Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of floor-sweeping robots, and particularly to a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of technology, it has gradually affected people's lives. In recent decades, robots have attracted much attention. Among them, cleaning robots have been widely used in many fields such as industrial production, life services, and environmental detection. Existing cleaning robots generally have a dust box. When the dust box is full of garbage, the user needs to manually remove the dust box from the cleaning robot and pour out the garbage. This method is relatively common, but it increases the labor burden of the user and is not conducive to the user experience. The latest garbage discharge method of the cleaning robot of iRobot in the United States is to design a garbage emptying station that cooperates with the cleaning robot. The emptying station is provided with a fan device that can suck garbage. This method avoids the user manually removing the dust box to pour out the garbage. Moreover, the bottom of the iRobot floor sweeper is provided with a plastic part to seal the garbage outlet. The opening of the garbage outlet depends on the strong suction of the emptying station to suck open the plastic part, which has high requirements for the suction of the fan. This will undoubtedly increase the manufacturing cost of the fan of the emptying station. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing cleaning robots. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning robot 100 and a processing station 700. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the cleaning robot 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning robot 100 includes a machine body 110, a garbage discharge port 140 provided at the bottom of the machine body 110, and a sealing mechanism 130. The sealing mechanism 130 is used to close the garbage discharge port 140. The sealing mechanism 130 is provided near the garbage discharge port 140 and is movably connected to the bottom of the cleaning robot 100. In this application, the controller detects the information on the processing station 700 in real time and timely uses the suction force generated by the electromagnet 711 to open the sealing mechanism 130 of the cleaning robot 100, thereby opening the garbage discharge port 140 to achieve intelligent garbage discharge. It does not require the suction device 750 of the processing station 700 to provide a strong suction force, reduces the suction force requirement for the maintenance station, and further reduces the manufacturing cost of the processing station 700, realizes the intelligent discharge of garbage by the cleaning robot 100, and improves the user experience.

[0038] The processing station 700 includes a controller and an electromagnet 711. The controller is configured to detect induction information on the processing station 700 and control the electromagnet 711 to generate a magnetic force to attract the sealing mechanism 130 according to the induction information. When the garbage discharge port 140 of the cleaning robot 100 is in contact with the garbage receiving port 710 of the processing station 700, the sealing mechanism 130 is made of metallic iron. When the garbage discharge port 140 is close enough to the garbage receiving port 710, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 711 causes the sealing mechanism 130 to deflect downward, and the sealing mechanism 130 opens the garbage discharge port 140. Further, please refer to Figure 2 , the processing station 700 includes a base, a suction pipe 740, and a garbage recycling device 760. The base is provided with a garbage receiving port 710, and the suction pipe 740 communicates the garbage receiving port 710 and the garbage recycling device 760. An extending structure extending towards the edge is provided near the garbage receiving port 710. When the garbage receiving port 710 of the processing station 700 is docked with the garbage discharge port 140 of the cleaning robot 100, the extending structure and the sealing mechanism 130 seal the gap between the garbage receiving port 710 and the garbage discharge port 140, so as to form a sealed space. By improving the sealing performance between the garbage receiving port 710 and the garbage discharge port 140, it is convenient for the suction device 750 to better suck out dust particles and also avoid the leakage of dust particles from the garbage discharge port 140.

