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 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.

An autonomous cleaning device, includes: a mobile platform, configured to move autonomously on a cleaning surface; and a cleaning module, disposed on the mobile platform and including: a wet cleaning module, configured to clean at least part of the cleaning surface in a wet cleaning mode; and a lifting structure, connected to the wet cleaning module and configured to enable the wet cleaning module to move upward or downward with respect to the mobile platform; wherein the wet cleaning module includes: a cleaning head configured to clean the cleaning surface; and a driving unit configured to drive the cleaning head to conduct reciprocating movement on a target surface which indicates a part of the cleaning surface.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; and a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, wherein a first opening and a second opening are disposed at the same height in an inner wall of the dust container accommodation part, wherein the dust container includes: an entrance and an exit, disposed side by side along the circumference of the dust container, the entrance and the exit, respectively communicating with the first opening and the second opening when the dust container is accommodated in the dust container accommodation part; and a flow separating part extending downwardly inclined along the inner circumference of the dust container.

A nozzle of a cleaner includes a nozzle housing having a first flow path extending in a left-right direction of the nozzle and a second flow path extending in a front-rear direction of the nozzle; first and second rotation cleaning units disposed behind the first flow path and spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, the second flow path being positioned between the first and second rotation cleaning units, first and second driving motors disposed on opposing sides with respect to a centerline of the second flow path to rotate the first and second rotation cleaning units; mops attached to each of the first and second rotation cleaning units and an axis of the first driving motor and an axis of the second driving motor extend in a non-parallel angle with respect to the centerline of the second flow path.

The present application discloses dust boxes, dust box assemblies and cleaning devices, wherein the dust box assembly includes a dust box and at least two fans. The dust box is formed with a holding cavity, a dust suction port and at least two air outlets, the dust suction port is connected to the holding cavity, the at least two air outlets are connected to the holding cavity. At least two fans are provided corresponding to at least two air outlets for creating an airflow that passes through the dust suction port, the holding chamber and the air outlet in sequence.

A cleaner includes: a body which forms an outer appearance; and a mop module which is detachably connected to the body. The mop module includes: a pair of spin mops which contacts a floor while rotating clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from a top; and a module housing which connects the pair of spin mops. The cleaner may travel autonomously due to the rotation of the spin mops.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a cleaning assembly having forward roller and rearward rollers counter-rotating with respect to each other. The rollers are arranged to substantially maintain a cross sectional area between the two rollers yet permitting collapsing therebetween as large debris is passed. Each roller includes a resilient elastomer outer tube and a partially air-occupied inner resilient core configured to bias the outer tube to rebound. The core includes a hub and resilient spokes extending between the inner surface of the outer tube and the hub. The spokes suspend the outer tube to float about the hub and transfer torque from the hub to the outer tube while allowing the outer tube to momentarily deform or move offset from the hub during impact with debris larger than the cross sectional area between the two rollers.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle main body, a rotation cleaning unit rotatably connected to the nozzle main body, the rotation cleaning unit including a rotation plate provided with a mop, and a water supply flow path configured to supply water from a water tank to the rotation cleaning unit, the water supply flow path having an outlet. The rotation plates includes a central shaft, at least one water passage hole spaced apart from the central shaft in a radial direction to receive water directly from the outlet of the water supply flow path, and a water blocking rib located outside of the water passage hole in the radial direction.

A nozzle for a cleaner has a nozzle main body including an intake channel to suction air. The nozzle includes first and second rotary cleaning units spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction under the nozzle main body. Each of the first and second rotary cleaning units includes a rotary plate coupled to a dust cloth. The nozzle further includes a first driving device to drive the first rotary cleaning unit and a second driving device to drive the second rotary cleaning unit. The nozzle includes a water tank to store water. Further, the nozzle has a water supply channel to supply water in the water tank to the rotary cleaning units. The nozzle has a water pump and a pump motor to drive the water pump to pump the water to the dust cloth.
