A lid system for a wet-dry vacuum includes a lid shaped to cover an open end of a container and having a vacuum opening therethrough, and a hatch that engages the lid to cover and seal the vacuum opening when in a closed position and disengages from the lid in an open position to uncover the vacuum opening. A vacuum generator is mounted on the hatch, and a flanged filter is mounted on the lid and extends through the vacuum opening such that the flange supports the filter on the lid. When the hatch is in the closed position, the hatch compresses the flange against the lid to form an airtight seal between with the upper surface of the lid, and the vacuum generator communicates with the interior of the container. When the hatch is in the open position, the filter is insertable into and removable from the vacuum opening.

The present invention relates to a moving robot capable of recognizing a position on a map and a control method of the moving robot, and the moving robot according to the present invention includes: a travel drive unit configured to move a main body; an image acquisition unit configured to acquire images of surroundings; and a controller configured to recognize a current position. The controller is further configured to separate the travel area by the predetermined criterion into a plurality of large areas, into which the plurality of small areas is grouped; compute each large area feature distribution and the at least one recognition descriptor by a predetermined superordinate estimation rule to select a large area in which the current position is included; and compute the small area feature distribution and the at least one recognition descriptor by the predetermined estimation rule to select a small area, in which the current position is included, from among a plurality of small areas included in the selected large area. The control method according to the present invention includes: a learning process of learning a travel area to generate a map and separating the travel area into a plurality of small areas by a predetermined criterion; and a recognition process of selecting a current position on the map. The recognition process includes: a recognition descriptor generation process of acquiring an image of the current position, extract at least one recognition feature from the acquired image, and generating a recognition descriptor corresponding to the at least one recognition feature. The recognition process includes: a large area selection process of computing each large area feature distribution and the at least one recognition descriptor by a predetermined superordinate estimation rule to select a large area in which the current position is included.

A weld wheel cleaning system is provided to clean or remove a layer of embedded material and other debris produced from welding from the working surface of a weld wheel. Such a weld wheel cleaning system includes a cleaner with an abrasive material positioned on an outer surface of the cleaner. The cleaner is positionable adjacent to the weld wheel such that the abrasive material is aligned with the working surface of the weld wheel. An actuator can be used to selectively actuate the cleaner with a force sufficient to remove the layer of embedded material from the working surface of the weld wheel with the abrasive material. The debris from the cleaner can be removed by a vacuum.
