Description

Cleaner {Cleaner}

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner.

A vacuum cleaner is a device that performs cleaning by sucking or wiping dust or foreign matter in an area to be cleaned.

Such a vacuum cleaner may be divided into a manual cleaner in which the user directly moves the cleaner to perform cleaning, and an automatic cleaner in which the user performs cleaning while driving by themselves.

In addition, the manual cleaner may be classified into a canister-type cleaner, an upright-type cleaner, a handy-type cleaner, a stick-type cleaner, and the like, depending on the shape of the cleaner.

A handheld cleaner is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0106917 (published on September 29, 2011), which is a prior document. The handheld cleaner comprises a centrifugal separator having one or more cyclones, the centrifugal separator comprising a first cyclone having a dust collector having a wall, and a base for closing the dust collector.

The base is held in a closed position by a fixing member, and the fixing member is operated by an actuator to open the dust collector without separating the dust collector from the cleaner.

A cover having a plurality of through holes is positioned within the dust collector. And, the second cyclone is located on the upper side of the cover. Air primarily separated from dust in the first cyclone flows to the second cyclone after passing through the plurality of through holes.

Therefore, in the process of air passing through the plurality of through-holes, foreign substances are caught in the plurality of through-holes or block the plurality of through-holes, and thus, it is necessary to clean the plurality of through-holes.

However, even if the dust collector is opened and the dust collector can be emptied, the cover is located in the dust collector, and the space between the cover and the dust collector is narrow, so it is difficult to clean the plurality of through holes of the cover.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaner in which a dust container is separated from a main body to facilitate cleaning of a filter member.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaner capable of opening a dust bin or separating the dust bin from a main body using one manipulation unit.

Accordingly, a state in which the engaging portions 833 and 834 of the movable member 830 are caught by the engaging rib 129 is maintained.

Meanwhile, when the user removes the force for manipulating the manipulation rib 812 , the manipulation unit 80 rises by the elastic force of the first elastic member 860 . At this time, the manipulation unit 80 stops at a neutral position where the elastic forces of the respective elastic members 860 and 861 are balanced.

9 and 10 are cross-sectional views illustrating a state in which the operation unit is moved in the second direction to separate the dust bin, and FIG. 11 is a view illustrating a state in which the dust bin is separated from the main body.

1 to 6 and 9 to 11 , the manipulation rib 812 of the manipulation unit 80 passing through the slot 330 of the handle unit 3 is lifted in the second direction, for example, upward. When raised, the manipulation unit 80 may move upward.

When the manipulation unit 80 moves upward, the first elastic member 860 is stretched, and the second elastic member 861 is contracted.

And, when the manipulation unit 80 moves upward, the second contact unit 814 lifts the contact body 832 from the lower side of the contact body 832 of the movable member 830 .

Then, the movable member 830 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing about the shaft 835, so that the locking parts 833 and 834 are spaced apart from the locking ribs 129 to separate the locking parts 833, 834) and the engaging rib 129 may be released.

In this state, the user rotates the dust container 120 clockwise in the drawing so that the dust container 120 moves away from the handle part 3 while pulling the dust container 120 downward.

Then, the cover engaging protrusion 102 of the first body 10 is pulled out from the protrusion receiving portion 708 of the cover member 70, and the engaging rib 144 is pulled out from the rib receiving portion 101, The dust container 120 may be separated from the main body 2 .

At this time, the first body 10 is separated from the main body 2 in a state in which the suction part 5 is connected to the first body 10 and the dust container cover 16 closes the dust container 120 . can be

When the dust container 120 is separated from the main body 2 , the filter member 140 surrounding the second cyclone part 130 may be exposed to the outside, so that a user can easily remove the filter member 140 . can be cleaned

According to the proposed invention, there are advantages in that the user's convenience is improved and the structure is simplified so that the dust container can be opened and closed and the dust container separated using a single operation unit.
