Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and particularly relates to a cleaning device and a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] A cleaning device is a common intelligent cleaning appliance, such as a floor sweeping robot, an automatic floor sweeper, etc. The cleaning device can deeply clean cleaning surfaces such as floors, tiles, carpets, etc. The cleaning device includes a cleaning component for cleaning the cleaning surface. The cleaning component has a lifting function and can be driven by a motor to rise or fall under different application environments and different application requirements.

[0003] The cleaning device may further include a ranging component. For example, a Laser Distance Sensor (LDS). The ranging component is the core component for the cleaning device to achieve precise positioning and map construction. In the related art, the cleaning component and the ranging component are stacked in the rear area of the body.

[0004] However, when the ranging component has a lifting function, a movement space for the ranging component needs to be reserved on the body. Therefore, spaces in the height direction of the body need to be reserved for both the cleaning component and the ranging component to meet their respective lifting requirements. The movement spaces of the cleaning component and the ranging component are likely to conflict with each other. When ensuring the movement spaces of the cleaning component and the ranging component, it is likely to cause an increase in the overall height of the cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a cleaning device and a cleaning system, which can solve the problem that it is difficult to balance the movement spaces of the cleaning component and the ranging component.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cleaning device, which includes:

[0007] A body;

[0008] A ranging component, which is arranged on a side of the body facing away from the cleaning surface, and can be lifted and lowered along the height direction of the body;

[0009] A cleaning component, which is arranged on a side of the body facing the cleaning surface, and can be lifted and lowered along the height direction of the body;

[0010] Wherein, along the height direction of the body, the ranging component and the cleaning component are arranged staggeredly.

[0011] For the cleaning device provided by the present application, in the height direction of the body, the ranging component and the cleaning component are respectively located on both sides of the body. The ranging component can be lifted and lowered to extend out of or retract into the body, and the cleaning component can be lifted and lowered to adjust the cleaning pressure on the surface to be cleaned. By arranging the ranging component and the cleaning component to be staggered in the height direction of the body, the lifting movement of the ranging component is not likely to occupy the space for the lifting movement of the cleaning component, and the lifting movement of the cleaning component is not likely to occupy the space for the lifting movement of the ranging component either. Therefore, the lifting movements of the ranging component and the cleaning component do not affect each other, so as to ensure the effective movement of the ranging component and the cleaning component. Moreover, it is also possible to reduce the possibility that the overall height dimension of the cleaning device increases to ensure the lifting strokes of the ranging component and the cleaning component, making it difficult to enter low spaces and affecting the cleaning effect.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present application, along the forward direction of the body, the dust box of the cleaning device is close to the middle area of the body, the cleaning component is located in the rear side area of the body, and the ranging component is close to the dust box.

[0013] In the embodiment of the present application, since the dust box is close to the middle area of the body, by arranging the ranging component close to the dust box, the ranging component can be close to the middle area of the body, which is beneficial to improving the recognition accuracy of the ranging component.

[0014] Specifically, taking the ranging component as a lidar sensor as an example, when the ranging component is located in the middle area of the body, it can enable the lidar to perform 360° unobstructed scanning when rotating in the horizontal direction, ensuring more comprehensive data coverage during map building and positioning, reducing detection blind spots, thereby reducing the possibility that the ranging distance on one side is limited due to the offset of the ranging component and affecting the recognition accuracy, and being beneficial to improving the recognition accuracy in complex areas such as corners and furniture edges.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present application, along the forward direction of the body, the ranging component is located on the side of the dust box away from the cleaning component.

[0016] In the embodiment of the present application, along the forward direction of the body, the dust box is close to the middle area of the body, and the cleaning component is located in the rear side area of the body. Therefore, when the ranging component is located on the side of the dust box away from the cleaning component, the ranging component can be located in the front side area of the body. When the ranging component is located in front of the dust box, since the cleaning component is located in the rear side area of the body, the lifting movements of the ranging component and the cleaning component are not likely to interfere with each other.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present application, it further includes a water tank component. In the height direction of the body, the ranging component and the water tank component are staggered.

