[0059] See also Figures 1 to 7 The intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a machine body 100 and a cleaning component 200, wherein the machine body 100 is used to carry various functional components of the intelligent cleaning device, and the cleaning component 200 is detachably arranged on the machine body 100. When the cleaning component 200 is installed in or removed from the machine body 100, the cleaning component 200 can move in the forward or backward direction of the machine body 100. In some optional embodiments, the cleaning component 200 includes a stacked liquid storage box, a connecting plate and a flexible cleaning body, and the connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the liquid storage box through a guide structure. When the connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the liquid storage box, the connecting plate can float up and down relative to the liquid storage box. In some optional embodiments, the intelligent cleaning device is an intelligent cleaning robot 1, the connecting plate is a support plate 20, the flexible cleaning body is a cleaning cloth 21, and the liquid storage box is a water tank 22.

[0060] In some optional embodiments of the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the guide structure includes a guide protrusion 201 and a guide groove 221 that cooperate with each other, the guide protrusion 201 is arranged on the support plate 20, and the guide groove 221 is arranged on the water tank 22; wherein, the thickness of the guide protrusion 201 is less than the groove thickness of the guide groove 221, so that after the support plate 20 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 22, the support plate 20 can float up and down relative to the water tank 22. Optionally, the thickness of the guide protrusion 201 specifically refers to the thickness of the guide protrusion 201 in the height direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, and the groove thickness of the guide groove 221 refers to the thickness of the guide groove 221 in the height direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1.

[0061] It is understandable that the guide structure is not limited to the above-mentioned structural form, and the specific structure of the guide structure can also be set as follows: the guide structure includes a guide protrusion 201 and a guide groove 221 that cooperate with each other, the guide protrusion 201 is arranged on the water tank 22, and the guide groove 221 is arranged on the support plate 20; wherein, the thickness of the guide protrusion 201 is less than the groove thickness of the guide groove 221, so that after the support plate 20 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 22, the support plate 20 can float up and down relative to the water tank 22. The thickness of the guide protrusion 201 specifically refers to the thickness of the guide protrusion 201 in the height direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, and the groove thickness of the guide groove 221 can also refer to the thickness of the guide groove 221 in the height direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1. The structural design of the guide structure only needs to meet the installation requirements of the water tank 22 and the support plate 20, and can ensure that the support plate 20 can move along the forward or backward direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1. Optionally, the design of the guide structure also needs to satisfy the requirement that after the support plate 20 is installed on the water tank 22 , the support plate 20 can float up and down relative to the water tank 22 .

[0062] In the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning component 200 as a whole can be removed from the machine body 100 of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 along the forward or backward direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, and the support plate 20 can also be removed from the main body of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 along the forward or backward direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 separately, which is easy to operate.

[0063] Please read further Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, further, after the support plate 20 is installed on the water tank 22, it is connected to the water tank 22 through a connecting structure, and the connecting structure includes a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure provided on the support plate 20 that cooperate with each other and are respectively provided on the water tank 22. In some optional embodiments, the first connecting structure is a first hook 222 provided on the water tank 22, and the second connecting structure is a second hook 202 provided on the support plate 20. After the support plate 20 is installed on the bottom of the water tank 22 through the guide structure, the first hook 222 and the second hook 202 can be engaged with each other, so that the support plate 20 and the water tank 22 are firmly connected.

[0064] Please read further Figures 8 to 12Optionally, the connection structure further includes a control structure 23, which is disposed on the support plate 20, and the control structure 23 can control the connection and separation of the first hook 222 and the second hook 202. In some optional embodiments, the control structure 23 and the second hook 202 are an integrated structure, and the control structure 23 includes: a mounting frame 231, the mounting frame 231 is movably disposed on the support plate 20, and the second hook 202 is connected to one end of the mounting frame 231, so that the second hook 202 can be moved to a stop position or an avoidance position under the drive of the mounting frame 231; an operating member 232, the operating member 232 is disposed at the other end of the mounting frame 231, and is disposed opposite to the second hook 202, so that the movement of the mounting frame 231 can be controlled by the operating member 232. The specific operation process is as follows: when the operating member 232 is pressed toward the direction of the inside of the main body of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, the entire control structure 23 moves toward the direction of the inside of the main body of the intelligent cleaning robot 1. At this time, the second hook 202 is driven by the control structure 23 to move toward the direction of the inside of the main body of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 to the avoidance position, so that the first hook 222 and the second hook 202 are separated. After the first hook 222 and the second hook 202 are separated, the support plate 20 can be further removed from the water tank 22 along the guide structure, which is convenient for operation. After replacing the cleaning cloth 21, after the support plate 20 is reinstalled to the bottom of the water tank 22, the second hook 202 is in the stop position under the restriction of the guide protrusion 201, so that the first hook 222 and the second hook 202 are connected to each other, and the water tank 22 and the support plate 20 are further firmly connected.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the guide protrusion 201 is arranged on the support plate 20, and the guide protrusion 201 is an elastic structure. When the second hook 202 moves to the avoidance position, the guide protrusion 201 can be elastically deformed under the extrusion of the second hook 202 to separate the first hook 222 from the second hook 202. When the second hook 202 moves to the stop position, the guide protrusion 201 can be restored to its original state to connect the first hook 222 with the second hook 202.

