Improvements or upgrades to robots

I rent a 5xx rumba with a new garbage container and a brush block from the 7xx model, the person wanted it in this configuration, I had to remove it from the home robot, and put the old Vacuum bin that had accumulated after the upgrades and lie idle like suitcases without a handle, it's a pity to throw it away. But with the cat in the apartment, the Vacuum bin quickly clogs in the comb with wool and leaves traces of dust on the carpet and when turning. And since you quickly get used to the good (AeroVac bin), I wanted to slightly modernize the old collection. After careful consideration and the conclusion that the blue filter can be inserted only after a global rework of the garbage container, an easier way was found, in the partition between the compartments on which the fan is mounted on both sides around the filter, two holes were cut
Let's drill holes:

The holes are cut:

The rubber band of the comb was removed from the transparent cover and the remaining holes were filled with hot melt glue, and a suitable seal was glued to the filter holder directly to the comb that was found by our local electrician / plumber / furniture maker Vladimir Grigorievich.
Refinement of the transparent cover and sealing insert:

To complete the structure, a comb was cut on the filter holder along the edge of the seal
The rubber comb on the filter cover is cut off:

And we got such a complete design.
General view, it remains only to test it on a regular cleaning .:

it remains only to check why I spent 40 minutes on entertainment.

This is what I saw after cleaning:
On the second it turned out:


Unfortunately, it was not possible to shake out the debris in one movement, it got stuck in the windows of the filter and the motor cover, but shake it a little and everything fell out.
Opening the filter holder to

The usual pile of rubbish that I collect every day. on


But the most striking thing was that the brushes were clean, there were no long hairs on the pussies and not a single hair on the rubber ones, and there was no wool on the edges of the brushes near the bearings and square parts of the gearbox.
But the most striking thing is that the brush is clean:

The rubber brush is also completely clean:


The next day, the brushes are also completely clean, and there is visually more debris.
And the brushes are clean again the next day:

Garbage on the second day, at a glance even more:

It turned out that I had not discovered America and many people had already done such an upgrade, Srge ISA, but the most interesting thing is that he found a lid with teeth for AeroVac Bin
lid with teeth. I will definitely order myself one.
