SELF-PROPELLED SURFACE TREATING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A self-propelled surface treating device (1), in particular a cleaning robot, with a device housing (2) and a collision detection device (4) for detecting a collision between the surface treating device (1) and an obstacle, wherein the collision detection device (4) has at least one touch-sensitive contact sensor (5), wherein the touch-sensitive contact sensor (5) is a vertical contact sensor (6), which is arranged on the device housing (2) in such a way that its detection area is vertically aligned during a movement with the surface treating device (1) conventionally oriented, so that the vertical contact sensor (6) is configured to detect a force acting vertically on the surface treating device (1).

Abstract
A self-propelled surface treating device, in particular a cleaning robot, with a device housing and a collision detection device for detecting a collision between the surface treating device and an obstacle, wherein the collision detection device has at least one touch-sensitive contact sensor. In order to protect the surface treating device against impacts in the vertical direction, it is proposed that the touch-sensitive contact sensor be a vertical contact sensor, which is arranged on the device housing in such a way that its detection area is vertically aligned during a movement with the surface treating device conventionally oriented, so that the vertical contact sensor is configured to detect a force acting vertically on the surface treating device.