[0018] In the embodiments of the present application, the water tank assembly has a water storage function. The water tank assembly can supply clean water to the cleaning assembly to wet the cleaning assembly, so as to achieve wet cleaning of the surface to be cleaned. By arranging the distance measuring assembly and the water tank assembly to be staggered in the height direction of the fuselage, the lifting movement of the distance measuring assembly and the height of the water tank assembly are not easily affected by each other, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility that the lifting movement of the distance measuring assembly limits the height of the water tank assembly, thereby affecting the cleaning effect. Moreover, it is also beneficial to reduce the possibility that the height of the water tank assembly affects the lifting space of the distance measuring assembly.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present application, the water tank assembly is located in the rear area of the fuselage. Along the forward direction of the fuselage, the distance measuring assembly and the water tank assembly are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning assembly.

[0020] It should be noted that when the height of the water tank assembly is affected by the distance measuring assembly or the cleaning assembly, the height of the water tank assembly decreases, and the height of the sewage tank decreases. At this time, the sewage in the sewage tank is easily discharged under the action of the suction pump, and the sewage circulates, resulting in pollution of the surface to be cleaned and the phenomenon of getting dirtier and dirtier during mopping.

[0021] In the embodiments of the present application, along the forward direction of the fuselage, by arranging the distance measuring assembly and the water tank assembly on both sides of the cleaning assembly respectively, the distance measuring assembly, the water tank assembly and the cleaning assembly are not easily affected by each other in the height direction of the fuselage.

[0022] Specifically, the distance measuring assembly and the water tank assembly are arranged to be staggered in the height direction of the fuselage. Therefore, the lifting movement of the distance measuring assembly and the height of the water tank assembly are not easily affected by each other. Moreover, the distance measuring assembly and the cleaning assembly can be arranged to be staggered in the height direction of the fuselage, so that the lifting movement of the distance measuring assembly and the lifting movement of the cleaning assembly are not easily affected by each other. In addition, the cleaning assembly and the water tank assembly are also arranged to be staggered in the height direction of the fuselage. Therefore, the lifting movement of the cleaning assembly and the height of the water tank assembly are not easily affected by each other.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present application, the water tank assembly is detachably connected to the fuselage.

[0024] In the embodiments of the present application, since structures such as the distance measuring assembly, the cleaning assembly, and the dust box are not easily affect the height of the water tank assembly, the capacity of the water tank assembly can be set relatively large to meet the water supply demand for the cleaning assembly and the accommodation demand for the sewage on the cleaning assembly, thereby improving the cleaning effect of cleaning the surface to be cleaned with running water.

[0025] When the water tank assembly includes a sewage tank, if the sewage tank is not cleaned for a long time, it is easy to produce peculiar smell and breed bacteria. Since the capacity of the water tank assembly in the embodiment of the present application is relatively large, it is relatively easy to make the water tank assembly detachable. Therefore, by setting the water tank assembly to be detachably connected to the fuselage, it is convenient for users to maintain and clean the water tank assembly.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present application, it further includes a voice control module, and the voice control module and the ranging component are of a split structure.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the voice control module and the ranging component to be of a split structure, compared with the case where the ranging component is arranged above the voice control module, it can make the ranging component less likely to occupy the space above the voice control module, so as to optimize the height dimension of the whole cleaning device without affecting the lifting function of the ranging component, thereby improving the ability of the cleaning device to enter low spaces.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present application, it further includes a voice control module, and the voice control module is arranged in the front side area of the fuselage;

[0029] The ranging component is located on the side of the dust box away from the voice control module.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the voice control module can be used to realize convenient interaction between the user and the cleaning device. The user can issue cleaning instructions through voice to make the cleaning device start different operating modes. For example, the user can issue instructions such as "start cleaning", "pause cleaning", "return to charging" or switch different cleaning modes, so as to improve the intelligence of the cleaning device and the user experience.

