a button including a first protrusion;
a detachable cover attached to the housing, the detachable cover including:
a second protrusion; and
an insertion member configured to be inserted into the insertion hole in a first direction; and
a rotating brush configured to rotate so as to push the dust on the cleaning surface toward the passage, the rotating brush being rotatably mounted to the detachable cover,
wherein the button is movably mounted on the housing to selectively position the first protrusion in a movement path in the first direction of the second protrusion,
