Abstract

A cleaner system includes: a cleaner; a cleaner station; and an imaginary plane including an imaginary suction flow path through line penetrating a suction flow path in a longitudinal direction and an imaginary suction motor axis defined by extending a rotation axis of a suction motor, in which when the cleaner is coupled to the cleaner station, the plane penetrates at least a part of the cleaner station, such that a center of gravity of the cleaner is disposed to pass through a space for maintaining balance of the station, and as a result, it is possible to stably support the cleaner and the station while preventing the cleaner and the station from falling down.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaner system comprising:
 a cleaner comprising:
 a suction part that defines a suction flow path configured to receive air, 
 a suction motor configured to rotate about a rotation axis to thereby generate suction force for suctioning the air through the suction part, 
 a cyclone configured to separate dust from the air introduced through the suction part, and 
 a dust bin configured to store the dust separated by the cyclone; and 
   a cleaner station comprising:
 a housing that defines a dust collecting space configured to receive the dust from the dust bin of the cleaner, 
 a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for suctioning the dust in the dust bin into the dust collecting space, 
 a dust bin guide surface configured to support an outer circumferential surface of the dust bin, and 
 a sealer disposed at the dust bin guide surface. 
   
     
     
         2 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the sealer is configured to seat the outer circumferential surface of the dust bin, and
 wherein an extension of a longitudinal axis of the dust bin intersects a longitudinal axis of the cleaner station based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer after.   
     
     
         3 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the sealer is configured to provide sealing between the dust bin guide surface and a part of the outer circumferential surface of the dust bin based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the sealer is pressed by a weight of the cleaner based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer, and the dust bin and the dust bin guide surface are sealed by the sealer. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaner station further comprises a charging part configured to electrically connect to the cleaner based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer after. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaner system of  claim 5 , wherein the charging part is disposed above the sealer in a longitudinal direction of the cleaner station based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer after. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaner system of  claim 5 , wherein the charging part is disposed above the sealer in a longitudinal direction of the cleaner station based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer after. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaner station further comprises a flow path part connecting the dust bin and the dust collecting space based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaner system of  claim 8 , wherein the sealer seals a space between the dust bin and the dust bin guide surface when dust is collected from the dust bin into the flow path part. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaner further comprises a handle configured to be disposed above the sealer in a longitudinal direction of the cleaner station based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer after. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the dust collecting motor is configured to rotate about a dust collecting motor axis,
 wherein the suction flow path extends in a longitudinal axis of the suction part, and   wherein, based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer, the sealer is disposed between the dust collecting motor axis and the longitudinal axis of the suction part.   
     
     
         12 . The cleaner system of  claim 11 , wherein the dust collecting motor axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the suction part. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaner system of  claim 11 , wherein the dust collecting motor axis intersects the rotation axis of the suction motor. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaner system of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaner further comprises a battery configured to supply power to the suction motor, and
 wherein, based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer, the battery is disposed above the rotation axis of the suction motor in a vertical direction with respect to a ground surface that supports the cleaner station.   
     
     
         15 . The cleaner system of  claim 14 , wherein, based on the dust bin being seated on the sealer, the dust bin is disposed between the sealer and the battery in the vertical direction.
