A cleaning appliance includes: a main body with a bottom side, the main body being assigned on the bottom side, which faces toward a floor to be cleaned, at least one cleaning body, the at least one cleaning body being mounted on the main body so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of the cleaning body being oriented perpendicularly to the bottom side. The at least one cleaning body is mounted in the main body such that, during cleaning, the axis of rotation is movable relative to the bottom side along a movement path which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a robot cleaner including a pair of rotary plates having lower sides to which mops facing a floor surface are coupled, the robot cleaner being configured to move by rotating the pair of rotary plates, the method including: a region setting step of setting a cleaning region on the floor surface; and a movement step of moving the robot cleaner in the cleaning region, in which the region setting step divides the cleaning region into a plurality of divided regions, and the plurality of divided regions at least partially overlaps one another, such that it is possible to clean an entire cleaning region and repeatedly clean a particular region.

A cleaning assembly for a cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning assembly includes a motor, a transmission mechanism coupled with the motor, and a cleaning device comprising a shaft having a first gear coupled with the transmission mechanism and a cleaning module mounted to an end of the shaft. The transmission mechanism is configured to drive the shaft to rotate through the first gear. The shaft is configured to move axially. The cleaning module is configured to clean a surface area.

A surface treatment robot includes a chassis having forward and rear ends and a drive system carried by the chassis. The drive system includes right and left driven wheels and is configured to maneuver the robot over a cleaning surface. The robot includes a vacuum assembly, a collection volume, a supply volume, an applicator, and a wetting element, each carried by the chassis. The wetting element engages the cleaning surface to distribute a cleaning liquid applied to the surface by the applicator. The wetting element distributes the cleaning liquid along at least a portion of the cleaning surface when the robot is driven in a forward direction. The wetting element is arranged substantially forward of a transverse axis defined by the right and left driven wheels, and the wetting element slidably supports at least about ten percent of the mass of the robot above the cleaning surface.

A floor cleaner including a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, a suction nozzle provided on the base having a suction inlet, a body portion having a fluid dispensing member selectively removable from the body portion, the body portion being pivotally mounted to the base movable between an upright storage position and an inclined floor cleaning position, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, and a reservoir configured to provide solution. The fluid dispensing member includes a grip, a dispensing nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir, and an actuator. The fluid dispensing member is configured to deliver solution from the reservoir through the dispensing nozzle upon user actuation of the actuator, independent of function of the base and body of the floor cleaner.

The present disclosure relates to an automatic cleaning device and a sweeping assembly thereof. The sweeping assembly includes: a brush holder, a brush body disposed at least partially in the brush holder; and an anti-winding structure. The anti-winding structure is located at a joint of the brush body and the brush holder, where the anti-winding structure is configured to at least partially fill a gap at the joint when the sweeping assembly is in a working state.
