A filter system for a vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The system comprises a housing reconfigurable relative to a bin between an operative configuration in which the housing is disposed upon the bin so that dirt separated from dirt-laden air can collect in the bin, and an idle configuration in which the housing is removed from the bin. The housing comprises an inlet for receiving dirt-laden air into the housing, an outlet via which cleaned air can exit the housing. The system further comprises first filtering means and second filtering means disposed within the housing, the first filtering means being positioned upstream of the second filtering means. The first and second filtering means comprises a filter medium configured to separate dirt from the dirt-laden air passing from the inlet to the outlet through the filter medium. The system further comprises filter cleaning means for removing dirt from the filter medium of the first filtering means when the housing is configured at least in the operative configuration.

A cleaning apparatus may include a cleaning unit that is kept from moving downwardly from a predetermined limit position. The apparatus body includes a positioning member that positions the cleaning unit at the limit position. The cleaning unit includes an intake nozzle that is arranged at a position separated from the surface to be cleaned by a predetermined gap, a cam member that holds the cleaning unit at the limit position, and an operation input unit that changes the limit position to a higher position by moving the cleaning unit upward by operating the cam member.

A vacuum cleaner having: a profile extending between a profile nozzle end for attachment of a nozzle and a profile handle end for attachment of a first handle; a housing attached to the profile and having a motor fan unit for generating an airflow, a housing air outlet; and a housing air inlet, and an airflow channel extending from the profile nozzle end to the housing air outlet via the housing air inlet, for allowing an airflow from the first profile end to the housing air outlet. The housing is movable along the profile, and has a second handle operable by a user to move the vacuum cleaner.

A suction apparatus includes a suction apparatus housing, including a filter for cleaning a suction flow, wherein the suction apparatus housing has at least one filter fastening element for securing the filter to the suction apparatus housing, and including a filter cleaning device for mechanically cleaning the filter. The filter, the filter fastening element and the filter cleaning device are arranged within the suction apparatus housing. The filter cleaning device includes an actuation device and a hammer device. The actuation device and the hammer device interact such that the hammer device can be actuated by using the actuation device and, when actuated, the hammer device applies at least one pulse to the filter securing element.

A robotic cleaning system may include a robotic cleaner having a robotic cleaner dust cup and a docking station having a docking station dust cup configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner dust cup. The docking station dust cup may include a first debris collection chamber, a second debris collection chamber fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber, and a filter fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber and the second debris collection chamber.

A cleaner includes: a main body that forms an external shape; a dust container that is separably combined with the main body and stores dust separated from air; a dust container cover that is configured to open and close the dust container; a handle unit that is disposed behind the dust container; and an operating member that is configured to provide operation force to the dust container cover by moving in a first direction and to release a holding mechanism for preventing separation of the dust container from the main body by moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

The present application discloses dust boxes, dust box assemblies and cleaning devices, wherein the dust box assembly includes a dust box and at least two fans. The dust box is formed with a holding cavity, a dust suction port and at least two air outlets, the dust suction port is connected to the holding cavity, the at least two air outlets are connected to the holding cavity. At least two fans are provided corresponding to at least two air outlets for creating an airflow that passes through the dust suction port, the holding chamber and the air outlet in sequence.

A cleaner includes a housing, a body slidably coupled to the housing, a dust container mountable to the housing and detachable from the housing, and a pushing device slidably coupled to the dust container and mountable to the body and detachable from the body.

A dust collecting device includes a bin, a dust bag assembly, a bin cover, a trigger structure, a detector and a controller. The trigger structure moves between an initial position in which the trigger structure does not trigger the detector and a trigger position in which the trigger structure triggers the detector. When the dust bag assembly is installed in the bin and the bin cover covers the bin, the dust bag assembly and the bin cover respectively pushes the trigger structure, such that the trigger structure moves from the initial position to the trigger position and triggers the detector. The controller is electrically connected with the detector. The controller restricts an operation of the dust collecting device according to an untriggered state of the detector, and releases the operation of the dust collecting device according to a triggered state of the detector.

A robotic cleaning system may include a robotic cleaner having a robotic cleaner dust cup and a docking station having a docking station dust cup configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner dust cup. The docking station dust cup may include a first debris collection chamber, a second debris collection chamber fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber, and a filter fluidly coupled to the first debris collection chamber and the second debris collection chamber.
