A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a wheel unit and a controller controlling driving of the wheel unit; a suction unit disposed to protrude from the cleaner body, the suction unit sucking air containing dust; and a sensing unit disposed at the front of the cleaner body in which the suction unit is disposed, wherein at least one portion of the sensing unit is disposed to overlap with the suction unit in the top-bottom direction of the cleaner body.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; a suction unit mounted in the cleaner body to suck air containing dust; a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, the dust container filtering and collecting dust from sucked air; and a dust container cover including a hinge part rotatably coupled to the cleaner body, the dust container cover detachably coupled to the dust container to cover a top surface of the dust container.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a main body comprising a suction motor, a front end, a rear end and a handle, the suction motor having a suction motor inlet end that faces the front end of the main body. A cyclone unit is positioned in the air flow passage upstream from the suction motor, the cyclone unit is removably mounted to the front end of the main body wherein the first cyclonic stage faces towards the suction motor inlet end. In another embodiment, the handle is provided on the top of the main body with a grip portion provided between a lower surface of the handle and an upper surface of the main body, the handle extending in the forward/rearward direction and having a front end, a rear end and a handle length that is greater than a length of the suction motor in the forward/rearward direction.

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.

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.

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 hand vacuum cleaner has an air treatment member having an air inlet passage which comprises a handle for the air treatment member and a door lock of the air treatment member wherein, when a user's hand is holding the air treatment member by the air treatment member handle, the door release actuator is operable by the same hand.

A hand vacuum cleaner has a uniflow cyclone with a front cyclone air inlet and a rear air cyclone outlet.

A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a main body and a removably mounted air treatment member. The air treatment member has an air flow passage which comprises a handle for the air treatment member.
