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.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a cyclone provided in the air flow path and a dirt collection chamber external to the cyclone. The cyclone air inlet and the cyclone air outlet are located at the cyclone chamber rear end and the dirt outlet is located at the cyclone chamber front end. When the upper end of the hand vacuum cleaner is positioned above the lower end of the hand vacuum cleaner, the central longitudinally extending axis of the cyclone is oriented generally horizontally, the cyclone air inlet is located at a lower end of the cyclone and the dirt outlet is located at an upper end of the cyclone.

A dual cyclonic stage hand vacuum cleaner has a handle provided on a side of the hand vacuum cleaner.

A dust collector comprises: a first container, a vacuum motor, a first-flow guiding unit, and a second flow-guiding unit; wherein the first container is set with a first tube-body, and the vacuum motor is set on a cover-body; wherein the motor is set with a filter, wherein the first flow-guiding unit and the second flow-guiding unit are respectively detachably combined with a second container and a third container; wherein the second flow-guiding unit is located in the first flow-guiding unit, and the first tube-body sucks in air, so that the dust and debris in the air enter the first container; wherein the air sequentially passes through the first flow-guiding unit and the second flow-guiding unit to form a vortex to make the fine dust fell into the second container and the third container; and the air is finally discharged by the vacuum motor after passes through the filter.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a main body housing a suction motor, the suction motor having a suction motor axis of rotation. A cyclone assembly is removably mounted to the main body. The cyclone assembly comprises a first cyclonic stage and a second cyclonic stage. The first cyclonic stage comprises a first stage cyclone, and the second cyclonic stage comprises a plurality of cyclones in parallel. The first cyclonic stage is provided at a front end of the hand vacuum cleaner, the second cyclonic stage is positioned rearward of the first cyclonic stage, and the suction motor is positioned rearward of the second cyclonic stage. The first stage cyclone axis of rotation, the second stage cyclone axes of rotation and the suction motor axis of rotation are parallel. The first stage cyclone axis of rotation extends through the second cyclonic stage and the suction motor.

A robot cleaner capable of extending the service life of a filter by including a cyclone unit is provided. The robot cleaner includes a main body including wheels configured to rotate about a rotation axis, a brush device provided in the main body to draw in air containing dust, a first chamber, through which the air drawn in through the brush device is introduced, configured to change a traveling direction of the introduced air, and a second chamber connected to the first chamber and including a dust separator separating dust contained in air, and arranged side by side with the first chamber in a direction in which the rotation axis extends.

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.

A cleaner includes: a main body that has an opening; a suction motor that is disposed in the main body and generates suction force; and a filter unit that includes an exhaust filter for filtering air discharged from the suction motor, the filter unit being inserted into the main body through the opening and being separated from the main body, wherein when the filter unit is combined with the main body, a portion of the filter unit protrudes out of the main body, and a portion of the exhaust filter is positioned inside the main body and the other portion of the exhaust filter is positioned outside the main body.
