The scraping board, an inner wall of the opening cavity, and the roller brush assembly cooperatively enclose to form a negative pressure cavity communicating with the dustbin, and a suction nozzle communicating with the negative pressure cavity is formed between an inner side of the scraping board and the roller brush assembly.

A robot cleaner includes a main body, a moving unit for moving the main body, a cleaning module capable of being brought into contact with a floor surface at at least part of a lower surface thereof, and a module drive unit for controlling an angle of inclination of the lower surface of the cleaning module with respect to the floor surface.

A pneumatic vacuum, cleaner includes an external body shell having an internal chamber defined therein and a dustbin carried within the internal chamber of the external body shell. The cleaner also includes an impeller housing positioned below the dustbin and having an inlet coupled to the dustbin. In addition, the cleaner includes an impeller within the impeller housing and is configured to pressurize air exiting the impeller housing. A manifold is mounted to the impeller housing and includes a plurality of air nozzles configured to direct air downward and away from the manifold to entrain debris into the air and simultaneously use the pressurized air to lift the cleaner. A concentric passageway is formed adjacent an inside surface of the external body shell and is configured to recirculate the pressurized air from the plurality of air nozzles back to the dustbin and the impeller housing via the concentric passageway.

A cleaning unit for cleaning floors comprising a drivetrain, a main controller, a safety module, and one or more cleaning aggregates for cleaning a floor upon which the cleaning unit moves. The main controller may operate the cleaning unit in one of an autonomous mode in which cleaning unit autonomously navigates while cleaning the floor or a manual mode in which the cleaning unit is maneuverable under an applied external force while cleaning the floor. The safety module may be responsive to a plurality of safety inputs such that if a safety input indicates an unsafe condition, the safety module initiates a lockout to stop movement by the cleaning unit. In the autonomous mode, the safety module may be responsive to a first set of safety inputs and in the manual operating mode, the safety module may be responsive to a second set of safety inputs.

A suction nozzle includes a nozzle body including a suction port. The suction nozzle also includes a rotary cleaning unit rotatably mounted in the nozzle body and having a cleaning element for cleaning a floor. Additionally, the suction nozzle includes an anti-winder mounted on the nozzle body and having a plurality of contact parts that overlap a side end of the cleaning element along at least a portion of a rotational path followed by the cleaning element of the rotary cleaning unit when the rotary cleaning unit is rotated.

A dusting device for a cleaning machine, being capable of detachably assembled to a bottom of the cleaning machine, includes at least a first rotary disc, a second rotary disc, an idler pulley, a driving rope unit, and dusting elements respectively attached to the first and second rotary discs. The driving rope unit is movably disposed on the first rotary disc, the idler pulley, and the second rotary disc. The first rotary disc is driven to rotate by a motor installed in the cleaning machine, and the idle pulley is driven to rotate by the driving rope unit and the first rotary disc, so as to further drive the second rotary disc to rotate in conjunction with the first rotary disc, whereby enabling the dusting elements to rotate to dust and clean a surface to be cleaned.

A cleaning tool includes: an adhesive portion that adsorbs an object to be adsorbed and a film portion that includes the adhesive portion. The film portion includes a hole portion which expands in accordance with an external force applied to the film portion. The adhesive portion is exposed to the outside of the film portion via the hole portion in a case where the external force equal to or greater than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the film portion.

A cleaning wheel structure, which mainly comprises a cleaning unit, a universal joint and an elastic element, wherein the cleaning unit comprises a plurality of clamping jaws disposed around the circumference of the shaft thereof, and each of the clamping jaws has a positioning groove, the universal joint is disposed between the plurality of clamping jaws, the elastic element is disposed between the universal joint and the cleaning unit, wherein the outer surface of the universal joint is convexly provided with a positioning portion for embedding with the positioning grooves, with the above structure, when the cleaning unit is stuck and cannot be driven to rotate by the universal joint, the positioning portion repeatedly pushes each of clamping jaws outwardly to rotate and to be embedded in the next positioning groove, so that the universal joint no longer drives the cleaning unit.

Described herein are an autonomous household appliance (112) configured for performing at least one household task, a household system (110), a method (130) for temporarily augmenting the functionality of an autonomous household appliance (112), and a computer program. The autonomous household appliance (112) includes at least one task unit (116) arranged for performing the household task and an interface element (118) having at least one wire-bound coupling means (120), where the interface element (118) is configured for releasably and temporarily coupling the autonomous household appliance (112) to at least one smart device (114), where the autonomous household appliance (112) is configured for accessing at least one sensor device (122) of the at least one smart device (114) via the interface element (118) and for making use of at least one item of sensor information retrieved by the sensor device (122) when performing the household task.

A suction nozzle apparatus and a cleaner having the same includes a casing of which a mounting groove is formed in a bottom surface, a drum brush rotatably coupled to the mounting groove of the casing, and a cutting member configured to remove a foreign substance wound around the drum brush. The drum brush includes a drum core in which at least one foreign substance collecting groove that the foreign substance is wound is formed in an outer circumference and a blade formed in a spiral form in the outer circumference of the drum core.
