The present disclosure provides a vacuum cleaner floor brush with a height-adjustable suction inlet. The vacuum cleaner floor brush includes a floor brush main body, a rolling brush, and a rolling brush cover with an arc-shaped cross section; the rolling brush is fixedly mounted on a preset rolling brush chamber on the floor brush main body; the floor brush main body is provided with a suction inlet adjustment plate; an inner wall of the suction inlet adjustment plate is a cambered surface; a lengthwise direction of the suction inlet adjustment plate is parallel to an axial direction of the rolling brush; two opposite ends in a width direction of the suction inlet adjustment plate respectively extend towards the rolling brush cover and a bottom suction inlet of the floor brush main body; and the suction inlet adjustment plate can flip along a circumferential direction of the rolling brush. In the present disclosure, more than two kinds of different rolling brushes can be mounted on the same floor brush for use. When different rolling brushes are used on different floors, the suction inlet adjustment plate can be adjusted up and down to make the height of the suction inlet change, so as to improve the cleanness of the floor brush.

Provided is a robot cleaner including a main body including a suction portion disposed thereon, main wheels for moving the main body, and a side brush assembly disposed on the main body and rotating with a rotation shaft perpendicular to a rotation shaft of the main wheels, the side brush assembly includes a housing for forming an exterior of the side brush assembly, a first force transmitter disposed in the housing and rotating by receiving a driving force, a belt connected to the first force transmitter, a second force transmitter connected to the first force transmitter by the belt to receive a rotational force of the first force transmitter, and a side brush coupled to the second force transmitter.

A vehicle floor mat vacuum machine includes an elongate open mouth communicating with an interior chamber for passage of a floor mat therethrough and between an upper feed roller and a lower brush roller for contacting a carpet surface of the floor mat. A vacuum source connects to a vacuum manifold to create suction, as the brush roller and suction force work in conjunction to remove sand, dirt and other debris from the floor mat. An electric motor, drive belt and reduction gear assembly rotate the feed roller and brush roller in opposite directions with the brush roller rotating at a significantly higher speed. In one embodiment, the vacuum source is a central vacuum system, wherein a solenoid-controlled valve in the vacuum line extending from the feed roller is opened for a timed sequence during operation of the machine.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; and a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, wherein a first opening and a second opening are disposed at the same height in an inner wall of the dust container accommodation part, wherein the dust container includes: an entrance and an exit, disposed side by side along the circumference of the dust container, the entrance and the exit, respectively communicating with the first opening and the second opening when the dust container is accommodated in the dust container accommodation part; and a flow separating part extending downwardly inclined along the inner circumference of the dust container.

A suction device and a suction force adjustment method thereof are provided. A detecting device collects sound generated when the suction device executes a suction operation to obtain characteristics of a sound signal. The detecting device determines a clogging degree of a filter disposed on an exhaust vent of a suction unit, an airflow velocity in a suction pipe, a material of the suctioned surface, and a degree of closure between a suction port of the suction device and the suctioned surface according to the characteristics of the sound signal. A control host adjusts a suction force of the suction unit or adjusts the degree of closure between the suction port of the suction device and the suctioned surface according to a detected result of the detecting device, and provides warning information for cleaning or replacing the filter.

A motor cover includes a lattice structure defining a plurality of vent openings that provide ventilation of the motor cover. Each vent opening of the plurality of vent openings is defined by a first cross member, a second cross member, a first side member, and a second side member of the lattice structure. The second cross member is spaced vertically below the first cross member and the first side member is spaced horizontally forward from the second side member. Each of the first and second side members extend from the first cross member to the second cross member. The second cross member extends further outward from a central vertical axis of the motor cover than the first cross member, and the first side member extends further outward from the central longitudinal axis than the second side member.

A cleaning system including a motor, a battery receptacle, and a motor controller. The battery receptacle is configured to receive a battery pack. The battery pack includes one or more battery cells and a battery controller. The motor controller is configured to receive from the battery controller at least one selected from the group consisting of a first signal indicative of a first characteristic of the battery pack and a second signal indicative of a second characteristic of the battery pack. The motor controller is further configured to operate the motor at a defined speed, the defined speed being a first speed upon receiving the first signal and a second speed upon receiving the second signal. Wherein the first characteristic and the second characteristic are at least one selected from the group consisting of a capacity, a current, and a resistance.

A side brush for a robotic cleaner. The side brush is rotatable about a rotation axis in a rotational direction and has a brush body and numerous linear bristles including a first bristle having a base end at the brush body and an opposite distal end. An imaginary line extends perpendicularly to the rotation axis. The first bristle extends in a bristle direction outwardly from the brush body. Seen in a top view, the bristle direction extends at a first angle to the imaginary line with the distal end pointing rearwardly in relation to the rotational direction. Seen in a side view, the bristle direction extends at a second acute angle to the rotation axis pointing away from the brush body. A robotic cleaner having such a side brush is also disclosed herein.
