Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station for suctioning dust stored in a dust bin of a cleaner to an inside thereof and the cleaner station according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a suction flow path which is connected to the dust bin and through which air including dust flows by a suction operation of a dust collection motor, a chamber housing disposed under the suction flow path and having an accommodation space provided therein, and a dust chamber configured to separately store dust suctioned from the cleaner and detachably coupled to the chamber housing, wherein the dust chamber may be inserted into the chamber housing in a first direction and withdrawn in a second direction that is a direction opposite to the first direction, and a coupling member having a shape that is coupled by being fitted in a sliding manner may be provided on an inner surface of the chamber housing and an outer surface of the dust chamber.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaner station connected to a dust bin of a cleaner to suction dust from the dust bin, the cleaner station comprising:
 a suction flow path which is connected to the dust bin and through which air including dust flows by a suction operation of a dust collection motor;   a chamber housing disposed under the suction flow path and having an accommodation space provided therein; and   a dust chamber configured to separately store dust suctioned from the cleaner and detachably coupled to the chamber housing,   wherein the dust chamber is inserted into the chamber housing in a first direction and withdrawn in a second direction that is a direction opposite to the first direction, and   a coupling member having a shape that is coupled by being fitted in a sliding manner is provided on an inner surface of the chamber housing and an outer surface of the dust chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling member includes:
 a coupling rail disposed on each of left and right outer surfaces of the dust chamber; and   a guide rail disposed at each of locations facing the coupling rail and provided in a shape that protrudes from left and right inner surfaces of the chamber housing to guide the movement of the coupling rail.   
     
     
         3 . The cleaner station of  claim 2 , wherein the chamber housing and the dust chamber are constrained in directions of two or more axes orthogonal to each other by coupling the coupling rail to the guide rail. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaner station of  claim 2 , wherein the coupling rail has a U shape with an open rear when viewed from a left surface or right surface of the dust chamber, and
 is formed with an insertion part having a shape corresponding to the guide rail so that the guide rail is fitted.   
     
     
         5 . The cleaner station of  claim 2 , wherein the guide rail has a greater vertical width as it extends in a sliding insertion direction of the dust chamber based on a state when viewed from a side surface. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaner station of  claim 2 , wherein the guide rail includes one or more inclined surfaces formed in a sliding insertion direction of the dust chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the chamber housing further includes an air hole through which air is introduced into an internal space of the chamber housing by a negative pressure. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaner station of  claim 7 , wherein in a state in which the dust chamber has been coupled to the chamber housing,
 a first space, which is an internal space of the dust chamber, and a second space, which is a space between the outer surface of the dust chamber and the inner surface of the chamber housing, are defined, and   when the dust of the cleaner is suctioned, the air hole forms a pressure difference by which the dust chamber is moved in a sliding insertion direction between the first space and the second space.   
     
     
         9 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the chamber housing further includes a connection flow path which is disposed in a sliding insertion direction of the dust chamber and through which air discharged from the chamber housing flows toward the dust collection motor. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner station of  claim 1 , wherein the dust chamber is selected from a first dust chamber and a second dust chamber, which include different types of dust separation means, by a user. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaner station of  claim 10 , wherein a dust bag, which is made of a material through which air passes but dust does not pass as the dust separation means, is detachably coupled to the first dust chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaner station of  claim 10 , wherein the second dust chamber includes a mesh net configured to separate dust using a plurality of holes formed in an air flow path as the dust separation means. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaner station of  claim 10 , wherein the second dust chamber includes a cyclone part configured to separate dust using a cyclone flow as the dust separation means.