[0031] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the ranging component has a lifting function. When the ranging component rises to extend out of the upper surface of the fuselage, when the user stands on the same side as the ranging component relative to the voice control module, the rising of the ranging component is likely to block the user's voice instructions, resulting in affecting the recognition effect of the voice control module. By setting the ranging component on the side of the dust box away from the voice control module, the above technical problem can be effectively solved, and the possibility of the ranging component affecting the recognition effect of the voice control module when in the rising position can be reduced.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present application, along the forward direction of the fuselage, a voice control module, the ranging component, a dust box, the cleaning component and the water tank assembly are sequentially arranged on the fuselage from front to back.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, the voice control module, the ranging component, the dust box, the cleaning component, and the water tank component are arranged in sequence along the forward direction of the fuselage, which can make the structural layout of the cleaning device along the forward direction of the fuselage more compact, facilitating the improvement of the assembly convenience and the compact design of the overall size of the cleaning device.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device includes at least one cleaning member, and the cleaning member is a tracked mop; or, the cleaning member is a roller mop.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, there is a large contact area between the roller mop and the surface to be cleaned. Therefore, a wider path can be cleaned at one time to more comprehensively cover the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning efficiency is relatively high. Moreover, the contact between the roller mop and the surface to be cleaned is closer, and the pressure applied to the surface to be cleaned is more uniform, which can better remove stubborn stains and deep dirt.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the tracked mop has a large contact area with the surface to be cleaned, which can expand the "linear" cleaning area in the traditional cleaning method into a "cleaning surface", effectively increasing the cleaning coverage and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0037] In a second aspect, a cleaning system provided by the present application includes:

[0038] A base station;

[0039] And the cleaning device according to any of the above embodiments, and the cleaning device can be placed on the base station.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the cleaning device provided by the present application are as follows: on the one hand, without increasing the overall height of the machine, the lifting movement of the ranging component is not easily affected by the lifting movement of the cleaning component, resulting in insufficient lifting space for the ranging component, and the lifting movement of the cleaning component is not easily affected by the lifting movement of the ranging component, resulting in insufficient lifting space for the cleaning component. On the other hand, while ensuring the lifting space of the ranging component and the cleaning component, the overall height dimension of the machine is not easily increased, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility that the increase in the overall size of the machine affects the ability of the cleaning device to enter low-lying areas, thereby affecting the cleaning effect.

[0041] In addition to the technical problems solved by the embodiments of the present invention described above, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought by these technical features of the technical solutions, the other technical problems that the cleaning device and the cleaning system provided by the embodiments of the present invention can solve, the other technical features included in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought by these technical features will be further described in detail in the specific implementation manner.

[0059] Through the above - mentioned accompanying drawings, specific embodiments of the present application have been shown, and there will be more detailed descriptions hereinafter. These accompanying drawings and written descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0060] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0061] A cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application can be a floor sweeper, a floor washer, a vacuum cleaner, etc. Taking the cleaning device as a floor sweeper as an example, the floor sweeper is a device for cleaning the floor. The cleaning function of the floor sweeper is mainly achieved by the high-speed rotation of the motor. The high-speed rotation of the motor can form a vacuum in the machine body to stir up and sweep up dirt such as dust, hair, and debris on the ground and in the ground gaps by using the high-speed airflow, and cooperate with the suction force to suck it into the dust box. The dirt can be accumulated in the dust box to facilitate the user to clean it regularly.

[0062] The cleaning device includes a cleaning component for cleaning the surface to be cleaned. As a key component of the cleaning component, the mop can be used to dry-wipe or wet-mop the surface to be cleaned after sweeping the floor to further improve the cleaning effect.

[0063] The cleaning component has a lifting function and can be driven by a motor to rise or fall in different application environments and different application requirements. For example, when passing through a threshold, a ground gap, or an obstacle, the cleaning component can be lifted to reduce the possibility of wear and jamming of the cleaning component. Or, when cleaning surfaces to be cleaned of different materials, the height of the cleaning component rising or falling can be adjusted to adjust the acting pressure between the cleaning component and the surface to be cleaned to improve the cleaning effect on different surfaces to be cleaned.

[0064] The cleaning device can also include a ranging component. For example, a laser distance sensor (LDS). The ranging component is the core component for the cleaning device to achieve precise positioning and map construction. In the related art, the cleaning component and the ranging component are stacked in the rear area of the fuselage.

