Vacuum cleaner station, vacuum cleaner system, and method for controlling vacuum cleaner station

A cleaner system comprising:

• a cleaner comprising:
• a suction part that defines a suction flow path configured to receive air,
• a suction motor configured to rotate about a rotation axis to thereby generate suction force for suctioning the air through the suction part,
• a cyclone configured to separate dust from the air introduced through the suction part, and
• a dust bin configured to receive the dust separated by the cyclone;
• and
• a cleaner station that is configured to couple to the cleaner and extends in a vertical direction with respect to a ground surface that supports the cleaner station, the vertical direction intersecting a longitudinal axis of the dust bin, the cleaner station comprising:
• a housing that defines a dust collecting space configured to receive the dust from the dust bin of the cleaner,
• a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for suctioning the dust in the dust bin into the dust collecting space, the dust collecting motor and the dust collecting space being arranged in the housing along the vertical direction,
• a dust bin guide surface configured to couple to an outer circumferential surface of the dust bin based on the cleaner being coupled to the cleaner station,
• a guide protrusion configured to guide coupling of the cleaner and the cleaner station, and
• a pair of sidewalls that are disposed laterally outside the dust bin guide surface and inside an exterior surface of the housing, the pair of sidewalls extending forward relative to a surface of the housing that is configured to face a bottom surface of the dust bin,
• wherein the pair of sidewalls extend toward each other and face each other, the pair of sidewalls being disposed at an upper side of the dust bin guide surface,
• wherein at least a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the dust bin is configured to be disposed between the pair of sidewalls based on the cleaner being coupled to the cleaner station,
• wherein the cleaner station is configured to, based on the cleaner being coupled to the cleaner station, accommodate at least a portion of the cleaner such that the guide protrusion is disposed above the dust bin in the vertical direction,
• wherein a longitudinal axis of the dust collecting motor intersects the longitudinal axis of the dust bin, and
• wherein the cleaner is configured to move relative to the cleaner station in a first direction intersecting a longitudinal axis of the suction part and then to move in a second direction different from the first direction to thereby couple to the cleaner station.
