Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2708172A1] An object of this invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner having a dust collection section that a user can easily perform internal maintenance of. To achieve the above object, a vacuum cleaner includes a body containing a motor-driven blower that generates a suction force, and a cyclone dust collection section that is detachable from the body. The cyclone dust collection section includes, as respective parts, a plurality of centrifugal separation sections that separate air and dust, a communication section that allows the adjacent centrifugal separation sections to communicate, and a dust collection chamber that accumulates dust that was separated by the centrifugal separation section. The cyclone dust collection section is disassemblable into the dust collection chamber, the centrifugal separation sections, and the communication section, respectively. By adopting this configuration, since the cyclone dust collection section can be disassembled into respective sections thereof, maintenance of the inside of the dust collection section can be performed with ease.
