The driving shaft is a shaft which drives the conveyor belt. The pulley is a passive rotating shaft on which the conveyor belt rotates. The conveyor belt is made of an elastic material e.g. rubber. The conveyor belt has two flaps which can be produced as a one part element or the flaps can be made of different material than the conveyor belt and assembled together. The conveyor belt has two modes of operation. The first mode is when the vacuum cleaner is vacuuming and the conveyor belt is in position in which flaps close openings and makes the first compartment and the second compartment sealed. The second mode is when the vacuuming process is finished or when decreased air flow is detected. Then the conveyor belt rotates in order to distribute the dust from the first compartment into the second compartment through openings. During the rotation of the conveyor belt one of the flap reach the pleats of the filter in order to clean the filter and second flap compress the dust in the vicinity of the dirt outlet. The positive effect is that the vacuuming time is extended and the airflow is constant during the whole cleaning cycle.

  • In cooperation with attached drawing, the technical contents and detailed description of the present invention are described thereinafter according to a preferable embodiment being not used to limit its executing scope. Any equivalent variation and modification made according to appended claims is all covered by the claimed by the present invention.
  • In the following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, similar identical reference numbers designate identical of comparable components.
  • Fig. 1 shows a dust container 10 of a vacuum cleaner. The dust container 10 comprises a first compartment 11 with an air intake 12 and a filter 13. An air intake 12 is a place where a tube of the vacuum cleaner (not shown on the figure) is connected through which the dirty air is transferred into the first compartment 11 of the dust container 10. The dust container 10 comprises a second compartment 14 having a dirt outlet 15. The first compartment 11 is separated from the second compartment 14 by a partition wall 16. The partition wall 16 divides the dust container 10 partially. On both sides of the partition wall 16, free spaces are provided, namely the first opening 21 and the second opening 22. The second opening 22 is provided to enable transferring the dust from the first compartment 11 into the second compartment 14. The first opening 21 is provided to enable passing the flap 20 through. The dust container 10 has a dust compression unit comprising a conveyor belt 17 which rotates on the driving shaft 18 and a pulley 19. The conveyor belt 17 has two flaps 20. Flaps 20 are positioned on the conveyor belt 17 on the opposite sides of the conveyor belt 17. Flaps 20 and the conveyor belt 17 are made as one part element which is responsible for transferring dust and dust compression.
  • Fig. 2 shows a dust container 10 in a second mode. The second mode is when the vacuum cleaner are in state after finishing vacuuming or in a state when a decreased air flow inside the dust container 10 is detected. In the second mode, the conveyor belt 17 rotates thanks to the driving shaft 18 and the pulley 19. During rotation of the conveyor belt 17 flaps 20 changes their position to transfer the dust from the first compartment 11 into the second compartment 14. The dust enters the first compartment 11 through the air intake 12. During the rotation of the conveyor belt 17 one of the flap 20 cleans the filter 13, the other flap 20 pushes the dust toward the dirt outlet 15 in order to press it against the wall of the dirt outlet 15. On one side of the partition wall 16 a first opening 21 is provided. On the opposite side of the partition wall 16 a second opening 22 is provided. In the first mode, flaps 20 are in position in which seal the first opening 21 and the second opening 22. In the second mode, flaps 20 pass through the first opening 21 and the second opening 22, transferring the dust from the first compartment 11 into the second compartment 14 of the dust container 10. The first opening 21 is an area between the partition wall 16 and the wall of the dust container 10. The first opening 21 is placed in a vicinity of the dirt outlet 15. The second opening 22 is an area between the partition wall 16 and the wall of the dust container 10 on the opposite side of the dirt outlet 15. The size of the first opening 21 is smaller than the size of the flap 20 to provide the dust compression effect. The flap 20 press the dust collected in the second compartment 14 against the wall of the dirt outlet 15 and next passes through the first opening 21.
  • The present invention provides a dust container in which the dust storage capability was increased thanks to the dust compression unit. The present invention provides a vacuum cleaner in which the cleaning time without necessity of emptying the dust container was also increased.
