Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the cleaning field of intelligent cleaning robots, and particularly to a dust box and a cleaning robot system thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing cleaning robots mainly have functions of vacuuming and mopping the floor. For the vacuuming function, it mainly sucks the garbage on the ground into the dust box inside it, and the dust box realizes the collection of garbage. However, due to the limitation of the overall structure of the cleaning robot, the dust box needs to be emptied frequently, and even the user needs to empty it every day. Therefore, at present, a base station is set up on the market. The base station is mainly equipped with a high-suction fan and a large-capacity garbage box. The high-suction fan works to suck the garbage in the dust box inside the cleaning robot into the garbage box through docking, so as to realize that the user can empty the garbage box regularly or periodically, relatively improving the user experience effect.
[0003] There is a filter called Hepa for air flow on one side of the fan inside the existing cleaning robot. The Hepa blocks part of the garbage and adsorbs part of the particulate matter, so that the fan can realize the vacuuming function during operation, and the air flow can be discharged outside the cleaning robot along with the fan without polluting the indoor gas. However, the filtering effect of the Hepa will be reduced after long-term use, and even blocked. The blocked Hepa needs to be manually cleaned by the user before reuse or a new Hepa needs to be replaced, resulting in a short service life and high maintenance cost of the Hepa.
[0004] Although the existing base station can realize the suction and collection of the garbage in the cleaning robot, it mainly realizes the suction of the air flow under the work of the high-suction fan through the air inlet of the suction port on the cleaning robot to suck the garbage into the base station for collection. However, based on the current dust box and base station of the existing cleaning robot, they cannot independently and centrally suck and clean the Hepa inside the cleaning robot, and cannot suck the particulate matter adsorbed on the Hepa to achieve the cleaning effect of the Hepa.
[0005] During the process of sucking garbage by the high-suction fan on the existing base station, a filtering structure must be set between the high-suction fan and the garbage box to filter the air flow. Only after filtering can the air flow generated by the high-suction fan be discharged into the indoor environment. If the filtering is not sufficient, the discharged air flow will pollute the indoor environment and cannot meet the standard requirements. Due to the large suction of the air flow generated by the high-suction fan, the filtering structure between the high-suction fan and the garbage box is very complex, resulting in the following main problem points of the base station:
[0006] (1) To address the complex challenges of the filtration structure, some base stations use a disposable cloth bag as the dust box. The cloth bag is made of a specific material to achieve a filtering effect. A high-suction fan generates suction to draw the garbage in the dust box into the cloth bag, while achieving the filtering effect. The air flow passing through the cloth bag can be normally discharged into the indoor environment. However, the cost of the cloth bag is relatively high, and users need to regularly purchase and replace it. Moreover, the cloth bag can only be used once and cannot be reused, resulting in a high overall cost of the base station and low user acceptance. At the same time, tiny particles in the garbage will be adsorbed on the cloth bag under the action of the high-suction fan, thereby clogging the filtering holes of the cloth bag and reducing the suction of the high-suction fan for sucking garbage, which directly leads to the failure of sucking the garbage in the dust box. This also directly causes users to frequently replace the cloth bag to enable the base station to suck and collect garbage, resulting in a very high maintenance cost for the base station.
[0007] (2) Some other base stations also try to solve the complex filtration problem by setting up a multi-step and hierarchical filtration system in the dust box. First, the large-volume garbage in the garbage is initially filtered, then the medium-volume garbage is filtered, and further the smaller-volume garbage is filtered. Finally, a precision filtration layer is set up to adsorb the tiny garbage. It can be seen that to solve the filtration of the air flow under the high-suction fan, a multi-layer filtration system needs to be set up, and each filtration layer needs to be regularly cleaned. The precision filtration layer needs to be regularly replaced. If not cleaned and replaced in time, the filtration system will be clogged by garbage and become ineffective, resulting in the failure of the high-suction fan to suck the garbage in the dust box. The construction cost of the filtration system is relatively high, and the filtration layer needs to be regularly cleaned and replaced. The filtration layer is a consumable for regular replacement, resulting in poor user experience and low acceptance, and also a relatively high maintenance cost for the base station in the later stage. At the same time, serious dust problems will occur when dumping the garbage in the dust box, resulting in a poor user experience when dumping the dust box.
[0008] At the same time, existing base stations also have the problem of relatively single functions, unable to achieve the multi-functional cleaning effect of the cleaning robot, unable to simultaneously solve the problems of sucking garbage for collection and cleaning the cleaning parts, and unable to meet the user's usage requirements.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] In this solution, by providing a first air flow channel and a second air flow channel, the first air flow channel realizes that the cleaning robot sucks the ground garbage into the garbage chamber during normal operation, and the second air flow channel realizes an independent and centralized channel structure for cleaning the filter, which can realize the independent cleaning of the filter, reduce the adsorption amount of particulate matter on the filter, and further reduce the frequency and cost of filter maintenance and cleaning.
[0029] The second air flow channel of this solution can effectively realize a channel structure for centrally cleaning the whole area of the filter, and realize the automatic closing of the first air flow channel through the air flow when centrally cleaning the filter, so as to realize the independent air flow centralized suction effect on the filter through the second air flow channel, with good suction and cleaning effect on the filter and high reliability.
[0030] The integrated station of this solution has a multi-functional usage effect. It not only realizes the suction and collection of garbage in the dust box, but also realizes the cleaning of the cleaning parts of the cleaning robot and the collection of the sewage after cleaning, and further can realize the independent and centralized cleaning of the filter.
