An electric blower includes a motor unit, a shaft, a centrifugal impeller, a fan cover, a motor unit case, and a bracket located away from centrifugal impeller and toward motor unit in a direction in which a central axis of the shaft extends. The bracket includes a first portion located outward of the vent in a radial direction, and a second portion located outward of the first portion and outward of an outer circumference of the motor unit case in the radial direction. A first airflow passage and a second airflow passage are formed in the bracket, the first and second airflow passages communicate with an airflow passage formed by the centrifugal impeller and the fan cover.

A pump is for generating a suction for application to a vacuum cleaner dirty air inlet. There is a motor inside a motor outer casing and a fan outside the motor outer casing having a main inlet and a main outlet. The fan generates a main suction flow between the main inlet and the main outlet and creates a region of under pressure. This under pressure is used to drive a secondary flow between a cooling air inlet to the motor outer casing and a cooling air outlet from the motor outer casing. The secondary air flow is induced by making use of an under pressure generated by the fan.

The invention relates to a floor vacuum cleaner comprising a dust collector arrangement mounted on rollers and/or runners, a suction hose, a suction tube and a floor nozzle, wherein the floor nozzle is fluidically connected to the dust collector arrangement via the suction tube and the suction hose, also comprising a motorized fan unit for suctioning an air stream through the floor nozzle, wherein the motorized fan unit is arranged between the floor nozzle and the suction tube such that an air stream suctioned in through the floor nozzle flows through the motorized fan unit and into the suction tube.

The present invention relates to an autonomously operable vacuum cleaner that has a modular design. The vacuum cleaner in this respect comprises a cleaning head module as well as a separate canister module. The cleaning head module and the canister module are in this respect connected to one another via a hose so that dust sucked in via the cleaning head module can be conveyed into the canister module.

A vacuum cleaner including a motor, a suction opening, an exhaust opening, and an air passageway in fluid communication with the suction source and the exhaust opening. The motor receives power from a power cord that enters the lower portion of the main body through a power cord opening. The main body also includes a drain opening, configured to allow egress of any liquid in the main body. The power cord opening is higher than the drain opening. The vacuum also includes a protective tubular frame that surrounds the battery. The tubular frame is energy-absorbing, and is removable and replaceable.

A motor assembly has a motor having a rotor and a stator. An impeller is connected to a rotary shaft of the rotor and a housing is disposed between the impeller and the motor and surrounding an upper side of the motor. A diffuser discharges air, which is suctioned by the impeller, along an outer surface of the housing. A heat dissipation cover covers an outer surface of the motor. The heat dissipation cover includes an inner cover spaced apart from the outer surface of the motor and forming an inside-cover flow channel that air flows through and an outer cover having a diameter greater than that of the inner cover and forming an outside-cover flow channel through which air flows along the outer surface thereof.
