Vacuum cleaner with an integrated handheld vacuum cleaner unit

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a vacuum cleaner with an integrated handheld vacuum cleaner unit that includes a dust container detachably mounted on a body of the vacuum cleaner and configured to perform vacuum cleaning via air suction in a detached state. The dust container of the vacuum cleaner permits vacuum cleaning not only in a state of being mounted in the body, but also in a state of being detached therefrom. Accordingly, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention can eliminate needs of separately buying a larger vacuum cleaner and a smaller vacuum cleaner, thereby being more economical for consumers.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with an integrated handheld vacuum cleaner unit that includes a dust container detachably mounted on a body of the vacuum cleaner and configured to perform vacuum cleaning via air suction in a detached state. BACKGROUND ART [0002] According to shapes and usage postures, vacuum cleaners can be generally classified into a canister type vacuum cleaner, which provides convenience in corner cleaning and movement while allowing easy replacement of a brush or a nozzle, and an upright type vacuum cleaner, which provides convenience in storage and allows easy cleaning of a large space. [0003]FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional vacuum cleaner. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional vacuum cleaner generally includes a suction unit 11 which will be brought into close contact with a floor, a pipe 12 connected to the suction unit 11 and having a predetermined length, a handle 13 connected to the pipe 12, ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0035] As apparent from the above description, the dust container of the vacuum cleaner according to the present invention permits vacuum cleaning not only in a state of being mounted in the body, but also in a state of being detached therefrom.

[0036] Accordingly, the vacuum cleaner of the present invention can eliminate needs of separately buying a larger vacuum cleaner and a smaller vacuum cleaner, thereby being more economical for consumers.

Problems solved by technology

However, since such a vacuum container has the motor installed inside the body, it is necessary to move the body when performing the vacuum operation at several locations on the floor.

Therefore, the conventional vacuum cleaner has problems in that the overall body must be moved even for corner vacuuming or partial vacuuming, and in that, in the case where a power cable has a short length, it must be plugged again into a wall socket near a vacuuming location.
