A cleaning station for vacuum robots for cleaning floor surfaces, the cleaning station having a housing, the housing having an electrical interface, the interface being designed to contact a vacuum robot approaching the cleaning station for charging, the housing having a suction device, the suction device being designed to empty a vacuum robot approaching the cleaning station for emptying. The housing has at least one status display, the status display being designed to display an operating status of the interface and/or the suction device, wherein the status display comprises at least one projection apparatus. The projection apparatus is designed to project the operating status of the interface and/or the suction device onto the vacuum robot which has approached and/or onto the floor surface and/or onto a wall surface surrounding the cleaning station.

The invention relates to a bearing arrangement () having at least one first bearing element () and one second bearing element (), which are connected to each other rotatably relative to each other along a common longitudinal axis (), wherein the bearing element () comprises a braking device () which inhibits the relative rotation of the two bearing elements () to each other, wherein the braking device () comprises a brake element () connected to the first bearing element (), a counter surface () connected to the second bearing element (), and at least one spring element () which presses the brake element () against the counter surface () using the spring force for generating a frictional engagement, and an actuable adjustment device (), by means of which a contact force by which the brake element () is pressed against the counter surface () may be reduced, wherein the counter surface () is arranged on an extension () of the second bearing element (), which is oriented transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the effective direction of the contact force, wherein said extension () is formed integrally with the second bearing element ().

Bearing arrangement

A trolley and method for loading and unloading cleaning robots into a trolley, including for storing, emptying and supplying energy to cleaning robots. The trolley includes an energy supply unit, storage compartments, each storage compartment having a charging contact which is designed to be contacted with a cleaning robot arranged in the corresponding storage compartment to supply the cleaning robot with energy, transport wheels configured to move the trolley over a substrate, a suction system having a foldable suction platform configured to empty one of the cleaning robots arranged on the suction platform, a lift system with a foldable receiving element configured to transport the cleaning robots individually by way of the receiving element in its unfolded state to the storage compartments and away from the storage compartments, and at least one door element configured to close or expose the foldable receiving element and the foldable suction platform.

Trolley and method for loading and unloading cleaning robots into and out of a trolley

The invention relates to a bearing assembly () comprising at least one first bearing element () and a second bearing element () which are rotatably connected relative to each other along a common longitudinal axis (). The bearing assembly () comprises a brake device () which inhibits the rotation of the two bearing elements () relative to each other by means of a frictional force produced by the brake device (), wherein the brake device () has at least one frictional element () and at least one clamping device (), by means of which the frictional element () is permanently clamped against one of the two bearing elements (). The bearing assembly also comprises a coupling device () which can be moved between an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the brake device () is engaged, whereby when the two bearing elements () rotate relative to each other, the rotation is inhibited by the frictional force produced by the brake device (), and in the open state, the brake device () is disengaged.

Bearing assembly

The invention relates to bearing assembly () comprising at least one first bearing element () and one second bearing element () which are connected together along a longitudinal axis () in a rotatable manner relative to each other, wherein the bearing assembly () comprises a brake device (), which inhibits the rotation of the two bearing elements () relative to each other by means of a frictional force produced by the brake device (), and an adjustment device (), by means of which the brake force which is applied during the rotation the two bearing elements () relative to each other can be modified, wherein an adjustment device () comprises at least two wedge elements (), each of which has a wedge surface () that rests against each other and which can be moved relative to each other in a sliding manner against each other in order to modify the brake force.
