A dust collecting device includes a bin, a dust bag assembly, a bin cover, a trigger structure, a detector and a controller. The trigger structure moves between an initial position in which the trigger structure does not trigger the detector and a trigger position in which the trigger structure triggers the detector. When the dust bag assembly is installed in the bin and the bin cover covers the bin, the dust bag assembly and the bin cover respectively pushes the trigger structure, such that the trigger structure moves from the initial position to the trigger position and triggers the detector. The controller is electrically connected with the detector. The controller restricts an operation of the dust collecting device according to an untriggered state of the detector, and releases the operation of the dust collecting device according to a triggered state of the detector.

A vacuum cleaner including a suction inlet, a conduit in fluid communication with the suction inlet, a filter having a valve releasably connected to a filter inlet, the filter configured to collect debris drawn through the suction inlet. The vacuum cleaner further comprising a release mechanism moveable from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the filter is in fluid communication with the conduit to collect debris with the valve being open, and in the second position, the filter is disconnected from the conduit with the valve being closed. Movement of the release mechanism between the first and second positions closes the valve.

A vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle and a dirt separating and collecting system. The dirt separating and collecting system can include a bagless filter module and a bagged filter module that can be interchanged to convert the dirt separating and collecting system between a bagless configuration and a bagged configuration.

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 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 feces collection device for sanitary collection and disposal of fecal matter includes a housing that defines an internal space. An orifice is positioned in a front of the housing. A first grate is positioned in the housing proximate to a back of the housing. A power module and a motor are coupled to the housing and positioned in the internal space. The motor is selectively operationally couplable to the power module. A fan is coupled to the motor and is positioned in the internal space. The motor is positioned to rotate the fan. The fan is configured to pull air and the fecal matter through the orifice into the internal space. The fecal matter is retained in the internal space as the air exits the internal space through the first grate.

The invention discloses a system for vacuuming waste having a motor module and a waste module. The motor module has an open receiving area, motor, battery, vacuum tube receiving area and handle. Multiple bag hooks are spaced along the open receiving area. Disposable bags, having a drawstring within a channel, are placed within the waste module. The drawstring has a length greater than the bag perimeter to form multiple bag loops that extend through gaps in the channel. An insert maintains the bags in an open position. The bag loops are placed on the bag hooks so that when the motor module is opened, the drawstring pulls the bag closed.
