A vacuum cleaner includes an improved dual-action filter cleaning mechanism using both a rotational flicking action and a vertical shaking action. A debris removal assembly of the vacuum cleaner can include a filter assembly having a first filter and a second filter arranged in a nested configuration, and a filter cleaning mechanism configured to impart a combination of vertical shaking of the first filter and rotational flicking of the second filter. The filter cleaning mechanism can include a camming mechanism configured to simultaneously move the first filter along the axis and rotate the first filter about the axis while the second filter remains stationary.

Provided is a cleaning system including: a robot cleaner including a dust collecting device having a dirt outlet and an outlet door configured to open and close the dirt outlet; and a station including a collecting device configured to generate a suction force to suction dirt of the duct collecting device and a lever device provided with a lever configured to be fixable to the outlet door as the outlet door is being opened to allow the collecting device and the dust collecting device to communicate with each other, and a lever driving source configured to generate power for driving the lever.

An industrial sweeper operates by rolling along a floor to be cleaned, pushed or pulled, including: a brush with a horizontal axis depending on the use position of the industrial sweeper on a horizontal floor, a collecting pan for collecting dirt swept by the brush, the collecting pan mounted and able to pivot between a closed and working position and a wide open position allowing the pan to be emptied, a suction turbine downstream of the collecting pan suctioning dust into the collecting pan when in closed position, two wheels for resting on the floor, an air filter, an unclogging mechanism for unclogging the air filter. The air filter is fixed on the collecting pan and the unclogging mechanism includes an end stop to block travel of the collecting pan in its wide open position, the end stop causing a shock at the end of the collecting pan opening movement.

A method for operating a cleaning system with a plurality of mobile cleaning devices and a base station for the cleaning devices as well as a base station for a plurality of mobile cleaning devices are proposed, wherein the cleaning devices can be emptied by the base station and/or filled with a cleaning agent by the base station simultaneously and/or according to a prioritization. In addition, a filter apparatus for a base station is proposed which has a plurality of connection openings in order to be able to empty a plurality of cleaning devices.

A robotic cleaning system may include a robotic cleaner having a robotic cleaner dust cup and a docking station having a docking station dust cup configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner dust cup. The docking station dust cup may include a first debris collection chamber, a second debris collection chamber fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber, and a filter fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber and the second debris collection chamber.

The invention comprises a vacuum cleaner filter bag comprising a base element, a cover element having an inflow opening and a retaining plate surrounding the inflow opening at least in part is connected to the cover element, and at least four intermediate elements which are arranged between the base element and the cover element and each comprise a passage opening aligned with the inflow opening of the cover element, where the intermediate elements are configured as filter elements and each comprise nonwoven fabric and/or fibrous nonwoven, where the intermediate element directly adjoining the base element is connected to the base element along the outer edge of the intermediate element or along the edge of the passage opening, and where adjacent intermediate elements are connected to each other alternately along the edge of the passage openings and along their outer edge.
