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 present application provides a docking station including a cleaning system disposed in a base thereof. The cleaning system includes a cutting chamber, an upper end cover, and a lower end cover; and the cutting chamber is configured to receive a to-be-cleaned object, and the upper end cover is detachably connected to an upper end of the cutting chamber; the lower end cover is disposed at a lower end of the cutting chamber and rotatably connected with the cutting chamber; the to-be-cleaned object is detachably fixed to the lower end cover; and a blade assembly configured to clean the to-be-cleaned object is provided at an inner wall of the cutting chamber. The docking station may clean the to-be-cleaned object, such as a roller brush of a robot cleaner, while charging the robot cleaner, which provides an auxiliary function, extends the applicability and is more convenient for home use.

A cleaning robot system including a robot and a robot maintenance station. The robot includes a robot body, a drive system, a cleaning assembly, and a cleaning bin carried by the robot body and configured to receive debris agitated by the cleaning assembly. The robot maintenance station includes a station housing configured to receive the robot for maintenance. The station housing has an evacuation passageway exposed to a top portion of the received robot. The robot maintenance station also includes an air mover in pneumatic communication with the evacuation passageway and a collection bin carried by the station housing and in pneumatic communication with the evacuation passageway. The station housing and the robot body fluidly connect the evacuation passageway to the cleaning bin of the received robot. The air mover evacuates debris held in the robot cleaning bin to the collection bin through the evacuation passageway.

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 cleaning system is provided. The cleaning system includes a robot cleaner and a station. The robot cleaner includes a pad fixing part on which a cleaning pad is detachably mounted, a lifter to lift a part of the robot cleaner at which the pad fixing part is positioned, and a pad detacher to detach the cleaning pad mounted on the pad fixing part. The station includes a pad storage box in which a cleaning pad that is to be provided to the robot cleaner is stored, a pad coupling part on which a cleaning pad that is to be coupled to the robot cleaner is rested, and a pad supplier to supply the cleaning pad stored in the pad storage box to the pad coupling part.

A system for autonomously cleaning a floor has a robot having a chassis. A clean water tank and a dirty water tank are disposed within the chassis. A valve in fluid communication with the dirty water tank receives dirty water from a cleaning surface during a cleaning operation. A docking station has a platform. A docking station drain communicates with the valve for receiving contents of the dirty water tank when the robot is in the docking station. A water source communicates with the clean water tank to fill the clean water tank when the robot is in the docking station. A charging structure charges the robot when the robot is in the docking station.

An integrated and modular air and lighting plenum that is the primary directional lighting mounting apparatus and laminar flow diffuser of an HVAC system in a healthcare setting. The plenum provides laminar air flow from the ceiling to the room in which it is located in accordance with HVAC requirements for healthcare environment settings, by using a plurality of cylindrical airflow outlets. The use of cylindrical airflow outlets promotes laminar airflow by reducing sharp boundaries that induce turbulence (e.g., the corners of rectangular or square outlets) and creates a highly sterile environment around the patient and staff in the operating room. The surgical lights used in the integrated air and lighting plenum allow the beam direction, spot size, focal point, brightness, and color temperature of the emitted light to be controlled.

A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient includes a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table and a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections. At least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections includes a power connector for connection to an external power source. Each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads includes a foam insulation layer, a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector, an isothermal layer, and a flexible waterproof layer. Power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad can be used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.

A docking station for a robotic vacuum cleaner may include a docking unit having a traveling path for the robotic vacuum cleaner to enter the docking station and travel to a mopping cloth attachment position where a mopping cloth is attachable to the vacuum cleaner. The docking station also includes a mopping cloth supply unit disposed above the docking unit and configured to receive a plurality of mopping cloths, and the plurality of mopping cloths are side by side along a horizontal direction. The mopping cloth supply unit may include a mopping cloth transporting unit that are configured so that the mopping cloth transporting unit sequentially transports each mopping cloth of the plurality of mopping cloths received by the mopping cloth supply unit along the horizontal direction to an outlet to be discharged through the outlet to the mopping cloth attachment position.