[0031] This solution sets a clean water tank. The clean water tank provides clean water for cleaning the cleaning parts. The clean water in the clean water tank enters the cleaning area. The cleaning parts move automatically in the cleaning area to realize the cleaning of the cleaning parts, and the cleaning parts can be cleaned multiple times with good cleaning effect. There is no need for the user to manually disassemble the cleaning parts for cleaning. It realizes the automatic water supply to the cleaning area to clean the cleaning parts, and completes the collection and treatment of the sewage after cleaning.
[0032] The integrated station of this solution sets a second air flow generator and a sewage collection tank. Through the sewage collection tank, it realizes the suction and collection of the garbage in the dust box and the suction and collection of the sewage in the cleaning area, so that the garbage and the sewage are mixed in the sewage collection tank, and then realizes the filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage. It can effectively solve the problem of dust emission from the sewage collection tank, and at the same time can solve the problem of the need for filtration between the sewage collection tank and the second air flow generator, realizing the problem that there is no need to set a disposable dust bag or a multi-step hierarchical filtration system between the sewage collection tank and the second air flow generator, and the mixing and filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage is good, and it can realize the full mixing of the particles that are easy to generate dust and easy to adsorb on the filter in the sewage.
[0033] This solution sets a sewage collection channel on the sewage collection tank. Through the sewage collection channel, it realizes guiding the sucked garbage to be directly mixed with the sewage in the sewage collection tank immediately. The end of the sewage collection channel is located below the water surface of the sewage to ensure that the garbage can be fully and timely mixed with the sewage when entering the sewage collection tank through the sewage collection channel, realizing the full and effective filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage, and the reliability is higher.
[0034] For the collection of sewage, this solution sets a second air flow generator to suck the sewage after cleaning the cleaning parts. At this time, there will be some garbage in the sewage, mainly because the cleaning parts are covered with dirt and garbage after mopping the floor. At this time, there is a mixture of sewage and garbage in the cleaning area after cleaning the cleaning parts. The large suction air flow of the second air flow generator can realize sucking the large-volume garbage in the sewage into the sewage tank for collection. Ordinary water pumps cannot suck garbage and are easy to block, and because the water pumps have no air flow suction, they only suck the sewage and some smaller particles, and the larger garbage remains in the cleaning area and cannot be cleaned. This solution uses a second air flow generator to realize the centralized suction and treatment of sewage and garbage, and the cleaning effect is good.
[0035] The solution of collecting sewage and garbage through mixed filtration replaces the disposable dust collection cloth bag or multi - filtration system on existing base stations. The overall structure is simple, and the later maintenance cost is low. There is no need to set up the filtration system or disposable dust collection cloth bag configured in existing base stations, and there is no problem of regularly replacing the consumables of the filtration system or the cloth bag. The maintenance cost is extremely low, and it is convenient for users to use. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners
[0051] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0052] Embodiment: A dust box and its cleaning robot system of the present invention are as Figures 1 to 14 shown in the composition. This solution mainly includes a dust box 1 structure. The dust box 1 is used to collect and hold garbage. At the same time, the aforementioned dust box 1 is installed in the cleaning robot 2 of this solution. The dust box 1 is installed in the cleaning robot 2 for the cleaning robot 2 to suck up garbage, dust and other particulate matters on the ground during the dust suction function. The cleaning robot system of this solution includes the cleaning robot 2 including the aforementioned dust box 1, and an integrated station 3. The cleaning robot 2 and the integrated station 3 form a cleaning robot system to achieve the function of sucking and collecting the garbage in the dust box 1 in the cleaning robot 2, cleaning the cleaning member 205 of the cleaning robot 2, and completing the function of sucking and collecting the sewage after cleaning the cleaning member 205.
[0053] The dust box 1 of this scheme includes: a dust box body 101, a garbage cavity 102 is arranged in the dust box body 101, an air flow inlet 103 is arranged on one side of the garbage cavity 102, and the air flow inlet 103 is arranged to be connected to the garbage cavity 102. An air flow outlet 104 is also arranged on the dust box body 101, and a filter 105 is also arranged between the air flow outlet 104 and the garbage cavity 102. The air flow outlet 104 is arranged to be connected to the filter 105. When the dust box 1 is installed in the cleaning robot 2 to collect garbage, the cleaning robot 2 starts working, and the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 The upper dust suction port 206 is used to absorb garbage. The airflow enters the airflow inlet 103 from the dust suction port 206 and enters the garbage chamber 102 together with the garbage. The garbage, dust and other particles on the ground are mainly sucked into the garbage chamber 102 with the airflow, and then the airflow passes through the filter 105 for separation, so that part of the particles entrained in the dust are blocked from falling into the garbage chamber 102, and part of the relatively fine particles are adsorbed on the filter 105. The airflow separated by the filter 105 can be directly discharged to the outside of the dust box 1, that is, discharged to the outside of the cleaning robot 2. Because the airflow is filtered by the filter 105, the airflow is directly discharged without pollution. Indoor air environment; This solution is provided with a first air flow channel 1061 for sucking and collecting garbage, and is also provided with a second air flow channel 107 for separately and centrally sucking and cleaning the filter 105. The first air flow channel 1061 is mainly provided between the filter 105 and the garbage chamber 102. The first air flow channel 1061 is used to suck the garbage on the ground into the garbage chamber 102 for collection. At the same time, a movable valve 108 for opening and closing the first air flow channel 1061 is provided on the first air flow channel 1061 to achieve the opening and closing effect of the first air flow channel 1061. The first air When the first air flow channel 1061 is opened, the garbage chamber 102 is connected to the filter 105, and the garbage can be sucked into the garbage chamber 102 for collection and storage. When the first air flow channel 1061 is closed, the filter 105 and the garbage chamber 102 are not connected. At the same time, a second air flow channel 107 is provided between the filter 105 and the garbage chamber 102, and the second air flow channel 107 realizes the connection between the filter 105 and the garbage chamber 102. When the filter 105 is sucked and cleaned alone, the first air flow channel 1061 is closed to realize the separate and centralized suction and cleaning of the filter 105 through the second air flow channel 107.
