The present application provides a docking station including a cleaning system disposed in a base thereof. The cleaning system includes a cutting chamber, an upper end cover, and a lower end cover; and the cutting chamber is configured to receive a to-be-cleaned object, and the upper end cover is detachably connected to an upper end of the cutting chamber; the lower end cover is disposed at a lower end of the cutting chamber and rotatably connected with the cutting chamber; the to-be-cleaned object is detachably fixed to the lower end cover; and a blade assembly configured to clean the to-be-cleaned object is provided at an inner wall of the cutting chamber. The docking station may clean the to-be-cleaned object, such as a roller brush of a robot cleaner, while charging the robot cleaner, which provides an auxiliary function, extends the applicability and is more convenient for home use.

A docking station for a robotic cleaner may include a base, a docking station dust cup removably coupled to the base, a latch actuatable between a retaining position and a release position, and a release system configured to actuate the latch between the retaining and release positions. The docking station dust cup may be removable from the base in response to a pivotal movement of the docking station dust cup relative to the base about a pivot point. The latch may be horizontally spaced apart from the pivot point, wherein, when the latch is in the retaining position, pivotal movement of the docking station dust cup is substantially prevented.

A hand vacuum cleaner having a main body and a cyclonic air treatment stage wherein the pre-motor filter has an outer perimeter defining a volume and the cyclone axis and the motor axis each extend through a central portion of the volume and wherein the post-motor filter has a curved outer perimeter that defines a volume, the volume has a radially inner central portion and the cyclone axis and the motor axis each extend through the central portion of the volume.

The present disclosure discloses a cleaning base station. The cleaning base station includes a base and a vibration device. The vibration device includes a driving mechanism and a cleaning element. The driving mechanism is fixed to the base. The cleaning element is connected to the driving mechanism. The cleaning element is configured to contact a part-to-be-cleaned of a cleaning robot. The driving mechanism drives the cleaning element to vibrate so as to clean the part-to-be-cleaned of the cleaning robot. The present disclosure also discloses a cleaning robot system using the cleaning base station described above. The present disclosure has the advantages of reducing a user's burden of manual cleaning and avoiding contamination of a floor surface by the part-to-be-cleaned of the cleaning robot.

A dust bin and a vacuum cleaner combination provided with the dust bin are provided. The dust bin includes a dust chamber, a dust inlet detachably connected to a dust suction apparatus, and a sealing structure for implementing the sealing between the dust suction apparatus and the dust bin. The dust suction apparatus has a dust outlet joined to the dust inlet. The vacuum cleaner combination includes a dust suction apparatus and a dust bin detachably connected to the dust suction apparatus. The dust suction apparatus has a housing and a dust cup assembly connected to the housing. The dust cup assembly includes a cup body and a filter apparatus disposed in the cup body. Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, a detachable multi-purpose dust bin with a simple structure is disposed, so that the dust collection chamber of the vacuum cleaner is flexibly increased.

A vacuum cleaner including a housing, a suction inlet, a suction source, a collector and a filtering unit. The housing includes a suction airflow through the housing. The suction source draws the suction airflow through the suction inlet. The collector receives debris separated from the suction airflow and is disposed between the suction inlet and the suction source. The filtering unit includes a filter, a retractable member, and a biasing member, where the retractable member is operable in directions towards and away from the filter for supplying momentary impact to the filter for providing agitations to rid the filter from debris. The biasing member urges the retractable member towards the filter.

This document describes a mobile cleaning robot including a chassis having a forward portion and an aft portion; a blower affixed to the chassis; a bin supported by the chassis and configured to receive airflow from the blower, the chassis enabling evacuation of the bin through a bottom of the robot. The bin includes a top, a bottom, a sidewall, and an internal barrier. The bin includes a first volume and a second volume separated by the internal barrier and a filter unit supported by the internal barrier and removably disposed in an airflow path between the first volume that includes an intake port in the bin and the second volume that includes an exhaust port in the bin.

A vacuumed material collection station for receiving vacuumed material from a vacuum cleaning apparatus includes a vacuumed material collection container and an interface for connecting the vacuum cleaning apparatus to the vacuumed material collection station. The vacuumed material collection station comprises a receptacle space for receiving a filter chamber of a vacuum cleaning apparatus connected to the vacuumed material collection station and a feed device for feeding the filter chamber into the receptacle space. The receptacle space is designed for completely encompassing the filter chamber and/or at the most not encompassing a chamber side facing the interface with the vacuum cleaning apparatus. The receptacle space forms a partial volume within the housing of the vacuumed material collection station, and the feed device is designed for removing the filter chamber from the vacuum cleaning apparatus and displacing the filter chamber into the receptacle space.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.
