How Dewo Electronics Microswitches Power the Future of Floor Cleaning Robots

Column:News    Release time:2025-08-01     Number of readers:53

In today’s fast-paced world, smart devices are reshaping how we clean our homes and businesses—and floor cleaning robots are leading that transformation. But while sleek exteriors and advanced algorithms often get the spotlight, it’s the internal components—like microswitches—that do the real heavy lifting.

At Dewo Electronics, we manufacture the microswitches that bring these robotic cleaners to life. As the owner of a company dedicated to precision-engineered switching solutions, I’m excited to share how our products play a vital role in making floor cleaning robots more intelligent, reliable, and efficient.


Collision Detection and Navigation: A Smarter Way to Move

 

Obstacle Detection

Floor cleaning robots navigate complex indoor spaces, often filled with furniture, walls, and tight corners. Dewo microswitches provide ultra-fast snap-action feedback when the robot encounters an obstacle, prompting it to stop, reverse, or reroute—avoiding damage to both the unit and its surroundings.

Bumper Mechanism

Our switches are widely integrated into bumper designs. When the bumper is pressed, our highly sensitive microswitches activate instantly. This ensures smooth redirection and adds a physical layer of protection, powered by high-precision actuation and long cycle life.

Edge Detection

Falling down stairs or ledges can be fatal for a robot cleaner. Dewo switches support edge detection modules, activating when a ledge is detected to stop the robot in its tracks—ensuring both safety and longevity.


Dirt Detection and Cleaning Performance

 

Smart Dirt Sensing

Certain advanced robot models use Dewo microswitches to detect dirt-rich areas. Upon detection, the robot adjusts its behavior—triggering extra suction or repeat passes—ensuring spotless cleaning where it's needed most.

Brush Activation

Our microswitches also help control brush motor engagement. Instead of running continuously, the brushes activate only when needed, conserving energy and extending the robot's battery life. It's smarter, cleaner, and more efficient—thanks to responsive switching technology.


Automatic Docking and Battery Management

 

Docking Alignment

Our microswitches are embedded in docking stations to confirm proper robot alignment before charging begins. When the switch is triggered, the system knows it’s safe to recharge—no guesswork, just seamless functionality.

Battery Safety

Overcharging batteries can reduce robot lifespan. Dewo switches help monitor charging cycles, acting as protective cut-offs when thresholds are reached. This preserves battery health and maximizes performance.

The Future of Microswitches in Smart Robotics

 

Solid-State Microswitches

We’re exploring non-mechanical alternatives that eliminate physical wear altogether—ideal for heavy-use robotic systems.

Miniaturization

Our R&D is driving smaller, thinner switch designs without sacrificing performance. This gives engineers more flexibility in compact robotic designs.

Smart Embedded Switches

Coming soon: microswitches with built-in sensors for pressure, temperature, or contact feedback—feeding directly into robotic control systems for smarter behavior.

IoT & Cloud Connectivity

Imagine your cleaning robot sending you real-time cleaning stats, alerts, or maintenance reminders—all powered by switch-integrated data collection. We’re making it possible.
