According to the second means, when the intake port terminal is erroneously short-circuited for some reason, an abnormal current flows through the intake port terminal and the voltage between the intake port terminals becomes zero. That is, the current detection circuit outputs a signal with a waveform, but the voltage detection circuit outputs a signal without a signal. When such an output state occurs, the main body receiving means determines that the intake port terminal is short-circuited, and the intake port current limiting device provided between the commercial power supply and the intake port terminal is used to reach the intake port terminal. To limit the current supply of. By these actions, it is possible to prevent an abnormal current from flowing to the intake port.

As is apparent from the above embodiments, the present invention has the following effects. (1) When the hose is not connected to the intake port, the circuit power consumption is reduced, so that the circuit power consumption of the vacuum cleaner can be reduced. (2) The circuit of the main body is not broken or melted, the circuit can be protected, and the risk of a fire due to heat generation of the circuit element or the like can be prevented. (3) Since the voltage of 30 V or less is used from the secondary side of the step-down circuit, the insulation distance of the charged metal parts having different polarities is reduced from 2 mm to the required minimum distance, and the circuit occupied area can be reduced. (4) Since the insulating film or the like attached to the intake port terminal or the hose contact is destroyed, the occurrence of problems such as contact failure of the contact can be reduced, and highly reliable control can be performed.