[0054] In this solution, the filter 105 can be independently sucked and cleaned through the second airflow channel 107, thereby extending the replacement times of the filter 105, reducing the maintenance cost of the filter 105, and the filter 105 is not prone to clogging.
[0055] Specifically, the dust box body 101 may include an upper shell and a lower shell. A garbage chamber 102 is formed inside the lower shell, and a filter 105 is installed inside the upper shell. An air flow outlet 104 is provided on the upper shell, forming a communication structure from the filter 105 to the air flow outlet 104. An upper cover is provided on the upper shell, and a groove is formed inside the upper shell. The groove is used to install and place the filter 105, realizing the detachable installation of the filter 105. When the upper cover is opened, the filter 105 can be taken out of the groove for cleaning or replacement. When the filter 105 is installed in the groove, the upper cover can be snap-fitted onto the upper shell to seal the filter 105 in the groove.
[0056] In this solution, the filter 105 is set as a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter includes a filtering effect formed by multiple pleated structures and is made of cloth material with a filtering effect. The filter 105 filters the air flow so that garbage is collected in the garbage chamber 102. Small particulate garbage and other dust are adsorbed on the filter 105, and then the air flow passing through the filter 105 can be directly discharged into the room without polluting the indoor air environment.
[0057] The structure of the valve member 108 for opening and closing the first air flow channel 1061 in this solution is mainly that the valve member 108 is set as a rotatable structure. The opening and closing effect of the first air flow channel 1061 is realized by the rotation of the valve member 108. Specifically, when the valve member 108 rotates towards the filter 105, the first air flow channel 1061 is opened. Mainly, when the air flow enters the first air flow channel 1061 from the garbage chamber 102, the driving force effect on the valve member 108 is realized to make the valve member 108 rotate towards the filter 105, that is, to realize the opening of the first air flow channel 1061 by the valve member 108. When the valve member 108 rotates towards the garbage chamber 102, the first air flow channel 1061 is closed. When the valve member 108 does not receive the upward air flow from the garbage chamber 102, at this time, the valve member 108 rotates downward under the action of its own gravity to close the first air flow channel 1061. The force of the air flow and the gravity of the valve member 108 are fully utilized to realize the rotation effect of the valve member 108.
[0058] Regarding the first air flow channel 1061 of this solution, the number of the first air flow channels 1061 is one or more, and a valve member 108 is provided on each of the first air flow channels 1061 to open and close the first air flow channel 1061; multiple first air flow channels 1061 can not only disperse the passing of air flow, but also effectively prevent larger garbage from passing upward through the first air flow channel 1061. The first air flow channel 1061 can be set as a long and narrow directional structure to block larger-volume garbage from passing upward; at the same time, a single valve member 108 can be provided corresponding to a single first air flow channel 1061 to achieve the opening and closing effect of the first air flow channel 1061; or multiple juxtaposed first air flow channels 1061 can be provided corresponding to a single valve member 108 to achieve the opening and closing effect of the multiple first air flow channels 1061, which can be set according to needs, but it does not affect the opening and closing effect of the valve member 108 on the first air flow channel 1061.
[0059] In the position part between the filter 105 and the garbage chamber 102 of this solution, the filter 105 is located above the garbage chamber 102, and the first air flow channel 1061 is located below the filter 105 in the vertical direction, so that the air flow can enter downward through the first air flow channel 1061, and then pass through the filter 105 for filtration, while the garbage is directly located in the garbage chamber 102 and is not easily moved upward under the action of gravity. It can effectively achieve the suction and collection of garbage into the garbage chamber 102, and most of the garbage will not enter the first air flow channel 1061 upward, and most of the garbage will be blocked by the first air flow channel 1061 and fall downward under the action of gravity and be collected in the garbage chamber 102. The second air flow channel 107 is located on one side of the filter 105. The second air flow channel 107 is located between the first air flow channel 1061 and the filter 105 and forms a channel structure in the horizontal direction, which is conducive to the second air flow channel 107 forming a long and narrow suction channel effect and can achieve better agglomeration of air flow to suck and clean the filter 105.
[0060] In this solution, a diversion part 109 is provided between the second air flow channel 107 and the garbage chamber 102. An L-shaped channel is formed between the diversion part 109 and the garbage chamber 102. The diversion part 109 realizes the formation of an L-shaped channel between the second air flow channel 107 and the garbage chamber 102 to achieve the suction of particulate matters such as dust, and at the same time can prevent the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 from entering the second air flow channel 107 upward, playing a dual role; the L-shaped channel can realize the turning of the air flow to increase the thrust of the air flow to drive the garbage, which is conducive to the particulate matters on the filter 105 being sucked downward to enter the garbage chamber 102; at the same time, it can prevent the problem that the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 enters the second air flow channel 107 upward when collecting floor garbage.
[0061] For the channel area of the second air flow channel 107, the second air flow channel 107 is arranged as a long and narrow channel structure that penetrates the length position area and the width position area of the filter 105 in the horizontal direction, that is, the length direction and the width direction of the filter 105 can be penetrated by the second air flow channel 107, so as to realize the air flow suction and cleaning of the entire filtering area of the filter 105; at the same time, the second air flow channel 107 forms a long and narrow channel structure, which can play the role of gathering air flow, prevent the excessive diffusion of air flow, is conducive to the formation of a long and narrow air flow gathering effect after the air flow passes through the filter 105 and enters the second air flow channel 107, is conducive to the cleaning of the filter 105 and driving dust such as particulate matter to enter the garbage chamber 102 through the second air flow channel 107.
