SELF-PROPELLED VACUUM CLEANER
20210282614 · 2021-09-16 ·

Provided is a self-propelled vacuum cleaner including: a main body including a pair of wheels on left and right sides, main body moving on a floor surface to clean the floor surface; a drive unit that moves or turns the main body; a step detector (a collision sensor, an obstacle sensor, a ranging sensor, and a camera) that detects a step; and a controller that controls a moving unit based on a detection result of the step detector. The controller controls the drive unit to cause the main body to move by selecting a first route on which the step exists in front of both of the wheels, or a second route on which no step exists any of the wheels, when the step exists only in front of one of the pair of wheels. This provides the self-propelled vacuum cleaner capable of increasing reliability of cleaning on the floor surface.

Surface cleaning device with automated suction control

An extractor is provided. The extractor comprises: a base movable along a surface; a handle configured to be gripped by a user to move the base; a nozzle in fluid communication with a suction motor configured to generate a suction airflow through the nozzle; an encoder operable to generate an encoder signal as a first signal based on user-initiated movement of the base along the surface in a forward direction and as a second signal based on movement in a rearward direction; and a controller operatively connected to the encoder and the suction motor, the controller being configured to change a power to the suction motor to a forward power level based on the first signal during operation of the extractor and to a rearward power level based on the second signal during operation of the extractor, wherein the forward power level is less than the rearward power level.

CLEANING ROBOT

The cleaning robot includes a robot body provided with an inner cavity, a travelling mechanism mounted at the bottom of the robot body to drive the robot body to move, a cleaning component detachably connected to the robot body and configured to clean a surface through which the robot body passes, and a laser radar mounted in the inner cavity. A light transmissive window is formed in a side wall of the inner cavity of robot body. The laser radar comprises a ranging component rotatable relative to the robot body. The ranging component emits and receives laser signals via the light transmissive window within a preset scanning angle, wherein the ranging component emits a detection signal through the light transmissive window, the detection signal is reflected upon encountering an obstacle to form a reflected signal, and the reflected signal is returned to the ranging component through the light transmissive window.

AUTONOMOUS FLOOR CLEANER

An autonomous floor cleaner includes a base that is movable over a surface to be cleaned, a top plate coupled with the base, a collection chamber, at least one dirt inlet in communication with the collection chamber, and at least one sweeping element for sweeping dirt on the surface to be cleaned toward the collection chamber.

CLEANER WASHING APPARATUS
20210228043 · 2021-07-29 · ·

A washing apparatus washes a cleaner having a mop unit formed at a lower portion thereof. The washing apparatus includes a tray configured to form a space to receive the cleaner and washing water. A washing unit is disposed at a lower portion of the inside of the tray in contact with the mop unit. The washing unit includes a first spinning mop protrusion line configured to protrude upwardly, an upper end of the first spinning mop protrusion line being inclined downwardly in a first direction.

Floor cleaning apparatus and method of cleaning a floor

An apparatus for cleaning a floor includes a housing, chassis, wheels, motor, steering mechanism, cleaning assembly, optionally a squeegee assembly, and at least one of a side sweeping system, front sweeping system, and pick-up system. The side sweeping system includes a turntable with central axis, a drive wheel disposed in coaxial relationship with the turntable, a sweeper motive device in communication with the drive wheel, a plurality of brushes distributed radially around the drive wheel and adapted to be driven by rotation of the drive wheel, and a pivoting connector configured to enable the side sweeping system to pivot laterally in response to contact with a wall while at least one of the brushes maintains contact with the floor adjacent the wall while the apparatus is in operation, and the brushes move debris disposed on the floor adjacent the wall toward the front of the apparatus.

BASE STATION AND CLEANING ROBOT SYSTEM
20210228044 · 2021-07-29 ·

The present disclosure relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a cleaning robot system. The cleaning robot system includes a base station and a cleaning robot. The base station is independent to the cleaning robot of the cleaning robot system. The base station includes a base station body and a mop member cleaning device arranged on the base station body. The mop member cleaning device is configured to clean a mop member of the cleaning robot. Based on the base station, the cleaning robot system is capable of automatically cleaning the mop member with no need for users to change or clean the mop member frequently, which is helpful to free consumers from house cleaning, thus relieving the burden on the consumers, and also helpful to clean the mop member in time so as to ensure a better effect in next cleaning.
