Patent number: 11812918Abstract: A bag-based filtering device for collecting debris from a cleaning robot via a debris evacuation station includes a filter bag configured to separate at least the portion of the evacuated debris from a flow of air generated by the evacuation station. The filtering device includes a conduit extending inward from an opening of the filter bag into the receptacle. The conduit is configured to pneumatically connect a receptacle of the filtering device with an inlet of the filtering device to direct the flow of air generated by the evacuation station through the filter bag to separate at least the portion of the evacuated debris from the flow of air.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: iRobot CorporationInventors: Andrew Vincent Wolff, Ellen B. Cargill, Douglas Dell'Accio, Jason Jeffrey Suchman, Flavia Pastore
