Upright type cleaner

Abstract

An upright type cleaner that uniformly provides a suction force through the whole area of a suction port. The upright type cleaner includes a body having a fan motor that generates suction force, a suction brush provided at a lower portion of the body and having a suction port to perform a cleaning operation relative to a floor using the suction force, a rotating drum installed in the suction brush, a belt connected between the rotating drum and the fan motor, a belt cover that guides the belt and divides the suction port into two suction areas, and a connection path through which the two suction areas are communicated to each other about the belt cover.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . An upright type cleaner comprising:
 a body having a fan motor that generates suction force;   a suction brush provided at a lower portion of the body and having a suction port to perform a cleaning operation relative to a floor using the suction force;   a rotating drum installed in the suction brush;   a belt connected between the rotating drum and the fan motor;   a belt cover that guides the belt and divides the suction port into two suction areas; and   a connection path through which the two suction areas are communicated to each other about the belt cover.   
     
     
         2 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a partition which is provided in a suction path of the suction brush in order to prevent dust sucked through the suction port from moving along the rotating drum. 
     
     
         3 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the partition protrudes into the suction path and extends in an axial direction of the rotating drum. 
     
     
         4 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein a height of the partition is gradually increased proportionally to a distance with respect to the connection port. 
     
     
         5 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the partition comprises an inclined guide section that is formed in a circumferential direction of the rotating drum. 
     
     
         6 . An upright type cleaner comprising:
 a body having a fan motor that generates suction force;   a suction brush coupled to the body and having a suction port for sucking dust and a suction path, in which a first end of the suction path is connected to the suction port and a second end of the suction path forms a connection port connected to the body;   a rotating drum installed in the suction brush and driven by the fan motor; and   a partition provided in the suction path to prevent dust sucked through the suction port from moving along the rotating drum.   
     
     
         7 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the partition protrudes into the suction path and extends in an axial direction of the rotating drum. 
     
     
         8 . The upright type cleaner as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a height of the partition is gradually increased proportionally to a distance with respect to the connection port.