[0062] For the structural part of the first air flow channel 1061, mainly an air flow member 106 is arranged inside the dust box body 101. The air flow member 106 is installed inside the upper shell or on the lower shell. At the same time, the first air flow channel 1061 is arranged on the air flow member 106. A plurality of first air flow channels 1061 are arranged on the air flow member 106. The plurality of first air flow channels 1061 can be arranged in parallel to form a structure with more channels. The first air flow channel 1061 can be set as a square structure or a circular structure. For the rotatable structure of the valve member 108 on the air flow member 106, mainly a rotating part 1081 is arranged on the valve member 108. An installation part 1062 for installing the rotating part 1081 is arranged on the air flow member 106. The rotating part 1081 can rotate inside the installation part 1062. The installation part 1062 is set as a hole-like structure on the air flow member 106. The rotating part 1081 is set as a cylindrical or sheet-like structure that can be installed inside the hole-like structure. When air flows in from the air inlet 103 to suck garbage into the garbage chamber 102, the path of the air flow at this time is to enter from the air inlet 103, then enter the garbage chamber 102, and enter the first air flow channel 1061 upward from the garbage chamber 102. Under the action of the air flow, the valve member 108 rotates to open the first air flow channel 1061. Then the air flow is filtered by the filter 105 and discharged outside the dust box 1. It can be seen that the valve member 108 is set as a structure that can rotate under the action of the air flow. The valve member 108 can be set as a sheet-like mechanism. When the valve member 108 is not under the thrust of the upward air flow, it can ensure that the valve member 108 closes the first air flow channel 1061. It mainly rotates downward naturally under the action of gravity to close the first air flow channel 1061. When the valve member 108 is under the thrust of the upward air flow, the valve member 108 opens the first air flow channel 1061, thereby realizing the rotational opening and closing effect of the valve member 108 on the first air flow channel 1061. If the valve member 108 is under the suction of the downward air flow, the valve member 108 will be tightly pressed against the air flow member 106 to close the first air flow channel 1061. The valve member 108 structure of this solution is simple, makes full use of the acting force of the air flow to realize the opening effect of the valve member 108, does not require other power to drive, has high reliability, and is easy to clean the valve member 108.
[0063] The dust box 1 of this solution can discharge the garbage in the garbage chamber 102. When the dust box 1 is under the action of air flow, mainly the dust box 1 also includes a dust outlet 110. The dust outlet 110 is located on the bottom surface or side surface of the dust box body 101. The dust outlet 110 can be set on the bottom surface, and at this time the garbage can move downward for discharge. The dust outlet 110 can also be set on the side surface, and at this time the garbage can move in one direction around the dust box 1 for discharge. The position of the dust outlet 110 can be set according to needs. At the same time, the dust outlet 110 is set to be in a structure communicating with the garbage chamber 102, so that the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 can be discharged outward through the dust outlet 110. And the dust outlet 110 is communicated with the filter 105 through the garbage chamber 102 and the second air flow channel 107. The dust outlet 110 is not only communicated with the garbage chamber 102 to enable the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 to be discharged through the dust outlet 110, but also the dust outlet 110 is connected with the second air flow channel 107 and the filter 105 through the garbage chamber 102. When under the action of air flow, the dust such as garbage particles adsorbed on the filter 105 is centrally sucked under the action of air flow. Mainly, the air flow enters the second air flow channel 107 through the filter 105. During the process of the air flow entering, the garbage particles and other dust on the filter 105 are driven to separate and enter the second air flow channel 107 together with the air flow and finally enter the garbage chamber 102 and are discharged through the dust outlet 110, realizing the effect of sucking and cleaning the filter 105.
[0064] Regarding the position of the air inlet 103, in this solution, the air inlet 103 is located on one side surface of the dust box main body 101. The air inlet 103 can be located on any side surface of the dust box main body 101 to enable garbage to enter the garbage chamber 102 through the air inlet 103. The dust outlet 110 is located on an adjacent side surface or an opposite side surface to the side surface where the air inlet 103 is located. The dust outlet 110 is also located on a side surface of the dust box main body 101. However, the side surface where the dust outlet 110 is located and the side surface where the air inlet 103 is located are two adjacent side surfaces or opposite side surfaces. When the side surface where the dust outlet 110 is located and the side surface where the air inlet 103 is located are adjacent side surfaces, it is beneficial to gather and guide the movement of the garbage in the length direction of the dust box 1 to enable the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 to move to the dust outlet 110 under the action of the air flow. The air flow can form a turning effect in the garbage chamber 102 to achieve the suction force for driving the garbage. When the side surface where the dust outlet 110 is located and the side surface where the air inlet 103 is located are opposite side surfaces, at this time, the air inlet 103 and the dust outlet 110 will form a directly opposite or relatively spaced relative passage effect. The air flow will form a straight-through or slightly turning and then straight-through effect, and the driving force for sucking the garbage will be relatively weak, but it does not affect the sucking and driving effect on most of the garbage. This solution can be set and selected according to needs, as long as it is beneficial for the air flow to enter the garbage chamber 102 from the air inlet 103, then drive the garbage to move together and be discharged through the dust outlet 110.
[0065] In order to enable the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 to gather and quickly move to the position of the dust outlet 110 under the action of the air flow, in this solution, a dust guiding part 111 is arranged in the garbage chamber 102. The dust guiding part 111 is arranged to be inclined in a slope or arc shape from the side far away from the dust outlet 110 towards the side close to the dust outlet 110. The dust guiding part 111 can realize the movement guiding of the garbage located on it, guide the garbage to move, and under the guiding of the slope or arc surface structure of the guiding part, the garbage can quickly move to the position of the dust outlet 110 under the action of the air flow, reducing the problem that the garbage remains in the corner positions of the garbage chamber 102 and cannot be timely sucked and moved by the air flow.
