The present disclosure concerns the field of vacuum cleaners and, in particular, those which have a filter bag for collecting air entrained detritus. The invention relates especially to a vacuum cleaner which reduces the exposure to the operator of dust and contaminated matter collected during cleaning when replacing the filter bag. The invention provides a vacuum cleaner comprising a suction drive unit in fluid communication with a vacuum chamber for accommodating a filter cartridge, the vacuum chamber itself being fed by a fluid inlet port in communication with a nozzle via which air is drawn into the vacuum chamber when the suction drive unit is in operation, wherein the filter cartridge comprises a gas-porous membrane including wall portions which define a filter interior, the cartridge having an airflow inlet at one end through which air-entrained dirt enters the filter, with dirt retained in the interior and air passing through the gas-porous membrane, wherein the chamber is configurable between open and closed configurations, so that in the closed configuration the cartridge filter is enclosed and constrained within the vacuum chamber with the cartridge inlet disposed so as to be fed by the fluid inlet port, and in the open configuration the constraint is at least partially removed so that the cartridge is free to be removed from the chamber by travel in a removal direction.

A surface cleaning apparatus having an air flow path; a suction motor positioned in the air flow path and an air treatment chamber having a door that is moveable between an operating position and an open position. A filter holder is rotational mounted in the air treatment chamber between an operating position and a filter removal position. A filter media is removably positionable in the filter holder and is removable from the filter holder when the filter holder is in the filter removal position.

A cyclonic, dust-collecting unit includes: one or more air swirling members, which swirl(s) air; a dust cap, into which air that has passed through the swirling member(s) flows; and a filter unit, through which air that flows out of the dust cap passes. The filter unit includes: a prefilter; a sound-absorbing member, through which air that has passed through the prefilter flows; and a post filter, through which air that has passed through the sound-absorbing member flows.

A portable vacuum cleaner has an air treatment chamber, a pre-motor filter positioned downstream from the air treatment chamber, a body including a suction motor, the suction motor is positioned in the air flow passage downstream from the pre-motor filter. A handle is provided on the body. The pre-motor filter has a first end, an axially spaced apart second end, a sidewall extends between the first end of the pre-motor filter and the axially spaced apart second end, wherein the sidewall comprises a filter material surrounding an open interior providing a filtered air flow path, the axially spaced apart second end is open whereby, after passing through the sidewall, air enters the filtered air flow path and passes through the open axially spaced apart second end. The longitudinal air treatment chamber axis and the motor axis extend in the same direction and each extend through the open interior.

A dust collector includes a filter frame, a cartridge filter, an end cap, and a cover. The filter frame is provided with a center column. The end cap is provided with a bottom plate, a plurality of sliding slots, a plurality of first side walls, a plurality of baffles extending from the first side walls, and a plurality of clamping members. The cover is provided with a plurality of protruding members and a plurality of extending members. The filter frame includes an accommodating space. The bottom plate is provided with a plurality of through openings that run through the bottom plate. The through openings are disposed opposite to the baffles and are configured to communicate between the sliding slots and the accommodating space. The extending members extend into the through openings. The first side walls are connected between the bottom plate and the baffles.

The present invention relates to the field of machines for cleaning, particularly vacuum cleaning devices. There is disclosed a filter cartridge for a vacuum cleaner comprising first and second opposite end walls, a side wall or walls which extend between the end walls so as to define an enclosure which surrounds a filter interior, wherein one or more of the walls comprises filter membrane material, the cartridge having an opening provided through the first end wall for receiving air-entrained detritus into the interior, the opening being defined by a rigid support structure which spans and supports the first end wall of the cartridge. The cartridge typically includes a non-return valve which closes when suction is removed so as to help prevent collected detritus escaping from the filter cartridge interior. The valve may comprise a conical valve with flexible facets, or a cantilever flap.

A working trolley with built-in dust suction system includes a dust suction system and a trolley. Through directly assembling the dust suction system with the trolley, useless structures in the dust suction system is eliminated, so that the dust suction system can be assembled with the trolley with a more simplified structure. Through directly assembling the dust suction system with the trolley, the trolley breaks the old and stereotyped way of using, and the trolley is no longer just a carrying tool of a vacuum cleaner, thereby greatly increasing the effectiveness of usage of the trolley. On the other hand, the present invention enables a dust storage bucket of the dust suction system to have a feature of being independently dismountable, so that an operator does not need to dismount other components when replacing the dust storage bucket, thereby facilitating operation for the operator.

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.

A vacuum cleaner includes a suctioning unit, a main body including a cyclone unit for separating dust from the air suctioned through the suctioning unit, a body forming a dust container for storing the dust separated by the cyclone unit, and a body cover for opening and closing the lower side of the body. A filter unit is arranged in the body for filtering air. An actuating unit is configured to move in the body along a space between the outside of the filter unit and the inner circumferential surface of the body.

The disclosure relates to a handheld vacuum cleaner, comprising: a handle body having a first coupling part formed on one side in the longitudinal direction; a drive part body having a second coupling part formed on one side thereof so as to be detachably coupled to the first coupling part, a third coupling part formed on the other side, and a motor provided therein; and a filtration and discharge body having a first hollow part and a second hollow part, respectively formed at one side and the other side so as to communicate with each other, a dust receiving part formed between the first hollow part and the second hollow part so as to communicate with the first hollow part and the second hollow part, and a fourth coupling part formed on the inner surface of the first hollow part so as to be detachably coupled to the third coupling part. Therefore, each component can be completely disassembled and thus the volume can be greatly reduced, resulting in convenience in carrying or storage in a bag or the like, only the damaged components can be easily replaced at the time of partial component damage, thus reducing maintenance costs, and components of different capacity or shape can be replaced and used in combination depending on the purpose of use.
