A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning head having at least one driven cleaning roller unit, a dirty fluid reservoir device arranged on the cleaning head, and a scraping guide device for dirty fluid that acts on the at least one cleaning roller unit, wherein the dirty fluid reservoir device has a container device for dirty fluid and a cover device for the container device, wherein a duct device for cleaning liquid is arranged on the cover device, and wherein there is arranged on the cover device an orifice device which is fluidically connected to the duct device and by means of which cleaning liquid is applicable to the at least one cleaning roller unit.

Surface cleaning machine with cover device for dirty fluid reservoir device

A surface cleaning machine is proposed which includes an appliance body and a cleaning head which is arranged on the appliance body, wherein at least one driven cleaning roller unit is positioned on the cleaning head and a dirty fluid tank device is arranged on the cleaning head, and a drive motor, wherein a scraper guide device which acts on the at least one cleaning roller unit is associated with the at least one cleaning roller unit, wherein the scraper guide device is arranged at an inlet orifice of the dirty fluid tank device, and wherein the scraper guide device is arranged and formed in such a way that dirty fluid is couplable from the at least one cleaning roller unit via the inlet orifice of the dirty fluid tank device into the dirty fluid tank device without a suction fan.

Surface cleaning machine

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a device body having a housing, a suction unit device having a fan, said suction unit device being arranged in the housing, a cleaning head which is arranged at the device body outside of the housing and comprises at least one cleaning roller and is operatively connected to the suction unit device for fluid communication therewith, an air-cooled drive motor for rotatingly driving the at least one cleaning roller, and a process air routing device for process air of the suction unit device, wherein the drive motor is arranged outside of the housing of the device body and wherein a cooling air routing device for cooling air of the drive motor comprises at least one fluid path which is arranged at or in the housing and/or wherein the cooling air routing device is coupled to the process air routing device.

A surface-cleaning machine is provided, including an appliance body on which a suction apparatus device is arranged, a cleaning head on which at least one cleaning roller is arranged and on which there is positioned at least one suction mouth, which is fluidically connected to the suction apparatus device and is associated with the at least one cleaning roller, and a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, wherein a drive axis of a drive motor of the drive device and an axis of rotation of the at least one cleaning roller are oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly with respect to one another.

Surface cleaning machine and method for operating a surface cleaning machine

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning roller holder, at least one cleaning roller which is arranged on the cleaning roller holder, a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, and a sweeping element which is associated with the at least one cleaning roller and which feeds swept material to the at least one cleaning roller, wherein the sweeping element, at least during a cleaning operation, projects with a front region into a jacket of the at least one cleaning roller, wherein a front face end of the sweeping element is arranged on the front region.

A surface-cleaning machine is provided, which includes an appliance body on which a suction apparatus device is arranged, a cleaning head on which at least one cleaning roller is arranged, and a drive device for driving the at least one cleaning roller in rotation, wherein the cleaning head has, between a first face side and an oppositely situated second face side, a first region, a second region and a central region situated between the first and second regions, and wherein at least one first suction mouth is positioned at the first region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller and at least one second suction mouth is positioned at the second region and associated with the at least one cleaning roller, wherein the at least one first suction mouth and the at least one second suction mouth are fluidically connected to the suction apparatus device.

Surface-cleaning machine

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning roller holder, a cleaning roller that is arranged on the cleaning roller holder, a drive device for rotary driving of the cleaning roller, and a sweeping element that is associated with the cleaning roller and supplies swept material to the cleaning roller, wherein the sweeping element is arranged rotatably on the cleaning roller holder.

A surface cleaning machine including at least one cleaning roller, a drive device for rotary driving of the at least one cleaning roller, a wetting device for applying cleaning liquid to the at least one cleaning roller, and a suction unit arrangement for generating a suction stream is provided. The suction unit arrangement is fluidically connected to at least one suction duct and at least one suction nozzle that is associated with the at least one cleaning roller. The wetting device includes at least one pressure-controlled switch that opens a fluid path for cleaning liquid to the at least one cleaning roller and shuts off the fluid path, and the at least one pressure-controlled switch is coupled to the at least one suction duct, wherein a suction stream in the at least one suction duct moves the pressure-controlled switch into the open position and/or maintains the open position.
