A dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner is provided. The dust separating apparatus includes a cyclone configured to provide a plurality of cyclone airflows therein and a dust container provided separate from the cyclone. The cyclone includes a first air inlet configured to receive an airflow containing dust and a dust outlet configured to discharge dust separated by the plurality of cyclone airflows. The dust outlet is located in a central portion of the cyclone. The dust container is removably placeable into communication with the dust outlet to collect dust separated in the cyclone. A vacuum cleaner including the dust separating apparatus is also provided.

Vacuum cleaner and dust separating apparatus thereof

A dust separator for a vacuum cleaner including a body having a pair of spaced apart ends, a first air inlet formed in the body and being configured to receive an air flow containing dust, and a dust outlet formed inwardly of the spaced apart ends and apart from the first air inlet to discharge dust separated in the body, is provided. In addition, a cross-sectional area of the body at the dust outlet is greater than a cross-sectional area of the body at the first air inlet.

Dust separating apparatus of vacuum cleaner

A distribution unit for a dust separating apparatus of a vacuum cleaner is provided. The distribution unit distributes air and dust to the dust separation unit includes a body having an inlet for introducing the air and dust to the body, a plurality of branch passages for distributing the air introduced into the body to the dust separation unit, and a main passage for connecting the inlet with the branch passages, and wherein a passage cross-sectional area of the main passage at the branch passage is greater than a passage cross-sectional area of the inlet.

Dust separation apparatus of vacuum cleaner

The present invention discloses a vacuum cleaner including a main body () of the vacuum cleaner, a wheel () rotatably mounted at the body, a driving unit for driving the wheel (), a sensor () positioned at the main body, for sensing an inclined direction of the main body (), and a control unit for controlling the driving unit according to the inclined direction of the main body () sensed by the sensor (). In this configuration, the posture of the main body () of the vacuum cleaner can be controlled according to the inverted pendulum control theory. Therefore, the main body () of the vacuum cleaner can maintain the posture thereof not to fall down.

Vacuum cleaner having abilities for automatic moving and posture control and method of controlling the same

The present exemplary embodiments relate to a dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner. The dust separating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner according to present exemplary embodiments includes a cyclone in which a plurality of cyclone airflows is formed; a dust outlet for discharging dust separated by the plurality of cyclone airflows; and a dust container for storing dust discharged from the dust outlet, wherein the cyclone includes a body in which air flows along an inner surface thereof, and a pair of sides, each of the sides forming one of both side surfaces of the body and defining an outlet for discharging air.
