Vacuum cleaner with fluid distribution system
A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a dispensing system for applying a treating agent stored on the surface cleaning apparatus to the surface to be cleaned. The dispensing system can include at least one container for storing a supply of treating agent and a dispenser for dispensing the treating agent to the surface to be cleaned. The dispensing system uses filtered working exhaust air to blow treating agent off the treating agent dispenser.
Surface cleaning apparatus with two-stage collection
The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that mechanically removes liquid and debris from a brushroll and stores the mechanically-removed liquid and debris onboard the apparatus in a first collection area. The surface cleaning apparatus also collects further liquid and debris from the brushroll by a source of suction including a vacuum motor or a pump and stores the collected liquid and debris onboard the apparatus in a second collection area.
FLOOR CLEANING MACHINE
A floor cleaning machine having a cleaning element arrangement with inner and outer cleaning elements that include inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, that extend jointly in the cleaning body plane and have first and second receiving openings, respectively. The inner and outer cleaning elements extend from the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, away from the cleaning body plane to one side thereof. The inner cleaning body is arranged in the second receiving opening. The output shaft extends with an output shaft section into both the first and second receiving openings. First and second eccentric elements are attached to the output shaft section and to the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, so that when the output shaft is rotated, the inner and outer cleaning bodies perform eccentric movements that are phase-shifted with respect to one another.
Pad Cleaning System for Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
A docking station for a mobile cleaning robot can include a base portion configured to receive the mobile cleaning robot. The docking station can include a housing connected to the base portion and a pad cleaning system. The pad cleaning system can be connected to the housing and can include a cleaning head engageable with a cleaning pad of the mobile cleaning robot to remove debris from the cleaning pad, the cleaning head can include a nozzle configured to discharge a fluid onto the cleaning pad.
Surface cleaning apparatus having a fluid distributor
A surface cleaning apparatus is provided with a fluid delivery system for delivering a cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned. The fluid delivery system includes one or more fluid supply tanks for storing a supply of cleaning fluid, a fluid distributor for applying the cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned, and a fluid supply conduit for delivering the cleaning fluid from the fluid supply tank to the fluid distributor.
Surface cleaning machine with cover device for dirty fluid reservoir device
A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning head having at least one driven cleaning roller unit, a dirty fluid reservoir device arranged on the cleaning head, and a scraping guide device for dirty fluid that acts on the at least one cleaning roller unit, wherein the dirty fluid reservoir device has a container device for dirty fluid and a cover device for the container device, wherein a duct device for cleaning liquid is arranged on the cover device, and wherein there is arranged on the cover device an orifice device which is fluidically connected to the duct device and by means of which cleaning liquid is applicable to the at least one cleaning roller unit.
Floor cleaning apparatus
The present disclosure discloses a floor cleaning apparatus, comprises a cleaning robot and a washing base, and the cleaning robot comprises a robot main body and a mop assembly; the mop assembly is provided with a turntable-type mop mechanism able to stretch out downwards; the washing base comprises an outer container, a rinse tank and a solution-feeding mechanism. In the technical scheme disclosed, the automatic floor cleaning and finishing cloth washing are achieved so as to realize intelligent automatic cleaning, effectively removing dirt attached to the finishing cloth automatically, and freeing from artificially detaching and then washing the finishing cloth stained with dirt, automatically performing washing operation, and greatly alleviating operation burden of a user. Meanwhile, with the structure of the finishing cloth with a lifting structure, secondary pollution caused by the finishing cloth is avoided.
Portable extractor
A portable cleaner has a recovery tank, including a container for receiving and storing recovered liquid and/or dirt and an openable tank lid for covering the container. The container and the tank lid are removable from the cleaner as a unit. The portable cleaner also has a main housing configured to removably support the recovery tank in a vertical orientation in which the tank lid at least partially defines a top side of the portable extraction cleaner. In addition, a tank latch is provided in the tank lid, the tank latch configured to selectively secure and release the tank lid to the main housing when the recovery tank is supported by the main housing.
Nozzle for cleaner
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.
Self-cleaning squeegee system and methods of using the same
A system for a self-cleaning squeegee that is integrated with a semi-autonomous cleaning device includes a frame coupled to the cleaning device. A squeegee is coupled to the frame and oriented such that an edge of the squeegee is in close proximity to a surface, e.g., a floor, for cleaning. A manifold configured to receive a cleaning fluid is coupled to the frame and oriented such that the cleaning fluid can be dispersed onto at least a portion of the squeegee. A connecting member is used to couple the manifold to an external fluid distribution system that provides the cleaning fluid. The self-cleaning squeegee system can thus disperse pressurized cleaning fluid, e.g., water or a mixture of water and soap, via the manifold to clean the surface of a squeegee. In this manner, the self-cleaning squeegee system can clean squeegees on the cleaning device without the need for human intervention.
