According to one aspect of the present disclosure, because there is no need for a user to pick dust or the like adhered to an outer circumferential surface of the grill off by hand, the vacuum cleaner is easy to use. In addition, when removing dust or the like adhered to an outer circumferential surface of the grill, generation of secondary contamination around the case can be prevented. A cyclone dust collector, the cyclone dust collector comprises a case configured to accommodate dust separated from suctioned air, a first cover configured to open, and close a bottom of the case and a grill assembly provided to be detachable from the case.

A robot cleaner includes: a cleaner body; a driving unit configured to provide a driving force; a driving pulley connected to the driving unit, and formed to be rotatable by receiving the driving force from the driving unit; first and second driven pulleys disposed at both sides of the driving pulley; and a belt forming a closed loop by entirely enclosing the driving pulley and the first and second driven pulleys, and configured to rotate the first and second driven pulleys when the driving pulley is rotated.

An upright surface cleaning apparatus, such as an extractor, has an upright section moveably mounted to a surface cleaning head and a recline limiter system adapted to inhibit the upright section reclining to a positon at which recovered water enters the separator.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a cleaning assembly having forward roller and rearward rollers counter-rotating with respect to each other. The rollers are arranged to substantially maintain a cross sectional area between the two rollers yet permitting collapsing therebetween as large debris is passed. Each roller includes a resilient elastomer outer tube and a partially air-occupied inner resilient core configured to bias the outer tube to rebound. The core includes a hub and resilient spokes extending between the inner surface of the outer tube and the hub. The spokes suspend the outer tube to float about the hub and transfer torque from the hub to the outer tube while allowing the outer tube to momentarily deform or move offset from the hub during impact with debris larger than the cross sectional area between the two rollers.

An autonomous floor-cleaning robot comprising a housing infrastructure including a chassis, a power subsystem; for providing the energy to power the autonomous floor-cleaning robot, a motive subsystem operative to propel the autonomous floor-cleaning robot for cleaning operations, a command and control subsystem operative to control the autonomous floor-cleaning robot to effect cleaning operations, and a self-adjusting cleaning head subsystem that includes a deck mounted in pivotal combination with the chassis, a brush assembly mounted in combination with the deck and powered by the motive subsystem to sweep up particulates during cleaning operations, a vacuum assembly disposed in combination with the deck and powered by the motive subsystem to ingest particulates during cleaning operations, and a deck adjusting subassembly mounted in combination with the motive subsystem for the brush assembly, the deck, and the chassis that is automatically operative in response to an increase in brush torque in said brush assembly to pivot the deck with respect to said chassis. The autonomous floor-cleaning robot also includes a side brush assembly mounted in combination with the chassis and powered by the motive subsystem to entrain particulates outside the periphery of the housing infrastructure and to direct such particulates towards the self-adjusting cleaning head subsystem.
