Abstract: An automatic cleaning robot is provided. The distance sensor is used to measure a plurality of pitches distances Y(t) between the automatic cleaner and a wall at a plurality of different time points t. And a control module is used to calculate a plurality of travel distances X(t) of the travelling device at the plurality of different time points t. According to the pitches distances Y(t) and the travel distances X(t), a deviation angle A between the travelling direction of the automatic cleaner and the extending direction of the wall is obtained.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a charging module with a moisture-proof pad and a cleaning system. The charging module is used for charging a cleaning device. The charging module includes a moisture-proof pad, a charging means and at least an adhesive sheet. The moisture-proof pad is used for disposing the cleaning device thereon. The charging means is disposed on the moisture-proof pad for charging the cleaning device. The adhesive sheet is disposed on a lower surface of the moisture-proof pad for adhering the moisture-proof pad to a surface. The adhesive sheet is disposed on the lower surface of the moisture-proof pad. The manufacturing method of the present disclosure is simple with low cost, and can reduce the problem that the moisture-proof pad of the charging module cannot be smoothly attached to the floor.

Abstract: A cleaning machine for cleaning particles on a plate member includes a first cleaning device, a second cleaning device, a driving module, a spraying module and a control system. The first cleaning device is rotatable on the plate member. The second cleaning device is rotatable on the plate member. The driving module connected to the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device drives the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device to rotate at least one of the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device. The spraying module sprays liquid. The control system coupled to the spraying module and the driving module controls operations of the spraying module and the driving module. The spraying module of the cleaning machine of the invention has a wider spraying range, so that a wetted range on the plate member is wider.
