Abstract
A method for controlling a cleaner station includes fixing a dust bin of a cleaner to the cleaner station, rotating a door of the cleaner station to open a dust passage hole, a dust collecting step of operating a dust collecting motor of the cleaner station to collect dust in the dust bin, and an additional dust collecting step of maintaining a flow rate of air passing through the dust passage hole while changing a velocity of the air, after the dust collecting step.
Claims10
A method for controlling a cleaner station, the method comprising:
- fixing a dust bin of a cleaner to the cleaner station;
- rotating a door of the cleaner station to open a dust passage hole;
- a dust collecting step of operating a dust collecting motor of the cleaner station to collect dust in the dust bin;
- and
- an additional dust collecting step of maintaining a flow rate of air passing through the dust passage hole while changing a velocity of the air, after the dust collecting step.

A cleaner system, comprising:
- a cleaner including:
- a main body including:
- a suction part having a suction flow path through which air is able to flow;
- and
- a dust separating part having at least one cyclone part;
- and
- a dust bin configured to store dust separated by the dust separating part;
- and
- a cleaner station including:
- a door;
- a dust collecting part configured to collect the dust located inside the dust bin;
- a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for sucking the dust located inside the dust bin into the dust collecting part;
- and
- a housing having the dust collecting part and the dust collecting motor therein along a longitudinal direction,
- wherein in response to the cleaner being coupled to the cleaner station, a longitudinal axis of the dust bin and a longitudinal axis of the cleaner station intersect each other and the door of the cleaner station is opened so that the dust bin communicates with a flow path part of the cleaner station, and
- wherein the door is configured to rotate at least once in a state in which the dust collecting motor is operated to change a flow rate of air discharged from the dust bin.

A cleaner system, comprising:
- a main body including:
- a suction part having a suction flow path through which air is able to flow and a dust separating part having at least one cyclone part;
- and
- a dust bin configured to store dust separated by the dust separating part;
- and
- a cleaner station including:
- a housing;
- a coupling part coupled to the dust bin;
- a dust collecting part configured to collect the dust located inside the dust bin;
- and
- a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for sucking the dust located inside the dust bin into the dust collecting part, the dust collecting part and the dust collecting motor being disposed in the housing,
- wherein the dust bin includes:
- a dust bin main body;
- and
- a discharge cover hingedly coupled to the dust bin main body to open and close an internal space of the dust bin main body,
- wherein the discharge cover is configured to rotate to a predetermined cover opening position when the dust bin is coupled to the coupling part, and
- wherein the discharge cover is configured to rotate to a predetermined flow rate change position in a state in which the dust collecting motor is operated.
