The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station that sucks dust stored in a cleaner into the inside thereof and a method for controlling the cleaner station. The cleaner station according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a housing which is coupled to a cleaner; a dust collection motor which is received within the housing and generates a suction force to suck dust within a dust bin of the cleaner; a dust collector which is received within the housing, is disposed above the dust collection motor, and collects the dust sucked from the inside of the dust bin by the dust collection motor; and a collector external sterilization unit which is received within the housing and is provided to cause a sterilization reaction on foreign substances present outside the dust collector.

A surface cleaning device includes a nozzle and an odor dial assembly. The nozzle includes a nozzle housing and a dirty air passageway. The odor dial assembly include a fragrance member and a dial body configured to be removably coupled to the nozzle housing. The dial body at least partially defines a fragrance cavity configured to at least partially receive the fragrance member and a fragrance passageway extending therethrough. The odor dial assembly is configured to transition between a plurality of user-selectable positions to adjust an amount of fragrance particles released by the fragrance member into the dirty air passageway.

A cleaning device (I) for suctioning a volumetric flow of particle-laden suction-air from an environment, includes: an air-receiving opening (2) having a first line cross section (21) for suctioning the volumetric flow of particle-laden suction-air from the environment in an active operating state; a liquid-receiving unit (4) having an immersion tube (3) for receiving a liquid, wherein the immersion tube (3) is connected at a first end (7) to the air-receiving opening (2) for conducting suction air and is designed such that at a second end (8) it is immersed into the receivable liquid such that, in an active operating state, the volumetric flow of particle-laden suction-air flows through the receivable liquid to trap the particles; and a vacuum generator (6) for generating the volumetric flow of suction-air in the active operating state.

A compact, portable, low cost ultraviolet (UV) light source apparatus irradiates select or target surfacing for disinfecting or sanitizing the target surfacing or for decomposing ozone within a defined ozone environment. The ultraviolet light source apparatus according to the present invention essentially includes a power source; an ultraviolet (UV) light source in communication with the power source, and a mechanism for powering on and powering off the ultraviolet (UV) light source. The ultraviolet (UV) light source directs ultraviolet light toward a select surface for irradiating the surface or decomposing ozone. The ultraviolet (UV) light source apparatus may be attached to any number of select surfaces or objects or may be utilized to receive and hold objects for treating surfacing thereof.

The present disclosure provides a mattress care device that may be stored in a hidden state within a bed frame without being exposed to the outside when not in use, and a lift operation part positioned under the mattress for raising the mattress during a sterilization and cleaning of the mattress surface and for lowering the mattress to an initial position.

A mattress care device includes two vertically moving frames that are moved upward from opposite side walls of a bed frame and then a sanitary module is moved along the two vertically moving frames to perform the cleaning of a mattress, and when the cleaning of the mattress is not performed, the sanitary module is stored in a storage part while the two vertically moving frames are moved downward so that the sanitary module is stored in a location hidden from a user of a bed. Accordingly, discomfort caused by exposure of the sanitary module can be prevented.

A mattress care device includes a moving module that is moved in the longitudinal direction of a mattress and a cleaning module that is installed at the moving module and moved in the width direction of the mattress. In particular, the connection portions between two side frames of the moving module and a top frame are rotatable so that the moving module can be stably moved forward and backward.

A system and method of software control and autonomy of a disinfection module for an autonomous or semi-autonomous cleaning device. The disinfection module control software resides on a computer with processor and memory. The disinfection module is connected to peripherals for sensing and localizing in the environment and controlling the actuators for the motion of the cleaning device. The disinfection module control software processes the sprayer's status, follows and plans paths to move the cleaning device to the spray targets, generates appropriate motion commands, and controls the disinfection module's pump, fan, LED, and electrostatic generator states.

A cleaner station includes: a housing configured to receive a cleaner, a dust collecting motor that is accommodated in the housing and that is configured to generate a suction force for suctioning a foreign substance out of a dust bin of the cleaner, a dust storage module configured to, based on the dust collecting motor being operated, receive the foreign substance from the dust bin, and a sterilization module configured to sterilize the foreign substance received in the dust storage module. The dust storage module that (i) comprises a transmission panel configured to transmit sterilization light emitted by the sterilization module and (ii) is detachably coupled to the housing together with the transmission panel.

A surface cleaning appliance has a motorized blower adapted to pull air containing the genus and germ-laden dust through an internal dust bin. The dust bin includes a chamber, a UV lamp disposed within the chamber, a copper mesh filter, and a HEPA filter. The appliance has a horizontally-rotating roller brush at its intake opening and has an ion generator and an essential oil diffuser at its exhaust opening. A smartphone app enables remote and varied operation of the appliance.
