Washable cleaning boxes for robotic vacuum cleaners

摘要

To improve a cleaning bin mountable to an autonomous cleaning robot and provide an improved autonomous cleaning robot.SOLUTION: A cleaning bin mountable to an autonomous cleaning robot operable to receive debris from a floor surface includes an inlet positioned between lateral sides of the cleaning bin and an outlet configured to connect to a vacuum assembly, the vacuum assembly connecting to an outlet of the cleaning bin. The cleaning bin also includes a debris chamber, an airflow chamber separated from the debris chamber by a prefilter forming at least a portion of a top surface of the debris chamber and the prefilter forming at least a portion of a bottom surface of the airflow chamber, and a filter socket configured to receive a filter and provide an airflow through the filter to the outlet of the cleaning bin. The filter is positioned substantially perpendicular to the prefilter when the filter is positioned in the filter socket.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
