Patent ID: 8657912

Claim:
A dust collecting structure for an apparatus which is used in the apparatus having a suction fan for sucking air, the dust collecting structure comprising: a plurality of first vortex generating members which are disposed in a case of the apparatus and form a plurality of suction inlets; and a plurality of second vortex generating members which are disposed in an inner direction of the case and are spaced apart from the plurality of suction inlets, wherein each of the plurality of first vortex generating members projects inside the case and allows the air, which is sucked through the suction inlets by the suction fan, to generate a first vortex near a rear end of at least one of the plurality of first vortex generating members, wherein each of the plurality of second vortex generating members divides the air into air streams and allows the divided air streams to generate a second vortex near a rear end of at least one of the plurality of second vortex generating members, and wherein the plurality of first and second vortex generating members are formed as a single body with the case.
