The present disclosure relates to a wrap element for attaching to a cleaning device. The wrap element may include a sheet of barrier material. The sheet may include first and second edges extending along the sheet in a longitudinal direction. Third and fourth edges may extend along the sheet in a direction orthogonal to the first and second edges. A folded over portion may extend in the longitudinal direction along a majority of the first edge. Fasteners may be disposed on the sheet, such as nearer the third edge than the fourth edge and may extend in the direction orthogonal to the first edge along a majority of the third edge. The fasteners may allow the sheet of barrier material to removably connect to itself. A fit indicator may extend in the longitudinal direction along a majority of the first edge.

A dust scraping device for a cleaning apparatus includes a dust cup and a removable cyclone separation unit arranged in the dust cup. The dust scraping device includes a dust scraping member. The dust scraping member has a connection portion extending in a removal direction of the cyclone separation unit, and a dust scraping portion extending to an interior of the dust cup in a direction perpendicular to the removal direction and slidably abutting against the cyclone separation unit. The dust scraping device is mounted at the dust cup, and the dust scraping portion scrapes off at least part of debris on an outer side of the cyclone separation unit when the cyclone separation unit is removed from the dust cup.

A cleaning apparatus may include at least one isolator configured to absorb mechanical vibration generated by contact between an agitator and a combining unit to reduce noise and/or vibration. The isolator may include at least one combing isolator disposed at least partially between the combing unit and the surface cleaning head. Alternatively (or in addition), the isolator may include a panel isolator disposed at least partially between a housing of the cleaning apparatus and a panel.

The present invention relates to a robotic cleaner comprising: a cleaner body which has a plurality of guide holders provided therein and performs self-driving; and a suction nozzle which receives an agitator therein, has guide protrusions longitudinally protruding from both sidewalls thereof toward the plurality of guide holders and received in the plurality of guide holders, respectively, and is up-and-down movably and back-and-forth swingably mounted to the cleaner body, whereby the driving performance and cleaning performance of the cleaner can be improved.

A method of controlling a moving robot is provided. The method of controlling a moving robot includes the steps of: (a) performing a basic motion of the moving robot which moves on a rotating mop; (b) measuring the slip rate of the moving robot; and (c) controlling the travel of the moving robot.

A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a drive wheel, and a plurality of skids. The drive wheel can be connected to the body and can be engageable with a floor surface of an environment. The drive wheel can be operable to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment. The skids can be separate skids that can be connected to the body and can be engageable with the floor surface to support, together with the drive wheel, the mobile cleaning robot with respect to the floor surface.

A mobile cleaning robot can include a body and a cleaning assembly. The body can include a suction duct. The cleaning assembly can be operable to ingest debris from a surface of an environment. The cleaning assembly can include a dustpan engageable with the surface to direct debris toward the suction duct. The dust pan can be movable with respect to the body.

A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a drive wheel, and a wheel stop. The drive wheel can be connected to the body and can be operable to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment. The wheel stop can be movable with respect to the body and the drive wheel between a stop position and a release position. The wheel stop can be engageable with the drive wheel in the stop position to limit vertical travel of the drive wheel with respect to the body.

A surface cleaning apparatus is disclosed having a forward portion and a rearward portion. The forward portion has a dirty air inlet, a front side, a rear side and a forward bridging section, the forward bridging section having a rearwardly extending air flow passage that is downstream from the dirty air inlet. The rearward portion positioned rearward of the forward portion, the rearward portion comprising a front side, a rearward side, a rearward bridging section, a lower planar surface, an upper surface and an up flow duct, the rearward bridging section being spaced rearward of the front side of the rearward portion. The rear side of the forward portion is spaced from and faces the front side of the rearward portion and the forward bridging section is connected to the rearward bridging section.
