Patent for Innovative Dual-Arm Mopping Machine Revealed, Suspected of Easily Removing Stuck-On Sugar Residue
Phoenix News Technology Report 8/6, according to information on the official website of the National Intellectual Property Administration, Innovation Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.'s patent application for "Brush Component, Cleaning Equipment, and Cleaning System" (authorization number: CN222693287U) has been officially granted. The patent illustration reveals a design for a mopping machine brush component involving a "dual-arm" system.
The patent shows that the design integrates two sets of mechanical arm modules with autonomous control capabilities into the mopping machine's bottom structure, forming the "coordinated dual-arm" technology. Prior to this, network rumors had circulated about Innovation Technologies' new product testing videos, featuring equipment similar to the dual-arm system, which can thoroughly clean stuck-on sugar residue in just two passes, leaving little water residue behind. Its cleaning performance differs from that of existing mainstream products, drawing attention.
Industry insiders analyzed that the core value of this dual-arm system lies in its ability to enhance cleaning efficiency through "heterogeneous coordination" (such as one rigid and one flexible, or one main and one auxiliary). It has the potential to address current mopping machine performance bottlenecks in areas such as "edge cleaning" and " stubborn residue handling". Meanwhile, this structural design provides a larger hardware foundation for AI-driven more complex cleaning path planning, multi-task execution, and autonomous adjustment, making it an important direction for home cleaning robot structure innovation.
Innovation Technologies had previously applied the "Clever Intelligent Elevating Mechanical Arm" system to its T40 Ultra mopping machine in 2024, achieving automatic elevation and edge control. The recently granted dual-arm patent marks a further exploration of its mechanical structure coordination control in the field of washing machines.
