Abstract
A system for a self-cleaning squeegee that is integrated with a semi-autonomous cleaning device includes a frame coupled to the cleaning device. A squeegee is coupled to the frame and oriented such that an edge of the squeegee is in close proximity to a surface, e.g., a floor, for cleaning. A manifold configured to receive a cleaning fluid is coupled to the frame and oriented such that the cleaning fluid can be dispersed onto at least a portion of the squeegee. A connecting member is used to couple the manifold to an external fluid distribution system that provides the cleaning fluid. The self-cleaning squeegee system can thus disperse pressurized cleaning fluid, e.g., water or a mixture of water and soap, via the manifold to clean the surface of a squeegee. In this manner, the self-cleaning squeegee system can clean squeegees on the cleaning device without the need for human intervention.
