         6 . The cleaner station of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a collision portion provided in the dust separation space and disposed along at least a part of an outer boundary of the dust passing hole,   wherein at least one surface of the collision portion is directed in a direction of an inertial force applied to the dust discharged from the impactor flow path tube.   
     
     
         7 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the discharge air moving part comprises:
 a discharge air moving part housing configured to define a space into which the discharge air discharged from the impactor flow path tube is introduced;   a prefilter disposed in the discharge air moving part housing and configured to additionally filter out the dust from the discharge air; and   a suction flow path connection tube disposed in the discharge air moving part housing and configured to communicate with the suction flow path, and   wherein the impactor flow path tube communicates with the suction flow path connection tube through one end thereof.   
     
     
         8 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the impactor flow path tube has a louver installed so that the air is discharged in a direction disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to a direction in which the air flows in the impactor flow path tube. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaner station of  claim 8 , wherein the louver is installed in an opening of the impactor flow path tube directed laterally. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner station of  claim 8 , wherein the louver is installed in an opening the impactor flow path tube directly upward. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , further comprising:
