Surface maintenance vehicle with an integrated water trap for trapping residual waste

Embodiments include a waste recovery system for a floor surface maintenance machine. The waste recovery system comprises a squeegee assembly having a squeegee frame, a squeegee retainer extending below the squeegee frame and a reservoir integrally defined in the squeegee retainer. The reservoir can have an inlet passage proximal to the floor surface, an outlet passage fluidly coupled to the fluid suction path and leading to the waste recovery tank, and a fluid trap portion positioned between the inlet and outlet passages. The fluid trap portion can retain backflow fluids in the fluid suction path. The reservoir is positioned at a clearance distance from the floor surface in a direction normal to the floor surface such that the reservoir forms the lowest portion of the waste recovery system in the direction normal to the floor surface. 实施例包括用于地板表面维护机器的废物回收系统。废物回收系统包括刮扫组件，刮扫组件具有刮扫框架、在刮扫框架下方延伸的刮扫保持器，以及在刮扫保持器中体限定的储存器。储存器可具有靠近地板表面的入口通道、流体地联接到流体抽吸路径且通往废物回收箱的出口通道，以及定位在入口通道和出口通道之间的流体捕集部分。流体捕集部分能够将回流废物保持在流体抽吸路径中。储存器定位
