Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a main body accommodating therein an electric blower and a dust-removal driving body; and a filter unit including a frame body where a filter for collecting dust particles is installed and a dust removing plate provided at a downstream side of the filter, one end of the dust removing plate being fixed at the frame body. The other end of the dust removing plate is struck in an air flow direction by means related with driving the dust-removal driving body, thereby transmitting an impact on the frame body with a repulsive force thereof.

Abstract: The refuse processing machine of the invention reduces the bulk of the waste by heating and drying the waste in the waste container by heating means. The grinding and stirring means is operated while heating and drying, and the waste is ground and stirred. The waste is ground into small pieces by the grinding and stirring means, and heat of the heating means is hence smoothly transmitted to the inside of the waste, so that the moisture in the waste may be removed efficiently.

Abstract: Refuse 21 in a refuse container 2 is heated by a heater 16, and the steam generated from the refuse 21 is condensed by a condenser 8. The ambient temperature near the refuse container 2 is detected by a first temperature detector 6, and the output of the heater 16 is controlled by the output of the first temperature detector 6 so that the temperature near the refuse container 2 may be a specific temperature, and the temperature of the steam flowing out from the refuse container 2 into the condenser 8 is detected by a second temperature detector 7 at the condenser 8. When the temperature change of the second temperature detector 7 exceeds a specific value, the drying process is terminated, so that the drying end time can be detected accurately without allowing to scorch.
