A cleaner includes: a suction motor that generates suction force; a dust separation unit that separates dust from air sucked by the suction force; a motor housing that covers the suction motor; a flow guide that surrounds an outer side of the motor housing and guides air discharged from the dust separation unit to the suction motor; and a body that forms an external appearance by surrounding the flow guide and guides air discharged from the suction motor together with the flow guide.

A surface cleaning apparatus is provided wherein at least one of an upstream air plenum that is positioned upstream of the pre-motor filter, and a downstream air plenum that is positioned downstream of the pre-motor filter comprises an end wall spaced from the pre-motor filter and comprises a first portion having an air flow port and a second portion proximate the outer perimeter of the pre-motor filter, wherein the first portion and the second portion meet at a first juncture that extends at an angle to the first portion and the second portion.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.

Provided is a suction cleaning apparatus including an acting device for acting on an area to be cleaned, a suction unit device for generating a suction flow, and a liquid separator, wherein the liquid separator has a chamber having a peripheral wall and a rotor which is arranged in the chamber so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis, wherein at least one outlet opening for liquid is arranged on the peripheral wall, and wherein a holding tank for liquid is provided which is fluidically connected to the at least one outlet opening for liquid.

A cleaner comprising: a housing having the shape of a hollow cylinder, a barrier for dividing the inner space of the housing into an upper space and a lower space; a barrier through-hole provided so as to penetrate the barrier; an intake portion provided on the circumferential surface of the housing; an exhaust portion provided to penetrate the housing; a housing discharge port penetrating the bottom surface of the housing; a cover for closing the housing discharge port; an alien-substance separating portion provided in the lower space so as to provide a channel that guides air introduced to the intake portion to the barrier through-hole; a fan provided to comprise an impeller positioned in the upper space; a rotating shaft to which the impeller is fixed, and a motor for rotating the rotating shaft; and a storage portion provided to be attachable to/detachable from the housing.

The present invention discloses a flat separator. The separator includes a circular base and a plurality of airflow guiding portions, where the airflow guiding portions protrude from or concave with respect to a surface of the circular base, and are evenly distributed along a circumferential direction of the circular base, and the airflow guiding portion is provided with a shell-type airflow guiding channel running through the circular base. The present invention further discloses a cleaner with the separator. The separator is disposed on the top of a dust cup. According to the present invention, a structure of a separation body is changed. This improves dedusting efficiency, realizes air-liquid separation, and avoids entwining by garbage.

A cleaner of the present disclosure comprises: a suction part; a main body comprising a body and a body cover for opening and closing the lower side of the body, the body comprising a cyclone part for separating dust from dust masses suctioned through the suction part and a dust container for storing the dust separated by the cyclone part; a handle part coupled to the main body; a filter part disposed inside the body, and filtering air, separated from the dust in the cyclone part; a movable part capable of moving inside the body along a space between the outside of the filter part and the inner circumferential surface of the body; an operation part disposed at the outside of the main body to move the movable part; and a delivery part penetrating through the main body, and connecting the movable part to the operation part.

A cyclone assembly for a surface cleaning apparatus has a first cyclonic cleaning stage having a first end moveable between a closed position in which a first stage cyclone chamber and a first stage dirt collection chamber are closed and an open position in which the first stage cyclone chamber and the first stage dirt collection chamber are open, and a second cyclonic cleaning stage having a second end moveable between a closed position in which a plurality of second stage cyclone chambers and at least one second stage dirt collection chamber are closed and an open position in which the second stage cyclone chambers and the second stage dirt collection chamber are open.

A cyclone assembly includes a first cyclonic cleaning stage. The first cyclonic cleaning stage includes at least one first stage cyclone having a first stage cyclone chamber. Each first stage cyclone chamber has a height extending between a first stage cyclone chamber air inlet and a first stage cyclone dirt outlet. The cyclone assembly also includes a second cyclonic cleaning stage downstream from the first cyclonic cleaning stage. The second cyclonic cleaning stage includes a plurality of second stage cyclones in parallel. Each of the plurality of second stage cyclones has a height extending between a second stage cyclone chamber air inlet and a second stage cyclone dirt outlet. The second cyclonic cleaning stage has a larger number of second stage cyclones than the first cyclonic cleaning stage, and the height of each second stage cyclone chamber is greater than the height of each first stage cyclone chamber.
