A cleaning apparatus including a vacuum cleaner and a docking station is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting chamber in which foreign substances are collected, and a docking station configured to be connected to the dust collecting chamber to remove the foreign substances collected in the dust collecting chamber. The dust collecting chamber is configured to collect foreign substances through centrifugation, and configured to be docked to the docking station, and the docking station includes a suction device configured to suction the foreign substances and air in the dust collecting chamber docked to the docking station.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner system including: a cleaner; a cleaner station; and an imaginary plane including an imaginary suction flow path through line penetrating a suction flow path in a longitudinal direction and an imaginary suction motor axis defined by extending a rotation axis of a suction motor, in which when the cleaner is coupled to the cleaner station, the plane penetrates at least a part of the cleaner station, such that a center of gravity of the cleaner is disposed to pass through a space for maintaining balance of the station, and as a result, it is possible to stably support the cleaner and the station while preventing the cleaner and the station from falling down.

An evacuation station for a mobile floor cleaning robot comprises a stationary base portion having an upper surface and an air treatment assembly that is rotatable from an in-use position to a removable position in which all of the air treatment assembly is removable from the stationary base portion.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station including: a housing; a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for sucking dust in a dust bin of a cleaner; a dust collecting part disposed at an upper side in a gravitational direction of the dust collecting motor; a coupling part including a coupling surface to which the cleaner is coupled; and a fixing unit configured to fix the cleaner when the cleaner is coupled to the coupling part, thereby allowing a user to seal the cleaner without applying a separate force.

A cordless surface cleaning apparatus is disclosed that includes a compact storage configuration to allow the surface cleaning apparatus to have a small, compact footprint relative to an in-use configuration. The storage configuration therefore allows for storage in locations otherwise unsuitable for other surface cleaning apparatuses, e.g., upright vacuum cleaners, and so on. For instance, a surface cleaning apparatus configured in accordance with aspects disclosed herein may have a footprint with an overall width that allows the same to be hidden between an open door and an adjacent wall or other similarly narrow space such as a small closet. Moreover, the surface cleaning apparatus may include an aesthetically pleasing, minimalist design in addition to a small footprint, which allows the surface cleaning apparatus to be placed at a conspicuous location, such as against a wall, without becoming obtrusive or otherwise disruptive to the surrounding environment.

Disclosed herein is the next step in cleaning evolution with my new Automatic Multi-Attachment Changing Station (AMACS). The AMACS System has three separate product lines that combine the best of all worlds, hands free, with computer touch screen integration.

A cleaning apparatus comprises: a robot cleaner including a dust collection canister and a first suction device; and a docking station including a second suction device, which communicates with the dust container to suck air including foreign substances from the dust container in response to the robot cleaner being coupled to the docking station, and a trapping portion to capture the foreign substances included in the sucked air. The robot cleaner includes: a communication unit; and a control unit to control the first suction device in response to the robot cleaner being coupled to the docking station, controlling the communication unit to transmit a control command to the docking station, and periodically changing the suction force of either the first suction device and the second suction device.

Disclosed are a cleaning control method, a cleaning control apparatus, a cleaning robot and a storage medium, which are related to the technical field of smart devices. According to the cleaning control method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning robot acquires a map of a space to be cleaned as a first space map, divides the space to be cleaned into at least one cleaning area based on the first space map, sets a cleaning sequence for the at least one cleaning area, and performs cleaning operations on the at least one cleaning area of the space to be cleaned in sequence according to the cleaning sequence in unit of a cleaning area.

This application discloses a cleaning control method applied to be executed by a cleaning robot used with a base station when cleans an unknown area to be cleaned. The method includes: obtaining an area map representing an area to be cleaned or a sub-area to be cleaned which is an uncleaned area in the area to be cleaned; determining a first cleaning starting point of the area to be cleaned or the sub-area to be cleaned based on the area map, the first cleaning starting point being a point on an edge of the area to be cleaned or the sub-area to be cleaned opposite to the cleaning direction; and performing a cleaning operation on the area to be cleaned or the sub-area to be cleaned from the first cleaning starting point. A device, a cleaning robot and a storage medium are also disclosed.

A support device of the cleaner includes a charging stand body provided with a charging port for charging the cleaner and a plurality of fixing parts disposed to be spaced apart from each other on the charging stand body and each having a fixing groove in which a fixing protrusion provided on the cleaner is accommodated.