[0039] The processing station 700 includes a first accommodation box 770, a second accommodation box 780, and a suction device 750. The garbage recycling device 760 is disposed in the first accommodation box 770, and the suction device 750 is installed in the second accommodation box 780. The first accommodation box 770 and the second accommodation box 780 are pneumatically connected. Specifically, the garbage recycling device 760 can adopt a breathable garbage recycling bag or a garbage recycling box with a filter and breathability. The first accommodation box 770 is disposed above the second accommodation box 780, and an air hole is provided at the junction of the first accommodation box 770 and the second accommodation box 780 to communicate the first accommodation box 770 and the second accommodation box 780 through the air hole. The second accommodation box 780 communicates with the outside. Please refer to Figure 2 , the gas flow direction is as Figure 2The arrow indicates the direction, and the flow direction of the dust particles inside the cleaning robot 100 is generally the same as the gas flow direction. The dust particles sequentially pass through the waste discharge port 140 of the dust collection box 120, enter the waste receiving port 710 of the treatment station 700, and then enter the suction pipe 740 of the treatment station 700. Under the power of the suction device 750, they enter the waste recycling device 760 along the suction pipe 740 to complete the recycling of the waste. The internal gas then passes through the waste recycling device 760, enters the suction device 750 in the second accommodation box 780 along the junction of the first accommodation box 770 and the second accommodation box 780, and then flows out through the ventilation hole where the second accommodation box 780 communicates with the outside world.

[0040] There are two specific ways to open the waste discharge port 140 of the present application. The following introduces two embodiments of the waste discharge port 140.

[0041] The first embodiment is as Figure 1 shown. Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the cleaning system in the first embodiment provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, in the initial state, the treatment station 700 guides the cleaning robot 100 to move towards the treatment station 700. The treatment station 700 includes a ramp, and the controller includes a pressure sensor disposed on the ramp. The pressure sensor is configured to detect the pressure information on the treatment station 700 and transmit the pressure information to the controller. Initially, the sealing mechanism 130 closes the waste discharge port 140. When the controller receives the pressure information, the controller determines that the cleaning robot 100 has reached the designated position on the treatment station 700, and the waste discharge port 140 of the cleaning robot 100 and the treatment station 700 are accurately docked. At this time, the controller issues an instruction to supply power to the electromagnet 711 through the circuit module, so that the electromagnet 711 generates a magnetic force after being energized, generates a suction force on the sealing mechanism 130, and causes the sealing mechanism 130 to rotate downward under the attraction force to open the waste discharge port 140, wherein the sealing mechanism 130 is made of a metal material. After the sealing mechanism 130 is sucked open, specifically as Figure 2 shown. Figure 2Another schematic diagram of the cleaning system in the first embodiment provided by the embodiments of the present invention. The garbage discharge port 140 is open, and the suction device 750 of the treatment station 700 generates suction to suck garbage such as dust particles inside the cleaning robot 100 along the direction indicated in the figure. Further, when the pressure information exceeds the first preset value, the controller controls the electromagnet 711 to generate a magnetic force to attract the sealing mechanism 130 to open the garbage discharge port 140. The ramp is provided with a groove 720, and the pressure sensor is installed in the groove 720. In this application, by setting the first preset value, when external substances fall on the groove 720 of the treatment station 700, the controller will not make a misjudgment to cause the suction device 750 of the treatment station 700 to start sucking garbage, resulting in waste of electric energy. The first preset value is set according to the weight of the cleaning robot 100. In this application, the controller detects the pressure information on the treatment station 700 in real time, and timely uses the suction force generated by the electromagnet 711 to open the sealing mechanism 130 of the cleaning robot 100, thereby opening the garbage discharge port 140 to achieve intelligent garbage discharge. It does not require the suction device 750 of the treatment station 700 to provide a strong suction force, reduces the suction requirement for the maintenance station, and further reduces the manufacturing cost of the treatment station 700, realizes intelligent garbage discharge of the cleaning robot 100, and improves the user experience.

