A vacuum cleaner includes a dust collector that compresses dust stored inside a dust container to minimize the volume of the dust. The dust collector would include one or more pressing plates that are used to compress the dust stored in dust collector. Various methods are used to control movements of the movable pressing plates to facilitate the compression operations. Also, various methods are used to determine when the dust collector is full and needs to be emptied.

Vacuum cleaner with removable dust collector, and methods of operating the same

A vacuum cleaner and a method of controlling the vacuum cleaner are provided. The vacuum cleaner may include a main body, a dust collection device mounted in the main body, at least one compression member that compresses the dust in the dust collection device, and a driver that drives the compressing member.

Vacuum cleaner and method of controlling the same

A vacuum cleaner is provided. The vacuum cleaner may include a main body, a dust collector, at least one pressing member, and a driver. The dust collector may be detachably attached to the main body and may include a dust storage chamber. The at least one pressing member may compress dust stored in the dust storage chamber. The driver may be disposed in the dust collector and actuate the at least one pressing member.

Vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner may include a cleaner body, in which a suction motor is provided; a dust collector selectively attached to the cleaner body, in which a dust container is formed; at least one pressing element that presses dust stored in the dust container; and a drive device that drives the at least one pressing element.

A vacuum cleaner is provided. The vacuum cleaner may include a dust collection container that stores dust, a compression member that is provided in the dust collection container and which is capable of rotating in first and second directions, and a driver that rotates the compression member. The compression member rotates in a first space corresponding to a first angle range and at least a portion of the dust is stored in a second space corresponding to a second angle range.

Object of the present invention is to provide a dust collecting device () for a vacuum cleaner of the dust collecting performance is improved. For this, a dust collecting device () for a vacuum cleaner is provided, including a primary cyclone unit () for separating dust by a cyclone principle, a secondary cyclone unit () around the primary cyclone unit () for separating dust from air discharged from the primary cyclone unit () by the cyclone principle, a primary dust container () for storing the dust separated at the primary cyclone unit (), and a secondary dust container () in the primary dust container () for storing the dust separated at the secondary cyclone unit ().

Dust collecting device for vacuum cleaner

Object of the present invention is to provide a dust collecting device () for a vacuum cleaner of which dust collecting performance is improved. For this, the dust collecting of the present invention includes two parallel primary cyclones () for separating dust by a cyclone principle, and two secondary cyclones () for separating dust introduced thereto from the primary cyclones () by the cyclone principle, and a dust container () for storing dust separated by the primary cyclones () and the secondary cyclones (), wherein the two primary cyclones () surround the two secondary cyclones (), respectively.

Object of the present invention is to provide a dust collecting device () for a vacuum cleaner of which dust collecting performance is improved. For this, the dust collecting device () includes a primary cyclone unit () having two parallel primary cyclones () for separating dust form air introduced therein by a cyclone principle, and a secondary cyclone () unit at a downstream of the primary cyclones () for cleaning the air again by the cyclone principle.
