ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a soil collection receptacle attaching/detaching apparatus for a cyclone vacuum cleaner, which allows only a soil collection receptacle to be attached to or detached from a cyclone unit that includes a cyclone body as well as the soil collection receptacle, in which the cyclone unit is installed in an accommodation recess provided in a cleaner body, so that the soils in the soil collection receptacle can be conveniently dumped. Also disclosed is a cyclone vacuum cleaner provided with the soil collection receptacle attaching/detaching apparatus. The disclosed inventive apparatus comprises a soil collection receptacle having a sliding groove formed on the bottom surface that confronts the floor of the accommodation recess, a guide member located at the lower end of the soil collection receptacle, wherein the guide member is formed with a pair of guide projections at the opposite sides; and an operation lever adapted to move the guide member up and down, wherein the operation lever comprises a manipulation part and a pair of guide holes that cooperate with the guide projections, wherein the guide member moves up and down as the manipulation part is pulled and pushed, whereby the soil collection receptacle is attached to or detached from the cyclone unit. Because the soil collection receptacle is spaced from the cyclone body as the guide member is lifted, only the soil collection receptacle can be independently separated from the cleaner body.
