The invention relates to a system (1) for automatically cleaning a surface of a floor, comprising a cleaning element (10). The system is arranged for moving the cleaning element relative to the floor between a rest position and a position of use, in which the cleaning element is moveable across the floor surface. The cleaning element (10) is received in the floor in the rest position. The system (1) further comprises a guiding element (20) on which the cleaning element (10) is movable. Adjacent to the guiding element (20) floorplates (100) are arranged such that gutters (102) are defined between the floorplates (100) and the guiding element (20) The invention also relates to a floor provided with the system (10) according to the invention.

The present invention is a machine for treating a surface lying in an XY plane. The machine includes a body having a body plate, a cleaning plate, a cleaning pad, a drive assembly and an attachment assembly. The cleaning plate is located between the body plate and the XY plane. The drive assembly is connected to the cleaning plate to drive the cleaning plate with a cleaning vibration in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY plane and producing a drive force for driving the machine over the XY-plane.

A pad particularly adapted for surface cleaning. The pad includes an absorbent core having the ability to absorb and retain liquid material, and a liner layer in contact with and covering at least one side of the absorbent core. The liner layer has the ability to retain and wick liquid material through the liner layer. Cleaning apparatus containing such pads and methods of using such pads are also described.

The position arrival switch assembly is assembled to the automatic cleaning apparatus, and is configured to indicate whether the automatic cleaning apparatus returns to a predetermined position of a pile body. The position arrival switch assembly includes: a switch component; a button, which is configured to move toward the switch component under the action of an external force; an elastic arm, which extends in a direction away from the button from the face of the button that faces the switch component; and a switch trigger piece, which is connected to the end of the elastic arm that is away from the button, wherein the switch component is configured to send a position arrival signal in response to being triggered by the switch trigger piece.

Disclosed are synchronized multidirectional movement mechanism for cleaning tool and a cleaning tool. The mechanism includes at least one set of movement units and a drive module for driving all the movement units. All the movement units are capable of driving cleaning heads disposed thereon to, driven by the drive module, perform reciprocating movement in different directions between a first position corresponding to an operating state and a second position to a non-operating state of the cleaning heads. Thus, burden caused by carrying more than two types of cleaning tools simultaneously can be avoided by separately providing cleaning heads with different cleaning functions on at least one set of movement units. Meanwhile, the cleaning head in the non-operating state can be driven by the corresponding movement unit to a position relatively compact with a mounting base. Moreover, convenient operation can be achieved by a single drive module.

A robot cleaning system including: a cleaning robot connectable to a mopping module of the cleaning robot, and a base station provided for the cleaning robot to dock, the cleaning robot includes: a main body; a mobile module; and a connection assembly, configured to detachably dispose the mopping module on the body of the robot; the base station includes: a storage module, configured to store at least one mopping module; an operating position, for the cleaning robot to dock to replace the mopping module; and a transfer module, configured to transfer the mopping module between the storage module and the operating position; and the robot cleaning system further includes a control unit. Beneficial effects of the present disclosure are: the cleaning robot is more intelligent, and the corresponding base station is compact in structure and small in occupied area.

Provided is an automatic cleaning device, including: a mobile platform configured to move automatically on an operating surface; and a cleaning module arranged on the mobile platform. The cleaning module includes a dry-cleaning module configured to clean at least a part of the operating surface by means of dry cleaning; and a wet-cleaning module configured to clean at least a part of the operating surface by means of wet cleaning. The wet-cleaning module includes a cleaning head configured to clean the operating surface; and a driving unit configured to drive the cleaning head to substantially reciprocate along a target surface, the target surface being a part of the operating surface. The driving unit includes a driving platform and a supporting platform detachably connected to the driving platform. According to the present disclosure, the pressing structure and the clamping slot structure cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the supporting platform and the driving platform, thereby facilitating repair and maintenance of the cleaning device.
