A filter 20 installed between the main body 10 and the seating portion 12 to be detachably installed, the case 20 having the suction port 22 and the discharge port 24 formed therebetween, and the suction port 22 and the discharge port 24 ( 30), the compression panel 70 is installed to be movable in the case 20 to press the foreign matter accumulated in the case 20 in one direction, and is installed between the seating portion 12 and the case 20 and compressed It comprises a drive means 80 for causing the panel 70 to flow.

As a result, the air and the foreign substances introduced along the extension pipe (not shown) are introduced into the case 20 forming the dust container through the inlet 22 through the through-hole part 14, and flow in a tornado shape inside the case 20. While the foreign matter is collected in the case 20 by the filter 30, the filtered air is discharged to the outside of the main body 10 through the discharge port 24 and the discharge hole (16).

Here, the case 20 is formed in a circular column shape, the partition panel 40 for partitioning the separation chamber 26 and the dust collecting chamber 28 in the center is formed, the separation chamber disposed on the case 20 ( The suction port 22 is formed at one side of the circumferential surface 26, and the discharge port 24 is formed at the other side of the circumferential surface of the separation chamber 26 to correspond to the through hole part 14 and the discharge hole part 16, respectively.

In addition, a circulation pipe is installed at the center of the partition panel 40 to allow the air introduced into the dust collecting chamber 28 to flow into the separation chamber 26.

As a result, the air introduced into the case 20 through the suction port 22 flows in a tornado shape inside the case 20 by the structure of the suction port 22 which is formed to be eccentrically in the separation chamber 26. The foreign matter collides with the inner wall of the separation chamber 26 by the centrifugal force and falls to the upper surface of the partition panel 40. The air flows upward through the filter 30 installed in the center of the separation chamber 26, and the discharge hole 16 Through the body 10 is discharged to the outside.

Here, the partition panel 40 is formed in a screw shape so that foreign matter accumulated in the bottom surface of the separation chamber 26 falls into the dust collecting chamber 28 while flowing in a tornado shape, so that the separating chamber 26 and the dust collecting chamber 28 are formed. The hole part 42 which makes it communicate is formed.

In addition, the circulation pipe 50 penetrates the center of the partition panel 40 from the separation chamber 26 and is installed on the bottom surface of the dust collecting chamber 28, and the inlet 52 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the dust collecting chamber 28. ) Is formed, a discharge port 54 is formed on the circumferential surface disposed in the separation chamber 26, and a closing panel 56 extending from one end of the inlet 52 to the inner wall of the dust collecting chamber 28 is formed. do.

As a result, foreign matters falling on the upper surface of the partition panel 40 are rotated by the air flowing in a tornado shape in the separation chamber 26 and fall into the dust collecting chamber 28 through the hole 42 along the inclined surface of the partition panel.

In this way, the foreign matter dropped into the dust collecting chamber 28 accumulates on the bottom surface, and the foreign matter flows to the finishing panel 56 by the rotational force of the air introduced into the dust collecting chamber 28 at the same time, up to the finishing panel 56. Flowed foreign matter accumulates in the dust collecting chamber 28, but air is raised back to the separation chamber 26 through the inlet 52 and the discharge port 54 is discharged to the outside of the case 20 through the discharge port 24.

In addition, the filter 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape is installed in the center of the separation chamber 26, the first filter 32 to pass through the air discharged through the discharge port 24, and the agent installed in the inlet 52 Two filters 34.

In addition, the compression panel 70 is formed in a ring shape and extends upward along the circulation tube 50 from the central portion 72 and the central portion 72 rotatably inserted into the circumferential surface of the circulation tube 50, and the plane thereof.

Thus, when the cleaning operation is performed in a state in which the compression panel 70 is installed in the circulation pipe 50, foreign substances and air flow along the inclined surface of the partition panel 40 and enter the dust collecting chamber 28 through the hole 42. Then, foreign matter that is continuously rotated by the rotational force of the air hits the finishing panel 56, the accumulation is made while the flow is stopped.

At this time, the removal unit 74 of the compression panel 70 is disposed to be spaced apart from the inlet port 52 of the circulation pipe 50, the air impinged on the closing panel 56 is the outlet 54 along the inlet port 52 It is raised back to the separation chamber 26 through.

When the cleaning operation is repeated and foreign matter accumulated on the inlet port 52 interferes with the flow of air, the compression panel 70 is rotated by the user's manipulation to recognize the removal and the removal unit 74 is the outer wall of the inlet port 52. Sliding along, the foreign matter accumulated in the inlet port 52 is shaken off by the brush (78a) installed in the receiving portion (78).

The foreign matter thus dropped into the dust collecting chamber 28 impinges on the finishing panel 56 by the rotating air, and the air impinging on the finishing panel 56 is separated again along the inlet 52 through the second filter 34. After being raised to the chamber 28, it is discharged to the outside of the main body 10 through the discharge hole 24 and the discharge hole 16 through the first filter 32.

When this cleaning operation is repeated several times, foreign matter accumulates on the inlet port 52 side, which hinders the flow of air, and the suction force of the vacuum cleaner is reduced.

Recognizing this, when the user presses the operation unit 88, the motor 82 is driven by a signal transmitted from the control unit 89, so that the foreign matter accumulated on the inlet 52 side while the pressing panel 70 is rotated, the closing panel ( 56) to the side.

At this time, since the brush 78a installed in the housing 78 slides along the circumferential surface of the second filter 34, foreign matter accumulated in the second filter 34 is shaken off.

The foreign matter collected in the dust collecting chamber 28 by this operation is compressed in close contact with the finish panel 56, so that the air flow is not disturbed, so that the suction force of the vacuum cleaner does not decrease until the dust container is cleaned.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible to those skilled in the art. Will understand.

In addition, the vacuum cleaner has been described as an example, but this is merely exemplary, and the dust container of the present invention may be used in a product other than the dust container used in the vacuum cleaner.
