Abstract: A water tank assembly including a tank body and a one-way valve is provided. The tank body is defined with a clean water cavity communicated with an external pipeline through a water inlet channel, the external pipeline is capable of transporting water to the clean water cavity. The one-way valve is arranged in the water inlet channel and has a first and a second state. During delivering clean water to the clean water cavity, the one-way valve is in the first state to allow water in the external pipeline to be delivered to the clean water cavity, and when clean water is stopped to supply to the clean water cavity, the one-way valve is changed to the second state to restrict the water in the water inlet channel flowing out, such that outflow of the clean water from the water inlet channel is blocked when the external pipeline is removed.

Abstract: An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.
