Provided is a cleaner. The cleaner includes a housing provided with a dust container at a lower side thereof having a suction opening, a filter part configured to filter dust from air suctioned through the suction opening, the filter being spaced apart from an inner circumferential surface of the housing, a movable part configured to be elevated between a first position and a second position in a space between the outside of the filter part and the inner circumferential surface of the housing, a manipulation part of which at least a portion is exposed to outside of the housing, the manipulation part being elevated by user's manipulation, and a transfer unit of which at least a portion is accommodated in the housing, the transfer unit being configured to connect the manipulation part to the movable part. The dust container has an elevation groove, which is recessed outward from an inner surface of the dust container, in a vertical direction.

A cleaner having a housing that includes a suction opening, a cyclone part configured to separate dust from air suctioned through the suction opening, and a dust bin configured to store dust separated from air by the cyclone part, a guide fixed in position in the housing, a frame configured to be movable to a compression standby position and a dust compression position for compressing dust in the dust bin in the housing and brought into contact with the guide at the compression standby position, a first guide part provided at the frame, and a second guide part provided at the guide and coupled to the first guide part at the compression standby position of the frame, wherein one of the first guide part and the second guide part is a projection and the other is a recess in which the projection is accommodated.

A cleaner includes a housing including a suction opening, a cyclone part configured to separate air and dust, and a dust bin configured to store dust separated from air in the cyclone part and a frame disposed to surround an axis of a cyclone flow of the cyclone part in the housing and configured to be movable between a first position and a second position in the housing, wherein the frame includes a first body disposed to face the suction opening at the first position and disposed to be inclined with respect to the axis of the cyclone flow, and an upper end of the first body is located to be the same as or higher than an upper end of the suction opening.

A vacuum cleaner, including a cleaner body; and a dust collector provided in the cleaner body, wherein the dust collector includes a first cyclone provided within an outer case to filter foreign matter and dust from air introduced into the dust collector; a second cyclone accommodated within the first cyclone to separate fine dust from the air introduced into the first cyclone; a screw provided at a lower side of and surrounding the first cyclone, and having at least one vane spirally extended along a flow direction of the air introduced into the outer case to induce the inflow of foreign matter and dust filtered by the first cyclone into a first storage section.

A system for compacting debris collected within a robotic vacuum debris container to allow more space for incoming debris. The volume of collected debris is reduced by pressure plates pressing the debris against surfaces so that the debris container may hold a greater mass of debris. The system allows robotic vacuums to operate for longer periods of time before requiring maintenance by a user to empty the debris container.

A dust collecting apparatus includes a dust separation unit to separate dust from suctioned air; a dust storage unit to store the dust separated in the dust separation unit; a pressing member to compress the dust stored in the dust storage unit, and having a pressing plate support part, and a pressing plate supported by the pressing plate support part; a fixing member disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the dust storage unit and the pressing plate support part; and a path formed by a part of the fixing member, located between the pressing plate support part and the inner circumferential surface of the dust storage unit, and through which the air between the pressing plate and the fixing member passes, wherein one or more holes through which the air between the pressing plate and the fixing member passes are formed at the pressing plate.
