A cleaner includes a housing provided to receive a fan motor unit configured to generate a suction force and a dust collecting chamber provided to collect foreign substances, a suction head coupled to a lower portion of the housing to suck the foreign substances on a surface to be cleaned, a neck arranged between the suction head and the housing to connect the suction head to the housing, the neck rotatable with respect to the suction head and detachably coupled to the housing, a switch device arranged on one side of the neck to allow the neck and the housing to be coupled to each other or separated from each other, and a rotating body rotatably coupled to the neck and configured to lock or unlock the switch device according to a position of the neck with respect to the suction head.

An apparatus for removing large particles from a vessel The apparatus includes a vacuum storage container and a suction hose extending from the vacuum storage container. The vacuum storage container includes a material receiving section, a grinding pump and a disposal line. The material receiving section receives the large particles from the suction hose. The grinding pump is positioned in the material receiving section for pulverizing the large particles received in the material receiving section. The disposal line extends from the grinding pump through the vacuum storage container to remove the pulverized material from the grinding pump and the vacuum storage container.

A cleaner is provided. The cleaner includes a transfer device, and a dust collecting apparatus connectable to the transfer device and configured to filter out rubbish transferred from the transfer device. The dust collecting apparatus includes a housing in which a first dust chamber is formed, and including a guide recessed inwardly from an outer surface, a handle configured to be movable on the outside of the housing and provided to cover at least a portion of the guide, a first rubbish removal member configured to be movable inside the housing based on the movement of the handle, and configured to discharge rubbish collected in the first dust chamber, and a link configured to connect the handle to the first rubbish removal member, and having a movement guided by the guide.

The present invention relates to a robot cleaner. The robot cleaner comprises: a cleaner body equipped with a driving wheel; and a cleaning nozzle mounted inside a downwardly open opening portion in a lower portion of the cleaner body so as to be able to ascend and descend. The cleaning nozzle can be supported by a plurality of ascending/descending guides and a plurality of auxiliary ascending/descending guides so that the cleaning nozzle can ascend and descend relative to the cleaner body according to changes in the height of a cleaning surface on which the cleaner body travels. Accordingly, the cleaning to nozzle rises upon being pressed by a compressible floor such as a carpet, thus solving the problem of the cleaning nozzle catching on the cleaning surface. Therefore, travel performance can be improved, and the load on a brush driving part can be reduced.
