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 side brush for a vacuum cleaner includes a brush core and at least ten bristle clusters regularly distributed over a circumferential surface of the brush core.

New and novel structure(s) for cleaning surfaces have been disclosed. The device may include: a wiping surface, which may be disposable; a brush roll/larger debris gathering mechanism; a local debris storage and/or staging area, and a larger remote debris storage structure. Additionally, there are mechanisms and structures disclosed for powering the brush roll, activating the brush roll from an out of use position to an in use position, and moving the waste from one area to another. The invention at hand uniquely and inventively improves upon the known devices in this field.

The invention relates to a cleaning device with a frame that can be driven on a ground surface and with a vibrating screen which is mounted on the frame such that it can be moved to a limited extent and which is connected to a contact element. A vibrating roller is attached to the frame such that it can be rotated about a rotary axis, and it has an outer surface, in which radial elevations are formed. A pre-tensioning element pre-tensions the vibrating screen such that the contact element lies against the vibrating roller.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a wheel unit for autonomous traveling and a suction unit sucking air containing dust; a sensing unit disposed at one side of the cleaner body; a dust container accommodated in a dust container accommodation part formed at the other side of the cleaner body, the dust container collecting dust filtered from sucked air; and a dust container cover disposed to cover a top surface of the dust container, wherein an upper end of the sensing unit is formed at a position protruding upward from a top surface of the cleaner body and a top surface of the dust container cover.

A robotic mop includes one or more mop assemblies that may be used for support, mobility, and/or scrubbing. The mop assemblies may be operated to both scrub and move the robotic mop along the intended path. For example, the robotic mop may operate the mop assemblies in this way by rotating the mop assemblies in one or more directions at various different speeds, by tilting the mop assemblies (whether or not while rotating the mop assemblies at the time), and so on. In this way, the robotic mop may be able to move while scrubbing with various amounts of force without disrupting navigation.

A roller brush assembly and a cleaning device are provided. The above roller brush assembly is applied in the cleaning device, including: a main roller brush; an electric motor configured to drive the main roller brush to rotate to sweep a surface to be cleaned; and an auxiliary roller brush driven by the main roller brush to rotate and sweep the surface to be cleaned towards the main roller brush.

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 nozzle for a cleaner includes a nozzle housing including a suction flow path through which air including dust flows and at least a portion of which extends in a front and rear direction. First and second rotation cleaning units are arranged on the lower side of the nozzle housing to be spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction. Each of the first and second rotation cleaning units includes a rotation plate adapted for attachment of a mop. A first driving device including a first driving motor drives the first rotation cleaning unit and a second driving device including a second driving motor drives the second rotation cleaning unit. A water tank mounted on the nozzle stores water to be supplied to the mop.
