The system may include a second camera configured to scan the interior of the vehicle. The second system may include a first controller configured to create and/or modify a tool path to execute a cleaning operation, based on the scan, and to send instructions to the robotic arm to execute the cleaning operation in accordance with the created and/or modified tool path.

A vehicle vacuuming system that includes: a vacuum housing having an air filter, a motor within the interior volume of the vacuum housing wherein the motor supplies air suction power to a vacuum air intake distal from the motor and through a vacuum hose operably engaged with the vacuum housing, and an air outlet proximate the motor; and a pressure notification system chosen from the group consisting of a light, a speaker, a mobile application, and combinations thereof operably connected to a pressure sensing system associated with the vehicle vacuuming system.

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.

The present disclosure includes a vacuum stall canopy assembly for a car wash system having a first post assembly having a base leg permanently attached to the ground, a beam attached to the top of the first post assembly, a roof assembly disposed on an upper portion of the beam, a debris separator disposed on the beam, the debris separator having a first side and a second side, a main airline fluidly connected to the debris separator and configured to be connected to a source of vacuum suction, a first hose on the first side of the debris separator, and having a first nozzle on a distal end of the hose from the debris separator, and a second hose on the second side of the debris separator, and having a second nozzle on a distal end of the hose from the debris separator.

A sterilization system that sterilizes an interior of a storage compartment of a vehicle, including: at least one lamp configured to irradiate ultraviolet light to the interior of the storage compartment, a sensor configured to detect an open or closed state of the storage compartment, and a controller configured to based on the storage compartment being switched from an open state to a closed state in a state where the sterilization system is turned on, turn on the at least one lamp, count a duration for which the at least one lamp is in an ON state, based on the counted duration reaching a preset duration, turn off the at least one lamp, and based on the storage compartment being switched to the open state in a state where the at least one lamp is turned on, turn off the at least one lamp.

A central vacuum system with several suction hoses provided with a suction nozzle which, after having vacuumed with the suction hose concerned, must be placed in a suction nozzle holder and which, before vacuuming with the suction hose concerned, must be taken out of the suction nozzle holder. The central vacuum system includes a detection system for detecting whether a suction nozzle is either or not placed in its corresponding suction nozzle holder, as well as a control unit which is connected to the detection system. The control unit controls the suction force of the central pump installation as a function of the number of suction hoses being used.

Mat cleaning device comprising at least one washing basket having a cage-like shape and intended to accommodate the mat in an adjacent arrangement, and in a non-folded position. The basket comprises at least a metallic mesh, having a V configuration defined by two convergent sections converging in a lower edge and having a free end opposite to the lower edge in each convergent section, through which a mat is introduced in the basket, and two side ends delimiting the cage sides. The device comprises a support to which the basket is rotationally linked through rotating elements, in such a way that it can rotate over a transversal axis or a longitudinal axis.

An unmanned ground-based hygiene maintenance vehicle, UGV, includes a housing with a base plate, top plate and housing side wall substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Arranged in the housing is at least one wheel drive coupled to at least one wheel in a recess in the base plate. The UGV includes sensors for sensing the environment of the UGV, and a controller for autonomous location and navigation of the UGV based on sensing parameters of the sensors. The UGV includes an articulated robot arm on the top plate of the housing and to support a hygiene maintenance tool. The UGV includes at least one load-receiving element coupled to the housing side wall and extending outwards from the housing side wall, wherein the load-receiving element includes a load support surface for supporting a hygiene maintenance tool supply module with respect to a vertical direction extending transverse to the base plate.

An apparatus, system, and method for dual-mode vehicle-mounted cleaning are provided. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a heat-exchanger subsystem having first and second heat-receiving pathways and a heat-providing pathway. Heat exhaust from a combustion engine is routed through the heat-providing pathway to transfer heat to both the first and second heat-receiving pathways. The first heat-receiving pathway, the second heat-receiving pathway, and the heat-providing pathway are fluidly independent of each other. The apparatus also includes a first liquid pathway fluidly coupled to the first heat-receiving pathway, configured to direct a hard-surface cleaning liquid, by a first pump, through the first heat-receiving pathway to a hard-surface cleaning tool, and a second liquid pathway fluidly coupled to the second heat-receiving pathway, configured to direct a soft-surface cleaning liquid, at a lower pressure than a first liquid in the first liquid pathway, through the second heat-receiving pathway to a soft-surface cleaning tool.

A windshield scrubbing assembly for cleaning an interior surface of a windshield includes a wand that has a yoke on a distal end of the wand. A scrubbing unit is pivotally coupled to the yoke thereby facilitating the scrubbing unit to be positioned at a plurality of angles with respect to the wand. In this way the scrubbing unit can access an intersection between a lower threshold of a windshield of a vehicle and a dashboard of the vehicle. The scrubbing unit rotates when the scrubbing unit is turned on. A scrubbing pad is attachable to the scrubbing unit for scrubbing the interior surface of the windshield.