[0065] However, when the ranging component has a lifting function, a movement space for the ranging component needs to be reserved on the body. When the cleaning device cleans a spacious environment, the ranging component can rise and extend above the body to perform a 360° scan of the surrounding environment for precise positioning. When the cleaning device enters a low area (such as under the bed or under the sofa), the ranging component can automatically retract into the interior of the body to reduce the overall height of the cleaning device and avoid the possibility of the cleaning device getting stuck or the ranging component being damaged by impact.

[0066] Therefore, both the cleaning component and the ranging component need to reserve space in the height direction of the body to meet their respective lifting requirements. However, the movement spaces of the cleaning component and the ranging component are prone to conflict with each other. When ensuring the movement spaces of the cleaning component and the ranging component, it is easy to cause an increase in the overall height of the cleaning device.

[0067] Based on the above technical problems, the applicant has improved the structure of the existing cleaning device. In the embodiments of the present application, the ranging component is vertically movable along the height direction of the body, and the cleaning component is vertically movable along the height direction of the body. By arranging the ranging component and the cleaning component to be staggered in the height direction of the body, the height space occupied by the lifting of the ranging component and the height space occupied by the lifting of the cleaning component can be non-interfering.

[0068] On the one hand, without increasing the overall height of the machine, the lifting movement of the ranging component is not easily affected by the lifting movement of the cleaning component, resulting in insufficient lifting space for the ranging component. Also, the lifting movement of the cleaning component is not easily affected by the lifting movement of the ranging component, resulting in insufficient lifting space for the cleaning component. On the other hand, while ensuring the lifting space of the ranging component and the lifting space of the cleaning component, the overall height dimension of the machine is not easily increased, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility that the increase in the overall size of the machine affects the ability of the cleaning device to enter low areas, thereby affecting the cleaning effect.

[0069] The cleaning device 100 and the cleaning system provided by the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with specific embodiments.

[0070] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 100 of the embodiments of the present application includes a body 110, a ranging component 120, and a cleaning component 130.

[0071] The ranging component 120 is disposed on a side of the body 110 facing away from the surface to be cleaned. Along the height direction Z of the body 110, the ranging component 120 is vertically movable. The cleaning component 130 is disposed on a side of the body 110 facing the surface to be cleaned. Along the height direction Z of the body 110, the cleaning component 130 is vertically movable. Among them, along the height direction Z of the body 110, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 are staggered.

[0072] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 100 is placed on a horizontal surface to be cleaned, the height direction Z of the body 110 can refer to the vertical direction. The body 110 can have a forward direction Y and a backward direction. In the conventional cleaning mode, the body 110 can move along the forward direction Y. When encountering an obstacle or returning to the base station, the body 110 can move along the backward direction. For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, along the forward direction Y of the body 110, a bumper 210 is usually provided on the front side of the body 110. The bumper 210 can provide physical buffering when the cleaning device 100 contacts an obstacle, so as to reduce the impact force of the collision, thereby protecting the cleaning device 100 from being scratched or damaged.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, along the height direction Z of the body 110, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 are respectively located on both sides of the body 110. The ranging component 120 can be lifted to extend or retract from the body 110, and the cleaning component 130 can be lifted to adjust the cleaning pressure on the surface to be cleaned. By arranging the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 to be staggered along the height direction Z of the body 110, the lifting movement of the ranging component 120 is not likely to occupy the space for the lifting of the cleaning component 130, and the lifting movement of the cleaning component 130 is also not likely to occupy the space for the lifting of the ranging component 120. Therefore, the lifting movement of the ranging component 120 and the lifting movement of the cleaning component 130 can be independent of each other to ensure the effective movement of the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130. And it can also reduce the possibility that the overall height dimension of the cleaning device 100 increases due to ensuring the lifting stroke of the ranging component 120 and the lifting stroke of the cleaning component 130, making it difficult to enter low spaces and affecting the cleaning effect.

[0074] Among them, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 being staggered along the height direction Z of the body 110 means that along the height direction Z of the body 110, there is no overlapping area between the orthographic projection of the ranging component 120 and the orthographic projection of the cleaning component 130.

[0075] In some examples, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 being staggered along the height direction Z of the body 110 can but is not limited to including that, along the forward direction Y of the body 110, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 are arranged side by side. Or, along the width direction X of the body 110, the ranging component 120 and the cleaning component 130 are arranged side by side. It is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0076] In some implementable ways, refer to Figure 1As shown, along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, the dust box 140 of the cleaning device 100 is close to the middle area of the fuselage 110. The cleaning assembly 130 is located in the rear area of the fuselage 110. The ranging assembly 120 is close to the dust box 140.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, since the dust box 140 is close to the middle area of the fuselage 110, by arranging the ranging assembly 120 close to the dust box 140, the ranging assembly 120 can be close to the middle area of the fuselage 110, which is beneficial to improving the recognition accuracy of the ranging assembly 120.

[0078] Specifically, taking the ranging assembly 120 as a lidar sensor as an example, when the ranging assembly 120 is located in the middle area of the fuselage 110, it can enable the lidar to perform 360° unobstructed scanning when rotating in the horizontal direction, ensuring more comprehensive data coverage during map construction and positioning, reducing the detection blind area, and thus reducing the possibility that the ranging distance of one side is limited due to the offset of the ranging assembly 120, affecting the recognition accuracy, which is beneficial to improving the recognition accuracy in complex areas such as corners and furniture edges.

[0079] It should be noted that the ranging assembly 120 being close to the dust box 140 may mean that the ranging assembly 120 is arranged adjacent to the dust box 140. Specifically, it includes that the ranging assembly 120 is in contact with the dust box 140. Or, there is no contact between the ranging assembly 120 and the dust box 140. When there is no contact between the ranging assembly 120 and the dust box 140, there may be a small gap between the ranging assembly 120 and the dust box 140 to make the structure of the ranging assembly 120 and the dust box 140 compact. For example, the gap between the ranging assembly 120 and the dust box 140 can be but is not limited to 4mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc.

[0080] In some examples, along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, the ranging assembly 120 being located on one side of the dust box 140 may mean that along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, the ranging assembly 120 and the cleaning assembly 130 may be located on the same side of the dust box 140, or the ranging assembly 120 and the cleaning assembly 130 may also be located on both sides of the dust box 140 respectively, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0081] In some examples, the driving wheels 190 of the cleaning device 100 may be located in the middle area of the fuselage 110. The number of the driving wheels 190 may be two. The two driving wheels 190 may be arranged side by side and spaced along the width direction X of the fuselage 110. Among them, the width direction X of the fuselage 110 is perpendicular to the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110.

[0082] In some examples, the dust box 140 may be located in the space between the two driving wheels 190.

[0083] In some implementable ways, seeFigure 1 As shown, along the forward direction Y of the body 110 , the distance measuring component 120 is located on the side of the dust box 140 away from the cleaning component 130 .

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, along the forward direction Y of the body 110, the dust box 140 is close to the middle area of the body 110, and the cleaning assembly 130 is located in the rear area of the body 110. Therefore, when the distance measuring assembly 120 is located on the side of the dust box 140 away from the cleaning assembly 130, the distance measuring assembly 120 can be located in the front area of the body 110. When the distance measuring assembly 120 is located in the front side of the dust box 140, since the cleaning assembly 130 is located in the rear area of the body 110, the lifting and lowering movements of the distance measuring assembly 120 and the cleaning assembly 130 may not be easily interfered with each other.

[0085] In some possible implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 100 of the embodiment of the present application may further include a water tank assembly 150. Along the height direction Z of the body 110, the distance measuring assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 are staggered.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the water tank assembly 150 has a water storage function. The water tank assembly 150 can provide clean water to the cleaning assembly 130 to wet the cleaning assembly 130, thereby achieving wet cleaning of the surface to be cleaned. By setting the distance measuring assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 to be staggered along the height direction Z of the fuselage 110, the lifting and lowering movement of the distance measuring assembly 120 and the height of the water tank assembly 150 can be less likely to affect each other, which is conducive to reducing the possibility that the lifting and lowering movement of the distance measuring assembly 120 will limit the height of the water tank assembly 150, thereby affecting the cleaning effect, and it is also conducive to reducing the possibility that the height of the water tank assembly 150 will affect the lifting space of the distance measuring assembly 120.

[0087] The staggered arrangement of the distance measuring component 120 and the water tank component 150 along the height direction Z of the fuselage 110 may mean that along the height direction Z of the fuselage 110 , the orthographic projection of the distance measuring component 120 and the orthographic projection of the water tank component 150 have no overlapping area.

[0088] In some examples, the distance measuring assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 may be arranged side by side along the forward direction Y, the width direction X, etc. of the fuselage 110 , but is not limited to being arranged side by side.

[0089] In some examples, the water tank assembly 150 may include a clean water tank and a sewage tank. The clean water tank and the sewage tank can be used to achieve the live water cleaning of the surface to be cleaned. Specifically, the clean water tank can provide clean water for the cleaning assembly 130 to clean the surface to be cleaned. After cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the sewage on the cleaning assembly 130 can enter the sewage tank. Moreover, the clean water tank can provide clean water for the cleaning assembly 130 again, thereby reducing the excessive accumulation of dirt on the cleaning assembly 130, which may cause secondary pollution of the surface to be cleaned and the possibility that the surface to be cleaned becomes dirtier and dirtier when being mopped.

[0090] Among them, the clean water tank and the sewage tank can be of an integrated structure or a split structure. In the embodiments of the present application, the structure of the water tank assembly 150 is not limited.

[0091] In some realizable ways, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the water tank assembly 150 of the embodiments of the present application is located in the rear side area of the fuselage 110. Along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, the ranging assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning assembly 130.

[0092] It should be noted that when the height of the water tank assembly 150 is affected by the ranging assembly 120 or the cleaning assembly 130, the height of the water tank assembly 150 decreases, and the height of the sewage tank decreases. At this time, the sewage in the sewage tank is easily discharged under the action of the suction pump, and the sewage circulates, resulting in the pollution of the surface to be cleaned and the phenomenon that it becomes dirtier and dirtier when being mopped.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, by setting the ranging assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 on both sides of the cleaning assembly 130 respectively, the ranging assembly 120, the water tank assembly 150 and the cleaning assembly 130 are not likely to affect each other in the height direction Z of the fuselage 110.

[0094] Specifically, the ranging assembly 120 and the water tank assembly 150 are staggeredly arranged in the height direction Z of the fuselage 110. Therefore, the lifting movement of the ranging assembly 120 and the height of the water tank assembly 150 are not likely to affect each other. Moreover, the ranging assembly 120 and the cleaning assembly 130 can be staggeredly arranged in the height direction Z of the fuselage 110 so that the lifting movement of the ranging assembly 120 and the lifting movement of the cleaning assembly 130 are not likely to affect each other. In addition, the cleaning assembly 130 and the water tank assembly 150 are also staggeredly arranged in the height direction Z of the fuselage 110. Therefore, the lifting movement of the cleaning assembly 130 and the height of the water tank assembly 150 are not likely to affect each other.

[0095] In some examples, the water tank assembly 150 can be close to the cleaning assembly 130 to facilitate the water tank assembly 150 to supply water to the cleaning assembly 130, and also facilitate the dirt on the cleaning assembly 130 to enter the water tank assembly 150.

[0096] In some examples, along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, when the dust box 140 is located in the middle area of the fuselage 110, both the cleaning assembly 130 and the water tank can be located in the rear area of the fuselage 110. The ranging assembly 120 can be located on one side of the dust box 140 close to the water tank assembly 150, or the ranging assembly 120 can also be located on the side of the dust box 140 facing away from the water tank assembly 150.

[0097] In some implementable ways, the water tank assembly 150 of the embodiment of the present application is detachably connected to the fuselage 110.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, since structures such as the ranging assembly 120, the cleaning assembly 130, and the dust box 140 are not likely to affect the height of the water tank assembly 150, the capacity of the water tank assembly 150 can be set relatively large to meet the water supply demand for the cleaning assembly 130 and the accommodation demand for the sewage on the cleaning assembly 130, thereby improving the cleaning effect of cleaning the surface to be cleaned with running water.

[0099] When the water tank assembly 150 includes a sewage tank, the sewage tank is prone to generate odors and breed bacteria if not cleaned for a long time. Since the capacity of the water tank assembly 150 of the embodiment of the present application is large, it is relatively easy to make the water tank assembly 150 detachable. Therefore, by setting the water tank assembly 150 to be detachably connected to the fuselage 110, it is convenient for the user to maintain and clean the water tank assembly 150.

[0100] In some implementable ways, as shown in Figure 1 the cleaning assembly 130 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a voice control module 160. The voice control module 160 and the ranging assembly 120 are of a split structure.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the voice control module 160 and the ranging assembly 120 to be of a split structure, compared with the ranging assembly 120 being arranged above the voice control module 160, it can make the ranging assembly 120 less likely to occupy the space above the voice control module 160, so as to optimize the height dimension of the whole cleaning device 100 without affecting the lifting function of the ranging assembly 120, thereby improving the ability of the cleaning device 100 to enter low spaces.

[0102] In some examples, the voice control module 160 and the ranging assembly 120 can be, but are not limited to, arranged side by side along the forward direction Y and the width direction X of the fuselage 110, and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0103] In some examples, the cleaning device 100 may further include a power-on button 171 and a power-off button 172. The power-on button 171 can be used to start the operation of the cleaning device 100. The power-off button 172 can be used to pause the operation of the cleaning device 100.

[0104] Exemplarily, the power-on button 171, the power-off button 172 and the voice control module 160 can be integrated into an integrated structure.

[0105] In some examples, the power-on button 171, the power-off button 172 and the voice control module 160 can be arranged side by side along the width direction X of the body 110. For example, the voice control module 160 can be located between the power-on button 171 and the power-off button 172, so that the power-on button 171 and the power-off button 172 can be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the voice control module 160, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics of the cleaning device 100.

[0106] In some realizable ways, the cleaning device 100 further includes a voice control module 160. The voice control module 160 is arranged in the front area of the body 110. The ranging component 120 is located on the side of the dust box 140 of the cleaning device 100 away from the voice control module 160.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the voice control module 160 can be used to realize convenient interaction between the user and the cleaning device 100. The user can issue cleaning instructions by voice to enable the cleaning device 100 to start different operation modes. For example, the user can issue instructions such as "start cleaning", "pause cleaning", "return to charging" or switch different cleaning modes, etc., to improve the intelligence of the cleaning device 100 and improve the user experience.

[0108] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the ranging component 120 has a lifting function. When the ranging component 120 rises to extend out of the upper surface of the body 110, when the user stands on the same side of the ranging component 120 relative to the voice control module 160, the rising of the ranging component 120 is likely to block the user's voice instructions, resulting in affecting the recognition effect of the voice control module 160. By arranging the ranging component 120 on the side of the dust box 140 away from the voice control module 160, the above technical problems can be effectively solved, and the possibility of the ranging component 120 in the rising position affecting the recognition effect of the voice control module 160 can be reduced.

[0109] In some other examples, along the forward direction Y of the body 110, when the ranging component 120 is located on the side of the dust box 140 away from the cleaning component 130, the ranging component 120 is located on the side of the dust box 140 close to the voice control module 160.

[0110] Among them, along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, the voice control module 160 can be located on the front side of the ranging component 120. Alternatively, the voice control module 160 can also be located on the rear side of the ranging component 120, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, both the ranging component 120 and the voice control module 160 are connected to the main board of the cleaning device 100. By setting the ranging component 120 between the dust box 140 and the voice control module 160, the ranging component 120 can be located in the front side area of the fuselage 110. The ranging component 120 can be close to structures such as the voice control module 160, the power-on button 171, and the power-off button 172, so as to facilitate the connection of structures such as the ranging component 120, the voice control module 160, the power-on button 171, and the power-off button 172 to the main board, which is beneficial to simplifying the circuit layout.

[0112] In some examples, the distance between the ranging component 120 and the dust box 140 can be less than or equal to the distance between the ranging component 120 and the voice control module 160.

