Dust-container assembly of vacuum cleaner

Abstract

A dust container assembly for a vacuum cleaner. The dust container assembly includes: a casing having an intake port formed at one side thereof and an outlet port formed at the other side thereof, and provided therein with an inlet guide member therein corresponding to the outlet port such that a vortex can be generated by introduced air; an operation unit provided at the outlet port side and inducing foreign substances and air to be suctioned through the intake port; and a filter unit disposed inside the casing, filtering out foreign substances from air introduced through the intake port and flowing to the outlet port, and having a shape gradually decreasing in diameter with increasing distance from the outlet port. The dust container assembly includes a multifunctional filter disposed on a cone type protector fixedly mounted inside a dust container to filter out various foreign substances suctioned into the dust container while allowing pure air to be discharged through removal of various gases and smells contained in suctioned substances, and employs a sound absorption pad to reduce noise caused by operation of a fan motor for suction of air and foreign substances.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a dust container assembly for a vacuum cleaner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dust container assembly for a vacuum cleaner, which includes a multifunctional filter disposed on a cone type protector fixedly mounted inside a dust container to filter various foreign substances suctioned into the dust container while discharging pure air through removal of various gases and smells contained in suctioned substances; and includes a sound absorption pad to reduce noise caused by operation of a fan motor for suction of air and foreign substances.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A typical vacuum cleaner has a structure wherein a motor for generating vacuum and an envelope type filter are disposed within a main body of the cleaner to allow sludge to be introduced into the main body of the cleaner through vacuum force generated by activation of the motor and to be filtered out through t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a vacuum cleaner with a reduced noise level caused by the motor. It also provides a space between the protector and the inlet guide member to allow larger dust or garbage particles to easily pass through and enter the vacuum. The invention also includes a sound absorption pad that helps reduce noise caused by the fan motor. The casing is also provided with a gasket to prevent leakage of foreign substances.

Problems solved by technology

A typical vacuum cleaner has a problem of loud noise caused by a motor inside a case storing foreign substances such as dust.

In addition, in a typical vacuum cleaner, there is a narrow space between a cone type protector and an inlet guide member, which does not allow large dust or garbage particles to easily pass therethrough, thereby reducing rotational force of air and dust.
