ROBOTIC CLEANER DEBRIS REMOVAL INTEGRATED DOCKING STATION

In an approach to a docking station for a robotic cleaner, the docking station includes a base; a trash bin having a substantially air-impermeable trash bag removably disposed thereon; a dock dirty air inlet defined in the base, the dock dirty air inlet being configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner; and a dock suction motor, wherein the dock suction motor is activated after the robotic cleaner is determined to be docked with the docking station and configured to urge debris from the robotic cleaner into the trash bin.

Vacuum canister system and method
12280943 · 2025-04-22 · ·

A system includes a vacuum canister combinable as a unit with a segregated trash bin. The vacuum canister is connected to a vacuum motor for drawing fines and particulates to the vacuum canister. The segregated trash bin retains refuse separate from the fines and particulates of the vacuum canister. The vacuum canister sealingly contains the fines and particulates from vacuuming. Debris larger than the vacuumed fines and particulates is depositable in the segregated trash bin separated from the fines and particulates.

Modular Storage Robot Mechanism
20250361079 · 2025-11-27 ·

This invention provides a modular storage robot device, including a storage bucket body, the top of which is detachably connected to a storage flip cover assembly. storage flip cover assembly includes a support cover, the middle of which is provided with a storage bag mounting mechanism. The bottom of the storage bag mounting mechanism is provided a packaging device, and the side of the packaging device is provided with a negative pressure device. This is used to solve the current market automatic packaging trash can are all design, the bucket body, packaging mechanism, bag loading mechanism and flip cover are assembled as a whole, difficult to disassemble, large transportation volume, high transportation cost at the same time, since the automatic packaging system is not modular design, its commonality and compatibility are poor.

Trash can with integrated air evacuation system
12612246 · 2026-04-28 · ·

A trash can assembly includes a trash can having an interior space and a vacuum assembly. The vacuum assembly comprises a top surface forming a false bottom, an elevated portion with a vacuum vent, a liquid gutter surrounding the elevated portion, and a plenum housing a vacuum motor. The vacuum motor is configured to draw air through the vacuum vent into the plenum, causing a trash bag to conform to the interior surface of the trash can. The assembly may include a controller, power source, charger port, seal indicator, status indicator, wireless control switch, and may operate in reverse mode for bag inflation or demonstration. The trash can may nest into an outer container formed of a rigid material including plastics or metals suitable for consumer waste receptacles, and connect electrically via detachable connectors. The system enhances bag capacity, aesthetics, and operational convenience.
