A floor cleaning head 10 comprises a body portion 12 and a pivotally attached nozzle 16. The nozzle 16 comprises resiliently flexible front and rear extending elongate blades 33, 34 depending from the underside thereof and a transversely extending suction mouth 20 disposed between the blades 33, 34, and intersected by a steam inlet duct 37 to form frontal and rear portions 20F, 20R. The orientation of the nozzle 16 is altered by a mechanism 23, such that the leading blade 33, 34 raises to allow dust and debris to pass beneath, while the trailing blade 34, 33 lowers to form a working edge against the floor surface, against which, dust, dirty water and debris gathers for removal by the induced airflow of an attached floor cleaner (not shown). The head 10 is thus configured to perform separate vacuuming and steam cleaning operations simultaneously, in a single pass.

A cleaner comprises a body configured to generate a suction force, a handle including a first manipulation part configured to select a function of the cleaner, an extension pipe detachably coupled to the handle and an accessory assembly configured to be coupled to the handle to clean a cleaning surface. The accessory assembly comprises an accessory body, a dusting tool on which a brush is mounted, a crevice tool to clean a gap, and an Upholstery tool to clean fabrics. The upholstery tool is rotatably coupled to the accessory body, the crevice tool is rotatably coupled to the accessory body so that a suction port of the crevice tool is rotatable with respect to the accessory body, and a central axis of the accessory body is provided to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a rotation axis of the crevice tool.

A nozzle includes: a housing having a chamber formed in the housing and a front opening formed on a front side of the housing; a rotation cleaning part accommodated in the chamber and to clean a floor; a partition member provided in the chamber to partition the chamber into two areas and of which at least a portion is in contact with the rotation cleaning part; a driving unit to rotate the rotation cleaning part; and a connection tube connected to the housing and configured to transfer air introduced through the front opening to a dust container of the cleaner, wherein a lower passage formed below the rotation cleaning part and an upper passage formed above the rotation cleaning part are provided in the chamber, and a portion of the partition member is recessed to define the upper passages.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle main body, a rotation cleaning unit rotatably connected to the nozzle main body, the rotation cleaning unit including a rotation plate provided with a mop, and a water supply flow path configured to supply water from a water tank to the rotation cleaning unit, the water supply flow path having an outlet. The rotation plates includes a central shaft, at least one water passage hole spaced apart from the central shaft in a radial direction to receive water directly from the outlet of the water supply flow path, and a water blocking rib located outside of the water passage hole in the radial direction.

A self-propelled vacuum cleaner (1) according to the present disclosure includes a main body (10), a plurality of suction ports (30), a plurality of suction pipes (40), a valve (50), a sensor (80), and a controller (90). The main body (10) is independently movable in an environment. Each of the plurality of suction ports (30) is independently disposed on a bottom surface (11) of the main body (10). The plurality of suction pipes (40) is disposed inside the main body (10), and each of the plurality of suction pipes (40) is connected to the plurality of suction ports (30). The valve (50) is disposed in at least one of the plurality of suction pipes (40). The sensor (80) acquires object information regarding an object in the environment. The controller (90) controls each unit. In addition, the controller (90) controls the valve (50) on the basis of the acquired object information.

A cleaner comprises a body configured to generate a suction force, a handle including a first manipulation part configured to select a function of the cleaner, an extension pipe detachably coupled to the handle and an accessory assembly configured to be coupled to the handle to clean a cleaning surface. The accessory assembly comprises an accessory body, a dusting tool on which a brush is mounted, a crevice tool to clean a gap, and an Upholstery tool to clean fabrics. The upholstery tool is rotatably coupled to the accessory body, the crevice tool is rotatably coupled to the accessory body so that a suction port of the crevice tool is rotatable with respect to the accessory body, and a central axis of the accessory body is provided to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a rotation axis of the crevice tool.

A dust collecting attachment includes a dust suction portion and a main body. The main body has a dust collection passage communicated with the dust suction portion. The dust suction portion has a negative pressure by exerting a suction force to the dust collection passage from a hose. The dust suction portion includes an inner pipe through which a tip tool passes, a first dust suction flow passage, and a second dust suction flow passage. The first dust suction flow passage opens a first suction opening to a side of a workpiece in an outside in a radial direction of the inner pipe and is communicated with the dust collection passage. The second dust suction flow passage opens a second suction opening to an opposite side of the workpiece in the outside in the radial direction of the inner pipe and is communicated with the dust collection passage.

A cleaner including a body configured to generate a suction force, a suction head configured to suction air and dirt while making contact with a cleaning surface, a handle pipe configured for manipulation by a user, a flexible hose connecting the handle pipe to the body, an extension pipe connecting the suction head to the handle pipe, and an accessory assembly coupled to the handle pipe to perform a cleaning in place of the suction head, the accessory assembly comprising an accessory body, a Dusting tool on which a brush is mounted, a Crevice tool to clean a gap, and an Upholstery tool to clean fabrics, the Upholstery tool being rotatably coupled to the accessory body, thereby enhancing the convenience of use and cleaning efficiency.

A surface cleaning apparatus including a cleaning head having a body to sit adjacent a first surface to be cleaned; and a head formation releasably connectable to a connection portion of the body; wherein in a first configuration the head formation is connected to the body such that the head formation sits adjacent the first surface or a second surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning head defines a first footprint, and in a second configuration the head formation is detached from the body and the cleaning head defines a second footprint.

The present application relates to a nozzle for a vacuum cleaner. The nozzle comprises a body (2) and a base (3). The base (3) has a longitudinal axis, and at least two cleaning sides (17, 18) configured to act on a surface in respective cleaning conditions. The base (3) is rotatable around a rotational axis (A-A) that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base to move the base (3) between the respective cleaning conditions.
