Abstract: A self-moving robot system is provided, including a dust collection base station and a self-moving robot, where the self-moving robot includes a main machine and a dust containing box; the dust collection base station includes a power mechanism and a transfer, where the transfer can assist separation of the dust containing box from the main machine or mounting of the dust containing box on the main machine; and the power mechanism drives the transfer to move the dust containing box to a dust collection opening of a dust collector, so as to transfer debris to the dust collector. The dust containing box is transferred by the transfer with relatively low working noise. During dust collection, there is no need to move the entire self-moving robot with a relatively small system load and relatively high use comfort of a user.

Abstract: An extraction interface for connecting a first flow channel to a second flow channel in an airtight manner has a main body with an extraction opening. The extraction opening has an opening plane and a sealing element that surrounds the extraction opening in the circumferential direction. In order to improve a sealing effect of the sealing element, the sealing element is an elastic bellows, which when viewed in a cross section oriented orthogonal to the opening plane has in a relaxed state of the sealing element an E-shape with at least one bending point, two legs that meet in the bending point and two leg end regions adjoining the legs. The leg end regions point radially outward in a direction facing away from the extraction opening and are connected to two locally separated connecting points of the main body.

Abstract: A mobile robot includes a body configured to traverse a surface and to receive debris from the surface, and a debris bin within the body. The debris bin includes a chamber to hold the debris received by the mobile robot, an exhaust port through which the debris exits the debris bin; and a door unit over the exhaust port. The door unit includes a flap configured to move, in response to air pressure at the exhaust port, between a closed position to cover the exhaust port and an open position to open a path between the chamber and the exhaust port. The door unit, including the flap in the open position and in the closed position, is within an exterior surface of the mobile robot.
