A surface-cleaning machine is provided, which includes an appliance body on which a suction apparatus device is arranged, a cleaning head on which at least one cleaning roller is arranged, and a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, wherein the cleaning head has, between a first face side and an oppositely situated second face side, a first region, a second region and a central region situated between the first and second regions, and wherein at least one first suction mouth is positioned at the first region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller and at least one second suction mouth is positioned at the second region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller, wherein the at least one first suction mouth and the at least one second suction mouth are fluidically connected to the suction apparatus device.

A surface-cleaning machine is provided, including an appliance body on which a suction apparatus device is arranged, a cleaning head on which at least one cleaning roller is arranged and on which there is positioned at least one suction mouth, which is fluidically connected to the suction apparatus device and is associated with the at least one cleaning roller, and a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, wherein a drive axis of a drive motor of the drive device and an axis of rotation of the at least one cleaning roller are oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly with respect to one another.

A surface cleaning machine including at least one cleaning roller, a drive device for rotary driving of the at least one cleaning roller, a wetting device for applying cleaning liquid to the at least one cleaning roller, and a suction unit arrangement for generating a suction stream is provided. The suction unit arrangement is fluidically connected to at least one suction duct and at least one suction nozzle that is associated with the at least one cleaning roller. The wetting device includes at least one pressure-controlled switch that opens a fluid path for cleaning liquid to the at least one cleaning roller and shuts off the fluid path, and the at least one pressure-controlled switch is coupled to the at least one suction duct, wherein a suction stream in the at least one suction duct moves the pressure-controlled switch into the open position and/or maintains the open position.

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning roller holder, a cleaning roller that is arranged on the cleaning roller holder, a drive device for rotary driving of the cleaning roller, and a sweeping element that is associated with the cleaning roller and supplies swept material to the cleaning roller, wherein the sweeping element is arranged rotatably on the cleaning roller holder.

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.

A surface cleaning apparatus includes a heated vapor generator for generating steam and a supply tank for containing a supply of fluid. A liquid conduit that is in fluid communication with the supply tank is in heat exchange relationship with a vapor conduit that is in fluid communication with the heated vapor generator.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a triggerless extractor surface cleaning device for cleaning a surface in which a cleaning solution is distributed to the surface and extracted using suction along with dirt and/or debris on the surface in a continuous operation as the extractor moves along the surface. The extractor further comprises an encoder positioned adjacent a wheel of the extractor for detecting a rotational direction and speed of the wheel to generate a signal. Based on receiving the signal, a controller controls operation of a valve to situationally distribute the cleaning solution to the surface depending on a forward rotation of the wheel and independent of user actuation of a trigger positioned on a handle used to propel the extractor along the surface. Distribution of the cleaning solution can be further optimized based on the detected rotational speed of the wheel.

A floor cleaning machine is provided, including a floor head, and at least one cleaning roller, which is arranged on the floor head and rotates about an axis of rotation in a cleaning operation, wherein the at least one cleaning roller has a textile covering, wherein arranged on the floor head is at least one pin strip with a plurality of pins for picking up hair, and wherein the pins abut against the textile covering or penetrate into the textile covering.

A cleaning apparatus for a cleaner robot is provided and includes a main body. An accommodation cavity is formed inside the main body. The cleaning apparatus further includes a water spraying device and a sweeping roller, the water spraying device is disposed in the accommodation cavity and detachably connected with the accommodation cavity, and the sweeping roller is disposed in the accommodation cavity and detachably connected with the accommodation cavity. A water squeezing rod is arranged between the sweeping roller and the accommodation cavity. The main body is further disposed with a sewage recovery device detachably connected therewith. The sewage recovery device includes a sewage sink disposed at an inner side of the sweeping roller, and the sewage sink abuts against the inner side. The main body is further disposed with a driving device for driving the sweeping roller to rotate.
