Self-propelled cleaning device
A self-propelled cleaning device has a surface cleaning system for cleaning a surface to be cleaned. In order to also be able to clean an above-floor surface, the cleaning device also has an above-floor cleaning element for mechanically cleaning an above-floor surface offset in terms of height relative to the surface. The above-floor cleaning element can be rotated and/or pivoted around a rotational axis, and at least one partial cleaning area of the above-floor cleaning element has a difference in height of roughly 3 cm or more relative to a lowermost standing surface of the cleaning device by comparison to a usual orientation of the cleaning device for a cleaning operation.
1. A self-propelled cleaning device comprising:
a housing,
a surface cleaning system for cleaning a surface to be cleaned,
an above-floor cleaning element for mechanically cleaning an above-floor surface vertically offset relative to the surface to be cleaned, wherein the above-floor cleaning element is configured to be rotated or pivoted around a rotational axis, and at least one partial cleaning area of the above-floor cleaning element has a difference in height of at least 3 cm relative to a lowermost standing surface of the cleaning device when the cleaning device is conducting a cleaning operation, and
a regeneration element in the form of a wiping lip, a brush or a comb arranged on the housing in such a way that the above-floor cleaning element brushes against the regeneration element while shifting relative to the housing.
2. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the above-floor cleaning element has at least one of a brush, a roller and a comb.
3. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational axis is arranged essentially perpendicular to the standing surface of the cleaning device.
4. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the above-floor cleaning element has bristles or filaments that each have a free end area pointing downwardly from their fastening location on the rotational axis in relation to a usual orientation of the cleaning device for a cleaning operation.
5. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the above-floor cleaning element can be shifted toward the housing, into the housing, and/or out of the housing.
6. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the above-floor cleaning element can be shifted relative to the housing while changing the height difference.
7. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , further comprising a spring element allocated to the rotational axis, said spring element being arranged on the cleaning device and being designed in such a way that a restoring force of the spring element acts in a direction directed away from a housing of the cleaning device, or wherein the spring element is configured to be locked in a tensioned position through exposure to a force opposite the restoring force.
8. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control system that controls a shifting and/or rotation of the above-floor cleaning element relative to the housing of the cleaning device as a function of a detection signal of a detection system, wherein the detection system is set up to detect an above-floor surface.
