    摘要: A floor cleaning system may include a docking station to which an autonomous floor cleaning machine can dock between cleaning operations. The docking station can provide power to the autonomous floor cleaning machine to recharge the batteries of the machine when not in use. The docking station may also supply fresh cleaning fluid to the floor cleaning machine and remove collected waste from the machine. In practice, the floor cleaning machine may itself become dirty over repeated use, such as when cleaning greasy floor surfaces. Accordingly, the docking station may include flushing orifices to clean the floor cleaning machine itself, such as with a degreasing composition.

    摘要: An Internet of Things sanitization system and method of operation through a blockchain network provides one or more independently operating sanitizing assemblies comprise a reservoir containing sanitizing medium and a sanitizing mechanism work to sanitize/clean a surface. The sanitizing assemblies connect through a blockchain network, so as to generate, collect, process, and communicate data pertinent to the cleaning. The data is transmitted across a peer-to-peer network, such as a blockchain network for the purposes of: identifying a user; determining which of the sanitizing assemblies and components thereof are operable, and determining usage metrics of the sanitization assemblies. Data is collected directly from the sanitizing assemblies through various user input interfaces. An Internet of Things motherboard operational in the sanitizing assemblies to enable communication between sanitizing assemblies, network nodes, and a centralized server. A network controller and a network interface enhance operation and communications for the sanitizing assemblies.

    摘要: A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing including an upright handle assembly and a base mounted to the upright handle assembly and adapted for movement across a surface to be cleaned. The surface cleaning apparatus is further provided with a fluid delivery system comprising a fluid dispenser configured to dispense fluid to a brushroll and at least one fluid delivery channel forming a portion of a fluid delivery pathway. The fluid delivery channel can extend adjacent to a portion of the suction nozzle assembly. An interference wiper interfaces with a portion of the brushroll to remove excess liquid from the brushroll.
