  • Publication number: 20220079400
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200060497
    Abstract: Provided are a self-cleaning method of a self-moving cleaning robot and a self-moving cleaning robot which has both a working mode and a self-cleaning mode. When the self-moving cleaning robot needs to perform self-cleaning, the following steps are performed: controlling the robot to enter the self-cleaning mode; enabling the robot to start a self-cleaning action; and after a self-cleaning condition is satisfied, ending the self-cleaning mode. The present disclosure automatically clean part of the stains left at a rolling brush, a rolling brush cavity, a water suction port, a dust suction port and an air duct of the self-moving cleaning robot without changing an original working mode of the self-moving cleaning robot, and can prevent remaining pollutants from dropping onto a working surface to cause secondary pollution, is easy to operate and convenient to control, and can effectively realize a self-cleaning process of the self-moving cleaning robot.

  • Patent number: 8671512
    Abstract: 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.
