A surface cleaning apparatus can include a housing adapted to move across a surface to be cleaned, an edge brush, and a brushroll driven by a brush motor. The edge brush is connectable with a drive coupling for rotating the edge brush, and is indirectly driven by the brush motor via the brushroll. In one aspect, the edge brush and drive coupling comprise a modular unit removably coupled to the housing. In another aspect, the drive coupling can include a worm and a belt.

A cleaner can include a cleaner main body including a suction motor configured to generate a suction force to suction air containing dust on a cleaning surface, the cleaner main body being configured to separate the dust from the air suctioned; a nozzle placed on the cleaning surface and configured to suck the air containing dust on the cleaning surface; and an extension tube to which the nozzle is detachably connected, one end connected to the nozzle and the other end connected to the cleaner main body to guide the air containing dust from the cleaning surface to the cleaner main body.

A cleaner head includes a housing having a suction port facing a cleaning target surface, a first rotary brush provided in the housing, a second rotary brush provided in the housing, and a suction area provided between the first rotary brush and the second rotary brush and connecting to the suction port. The first rotary brush and the second rotary brush rotate in directions opposite to each other.

A gear assembly includes an upper cover and a lower cover, a stator fixed to the lower cover, a rotor opposite to the stator and including a rotary shaft and magnet, a main gear fixed to the rotary shaft and rotating along with the rotary shaft, and a helical gear engaged with the main gear, the main gear and the helical gear being both received in the cover member, the upper cover including a boss portion with a recess receiving a tip of the rotary shaft. The rotor is axially movable and when the rotary shaft stops rotating, the tip of the rotary shaft is in the recess of the boss portion, and when the rotary shaft rotates, the helical gear applies a force on the main gear, and the tip of the rotary shaft is disengaged from the recess of the boss portion.

A cleaning robot including at least a first cleaning roller brush and a second cleaning roller brush which are disposed to perform beating and cleaning on garbage on a to-be-cleaned surface, which is equivalent to beating and cleaning the to-be-cleaned surface at least twice. In addition, a high-power fan is used in combination to suck garbage that is agitated by the cleaning roller brushes into a dust box.

A nozzle structure with a plurality of bristle bunches includes a mouth-shaped casing and a plurality of bristle bunches. The mouth-shaped casing has a first end portion with an air inlet and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. The second end portion has a plurality of outlet pores arranged in parallel and a plurality of bristle pores. Each of the outlet pores connects to the air inlet via a ventilated space inside the mouth-shaped casing, and the plurality of bristle bunches are implanted in the bristle pores of the mouth-shaped casing. In addition, the bristle bunches protrude further out from the outlet pores.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing including a suction flow path through which air including dust flows and at least a portion of which extends in a front and rear direction. First and second rotation cleaning units are arranged on the lower side of the nozzle housing to be spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction. Each of the first and second rotation cleaning units includes a rotation plate adapted for attachment of a mop. A first driving device including a first driving motor drives the first rotation cleaning unit and a second driving device including a second driving motor drives the second rotation cleaning unit. A water tank mounted on the nozzle stores water to be supplied to the mop.

A vacuum cleaner includes a foot assembly having a suction inlet thereon, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction inlet to produce a working airflow there through, and a dirt container in fluid communication with the suction inlet and suction source. The foot assembly further comprises a body defined by a central portion and a pair of extension arms, a rotatable agitator on each extension arm, and a drive assembly configured to counter-rotate the agitators. The counter-rotating agitators are operable to cooperate with the suction source to direct dust and debris towards the suction inlet.

Provided are a floor brush assembly for a vacuum cleaner and the vacuum cleaner. The floor brush assembly includes a roller brush component and a driving mechanism. The roller brush component includes a sleeve and a roller brush body rotatably mounted in the sleeve. The roller brush body is provided with bristles. The driving mechanism includes a power source and a transmission component. The transmission component includes a first driving member, a second driving member, and a driving wheel connected to the power source. The driving wheel is connected to the first driving member through a transmission shaft to drive the roller brush body to rotate. The driving wheel is connected to the second driving member through a linkage structure to drive the sleeve to rotate. The first driving member and the second driving member are eccentrically arranged to allow the bristles to be selectively extended out of or retracted into the sleeve.

The present invention provides a cleaner including a cleaner main body having a controller, a support member detachably coupled to a module mounting portion of the cleaner main body, and a mop module rotatably supported on the support member, wherein the mop module includes a rotating rod configured to be rotatable in at least one direction by being interlocked with a rotation driving portion provided in the module mounting portion when the supporting member is mounted on the module mounting portion, and a mop member formed to surround an outer circumference of the rotating rod so as to mop the floor in response to the rotation of the rotating rod.
