A brush system utilizable with a floor-cleaning machine includes brush head, a coupler, and a riser, wherein the coupler is a flexible coupler for adjusting the position of the riser relative to the brush head. The brush head essentially comprises a bristled pad that may be peeled off a floor machine pad driver.

A nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing that has a suction flow path that allows air containing dust to flow therethrough. The nozzle also includes a driving device including a driving motor. Further the nozzle includes a rotation cleaning unit including a rotation plate which is connected to the driving device at a lower side of the nozzle housing. The nozzle also includes a mop attached to a lower side of the rotation plate. In addition, the nozzle includes a water tank mounted on an upper side of the nozzle housing and configured to store water. The water tank is separable from the nozzle housing. An upper side wall of the water tank forms an upper surface of the nozzle when the water tank is mounted on the nozzle housing, and a portion of a bottom wall of the water tank is configured to surround the driving device.

Provided are a cleaner having a circulation system of collecting water used in damp cloth, filtering the same, and supplying the filtered water to the cloth, and a control method thereof. The cleaner includes a storage unit storing water, a collecting unit intaking water used in a cloth and introducing intaken water to an upper side of the storage unit, a filter unit filtering water collected by the collecting unit, a water supply unit allowing water within the storage unit to flow out from a lower portion of the storage unit so as to be supplied to the cloth, a vacuum motor operated to cause water to be intaken to the storage unit through the collecting unit, and a pump operate to allow water to be transferred through the water supply unit.

The present disclosure relates controlling a robot cleaner that moves based on a rotation of a spin mop. The controlling the robot cleaner includes determining a control command; operating the spin mop and performing a reference motion by the robot cleaner; detecting a movement of the robot cleaner which performs a reference motion by a motion detection sensor; and controlling travel of the robot cleaner to achieve the control command.

Disclosed is a robot cleaner including: a main body forming an outer shape; a pair of rotary mops moving the main body while rotating in contact with a floor; a drive motor rotating the pair of rotary mops; a pump connected to a water tank and driving a nozzle for spraying water to the rotary mop; and a controller for determining water content of the rotary mop in a preliminary step before wet cleaning, and controlling to start the wet cleaning after driving the pump until the water content of the rotary mop satisfy a certain level. Accordingly, it is possible to detect a change in the output current of the motor of the rotary mop of the robot cleaner and determine the water content according to the change in the current value.

An autonomous apparatus, such as an autonomous robot, maintains wood decks by automatically cleaning and staining the deck while traversing the deck in a manner so that the cleaning and staining is performed in accordance with an organized navigation pattern along the deck boards.

Disclosed is a robot system including: a robot cleaner configured to perform wet cleaning in a cleaning zone; a server configured to communicate with the robot cleaner and perform control of the robot cleaner; and a user terminal configured to be in association with the robot cleaner, and control the robot cleaner as an application for the control of the robot cleaner is activated, wherein the robot cleaner includes: a main body configured to form an outer shape; a pair of rotary mop modules configured to be rotatably installed in the main body, move the main body while rotating, and have a mop cloth attached to a rotating plate of a lower portion; a drive motor configured to rotate the pair of rotary mop modules; a mop detecting unit configured to detect an error state of the mop cloth attached to the rotating plate and output a detection signal; and a controller configured to determine the error state of the mop cloth according to the detection signal from the mop detecting unit, and control driving of the rotary mop module.

Disclosed is a mobile robot including a body, a rotating plate rotatably installed on the body and having a lower surface where a mop portion is attached, and an attachment guider installed on the lower surface of the rotating plate to guide an attachment position of the mop portion. The attachment guider includes a guide rim and a plurality of elastic pieces. The guide rim is disposed to surround a rotation axis of the rotating plate. The plurality of elastic pieces extend from the guide rim in a direction toward the rotation axis, have a free end protruding to a lower side or downward than the guide rim, and are spaced apart from each other along a circumference of the guide rim.

An autonomous floor cleaner can include a brush chamber, a brushroll rotatably mounted in the brush chamber, a controller adapted to control the operation of the autonomous floor cleaner, and a fluid delivery system with a supply tank and at least one fluid distributor configured to deposit cleaning fluid onto a surface to be cleaned.

An orbital single-brush machine that comprises a chassis which is configured to rest on the floor and is provided with at least one movement handle. The chassis is connected to a motor which is adapted to actuate with combined rotary and orbital motion a work tool that acts on the floor; the chassis comprises a first footing, which is at least partially substantially plate-shaped and is spaced apart from the floor, and a second footing, which is at least partially substantially plate-shaped, supports the motor and is arranged below the first footing, and is supported so that it can rotate freely by the first footing about an oscillation axis which is substantially parallel to the floor and substantially perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the machine. Shock absorbing means are provided which act between at least one portion of the first footing and at least one portion of the second footing.
