Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a floor cleaning system having a central suction station with which there is associated a self-propelled and self-steering suction appliance, dirt being picked up from a floor surface that is to be cleaned by means of the suction appliance and being transferred into a dirt collection vessel of the suction appliance, and the suction station having a suction unit, and the dirt collection vessel being sucked out by means of the suction unit. To refine the method in such a manner that the levels of noise produced by the floor cleaning system can be reduced, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the suction unit is optionally operated with a maximum suction power or a reduced suction power. The invention also proposes a floor cleaning system for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A conveyor station, robot module, sweeper module, and methods for autonomously emptying debris using the conveyor station are described. In one example, a conveyor station includes a housing having an input end and an output end. The conveyor station includes a conveyor belt having a receiving region proximate to the input end and an angled transport region leading toward a dispense region. The conveyor belt has a plurality of fins that extend out from a surface of the conveyor belt. The plurality of fins enable movement of debris collected at the receiving region toward the dispense region. The dispense region is configured to push debris into a drop funnel of the housing, and the drop funnel directs debris into a receptacle. The conveyor station includes a conveyor controller of the conveyor station is configured with a sensor for detecting presence of a sweeper module. The sweeper module includes a container that holds debris collected when the sweeper module is connected to a robot module. The debris is configured to be emptied from said sweeper module directly onto said receiving region of the conveyor belt.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dust suction and charging device for a floor sweeping robot and a dust suction and charging method thereof. The floor sweeping robot has a floor sweeping robot body with a dust box arranged on one side of the body. A dust-box discharge port is formed on the dust box and corresponds to a maintenance-station dust suction port. The maintenance-station dust suction port can be communicated with the dust-box discharge port by pressing an outer surface of the maintenance-station dust suction port. Advantages: (1) the charging, dust removal and maintenance operations on the floor sweeping robot are realized simultaneously; and, (2) dust in the dust box of the floor sweeping robot is sucked into a dust bag of the maintenance station by vacuum, so it is unnecessary to take out the dust box. Therefore, it is convenient to clean and will not pollute the external environment.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner or a docking station has momentum separator having first and second sidewalls which are porous. A first air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a first end wall, which is spaced from and faces the first side screen, and the first side screen. A second air flow chamber is located exterior to the momentum separator between a second end wall, which is spaced from and faces the second side screen, and the second side screen. In operation, air exits the momentum separator through the first and second side screens and travels through the first and second air flow chambers to the air outlet of the first and second air flow chambers.
