The present disclosure discloses an automated floor cleaning apparatus, has an automatic cleaning robot and a washing base; the rear end of the robot body of the automatic cleaning robot is provided with a mop mechanism, the mop mechanism comprises a rotation component rotatably connected to the robot body and a crawler-type wiping cloth sleeving outside and rotating along with the rotation component. The invention provides can automatically and effectively removes dirt attached to the crawler-type wiping cloth, avoiding artificial detaching and then cleaning the wiping cloth stained with dirt, automatically performing washing operation, greatly alleviating operation burden of a user, and having a good floor sweeping effect.

The cleaning device includes a water injection member and a mopping cloth cleaning member. The water injection member is configured to wet the mopping cloth of a cleaning robot. The mopping cloth cleaning member which reciprocates up and down to flap the mopping cloth of the cleaning robot, in order to clean the mopping cloth of the cleaning robot.

The present application provides a cleaning base station, including a base, a cleaning tank for cleaning wipers, and a first sewage tank for storing sewage. The cleaning tank is arranged in the base, an entrance is arranged on the base for a cleaning robot to enter the cleaning tank, a side of the base is defined with an opening configured for allowing the cleaning tank to be taken out, and the first sewage tank is connected to the cleaning tank. In the cleaning base station, by connecting the first sewage tank to the cleaning tank, and defining an opening on the side of the base, when cleaning the first sewage tank and the cleaning tank and taking out the cleaning tank from the base, the first sewage tank is disassembled to take out the cleaning tank and the first sewage tank at one time.

The cleaning base station includes a base, and an air supply device. The base is provided with a docking position for docking the cleaning robot and a working groove with a top opening. The mopping member of the cleaning robot is located above the working groove when the cleaning robot is docked at the docking position. The air supply device is arranged on the base. An output end of the air supply device is connected to at least one air outlet arranged in the working groove. The airflow is sent into the working groove from at least one direction and is conveyed to the top opening of the working groove to blow to the mopping member.

A method for cleaning the mop of a cleaning robot includes: obtaining mop usage information after the cleaning robot carries the mop to clean the floor, and selecting a target mop cleaning mode to clean the mop according to the mop usage information.

A multifunctional mopping machine includes a handle, a body and a main machine. The body includes a mounting base, and a housing provided with a cleaning assembly; the body is detachably connected to the mounting base; the main machine includes a negative pressure assembly and a power supply assembly; the power supply assembly, the negative pressure assembly and the cleaning assembly form a cleaning mechanism; and a water tank for supplying water to the cleaning assembly, and a sodium hypochlorite electrolysis generator are arranged on the mounting base. An ultraviolet sterilizing lamp facing the ground to be cleaned is arranged on the housing. A tail end of a dust collecting hose communicates with a negative pressure end of the main machine, and collects both dirty water and dust on the floor, so as to ensure no stain left on the floor, satisfying present floor washing requirements.

A fluid suction device includes an elongate handle having a suction head at its distal end. The suction head extends in opposing directions substantially perpendicularly to the handle. The suction head includes an elongate longitudinal aperture in its outer wall in fluid communication with a suction pump. An absorbent panel covers the longitudinal aperture. When the suction head is applied to a spilled fluid, the wicking action of the absorbent panel and the negative air pressure from the suction pump allows rapid and efficient cleaning of an area affected by a fluid spill. The device also allows for safe and efficient removal of potentially dangerous objects such as broken glass. The device collects fluid in a waste reservoir so that it is easily disposed of.

The cleaning control method for a cleaning robot includes: the base station performs a round of cleaning on a cleaning component of the cleaning robot according to a set cleaning strategy; the base station detects a dirtiness of the sewage after cleaning after completing a round of cleaning, to obtain a detection result; and the base station performs a next round of cleaning control on the cleaning robot according to the detection result.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.

A docking method executable by a mobile device is provided. The docking method includes obtaining a stored target location of a docking station, and navigating to the target location. The docking method also includes: during the navigation and/or at the target location, based on a determination that a guidance signal is not detected, performing a regional search. The docking method also includes: during the navigation, or at the target location, or during the regional search, based on a determination that the guidance signal is detected, moving, under the guidance of the guidance signal, to the docking station. Performing the regional search includes determining a basic search zone, searching for the guidance signal while moving along boundaries of the basic search zone, and based on a determination that the guidance signal has not been detected when a termination condition is satisfied, terminating the regional search.