[0066] The cleaning robot system of this solution includes the cleaning robot 2 of the above-mentioned dust box 1 and the integration station 3. The integration station 3 is set to be an independent structure relative to the cleaning robot 2. The integration station 3 is used for the docking of the cleaning robot 2, and the integration station 3 realizes the functions of sucking and collecting garbage and cleaning the cleaning parts 205 of the cleaning robot 2, so that the cleaning robot 2 can realize autonomous long-term vacuum cleaning and mopping cleaning without human participation. The user only needs to regularly process the integration station 3.
[0067] Regarding the vacuum cleaning function of the cleaning robot 2, a first air flow generator 201 is provided inside the cleaning robot 2. The first air flow generator 201 is located on one side of the dust box 1. When the dust box 1 is installed in place, the first air flow generator 201 is docked with the air flow outlet 104. When the first air flow generator 201 operates, air flows in through the dust suction port 206 and enters the garbage chamber 102 through the air flow inlet 103, and then enters the filter 105 through the first air flow channel 1061 for filtration. Then, it rises and returns to the first air flow generator 201 through the air flow outlet 104 and is then discharged outside the cleaning robot 2. A dust discharge port 202 is provided on the cleaning robot 2. The dust discharge port 202 and the dust outlet 110 are arranged in a communicating structure for the passage of the garbage in the garbage chamber 102. The dust discharge port 202 is arranged in a structure that can be opened and closed. The dust discharge port 202 can suck the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 into the integrated station 3, and the dust discharge port 202 is used for the concentrated passage and outward discharge of the garbage.
[0068] Wherein, a dust suction port 206 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning robot 2. The dust suction port 206 is communicated with the air flow inlet 103. The dust suction port 206 is used for the entry of air flow and the passage of garbage. Garbage on the ground can first pass through the dust suction port 206, and then the air flow and garbage enter through the air flow inlet 103 and enter the garbage chamber 102, realizing the process of sucking the garbage.
[0069] For the cleaning robot 2 to suck garbage, when the first air flow generator 201 operates, the garbage chamber 102 is communicated with the filter 105 through the first air flow channel 1061. Under the action of the air flow generated by the first air flow generator 201, the air flow enters through the dust suction port 206 and enters the air flow inlet 103 and then enters the garbage chamber 102, and then enters the first air flow channel 1061 upward while pushing the valve member 108 to rotate in the direction towards the filter 105, so that the valve member 108 opens the first air flow channel 1061. The whole process realizes the operation of the first air flow generator 201 to suck the garbage on the ground by the cleaning robot 2 for collection.
[0070] The first air flow generator 201 is set as a blower that generates the suction force of the air flow. The blower operates to generate the suction force of the air flow to suck the garbage on the ground into the garbage chamber 102 in the dust box 1 for collection.
[0071] This solution can install the dust box 1 in the middle or rear position of the cleaning robot 2. At the same time, in order to facilitate the discharge of the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 through the dust discharge port 202, a dust discharge channel 203 is provided in the cleaning robot 2. The dust discharge channel 203 is respectively connected to the dust outlet 110 and the dust discharge port 202 for the passage of the garbage in the garbage chamber 102. The connection between the garbage chamber 102 and the dust discharge port 202 is realized through the dust discharge channel 203. The dust discharge channel 203 not only achieves the bridging effect but also realizes the centralized collection effect of the garbage. Since the space of the garbage chamber 102 in the dust box 1 is relatively large, it is not conducive to the centralized entry of the garbage into the integration station 3 for collection if directly docking with the integration station 3 to suck. By setting the dust discharge channel 203, the pre-centralized collection effect of the garbage is realized. It is more conducive to the centralized entry of the garbage into the integration station 3 for collection after the garbage is pre-sucked into the dust discharge channel 203 for centralized aggregation, achieving the effect of centralized docking and collection.
[0072] Regarding the opening and closing effect of the dust discharge port 202, a valve cover 204 for opening and closing the dust discharge port 202 is mainly provided on the dust discharge port 202. The valve cover 204 is set as a soft deformable structure or the valve cover 204 is set as a rotatable structure; the valve cover 204 can be made of soft silicone material. The silicone part directly covers the dust discharge port 202. When sucking under the action of air flow, the silicone part deforms and one end leaves the dust discharge port 202 to realize the opening effect of the dust discharge port 202. When the silicone part is not affected by the air flow, the silicone part returns to its original state under its own deformation to realize the closing effect of the dust discharge port 202; a valve cover 204 can also be provided on the dust discharge port 202. The valve cover 204 is rotatably installed on the dust discharge port 202. When the valve cover 204 sucks under the action of air flow, the valve cover 204 rotates to open the dust discharge port 202. When the valve cover 204 is not affected by the air flow, it realizes the reset of the valve cover 204 under the action of gravity or the elastic part to realize the closing effect of the dust discharge port 202; the valve cover 204 is mainly rotatably installed on the dust discharge port 202, and a snap ring or a spring is also installed on the valve cover 204 to realize the reset effect of the valve cover 204.
[0073] Regarding the mopping and cleaning function of the cleaning robot 2, a cleaning part 205 for mopping and cleaning is provided on the cleaning robot 2, and the mopping and cleaning function of the ground is realized through the cleaning part 205.
[0074] In this solution, the cleaning part 205 on the cleaning robot 2 can be set as a moving structure. For example, the cleaning part 205 is set as a structure that rotates horizontally in contact with the ground, or the cleaning part 205 is set as a structure that rotates and rolls relative to the ground.
