SELF-PROPELLED SURFACE CLEANING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SELF-PROPELLED SURFACE CLEANING MACHINE
First Claim
1. A self-propelled surface cleaning machine, comprising:
- a front wheel device;
a steering device associated with the front wheel device;
a steering angle sensor device by which a steering angle at the front wheel device is detectable;
a rear wheel device having at least one left rear wheel and at least one right rear wheel;
a first electromotive drive device associated with the at least one left rear wheel;
a second electromotive drive device associated with the at least one right rear wheel;
a cleaning liquid application device by which cleaning liquid is applicable to a floor/ground in an application area that is arranged between the front wheel device and the rear wheel device; and
a control device operatively connected for signal communication with the steering angle sensor device, the first electromotive drive device and the second electromotive drive device,wherein each of the first electromotive drive device and the second electromotive drive device is controllable individually depending on signals from the steering angle sensor device.
