摘要： A floor cleaning and polishing device has a polishing pad for a surface which is rotationally engaged upon a pad driver operatively engaged to a frame. A first set of wheels on the frame allow for tilted movement. A second set of wheels are positionable to a deployed position to elevate the first set of wheels from the surface and position the polishing pad parallel to the surface. The device may have a light projector engageable for light disinfecting. The polishing pads are configured with a plurality of polishing fabric sections separated by recesses therebetween.

摘要： A charging pile for sweeping robot including a main body, a storage component, a charging head, a charging cable, and a circuit board. The main body is provided with a first slot. The storage component, provided with a charging interface and an avoidance slot. The charging pile for sweeping robot includes a first mounting post movably connected to the main body. The charging cable is partly wound on the first mounting post, one end of which is detachably connected to the charging interface, and the other surrounds the first mounting post and penetrates through the avoidance slot and is fixedly connected to the charging head. The charging interface is electrically connected to the main body, so the charging cable can be wound on the first mounting post and contained in the first slot, prevented from being scattered on ground, and making the charging pile more beautiful when in use.

摘要： A sterilizer for an autonomous robotic cleaner is revealed. An ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer is disposed on a top surface of an autonomous robotic cleaner. When the autonomous robotic cleaner is moved for cleaning the floor, consumers can activate the UV sterilizer by remote control to perform sterilization of indoor environments according to their needs. Thus a clean and hygienic environment is achieved. A person or pet in area to be cleaned is detected in a real time manner by a thermal sensor module so that the UV sterilizer is turned off immediately to protect the person or pet from injuries caused by exposure to UV light.

摘要： An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a robot body, a drive supporting the robot body to maneuver the robot across a floor surface, a pad holder attached to an underside of the robot body and configured to receive a removable cleaning pad, and a pad sensor configured to sense a pad type identifier on a central region of the cleaning pad. The pad type identifier includes a marker on the central region of the cleaning pad. The cleaning pad has a mounting card affixed thereto, and the pad type identifier includes an array of apertures that expose selected portions of the marker.
