A floor cleaning machine includes a housing having a front end and a rear end, and a rotary brush coupled to the housing for rotation with respect to the housing. A collection bin is configured to receive debris from the rotary brush and a debris intake is in fluid communication with the collection bin. A motor rotates the rotary brush, and a power source supplies power to the motor. A suction source is in fluid communication with the collection bin to draw debris into the debris intake and to direct the debris into the collection bin. A projection is positioned adjacent the rotary brush and the debris intake engage bristles of the rotary brush to dislodge debris from the bristles, so that the suction source is configured to draw debris dislodged from the bristles of the rotary brush into the debris intake.

A nozzle for a cleaner has a nozzle main body including an intake channel to suction air. The nozzle includes first and second rotary cleaning units spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction under the nozzle main body. Each of the first and second rotary cleaning units includes a rotary plate coupled to a dust cloth. The nozzle further includes a first driving device to drive the first rotary cleaning unit and a second driving device to drive the second rotary cleaning unit. The nozzle includes a water tank to store water. Further, the nozzle has a water supply channel to supply water in the water tank to the rotary cleaning units. The nozzle has a water pump and a pump motor to drive the water pump to pump the water to the dust cloth.

A robot cleaner may have a body, a mop, and a tank to supply water to the mop. The tank may be magnetically coupled to the body via at least one magnet and be physically coupled to the body via a groove and a protrusion The protrusion may be a bent rib extending from the tank to couple to a groove in the body, or the protrusion may be a stopper attached to a spring attached to the body and coupling with a groove in the tank. The at least one magnet may be provided at a first side with respect to a left-right center, and the protrusion and groove may be provided at a second side opposite the first side. To remove the tank from the body, the tank may be pulled near the magnet to detach the tank at the magnet, and the tank may be rotated at a point on the second side.

The present disclosure provides a cleaning assembly including a cleaning performing device. The cleaning performing device includes a cleaning module configured to clean a surface and a cleaning driving module configured to drive the cleaning module to move relative to the surface, a driving device configured to drive the cleaning performing device to be lifted or lowered, and a constraining structure configured to constrain a lifting or lowering trajectory of the cleaning performing device. The present disclosure further provides a cleaning apparatus. The cleaning performing device can be lifted or lowered according to an actual need, such that improves an adaptability of the cleaning apparatus. Further, the lifting or lowering trajectory of the cleaning performing device can be constrained by the constraining structure, such that improves a stability of the cleaning apparatus during moving up and down.

A cleaning assembly for a cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning assembly includes a motor, a transmission mechanism coupled with the motor, and a cleaning device comprising a shaft having a first gear coupled with the transmission mechanism and a cleaning module mounted to an end of the shaft. The transmission mechanism is configured to drive the shaft to rotate through the first gear. The shaft is configured to move axially. The cleaning module is configured to clean a surface area.

A cleaning assembly and a cleaning apparatus are provided. The cleaning assembly includes a fixing mechanism, a lifting shaft, a moving member, a first drive mechanism and a cleaning module. The lifting shaft penetrates through the fixing mechanism and is configured to slide along an axial direction of the lifting shaft relative to the fixing mechanism. One end of the lifting shaft is connected to the cleaning module, and the other end is connected to the moving member. The moving member is configured to cause the lifting shaft to slide along the axial direction of the lifting shaft. The first drive mechanism is connected to the moving member by a transmission device and is configured to cause the moving member to move in a reciprocating motion.

While the described wand can include any suitable component, in some cases, it includes a wand head having a vacuum port with a front face and a back face, a jet port that is coupled at the back face of the vacuum port, and a jet that is coupled to the jet port, the jet being configured to spray effluent through the vacuum port to a surface to be cleaned. In some cases, the front face includes a first jog that extends from a front side of the front face and across a width of the front face. In some cases, the second face includes a second jog that extends across a width of the back face of the vacuum port such that the second jog extends into the vacuum port and defines a second recess at a back side of the back face. Additional implementations are also described herein.

A cleaning machine may include: a drive shaft; a rotation transmitting mechanism configured to transmit rotation of the drive shaft; a brush attaching member configured to rotate about a rotation axis; a clutch mechanism coupling the rotation transmitting mechanism with the brush attaching member; a brush attached to the brush attaching member; and a brush moving mechanism configured to move the brush attaching member between an adjacent position adjacent to a working plane and a distant position distanced from the working plane. The clutch mechanism may be configured to transmit the rotation from the rotation transmitting mechanism to the brush attaching member when the brush attaching member is at the adjacent position and cut off transmission of the rotation from the rotation transmitting mechanism to the brush attaching member when the brush attaching member is at the distant position.

A system and method of software control and autonomy of a disinfection module for an autonomous or semi-autonomous cleaning device. The disinfection module control software resides on a computer with processor and memory. The disinfection module is connected to peripherals for sensing and localizing in the environment and controlling the actuators for the motion of the cleaning device. The disinfection module control software processes the sprayer's status, follows and plans paths to move the cleaning device to the spray targets, generates appropriate motion commands, and controls the disinfection module's pump, fan, LED, and electrostatic generator states.

An extraction cleaning machine includes a housing with a bottom portion that is adapted to rest on a surface to be cleaned, a fluid delivery system including a fluid distributor, a fluid extraction system including a suction nozzle, at least one carriage assembly mounting an agitation assembly to the housing for movement with respect thereto and with respect to the surface to be cleaned, and an ultraviolet light mounted on at least one of the housing and the carriage assembly to emit ultraviolet light onto the surface to be cleaned.