[0075] One way of moving the cleaning part 205 in this solution can be set as a structure that can rotate horizontally in contact with the ground for mopping cleaning. When the cleaning part 205 contacts the ground, the contacting part forms a planar structure. The cleaning part 205 includes a first rotating part and a second rotating part. The first rotating part and the second rotating part are respectively located on both sides of the rear side or the front side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2, and the horizontal rotation directions of the first rotating part and the second rotating part are opposite to perform mopping cleaning on the ground.
[0076] Among them, the first rotating part and the second rotating part can be respectively located on both sides of the front side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 to ensure a large single cleaning area and sufficient friction with the ground, and gather the garbage towards the dust suction port 206, so as to achieve a better mopping cleaning effect; the first rotating part and the second rotating part can also be located on both sides of the rear side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 to achieve an enlarged mopping cleaning area coverage effect.
[0077] In order to achieve a better mopping effect, when the first rotating part and the second rotating part are respectively located on both sides of the front side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2; corresponding first rotating part and second rotating part are set to achieve left and right mopping cleaning of the ground, which can drive and guide the garbage on the ground to gather backward towards the dust suction port 206. The horizontal rotation directions of the first rotating part and the second rotating part are mainly set to be opposite, and are set to rotate horizontally along the outer side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 towards the inner side and along the front side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 towards the rear side. The opposite horizontal rotation directions of the first rotating part and the second rotating part can achieve the cancellation of the rotational forces generated by the two, avoiding the influence on the normal walking of the cleaning robot 2 due to the resistance brought by horizontal rotation; by setting the first rotating part and the second rotating part to rotate horizontally along the front side of the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 towards the rear side, both the first rotating part and the second rotating part can drive the garbage on the ground to gather from front to back near the position area of the dust suction port 206, achieving the effect of centralized gathering and suction of the garbage, and at the same time achieving the mutual cancellation of the rotational forces.
[0078] Another way of moving the cleaning part 205 in this solution can be set as a structure that can rotate and roll relative to the ground for mopping cleaning. When the cleaning part 205 contacts the ground, the contacting part forms a planar structure. The cleaning part 205 includes at least a rotating mopping part, and the number of the rotating mopping parts is one or more. The rotating mopping parts roll on the ground for mopping cleaning, or when the number of the rotating mopping parts is two, the rotating mopping parts include a first rotating mopping part and a second rotating mopping part, and the first rotating mopping part and the second rotating mopping part are arranged in a parallel distribution structure.
[0079] Among them, the first rotary mopping member and the second rotary mopping member can be set as cylindrical structures and are set to include at least a soft deformable structure; the first rotary mopping member and the second rotary mopping member are arranged in parallel and side by side, and both the first rotary mopping member and the second rotary mopping member are in contact with the ground and form a planar structure. The rotation and rolling directions of the first rotary mopping member and the second rotary mopping member are opposite, and the acting forces on the cleaning robot 2 cancel each other out, ensuring that the first rotary mopping member or the second rotary mopping member will not affect the normal walking of the cleaning robot 2 and ensuring the stability of the walking route. If only the first rotary mopping member or the second rotary mopping member is set, although the effect of rotary mopping the ground can also be achieved at this time, there will be a problem of affecting the normal walking of the cleaning robot 2. At the same time, at least an interfering structure is set between the first rotary mopping member and the second rotary mopping member so that the particulate garbage on them is scraped off by mutual interference onto the ground, which is beneficial to improving its ability to adsorb dirt and garbage, prolonging the cleaning time of mopping and achieving a better mopping effect.
[0080] In order to achieve a better mopping effect, the rotation and rolling direction of the first rotary mopping member is to rotate and roll from the front side to the rear side of the cleaning robot 2 and is opposite to the forward direction of the cleaning robot 2. At this time, the first rotary mopping member can push the larger garbage on the ground to the position of the dust suction port 206 during the rotation and rolling process and form an effect of throwing the larger garbage forward. The larger garbage can be timely sucked into the garbage chamber 102 by the dust suction port 206. The rotation and rolling direction of the second rotary mopping member is to rotate and roll from the rear side to the front side of the cleaning robot 2 and is the same as the forward direction of the cleaning robot 2. At this time, the second rotary mopping member scrapes and cuts the garbage on the ground backward, and combines with the first rotary mopping member to perform pre-cleaning and deep cleaning of the ground garbage, achieving a better mopping and cleaning effect.
[0081] For the integrated station 3 of this solution, a dust collection port 302, a sewage collection tank 303, and a second air flow generator 301 are provided on the integrated station 3. The position of the dust collection port 302 is set to correspond to the position of the dust discharge port 202. The dust collection port 302 is communicated with the sewage collection tank 303, and the second air flow generator 301 is connected to the sewage collection tank 303. The sewage collection tank 303 is at least used to collect and hold garbage. The dust collection port 302 is used to dock with the dust discharge port 202 to realize the passage of garbage. The second air flow generator 301 is used to generate a suction force of air flow into the sewage collection tank 303, and the garbage is sucked through the suction force of the air flow through the docking of the dust discharge port 202 and the dust collection port 302 into the sewage collection tank 303 for collection.
[0082] Regarding the second air flow generator 301, the second air flow generator 301 is set as a high-power large-suction fan, and the power of the second air flow generator 301 is set to 600W - 1200W. By the operation of the large-suction fan, a large suction force of the air flow can be generated, and only under the action of the large suction force of the air flow can the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 be sucked into the sewage collection box 303.
