Cleaner

Abstract

Disclosed is a cleaner, including: a suction unit through which air comprising dust is sucked; a suction motor for generating a flow of the air such that the air flows into the suction unit; a cyclone unit in communication with the suction unit, for separating the dust from the air; a handle arranged in a direction opposite to the suction unit with respect to the cyclone unit and including a grip part allowing a user to grip with a hand; and a power supply unit for supplying power to the suction motor, and a longitudinal axis of the suction motor is disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the suction unit and parallel to a base surface of the power supply unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaner, comprising:
 a suction unit through which air containing dust is sucked;   a suction motor for generating a flow of the air such that the air flows into the suction unit;   a cyclone unit in communication with the suction unit, for separating the dust from the air;   a handle arranged in a direction opposite to the suction unit with respect to the cyclone unit and comprising a grip part allowing a user to grip with a hand; and   a power supply unit for supplying power to the suction motor,   wherein a longitudinal axis of the suction motor is disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the suction unit and parallel to a base surface of the power supply unit.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the suction motor is disposed on the handle, and the power supply unit is disposed below the handle.   
     
     
         3 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a handle extension line formed by extending a tangential line contacting an outer circumferential surface of the grip part is disposed so as to be spaced apart from a radial outer circumferential surface of the suction motor by a certain distance and does not penetrate the suction motor.   
     
     
         4 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a center of gravity of the suction motor is disposed in a direction opposite to the suction unit with respect to a longitudinal axis of the grip part.   
     
     
         5 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a rear housing disposed rearward with respect to the handle, having a cylindrical shape, and allowing the suction motor to be received and seated therein,   wherein an inclined surface formed to face a user during cleaning is provided in a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rear housing.   
     
     
         6 . The cleaner of  claim 5 ,
 wherein a display unit for displaying an operational state of the cleaner is disposed on the inclined surface.   
     
     
         7 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the longitudinal axis of the suction unit is disposed at an upper part spaced apart by a certain distance from the grip part.   
     
     
         8 . The cleaner of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the longitudinal axis of the suction unit is disposed to penetrate at least a portion of the suction motor.   
     
     
         9 . The cleaner of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a discharge cover coupled to one side of the suction motor in a longitudinal direction and having an air discharge portion through which the dust is filtered and remaining air is discharged.   
     
     
         10 . The cleaner of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the air discharge portion comprises a plurality of openings spaced apart from each other by a certain distance, and each of the openings are provided in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the suction motor in a state in which the discharge cover is coupled to the suction motor.
