Abstract

A cleaner holder includes: a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner; a second body protruding to a front side of the first body; and a battery accommodating space recessed downward from an upper surface of the second body to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the battery accommodating space, and a cleaner guide configured to perform guiding such that terminals of the cleaner come into contact with the first charging port is provided in the second body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cleaner holder comprising:
a charging stand body configured to support a handheld cleaner that includes a dust container and that is configured to be held by a user for cleaning an object, the charging stand body comprising a charging port configured to charge a battery mounted in the handheld cleaner based on the charging stand body supporting the handheld cleaner,
wherein the charging stand body comprises:
a first surface that extends in a first direction and provided with the charging port,
a cleaner support that extends in a second direction crossing to the first direction to support the dust container of the handheld cleaner, and
a dust collector provided in the charging stand body and configured to communicate with the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

2. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is parallel to a floor and perpendicular to the first direction.

3. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the dust container and the battery are arranged in a direction parallel to the first direction based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

4. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the dust container has a cylindrical shape, and the cleaner support comprises a rounded surface configured to support the dust container having the cylindrical shape.

5. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the cleaner support is configured to support the dust container in a state in which an extension tube is connected to the handheld cleaner and extends in a direction parallel to the first direction.

6. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the cleaner support is positioned lower than the charging port.

7. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging port is positioned higher than the dust container of the handheld cleaner, based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

8. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of charging ports are provided on the first surface, and
wherein the plurality of charging ports are spaced apart from each other in a third direction crossing the first direction and the second direction.

9. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging stand body comprises:
a first body comprising the dust collector and the first surface, and
a second body that extends from the first body and comprises the cleaner support.

10. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the first surface is configured to face the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

11. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging stand body further comprises a device configured to generate a suction force such that dust in the dust container of the handheld cleaner moves to the dust collector by the suction force.

12. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , further comprising:
a stand that extends downward from the charging stand body and is seated on a floor,
wherein a distance between the cleaner support and the charging port is less than a distance between the cleaner support and the floor.

13. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging stand body further comprises:
an accommodating space configured to receive an extra battery detached from the handheld cleaner; and
a display unit configured to display a residual amount of the extra battery.

14. A cleaner holder comprising:
a charging stand body configured to support a handheld cleaner that includes a battery and a dust container and that is configured to be held by a user for cleaning an object, the dust container having a cylindrical shape;
wherein the charging stand body comprises:
a charging port configured to charge a battery of the handheld cleaner,
a body provided with the charging port,
a cleaner support that extends in a direction crossing a first surface on which the charging port is disposed, the cleaner support having a protruding shape with respect to the first surface to support the dust container of the handheld cleaner, and
a dust collector provided in the body and configured to communicate with the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

15. The cleaner holder of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the cleaner support is parallel to a floor and perpendicular to the first surface.

16. The cleaner holder of claim 14 , wherein the cleaner support comprises a rounded surface configured to support the dust container having the cylindrical shape.

17. The cleaner holder of claim 14 , wherein the charging stand body further comprises:
an accommodating space configured to receive an extra battery detached from the handheld cleaner; and
a display unit configured to display a residual amount of the extra battery.

18. A cleaner holder comprising:
a charging stand body configured to support a cleaner including a battery and a dust container; and
a stand that extends downward from the charging stand body and that is seated on a floor, wherein the charging stand body comprises:
a charging port configured to charge a battery of the cleaner,
a body provided with the charging port,
a cleaner support configured to support the cleaner, and
a dust collector provided in the body and configured to communicate with the dust container of the cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the cleaner,

wherein a distance between the cleaner support and the charging port is less than a distance between the cleaner support and the floor.

19. The cleaner holder of claim 18 , wherein the cleaner support is configured to support the dust container of the cleaner.

20. The cleaner holder of claim 18 , wherein the charging stand body further comprises:
an accommodating space configured to receive an extra battery detached from the cleaner; and
a display unit configured to display a residual amount of the extra battery.
