A fan (13f) and a motor (13m) are housed in the motor chamber. A cleaner head (20) is pivotably and fluidly connected to the main-body part and suctions air through a suction opening (23) when a suction force is generated by the fan and the motor in the motor chamber. A straight suction passageway (24) extends through a central portion of the interior of the cleaner head in plan view. One or more batteries (50) is/are disposed within the cleaner head spaced apart (outward) from the suction passageway in the plan view.

Abstract: Provided is an actuator including: a casing; and a cable driving part including a rotation member connected to a cable. The cable driving part moves the cable forward and backward by rotating the rotation member with a force of a motor based on an operation signal. The cable extends from a water flow direction changing part and is inserted into the casing. The water flow direction changing part changes a direction of a water flow to be ejected. The operation signal is an operation signal for operating the water flow direction changing part.

Abstract: A backpack dust collector includes a housing, a slit portion, and a noise-absorbing member. The housing includes a suction port, a dust collecting chamber, a motor chamber, and an exhaust port.
