An automated floor cleaner (1) has a cleaner body (2); a cleaning means (3, 45, 6) connected to the cleaner body (2) and configured to in use contact a floor surface to clean the surface; a movement means (7, 19, 8) connected to the cleaner body (2) and configured so that in use the floor cleaner (1) can move across a surface, and; a sensing means 16a, 16b configured to sense the position of the floor cleaner within a location and to transmit data relating to the position to a memory module (20) configured to map and record the position of the floor cleaner (1) during use.

An autonomous cleaning robot includes a main body including a main mounting frame and an outer shell, a drive wheel assembly, a collision mitigation mechanism, a sweeping and vacuum assembly, a cleaning fluid applicator and cleaning roller assembly, a germicidal ultraviolet light disinfection mechanism, the germicidal ultraviolet light disinfection mechanism capable of disinfecting both cleaning fluid and a cleaning surface, and a main controller unit. The robot uses germicidal ultraviolet radiation to both disinfect a cleaning surface as well as to disinfect used and/or recycled cleaning fluid. A method for cleaning a floor involves activating the robot; checking fluid levels; acquiring imagery of the space to be cleaned, dispensing cleaning fluid, recycling recovered and excess cleaning fluid, irradiating used cleaning fluid, irradiating a cleaning surface, moving across a cleaning area, recording a travel path, traveling across areas not previously traveled across, and powering down when finished.

A surface cleaning apparatus is operable in a plurality of cleaning modes, including at least a wet cleaning mode and a dry vacuuming mode. The surface cleaning apparatus has a suction source, a suction inlet port in fluid communication with the suction source, a fluid dispenser, a pump in fluid communication with the fluid dispenser, a motor coupled with a brushroll to drive the brushroll, and a floor type sensor. Operating parameters of the apparatus may be automatically adjusted based on a detected floor type.

A floor cleaning device having an anti-bacterial treatment system includes a recovery tank configured to receive and retain waste cleaning liquid, a recovery hose in fluid communication with the recovery tank, and a vacuum system configured to draw waste cleaning liquid from a surface that is being cleaned through the recovery hose and into the recovery tank. An anti-bacterial material is located whereby at least some of the waste cleaning liquid discharged into the recovery tank passes over the anti-bacterial material. In a particular embodiment a debris trap assembly is positioned within the recovery tank such that waste cleaning liquid drawn through the recovery hose passes through the debris tray prior to discharging into the recovery tank, with the anti-bacterial material disposed at the debris tray.

The present invention relates to a gas driven automatic moving steam circulation window wiping robot, comprises a housing, a driving mechanism, a wiping mechanism and a steam circulation mechanism. The driving mechanism comprises a main drive shaft, a follower shaft, a first motor, a rolling wheel, a suction cup walking device. The suction cup moving device comprises a crankshaft, a support pole, suction cups and a second motor. The wiping mechanism comprises a striped wiping cloth, a UV sterilization lamp and rotary brushes. The follower shaft is drivably connected to the rotary brush. The steam circulation mechanism comprises a negative pressure suction mouth, a negative pressure pump, a water precipitation tank, a filter tank and a steam generator connected in series through pipes. The structure is reasonable, having the advantages of simple, convenient to use, saves water, safe and reliable, and having a high level of automation, can effectively solve the problem of existing window wiping robots unable to clean the corners of windows.

A cleaning device comprises an upper cleaning solution tank comprising an outlet, a motorized chassis located beneath the solution tank and an electronics compartment defined at least partly by splash shields and a drip shield. The splash shields define a top and sides of the electronics compartment, and the drip shield defines a bottom side of the electronics compartment and includes at least one drip hole smaller than 2 mm in diameter. A wire opening in the splash shields includes a protective cover overlying the opening, the protective covering containing at least one passage facing in a direction opposite to the solution tank allowing a wire to pass through the passage, through the wire opening, and into the electronics compartment. Fluid lines extend from the outlet towards a bottom of the cleaning device and exterior to the electronics compartment. An enclosed electronics unit may also include wire openings and protective covers.

A recycling bin and a cleaning device. The recycling bucket includes: an upper cover; a filtering part, which is detachably connected to the upper cover and which is provided with a plurality of filtering holes, a filtering space being formed between the filtering part and the upper cover; a sewage channel, which passes through the filtering part, and which includes a channel outlet that is located in the filtering space, the channel outlet being located above the filtering part.

A cleaning device may include a solution tank configured to store cleaning solution. The device delivers the cleaning solution from a pump discharge of the cleaning device to a flow meter. The device initiates a priming mode by opening a first valve associated with a bypass line of the device, closing a second valve associated with a cleaning head of the cleaning device, and delivering the cleaning solution from a discharge of the flow meter to the inlet of the solution tank through the bypass line. When the device is primed, it initiates cleaning by closing the first valve associated with the bypass line, opening the second valve associated with the cleaning head, and delivering the cleaning solution to the cleaning head.

The disclosure provides a water channel assembly including a channel shell and a filtering piece. The water channel is disposed on the surface of a cleaning roller in a seal and overturn mode so that the cleaning roller is washed by water flowing in the water channel. The filtering piece is laid in the water channel and faces the surface of the cleaning roller. As a result, the solid trash on the cleaning roller is filtered by the filter element and cannot enter the water channel, thus preventing the blockage of the waterway of the water supply system.

A surface cleaning apparatus adapted for movement across a surface to be cleaned includes a recovery system and a fluid delivery system. The surface cleaning apparatus can have a rechargeable battery and a battery housing for the rechargeable battery. The surface cleaning apparatus has a self-cleaning mode of operation in which an unattended automatic cleanout cycle is executed.
