- a guide duct comprising:
- an air inlet with the filter member mounted thereto configured to draw external air;
- a dust collecting portion comprising the dust collecting member;
- and
- a guide portion configured to guide the air passed through the dust collecting portion toward the cooling fan,
- wherein the dust collecting member comprises:
- an air supply hole configured to introduce the air drawn through the air inlet,
- a curved passage collecting dust in the air passed through the supply hole by gravity or friction with an inside surface of the dust collecting member, and
- a discharge hole configured to discharge the air toward the guide portion after the air drawn through the air inlet flows along the curved passage.
