A New Machine to Clean Up Back Streets

Nowadays, with the gradual increase of urbanization, people's yearning for a better life is even stronger. As an important part of urban governance, urban environmental sanitation management not only needs to ensure the cleanliness of the “facade” of the main street, but also pay attention to the “inside” of the back streets.

Usually, due to the narrow roads in the back streets, manual cleaning is inefficient and costly. Wuhan DDROBO Robotics Co., Ltd. recently launched a small, multi-functional outdoor vacuum cleaner, which is the ideal solution for cleaning the back streets. Compact, easy to use and 100% electric, it enhances your city’s quality of life and attractiveness. With a turning radius of less than 2 meters, the street vacuum cleaner can move freely in the back streets. Thanks to the automatic follow-up system, the urban vacuum cleaner can automatically recognize and follow the operator, which is more comfortable than holding the broom to sweep the rubbish.

Operating with no noise and zero emissions, DDROBO street vacuum cleaner minimizes environmental air pollution. For garbage such as cigarette butts in the cobblestone, the operator only needs to hold the 12cm diameter suction pipe directly to the garbage, and the garbage will be removed into the 240L trash can. If the operator encounter that cannot be sucked in through the suction hose, he can pick them up with the broom kit and drop in the large side bin. It is also equipped with headlights that can be used in the fog or in the early hours of the morning.

Electric Street Vacuum Cleaner in China

Street vacuum cleaner, also known as an urban vacuum cleaner or outdoor waste vacuum cleaner, etc., is a new type of cleaning equipment. It designed for picking up all kinds of waste that can pass through a tube 12cm in diameter. It deals efficiently with both industrial and urban waste: paper, cardboard, cigarette packets and butts, cans and glass, plastic or metal bottles, dog feces, dead leaves, waste trapped in tree grills, wood, steel and aluminum chips etc. Street vacuum cleaners are not very common in China, but in developed countries, it can be seen everywhere, such as airports, parks, warehouses, scenic spots, alleys, etc.   

Street vacuum cleaners are fully enclosed, centralized collection, avoiding secondary dust pollution, significantly reducing the concentration of TSP and PM2.5, and effectively improving the level of refinement operations. In addition, the vehicle also uses wireless mobile communication technology to transmit job data and images in real time to realize the “Internet of Things & Smart Sanitation” management mode.

Similar to the working principle of the traditional vacuum cleaner, the street vacuum cleaner uses the motor to drive the fan impeller to rotate at a high speed, so that the air in the impeller is discharged at a very high speed, and a transient vacuum is formed in the machine to form a certain negative pressure difference with the outside. Under the action, garbage is sucked into the machine to achieve the purpose of cleaning and vacuuming.

The street vacuum cleaner is mainly composed of a vacuum system, water cleaning system, air filtration system, garbage collection system, energy system, and follow-up motion system. The various sections are as follows:

1. Vacuum system: It consists of a fan and a series of pipes to provide enough vacuum for the vacuum cleaner to absorb the garbage on the road.

2. Water cleaning system: It consists of a water tank, booster pump, high-pressure water gun and nozzle. The main function is to use high-pressure water to clean road surface stains and settle dust.

3. Energy system: It consists of a battery and related control components to provide power for the vacuum cleaner.

4. Follow the movement system: It consists of the drive wheel, the steering wheel and the following motion control system. When the operator holds the follow-up signal transmitter, the vacuum cleaner will recognize the operator and follow his movements even in a crowded city context.

5. Garbage collection system: It consists of garbage bins and related sensors. The sensors can identify the height of the garbage in the bin and promptly remind the operator to handle the garbage.

6. Air filtration system: Filter the air sucked into the vacuum cleaner to prevent dust from entering the fan and discharging it into the air again.

Street Vacuum Cleaner – Give Warmth to Street Cleaners

In China, if you get up early, you will see a group of people in the streets of the city. They wear vests, struggled to move the tricycles with rubbish, and walk around in every corner of the city. They are the city's street cleaners. Whenever evening falls, there are a lot of dead leaves or rubbish left in the streets. But when we wake up the next day, we will find the streets are still neat and clean. This is the result of the hard work of the street cleaners early in the morning.

There is now a smart urban street vacuum cleaner on the market that can help reduce the workload of street cleaners. The waste vacuum cleaner is similar in function to a home vacuum cleaner, except that the model size is much larger. The street vacuum cleaner looks like a small car from the outside, but the difference is that there is a pipe on the machine to collect garbage.

The most special thing is that the vacuum cleaner does not require the driver to control the direction inside. The machine is designed with an automatic following system, which can intelligently identify and follow the movement of the sanitation workers.

With the urban vacuum cleaner, the sanitation workers just need to take it around the city streets. Just press a button, the vacuum cleaner will suck all kinds of garbage into the pipeline, and collect it in the back dustbin for centralized processing. In this way, the work of sanitation workers becomes very relaxed, and it is like walking on the streets.
