The operation portion 73 includes a cylindrical knob portion 74 and a flange 75 formed at the proximal end portion of the knob portion 74.

  The contact plate 76 has a disk shape fixed to the tip of the vibration applying member 71, and strikes the bottom surface of the bag-shaped filter 34 a by the movement of the vibration applying member 71.

  The coil spring 70 is interposed between the truncated cone-shaped base 34b formed from the front end portion of the exhaust tube 34 toward the rear surface side and the back surface of the contact plate 76, and moves the vibration applying member 71 toward the filter 34a (vacuum cleaner). The main body 10 is biased forward. A hole is formed in the base 34b, and the shaft portion of the vibration applying member 71 passes through the hole.

  A clamp housing part 39 is formed on the upper surface side of the lid 33c in the front-rear direction (front-rear direction of the cleaner body 10). The clamp housing part 39 is detachably engaged with the housing housing recess 15 of the cleaner body. The mating clamp 36 is housed so as to be retractable from the rear surface of the lid 33c. An operation lever 37 that can be operated from the upper surface of the lid 33 c is integrally formed on the clamp 36, and a spring 38 is interposed between the operation lever 37 and the front portion of the clamp housing portion 39.

  In the above configuration, the dust collector 30a itself can be removed from the cleaner body by operating the operation lever 37 of the dust collector 30a to retract the clamp 36 from the engagement hole 16 of the cleaner body 10.

  After removing the dust collector 30a from the vacuum cleaner body 10, the knob 74 of the operation unit 73 is pinched and lifted, and when the knob 74 is released, the urging force of the spring 70 causes the vibration applying member 71 to move to the dust collecting container. The filter 34a vibrates when it moves along the axial direction and the contact plate 76 contacts the filter 34a.

  That is, the contact plate 76 is separated from the filter 34a when the knob portion 74 is pulled up, and contacts the surface of the filter 34a when the knob portion 74 is released. When the contact plate 76 comes into contact with the filter 34a, the filter 34a vibrates due to the impact, and dust or dust attached to the filter 34a can be shaken off. The dust, dust, etc. shaken off are received and accumulated in the case 33d. By repeating the axial movement of the vibration applying member 71, the dust attached to the filter 34a can be completely removed, and the dust removing ability of the filter can be enhanced.

  Further, since the vibration applying member 71 is located inside the filter 34 a, dust or dust sucked into the dust collecting container is filtered by the filter 34 a and does not directly adhere to the vibration applying member 71. Furthermore, since the vibration imparting member 71 is not exposed, there is no possibility that the user touches it by mistake.

  Further, during the cleaning operation and the normal dust collection operation, the spring 70 that biases the contact plate 76 is housed in the pedestal 34b and is not exposed to the outside. There is no danger of touching the preparations and it is safe.

  Further, the filter 34a can be cleaned as the lid 33c is opened and closed. When discarding dust, dust, or the like accumulated in the case 33d, that is, when the exhaust tube 34 is extracted from the case 33d, the tip of the brush 92 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the filter 34a, and the outer peripheral surface is cleaned by the extraction operation. . Further, when the lid 33c is closed, that is, when the exhaust tube 34 is inserted into the case 33d, the tip of the brush 92 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the filter 34a, and the outer peripheral surface is cleaned. The dust, dust, etc. removed by the brush 92 are received by the case 33d and accumulated. Furthermore, by repeatedly reciprocating the exhaust pipe 34 in the axial direction, dust adhering to the filter 34a can be completely removed, and the dust removal capability of the filter can be enhanced.
