Provided is an outlet unit (50) for a cyclonic separator (18) of a vacuum cleaner. The outlet unit includes a hollow body (52), which hollow body has an interior surface (54) delimiting an air outlet conduit (56), and a first exterior surface (58). An air outlet (60) is defined in the hollow body to permit an airflow to enter the air outlet conduit. The first exterior surface is configured to permit the airflow to rotate around a first perimeter of the first exterior surface as the airflow flows along the hollow body towards the air outlet. The outlet unit also includes an extension portion (62) extending from the hollow body. The extension portion has a second exterior surface (64), with at least one helical rib (74) protruding from the second exterior surface.

Provided is an air-cooling device (10) comprising an absorbent medium (12) configured to absorb a liquid, and an agitator (14) for contacting a surface of the absorbent medium. The absorbent medium and the agitator are moveable relative to each other to cause the agitator to agitate the surface of the absorbent medium and thereby release droplets of the liquid from the absorbent medium. Once released from the absorbent medium, the droplets of the liquid can evaporate to cool air.

The present invention relates to a cleaning assembly, a self-cleaning method for the cleaning assembly, and an electrical device. The cleaning assembly includes a drum; a scraping plate, abutting a cylindrical surface of the drum on a side; a drum cover, connected to the scraping plate and surrounding the drum; a liquid collection chamber, where a part of the cylindrical surface, the scraping plate, and the drum cover enclose the liquid collection chamber; a liquid supply channel, communicating with the liquid collection chamber and configured for pouring a cleaning liquid into the liquid collection chamber or onto a surface of the drum; and a liquid discharge mechanism, communicating with the liquid collection chamber and configured to allow the liquid in the liquid collection chamber to be discharged. The cleaning assembly is configured to: close the liquid discharge mechanism during a drum self-cleaning operation, such that the cleaning liquid accumulates in the liquid collection chamber without being discharged; and use the accumulated cleaning liquid to clean the drum when the drum is driven to rotate towards the scraping plate. In this manner, the electrical device does not need to return to a base station, improving the cleaning effect of the drum and saving time.

The invention relates to a telescopic pole assembly (100), comprising a lower pole (101) and an upper pole (102), the upper pole being adapted to slide inside the lower pole to form a telescopic coupling in-between. The telescopic pole assembly 100 also comprises a locking unit (103) attached to an upper part (101b) of the lower pole. The locking unit comprises an upper part (103b) forming a sleeve (104) adapted to receive the upper pole and to create a sliding coupling between the sleeve and the upper pole. The locking unit comprises a lateral opening (105) being arranged in the sleeve and opening onto the upper pole. The telescopic pole assembly 100 also comprises a pusher element (106) mounted slidable in the lateral opening, to come into contact with the upper pole when the upper pole is inserted in the sleeve. The telescopic pole assembly 100 also comprises a knob (107) mounted rotating on the locking unit around an axis of rotation (A1) being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (A2) of the lower and upper poles. The knob comprising a rear face (107R) on which is arranged a protruding slope (107P), the protruding slope being adapted to exert a force (F) onto the pusher element when the knob is rotated around said axis of rotation.

The invention relates to a steam generator (SG) comprising an ironing plate (IP) comprising at least one steam vent (SV). The ironing plate comprises an external surface (IP_ES) intended to get into contact with a garment, and an internal surface (IP_IS) being opposite the external surface. The ironing plate defines a planar ironing surface (xy). The steam generator also comprises a steam input (IN) for receiving an input steam flow (F1). The steam generator also comprises a first cyclonic chamber (CC1) comprising a steam inlet (CC1_I) and a steam outlet (CC1_O). The steam inlet of the first cyclonic chamber is fluidly connected to the steam input to receive the input steam flow (F1). The first cyclonic chamber acts as a fluid separator. The steam generator also comprises a steam engine (SE) comprising at least one steam inlet (LP_I1, LP_I2) and at least one steam outlet (LP_O1, LP_O2).
