Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of sweeping robots, and in particular to a cleaning box for vacuuming and mopping a floor and a sweeping robot thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing sweeping robots are generally provided with a dust box and a water tank. The dust box is used for vacuuming and cleaning, and the water tank is used for mopping and cleaning. Generally, the dust box is installed in the middle of the sweeping robot, and the water tank is installed at the rear of the sweeping robot. The dust box and the water tank are placed separately to achieve two cleaning effects. However, this method has a complex structure and requires two parts of space for separate installation.

[0003] Some sweeping robots have the dust box and water tank as an integrated structure, which can be installed on the sweeping robot in an integrated manner, and a structure for installing each other is set between the dust box and the water tank. Generally, the dust box is on the front side and the water tank is on the back side, which are combined to form an integrated structure; however, this structure has the following problems: first, the integrated structure cannot realize the independent installation of the dust box and the water tank, and the dust box cannot be installed on the sweeping robot alone, resulting in the user being unable to remove the water tank when only vacuuming and cleaning is needed; second, due to the limitation of the integrated structure, the dust box cannot expand its volume alone, and the dust box can hold less garbage, resulting in users dumping garbage in the dust box more frequently.

[0004] At the same time, the existing sweeping robots still have the problem of being unable to accurately receive signals from the remote control. An existing sweeping robot has a dust box installed in the middle. In order to improve its reception range of remote control signals, the sweeping robot with this structure generally has a transparent window on the rear of the sweeping robot, and a receiving head is installed in the window. The receiving head can improve its signal reception range, but this structure causes the overall appearance of the sweeping robot to be destroyed, seriously affecting its appearance, and the structure is complex and the cost is high.

[0005] Another type of sweeping robot has a dust box and a water tank installed integrally at the rear of the sweeping robot. The sweeping robot with this structure has a serious defect that it cannot accurately receive the signal from the remote control. This is mainly because the dust box and the water tank are installed integrally at the rear of the sweeping robot, which makes it impossible to install a receiving head at the rear of the sweeping robot. The receiving head can only be installed on the left or right side of the sweeping robot. However, this will cause a blind spot at the rear of the sweeping robot where the signal cannot be received, especially when the sweeping robot walks far forward. At this time, when the user holds the remote control and sends a signal from the remote control at the rear of the sweeping robot, the receiving head cannot receive the signal due to the blind spot. At this time, the user needs to change direction, resulting in a poor user experience. At the same time, the overall appearance of the sweeping robot will be damaged, seriously affecting the appearance, and the structure is complex and the cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned related art at least to a certain extent.

[0007] To this end, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cleaning box and a sweeping robot thereof, which mainly solves the problem that the dust box and water tank of the existing sweeping robot are limited by the integrated structure of the dust box and water tank, which limits the dust box from being able to be installed on the sweeping robot alone, and solves the problem that the dust box cannot be expanded independently, resulting in less garbage that can be contained. At the same time, it solves the problem that the existing sweeping robot has a blind spot in receiving remote control signals, affects the appearance, has a complex structure, and has a high cost.

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning box and a sweeping robot thereof, wherein the cleaning box is at least used to collect particulate matter, a dust collecting chamber is arranged in the cleaning box, the cleaning box also includes an outer shell, the outer shell is arranged as a transparent structure, the dust collecting chamber is located in the outer shell, and at least one receiving head for receiving signals is installed in the dust collecting chamber, and the signals at least include infrared signals.

[0010] The aforementioned cleaning box also includes a water tank for storing water, the water tank is detachably installed in the dust collecting chamber, and a water storage chamber is arranged in the water tank.

[0011] The aforementioned cleaning box further comprises a lower cover, which is rotatably mounted on the outer shell to open and close the dust collecting chamber, and a filter located between the air inlet and the air outlet is installed in the dust collecting chamber.

[0012] The aforementioned cleaning box, the water tank is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet; the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively connected to the water storage chamber;

[0013] It also includes a drainage component, on which a water collection port connected to the drainage port is arranged, and one side of the water collection port is provided with a plurality of drainage channels connected thereto.

[0014] In the aforementioned cleaning box, at least one water leakage opening is provided on the drainage channel or the lower cover, and the water leakage opening penetrates the lower cover and is used to drain water outwards.

