DUST-COLLECTING DEVICE AND ELECTRIC VACUUM CLEANER EQUIPPED WITH DUST COLLECTING DEVICE

摘要

The dust-collecting device (6) is provided with: a freely rotating operating member (14) that is operable from outside the dust-collecting device; a dust-removing member (13) for removing dust adhering to the upper filter (12); a connecting member (34) for connecting the operating member (14) with the dust-removing member (13); and an elastic body (36) for energizing the dust-removing member (13) towards the upper filter (12). The dust-collecting device is also configured to remove the dust on the upper filter (12) by moving the dust-removing member (13) back and forth in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the upper filter (12). Impact is thereby repeatedly applied on the upper filter (12) by the rotation of the operating member (14) and a large dust-removing effect is obtained even with a small number of rotations of the operating member (14).
