Patent number: 11653807Abstract: The present disclosure provides a self-cleaning method of a self-moving cleaning robot and a self-moving cleaning robot. The self-moving cleaning robot has both a basic working mode and a self-cleaning mode. When the self-moving cleaning robot needs to perform self-cleaning, the following steps are performed: step 100: controlling the self-moving cleaning robot to enter the self-cleaning mode; step 200: performing, by the self-moving cleaning robot, at least one self-cleaning action; and step 300: when at least one condition for ending the self-cleaning action is met, exiting the self-cleaning mode, the step 100 includes: adjusting parameters related to the operation of the self-moving cleaning robot while substantially maintaining the basic working mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: ECOVACS ROBOTICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Zeheng Tang, Shoumu Wang

Publication number: 20220079400Abstract: A surface cleaning robot includes: a first cleaning unit arranged at a bottom of a main body; and a second cleaning unit arranged on one side of the main body. The second cleaning unit rotates under the action of a drive mechanism. Compared with the prior art, the surface cleaning robot cleans, by means of the second cleaning unit on one side of the main body, a surface to be cleaned. The driving of the second cleaning unit is independent from the walking of the surface cleaning robot, which is different from the prior art where bottom cleaning is performed while the surface cleaning robot walks. Therefore, rollers having a large volume are omitted. By driving the second cleaning unit to rotate, the cleaning effect is better improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2019Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: ECOVACS ROBOTICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Shoumu WANG, Jianfeng HU

Patent number: 8671512Abstract: The present invention relates to a cyclonic vacuum cleaner comprising a main body of vacuum cleaner, in which a cyclonic separating device and a suction device are provided. The cyclonic separating device comprises a chamber body enclosed by a side wall and a base plate, and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. After entering the chamber body, air flow swirls along the inner wall of chamber body, forms cyclonic separation air flow and makes air-solid separation. The separated air flow enters the suction device via the air outlet, and the body of the suction device is at least partially inserted into the cyclonic separation air flow. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner of the present invention is featured by reduced volume and compact structure, not only facilitating the use of such product, but also providing more space for the product design while providing the desired dust separation effect.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: TEK Electrical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dongqi Qian, Shoumu Wang
