Exhaust structure of vacuum cleaner

Abstract

An exhaust structure of a vacuum cleaner prevents reduction in vacuum force by air leakage resulting from inclination of a dust container towards one side, and permits reduction in use of a sealing material. The exhaust structure comprises a main body having a suction port and a discharge port formed thereon, a suction fan positioned inside the discharge port, a dust container mounted at one side of a flow passage between the suction port and the discharge port and having a suction opening and an exhaust opening formed at one side thereof, and an exhaust conduit extending between the exhaust opening and the discharge port.

1 . An exhaust structure of a vacuum cleaner, comprising: 
 a main body having a suction port and a discharge port formed thereon;    a suction fan positioned inside the discharge port;    a dust container mounted at one side of a flow passage between the suction port and the discharge port, and having a suction opening and an exhaust opening formed at one side thereof; and    an exhaust conduit extending between the exhaust opening and the discharge port.    
   
   
       2 . The exhaust structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the suction port is formed at an upper end of the main body, and the discharge port is formed at a lower front side of the main body, the main body having a mounting part formed between the suction port and the discharge port such that the dust container is detachably mounted to the mounting part of the main body in a sliding manner.  
   
   
       3 . The exhaust structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a soft sealing material interposed between an upper surface of the exhaust conduit and the exhaust opening.    
   
   
       4 . The exhaust structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a cover installed at a lower end of the exhaust conduit connected to the suction fan to cover an induction port of the suction fan.    
   
   
       5 . The exhaust structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a housing fastened to the main body to define the suction fan, the housing having a discharge hole formed on a surface facing a discharge outlet of the suction fan and to which a filter is installed.