[0113] Among them, the dust box 140 can be located in the middle area of the fuselage 110. Therefore, by setting the ranging component 120 close to the dust box 140, the ranging component 120 can be closer to the middle area of the fuselage 110, which is beneficial to reducing the detection blind area and improving the recognition accuracy of the ranging component 120.

[0114] It should be noted that when the ranging component 120 is located between the dust box 140 and the voice control module 160, the dust box 140 can be located in the middle area of the fuselage 110 and close to the rear side area of the fuselage 110. Therefore, along the width direction X of the fuselage 110, the dust collection air duct 180 located on one side of the dust box 140 can also be close to the rear side area of the fuselage 110, so as to facilitate docking with the dust collection port of the base station, which is beneficial to reducing the path of the dust collection air duct 180 and simplifying the structure of the dust collection air duct 180.

[0115] In some realizable ways, as shown in Figure 1 Along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, a voice control module 160, a ranging component 120, a dust box 140, a cleaning component 130, and a water tank component 150 are sequentially arranged on the fuselage 110 from front to back.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the voice control module 160, the ranging component 120, the dust box 140, the cleaning component 130, and the water tank component 150 are sequentially arranged along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110, which can make the structural layout of the cleaning device 100 along the forward direction Y of the fuselage 110 more compact, beneficial to improving the assembly convenience and the compact design of the overall size of the cleaning device 100.

[0117] In some examples, along the width direction X of the body 110, the voice control module 160, the ranging component 120, the dust box 140, the cleaning component 130, and the water tank component 150 can be located in the middle area of the body 110, so that the appearance of the cleaning device 100 is more concise and beautiful.

[0118] In some implementable ways, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 100 includes at least one cleaning part 131. The cleaning part 131 is a tracked mop. Alternatively, the cleaning part 131 is a roller mop.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present application, the roller mop has a large contact area with the surface to be cleaned. Therefore, a wider path can be cleaned at one time to more comprehensively cover the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning efficiency is relatively high. Moreover, the contact between the roller mop and the surface to be cleaned is closer, and the pressure applied to the surface to be cleaned is also more uniform, which can better remove stubborn stains and deep dirt.

[0120] In some examples, the axial direction of the roller mop is the same as the width direction X of the body 110.

[0121] In the embodiments of the present application, the tracked mop has a large contact area with the surface to be cleaned, and can expand the "linear" cleaning area in the traditional cleaning method into a "cleaning surface", so as to more effectively increase the cleaning coverage and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0122] In some examples, the cleaning component 130 may further include a lifting mechanism 132. The lifting mechanism 132 is connected to the cleaning part 131. The lifting mechanism 132 can at least be used to move the cleaning part 131 up or down along the height direction Z of the body 110.

[0123] In some examples, along the height direction Z of the body 110, the lifting mechanism 132 corresponds to at least a part of the cleaning part 131. Along the forward direction Y of the body 110, the lifting mechanism 132 can be located between the dust box 140 and the water tank component 150.

[0124] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 100 may further include a rotary brush 200. The rotary brush 200 can be used to roll up dust, debris, hair and other dirt on the surface to be cleaned, and make the dirt enter the dust box 140. The rotary brush 200 is arranged on one side of the body 110 facing the surface to be cleaned.

[0125] In some examples, along the height direction Z of the body 110, the rotary brush 200 can be located below the ranging component 120.

[0126] Embodiments of the present application provide a cleaning system, which may include a base station and the cleaning device 100 in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning device 100 may be placed on the base station.

[0127] The base station may have a charging function. When the cleaning device 100 is placed on the base station, the base station can charge the cleaning device 100.

[0128] The base station may also have a cleaning function. When the cleaning device 100 is placed on the base station, the dust collection duct 180 of the cleaning device 100 can be docked with the dust collection port on the base station, and the dust in the dust box 140 of the cleaning device 100 can enter the base station to complete the cleaning of the cleaning device 100. Moreover, the base station can also clean the roller brush 200, the cleaning assembly 130, etc. on the cleaning device 100 to achieve self-cleaning of the cleaning device 100, and the cleaning device 100 can continue to perform cleaning work.
