Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2433540A2] A wet type dust collecting apparatus of a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The wet type dust collecting apparatus includes a dust bin having at least two dust collecting areas, each of which at least one water inflow holes is formed, and a water distribution passage part to connect the water inflow holes in communication with each other; and a dust bin cover coupled to the dust bin and having a sealing member to open and close up at least one of the water inflow holes. Accordingly, a user can simultaneously fill the entire of the plurality of dust collecting areas with water by filling any one of the dust collecting areas with water. Further, in operation of the vacuum cleaner, the sealing member closes up at least one of the water inflow holes to prevent the water from being moved between the dust collecting areas. According to this, a dust separating efficiency is prevented from being deteriorated due to the movement of water in operation of the vacuum cleaner, and an exhaust runs a lot smoother. Also, since the water filled in the dust bin strongly collects separated dust while whirling, the dust separating efficiency is enhanced.
