A filter element for a dirt suction device is provided, with a filter frame, on which a filter medium is attached, wherein on the filter frame, a continuous seal is arranged, the inner circumferential surface of which is arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the filter frame and has a section that radially protrudes over the filter frame, wherein a groove is arranged on a front side of the protruding section of the seal, and that a sealing surface is arranged on the opposite front side of the protruding section of the seal.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone chamber provided in an air flow path. The cyclone chamber has a screen assembly with an outlet section, a longitudinally spaced apart distal section and a longitudinally extending porous section. The outlet section includes a non-porous member extending longitudinally inwardly an outlet section length from an outlet end of the outlet section to a longitudinally inwardly positioned inlet end of the outlet section. The outlet end of the outlet section overlies a cyclone air outlet. The porous section extends longitudinally inwardly from an outlet end of the porous section that is located at the inlet end of the outlet section. The distal section has a distal section length in the longitudinal direction that is greater than the cyclone outlet port length.

A cyclone assembly for a surface cleaning apparatus has two cyclonic stages wherein the second cyclonic cleaning stage comprises a second stage dirt collection region and at least a portion of the second stage dirt collection region is positioned longitudinally above and overlying a first stage cyclone chamber.

The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, and more particularly to a vacuum cleaner including a case detachably provided at a cleaner body to accommodate dust and of which an upper surface and a lower surface are opened; a cyclone provided inside the case to separate the dust; an upper cover configured to shield the upper surface of the case and having a suction port through which the dust is suctioned and a discharge port through which air separated from the dust is discharged; an upper locker rotatably installed at an outer surface of the case and configured to selectively restrict the upper cover; a lower cover configured to shield the lower surface of the case; and a lower locker slidably installed at the outer surface of the case and configured to selectively push and open the lower cover.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a wheel unit and a controller controlling driving of the wheel unit a suction unit disposed in the cleaner body, the suction unit sucking air containing dust and a sensing unit disposed at the front of the cleaner body in which the suction unit is disposed, wherein the sensing unit includes a first sensing part disposed respectively inclined with respect to side and top surfaces at an upper corner portion of the cleaner body to simultaneously photograph front and upper parts of the cleaner body.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a dust container accommodation part formed to be recessed toward the front from the rear thereof; a suction unit mounted in the cleaner body to suck air containing dust; a dust container accommodated in the dust container accommodation part, the dust container collecting dust filtered from sucked air; and an exhaust port formed at an end portion of one rear side of the cleaner body, which surrounds the dust container accommodation part, to discharge filtered air to the outside, the exhaust port disposed along the height direction of the cleaner body.

A robot cleaner comprising: a first housing including a controller and a driving wheel of which driving is controlled by the controller; a second housing provided at one side of the first housing, the second housing having a brush module or mop module mounted thereto; a front bumper provided at a front portion of the second housing, the front bumper configured to be movable to the inside of the second housing when the front bumper is in contact with an obstacle; at least one sensing means provided at the inside of the front bumper to sense a movement of the front bumper to the inside of the second housing; side bumpers respectively provided at left and right side portions of the second housing, the side bumpers each being configured to movable to the inside of the second housing when the side bumper is in contact with an obstacle; and a link member provided at the inside of the side bumper to allow the side bumper and the front bumper to interlock with each other such that, when the side bumper is moved to the inside of the second housing, at least one portion of the front bumper is moved together with the side bumper to the inside of the second housing.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a wheel unit and a controller controlling driving of the wheel unit; a suction unit disposed to protrude from the cleaner body, the suction unit sucking air containing dust; and a sensing unit disposed at the front of the cleaner body in which the suction unit is disposed, wherein at least one portion of the sensing unit is disposed to overlap with the suction unit in the top-bottom direction of the cleaner body.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; a suction unit mounted in the cleaner body to suck air containing dust; a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, the dust container filtering and collecting dust from sucked air; and a dust container cover including a hinge part rotatably coupled to the cleaner body, the dust container cover detachably coupled to the dust container to cover a top surface of the dust container.

A autonomous cleaner includes: a cleaner body including a wheel unit for autonomous traveling; a suction unit provided to protrude from one side of the cleaner body, the suction unit sucking air containing dust; a sensing unit provided at the one side of the cleaner body; a dust container accommodated in a dust container accommodation part formed at the other side of the cleaner body, the dust container collecting dust filtered from sucked air; and a dust container cover hinge-coupled to the cleaner body to be rotatable, the dust container cover being provided to cover a top surface of the dust container when the dust container cover is coupled to the dust container.
