Description
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to improve the structure of the vacuum cleaner to compress the dust stored in the dust collecting container and at the same time the amount of dust stored in the dust collecting container by using an encoder is detected. It is about.
In general, a cleaner is a device that sucks air containing a foreign material by using a suction force generated by a suction motor mounted inside the main body, and then filters the foreign material in the main body.
On the other hand, the air sucked into the cleaner body by the driving of the suction motor is moved to the dust separator to separate the foreign matter in the air. In addition, foreign matters such as dust separated in the dust separator are discharged and introduced into the dust collector, and the air from which the dust is separated is generally discharged to the outside through a predetermined flow path.
In addition, a predetermined flow path or a branch flow path may be provided inside the cleaner body to allow the sucked air to move to the dust separation unit. In addition, the air containing the foreign matter is moved into the dust separation unit through the flow path and the dust in the air is subjected to the process of filtering.
However, in the related art, the capacity of the dust collecting device is limited, so that the dust collecting device needs to be cleaned every time the cleaner is used several times.
In addition, there was a problem that it is difficult to determine how much dust is accumulated in the dust collecting container, and accordingly there was a problem that the dust is continuously sucked into the dust collecting container in excess of the capacity of the dust collecting container and the cleaning performance is lowered.
In addition, when applying a structure to compress the dust to the dust collector there is a structurally difficult problem that the cover that can be opened and closed at the lower end of the dust collector. In this case, when the cover is to be applied to the upper end of the dust collector, and the dust stored in the dust collector is to be emptied, there is a problem that the dust collector has to be turned upside down.
The dust collecting apparatus of the vacuum cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and improves the structure of the vacuum cleaner so as to compress the dust stored in the dust collecting container and simultaneously open the lower part of the dust collecting container. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum cleaner which allows the dust storage amount of the dust collecting container to be increased and the dust can be easily emptied.
In addition, the dust collecting device is intended to be provided with an encoder for allowing the rotatable angle of the pressing member to be recognized, so that the amount of dust collected in the dust collecting container is sensed.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vacuum cleaner includes: a cleaner body having a mounting portion; and a driving motor provided to the cleaner body; And a dust collecting apparatus detachably provided to the mounting portion, wherein the dust collecting apparatus includes: a dust collecting body in which a dust storage unit is formed; A lower cover provided below the dust collecting body and selectively opened; And a pressurizing member rotatably provided in the dust storage unit to reduce the volume of the stored dust, and the cleaner body further includes an encoder to sense the amount of rotation of the pressurizing member.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a vacuum cleaner includes: a cleaner body having a mounting portion formed thereon, a driving motor provided to the cleaner body; and a dust collecting device detachably provided at the mounting portion; And a pressurizing member rotatably provided in the dust collecting device to reduce the volume of the stored dust, wherein the cleaner body includes a gear for driving a driving force of the driving motor to the pressurizing member, and is connected to the gear, The encoder further includes an encoder for sensing the rotation amount of the pressing member.
According to an embodiment of the present invention by the above means, even if the foreign matter accumulated in the dust storage unit formed in the dust collecting apparatus can compress the foreign material by the dust compression structure to reduce the volume of the foreign matter, foreign matter to be stored in the dust collecting apparatus There is an advantage that the amount of.
In addition, by connecting the gear member and the encoder to rotate the pressing member, the rotation angle of the pressing member can be recognized by the encoder, and thus can detect the amount of dust inside the dust collecting container, so that the user when cleaning the dust collecting container There is an advantage that can be easily known.
In addition, the cover is provided at the lower end of the dust collector has an advantage that the user can easily open and close the cover to clean the foreign material.
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described a specific embodiment of the present invention. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention can easily suggest other embodiments within the scope of the same idea.
