Patent attributes
A dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner has a first cyclone dust collecting part and a second cyclone dust collecting part that are arranged substantially parallel with respect to an air inflow opening of a vacuum cleaner main body, and may be mirror images of each other. The first cyclone dust collecting part comprises a first suction opening and a first discharge opening, and the second cyclone dust collecting part comprises a second suction opening and a second discharge opening. The first and second suction openings are connected with the air inflow opening of the vacuum cleaner main body, and the first and second discharge openings are connected with a vacuum suction chamber of the vacuum cleaner main body. Accordingly, a dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner can be realized, having an advanced suction capability and dust separation capability.
