Electric vacuum cleaning apparatus

An electric vacuum cleaning apparatus comprising:

• an electric vacuum cleaner;
• a primary dust container that is provided with the electric vacuum cleaner, separates dust from dust-containing air to be sucked into the electric vacuum cleaner, and accumulates the dust;
• a waste-outlet lid that opens and closes a waste outlet that discharges the dust from the primary dust container;
• a station that can store the electric vacuum cleaner;
• a secondary dust container that is provided with the station and is fluidly connected to the primary dust container through the waste outlet when the electric vacuum cleaner is stored in the station;
• an electric blower that transfers the dust from the primary dust container to the secondary dust container by applying negative pressure to the primary dust container through the secondary dust container;
• and
• a drive source that generates opening drive force and closing drive force of the waste-outlet lid,
• wherein the drive source closes the waste-outlet lid by generating the closing drive force of the waste-outlet lid after the electric blower stops operation of generating the negative pressure for transferring the dust.
