Abstract: A cleaning appliance including a cleaning element, a liquid container, an electrically operated heater, and a controller for controlling the heater. The controller has an electronic circuit, and the electronic circuit is structured such that a thermal behavior of the heater is modeled therein. A temperature characteristic of the heater is represented by a voltage characteristic in the electronic circuit.

Abstract: A cleaning system includes: a cleaning appliance comprising a base member, which is provided with a mechanical cleaning arrangement, and a fluid tank; and a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the mechanical cleaning arrangement of the cleaning appliance, the cleaning apparatus including: a container having a recess for receiving the base member; and a nozzle arrangement associated with the recess. The nozzle arrangement is connected to an inlet in a flow-conducting manner. The fluid tank has an outlet which, to clean the cleaning arrangement, is connectable to the inlet of the cleaning apparatus.

Abstract: A cleaning robot including: a main body; a drive device; and a cleaning device equipped for wet-cleaning floors to be cleaned, wherein: the main body, on the side facing the floor to be cleaned, is assigned a receptacle unit, a first mop pad configured for wet-cleaning is fastened to the receptacle unit, and the cleaning robot is configured to autonomously exchange the first mop pad fastened to the receptacle unit for a second mop pad.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a housing; a drive device for automatically moving the cleaning device in a movement direction; and a wet-cleaning module accommodated in the housing, the wet-cleaning module including a moveable cleaning element for the wet cleaning of surfaces to be cleaned. The cleaning element is belt-shaped. In an embodiment, the wet-cleaning module has three positions for the belt-shaped cleaning element: a cleaning position, in which the cleaning element is configured to contact a surface to be cleaned with a cleaning surface; a parking position, in which the cleaning element is at a distance from the surface to be cleaned; and a regeneration position located between the cleaning position and the parking position, or a regeneration position located in the parking position in which the cleaning element is regeneratable. The wet-cleaning module has a transport mechanism for moving the cleaning element into its cleaning, parking, and regeneration positions.

Abstract: A wheel includes: a hub; and a running wheel body, which includes a tread on an outer periphery thereof. The tread includes segments. The segments are essentially planar. First segments of the segments are inclined toward one end face of the running wheel body and second segments of the segments are inclined toward an other end face of the running wheel body.

Abstract: A closure element for a mixing container of a blender, which comprises a pouring area for ingredients, the pouring area having an outlet opening into the underlying container of the blender, and comprises a measuring area which is disposed next to or under the pouring area and is separated from the pouring area.

Abstract: A hand blender containing a blade arrangement for a domestic appliance for cutting and comminuting food containing a rotatable blade with a hub which lies at a center of rotation of the blade for receiving a shaft. The blade includes at least one cutter which extends radially and which has a cutting edge that lies on a front side in the rotational direction and defines a circular cutting zone when circulating. The blade also includes a milling rib which protrudes upwards from the blade in an axial direction and is oriented so as to produce a milling effect when circulating and defines a corresponding milling zone that extends from the hub to the cutting zone of the cutter.

Abstract: An implement for stirring or comminuting, containing a drive motor arranged in a motor housing, a stem, in which a shaft connected to the drive motor in a rotationally rigid manner is mounted, and which is divided into an inner and an outer assembly, wherein the outer assembly has a shield at an end remote from the motor housing, and a working part surrounded by the shield, wherein the shaft is guided in an axially immovable manner in the inner assembly and the inner assembly is axially movable relative to the outer assembly. The working part is fixedly connected to the stem and is mounted in an axially immovable manner in the inner assembly, such that the working part can move in relation to the shield.