[0066] It can be understood that the control structure 23 can be but not limited to the above-mentioned structural form. The control structure 23 can also be set on the water tank 22, and optionally, the control structure 23 can be an integrated structure with the first hook 222, which can control the connection and separation of the first hook 222 and the second hook 202.

[0067] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.12In the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the support plate 20 and the cleaning cloth 21 are detachably connected through a sliding assembly, and the sliding assembly includes a mounting groove 203 and a guide bar 211 that cooperate with each other. In some optional embodiments, the mounting groove 203 is set on the support plate 20, and the guide bar 211 is set on the cleaning cloth 21. The guide bar 211 can be inserted into the mounting groove 203 to connect the cleaning cloth 21 with the support plate 20, and the guide bar 211 can be inserted from the mounting groove 203 to separate the cleaning cloth 21 from the support plate 20, so that the cleaning cloth 21 needs to be disassembled. 1, the cleaning cloth 21 can be directly removed from the support plate 20 for replacement or cleaning, which is convenient for operation. At the same time, it can also solve the technical problem that when the existing intelligent cleaning robot 1 replaces the cleaning cloth 21, the intelligent cleaning robot 1 needs to be turned over and the water tank 22 or the support plate 20 needs to be removed together, which may easily cause collision and damage to the intelligent cleaning robot 1, and may also easily damage the sensors on the intelligent cleaning robot 1, and may even easily cause damage to the internal circuits and components of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, resulting in irreparable problems and further causing greater economic losses. The support plate 20 is detachably connected to the water tank 22. When the support plate 20 is loaded into or removed from the machine body 100, the support plate 20 moves in the forward or backward direction of the machine body 100, and the cleaning cloth 21 is removed from the water tank 22 of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 together with the support plate 20. Since the support plate 20 of the cleaning component 200 moves in the forward or backward direction of the machine body 100 when it is assembled to the water tank 22 or removed from the water tank 22, and the forward and backward directions of the machine body 100 are usually horizontal, the loading and removal of the support plate 20 with the cleaning cloth 21 is more convenient, which further solves the technical problem in the prior art that the intelligent cleaning robot 1 needs to be turned over to the bottom surface facing up before the cleaning component 200 can be removed, so that the replacement and maintenance of the cleaning component 200 are more convenient. It can be understood that the intelligent cleaning device can be but not limited to the intelligent cleaning robot 1. In some other optional embodiments, the intelligent cleaning device can also be a solar panel cleaning device or a building exterior wall cleaning device.

[0068] It is understandable that the cleaning component 200 may be not limited to the above-mentioned structural form. In some other optional embodiments, the mounting groove 203 may also be provided on the cleaning cloth 21, and the guide strip 211 may also be provided on the support plate 20, as long as the installation and disassembly of the support plate 20 and the cleaning cloth 21 can be conveniently realized.

[0069] For example, in Figure 1 and Fig.12In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting groove 203 is disposed at one end of the side of the support plate 20 away from the machine body 100, and the guide strip 211 is disposed at a position on the cleaning cloth 21 corresponding to the mounting groove 203, that is, at the end of the cleaning cloth 21. However, it is understandable that in some other optional embodiments, the mounting groove 203 may also be disposed at the middle position of the side of the support plate 20 away from the machine body 100, and accordingly, the position of the guide strip 211 on the cleaning cloth 21 corresponds to the mounting groove 203, and is also disposed at the middle position of the cleaning cloth 21.

