Abstract: A suction apparatus and a glass-wiping device with the suction apparatus. The glass-wiping device sucks onto the surface of a glass via the suction apparatus. The suction apparatus comprises a suction cup unit (1). The suction cup unit (1) comprises an inner suction cup (11) and an outer suction cup (12). The inner suction cup (11) is arranged on the inside of the outer suction cup (12), where a chamber on the inside of the inner suction cup (11) forms an inner negative pressure chamber (13) via vacuum suction, and where a chamber between the inner and outer suction cups (11 and 12) forms an outer negative pressure chamber (14) via vacuum suction. The glass-wiping device sucks onto the surface of the glass via the inner negative pressure chamber (13) and/or the outer negative pressure chamber (14). The glass-wiping device sucks onto the surface of the glass via the suction apparatus, is capable of ensuring sufficient vacuum pressure, and prevents the phenomenon of the glass-wiping device falling from the surface of the glass.

Abstract: A device for cleaning a surface (e.g., a barbeque grill, etc.) generally includes an enclosure having at least a lower side, an upper side, and a peripheral edge. The device includes one or more motors having one or more rotational shafts selectively fixable with one or more rotatable brushes. The one or more rotatable brushes have a plurality of bristles. At least a portion of bristles projects below a plane of the lower side of the enclosure. The device also includes a circuit adapted for connecting power from a power source to the one or more motors for a preset period of time upon actuation of an electrical switch connected thereto. The circuit is adapted to run the one or more motors in a first direction and then an opposing direction, such that if the device becomes stuck at an obstruction, it will eventually turn around due to the alternating directions of the one or more motors.

Abstract: A remote home security monitoring system and a method thereof are disclosed. In the system, an air sensor, a temperature sensor, a sound sensor and a charge-coupled device are integrated in a cleaning robot and configured to continuously sense air quality, ambient temperature and ambient sound when the cleaning robot is turned on, so as to generate ambient data which is further analyzed to determine an ambient state. When the ambient state is determined to be dangerous, the cleaning robot stops cleaning and notifies a remote user instantly, and provides the user to enable and control the charge-coupled device and a sound collection element to continuously record environment audio/video, and store the environment audio/video in a remote storage device. Therefore, the present disclosure can help to improve the comprehensiveness of home security monitoring.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprising a main body and a cyclonic separating apparatus. The separating apparatus comprises a dirt collection chamber and a baffle arrangement, and is mounted within the main body such that a first part of the dirt collection chamber is obscured and a second part of the dirt collection chamber is visible during normal use. The baffle arrangement is positioned within the dirt collection chamber such that, during use, an airflow moving within the dirt collection chamber is disrupted by the baffle arrangement causing dirt to collect preferentially in the second part.

Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a cleaner body, a suction unit, and a cyclone unit. The cyclone unit has a first suction opening and a second suction opening for sucking air, and a first cyclone and a second cyclone for passing air therethrough, the air having dust filtered therefrom by a centrifugal force. A first guiding member and a second guiding member extend upwardly from the suction unit toward the cyclone unit with an inclination angle, the first guiding member for connection between the suction unit and the first suction opening, and the second guiding member for connection between the suction unit and the second suction opening. A dust box communicated with a dust discharge opening is provided at a front side of the cyclone unit so as to collect dust filtered by the cyclone unit. The dust box is partially or wholly accommodated between the first and second guiding members.
