Abstract

PURPOSE: To close a ventilation path for making a dust collecting part and a motor-driven blower housing part communicate with each other at the time of opening the dust collecting part, to prevent a foreign matter from being inserted to the motor-driven blower housing part at the time of opening the dust collecting part and to improve safety by linking an opening/closing body for opening and closing the ventilation path with the opening and closing of an opening/closing lid, closing the ventilation path at the time of opening the opening/ closing lid and opening the ventilation path at the time of closing the opening/closing lid. CONSTITUTION: At the base end of the opening/closing lid 10, the opening/closing body 24 whose vertical cross section is formed in a projecting arc shape to be turned along the upper surface opening part of the ventilation path 6 at the time of the opening is integrally formed. The opening/closing body 24 is brought into contact with packing 9 and closes the upper surface opening part of the ventilation path 6 at the time of opening the opening/closing lid 10 and opens the upper surface opening part of the ventilation path 6 to be a communication part with the dust collecting part 3 and makes the ventilation path 6 communicate with the dust collecting part 3 at the time of closing the opening/closing lid 10. When the opening/ closing lid 10 is opened for the exchange of a filter 22 or the like, the opening/closing body 24 pressurized at a cam surface 27 is pressurized by a spring 26, the opening/closing body 24 closes the communication part 23, the suction side of a motor-driven blower 7 is closed, the fan part of the motor-driven blower 7 is prevented from being touched with hands and the foreign matter is prevented from entering.
