Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner capable of separating a dust bin and a main body from each other.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view exemplifying a conventional vacuum cleaner in a state in which a dust bin 2 is separated from a main body 3.
  • the vacuum cleaner includes a dust bin 2 to separate contaminant, such as dust or dirt, from drawn-in air and to store it therein, and a main body 3 having a driving motor (not illustrated) mounted therein to produce a suction force.
  • the dust bin 2 and the main body 3 are provided with two passages connected to each other, one of which is an air inflow passage 5 to draw in air laden with contaminant and the other of which is an air outflow passage 6 to discharge contaminant-removed air.
  • the drawn-in air first purified by the dust bin is discharged outside the main body 3 via a filter (not illustrated) for removing fine dust by the suction force of the driving motor.
  • the conventional vacuum cleaner includes a transverse member 4.
  • the transverse member 4 is disposed in a radial direction on an upper part of the dust bin 2 and has a convex part 4a formed on a top thereof and a button 4b formed at one end thereof.
  • a concave part 8 is formed corresponding to the convex part 4a of the dust bin 2 in the main body 3.
  • An aspect of the present invention is to address at least the above problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner capable of easily mounting a dust bin in a main body.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner capable of maintaining a dust bin in a stable state when it is mounted in a main body.
  • a vacuum cleaner including a dust bin having a sliding part, a main body having a guide part in which the sliding part of the dust bin is inserted, and a locking unit having a convex part and a concave part formed to be locked to each other when the sliding part is completely inserted into the guide part.
  • the sliding part may be formed on an upper part of the dust bin, and the guide part may be formed corresponding to the sliding part in an upper part of the main body.
  • the sliding part is a member extended in an inserting direction thereof, and the guide part is a groove formed corresponding to the sliding part.
  • the convex part is projected by an elastic member, and is retreated by a pressing of a user.
  • the convex part may be formed on the dust bin, and the concave part may be formed on the main body.
  • the convex part is inclined in sympathy with a sliding direction thereof, and has a sill raised against an opposite direction to the sliding direction thereof.
  • the convex part may be formed on a lower part of the dust bin, and the concave part may be formed corresponding to the convex part on the main body.
  • the locking unit may further include a swing member configured, so that the convex part is formed on one side thereof and a hinge axis is formed on the middle thereof.
  • the locking unit may further include a pressing member formed on the other side of the swing member so as to be pressed by a user.
  • a releasing button is formed on a top of the pressing member so as to be pressed by the user.
  • the releasing button may be formed on an upper part of a handle.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views exemplifying a dust bin 20 and a main 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 the dust bin 20 and the main body 30 are combined with each other.
  • the vacuum cleaner includes a dust bin 20 having a handle 26 attached thereto, and a main body 30 having a mounting chamber in which the dust bin 20 is mounted.
  • the dust bin 20 is slid into and mounted in the main body 30.
  • a sliding part 21 is formed on an upper part of the dust bin 20, and a guide part 31 is formed inside an upper part of the main body 30 to guide the sliding part 21 of the dust bin 20 when the dust bin 20 is slid and inserted into the main body 30.
  • the sliding part 21 is formed of a bar-shaped elongated member extended in an inserting direction thereof, and the guide part 31 is formed of a groove corresponding to the bar-shaped elongated member.
  • the dust bin 20 and the main body 30 are provided with a locking unit.
  • the locking unit has a swing member 23, a spring 25, and a pressing member 22.
  • the swing member 23 is configured, so that the convex part 23a is formed on one end thereof and a hinge axis 24 is formed on the middle thereof.
  • the spring 25 as an elastic member is located on one end of the swing member 23.
  • the pressing member 22 is disposed on the other end of the swing member 23 so as to be pressed by a user.
  • a concave part 32 is formed at a position corresponding to the convex part 23a of the dust bin 20 in the main body 30.
  • the pressing member 22 is located in a vertical part of the handle 26.
  • a releasing button 22a is projected outside the handle 26 from a top of the pressing member 22, so that it can be pressed by the user.
  • the swing member 23 is horizontally disposed in a lower part of the handle 26, and has a hinge axis 24 at the middle thereof, so that it can swing.
  • the convex part 23 a formed on the one end of the swing 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.
  • the spring 25 is mounted on an opposite side to a side of the one end of the swing member 23 on which the convex part 23a is formed, so that it pushes down the swing member 23. According to this, the convex part 23a is locked in the concave part 32 of the main body 30.
  • a reference numeral 35 represents a passage to draw in air laden with contaminant, such as dust or dirt
  • a reference numeral 36 represents a motor and blade part to produce a suction force
  • a reference 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 the handle 26 and then aligns the sliding part 21 of the dust bin 20 with the guide part 31 of the main body 30. And then, the dust bin 20 is pushed in a main body (20) direction. As a result, the sliding part 21 of the dust bin 20 is guided by the guide part 31 and thus the dust bin 20 is mounted into the main body 30 without seceding from the inside of the main body 30. At this time, since the convex part 23a is inclined in an inserting direction thereof, it does not disturb the sliding motion of the dust bin 20.
  • the dust bin 20 is maintained in a stably mounted state because a rocking thereof from side to side is prevented by the sliding part 21 and the guide part 31 and a shaking thereof in front and in the rear is prevented by the concave part 32 and the convex part 23a.
  • the dust bin 20 can be easily dismounted from the main body 30 by pulling the dust bin 20 in an opposite direction to the main body (30) direction.
  • the dust 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.
  • 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.
