A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a base assembly, an upright assembly, and a fluid recovery system. The base assembly includes a base housing, a brush chamber, at least one brushroll in the brush chamber; and a removable brush housing. A portion of the brush chamber is removable with the brush housing.

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.

The present disclosure provides a charging module with a moisture-proof pad and a cleaning system. The charging module is used for charging a cleaning device. The charging module includes a moisture-proof pad, a charging means and at least an adhesive sheet. The moisture-proof pad is used for disposing the cleaning device thereon. The charging means is disposed on the moisture-proof pad for charging the cleaning device. The adhesive sheet is disposed on a lower surface of the moisture-proof pad for adhering the moisture-proof pad to a surface. The adhesive sheet is disposed on the lower surface of the moisture-proof pad. The manufacturing method of the present disclosure is simple with low cost, and can reduce the problem that the moisture-proof pad of the charging module cannot be smoothly attached to the floor.

A driving mechanism for an autonomous planar surface cleaning robot is disclosed. The driving mechanism includes a first transmission component and a second transmission component spaced apart in parallel relationship relative to the first transmission component. Each of the first and second transmission components defines first and second ends and first and second sides, wherein the first sides face each other and the second sides face away from each other in a direction transverse from the direction of motion and the first and second ends are oppositely spaced along the direction of motion. Each of the first and second transmission components are independently controllable by a control unit of the autonomous planar surface cleaning robot.

A floor maintenance system can employ one or more autonomous assemblies that evaluate, characterize, and optimize a floor. A floor maintenance device can have one or more sensors connected to a local controller and a mapping circuit. The mapping circuit may be configured to change from a first floor detection resolution to a different second floor detection resolution in response to a detected floor condition.

A handheld extractor that includes a housing, a supply tank adjacent a first side of the housing, and a recovery tank adjacent a second side of the housing. A cleaning chamber is in the third side of the housing. A fluid flow path is between the supply tank and the cleaning chamber. The cleaning chamber receives a suction nozzle and a suction source provides suction through a hose and the second fluid flow path to extract the cleaning fluid from the supply tank, along the fluid flow path into the cleaning chamber, through the hose and into the recovery tank to flush the cleaning fluid through the hose to clean the hose when the suction nozzle is received in the cleaning chamber.

The present disclosure provides, in one aspect, a debris collection device for an autonomous cleaning robot includes a cleaning pad portion configured to contact a floor surface. The cleaning pad portion includes a backing and at least one cleaning pad connected to a bottom surface of the backing. The autonomous cleaning robot includes a vacuum bag portion configured to collect at least a portion of debris removed from the floor surface by a vacuum assembly of the autonomous cleaning robot. A volume of the vacuum bag portion is positioned vertically above the cleaning pad portion.

A surface cleaning apparatus such as an extractor has a fluid flow path extending from a dirty fluid inlet head to a clean air outlet. The fluid flow path upstream of the separation stage comprises a removable portion.

Hot plate cleaner for floors including a handgrip, a handle, a tank for water, a main body shaped as a brush, a heating plate below the brush and a thermostat, and cleaning fabrics for the floor hooked below a sealing frame, adapted to be hooked and unhooked below the brush, with the interposition of a sandwich panel maintained in contact with the heating plate having a layer of polyurethane foam, placed between two polyester fabrics, and a waterproof element applied to the panel to let the water flow from the tank scatter on the sandwich panel to dampen it so to act as a tank in order to reach the same temperature as the heating plate and keep it unchanged until the panel dries and transmit the same temperature to the cleaning fabric.