[0083] In this solution, when the second air flow generator 301 operates, the first air flow channel 1061 is closed by the valve member 108, and the second air flow channel 107 is connected to the sewage collection box 303 through the garbage chamber 102, the dust discharge port 202, and the dust collection port 302, so that the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 and / or the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105 is sucked into the sewage collection box 303 for collection and storage; specifically, when the cleaning robot 2 docks on the integrated station 3, the second air flow generator 301 can be started to operate at this time to clean the garbage chamber 102, and at the same time, the filter 105 can also be cleaned. When the second air flow generator 301 starts to operate, the air flow enters from the dust suction port 206 and passes through the air flow inlet 103 and the filter 105. The large air flow entering can suck the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 into the sewage collection box 303. At the same time, the air flow entering from the filter 105 can achieve the cleaning effect on the filter 105; specifically for the channel structure, due to the operation of the second air flow generator 301, the air flow acting force on the valve member 108 is a downward suction force. At this time, the valve member 108 will tightly press on the air flow member 106 to close the first air flow channel 1061, and the air flow does not pass through the first air flow channel 1061. The air flow entering from the filter 105 can only pass through the second air flow channel 107 and then enter the garbage chamber 102. The second air flow channel 107 realizes the agglomeration effect of the air flow to achieve the centralized cleaning of the filter 105. If the opening and closing structure of the first air flow channel 1061 is not set, due to the large space of the garbage chamber 102 and the inability of the air flow to gather, the cleaning effect on the filter 105 is poor, and the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105 cannot be sucked off and separated with the air flow. Therefore, through the second air flow channel 107, a better suction cleaning effect on the filter 105 can be achieved.
[0084] For the part of the integrated station 3 for dust collection docking, the particulate matter on the filter 105 and the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 are under the action of the suction force of the air flow, pass through the dust discharge port 202, dock and pass through the dust collection port 302, and then enter the sewage collection box 303 to complete the collection.
[0085] To better achieve the effect of sucking and cleaning the filter 105, a blocking part 307 corresponding to the position of the dust suction port 206 is provided on the integration station 3 in this solution. When the cleaning robot 2 docks on the integration station 3, the blocking part 307 achieves the effect of blocking and sealing the dust suction port 206, realizing the contact seal between the dust suction port 206 and the blocking part 307. At this time, the external air flow cannot enter through the dust suction port 206. At the same time, a first valve 308 is provided on one side of the blocking part 307. The first valve 308 is set to an openable and closable structure, and the intake or non-intake effect of the first valve 308 is realized through the opening and closing effect of the first valve 308; when the first valve 308 intakes air, at this time the air flow enters the dust suction port 206 through the first valve 308 and enters the garbage chamber 102. When the first valve 308 is closed, at this time the dust suction port 206 cannot intake air flow. When the second air flow generator 301 works to at least suck the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105, the first valve 308 is closed so that the air flow can only enter the garbage chamber 102 through the filter 105, realizing the effect of independently cleaning the filter 105 by allowing the air flow to enter only from the filter 105.
[0086] Optionally, the first valve 308 is set as an air valve or an electromagnetic valve to achieve the opening and closing effect of the air flow. When air intake is required, the first valve 308 is opened to allow a large amount of air flow in the garbage chamber 102 to enter. When the first valve 308 is closed, at this time the air flow can only enter from the filter 105, and the dust suction port 206 cannot intake air flow, thereby realizing the effect of sucking and cleaning the filter 105 alone when the second air flow generator 301 works.
[0087] In this solution, the first valve 308 is set to adjust the air flow rate in the waste chamber 102. Because when a large amount of waste in the waste chamber 102 needs to be sucked and collected, if only the air enters through the filter 105 and no air enters through the dust suction port 206, there will be too little and too small air flow rate to drive the movement of the waste by the air flow to enter the sewage collection tank 303 for collection. Only when a large amount of air enters through the dust suction port 206 can there be enough air flow rate to drive the waste in the waste chamber 102 to move, so as to realize the collection of waste. Of course, when this solution is used to separately suck and clean the filter 105, the first valve 308 is closed at this time, that is, the air flow entering through the dust suction port 206 is closed. At this time, since only the air enters at the position of the filter 105, the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105 can be effectively sucked and separated. Since the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105 is all small dust particles, at this time, the small and concentrated air intake on the filter 105 can realize the cleaning of the filter 105, and there will be no problem that the particulate matter cannot be sucked and collected, because the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105 can be sucked into the waste chamber 102 or sucked into the sewage collection tank 303, and finally can be collected into the sewage collection tank 303.
[0088] For the part where the integrated station 3 supplies clean water to the cleaning and cleaning part 205, a clean water tank 304 and a cleaning area 305 are mainly arranged on the integrated station 3. When the cleaning robot 2 docks on the integrated station 3, the cleaning part 205 is located in the cleaning area 305. A first power mechanism 306 is arranged between the clean water tank 304 and the cleaning area 305 to supply the clean water in the clean water tank 304 to the cleaning area 305 for cleaning the cleaning part 205 and forming sewage in the cleaning area 305. Thus, clean water is supplied to the cleaning part 205 for cleaning.
[0089] Optionally, the first power mechanism 306 is set as a water pump or an electromagnetic pump. The first power mechanism 306 provides power for the clean water in the clean water tank 304 so that the clean water is supplied to the cleaning area 305, so as to realize the rotary cleaning of the cleaning part 205 in the cleaning area 305.
[0090] The cleaning area 305 is connected to the sewage collection tank 303. When the second air flow generator 301 operates, the sewage in the cleaning area 305 is sucked into the sewage collection tank 303 under the suction of the air flow for collection and storage. Mainly, when the cleaning part finishes cleaning in the cleaning area 305, the cleaning area 305 is filled with sewage, which includes dirt and garbage. Mainly, the dirt and garbage adsorbed by the cleaning part 205 on the ground are separated into the clean water to form sewage. The second air flow generator 301 is used to suck the sewage in the cleaning area 305 into the sewage collection tank 303 for collection. Because the large suction air flow of the second air flow generator 301 can suck the large-volume garbage in the sewage into the sewage tank for collection, ordinary water pumps cannot suck garbage and are prone to blockage. Moreover, due to the lack of air flow suction, the water pump only sucks sewage and some smaller particles, and the larger garbage remains in the cleaning area 305 and cannot be cleaned. This solution uses the second air flow generator 301 to achieve centralized suction and treatment of sewage and garbage, with good cleaning effect.