[0070] In the intelligent cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, one end of the mounting groove 203 on the support plate 20 is a mounting end, and the other end is a stop end. The guide bar 211 can pass through the mounting end to or pass through the mounting groove 203, and the stop end can limit the guide bar 211 from passing through the mounting groove 203 from the stop end.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the guide bar 211 can be a plastic rod or a steel rod with a certain rigidity, or a flexible strip. The cross-sectional shape of the guide bar 211 can be circular or other non-circular shapes. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting groove 203 on the support plate 20 is C-shaped or a shape similar to C-shaped, as long as it can accommodate and limit the guide bar 211. The opening of the mounting groove 203 for the cleaning cloth 21 to extend out is downward, that is, the C-shaped opening is downward, one end of the mounting groove 203 is an insertion end, and the insertion end does not have a stop structure for the guide bar 211 to extend in, and the other end is a stop end, and the stop end has a stop structure to prevent the guide bar 211 from coming out of this end. In other words, one end of the mounting groove 203 is closed and the other end is open. The tail of the cleaning cloth 21 is fixed to the support plate 20 by the way that the guide bar 211 cooperates with the mounting groove 203, which improves the stability of the fixation and prevents the cleaning cloth 21 from falling off. The guide bar 211 and the mounting groove 203 are located on the supporting plate 20 in the direction toward the front of the intelligent cleaning robot 1. By first installing the guide bar 211 and then sticking the cleaning cloth 21 on the Velcro, it is ensured that the cleaning cloth 21 is correctly installed.

[0072] Please read further Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning cloth 21 can be a cleaning cloth 21 made of the same material as a whole, or a composite cleaning cloth 21 with different materials at different positions. In some optional embodiments, the cleaning cloth 21 is a composite cleaning cloth 21, the main body of which is substantially semicircular, the inner layer of which is a water seepage area, and a material with a high water seepage rate is selected; the middle layer is a decontamination area, and a relatively hard material is used to scrape off the hard substances on the ground; the outer layer is a water absorption area, which is used to absorb moisture from the bottom surface and remove water stains and marks, and a material with a good water absorption effect is used. This can improve the cleaning efficiency. The guide strip 211 is set on the straight line segment of the semicircle.

[0073] Please read further Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a water hole 206 is provided on the support plate 20 for connecting the water in the water tank 22 to the cleaning cloth 21. In some optional embodiments, the water tank 22 may be an electrically controlled water tank 22 provided with a peristaltic pump, and a waterway plate is provided inside the intelligent cleaning robot 1. Optionally, the waterway plate is a same-way waterway plate 25, which is provided between the machine body 100 and the support plate 20, and is detachably connected to the machine body 100. A water inlet and a water outlet 251 are provided on the same-way waterway plate 25, and the water inlet is connected to the water outlet pipe of the peristaltic pump inside the water tank 22. The position of the water outlet 251 corresponds to the position of the water hole 206 on the support plate 20, so that the water in the water tank 22 flows to the cleaning cloth 21 through the water outlet 251 of the same-way waterway plate 25 and the water hole 206 on the support plate 20.

[0074] Please read further Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the docking position of the water tank 22 and the machine body 100 is set correspondingly. After the water tank 22 is installed on the machine body 100, the outer wall of the water tank 22 is connected to the side wall of the machine body 100, the bottom wall of the water tank 22 is connected to the bottom wall of the machine body 100, and the water tank 22 at least partially surrounds the outer side of the fan in the machine body 100. Figure 2 As shown, the fan is arranged inside the fan installation position 16. In some optional embodiments, the water tank 22 can be connected to and separated from the machine body 100 by a button 24. A notch 204 for avoiding the button 24 is provided on the support plate 20. Specifically, the notch 204 is a notch 204 arranged on the top of the support plate 20 and matching the shape of the button 24. When the cleaning component 200 needs to be removed from the machine body 100, the cleaning component 200 can be separated from the machine body 100 by pressing and holding the button 24.

[0075] Please read further Figure 6 In some optional embodiments of the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, an elastic member 205 is provided on the surface of the side of the support plate 20 facing the water tank 22. When the support plate 20 is installed on the water tank 22, the support plate 20 and the water tank 22 are in elastic contact, which can make the water tank 22 float up and down more smoothly, and the elastic member 205 on the support plate 20 contacts the bottom surface of the water tank 22, so that when working, a pressing force is generated between the support plate 20 and the ground, which can further make the cleaning cloth 21 fit the ground more closely, and achieve a better cleaning effect. Optionally, the elastic member 205 includes a plurality of elastic buttons arranged at intervals on the surface of the side of the baffle facing the water tank 22, and springs are arranged inside the elastic buttons.

