A cleaning robot, includes a body provided with a dust box and a water tank, a water outlet for discharging liquid in the water tank and a dust suction port connected with the dust box are provided with on a bottom of the body, and the water outlet is disposed rearward of the dust suction port and adjacent thereto.

Autoscrubbers are capable of being operated in a manual (e.g. walk-behind) mode and an autonomous (operator free) mode and capable of switching between such operational modes. Apparatus and methods for steering such autoscrubbers use steering torque mechanisms to apply steering torques independently to left and right drive wheels. Steering systems for autonomous operation may be retrofit onto existing walk-behind autoscrubbers to implement this functionality. The autonomous control capability may not detract appreciably from an operator's ability to use the autoscrubber in a manual (walk-behind) mode.

A cleaning mode control method and a cleaning robot are configured to automatically control the cleaning robot to perform a cleaning mode corresponding to a cleaning module. The method includes: detecting whether a cleaning module is installed on the robot body; on condition of detecting the cleaning module is installed on the robot body, controlling the cleaning robot to perform a cleaning mode used in conjunction with the cleaning module; the cleaning module is a component for cleaning a ground, and the cleaning mode is a working mode of the cleaning robot. Thus, the cleaning robot is automatically controlled to perform the cleaning mode corresponding to the cleaning module, so that the work of the cleaning robot is intelligent.

A cleaning system for cleaning a floor of a restroom has a self-driven cleaning head. The system has in addition a docking site for at least partially housing the cleaning head when not in use, and the cleaning head is permanently connected to electrical, water cables and hydraulic and/or pneumatic hoses during use.

The present invention relates to a base station for a cleaning robot to park in, where the cleaning robot includes a wiping board, and a flexible wiping member replaceably butts the wiping board to form a wiping surface to wipe a working surface on which the cleaning robot walks, where the base station includes: a storage module, configured to store a continuous wiping base material; and a feeding module, configured to drive a free end of the wiping base material to be conveyed to a cutting position, to cause the free end to be cut from the wiping base material to form the wiping member. The present invention has the following beneficial effects: After returning to the base station, the cleaning robot may automatically mount a wiping member without intervention by a user.

A docking station includes a base and a cleaning member assembly. The cleaning member assembly includes at least one cleaning member, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a power source. Each of the at least one cleaning member is mounted on the first bracket and the second bracket. One of the first bracket and the second bracket is a fixed bracket, and the other is a movable bracket. The movable bracket is driven to reciprocate along a straight line, in order to drive each the cleaning member to swing relative to the first bracket around a central axis.
