- The above and other objects, features, and advantages of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view exemplifying a conventional vacuum cleaner in a state in which a dust bin is separated from a main body;
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views exemplifying a dust bin and a main body of a vacuum cleaner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which are separated from each other, respectively;
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view exemplifying the vacuum cleaner according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention in which the dust bin and the main body are combined with each other.
- Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals will be understood to refer to the same elements, features, and structures.
- Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views exemplifying a
dust bin 20 and amain body 30 of a vacuum cleaner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which are separated from each other, respectively, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view exemplifying the vacuum cleaner according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention in which thedust bin 20 and themain body 30 are combined with each other. - Referring to the drawings, the vacuum cleaner according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a
dust bin 20 having ahandle 26 attached thereto, and amain body 30 having a mounting chamber in which thedust bin 20 is mounted. Thedust bin 20 is slid into and mounted in themain body 30. For this, asliding part 21 is formed on an upper part of thedust bin 20, and aguide part 31 is formed inside an upper part of themain body 30 to guide thesliding part 21 of thedust bin 20 when thedust bin 20 is slid and inserted into themain body 30. Thesliding part 21 is formed of a bar-shaped elongated member extended in an inserting direction thereof, and theguide part 31 is formed of a groove corresponding to the bar-shaped elongated member. - The
dust bin 20 and themain body 30 are provided with a locking unit. The locking unit has aswing member 23, aspring 25, and apressing member 22. Theswing member 23 is configured, so that theconvex part 23a is formed on one end thereof and ahinge axis 24 is formed on the middle thereof. Thespring 25 as an elastic member is located on one end of theswing member 23. The pressingmember 22 is disposed on the other end of theswing member 23 so as to be pressed by a user. Aconcave part 32 is formed at a position corresponding to theconvex part 23a of thedust bin 20 in themain body 30. - In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
pressing member 22 is located in a vertical part of thehandle 26. A releasingbutton 22a is projected outside thehandle 26 from a top of thepressing member 22, so that it can be pressed by the user. Theswing member 23 is horizontally disposed in a lower part of thehandle 26, and has ahinge axis 24 at the middle thereof, so that it can swing. Theconvex part 23 a formed on the one end of theswing member 23 is formed in a shape inclined in sympathy with a main body (30) direction, and has a sill raised against an opposite direction to the main body (30) direction. Thespring 25 is mounted on an opposite side to a side of the one end of theswing member 23 on which theconvex part 23a is formed, so that it pushes down theswing member 23. According to this, theconvex part 23a is locked in theconcave part 32 of themain body 30. - A
reference numeral 35 represents a passage to draw in air laden with contaminant, such as dust or dirt, areference numeral 36 represents a motor and blade part to produce a suction force, and areference numeral 37 represents a filter and discharge part to remove the contaminant from the air and discharge it. - A method of mounting the
dust bin 20 in the vacuum cleaner constructed as described above is as follows. First, a user grips thehandle 26 and then aligns thesliding part 21 of thedust bin 20 with theguide part 31 of themain body 30. And then, thedust bin 20 is pushed in a main body (20) direction. As a result, thesliding part 21 of thedust bin 20 is guided by theguide part 31 and thus thedust bin 20 is mounted into themain body 30 without seceding from the inside of themain body 30. At this time, since the convexpart 23a is inclined in an inserting direction thereof, it does not disturb the sliding motion of thedust bin 20. - After that, when the
dust bin 20 is continuously pushed and thus completely inserted into themain body 30, theconvex part 23a is locked in theconcave part 32. At this time, theswing member 23 clicks while impacting themain body 30. As a result, thedust bin 20 is mounted in and fixed to themain body 30. - In a condition as described above, the
dust bin 20 is maintained in a stably mounted state because a rocking thereof from side to side is prevented by thesliding part 21 and theguide part 31 and a shaking thereof in front and in the rear is prevented by theconcave part 32 and theconvex part 23a. - Next, a method of dismounting the
dust bin 20 will be explained as follows. When the user pushes the releasingbutton 22a formed on thehandle 26 of thedust bin 20 with her or his thumb, the pressingmember 22 moves downward and presses theswing member 23. The pressedswing member 22 is swung about thehinge axis 24. According to this, theconvex part 23a of theswing member 23 is moved upward and left from theconcave part 32 to release a locking state to thedust bin 20. - When the locking state of the
dust bin 20 is released, thedust bin 20 can be easily dismounted from themain body 30 by pulling thedust bin 20 in an opposite direction to the main body (30) direction. Preferably, but not necessarily, thedust bin 20 as described above is configured to include a cyclone dust-separating apparatus, which separates dust or dirt from air by a centrifugal force. - As apparent from the foregoing description, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the vacuum cleaner is capable of easily mounting the dust bin in the main body, and maintaining the dust bin in the stable state even though it is rocked from side to side and shaken in front and in the rear.
- Although a representative embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described in order to exemplify the principle of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment. It will be understood that various modifications and changes can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Therefore, it shall be considered that such modifications, changes and equivalents thereof are all included within the scope of the present invention.
