Abstract
The invention relates to a vacuum robot with at least one cleaning roller (4) extending transversely to a processing direction (3) and having an elongated roller body (5), wherein the cleaning roller (4) can be removed from and reinserted into the vacuum robot (1) for replacement and / or cleaning, wherein the inserted cleaning roller (4) is rotatably driven on a first bearing side (6) in the vacuum robot (1) via a drive pin (7) of the cleaning roller (4), wherein the inserted cleaning roller (4) is supported on a second bearing side (8) in the vacuum robot (1) via a floating bearing (9), wherein the floating bearing (9) of the cleaning roller (4) has a spring-loaded bearing bushing (10), wherein the bearing bushing (10) of the inserted cleaning roller (4) is received in a bearing receptacle (11) of the vacuum robot (1), wherein a spring (12) axially presses the bearing bushing (10) against the roller body (5) of the cleaning roller (4) against the bearing receptacle (11) by means of a spring force (F). relocated,wherein the spring force (F) of the spring (12) displaces the drive pin (7) of the inserted cleaning roller (4) axially against a drive pin receptacle (13) of the vacuum robot (1).