[0091] For the cleaning of the cleaning part 205, when the cleaning robot 2 docks on the integration station 3, then the first power mechanism 306 is started to supply clean water to the cleaning area 305. After the first power mechanism 306 operates for a certain period of time, at this time, the control module in the cleaning robot 2 controls the cleaning part 205 to rotate for cleaning, thereby completing the cleaning process of the cleaning part 205 in the cleaning area 305. By using the self-movement of the cleaning part 205 to achieve the cleaning of the cleaning part 205. After cleaning, the second air flow generator 301 is started to operate to suck the sewage into the sewage collection tank 303 for collection and storage.
[0092] This solution sets up the sewage collection tank 303, which not only realizes the collection and storage of garbage, but also collects the sewage into the sewage collection tank 303. The garbage and sewage are mixed in the sewage collection tank 303 to achieve the mixing and filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage, so that the air flow generated by the second air flow generator 301 can be discharged outside the integration station 3 without filtration and will not pollute the indoor air environment, effectively solving the problem of dust emission from the sewage collection tank 303. At the same time, it can solve the problem of the need for filtration between the sewage collection tank 303 and the second air flow generator 301, realizing the problem that there is no need to set up a disposable dust bag or a multi-step hierarchical filtration system between the sewage collection tank 303 and the second air flow generator 301, and the mixing and filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage is good, which can fully mix the particles that are prone to dust emission and easily adsorbed on the filter 105 in the sewage.
[0093] In order to effectively improve the effect of mixing and filtering sewage and garbage in the sewage collection tank 303, a sewage collection channel 3031 is provided on the sewage collection tank 303 in this solution. The sewage collection channel 3031 is at least communicated with the dust collection port 302. The sewage collection channel 3031 is arranged to face the bottom and / or side of the sewage collection tank 303, and the end of the sewage collection channel 3031 is located below the water surface of the sewage in the sewage collection tank 303. When the second air flow generator 301 works, at least the garbage in the garbage chamber 102 is made to enter the sewage collection tank 303 to be mixed with the sewage in the sewage collection tank 303; the sewage collection channel 3031 is used to guide the garbage to enter the sewage collection tank 303 centrally, preventing the garbage from being scattered in the sewage collection tank 303 and resulting in failure to be mixed with the sewage in time; one end of the sewage collection channel 3031 is communicated with the internal space of the sewage collection tank 303, and the other end is communicated with the dust collection port 302 through a pipeline, so that the garbage enters the sewage collection channel 3031 through the dust collection port 302 and then enters the sewage in the sewage collection tank 303 in time for mixing, realizing the mixing and filtering effect of the sewage on the garbage.
[0094] To filter the garbage against the sewage in the sewage collection tank 303, a water level detection module in the sewage collection tank 303 can be set to detect the sewage water level in the sewage collection tank 303. When there is no sewage or the sewage water level is insufficient in the sewage collection tank 303, at this time, the integrated station 3 first executes the functions of cleaning the cleaning part 205 of the cleaning robot 2 and sucking the sewage until the sewage in the sewage collection tank 303 meets the water level requirement, and then the function of docking and sucking the garbage for collection of the integrated station 3 can be started. The working process of the integrated station 3 can be specifically set, but the structure part of the integrated station 3 in this solution does not affect the mixing and filtering effect of the sewage and the garbage.
[0095] The solution of mixing and filtering the sewage and the garbage in this solution replaces the disposable dust collection cloth bag or multiple filtering systems on the existing base station. The overall structure is simple, and the later maintenance cost is low. There is no need to set up the filtering system or the disposable dust collection cloth bag configured by the existing base station, and there is no problem that the consumables of the filtering system or the cloth bag need to be replaced regularly. The maintenance cost is extremely low, and it is convenient for users to use.
[0096] Working principle: This solution mainly includes a dust box 1, a cleaning robot 2 including the dust box 1, and a system formed by the cleaning robot 2 and an integration station 3. The dust box 1 is used to be installed in the cleaning robot 2 to enable the cleaning robot 2 to suck up floor garbage into the dust box 1. By setting a first air flow channel 1061 in the dust box 1, when the first air flow generator 201 works, it can suck up floor garbage. By setting a second air flow channel 107 in the dust box 1, when the second air flow generator 301 in the integration station 3 works, it can independently and centrally clean the filter 105 in the cleaning robot 2, mainly cleaning the particulate matter adsorbed on the filter 105, achieving the maintenance and cleaning effect of the filter 105, and reducing the occurrence of the blockage problem of the filter 105 under long-term use; the integration station 3 realizes the centralized collection effect of the garbage in the cleaning robot 2. The user can regularly empty the sewage collection box 303, and there is no need to frequently empty and clean the dust box 1. At the same time, the integration station 3 realizes the supply of clean water for cleaning the cleaning part 205 and sucking and collecting the sewage after cleaning the cleaning part 205 into the sewage tank, and realizes the mixed collection during the collection of garbage and sewage, achieving the filtering and mixing effect of sewage on garbage, so that there is no need to set a disposable dust collection cloth bag or a multi-layer filtration system between the second air flow generator 301 and the sewage collection box 303, realizing low maintenance cost and good experience effect of the integration station 3.
