A station for a cleaning device is provided. The station includes an accommodation chamber configured to be docked with the dust canister, a housing configured to have a dust bag disposed therein, a cover configured to open and close one region of the housing, a holder configured to be detachable to the dust bag and selectively communicate the dust bag with the accommodation chamber, and a lever configured to have one end disposed in one region of the housing and rotate in a first direction to selectively interfere with the cover. The lever rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction to close the cover based on the dust bag being mounted on the holder and in communication with the accommodation chamber.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone with multiple cyclone air inlets, and a header that is upstream of at least some of the cyclone air inlets.

A cleaner includes: a suction motor that generates suction force; a dust separation unit that separates dust from air sucked by the suction force; a motor housing that covers the suction motor; a flow guide that surrounds an outer side of the motor housing and guides air discharged from the dust separation unit to the suction motor; and a body that forms an external appearance by surrounding the flow guide and guides air discharged from the suction motor together with the flow guide.

A hand vacuum cleaner has an upper end, a lower end, an air flow passage, a main body with a handle, an air treatment chamber and a suction motor. The air treatment chamber has an air outlet, the air outlet comprising a rigid porous member and a filter media that is removably positionable in the rigid porous member. The air treatment chamber is moveable to an open position in which the air treatment chamber is emptyable, and the rigid porous member is moveable within the air treatment chamber to an open position in which the filter media is removable.

A dirt collection and separation module can include a suction air flow around the perimeter of a tank to ingest fine dust that becomes airborne during the emptying process. Additionally, a trash can suction nozzle around a rim, a hand vacuum docking station, and an auxiliary suction nozzle that can fluidly couple the hand vacuum.

In general, the present disclosure is directed to a hand-held surface cleaning device that includes a relatively compact form-factor to allow users to store the same in a nearby location (e.g., in a drawer, in an associated charging dock, on a table top) for easy access to perform relatively small cleaning tasks that would otherwise require retrieving a full-size vacuum from storage. A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.

An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a transport drive and control system arranged for autonomous movement of the robot over a floor for performing cleaning operations. The robot chassis carries a first cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arranged to suction loose particulates up from the cleaning surface and a second cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arranged to apply a cleaning fluid onto the surface and to thereafter collect the cleaning fluid up from the surface after it has been used to clean the surface. The robot chassis carries a supply of cleaning fluid and a waste container for storing waste materials collected up from the cleaning surface.

A filter device for a vacuum cleaner having a turbine device for generating at least one first and one second main air flow through at least a portion of the vacuum cleaner having and a control unit. The filter device has a first chamber including a first filter element, a first outflow opening, a first inlet opening and a first pressure surge element dividing the first chamber into a first chamber first space and a first chamber second space and reversibly movable between a first pressure surge element first position and a first pressure surge element second position, and a second chamber including a second filter element, a second outflow opening, a second inlet opening and a second pressure surge element dividing the second chamber into a second chamber first space and a second chamber second space reversibly movable between a second pressure surge element first position and a second pressure surge element second position.
