A dust collecting device for a power tool, the dust collecting device having a lamella filter and a rotatable shaft. In the collecting container of the dust collecting device, the lamellae of the filter can be set in an axial movement by a rotary movement of the shaft which is interrupted when the filter lamellae arrive in the region of release of the shaft. The release enables the lamellae to return to their original position, the return of the lamellae to this original position causing the lamellae to vibrate, which leads to the filter being cleaned. A power tool which has a proposed dust collecting device, as well as a method for operating a power tool and for cleaning a filter is also provided.

A vacuum cleaner comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis. A motor-fan assembly is mounted in the housing and arranged to generate an airflow along an airflow path from a dirty air inlet to an air exhaust. A retractable nozzle defines the dirty air inlet and is moveably mounted on the housing. At least a portion of the retractable nozzle is arranged to move between a retracted configuration within the housing and a deployed configuration outside the housing. The portion of the retractable nozzle in the retracted configuration is aligned in a direction along the longitudinal axis and the portion of the retractable nozzle in the deployed configuration is aligned in a direction across the longitudinal axis.

A debris bin includes a box body, a debris suction opening, and a debris outlet opening. The box body has an inner cavity. The debris suction opening is defined on the box body and communicates with the inner cavity of the box body. The debris outlet opening is defined on the box body and communicates with the inner cavity of the box body. The inner cavity is provided with a supporting surface for supporting debris. The supporting surface is inclined, and a top edge of the supporting surface and a bottom edge of the supporting surface are arranged parallel to each other and horizontally. The debris outlet opening is located at a side of the bottom edge of the supporting surface.

Disclosed is a cleaning module for cleaning a storage apparatus. The cleaning module includes a housing that defines an inner space, a suction mechanism that is installed in the inner space and that forms an air flow introduced into the inner space, and an exhaust part that discharges the air flow introduced into the inner space by the suction mechanism to the outside of the housing.

Provided is an autonomous mobile cleaner including a main body, a suction unit having a handle and configured to suck up surrounding foreign material, an air pipe configured to connect the main body and the suction unit and guide the foreign material into the main body, at least one driving wheel installed below the main body, a driving unit configured to drive the driving wheel by operating a driving motor, a wheel sensor configured to sense rotation of the driving wheel, and a controller configured to control the movement of the main body through the driving unit on the basis of the rotation of the driving wheel sensed by the wheel sensor.

A cleaner includes: a main body that forms an external shape; a dust container that is separably combined with the main body and stores dust separated from air; a dust container cover that is configured to open and close the dust container; a handle unit that is disposed behind the dust container; and an operating member that is configured to provide operation force to the dust container cover by moving in a first direction and to release a holding mechanism for preventing separation of the dust container from the main body by moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner main body, a suction device, a suction motor, and a dust container. The dust container includes a dust collection body configured to contain dust, an opening/closing portion rotatably coupled to the dust collection body and configured to rotate to thereby open and close at least a portion of the dust collection body, and an operation portion connected to the dust collection body and configured to rotate in both a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The opening/closing portion is configured to rotate based on the operation portion rotating in the first direction, and configured to rotate based on the operation portion rotating in the second direction.

A cleaner is disclosed. The cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a winding member. The winding member is rotated in the cleaner to wind up thereon long and thin trash that can be compressed, such as animal hair, fibers, etc., which is introduced in a dust accommodation container. An attachable/detachable frame is accommodated in the cleaner to be detachable. The winding member has a base which has the largest diameter and is inserted and coupled to a winding member coupling portion of the attachable/detachable frame. Trash such as hair, fibers, etc. wound on the winding member is placed on a coupling plate that is located above the winding member coupling portion. Therefore, when the attachable/detachable frame is detached, the trash in the form of hair or fibers wound on the winding member is also discharged out of the dust accommodation frame along with the attachable/detachable frame. Accordingly, user convenience can be improved.

A cleaner is disclosed. A dust storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a winding member. The winding member rotates in the dust storage container to wind debris having a shape which is thin, long, and compressible, such as fur of an animal or fiber introduced into the dust storage container. Accordingly, a space occupied by the debris in the form of fur or fiber in the dust storage container is reduced. Therefore, the dust storage container can receive a large amount of debris so as to increase an operable time of the cleaner. Consequently, the convenience of a user can be improved.

A hand vacuum cleaner has an upper end, a lower end, an air flow passage, a main body with a handle, an air treatment chamber and a suction motor. The air treatment chamber has an air outlet, the air outlet comprising a rigid porous member and a filter media that is removably positionable in the rigid porous member. The air treatment chamber is moveable to an open position in which the air treatment chamber is emptyable, and the rigid porous member is moveable within the air treatment chamber to an open position in which the filter media is removable.
