5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II ′ of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the dust collecting apparatus 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a dust collecting body 110 having an external appearance and having the dust storage portion 111 formed thereon, and a lower side of the dust collecting body 110.

And a pressing member 140 provided to be rotatable in the direction of the fixing member 130.

In detail, a fixed shaft 132 provided on one side of the fixing member 130 is provided at a substantially center portion of the dust storage unit 111. Here, the fixing shaft 132 is formed integrally with the fixing member 130, it may be fixed to the upper inner surface of the dust collecting body (110). The other side of the fixing member 130 may be connected to one side surface of the dust collecting body 110, and the fixing member 130 may be integrally formed with the dust collecting body 110.

In addition, the inside of the fixed shaft 132, the rotational axis 142 of the hollow shape is provided to provide a center of rotation of the pressing member 140, the hollow inside. In addition, the pressing member 140 may be formed to extend outward from the outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft 142.

A lower groove 222 is formed below the second gear 220 to allow the encoder shaft 231 to be inserted into the second gear 220.

Here, the encoder 230 refers to a sensor for converting the amount of mechanical displacement in the rotation direction to a digital amount. Although not shown in the drawing, the encoder 230 may be provided with a slit disc forming a scale. Here, a plurality of slits may be formed along the circumferential direction of the disc.

Meanwhile, in the process of rotating the original slit, light may be projected onto the slit, and the signal (number of pulses) of the optical pulses passing through the slit may be converted into position information of rotation.

Therefore, when the encoder 230 is coupled to the second gear 220, the rotation information of the second gear 220 and the pressing member 140 may be read.

In detail, the encoder 230 may allow information about the number of rotations of the second gear 220, the rotation direction, the rotation angle, and the like. Similarly, information about the number of rotations of the pressing member 140, the direction of rotation, the angle of rotation, and the like may be obtained.

That is, when the second gear 220 is rotated, the encoder shaft 231 is rotated, and the encoder 230 can grasp the rotation information of the encoder shaft 231.

On the other hand, in the process of the second gear 220 is rotated, the outer surface of the lower protrusion 146 may be formed in a polygonal shape so that the lower protrusion 146 is prevented from falling. Similarly, the shape of the upper groove 221 and the lower groove 222 may be formed in a polygon corresponding to the lower protrusion 146.

Power may be directly transmitted from the driving motor 200 to the second gear path 220. That is, the first gear 210 may be omitted, and the second gear 220 may be directly connected to the driving motor 200.

In this case, the motor shaft 202 may be connected between the second gear 220 and the driving motor 200, and the motor shaft 202 may be inserted into the encoder 230.

On the other hand, the second gear 220 may receive power from the drive motor 200 to transfer power to the lower protrusion 146. In addition, the encoder 230 may detect the amount of rotation of the second gear 220 and the lower protrusion 146 according to the rotation of the motor shaft 202.

Referring to FIG. 6, the pressing member 140 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction with respect to the fixing member 130.

As described above, when power is applied to the driving motor 200, a plurality of gears 210 and 220 are rotated. In addition, the downward protrusion 146 is rotated while being connected to the second gear 220, and thus the rotation shaft 142 is rotated.

In addition, as the rotation shaft 142 is rotated, the pressing member 140 may be rotated.

On the other hand, the dust collected in the dust storage unit 111 is guided by the rotating pressing member 140, can be moved to both sides of the fixing member 130 and compressed.

Then, when the amount of dust stored in the dust storage unit 111 is increased, the volume of the compressed dust is increased.

In addition, the pressing member 140 may vary in the range rotated by the amount of dust in the dust storage unit 111. That is, the rotation of the pressing member 140 may be rotated in the opposite direction when the rotation of the pressing member 140 is restricted.

In this case, a synchronous motor may be applied to the motor 200. When the reaction force of a predetermined magnitude or more is applied to the rotation direction of the motor, the synchronized motor may be controlled to stop the power supply for a moment and then rotate in the opposite direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pressing member 140 may be rotated in both directions about the dust 300 formed on both sides of the fixing member 130.

That is, the pressing member 140 may be rotated within an angle range of "α" in the dust storage unit 111.

In addition, the encoder 230 recognizes the amount of rotation of the pressing member 140, that is, the rotation range α. If it is recognized that the rotation range α of the pressing member 140 is formed at a predetermined angle or less, for example, at an angle of 90 degrees or less, the encoder 230 controls the information on the rotation range to be controlled. To deliver).

Then, the controller recognizes that the dust 300 is filled in the dust storage 111.

In this case, the controller may allow a user to display a warning to the user that the dust storage amount of the dust collecting apparatus is full.

That is, the controller itself may be a warning sound, or a speaker is mounted on the outside of the cleaner to hear a warning message. Alternatively, the display unit may be provided in the vacuum cleaner so that the amount of dust stored in the dust collecting apparatus may be checked.

By the configuration as described above, the encoder 230 has an advantage that can easily detect the amount of dust stored in the dust storage unit by grasping the rotation range of the pressing member 140.

In addition, the locking end 182 is formed to protrude by a predetermined length at the lower end of the dust collecting device 100, and is formed on both sides at a predetermined interval to catch both ends of the locking portion 181. The interval between the locking end 182 is to stop the movement of the pressing unit 180 when the locking unit 181 is separated from the locking end 182 by the pressing unit 180. It is formed smaller than the width of the pressing unit 180. Therefore, the pressing unit 180 is stopped by the locking end 182 so that it is not separated from the dust collecting device 100.

On the other hand, the locking portion 181 is formed with projections 184 on both sides in order to be caught and fixed to the locking end 182 when the lower cover 120 and the dust collecting device 100 is coupled. In addition, a predetermined groove 185 is formed to enable elastic movement so that the locking portion 181 is coupled to or separated from the locking end 182.

That is, since the shape of the locking portion 181 is flatly deformed and the shape of the locking portion 181 is deformed flat, a space in which the protrusion 184 can be separated from the locking end 182 is formed. The locking portion 181 is separated from the locking end 182. At this time, the pressing unit 180 is stopped by the locking end 182 is no longer moved to the lower side.

On the other hand, after the cleaning operation of the dust collecting device 100 is finished, the lower cover 120 should be coupled to the dust collecting device 100. In detail, the locking portion 181 is pushed upward. When the locking portion 181 is pushed upwards, the locking portion 182 meets the locking end 182, and when the locking portion 182 meets the locking end 182, the locking portion 181 undergoes a predetermined elastic movement and is flatly deformed. . Then, the locking portion 181 is able to move between the locking end 182, the coupling process is completed when the projection 184 passes through the locking end 182.