[0042] Optionally, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4Schematic diagram of the processing station 700 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The processing station 700 is provided with a code 730. The cleaning robot 100 is provided with a light emitter (not shown in the figure), and a light receiver (not shown in the figure) is correspondingly provided on the ramp of the processing station 700. The code 730 is arranged on the side wall of the processing station 700, and the side wall faces the cleaning robot 100. The cleaning robot 100 is provided with a positioning recognition device for recognizing the code 730 to generate induction information. The positioning recognition device is arranged around the cleaning robot 100. When and only when the cleaning robot 100 walks along the ramp of the processing station 700 and the positioning recognition device is close to the code 730 on the side wall of the processing station 700, after the positioning recognition device detects the code 730, the light emitter of the cleaning robot 100 emits light, and the light receiver on the processing station 700 receives the light. The light receiver is arranged on a circuit, and a photoelectric sensor is arranged on the circuit. After the photoelectric sensor senses the optical signal, a corresponding current signal is generated on the circuit. Then, the controller controls the circuit where the electromagnet 711 is located to generate a current according to the current signal, so that the electromagnet 711 generates a magnetic force to attract and open the sealing mechanism 130. The solution accurately judges the position of the cleaning robot 100 on the processing station 700 through the positioning recognition device, so that when the cleaning robot 100 reaches the garbage discharge position on the processing station 700, the processing station 700 timely senses and controls the electromagnet 711 to open the sealing mechanism 130. The cleaning robot 100 discharges garbage, the suction device 750 of the processing station 700 provides power, and the garbage recycling device 760 sucks in the garbage, realizing intelligent garbage discharge and improving the user experience.

[0043] The cleaning robot 100 includes a circuit module, which refers to the hardware structure and part of the circuit arranged on the internal circuit of the cleaning robot 100. The circuit module is electrically connected to the electromagnet 711. When the controller detects the induction information, the controller controls the circuit module to generate a current so that the electromagnet 711 generates a magnetic force, and the sealing mechanism 130 is attracted and opened by the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 711. The cleaning robot 100 discharges garbage, the suction device 750 of the processing station 700 provides power, and the garbage recycling device 760 sucks in the garbage, realizing intelligent garbage discharge without the user having to handle the garbage on the cleaning robot 100 personally, improving the user experience.

[0044] For the second embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 Schematic of the cleaning system in the second embodiment provided by an embodiment of the present invention Figure 6Another schematic diagram of the cleaning system in the second embodiment provided by the embodiments of the present invention, that is, an auxiliary mechanism is introduced on the basis of the electromagnet 711 to open the sealing mechanism 130. The processing station 700 includes a signal guiding device (not shown in the figure) and an auxiliary mechanism. The signal guiding device is configured to guide the cleaning robot 100 to dock with the processing station 700. When the signal guiding device guides the cleaning robot 100 to move, the auxiliary mechanism pushes open the sealing mechanism 130. The sealing mechanism 130 uses a sealing plate, and the sealing plate is arranged at the bottom of the machine body 110 and on the outside. Preferably, the signal guiding device includes a first signal guiding device and a second signal guiding device. The first signal guiding device can radiate signals around so that the cleaning robot 100 determines the position of the processing station 700 through a signal receiver. The first signal guiding device is arranged on the upper part of the base. The second guiding device is configured to guide the cleaning robot 100 to accurately dock with the processing station 700. The second signal guiding device is arranged on the second receiving box. The first signal guiding device is configured to periodically emit light around so that the cleaning robot 100 finds the processing station 700, that is, the positioning of the cleaning robot 100 to the processing station 700 is realized through the first signal guiding device, and the precise docking of the cleaning robot 100 with the processing station 700 is realized through the second signal guiding device. Optionally, the auxiliary mechanism is arranged near the garbage receiving port 710. The signal guiding device includes a plurality of signal transmitters. The plurality of signal transmitters are installed in the installation box of the base, and the cleaning robot 100 is guided to move towards the processing station 700 through the wireless signals emitted by the signal transmitters. The sealing mechanism 130 is provided with a convex portion protruding from the surface. The sealing mechanism 130 is arranged inside the machine body 110. The convex portion passes through the bottom of the machine body 110 and is connected to the sealing mechanism 130. The sealing mechanism 130 preferably uses a sealing plate. Further, a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the bottom of the machine body 110. The limiting hole extends along the length direction so that the convex portion can move in the limiting hole. When the sealing mechanism 130 seals the garbage discharge port 140, the convex portion is located at one end of the limiting hole. The signal guiding device guides the cleaning robot 100 to move, as Figure 5 shown, in the initial state, the sealing mechanism 130 at the bottom of the cleaning robot 100 seals the garbage discharge port 140. When the cleaning robot 100 continues to move on the ramp of the processing station 700, the convex portion contacts the auxiliary mechanism on the ramp. When the cleaning robot 100 continues to move, the auxiliary mechanism abuts against the convex portion and pushes the sealing mechanism 130 to open the garbage discharge port 140. Specifically, the convex portion moves along the length direction of the limiting hole. When it moves to the other end of the limiting hole, the sealing mechanism 130 just completely opens the garbage discharge port 140. At this time, as Figure 6As shown, the dust collection box 120 is communicated with the garbage discharge port 140 through the connecting pipe 141. Dust particles are discharged from the garbage discharge port 140 along the connecting pipe 141, and then the suction device 750 of the treatment station 700 provides power and the garbage recycling device 760 sucks in the garbage, realizing the intelligent discharge of garbage. There is no need for the user to handle the garbage on the cleaning robot 100 personally, improving the user experience.

