The present disclosure provides, in one aspect, a debris collection device for an autonomous cleaning robot includes a cleaning pad portion configured to contact a floor surface. The cleaning pad portion includes a backing and at least one cleaning pad connected to a bottom surface of the backing. The autonomous cleaning robot includes a vacuum bag portion configured to collect at least a portion of debris removed from the floor surface by a vacuum assembly of the autonomous cleaning robot. A volume of the vacuum bag portion is positioned vertically above the cleaning pad portion.

The present disclosure relates to a supporting structure and a cleaning device. The supporting structure includes a top structure and a side structure. The top structure is connected and fixed to a main body of the cleaning device. The side structure includes: a dust bag installation structure, a dust bag being fittingly installed to the dust bag installation structure through an installation assembly on the dust bag; and a support air inlet channel for communicating a dirty air inlet of the cleaning device and a dust bag inlet.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing that supports a suction source, a dirt separation device that has an elongate axis, and a user graspable handle having an elongate axis. A passage member transports dirt-laden air to the dirt separation device. The passage member has an elongate axis. The elongate axis of the passage member and the elongate axis of the user graspable handle lie in a plane. The elongate axis of the dirt collection chamber intersects the plane. During operation, while the housing is supported on a floor surface, the elongate axis of the dirt separation device is parallel with the floor surface.

A cleaning device comprises: a housing having a dust collection chamber; a main body, moveable with respect to the housing, to be coupled to the housing and to be decoupled from the housing, the main body includes a handle; a fixing device, arrangeable in the main body, to couple the main body to the housing to the housing while the main body is moved to a first position with respect to the housing and to decouple the main body from the housing while the main body is moved to a second position with respect to the housing; and a releasing button arrangeable with respect to the main body, and connectable to the fixing device by a wire so that while the release button is connected to the fixing device, the release button is useable to operate the fixing device.

Described herein is a vacuum device. In various embodiments, the vacuum device includes a vacuum housing; a motor housing coupled to the vacuum housing; a motor disposed in the motor housing and configured to apply suction toward the vacuum housing; an inlet nozzle releasably coupled to a side of the vacuum housing and configured to receive a waste material; and a disposable vacuum bag disposed in the vacuum housing and configured to receive the waste material that passes through the inlet nozzle.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing having an elongate axis (H) and supports a suction source, and a dirt separation device having an elongate axis (A). The dirt separation device includes a separator for separating dirt from dirt-laden air, and a dirt collection chamber for receiving separated dirt. The dirt separation device or a part of the dirt separation device is releasably connected to the housing. A passage member that transports dirt-laden air to the dirt separation device has an elongate axis (B). The dirt separation device is pivotally moveable relative to the housing to effect release of the dirt separation device.

A dirt separation device for a surface cleaning apparatus including: a separator for separating dirt from dirt-laden air; an inlet through which dirt-laden air is drawn into the separator; an outlet through which cleaner air exits the separator; a dirt collection chamber for receiving separated dirt; a cover member movable between a first position in which the cover member inhibits access to the dirt collection chamber and a second position in which the cover member permits access to the dirt collection chamber; an actuator device coupled to the cover member for effecting movement of the cover member from the first position to the second position, wherein the actuator device is rotationally movable, or an engagement part operably connected to the actuator device is rotationally movable, to effect movement of the closing member from the first position to the second position.

The present disclosure provides, in one aspect, a debris collection device for an autonomous cleaning robot includes a cleaning pad portion configured to contact a floor surface. The cleaning pad portion includes a backing and at least one cleaning pad connected to a bottom surface of the backing. The autonomous cleaning robot includes a vacuum bag portion configured to collect at least a portion of debris removed from the floor surface by a vacuum assembly of the autonomous cleaning robot. A volume of the vacuum bag portion is positioned vertically above the cleaning pad portion.

A dust collector with a dust collecting bag includes a housing defining a dust collecting chamber; a bracket in the dust collecting chamber; an operating member connectable with the bracket; the dust collecting bag being mounted to a supporting plate; and the bracket being rotatable around a rotating member from a first position to a second position. The housing further includes a connecting member, and the operating member includes a first state and a second state. When the operating member is in the first state, the bracket is located at the first position, and the supporting plate mounted on the bracket is connected with the connecting member. When the operating member is in the second state, the bracket drives the supporting plate to move towards the second position so that the supporting plate is separated from the connecting member, and the supporting plate is separated from the bracket.

A vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner bag having two layers made of filter material, which are joined together on at least three sides to form an inner chamber. An inflow opening is formed on a fourth side between the two layers, at least in regions, into which a connector for connecting to a vacuum cleaner can be inserted.
