A vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The vacuum cleaner according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes a main body and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle includes a housing, a button, a rotating brush, and a detachable cover. The housing includes an insertion hole. The button includes a first protrusion. The detachable cover includes a cover body and a slider. The cover body includes an insertion member, a second protrusion, and a rail. The rotating brush is rotatably mounted to the slider. The slider is mounted on the rail so as to be movable in a first direction. The insertion member is inserted into the insertion hole in the first direction. As the button is moved, the first protrusion is selectively positioned in a movement path in the first direction of the second protrusion.

Vacuum cleaner

A vacuum cleaner includes a main body and a suction nozzle that suctions up dust on the floor. The suction nozzle includes a housing, a driver, and a rotating brush. The housing includes an entrance through which the dust travels to the main body, a first shaft member, and a first rib disposed along a circumference of the first shaft member. The rotating brush includes a cylindrical body rotated by the first shaft member. The rotating brush also includes a brush member attached to an outer surface of the cylindrical body. The brush member rubs against the floor to direct the dust on the floor towards the entrance. As the brush member rotates, it also comes into contact with the first rib. The brush member includes a plurality of filaments. Some of the filaments are elastically deformed in the direction of the rotation axis upon contacting the first rib.

A vacuum cleaner includes a main body and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle includes a connector that defines a passage configured to guide the dust in a first direction to the main body, and a housing that rotatably connects to the connector and defines an inlet configured to transfer the dust to the passage. The connector includes an insertion portion that has a cylindrical shape and is configured to insert into the inlet, a first connection portion spaced apart from the inlet in the first direction, and a coupling part disposed at an outer surface of the insertion portion. The coupling part and the first connection portion are configured to restrict movement of the housing in the first direction, and the inlet is configured to restrict deformation of at least one of the insertion portion or the coupling part.

A dust collection unit for a vacuum cleaner includes a first filtering chamber filtering foreign objects using a cyclone airflow, a separation plate defining a top surface of the first filtering chamber, a filter having a diameter that is reduced as it goes downward in response to airflow rate variation in the first filtering chamber, and a blocking member provided under the filter to prevent the foreign objects filtered in the first filtering chamber from flying.

Dust collection unit and vacuum cleaner with the same

A dust collection assembly of a vacuum cleaner is provided. The dust collection assembly includes a dust collecting box, a filter, a flow guide unit, an exhaust guider, and an upper cover. The dust collecting box and the flow guide unit are integrally formed in a single body. The dust collecting box includes a first and second dust collecting spaces for collecting foreign objects. The filter is disposed in the inside of the dust collecting space to primarily filter foreign objects during operation of a cyclone. The flow guide unit guides airflow and has small cyclones integrally formed therein, for secondarily filtering the foreign objects in air. The exhaust guider guides airflow and has a plurality of discharge holes through which air filtered by the small cyclone flows. The upper cover is disposed on the upper side of the exhaust guider.

Dust collection assembly of vacuum cleaner

A dust collecting unit of a vacuum cleaner is provided. The dust collecting unit includes: a plurality of storing chambers and a plurality of filtering chambers provided in the inside of a multi-cyclone dust collecting unit. To improve reliability of the product, the storing chambers and the filtering chambers are integrally formed as one body.

Dust collection unit of vacuum cleaner

A dust collection unit for a vacuum cleaner includes a collection body having a plurality of filtering chambers different from each in a volume and a plurality of storing chambers storing foreign objects filtered in the filtering chambers, a bottom seal member defining a bottom of the collection body, and an exhaust member guiding airflow in the filtering chambers. The exhaust member contacts tops of the filtering chambers as well as an outer circumference of the collection body.

Dust collection unit for vacuum cleaner

A dust collection unit for a vacuum cleaner includes a first cylindrical filtering chamber for filtering foreign objects contained in air using a cyclone airflow, a plurality of second filtering chamber formed along an outer circumference of the first cylindrical filtering chamber to receive the air passed through the first cylindrical filtering chamber, a first storing chamber formed under the first filtering chamber to store the foreign objects filtered in the first filtering chamber, a second storing chamber for storing the foreign objects filtered in the second filtering chambers, and a connection plate interconnecting opposite ends of the second storing chamber to define the first filtering chamber, the connection plate having a lower end located to be higher than a lower end of the second storing chamber.
