A cleaner includes a suction unit guiding air and dust, a main body including a first cyclone unit separating the air and the dust, which are suctioned through the suction unit, from each other and a second cyclone unit separating the dust from the air discharged from the first cyclone unit, and a guide unit disposed in the main body to partition a first dust storage part, in which the dust separated in the first cyclone unit is stored, and a second dust storage part, in which the dust separated in the second cyclone unit is stored, from each other. The guide unit is separably coupled to the main body, and when the guide unit is separated from the main body, a dust discharge part of the second cyclone unit is exposed to the outside.

An apparatus is provided for attaching floor tools to a wheeled vehicle. The apparatus includes a mounting frame configured to secure to a frame of the wheeled vehicle and a floating frame rotatably attached to the mounting frame. The apparatus also includes pickup tubes attached to the floating frame. The pickup tubes are configured to attach to the floor tools. The floating frame is configured to move relative to the mounting frame based on undulations in a floor surface over which the floor tools travel. In other embodiments, a method is provided for assembling the apparatus. In still other embodiments, a method is provided for using the above apparatus with the wheeled vehicle. In still other embodiments, a wheeled vehicle is provided that includes the above apparatus and the one or more floor tools attached to the wheeled vehicle with the apparatus.

A cleaner includes: at least one cyclone configured to separate dust from suctioned air; a dust container configured to store the dust separated by the at least one cyclone; a dust compressor provided inside the dust container; and a lifter configured to move the dust compressor upward and downward.

A dust collection box and a robot vacuum cleaner are disclosed. The dust collection box is used in the robot vacuum cleaner. The dust collection box includes a box body, a filter holder arranged in the box body, a dust separation structure configured to block dust, and a filter. The box body defines an air inlet and an air outlet. The filter holder defines an opening in a side surface thereof. The dust separation structure is arranged in the box body and located at an air inlet side of the opening. The filter is arranged to the filter holder and located at an air outlet side of the opening.

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.

A vacuum cleaner has a housing, a fan in the housing generating a suction air flow, an electric fan motor driving the fan, a dirt separator on the housing for separating dirt particles from the suction air flow, and a nozzle assembly. A suction pipe connects the housing to the nozzle assembly for drawing the suction air flow through the nozzle assembly. An external energy-storage unit on the suction pipe is connectable with the fan motor.

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 vacuum cleaner including a suction inlet that provides entrance of a suction airflow, a suction source, a diffuser, a blower port, a duct, and a removable cap. The diffuser is in fluid communication with the suction source for diffusing the suction airflow and the diffuser includes a circumferential opening that surrounds the suction source such that the suction airflow travels through the opening into the diffuser. The duct is located downstream of the blower port with respect to the direction of the suction airflow and the duct includes an outlet. The cap is removably coupled to the blower port such that at least a portion of the suction airflow exhausts through the blower port when the cap is removed, and when the cap is coupled to the blower port the suction airflow is travels through the duct and exhausts through the outlet.