[0015] In the aforementioned cleaning box, the drainage member is installed on the lower cover, and the drainage member is located at the lower side of the water tank and at the lower side of the drainage port.

[0016] The aforementioned cleaning box is equipped with a water outlet for water supply, and the water storage chamber is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively connected with the water outlet, and the water inlet is connected with the water storage chamber, and the drain is connected with the water outlet.

[0017] The cleaning robot further comprises the cleaning box as mentioned above, and the cleaning box is detachably mounted on the rear side of the cleaning robot.

[0018] The aforementioned sweeping robot further includes a rag holder, which is detachably mounted on the bottom of the sweeping robot and is configured as a floating structure connected via an elastic member; a rag is mounted on the bottom of the rag holder.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This solution utilizes the outer shell of the cleaning box to be set as a transparent structure, and a receiving head is set in the dust collecting chamber, and the receiving head is set to face the rear side of the cleaning box, so as to increase the receiving range of the sweeping robot for receiving remote control signals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment: The cleaning box 10 and the sweeping robot thereof of the present invention are as follows: Figures 1 to 15 As shown in the structure, the cleaning box 10 is used to be installed on a sweeping robot to achieve vacuum cleaning and / or mopping cleaning; it is at least used to collect particulate matter and other garbage, and a dust collecting chamber 101 is arranged in the cleaning box 10. The cleaning box 10 also includes a shell 102, and the shell 102 is arranged to be a transparent structure. The dust collecting chamber 101 is located in the shell 102, and at least one receiving head 30 for receiving signals is installed in the dust collecting chamber 101, and the signal at least includes an infrared signal.

[0042] The cleaning box 10 of this solution includes a housing 102, a dust collecting chamber 101 is arranged in the housing 102, and the housing 102 is a transparent structure. It also includes a lower cover 105, which is installed at the lower part of the housing 102, and the lower cover 105 and the housing 102 together form the cavity structure of the dust collecting chamber 101.

[0043] The cleaning box 10 of the present solution includes an outer shell 102, which is configured as a transparent structure. The transparent structure allows the user to conveniently check the status of garbage in the cleaning box 10. The water tank 20 is also configured as a transparent structure, and the water level status in the water tank 20 can also be checked to improve the user experience. The dust collecting chamber 101 is located in the outer shell 102. The dust collecting chamber 101 is configured in the outer shell 102 for collecting garbage such as particulate matter. The outer shell 102 and the lower cover 105 form the cavity structure of the dust collecting chamber 101.

[0044] In the present solution, at least one receiving head 30 for receiving signals is installed in the dust collecting chamber 101 in the cleaning box 10, and the signals include at least infrared signals. The receiving head 30 is mainly used to receive infrared signals emitted by the remote control so that the user can guide or specify the status of the sweeping robot through the remote control. Since the shell 102 of the cleaning box 10 of the present solution is a transparent structure, it can be penetrated by infrared signals. The transparent structure of the shell 102 is fully utilized to install the receiving head 30 in the dust collecting chamber 101, and the infrared signal emitted by the remote control can penetrate the shell 102 and be received by the receiving head 30. This solves the problem that the existing sweeping robot needs to set a transparent window on the sweeping robot to install the receiving head 30. This solves the problem that the existing sweeping robot has a blind spot when receiving the signal of the remote control, affects the appearance, has a complex structure, and has a high cost.

[0045] Optionally, a seal is provided on the outside of the receiving head 30 , and the receiving head 30 is wrapped and installed in the dust collecting chamber 101 , mainly installed on the housing 102 , to prevent the receiving head 30 from being covered by dust.

[0046] Preferably, receiving heads 30 are respectively installed on both sides of the dust collecting chamber 101, which can further increase the range of receiving signals.

[0047] Among them, the side of the cleaning box 10 is provided with an air inlet 103 and an air outlet 104. The air inlet 103 is arranged on the side of the front side of the cleaning box 10, that is, on the inner side; the air outlet 104 can be arranged on the same side as the air inlet 103, and it is only necessary to realize the communication between the fan and the air outlet 104 when the cleaning box 10 is installed on the sweeping robot, so that the fan can generate suction on the air outlet 104; the air outlet 104 can also be set on the connected side of the side where the air inlet 103 is located, and the position of the fan can be set correspondingly, and it depends on realizing the communication between the fan and the air outlet 104 to generate suction, thereby realizing the suction of garbage into the dust collecting chamber 101.

