A multi-cyclone dust separator according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises at least three dust separation units for separating dust stepwise from relatively larger size. The dust separation units comprise a first dust separation unit primarily separating dust from external air drawn in; a second dust separation unit secondarily separating dust from the air primarily dust-separated by the first dust separation unit; and a third dust separation unit thirdly separating dust from the air secondarily dust-separated by the second dust separation unit. Here, the first to third dust separation units are multi-layered in a serial manner.

A vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body having a suction source for generating a suction force; a suction nozzle assembly to draw in a dust or dirt from a surface to be cleaned by using the suction force of the suction source; a cyclone unit to separate the dust or dirt drawn in through the suction nozzle assembly from an air; a dust bin detachably disposed to the cleaner body to collect the dust or dirt separated at the cyclone unit; and a shredder to shred a paper, the shredder being detachably communicated with an opening of the dust bin to collect the shredded paper into the dust bin.

Vacuum cleaner having shredder

A vacuum cleaner having a detachable cord reel unit is provided. The vacuum cleaner includes a main body, a brush assembly connected to the main body and, a cord reel unit attachable to and detachable from a discharging portion of the main body, the cord reel unit comprising a power cord and a cooling fan formed therein, wherein the cooling fan stops driving automatically when the cord reel unit is mounted in the main body, and the cooling fan starts driving automatically to cool the power cord when the cord reel unit is detached from the main body.

Vacuum cleaner with detachable cord reel unit

A dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner is provided. The dust collecting apparatus includes a dust separating chamber separating dust from dust-laden air, a dust collecting chamber storing the dust separated by the dust separating chamber, and an air discharge guide duct guiding the air discharged from the dust separating chamber to an air outlet at a lower end of the dust collecting chamber. The air discharge guide duct includes a first duct formed on a rear surface of the dust collecting apparatus so as to guide the air discharged from the dust separating chamber downwards, a second duct being coupled with the first duct and extending into the dust separating chamber, and a third duct formed in the dust separating chamber so as to connect the second duct with the air outlet.

Dust collecting apparatus for vacuum cleaner

A bypass type cleaning apparatus includes a suction nozzle; an air suction unit being in fluid communication with the suction nozzle via an entering passage; and at least two contaminant collecting receptacles being in fluid communication with at least two exits formed at the air suction unit, respectively.

Bypass type cleaning apparatus

A vacuum apparatus having a suction nozzle, an air suction unit to which the suction nozzle is pivotally connected and which fluidly communicates with the suction nozzle through a connection channel, a dirt receptacle which has at least two collecting parts fluidly communicating with at least two outlets formed at the air suction unit, respectively.

Cleaner apparatus

A connecting tube having a dust sensing function is provided. The connecting tube includes a tube element having a first air flowing passage; a body having a second air flowing passage to communicate with the first air flowing passage; a detecting sensor disposed on the second air flowing passage to detect whether the dust or dirt passes through the second air flowing passage; a lamp part to operate according to a signal outputted from the detecting sensor; a rotating part rotatably disposed on the body; a rotation driving-passage part disposed on the body to draw in an external air into the second air flowing passage and thus to rotate the rotating part; an electric generator connected to the rotating part to generate an electric power; and a muffler part to reduce noises from the rotating part and the flowing air.

Connecting tube having dust sensing function for use in vacuum cleaner

A suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle body which includes a suction port adapted to draw in contaminants on a surface, and a contaminant attachment unit formed in the suction nozzle body. The contaminant attachment unit is adapted to attach contaminants thereto.
