Abstract: A vacuum cleaner or a docking station has momentum separator having first and second sidewalls which are porous. A first air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a first end wall, which is spaced from and faces the first side screen, and the first side screen. A second air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a second end wall, which is spaced from and faces the second side screen, and the second side screen. In operation, air exits the momentum separator through the first and second side screens and travels through the first and second air flow chambers to the air outlet of the first and second air flow chambers.

Abstract: An evacuation station for a surface cleaning apparatus has a housing having an air flow path extending from an evacuation station air inlet to an evacuation station air outlet. An air treatment assembly comprising an air treatment member, is moveable from an in use position in which the air treatment member is positioned in the air flow path and a second position in which the air treatment member is disconnected from the air flow path. The air treatment assembly is moveable only laterally as it is moved from the in use position to the second position.

Abstract: New and novel structure(s) and methods for cleaning, and/or mapping, and/or initiating cleaning and/or extending cleaning surfaces have been disclosed. Additionally, novel means and methods of combining two independent cleaning devices has been disclosed. Additionally, the capacities (vacuum force, battery capacity /debris storage) of one device may be increased by conjoining the two in various modes. As such, the invention at hand uniquely and inventively improves upon the known devices in this field.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cleaner system including: a cleaner; a cleaner station; and an imaginary plane including an imaginary suction flow path through line penetrating a suction flow path in a longitudinal direction and an imaginary suction motor axis defined by extending a rotation axis of a suction motor, in which when the cleaner is coupled to the cleaner station, the plane penetrates at least a part of the cleaner station, such that a center of gravity of the cleaner is disposed to pass through a space for maintaining balance of the station, and as a result, it is possible to stably support the cleaner and the station while preventing the cleaner and the station from falling down.

Abstract: A cleaning bin mountable to an autonomous cleaning robot operable to receive debris from a floor surface includes a debris compartment to receive a first portion of debris separated from the airflow and a particulate compartment to receive a second portion of debris separated from the airflow. The cleaning bin also includes a debris separation cone having an inner conduit defining an upper opening and lower opening. The upper opening receives the airflow from the air channel. The inner conduit tapers from the upper opening to the lower opening such that the airflow forms a cyclone within the inner conduit.
