A cleaner capable of separating a dust separator from a main body and separating a dust container from the dust separator by using a button. The cleaner includes: a main body; a dust separator detachably coupled to the main body configured to separate dust contained in air; a dust container detachably coupled to the dust separator; and a button configured to separate the dust separator from the main body and separate the dust container from the dust separator, when the dust separator is separated from the main body.

Embodiments of the present invention described herein relate to vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaners described herein can include a motor, a lid, a collection receptacle, and at least one support member to permit access to the interior of the vacuum cleaner. Also described herein are vacuum cleaners having a motor, a lid, a collection receptacle, and an accessory holder that can be pivotally mounted to the collection receptacle to permit access to the contents thereof.

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.

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 mobile cleaning robot includes a removable filter unit configured to receive a supply airflow generated by a blower and to filter debris from the supply airflow, a filter seat, a filter access opening, a filter access door, and a filter presence system. The filter access door is pivotable between a closed position, wherein the filter access door covers the filter access opening, and an open position, wherein the filter access door is displaced from the filter access opening to permit access to the filter seat. The filter presence system is configured to: permit the filter access door to move from the open position into the closed position when the filter unit is disposed in the filter seat; and prevent the filter access door from being moved into the closed position when the filter unit is not disposed in the filter seat. The filter presence system includes a lift arm movable between an extended position and a retracted position. When the filter access door is open, the lift arm assumes the extended position to receive the filter unit in the filter seat. Moving the filter access door from the open position into the closed position when the filter unit is disposed in the filter seat causes the lift arm to move to the retracted position.

The invention relates to a compact suction station, the structure of which allows it to be arranged in small compartments, such as the skirting board area of kitchen units, said station being protected by a dismountable outer casing in which, in the front part of the assembly, there is an extractable part corresponding to the container drawer, and in which, in the rear part, there is a suction intake for the dirty air from the pipes and the plurality of inlets, and the clean air extraction outlet, the interior of the station consisting of two compartments that communicate with each other, one of them being used for the insertion of the extractable drawer with the container bag and the other to house the motor, the extraction channel and various electronic components.

A vacuum filter bag includes an inlet flange and gasket, a clamp positioned adjacent the inlet flange, and a plug. The clamp is operable to engage the inlet port of a canister vacuum when the filter bag is mounted in the vacuum and keeps the filter bag securely attached to the vacuum inlet. The clamp is also operable to engage the plug and keep the plug in place to close the filter bag inlet after use of the bag. The filter bag reduces user exposure to dust and debris captured with a canister vacuum.

A mobile cleaning robot includes a removable filter unit configured to receive a supply airflow generated by a blower and to filter debris from the supply airflow, a filter seat, a filter access opening, a filter access door, and a filter presence system. The filter access door is pivotable between a closed position, wherein the filter access door covers the filter access opening, and an open position, wherein the filter access door is displaced from the filter access opening to permit access to the filter seat. The filter presence system is configured to: permit the filter access door to move from the open position into the closed position when the filter unit is disposed in the filter seat; and prevent the filter access door from being moved into the closed position when the filter unit is not disposed in the filter seat. The filter presence system includes a lift arm movable between an extended position and a retracted position. When the filter access door is open, the lift arm assumes the extended position to receive the filter unit in the filter seat. Moving the filter access door from the open position into the closed position when the filter unit is disposed in the filter seat causes the lift arm to move to the retracted position.

A filter configured to separate debris from a flow of fluid. The filter includes a housing and a filter media coupled to the housing to form a collection container. The collection container is configured to store debris separated by the filter media from a flow of fluid. The filter further includes an inlet opening that extends through the housing to provide fluid communication into the collection container such that the flow of fluid with the debris can flow into the collection container and a relatively clean flow of fluid exits through the filter media. The filter further includes an attachment member that couples the filter media to the housing.
