Cleaner

Abstract

A cleaner is provided. The cleaner includes a housing, a filtering member provided to form a dust collecting chamber inside the housing, and a main body configured to be moved relative to the housing. The main body includes a dirt removal member configured to be moved on the dust collecting chamber, an opening and closing device configured to open and close the dust collecting chamber and provided to interlock with the dirt removal member, and a connecting frame configured to connect the dirt removal member and the opening and closing device, the connecting frame including a guide rib provided to prevent rubbish, which is contained in air flowing into the dust collecting chamber, from rotating in the dust collecting chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaner comprising:
 a housing;   a filtering member provided to form a dust collecting chamber inside the housing; and   a main body configured to be moved relative to the housing,   wherein the main body comprises:
 a dirt removal member configured to be moved on the dust collecting chamber, 
 an opening and closing device configured to open and close the dust collecting chamber and provided to interlock with the dirt removal member, and 
 a connecting frame configured to connect the dirt removal member and the opening and closing device, the connecting frame comprising a guide rib provided to prevent rubbish, which is contained in air flowing into the dust collecting chamber, from rotating in the dust collecting chamber. 
   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the guide rib is a first guide rib, and   wherein the connecting frame further comprises a second guide rib provided to face the first guide rib.   
     
     
         3 . The cleaner of  claim 2 , wherein each of the first guide rib and the second guide rib comprises:
 a first lateral portion spaced apart from an inner circumferential surface of the filtering member by a first distance; and   a second lateral portion positioned opposite to the first lateral portion and spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the filtering member by a second distance greater than the first distance.   
     
     
         4 . The cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein the first lateral portion is disposed adjacent to the inner circumferential surface of the filtering member. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein a distance between the first guide rib and the second guide rib is increased from the first lateral portion toward the second lateral portion. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the guide rib guides air, which flows into the dust collecting chamber, to allow the air, which flows into the dust collecting chamber, to be moved to a direction away from the guide rib. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaner of  claim 3 , wherein each of the first guide rib and the second guide rib further comprises:
 a curved member formed, in such a way that at least a portion from the first lateral portion to the second lateral portion is curved, so as to form a flow of air in the dust collecting chamber.   
     
     
         8 . The cleaner of  claim 7 , wherein the curved member comprises a shape extending along a circumferential direction of the dust collecting chamber. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the guide rib is biasedly disposed inside the dust collecting chamber. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the main body is configured to be slidable between a first position for closing the dust collecting chamber and a second position for opening the dust collecting chamber, and   wherein in response to the main body being moved from the first position to the second position, the connecting frame is moved from an inside of the housing to an outside of the housing.   
     
     
         11 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting frame further comprises:
 a first frame on which the dirt removal member is mounted; and   a second frame on which the opening and closing device is mounted.   
     
     
         12 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , wherein the main body further comprises a dirt separation device disposed above the dust collecting chamber to remove rubbish from air passing through the dust collecting chamber.