[0048] Among them, the receiving head 30 faces the side opposite to the air inlet 103; the air inlet 103 is arranged on the side of the front side of the cleaning box 10, that is, on the inner side, so that when the cleaning box 10 is installed on the sweeping robot, the air inlet 103 and the dust suction channel can be docked, and the garbage can be sucked into the dust collecting chamber 101 through the dust suction channel; the receiving head 30 is arranged on the side opposite to the air inlet 103, that is, on the side facing the rear side of the cleaning box 10, and the side of the rear side is an arc surface, which can also be understood as the side of the outer side of the cleaning box 10, When the cleaning box 10 is installed on the sweeping robot, the receiving head 30 is facing the rear side of the sweeping robot, that is, the rear side of the cleaning box 10. At this time, the receiving range of the receiving head 30 for the infrared signal emitted by the remote control can be increased, thereby solving the problem of the reception blind spot at the rear of the existing sweeping robot. When the sweeping robot walks forward for a long distance, when the user holds the remote control and sends the infrared signal of the remote control in the rear direction of the sweeping robot, the receiving head 30 can accurately receive the infrared signal, thereby enabling the user to guide the sweeping robot or specify the status.

[0049] The receiving head 30 includes at least a lamp bead part, and the part of the lamp bead that receives infrared signals is spherical; the coverage area of ​​the lamp bead part that can receive infrared signals covers at least the middle area of ​​the rear side of the cleaning box 10, so as to improve the receiving range of the receiving head 30 for infrared signals.

[0050] Preferably, the receiving head 30 faces the rear side of the cleaning box 10 and the left or right side of the cleaning box 10; this is beneficial to further improve the coverage area of ​​the receiving head 30 that can receive infrared signals to at least cover the middle area of ​​the rear side of the cleaning box 10.

[0051] The working mode between the receiving head 30 and the remote control of the present scheme is that the remote control is configured separately, and the receiving head 30 and the remote control are mainly used to realize the transmission and reception of infrared signals to realize the guidance of the remote control to the sweeping robot; the receiving head 30 is connected to the electric contact A, and when the cleaning box 10 is installed in place, the electric contact A and the electric contact B on the main body of the sweeping robot are in contact with each other to realize electrical connection, and the electric contact B is electrically connected to the electric control board on the sweeping robot, and the electric control board is mainly connected to the power module to realize power supply, and the power module can be a battery; the whole process realizes the power supply effect of the receiving head 30; at the same time, the infrared signal received by the receiving head 30 is finally transmitted to the control unit on the electric control board for processing, so as to realize the signal interaction between the remote control and the receiving head 30.

[0052] The cleaning box 10 is at least used for collecting garbage such as particulate matter, and includes a water tank 20 for storing water.

When the water tank 20 is installed in place, the cleaning box 10 is divided into two parts, one part is the water tank 20, and the other part is the dust collecting chamber 101. At this time, due to The water tank 20 occupies a part of the dust collecting chamber 101, which will reduce the volume of the dust collecting chamber 101; however, setting the water tank 20 in the dust collecting chamber 101 can make the installation and removal of the water tank 20 have no effect on the external overall structure of the cleaning box 10. When the water tank 20 is not installed in place, the cleaning box 10 can also be independently installed on the sweeping robot for vacuuming and cleaning alone, which is convenient for users to use and solves the problem that the existing one-piece dust box water tank 20 limits the dust box from being installed on the sweeping robot alone; the cleaning box 10 of this solution can be used for independent vacuuming and cleaning. At this time, the volume of the dust collecting chamber 101 can be increased and the water tank 20 is removed.

[0053] Among them, the cleaning box 10 also includes a lower cover 105, which is rotatably mounted on the shell 102 to open and close the dust collecting chamber 101, and a filter 106 located between the air inlet 103 and the air outlet 104 is installed in the dust collecting chamber 101; the structure of the lower cover 105 opening and closing the dust collecting chamber 101 is mainly that one end of the lower cover 105 and one end of the shell 102 are hinged to each other so that the lower cover 105 can be rotated relative to the shell 102 to open and close the dust collecting chamber 101; the other end of the lower cover 105 is snap-connected to the other end of the shell 102 by a buckle, so that the lower cover 105 can be installed on the shell 102 and can also be rotated relative to the shell 102 to open and close the dust collecting chamber 101; the lower cover 105 is used to carry garbage, and when the lower cover 105 is opened, the lower cover 105 rotates to open the dust collecting chamber 101 so that the garbage in the cleaning box 10 can be directly dumped, which is convenient for users to use.

