 may be provided to extend from one side of the flow path housing 231 to the outside of the flow path housing 231.
댐퍼(242)는 바이패스관(243) 내부에 배치되고 바이패스관(243) 내부에서 이동 가능하게 마련되는 질량체(242a)와 질량체(242a)에 탄성력을 전달하는 탄성부재(242b)를 포함할 수 있다.The damper 242 includes a mass body 242a disposed inside the bypass pipe 243 and movably provided inside the bypass pipe 243 and an elastic member 242b for transmitting elastic force to the mass body 242a. Can be.
댐퍼(242)는 연통홀(244)을 개폐하면서 연결유로(242) 내부의 진공압이 안정적으로 유지되도록 마련될 수 있다. 댐퍼(242)는 연결유로(242)가 폐쇄되어 연결유로(242) 및 이와 연결되는 흡입 장치(430) 내의 진공압이 상승될 시 연통홀(244)을 개방하여 진공압을 낮추도록 마련될 수 있다.The damper 242 may be provided to open and close the communication hole 244 so that the vacuum pressure inside the connection passage 242 is stably maintained. The damper 242 may be provided to lower the vacuum pressure by opening the communication hole 244 when the connection passage 242 is closed and the vacuum pressure in the connection passage 242 and the suction device 430 connected thereto is increased. have.
즉, 연결 유로(242)가 개방된 상태에서는 댐퍼(242)는 연통홀(244)을 폐쇄하도록 마련되고 연결 유로(242)가 폐쇄된 상태에서 연결유로(242) 및 흡입 장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 상승할 시에만 댐퍼(242)는 연통홀(244)을 개방하도록 마련될 수 있다.That is, when the connection flow path 242 is opened, the damper 242 is provided to close the communication hole 244 and the connection flow path 242 and the suction device 430 are installed in a state where the connection flow path 242 is closed. The damper 242 may be provided to open the communication hole 244 only when the vacuum pressure rises.
자세하게는 댐퍼(242)의 질량체(242a)는 바이패스관(243) 내부에 배치되고 질량체(242a)를 가압하는 탄성부재(242b)는 질량체(242a)가 연통홀(244) 방향으로 바이어스되도록 질량체(242a)에 탄성력을 전달할 수 있다.In detail, the mass body 242a of the damper 242 is disposed inside the bypass pipe 243, and the elastic member 242b that presses the mass body 242a has a mass body such that the mass body 242a is biased in the direction of the communication hole 244. Elastic force can be transmitted to 242a.
질량체(242a)의 직경은 연통홀(244)의 직경보다 더 크게 마련되어 질량체(242a)가 연통홀(244) 방향으로 바이어스되어도 연통홀(244)을 통해 유량 변화장치(230) 외부로 이탈되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The diameter of the mass body 242a is larger than the diameter of the communication hole 244, so that even if the mass body 242a is biased in the direction of the communication hole 244, it deviates from the flow rate changing device 230 through the communication hole 244. Can be prevented.
질량체(242a)가 연통홀(244) 방향으로 바이어스되어 연통홀(244)은 폐쇄된 상태가 유지될 수 있다. 즉, 외력이 질량체(242a)에 전달되지 않을 시 또는 탄성부재(242b)에 의해 전달되는 탄성력보다 작은 외력이 질량체(242a)에 전달될 시 댐퍼(242)는 연통홀(244)을 폐쇄하는 상태를 유지할 수 있다.The mass body 242a is biased in the direction of the communication hole 244 so that the communication hole 244 can be kept closed. That is, when an external force is not transmitted to the mass body 242a or when an external force smaller than the elastic force transmitted by the elastic member 242b is transmitted to the mass body 242a, the damper 242 closes the communication hole 244 Can keep.
연결유로(232)가 플레이트(238)에 의해 폐쇄될 시 포집부(450)를 향해 형성되는 흡입기류가 차단되고 이에 따라 연결유로(232)와 흡입장치(430) 내부에서 흡입기류가 유동되면서 연결유로(232)와 흡입장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 상승될 수 있다.When the connection flow path 232 is closed by the plate 238, the suction flow formed toward the collection part 450 is blocked, and accordingly, the connection flow path 232 and the suction device 430 flow inside the suction flow. The vacuum pressure inside the flow path 232 and the suction device 430 may be increased.
이 때 흡입기류가 바이패스 유로(341)를 통해 댐퍼(242)에 전달될 수 있다. 흡입기류는 질량체(242a)에 흡입력을 전달하고, 흡입기류의 흡입력이 탄성부재(242b)의 탄성력보다 더 큰 힘으로 형성될 시 질량체(242a)는 흡입기류에 의해 바이어스되는 방향의 반대방향으로 이동될 수 있다.At this time, the inhaler flow may be transmitted to the damper 242 through the bypass flow path 341. The inhalation stream transmits the suction force to the mass body 242a, and when the suction force of the suction stream is formed with a force greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 242b, the mass body 242a moves in the opposite direction to the direction biased by the suction stream Can be.
질량체(242a)가 흡입 기류에 의해 이동됨에 따라 연통홀(244)이 개방되고, 연통홀(244)을 통해 흡입기류가 유량 변화장치(230)의 외부에서부터 유동되도록 마련되어 연결 유로(232) 및 흡입장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 일정수준으로 유지될 수 있다.As the mass body 242a is moved by the suction airflow, the communication hole 244 is opened, and the suction flow through the communication hole 244 is provided to flow from the outside of the flow rate change device 230, and the connection flow path 232 and suction The vacuum pressure inside the device 430 may be maintained at a constant level.
즉, 연결유로(232) 및 흡입장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 상승될 시 질량체(242a)가 내부의 진공압에 의해 유동되고 이에 따라 질량체(242a)에 의해 폐쇄되었던 연통홀(244)이 개방될 수 있다.That is, when the vacuum pressure inside the connection flow path 232 and the suction device 430 is raised, the mass 242a flows by the vacuum pressure therein, and accordingly, the communication hole 244 closed by the mass 242a Can be opened.
연결유로(242)가 바이패스유로(241)를 통해 외부와 연통되고, 연결유로(242) 및 연결유로(242)와 연결되는 흡입 장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 저하되어 소음이 감소하고 흡입팬(341)의 과부하가 해소될 수 있다.The connecting passage 242 communicates with the outside through the bypass passage 241, and the vacuum pressure inside the suction passage 430 connected to the connecting passage 242 and the connecting passage 242 decreases to reduce noise and suction The overload of the fan 341 can be eliminated.
따라서 유량 변화장치(230)에 의해 연결 유로(232)가 폐쇄된 상태에서도 흡입장치(430)는 동일하게 구동되는데, 연결 유로(232)의 폐쇄 유무와 관계없이 바이패스부(240)에 의해 연결 유로(232) 및 흡입 장치(430) 내부의 진공압이 일정 값 이상으로 올라가는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Therefore, even when the connection flow path 232 is closed by the flow rate changing device 230, the suction device 430 is driven in the same way, regardless of whether the connection flow path 232 is closed or not, connected by the bypass unit 240. It is possible to prevent the vacuum pressure inside the flow path 232 and the suction device 430 from rising above a certain value.
