Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum cleaner technology, and in particular to a folding vacuum cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum cleaner is a household cleaning device. Inside the machine is an electric fan that runs at high speed when powered on, creating an instantaneous vacuum inside the vacuum cleaner. The internal air pressure is much lower than the external air pressure. Under this pressure difference, dust and dirt are drawn into the vacuum cleaner's canister with the airflow. The dirt remains in the dust collection section, while the purified air is re-entered into the room through the electric motor, serving to cool the motor and purify the air.

[0003] Currently, commercially available vacuum cleaners generally extend the cleaning cycle and reduce the frequency of cleaning by increasing the volume of the dust collection section. However, the larger the dust collection section, the larger the vacuum cleaner becomes, taking up more storage space when not in use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of vacuum cleaner that can save on storage space. Utility Model Content
