5 is a cross-sectional perspective view of some configurations of the cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention in a state before the vacuum cleaner is docked to the docking station, and FIG. 6 is a vacuum cleaner in the cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 7 is a cross-sectional perspective view of some configurations in a state in which a cleaner is docked in a docking station, and FIG. 7 is a part of a cleaning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention when a suction device is driven in a state in which the vacuum cleaner is docked in the docking station. It is a cross-sectional perspective view of the configuration.

As described above, the dust collector 20 may be docked to the docking station 100 such that the extension shaft Y faces the second direction B. Accordingly, the dust collector 20 may be docked to the docking station 100 such that the extension shaft Y is disposed in a direction horizontal to the first direction A, which is the direction of gravity.

When the extension shaft (Y) of the dust collector 20 is disposed in a direction corresponding to the direction of gravity, the dust collector opening 23 is disposed to be open downward, and the dust collector door 21 closes the dust collector 20. Can be placed at the bottom. At this time, when the fixing member 25 is pressed, the dust collector door 21 is separated from the body 22 by gravity and rotates in the direction of gravity around the rotating shaft 21c, and accordingly, the dust collector opening 23 opens. can be opened

However, when the extension direction of the extension axis Y of the dust collector 20 is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the direction of gravity, as in one embodiment of the present invention, the dust collector door 21 does not support the dust collector 21 even when the fixing member 25 is pressed. When an additional external force is not generated, a state in which the dust collection container opening 23 is closed may be maintained.

In particular, as described above, the rotation shaft 21c of the dust collection box door 21 is disposed in the opposite direction to the direction in which the extension tube 17 is disposed around the extension axis Y of the dust collection container 20, so that the cleaner 10 ) is docked to the docking station 100, the rotating shaft 21c is disposed on top of the dust collector 20 in the first direction A, so that the dust collector door 21 is not affected by gravity even when it is openable. and can remain closed.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since the dust collection box 20 is docked to the docking station 100 such that the extension axis Y of the dust collection box 20 faces the second direction B, the dust collection box ( 20), even when the fixing member 25 is pressed inside the docking part 140 in a docked state, the dust collection container door 21 may remain closed.
