(57) The present invention relates to a cyclone unit (170) and a contaminants-collecting apparatus (100) having the same. The cyclone unit (170) includes a cylindrical body (171) disposed inside a dust-collecting receptacle (110); at least one supporting bracket (175) extending from an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body (171) to an inner circumferential surface of the dust collecting receptacle (110) to support the cylindrical body (171) and to separate the cylindrical body (171) from the inner circumferential surface of the dust-collecting receptacle (110); and an air inlet pipe (173) having one end in fluid communication with the air inlet port (111) of the dust-collecting receptacle (110) and the other end in fluid communication with the cylindrical body (171) in a tangential direction.
