==CLEANING APPARATUS COMPRISING CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240081592 titled 'CLEANING APPARATUS COMPRISING CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The cleaning apparatus described in the patent application includes a cleaner with a dust container and a rotatable dust container cover, as well as a docking station with a collecting portion and a duct portion to guide contaminants from the dust container to the collecting portion. The apparatus also features a cover opening device and a cover closing device, with the latter including a rotary lever that can be moved between two positions to open or close the dust container cover.

* Cleaner with dust container and rotatable cover
* Docking station with collecting and duct portions
* Cover opening and closing devices with rotary lever

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in this patent application could be used in various cleaning devices, such as robotic vacuum cleaners, handheld vacuums, or industrial cleaning equipment.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently collecting and disposing of contaminants in a cleaning apparatus, as well as providing a convenient way to open and close the dust container for maintenance or disposal.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved cleanliness and hygiene in the cleaning process, as well as ease of use and maintenance for the user.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include manufacturing and selling cleaning appliances for household or commercial use, as well as licensing the technology to other companies in the cleaning industry.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing cleaning devices with detachable dust containers and docking stations, although the specific features of the cover opening and closing devices may be unique to this patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the rotary lever mechanism work to open and close the dust container cover? ===
The rotary lever is configured to move between two positions, with one forming a portion of the channel in the duct portion and the other supporting the dust container cover in a closing direction. This mechanism allows for easy opening and closing of the cover for maintenance or disposal of contaminants.

=== What materials are used in the construction of the cleaning apparatus? ===
The patent application does not specify the materials used in the construction of the cleaning apparatus, which could affect its durability, weight, and overall performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a cleaning apparatus includes a cleaner including a dust container in which contaminants are collected and a dust container cover rotatably coupled to the dust container to open or close the dust container, and a docking station on which the cleaner is detachably mounted, the docking station including a collecting portion to collect the contaminants in the dust container in response to the mounting and a duct portion forming a channel to guide the contaminants in the dust container to the collecting portion in response to the mounting; a cover opening device configured to open the dust container cover, and a cover closing device configured to close the dust container cover, the cover closing device including a rotary lever configured to be movable between a first position forming a portion of the channel of the duct portion and a second position supporting the dust container cover in a closing direction.
