A vacuum cleaner includes a motor housing, a motor and fan assembly in communication with the motor housing, a housing forming a receptacle in fluid communication with the motor housing, and a filter assembly removably insertable into the receptacle. The filter assembly includes a filter supporting a filter. The filter assembly further includes a seal and a lock member movable relative to the tray between a locked position and an unlocked position. Movement of the lock member to the locked position engages the seal with the housing when the filter assembly is inserted in the receptacle.

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.

An autonomous cleaning device is provided. The autonomous cleaning device includes: a device body; and a drive module, a cleaning module and a sensing module, wherein the drive module, the cleaning module and the sensing module are detachably assembled to the device body, respectively.

The present disclosure relates to an autonomous cleaning device and a wind path structure for use in the autonomous cleaning device. The wind path structure includes: a cleaning component for cleaning cleaned objects, a cleaned object storage container for storing the cleaned objects, and a power component for generating a wind, the cleaning component, the cleaned object storage container, and the power component being arranged sequentially in a moving direction of the autonomous cleaning device; a first-level wind duct located between the cleaning component and the cleaned object storage container, wherein the first-level wind duct is coupled with the power component such that the cleaned objects are delivered to the cleaned object storage container by the wind generated by the power component; and a second-level wind duct located between the cleaned object storage container and the power component, wherein the second-level wind duct has a bell-mouth shape and includes an inner wall, the inner wall including an arc-shaped segment facing toward the wind coming from the cleaned object storage container to direct the wind to an air inlet of the power component.

Vacuum cleaners to be mounted in a vehicle are disclosed. Some vacuum cleaners include a collector module configured to collect debris and a motor/impeller unit connected to the collector module. The collector module includes an air inlet and an air exhaust opening, and the motor/impeller unit is configured to draw air through the collector module from the air inlet to the exhaust opening. A hose storage module is connected to the air inlet, and a vacuum hose is stored inside the hose storage module.

A pneumatic vacuum, cleaner includes an external body shell having an internal chamber defined therein and a dustbin carried within the internal chamber of the external body shell. The cleaner also includes an impeller housing positioned below the dustbin and having an inlet coupled to the dustbin. In addition, the cleaner includes an impeller within the impeller housing and is configured to pressurize air exiting the impeller housing. A manifold is mounted to the impeller housing and includes a plurality of air nozzles configured to direct air downward and away from the manifold to entrain debris into the air and simultaneously use the pressurized air to lift the cleaner. A concentric passageway is formed adjacent an inside surface of the external body shell and is configured to recirculate the pressurized air from the plurality of air nozzles back to the dustbin and the impeller housing via the concentric passageway.

A vacuum cleaner comprises a cleaner main body configured to generate suction power; a suction unit configured to suck up dust and foreign substances by the suction power; a connection pipe configured to transfer the sucked dust and foreign substances; a connection unit comprising a connection pipe accommodator configured to accommodate an end portion of the connection pipe, a separation controller configured to separate the accommodated end portion of the connection pipe from the connection pipe accommodator, and a space configured to place the separation controller therein; and a power cable configured to supply electric power from the cleaner main body to the suction unit, and disposed to pass through the space in which the separation controller of the connection unit is provided.

A clutch device for an upright vacuum cleaner and an upright vacuum cleaner having the same are provided. The clutch device is disposed between an electric motor assembly and a machine body assembly of the upright vacuum cleaner, the electric motor assembly includes an electric motor housing and an electric motor, the machine body assembly includes a machine body and a bridging member rotatably connected to the electric motor housing. The clutch device includes a slide chute; and a triggering member having a first end provided with a sliding column slidaby fitted in the slide chute and a second end provided with a toggling rod configured to stir the electric motor to move. When the bridging member drives the slide chute to move, the sliding column slides along the slide chute to rotate the triggering member. When the triggering member rotates, the toggling rod stirs the electric motor to rotate.

A latch mechanism has two pieces that mount in an opening on the lid of a conventional vacuum cleaner. A stationary part is held in place by a hooked end that fits over a pivot edge on the lid, and by a retaining surface that engages a retaining edge on the lid. The other part is a pivoting latch that hooks onto the same pivot edge. In a latched position, an engagement surface on a deflectable arm fits over a latching surface on the stationary part, holding a moving part in position with a latching part beneath a bead on the tank. A tab surface can be used to force the deflectable arm to deflect over the latching part and simultaneously move the latching part clear of the bead.

A vacuum cleaner comprising: a housing; a fan; a dirt collection chamber having an opening for emptying dirt from the dirt collection chamber; and a cover movable between a closed position, in which the cover seals the opening, and an open position, wherein the vacuum cleaner is configured to operate: in a suction mode in which the fan generates a suction airflow from an air inlet to an air outlet; and in a blow mode in which the fan generates a blowing airflow from the air outlet to the opening when cover is in the open position.