[0076] It is understandable that the elastic member 205 can be but not limited to the above structure, and the elastic member 205 can also be arranged on the side surface of the water tank 22 facing the support plate 20, and the elastic member 205 includes a plurality of elastic buttons arranged at intervals on the side surface of the water tank 22 facing the support plate 20. Of course, the elastic member 205 can also be arranged on the side surface of the water tank 22 facing the support plate 20 and the side surface of the support plate 20 facing the water tank 22 at the same time, so that the support plate 20 and the water tank 22 are in elastic contact after the support plate 20 is installed on the water tank 22. When the elastic member 205 is arranged on the side surface of the water tank 22 facing the support plate 20 and the side surface of the support plate 20 facing the water tank 22 at the same time, it is more preferred that the elastic member 205 arranged on the side surface of the water tank 22 facing the support plate 20 and the elastic member 205 arranged on the side surface of the support plate 20 facing the water tank 22 are staggered, so as to further achieve a better elastic contact effect between the water tank 22 and the support plate 20.

[0077] Please read further Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some optional embodiments of the intelligent cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the machine body 100 includes a sensing system (not shown in the figure), a control system (not shown in the figure), a driving system 10, an energy system, a human-machine interaction system and a dry cleaning unit 13. The main parts of the intelligent cleaning device will be described below.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, the machine body 100 further includes an upper cover, a forward portion, a rearward portion, a chassis, etc. The machine body 100 has an approximately circular shape, and may also be other shapes, including but not limited to an approximately D-shaped shape with a front and a rear circle.

[0079] The sensing system includes a position determination device located above the machine body 100, a buffer located at the front part of the machine body 100, a cliff sensor and ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, odometers and other sensing devices. These sensing devices provide the control system with various position information and motion state information of the machine. The position determination device includes but is not limited to an infrared transmitting and receiving device, a camera, and a laser distance measuring device (LDS).

[0080] The drive system 10 is used to drive the machine body 100 and the components thereon to move for automatic walking and cleaning. The drive system 10 includes a drive wheel module 101, and the drive system 10 can issue a drive command based on distance and angle information, such as x, y and θ components, to manipulate the intelligent cleaning robot 1 to travel across the ground. The drive wheel module 101 can control the left and right wheels at the same time. In order to more accurately control the movement of the machine, the drive wheel module 101 preferably includes a left drive wheel module and a right drive wheel module respectively. The left and right drive wheel modules are oppositely arranged along the transverse axis defined by the machine body 100. Optionally, the left and right drive wheel modules are symmetrically arranged. In order for the intelligent cleaning robot 1 to be able to move more stably on the ground or have stronger movement ability, the intelligent cleaning robot 1 may include one or more driven wheels 102, and the driven wheels include but are not limited to universal wheels.

[0081] The driving wheel module 101 includes a walking wheel and a driving motor and a control circuit for controlling the driving motor. The driving wheel module 101 can also be connected to a circuit for measuring the driving current and an odometer. The driving wheel module 101 can be detachably connected to the machine body 100 for easy disassembly and maintenance. The driving wheel may have a biased drop suspension system, which is fastened in a removable manner, such as rotatably attached, to the machine body 100, and receives a spring bias that is biased downward and away from the machine body 100. The spring bias allows the driving wheel to maintain contact and traction with the ground with a certain ground force, while the cleaning elements of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 (such as the roller brush 131, etc.) also contact the ground with a certain pressure.

[0082] The forward part 14 of the machine body 100 can carry a buffer. During the cleaning process, when the driving wheel module 101 propels the intelligent cleaning robot 1 to walk on the ground, the buffer detects one or more events in the driving path of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 via a sensor system, such as an infrared sensor. The intelligent cleaning robot 1 can control the driving wheel module 101 through the events detected by the buffer, such as obstacles and walls, so that the intelligent cleaning robot 1 responds to the events, such as staying away from the obstacles.

[0083] The control system is arranged on the circuit board in the machine body 100, including a computing processor, such as a central processing unit, an application processor, which communicates with a non-temporary memory, such as a hard disk, a flash memory, and a random access memory. The application processor uses a positioning algorithm, such as SLAM, to draw a real-time map of the environment in which the intelligent cleaning robot 1 is located according to the obstacle information fed back by the laser ranging device. And the distance information and speed information fed back by the buffer, the cliff sensor 11 and the ultrasonic sensor, the infrared sensor, the magnetometer, the accelerometer, the gyroscope, the odometer and other sensor devices are combined to comprehensively judge what working state the sweeper is currently in, such as passing the threshold, getting on the carpet, being on the cliff, being stuck above or below, the dust box is full, being picked up, etc., and specific next action strategies are given for different situations, so that the work of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 is more in line with the owner's requirements and has a better user experience. Further, the control system can plan the most efficient and reasonable cleaning path and cleaning method based on the real-time map information drawn by SLAM, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the intelligent cleaning robot 1.

