The present disclosure relates to a cleaner which includes: a dustbin having a slit formed on one side thereof; a compression lever housing disposed on an outside of the slit and mounted to the dustbin; a compression plate disposed on an inside of the dustbin and configured to ascend in a direction in which the slit extends; and a sealer disposed in the compression lever housing, coming in close contact with the slit, and extending along the slit. Therefore, the cleaner according to the present disclosure may prevent a problem that is likely to occur during an operation of the compression lever assembly because of trapped dust, and can be maintained in a cleaner state as the user may easily separate the cleaner by assemblies to sterilize the parts.

A docking station for a vacuum cleaner may include a receptacle configured to engage at least a portion of the vacuum cleaner such that, in response to engaging the receptacle, a vacuum cleaner flow path extending within the vacuum cleaner is transitioned from a cleaning flow path to an evacuation flow path, a suction motor of the vacuum cleaner being configured to urge air along the vacuum cleaner flow path and a docking station dust cup configured to receive debris from a vacuum cleaner dust cup of the vacuum cleaner.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a first flexible electrified air flow conduit having an air inlet end that is electrified.

A cyclone dust collecting apparatus and a cleaner having the same include a grille unit including an introduction pipe communicating with the suction port and adapted to guide the air into the main cyclone chamber, and a grille body detachably provided to the introduction pipe and allowing the air to be discharged from the main cyclone chamber after dust particles in the air having a size greater than or equal to a certain size is filtered out. With this configuration, the spatial utilization of the cyclone structure may be facilitated, and visualization of the dust collection chamber may allow a user to gain satisfaction from cleaning operation.

The dust collector, that may be used in vacuum cleaner, includes: a primary cyclone unit separating dust from air introduced from outside the dust collector; and a secondary cyclone unit defining axial cyclone bodies separating fine dust from air introduced in an axial direction. The secondary cyclone unit includes casings having outer walls around hollow portions; and a fine dust separating member disposed on the casings to form the axial cyclones. The fine dust separating member includes vortex finders disposed in the casings; band portions enclosing an outer circumferential surface of the vortex finders at a position spaced from the vortex finders, and having a shape corresponding to the casings so as to form the axial cyclones together with the casings; and guide vanes disposed between the vortex finders and the band portions and extending in a spiral direction to induce a rotational flow of air.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a surface cleaning head having a dirty air inlet and an upper section mount and an upper portion moveably mounted to the upper section. The upper portion includes a wand. A portable surface cleaning unit is removably mounted to the upper portion. An air flow path extends from the dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and includes an upstream portion comprising the wand and a flexible air flow conduit downstream of the wand. Each of the wand and the portable cleaning unit can be separately removable from the upper section mount.

A buckle mechanism of a dust collecting barrel of a two-stage dust collector is provided. The buckle mechanism is disposed on the two-stage dust collector, and includes a first retaining seat and a second retaining seat corresponding to one side of the dust collector, and a support unit is disposed on a barrel cover. The first retaining seat is pivotally connected with a linking unit. One end of the linking unit is connected to the support unit. The second retaining seat is pivotally connected with a control unit. The linking unit is driven to actuate through two connecting members. The control unit drives the linking unit to actuate. By the lever principle, the linking unit drives the barrel cover to move up and down so as to assemble and disassemble the dust collecting barrel quickly and conveniently.

A vacuum cleaner that includes a suction source, a main body, a dirt separator removably coupled to the main body, a pre-motor filter in contacting engagement with the main body in a vertically orientated plane, and a post-motor filter in contacting engagement with the main body along the vertically orientated plane.

A dust collector includes a primary cyclone unit to separate dust from air introduced from outside dust collector and a secondary cyclone unit includes axial cyclones which separate fine dust from air introduced in an axial direction. The secondary cyclone unit includes a first group of axial cyclones disposed along a circumference of a first circle so as to contact an inner circumferential surface of an inner case, and formed to be partially spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the inner case to form first passages therebetween; and a second group of axial cyclones disposed to contact each other along a circumference of a second circle concentric with the first circle and smaller than the first circle, and formed to contact some of the first group of axial cyclones and to be spaced apart from others of the first group axial cyclones to form second passages therebetween.

A vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum body assembly. The vacuum body assembly includes a housing having a base end, a mount hook connected to the housing, a debris container removably coupled to the housing, and a suction source. The suction source is able to draw air into the debris container. A harness assembly is removably connected to the vacuum body assembly. The vacuum cleaner is convertible between a carry mode, a stand mode, and a hang mode. The harness assembly is connected to the vacuum body assembly in the carry mode, and the harness assembly is to be worn by a user. The base end of the vacuum body assembly may rest on a support surface in the stand mode. The hook of the vacuum body assembly may hang the body assembly from a mount structure in the hang mode.
