Cleaner station

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cleaner station coupled to a cleaner in order to collect dust inside a cleaner dust container. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a cleaner station, which includes, as a foreign material storage member, a member of a bin type rather than a bag type, is economical and can increase user convenience since the foreign material storage member does not require periodic replacement, and has a simple structure since a dust separator such as a cyclone is not included, and thus user convenience is provided such that a user can easily carry out maintenance and repair such as washing of a dust collection container.

 a housing to which a cleaner is coupled so that dust in a dust bin of the cleaner is captured;   a suction flow path disposed in the housing and having one side configured to communicate with the dust bin of the cleaner;   a dust collecting motor disposed in the housing and configured to provide a suction force directed from the inside toward the outside of the dust bin through the suction flow path;   a cylindrical dust collecting container including an inlet port configured to communicate with the suction flow path at the other side of the suction flow path so that air is introduced into the inlet port, and a discharge port through which the air is discharged, the dust collecting container being configured to provide an accommodation space for the captured dust;   a discharge air moving part connected to the discharge port and configured to provide a space in which the air discharged from the dust collecting container is introduced and flows;   a rotary unit disposed in the dust collecting container and configured to collect the dust in the dust collecting container while rotating about a longitudinal axis of the dust collecting container along an inner peripheral surface of the dust collecting container; and   a compression plate disposed in the dust collecting container and disposed in a state of being fixed to one side in the dust collecting container,   wherein the rotary unit rotates in a direction toward the compression plate and compresses the dust between the rotary unit and the compression plate.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the discharge port has a predetermined area and is formed on a wall surface disposed in a radial direction of the dust collecting container among wall surfaces of the dust collecting container that define the accommodation space. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet port has a predetermined area and is formed in a wall surface disposed in a radial direction of the dust collecting container among wall surfaces of the dust collecting container that define the accommodation space. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a mesh net disposed in the discharge port to filter out the dust from the air discharged from the dust collecting container.   
     
     
         5 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the discharge air moving part comprises:
 a dust collecting motor connection part configured to communicate with the dust collecting motor so that the air discharged from the dust collecting container moves toward the dust collecting motor; and   a prefilter disposed on the dust collecting motor connection part to filter out the dust from the air discharged from the dust collecting container.   
     
     
         6 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the discharge air moving part comprises a suction flow path connection part disposed so that one end thereof is connected to the suction flow path, and the other end thereof is connected to the inlet port. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a major axis extending in an upward/downward direction, the dust collecting container is disposed outside and above the housing, and the longitudinal axis of the dust collecting container is disposed in parallel with the major axis. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the rotary unit comprises:
 a rotary shaft provided in the dust collecting container and disposed in the longitudinal direction of the dust collecting container; and   a rotary plate coupled to the rotary shaft so as to rotate together with the rotary shaft and disposed in a space between the rotary shaft and an inner radial peripheral surface of the dust collecting container.   
     
     
         9 . The cleaner station of  claim 8 , wherein the rotary shaft rotates in a first direction and then rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction after the dust between the rotary plate and the compression plate is compressed. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner station of  claim 8 , wherein the rotary unit further comprises a scrubber coupled to the rotary plate and provided to be in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the dust collecting container. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaner station of  claim 10 , wherein a height from a lower end surface in the dust collecting container to a lower end of the scrubber is smaller than a height from the lower end surface to a lower end of the discharge port, and a height from the lower end surface to an upper end of the scrubber is larger than a height from the lower end surface to an upper end of the discharge port. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaner station of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a dust compression motor connected to the rotary shaft and configured to operate to provide rotational power to the rotary shaft.   
     
     
         13 . The cleaner station of  claim 12 , wherein the dust compression motor is disposed outside the dust collecting container and configured to be separable from the dust collecting container. 
     
     
         14 . A cleaner station, which sucks and collects dust in a dust bin of a cleaner, the cleaner station comprising:
 a cylindrical dust collecting container including an inlet port into which air is introduced, and a discharge port through which the air is discharged, the cylindrical dust collecting container being configured to provide an accommodation space for captured dust;   a dust collecting motor disposed below the dust collecting container and configured to provide a suction force in the dust bin so that the dust is introduced into the dust collecting container through the inlet port;   a scrubber disposed in the dust collecting container and configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the dust collecting container, the scrubber being configured to rotate in a state in which the scrubber is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the dust collecting container; and   a mesh net disposed in the discharge port to filter out the dust from the air discharged from the dust collecting container,   wherein the mesh net is disposed in a partial region of a wall surface that is in contact with the rotating scrubber among wall surfaces of the dust collecting container that define the accommodation space.   
     
     
         15 . The cleaner station of  claim 14 , wherein the discharge port has a predetermined area and is formed on a wall surface disposed in a radial direction of the dust collecting container among wall surfaces of the dust collecting container that define the accommodation space. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaner station of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a rotary shaft provided in the dust collecting container and disposed in a longitudinal direction of the dust collecting container; and   a rotary plate having one end coupled to the rotary shaft and the other end coupled to the scrubber, the rotary plate being configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft.   
     
     
         17 . The cleaner station of  claim 16 , comprising:
 a compression plate disposed in the dust collecting container and disposed in a state of being fixed to one side in the dust collecting container,   wherein the rotary plate rotates in a direction toward the compression plate and compresses dust between the rotary plate and the compression plate.