[0084] The energy system includes rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries. The rechargeable battery can be connected to a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit and a battery undervoltage monitoring circuit, which are then connected to a single-chip microcomputer control circuit. The host is charged by connecting to a charging pile through charging electrodes arranged on the side or below the body. If dust is attached to the exposed charging electrode, the plastic body around the electrode will melt and deform due to the cumulative effect of charge during the charging process, and even the electrode itself will deform, making it impossible to continue charging normally.

[0085] The human-machine interaction system 12 includes buttons on the host panel for users to select functions; it may also include a display screen and / or indicator lights and / or speakers, which display the current state of the machine or function selection items to the user; it may also include a mobile client program. For path navigation type cleaning equipment, the mobile client can show the user a map of the environment where the equipment is located, as well as the location of the machine, and can provide users with more abundant and humanized function items.

[0086] Please read further Figure 3In order to more clearly describe the behavior of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, the following directions are defined: the intelligent cleaning robot 1 can move on the ground by various combinations of movements relative to the following three mutually perpendicular axes defined by the machine body 100: the front-to-back axis X (i.e., the axis along the forward part 14 and the rearward part 15 of the machine body 100), the transverse axis Y (i.e., the axis perpendicular to the axis X and in the same horizontal plane as the axis X), and the central vertical axis Z (the axis perpendicular to the plane formed by the axis X and the axis Y). The forward driving direction along the front-to-back axis X is marked as "forward", and the backward driving direction along the front-to-back axis X is marked as "backward". The transverse axis Y essentially extends between the right wheel and the left wheel of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 along the axis defined by the center point of the drive wheel module 101.

[0087] The intelligent cleaning robot 1 can rotate around the Y axis. When the forward part of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 tilts upward and the backward part tilts downward, it is "upward tilt", and when the forward part of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 tilts downward and the backward part tilts upward, it is "downward tilt". In addition, the intelligent cleaning robot 1 can rotate around the Z axis. In the forward direction of the intelligent cleaning robot 1, when the intelligent cleaning robot 1 tilts to the right side of the X axis, it is "right turn", and when the intelligent cleaning robot 1 tilts to the left side of the X axis, it is "left turn".

[0088] The dust box is installed in the accommodating cavity in a mechanical gripping manner. When the gripping hand is gripped, the clamping piece contracts. When the gripping hand is released, the clamping piece extends out and is clamped in a groove for accommodating the clamping piece in the accommodating cavity.

[0089] The above-mentioned cleaning component 200 is used as the wet cleaning part of the intelligent cleaning robot 1. Its main function is to wipe the cleaned surface (such as the ground) with a cleaning cloth 21 containing cleaning liquid. The main function of the dry cleaning part 13 is to clean the fixed particle pollutants on the cleaned surface through structures such as cleaning brushes. The main cleaning function of the dry cleaning part 13 comes from the second cleaning part composed of the roller brush 131, the dust box, the fan, the air outlet and the connecting parts between the four. The roller brush 131, which has a certain interference with the ground, sweeps up the garbage on the ground and rolls it to the front of the dust suction port between the roller brush 131 and the dust box, and then the suction gas generated by the fan and passing through the dust box is sucked into the dust box. The dust removal ability of the intelligent cleaning robot 1 can be characterized by the garbage cleaning efficiency DPU (Dust pick up efficiency). The cleaning efficiency DPU is affected by the structure and material of the roller brush 131, the wind utilization rate of the air duct composed of the dust suction port, the dust box, the fan, the air outlet and the connecting parts between the four, and the type and power of the fan. Compared with ordinary plug-in vacuum cleaners, the improvement in dust removal ability is more meaningful for the intelligent cleaning robot 1 with limited energy. Because the improvement in dust removal ability directly and effectively reduces the energy requirements, that is to say, the intelligent cleaning robot 1 that can clean 80 square meters of the ground with one charge can evolve to clean 100 square meters or even more with one charge. And the service life of the battery with reduced charging times will also be greatly increased, so that the frequency of user battery replacement will also increase. More intuitively and importantly, the improvement in dust removal ability is the most obvious and important user experience, and the user will directly draw a conclusion on whether the sweep / wipe is clean. The dry cleaning component 200 may also include a side brush 132 with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is at a certain angle relative to the ground to move debris into the cleaning area of ​​the roller brush 131 of the second cleaning unit.

[0090] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a cleaning component 200 , which may be the cleaning component 200 mentioned above.
