History of Window Washer

The first traditional vacuum cleaner was invented almost a century and a half ago, and the device designed for washing windows was created recently - in 2010. Such a device has nothing to do with the usual household appliance for cleaning an apartment, except that it copes with its duties perfectly, like its “elder brother”.

At its core, a window cleaner is not a familiar appliance for us, but a smart robot that has its own intelligent system. The first such system was designed in 2010 in Korea. The development of a smart and compact assistant was carried out by the engineers of the design bureau of the company Ilshim Global. Together with the Institute of Robotics, the Korean company has released the world's first robot vacuum cleaner for washing windows.

Window cleanerThe device, which perfectly clean windows without streaks, can also be used to clean any smooth surfaces, such as mirrors, ceramic tiles, glass surfaces.

Important! It is noteworthy that before the development of an intelligent assistant, the company was exclusively engaged in the production of microfiber fabric, which is used not only in everyday life, but also in industry. Following the first device, the second modification of the device was released, and only after that European manufacturers joined the production of a similar device.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner Windoro

A compact washing window cleaner was developed by specialists of the Korean company Ilshim Global. The first model of the device was equipped with a lithium-ion battery. In an advanced modification, lithium-polymer batteries have already been used.

System device

The device consists of two modules: the first is used for navigation purposes, and the second - for washing the glass surface.

The principle of operation of the unit, as well as its operation is simple: the navigator is mounted on the inside of the window, and the second module with the wiper function is fixed on a dirty surface. The modules are held on the glass using permanent magnets.This is very convenient, since if the device is completely discharged, then, thanks to a reliable fixation, it will not fall.

Important! The navigation device calculates the surface area to be treated, measures the amount of work and sets the route of movement for the wiper module. As a result, the navigator passes from the frame to the frame in the vertical and horizontal direction, touching the frame with a bumper.

The wiper module of the device is equipped with:

  • Rotating microfiber pillows.
  • Detergent spray.

The cleaning module moves strictly behind the navigator, making sequential movements along the snake. At its center is a hole for spraying liquid. Around the hole for spraying the cleaning fluid are Velcro fastening microfiber pads.

Disadvantages in the operation of the unit:

  1. The device can only be used on a window with a distance between glasses of up to 15 mm. A new modification of the device has a distance indicator ranging from 16 to 28 mm.
  2. The glass surface located near the window frame must be treated only with scrapers, not pads.
  3. Heavily contaminated surface for high-quality cleaning must be processed at least 2 times.

Dignity:

  • You can use the Windbot device, regardless of the distance between the glass panes.
