A floor maintenance machine includes a chassis, a floor-cleaning implement adapted for engagement with the floor, and a service cabinet. The floor-cleaning implement is supported by the chassis. The service cabinet is coupled to the chassis and defines a cavity. The cavity receives a plurality of fluid access points collectively therein.

A surface maintenance machine is provided having a maintenance head assembly positioned substantially within an envelope of the machine. The maintenance head assembly has at least one maintenance tool attachable thereto. The machine also includes a tool eject mechanism positioned below an upper surface of the body. The tool eject mechanism can generate a drop force sufficient to overcome the force between the maintenance tool and the maintenance head assembly. The tool eject mechanism can have an eject button extending above the upper surface of the deck. The eject button can be actuable by at least a portion of the upper surface of the body of the machine when the maintenance head assembly is raised toward the upper surface of the body of the machine beyond a transport position into a tool eject position. When actuated, the tool eject mechanism can eject the maintenance tool from the maintenance head assembly

A cleaning system includes: a cleaning appliance comprising a base member, which is provided with a mechanical cleaning arrangement, and a fluid tank; and a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the mechanical cleaning arrangement of the cleaning appliance, the cleaning apparatus including: a container having a recess for receiving the base member; and a nozzle arrangement associated with the recess. The nozzle arrangement is connected to an inlet in a flow-conducting manner. The fluid tank has an outlet which, to clean the cleaning arrangement, is connectable to the inlet of the cleaning apparatus.

A floor cleaning machine with a base, which has a driven cleaning element, and an operating bar that is pivotably attached to the base via a joint and extends between a proximal end and an actuating end. The joint includes a bellows, which is coupled at its opposite ends to the base and the operating bar, a first supporting element, which is arranged inside the bellows and is attached to and points away from the base, and a second supporting element, which is arranged inside the bellows and is attached to and points away from the proximal end of the operating bar. A free end of one of the first and second supporting elements has a projection, while a free end of the other of the first and second supporting elements has a receiving recess that receives the projection and guides it for pivoting movement.

A floor cleaning machine having a cleaning element arrangement with inner and outer cleaning elements that include inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, that extend jointly in the cleaning body plane and have first and second receiving openings, respectively. The inner and outer cleaning elements extend from the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, away from the cleaning body plane to one side thereof. The inner cleaning body is arranged in the second receiving opening. The output shaft extends with an output shaft section into both the first and second receiving openings. First and second eccentric elements are attached to the output shaft section and to the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, so that when the output shaft is rotated, the inner and outer cleaning bodies perform eccentric movements that are phase-shifted with respect to one another.

The present disclosure relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a cleaning robot system. The cleaning robot system includes a base station and a cleaning robot. The base station is independent to the cleaning robot of the cleaning robot system. The base station includes a base station body and a mop member cleaning device arranged on the base station body. The mop member cleaning device is configured to clean a mop member of the cleaning robot. Based on the base station, the cleaning robot system is capable of automatically cleaning the mop member with no need for users to change or clean the mop member frequently, which is helpful to free consumers from house cleaning, thus relieving the burden on the consumers, and also helpful to clean the mop member in time so as to ensure a better effect in next cleaning.

A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a body, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) module having a LiDAR sensor rotatably supported by the body, a light-emitting display module mounted on the LiDAR module, wherein the light-emitting display module is configured to display an image based on an afterimage effect according to a rotation of the LiDAR module.

A mobile cleaner includes a dust housing, an agitator, and a dustpan. The dust housing has a collection opening facing a surface. The agitator is rotatably disposed within the dust housing and is exposed to the surface through the collection opening. The agitator is configured to move foreign material from the floor into the dust housing. The dustpan directs the foreign material moved by the agitator into the dust housing. The dustpan extends around a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the agitator and is configured to rotate independent of the agitator.

An autonomous floor cleaner or floor cleaning robot can include an autonomously moveable housing and a drive system for autonomously moving the autonomously moveable housing over a surface to be cleaned based on inputs from a controller. A brush chamber and a debris receptacle can be formed as a unitary assembly removable from the autonomously moveable housing.

An apparatus for cleaning a floor includes a housing, wheels by which the apparatus is adapted to move; a motive device for moving the apparatus, a steering mechanism, and a cleaning assembly including a cleaning unit and an offset mechanism adapted to move the cleaning unit to or from an offset position projecting beyond one lateral side of the apparatus. In another embodiment, an apparatus for cleaning a floor includes a housing, wheels by which the apparatus is adapted to move, a motive device for moving the apparatus, a steering mechanism, and a cleaning assembly including a cleaning unit and a swing mechanism indirectly linking the cleaning unit to the steering mechanism such that when the apparatus is in an operative mode, the cleaning unit reorients its position in synchronization with the path of travel of the apparatus. Optionally, a lifting device may raise and lower the cleaning assembly.
