  • Vacuum cleaners are among the most widely used home electronic appliances. Vacuum cleaners draw in air and dust from a surface being cleaned, using a suction force generated by a vacuum source.
  • a canister vacuum cleaner includes a main body, a suction port assembly, and a connecting part.
  • the main body includes a suction force generating unit and a dust separating unit to separate dust from air and collect the separated dust.
  • the suction force generating unit includes an impeller which is generally rotatably installed, and a suction motor to rotate the impeller.
  • the suction port assembly moves along an object being cleaned, drawing in dust and air through a suction port.
  • the connecting part connects the suction port assembly with the main body, and includes a handgrip, an extension pipe to connect the suction port assembly and the handgrip, and a flexible hose to connect the handgrip and the main body.
  • the canister type vacuum cleaner includes a power line which is exposed to outside to supply power to the suction force generating unit.
  • a plug formed on one end of the power line is inserted in a socket formed in walls of a room to supply power to the suction force generating unit.

  • the suction force generating unit When the suction force generating unit is arranged at a rear side of the cleaner like in the stick type vacuum cleaner, the suction force generating unit consumes a relatively large amount of power, causing decrease of life span of the power supply unit such as battery which supplies power to the suction force generating unit. Furthermore, the impeller generates offensive noise during its fast rotation.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure overcome the above disadvantages and other disadvantages not described above. Accordingly, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a stick type vacuum cleaner which has a power supply unit of increased lifespan, and is capable of reducing noise level of the suction force generating unit.

  • the casing part 110 includes an upper casing 111 and a lower casing 112 .
  • the upper casing 111 includes a dust separating unit chamber S to receive the dust separating unit 150 therein.
  • the upper casing 111 also includes a plurality of air discharge holes 111 a formed in a rear portion to permit the clean air to be discharged outside the suction port assembly 100 after the dust is separated in the dust separating unit 150 .
  • the lower casing 112 includes a suction port 112 a formed on the front portion. Dust and air can be drawn into the suction port assembly 100 through the suction port 112 a.

  • the rotatable brush motor 121 receives power supply from the power supply 130 ( FIG. 6 ).
  • the power supply 130 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented as a replaceable battery 130 mounted inside the casing part 110 .
  • the battery 130 supplies power not only to the rotatable brush motor 121 , but also to a suction motor 141 which will be explained below.
  • the suction force generating unit 140 includes the suction motor 141 , an impeller 142 , and a suction port connecting pipe 143 .
  • the suction motor 141 receives power from the battery 130 to rotate the impeller 142 .
  • the impeller 142 is rotated by the suction motor 141 to generate a vacuum pressure, or suction force.
  • the suction port connecting pipe 143 connects the suction port 112 a and the impeller 142 to guide the air and dust drawn from the object being cleaned into the impeller 142 .
  • the suction port assembly 100 includes the suction force generating unit 140 and the battery 130 to supply power to the suction force generating unit 140 to generate a suction force.
  • the vacuum cleaner 1 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure does not need a power line to receive external power.
  • the suction force generating unit 140 is arranged in front of the dust separating unit 150 . That is, the suction force generating unit 140 is provided between the suction port 112 a and the dust separating unit 150 . Air and dust is drawn through the suction port 112 a, and then passes the suction force generating unit 140 and flows into the dust separating unit 150 . More specifically, air and dust drawn through the suction port 112 a flows into the dust separating unit 150 via the impeller 142 provided in the suction force generating unit 140 .
  • the impeller 142 is arranged on a fluid passage that connects the suction port 112 a and the dust separating unit 150 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, the impeller 142 operates as a bypass impeller, while the motor to drive this bypass impeller operates as a bypass motor.
  • the vacuum cleaner according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can provide almost unaffected level of suction force to the suction port 112 a when the suction motor 141 rotates the impeller 142 with relatively slower speed.
  • the suction force generating unit 140 is arranged in front of the dust separating unit 150 , the vacuum pressure generated at the suction force generating unit 140 is transmitted to the suction port 112 a intact, that is, without being affected by the dust separating unit 150 . Furthermore, because the suction force generating unit 140 is arranged in front of the dust separating unit 150 , the impeller 142 of the suction force generating unit 140 is able to draw in dust and air introduced through the suction port 112 a using not only vacuum pressure, but also mechanical friction.
  • the mechanical friction of the impeller 142 more specifically refers to a friction between air and dust with the rotating blades (not illustrated) of the impeller 142 , which provides a moving force in the direction of the dust separating unit 150 .
  • the suction force generating unit 140 is arranged in back of the dust separating unit 150 , the vacuum pressure generated by the suction force generating unit 140 can be transmitted to the suction port 112 a via the dust separating unit 150 . Accordingly, the dust separating unit 150 has the loss of vacuum pressure while the vacuum pressure is transmitted from the suction force generating unit 140 to the suction port 112 a. Furthermore, if the suction force generating unit 140 is arranged in back of the dust separating unit 150 , dust is filtered at the dust separating unit 150 already prior to arriving at the suction force generating unit 140 , and therefore, it is impossible for the impeller 142 to draw the dust into the dust separating unit 150 by mechanical friction.
  • the impeller 142 can be rotated at a relatively slower speed than when the suction force generating unit 140 is provided in back of the dust separating unit 150 , but without compromising the level of suction force provided to the suction port 112 a. Because the suction motor 141 consumes less power to rotate the impeller 142 , the lifespan of the battery 130 to supply power to the suction motor 141 can be increased. Furthermore, because the rotational speed of the impeller 142 decreases, less amount of noise is generated from the rotation of the impeller 142 .
  • the dust separating unit 150 is removably mounted in the dust separating unit chamber (S) of the upper casing 111 .

  • the upper side 160 c of the cyclone dust separating unit 160 may be made out of a transparent material to allow observance of the cyclone chamber 163 and the dust collecting chamber 164 from outside. Accordingly, a user is able to see and check the dust separating performance of the cyclone chamber 163 and also check the amount of dust collected in the dust collecting chamber 164 , without having to disassemble the dust separating unit 150 .
  • the side cover 170 covers the second side 160 b of the cyclone dust separating unit 160 .
  • the side cover 170 is detachably formed on the cyclone dust separating unit 160 . If the dust collecting chamber 164 is full, the user detaches the side cover 170 from the cyclone dust separating unit 160 and empty the dust collecting chamber 170 .

  • the filter member 180 is disposed on an outer side 172 of the side cover 170 to filter remaining dust from the air received from the cyclone chamber 163 .
  • the filter member 180 is supported by the filter support member 190 to remain engaged with the side cover 170 .