[0045] The above are two solutions for opening the sealing mechanism 130 of the cleaning robot 100 in this application. After the cleaning robot 100 leaves the treatment station 700, the sealing mechanism 130 needs to be closed in time to avoid the dust inside from spilling out when the cleaning robot 100 is used again, which brings a bad user experience to the user. Based on the above considerations, an elastic reset mechanism 170 is provided on the cleaning robot 100. The cleaning robot 100 includes an elastic reset mechanism 170 provided on the machine body 110. One end of the elastic reset mechanism 170 is fixed on the machine body 110, and the other end is connected to the sealing mechanism 130. Figure 9 It is a schematic diagram of the interior of the cleaning robot 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of the elastic reset mechanism 170 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. When the sealing mechanism 130 is pushed open from the garbage discharge port 140 by other mechanisms, the elastic reset mechanism 170 is in a deformed state. Specifically, the elastic reset mechanism 170 is a spring device. When the sealing mechanism 130 is pushed open from the garbage discharge port 140 by other mechanisms, the spring device is stretched or compressed. After leaving the evacuation station, it loses the external force and resets under the action of the spring device, so that the sealing mechanism 130 returns to its original position and closes the garbage discharge port 140. Through the elastic reset mechanism 170, the sealing mechanism 130 resets in time to close the garbage discharge port 140, realizing autonomous reset and making the cleaning robot 100 more intelligent.

[0046] Optionally, the cleaning robot 100 further includes a first reset mechanism. The first reset mechanism is arranged inside the machine body 110. The first reset mechanism includes a driving mechanism 160, a gear member 150, and a conveyor belt 151 for linking the driving mechanism 160 and the gear member 150. The gear member 150 is connected to the sealing mechanism 130. Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the first reset mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 It is another schematic diagram of the first reset mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention. When the sealing mechanism 130 of the cleaning robot 100 is opened, as Figure 7As shown, after the cleaning robot 100 leaves the processing station 700, the sealing mechanism 130 needs to be closed in a timely manner. After the cleaning robot 100 leaves the processing station 700, the driving mechanism 160 is connected to the gear member 150 through the conveyor belt 151. When the driving mechanism 160 rotates, it will drive the gear member 150 to rotate. The sealing mechanism 130 is reset under the drive of the gear member 150, specifically as Figure 8 shown. The sealing mechanism 130 closes the garbage discharge port 140 again to prevent the dust inside from spilling out when the cleaning robot 100 is used again, which may bring a bad user experience to the user. The first reset mechanism drives the sealing mechanism 130 to return to its original state through the gear member 150, realizing autonomous reset and making the cleaning robot 100 more intelligent.
