13. The cleaner of claim 12 , further comprising a connecting member which rotatably connects the drum blade with the drum body,
wherein the drum blade comprises a blade connecting portion provided at the one end to allow the connecting member to be rotatably coupled therewith, and
wherein the drum body comprises fixing portions which fix the connecting member at both ends thereof.
14. The cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the drum body comprises a mounting groove on the outer circumference of the drum body, on which the drum blade is rotatably mounted.
15. The cleaner of claim 12 , wherein the drum blade is slanted along a longitudinal direction of the drum body.
16. The cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the drum blade comprises a plurality of blade segments disposed on both sides of the blade air current hole in a longitudinal direction of the drum body.
17. A cleaner comprising:
a case including an inlet to suction air and rubbish on a surface to be cleaned;
a driver provided inside the case and including a motor to generate power;
a drum body provided in the inlet and configured to receive the power from the driver and rotate; and
a drum blade with one end rotatably connected to the drum body and rotatable outward in a radial direction of the drum body, and including
a blade portion extending from the drum body, and
a restricting portion extending from the drum body to form a predetermined angle with the blade portion, and configured to restrict a rotation of the drum blade in the drum body.
18. The cleaner of claim 17 , further comprising a connecting member which rotatably connects the drum blade with the drum body,
wherein the drum blade includes a connecting member coupling hole provided at the one end to allow the connecting member to be rotatably coupled therewith, and
wherein the drum body includes fixing portions which fix the connecting member on an outer circumference of the drum body.
19. The cleaner of claim 17 , wherein the drum body includes a mounting groove on an outer circumference of the drum body, on which the drum blade is rotatably mounted.
20. A drum for a cleaner, comprising:
a drum body having a cylindrical shape;
a drum blade including a blade portion extending outward from an outer circumference of the drum body in a radial direction of the drum body, and a restricting portion extending from the drum body to form a predetermined angle with the blade portion, and configured to restrict a rotation of the drum blade; and
at least one blade air current hole provided in the blade portion of the drum blade in the drum body.
21. The drum of claim 20 , further comprising a connecting member which rotatably couples the drum blade with the drum body.
22. The drum of claim 21 , wherein the drum blade includes a blade coupling portion at one end connected to the drum body to allow the connecting member to be rotatably coupled therewith, and
