Provided is a vacuum cleaner including a cleaner body; a moving wheel provided at each of both side surfaces of the cleaner body, rotated for travelling of the vacuum cleaner and configured to support the cleaner body to be rotatable in normal and reverse directions; a wheel motor assembly connected to the moving wheel and configured to rotate the moving wheel for the travelling of the vacuum cleaner; a main motor provided inside the cleaner body, located at a rear side further than a vertical extension line of a rotating center of the moving wheel and driven to suction dust; and a battery provided inside the cleaner body, located at the rear side further than the vertical extension line of the rotating center of the moving wheel and configured to provide electric power to the main motor and the wheel motor assembly, wherein a center of gravity of the cleaner body is located at a rear of the vertical extension line of the rotating center of the moving wheel due to an arrangement of the main motor and the battery.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises a hand vacuum cleaner, a surface cleaning head and a rigid air flow conduit extending between the surface cleaning head and the hand vacuum cleaner. The hand vacuum cleaner comprises a main body and a removably mounted air treatment member. The air treatment member has an air inlet and the outlet end of the rigid air flow conduit is removably connectable in air flow communication with the air inlet.

A loading apparatus lowers or raises a dust or particulate collection container for ease of extraction and installation. This apparatus is disposed within a rigid frame structure capable of mounting to a wall or mobile device. A U-shaped member supports the dust collection container, the container typically being a cylindrical bucket or container with integral rim or handles. The U-shaped member orthogonally translates up into a first position and down into a second position with activation of a lever. The mechanics of the apparatus effects linear vertical travel of the dust collection container and when in a first position, mates the rim of the container onto a compliant gasket member disposed within the rigid frame structure, thus forming a vacuum-tight interface necessary for vacuum systems, in particular but not limited to, dust collection vacuum systems that utilize a cyclone dust separator.

A robot cleaner motor assembly including: a fan motor and a fan motor casing including an exhaust passage for guiding, to an exhaust port, air discharged from the fan motor, wherein the exhaust passage includes: a first exhaust passage guiding the air such that the air, discharged from a discharge port of the fan motor, moves to an upper or lower side of the fan motor; a second exhaust passage guiding, to a front end of the fan motor, the air discharged from the first exhaust passage; a third exhaust passage guiding the air such that the air, discharged from the second exhaust passage, moves to the lower or upper side of the fan motor along left and right sides of the fan motor; and a fourth exhaust passage guiding, to an exhaust port, the air having moved along the left and right sides of the third exhaust passage.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber. The cyclone chamber has a sidewall extending from a first end to an axially opposed second end. At least a portion of the dirt collection chamber is aligned with first end of the cyclone chamber and radially outwardly of a solid portion of the vortex finder.

A wet-dry vacuum cleaner including a collecting bin and a power head removably coupled to the collecting bin. The power head includes a housing configured to support the power head on the collecting bin, an exhaust outlet, and a cyclonic separator positioned within the housing. The cyclonic separator includes a dirty air inlet, a chamber, and a clean air outlet. The power head further includes a suction motor assembly operable to create a working airflow path from the dirty air inlet to the exhaust outlet, and a filter disposed within a filter housing hanging downwardly from the suction motor assembly. The filter is positioned within the working airflow path adjacent the clean air outlet of the cyclonic separator.

A surface cleaning apparatus comprises an air treatment member having a first end, a longitudinally spaced apart second end, an air inlet and an air outlet comprising an outlet conduit; an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and including a suction motor and the air treatment member; a pre-motor filter positioned in the air flow path downstream from the outlet conduit; and, an agitation member operatively engageable with the pre-motor filter.

There is provided a robot cleaner having an improved dust-collecting capability and an improved suction force and capable of being manufactured in a small size. The robot cleaner includes a main body comprising a fan motor and having a suction port provided in one side thereof; a plurality of cyclone units configured to separate foreign substances in air suctioned through the suction port; and a plurality of suction flow paths connecting the plurality of cyclone units and the suction port.

A vacuum cleaner including a cleaner body; and a dust collector provided in the cleaner body, wherein the dust collector includes an outer case forming a side appearance of the dust collector; a first cyclone provided within an outer case to filter dust and foreign matter from air introduced into the dust collector; a second cyclone accommodated within the first cyclone to separate fine dust from the air introduced into the first cyclone; and an upper cover mounted on a top of the outer case to cover the first and second cyclones and having an intake guide configured to introduce air into the outer case and an exhaust guide configured to discharge air from which fine dust is separated by the second cyclone.

A vacuum cleaner, including a cleaner body; and a dust collector provided in the cleaner body, wherein the dust collector includes a first cyclone provided within an outer case to filter foreign matter and dust from air introduced into the dust collector; a second cyclone accommodated within the first cyclone to separate fine dust from the air introduced into the first cyclone; and a rotatable shell provided at a lower side of the first cyclone so as to define a first storage section configured to collect foreign matter and dust filtered by the first cyclone between the rotatable shell and the outer case, and wherein the rotatable shell includes a skirt that extends downward and outward from an upper portion of the rotatable shell.