[0054] The lower cover 105 of the present invention is used to carry garbage and can be turned over to open and close the dust collecting chamber 101 to dump the garbage in the cleaning box 10. The user does not need to turn over the cleaning box 10 to dump the garbage, which is more convenient for the user.

[0055] Optionally, the filter 106 may be a Hypa, which plays a role in filtering garbage.

[0056] The structure of the water tank 20 is provided with a water filling port 202 and a water discharge port 203; the water filling port 202 is used by the user to add water to the water storage chamber 201 in the water tank 20, and the water discharge port 203 is used to discharge the water in the water storage chamber 201 to the outside for mopping and cleaning. The water filling port 202 and the water discharge port 203 are respectively connected to the water storage chamber 201; the water filling and water discharge effects of the water tank 20 can be achieved.

[0057] The present solution also includes a drainage component 40, which can be installed on the lower cover 105, and the drainage component 40 is located at the lower side of the water tank 20 and at the lower side of the drain port 203; it is convenient for the water in the water tank 20 to enter the drainage component 40 from top to bottom to achieve the effect of water supply; it is convenient for the drainage component 40 and the drain port 203 to connect and drain, at this time, gravity can be relied on for drainage, and a water seepage core is installed in the drain port 203 to achieve slow drainage.

[0058] The docking drainage structure of the water tank 20 and the drainage member 40, the drainage member 40 is provided with a water collection port 401 docked with the drainage port 203, and one side of the water collection port 401 is provided with multiple drainage channels 402 connected thereto; the drainage channel 402 plays the role of multi-stream diversion, disperses the water from the water collection port 401 into multiple streams and enters the drainage channel 402 respectively, so as to achieve the effect of large-area multi-point drainage; when the water tank 20 is installed in place, the lower cover 105 closes the dust collecting chamber 101 at this time, realizes the docking water supply of the drainage port 203 and the drainage member 40, mainly for the docking between the drainage port 203 and the water collection port 401, realizes the water in the water storage chamber 201 enters the water collection port 401, and then enters the drainage channel 402 through the water collection port 401, and the drainage channel 402 is arranged to be multiple distributions, which plays the role of diverting water, so as to achieve the water supply effect in multiple directions.

[0059] In the docking drainage structure of the water tank 20 and the drainage component 40, the drain outlet 203 is set as a centrally-through cylindrical structure, and a sealing plug is set in the water collecting port 401.

[0070] Among them, the drain outlet 203 of the cleaning box 10 can directly supply water to the rag 502, or the drain outlet 203 can supply water to the drainage component 40, and then enter the drainage channel 402 on the drainage component 40 and drain through the leakage port 403; it is only necessary to supply the water in the water tank 20 to the rag 502 and then mop the floor for cleaning.

[0071] Working principle: The cleaning box 10 of the present solution is used to be installed on a sweeping robot to realize the functions of vacuuming and mopping of the sweeping robot. The cleaning box 10 mainly installs a detachable water tank 20 in the dust collecting chamber 101 inside it, which can adapt to the cleaning function of the sweeping robot. When the water tank 20 is installed in place, the sweeping robot can realize both vacuuming and mopping functions. When the user does not need to mop, the water tank 20 can be removed separately. At the same time, the volume of the dust collecting chamber 101 in the cleaning chamber can be increased, which is conducive to the vacuuming of the sweeping robot to collect more particles and other garbage; at the same time, the shell 102 of the cleaning box 10 of the sweeping robot is fully utilized as a transparent structure to realize the installation of a receiving head 30. The receiving head 30 can increase the range of the sweeping robot's rear end receiving the signal sent by the remote control, which is mainly an infrared signal. The infrared signal can penetrate the transparent shell 102 and be received by the receiving head 30, so that the user can indicate the walking direction and status of the sweeping robot through the remote control.

[0072] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present invention, and in actual applications, various changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all of which are within the protection scope of the present invention.
