Vacuum cleaner
First Claim
1. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
- a body defining an outer appearance thereof;
a blower fan unit comprising a blower fan and a motor to generate a suction force in the body;
an inner case surrounding the blower fan unit and comprising an inner flow path formed therein;
an outer case surrounding the inner case; and
a discharge flow path formed between the inner case and the outer case to communicate with the inner flow path, wherein the discharge flow path comprises;
a circulation flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide circulation of air discharged from the blower fan unit, and a bent flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide the air discharged from the blower fan unit such that the air is bent a number of times in the bent flow path.

Abstract
A vacuum cleaner having a discharge flow path, which reduces noise generated due to resistance of the flow path, and by a motor. The vacuum cleaner includes a body, a blower fan unit including a blower fan and a motor to generate suction force in the body, an inner case surrounding the blower fan unit and having an inner flow path formed therein, an outer case surrounding the inner case, and a discharge flow path formed between the inner case and the outer case to communicate with the inner flow path. The discharge flow path including a circulation flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide air discharged from the blower fan unit, and a bent flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide the air discharged from the blower fan unit, the air is thereby bent a number of times in the bent flow path.

9. A vacuum cleaner comprising:
-
a blower fan unit comprising a blower fan and a motor to generate a suction force in the vacuum cleaner;
an inner case which surrounds the blower fan unit and comprises an inner flow path defined between the inner case and the motor, to circulate air discharged radially from the blower fan unit; and
an outer case which surrounds the inner case, wherein a discharge flow path is formed between the inner case and the outer case, to discharge air to an outside of the vacuum cleaner. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
