It is sucked in the tangential direction of the case main body 61 and causes a turning motion in the case main body 61 as indicated by an arrow in FIGS. Since the centrifugal force of air, which is relatively insensitive to gravity, is small, the case body 6
Dust that swirls in 1 and is easily affected by gravity flows along the inner wall surface of the case body 61 due to the large centrifugal force, and clean air is discharged through the air discharge port 64 while air and dust are separated. The dust 66 is discharged from the duct 65 into the air passage 59, and the dust 66 falls due to gravity and accumulates in the case body 61.

くなるという問題があった。In the conventional vacuum cleaner as described above, when relatively light dust such as hair is collected, the suction port 62 of the cyclone dust collector 60 is used.
There is a case where centrifugal force does not act upon being sucked into the case body 61 from the inside of the case body 61, and the centrifugal force may be pulled directly toward the air discharge port 64 without flowing along the inner wall surface of the case body 61 and stick to the filter. However, there is a problem that when such relatively light dust is accumulated, the filter is clogged and the original performance cannot be exhibited.

If it is adhered to the inner wall of the container with an adhesive, it will not be damaged even if a hard object such as a small stone is sucked and collides. Further, even when the case main body 2 is washed with water, it is possible to prevent the wind direction plate 15 from being touched. In addition,
It is desirable to provide a large radius R on the upstream end surface of the wind direction plate 15 in order to prevent dust and the like from being caught. Further, it is desirable to provide a slight gap g between the upper end portion on the upstream side of the wind direction plate 15 and the lower surface of the lid body 5.
As a result, it is possible to prevent dust from being accumulated on this portion, and also to prevent air from staying on the downstream side.
