Abstract

Disclosed herein is a filter mounting structure of a vacuum cleaner. The filter mounting structure comprises a main body of the vacuum cleaner having a suction port and a discharge port, a suction fan at an air passage extending from the suction port to the discharge port, a dust collection container detachably mounted to the air passage, a filter installed inside the discharge port, a mounting part recessed into a portion of the main body such that the dust collection container is detachably mounted therein, and an insertion hole formed at a portion of the mounting part corresponding to an interior of the discharge port such that the filter is slidably and detachably installed thereto. The filter mounting structure allows the filter to be inserted into or separated from the discharge port without dissembling the main body of the vacuum cleaner, thereby allowing easy cleaning and replacement of the filter.
