Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a cleaning robot, a cleaning module, a cleaning assembly, a base and a cleaning system, wherein the cleaning robot includes: a robot apparatus, configured to carry the cleaning module; and a first replacement mechanism, configured to enable the robot apparatus to be loaded with the cleaning module, and replace a cleaning module carried on the robot apparatus with the loaded cleaning module. When the cleaning robot is loaded with a new cleaning module, the loaded new cleaning module replaces the old cleaning module originally carried on the cleaning robot, in this way, the assembling and disassembling of the cleaning modules on the cleaning robot can be performed synchronously.
Abstract:
A cleaning base station for a cleaning robot is disclosed. The cleaning base station includes a base station body, a cleaning structure, a first liquid storage structure and a second liquid storage structure. The base station body defines a cleaning space where the cleaning robot is capable of being parked, and the base station body includes a liquid applicating port on an upper side of the cleaning space and a sewage suction outlet on a lower side of the cleaning space. The cleaning structure is installed on a lower side of the cleaning space and is configured to clean a cleaning member of the cleaning robot. The first liquid storage structure is in communication with the liquid applicating port, and the second liquid storage structure is in communication with the sewage suction outlet.
Abstract:
An autonomous mobile robot comprise: a chassis having a drive system in communication with a control system; a cleaning head assembly having a lower cage and mounted to the chassis; a debris collection bin mounted to the chassis; a vacuum airway having a vacuum inlet and an airway outlet positioned adjacent the debris collection bin, and configured to deliver debris from the cleaning head assembly to a debris collection bin, the vacuum airway extending between the cleaning assembly and debris collection bin and being in fluid communication with an impeller disposed within the debris collection bin; and a cleaning head module connected to the chassis and having a front roller including a front shape-changing resilient tube and an adjacent rear roller including a rear shape-changing resilient tube rotatably opposing therewith beneath the vacuum inlet.
Abstract:
An autonomous coverage robot includes a cleaning assembly having forward roller and rearward rollers counter-rotating with respect to each other. The rollers are arranged to substantially maintain a cross sectional area between the two rollers yet permitting collapsing therebetween as large debris is passed. Each roller includes a resilient elastomer outer tube and a partially air-occupied inner resilient core configured to bias the outer tube to rebound. The core includes a hub and resilient spokes extending between the inner surface of the outer tube and the hub. The spokes suspend the outer tube to float about the hub and transfer torque from the hub to the outer tube while allowing the outer tube to momentarily deform or move offset from the hub during impact with debris larger than the cross sectional area between the two rollers.
Abstract:
A coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a housing and at least one driven cleaning roller including an elongated core with end mounting features defining a central longitudinal axis of rotation, multiple floor cleaning bristles extending radially outward from the core, and at least one compliant flap extending radially outward from the core to sweep a floor surface. The flap is configured to prevent errant filaments from spooling tightly about the core to aid subsequent removal of the filaments. In another aspect, a coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system, a controller, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a housing and at least one driven cleaning roller. The coverage robot includes a roller cleaning tool carried by the chassis and configured to longitudinally traverse the roller to remove accumulated debris from the cleaning roller.
Abstract:
A unit for treating floors has a motor-driven mobile device and a base station for replenishing the mobile device. The base station has an additional motor-driven transporting device for moving the mobile device into and out of the base station. A process for treating floors with the unit is also provided.
Abstract:
Robotic surface cleaners, mop accessories for robotic surface cleaners, and methods associated therewith are provided. A mop accessory includes a fluid reservoir that contains a fluid. The fluid reservoir can be in fluid communication with a vapor generator. An outlet port in fluid communication with the vapor generator can dispense vapor from the vapor generator to a floor surface. An energy source can be coupled to the mop accessory and in electrical communication with the vapor generator. The mop accessory can be removably attachable to a main body of a robotic surface cleaner at a connection interface of the robotic surface cleaner.
Abstract:
This application provides a robot base station, robot system, pedestal module, and functional components of the base station. The robot base station includes: a pedestal for docking the robot and multiple functional components, each with at least one functional module, providing various services to the robot. Any of these functional components can be combined with the pedestal, and at least some of the functional components can be assembled together and then combined with the pedestal, forming a base station with various functional combinations and quantities. The robot base station is designed modularly. By combining various functional components with the pedestal according to the actual needs of users, a base station that meets diverse needs of different users can be obtained.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the field of smart home technologies and provides a base station and a cleaning robot system. The base station is configured to clean a cleaning system of a cleaning robot and includes a base station body and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly may be movably disposed on the base station body, and includes a first cleaning member and a second cleaning member different from the first cleaning member. The first cleaning member and the second cleaning member remove debris from the cleaning system by interfering with the cleaning system. The first cleaning member and the second cleaning member come into contact with a cleaning mechanism of the cleaning robot through relative movement between the cleaning assembly and the cleaning mechanism after the cleaning assembly faces the cleaning mechanism, such that the debris on the cleaning mechanism may be removed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a mopping cloth of a self-propelled cleaning apparatus. The cleaning device includes a clean-water tank, a waste-water tank, a base, a cleaning unit, a clean-water pipeline and a waste-water pipeline. The cleaning unit includes a water outlet, a cleaning brush and a cleaning chamber. The water outlet is configured to spray a cleaning liquid toward a direction away from the base. The cleaning brush cleans a mopping cloth. The clean-water pipeline communicates between the clean-water tank and the water outlet and is for the cleaning liquid in the clean-water tank to pass through the clean-water pipeline and be sprayed from the water outlet. The waste-water pipeline communicates between the waste-water tank and the cleaning chamber of the cleaning unit and is for the cleaning liquid sprayed while the cleaning unit cleans the mopping cloth to pass through the waste-water pipeline and be collected in the waste-water tank.
