A surface cleaning apparatus includes an air flow path, a cyclone, and an air flow passage. The air flow path extends from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet. A suction motor is positioned in the air flow path. The cyclone is positioned in the air flow path, and has a cyclone chamber, a cyclone chamber sidewall, a plurality of tangential air inlets, a cyclone air outlet, and a longitudinal cyclone axis. Air rotates in a direction of rotation in the cyclone chamber. Each tangential air inlets includes an inlet port provided in the cyclone chamber sidewall, each inlet port having an upstream edge and a downstream edge in the direction of rotation. The air flow passage extends parallel to the cyclone axis and upstream from the tangential air inlets. The air flow passage has a terminal end at which the plurality of tangential air inlets are located.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to pool cleaners that remove debris from water using a plurality of cyclonic flows, or that include a removable impeller subassembly, a check valve for a debris canister, a particle separator assembly having a handle that locks to the pool cleaner, a modular roller drive gear box, or a roller latch that secures a roller to the pool cleaner. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to the check valve and the roller latch themselves. Exemplary embodiments are directed to a filter medium for pool cleaners that includes embossments providing flow channels for water, and to roller assemblies for pool cleaners. Exemplary embodiments are directed to pool cleaners including alternative pump motor engagements. Exemplary embodiments are directed to pool cleaners power supplies that include a potted and contoured power board assembly, and to kickstands therefor. Exemplary embodiments are directed to a pool cleaner caddy, and removable wheels therefor.

The present invention relates to a cotton opening and dust collecting device for refined cotton, which comprises a first cyclone separator, a second cyclone separator, a first draught fan, a second draught fan and a spiral conveyer, and further comprises a suction pipe, a dust collecting cabin, a screen plate, a motor, a dust extraction pipe, a first bearing, a second bearing, a first pipeline, a second pipeline, a third pipeline and a forth pipeline. The device is able to complete collection to the cotton dust in the air in the cotton opening workshop, which not only can effectively prevent the screen plate from being blocked by the cotton dust, but also has good dust collection effect and complete collection of cotton dust.

A hydrocyclone separator and a system that includes a plurality of such hydrocyclone separators are presented. The hydrocyclone separator includes a head portion having an inlet conduit and an overflow discharge tube arranged in the head portion. The hydrocyclone separator further has an apex discharge port and a tapered separation portion arranged between the head portion and the apex discharge port. The tapered separation portion is tapering distally away from the head portion. Moreover, the head portion further includes an emptying port arranged in the head portion separately from the overflow discharge tube. Hereby, a hydrocyclone separator capable of achieving improved operational efficiency with reduced risk of coarse fraction being misplaced and left in the head portion is presented. This effectively reduces maintenance needs and prolongs the lifespan of the hydrocyclone.
