Sweeping robots have become an indispensable part of smart homes. Sweeping robots do not require human control during the entire cleaning process, which reduces the burden of human operation. They have the characteristics of saving time, saving labor, high work efficiency, high energy utilization, and are light and compact. However, the sweeping robots available on the market today can only clean on flat surfaces and cannot clean stairs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cleaning robot that can adapt to the width of stairs, so as to solve the problem that the existing cleaning robots can only clean within a plane and cannot climb over stairs.

[0004] The present invention includes an adaptive stair cleaning robot, whose body is divided into three parts: front, middle and rear. The middle body is the main body, the front body is a block slide cleaning device, the rear body is a telescopic scrubbing device, and the front body and the rear body are respectively connected to the middle body through two sets of lifting arms.

[0007] Preferably, the two sets of gear rack mechanisms of the rear fuselage and the two sets of slide rails attached to the upper component (1), the middle component (5) and the lower component (18) can realize the three-level lateral translation of the rear fuselage.

[0008] Preferably, the left baffle (16) and the right baffle (17) of the rear fuselage extend out of the fuselage and retract when colliding with a wall, thereby driving the long guide rod (14) to translate left and right relative to the lower component (18), and finally changing the working direction of the reversing mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, if the left baffle (16) and the right baffle (17) have not collided with the wall when the slide rail reaches its maximum travel, they will collide with multiple columns of the middle layer component (5) of the fuselage and also retract, completing the above-mentioned function of changing the working direction of the reversing mechanism.

[0010] The present invention can realize cleaning of stairs with steps, and can realize self-adaptation to the width of the stairs through a mechanical structure according to different stair width specifications, thereby reducing the number of sensors and improving work efficiency.

[0011] The front cleaning mechanism is mainly composed of a gear rack main body and a cleaning terminal mechanism. The main mechanism is mainly composed of a row of mutually meshing gear transmission groups, which are meshed with the rack (59) inserted in the slide groove of the main slide rail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the figures. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation method and a specific operation process are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify and polish it without changing the spirit and content of the present invention.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , describes the rear body of an adaptive stair cleaning robot.

[0056] The upper component (1) of the rear fuselage is a concave structure, with two cylinders (2) connected to the upper part, which is convenient for connection with the lifting arm, and a pair of primary slide rails (3) are connected to the lower side. The upper back plate is connected to a primary rack (4) at a specific position, which is convenient for meshing with the corresponding gears of the middle component (5). The middle component (5) of the rear fuselage is connected to a primary gear 1 (9) and a primary gear 2 (10). The two primary gears are connected through a pulley (7) and a belt (6), and are meshed with the primary rack (4) of the upper component (1). The middle component (5) is also connected to a secondary rack (8). The lower component (18) of the rear fuselage is connected to a plurality of cleaning cotton blocks (29) at the bottom, and is connected to a pair of secondary slide rails (11) on the side. A third rack (27) is connected, which is meshed with the primary gear 1 (9) and the primary gear 2 (10) of the middle component (5). At the same time, the secondary gear 1 (19), the secondary gear 2 (20), and the secondary gear 3 (21) are meshed with each other, and the secondary gear 3 (21) is meshed with the secondary rack (8). The reversing gear 2 (23) and the reversing gear 4 (24) are coaxial with the corresponding secondary gears. On the rotating micro-slide rail (15), the reversing gear 1 (22) and the reversing gear 4 (25) are meshed with each other, and at the same time, there is a micro-slider (26) on the rotating micro-slide rail (15) that can slide with it. The other end of the micro-slider (26) is hingedly connected to a side hole on the front of the small slide rail (28), and the other side hole on the front of the small slide rail (28) is fixed to the long guide rod (14), and the back of the small slide rail (28) is fixed to the lower component (18). In this way, the long guide rod (14), the small slide rail (28), the left baffle plate (16) and the right baffle plate (17) can be independently moved in the horizontal direction, and the movement can also drive the rotating micro slide rail (15), the reversing gear 1 (22) and the micro slider (26) to swing left and right, so as to achieve the purpose of switching the number of meshing gears of the reversing gear 1 (22). At the same time, the left side of the long guide rod (14) is connected to the left baffle plate (16), and the right side is connected to the right baffle plate (17).

[0057] When the whole mechanism moves, the DC motor (12) transmits power to the gear shaft where the reversing gear 4 (25) is located through the coupling (13), and the reversing gear 1 (22) rotates accordingly. When the reversing mechanism as a whole deflects to the left, the state of the lower component (18) is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the reversing gear 1 (22) meshes with the secondary gear 1 (19), transmitting the power to the secondary gear 3 (21) in sequence, and then to the secondary rack (8) of the middle layer component (5), so that the middle layer component (5) as a whole is horizontally shifted to the right. Then, the primary gear 1 (9) and the primary gear 2 (10) of the middle layer component (5) mesh with the tertiary rack (27) to rotate because of the horizontal right shift of the layer they are in. When one of the two primary gears is disengaged from the tertiary rack (27), the pulley (7) and the belt (6) of the middle layer component (5) will transmit the rotation of the other to the disengaged party, so as to achieve synchronous rotation of the two. The rotation of the two primary gears can drive the meshed primary rack (4) to move horizontally to the right, thereby involving the upper layer component (1) to move to the right as a whole. In this way, if the upper layer component (1) is fixed, it can be regarded as the middle layer component (5) and the lower layer component (18) are offset to the left as a whole. The entire rear fuselage completes the cleaning process to the left.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, when the left baffle (16) collides with the left wall of the stairs, the left baffle (16) and the upper reversing mechanism retract to the right, and the rotating micro slide rail (15) swings to the right as a whole, driving the reversing gear 1 (22) to move right and mesh with the secondary gear 2 (20). Since the secondary gear 2 (20) and the secondary gear 1 (19) rotate in opposite directions, the directions of all the upper mechanisms of the transmission chain are changed. If the upper component (1) is fixed, it can be regarded as the middle component (5) and the lower component (18) are offset to the right as a whole. The overall rear fuselage completes the rightward cleaning return stroke and the rightward cleaning outward stroke after passing the center line of the fuselage.

[0059] The above two steps are repeated alternately to complete the cleaning process that is adaptive to the width of the stairs.

[0060] When the rear fuselage moves to the left to the maximum extent, Figure 8 , and did not collide with the left wall. At this time, the fuselage is provided with multiple columns such as column 4 (38), column 5 (39), etc., and the corresponding left baffle also has multiple protrusions such as protrusion 4 (36), protrusion 5 (37). If the fuselage continues to move to the left, the column and the protrusion will contact, preventing the switching system from continuing to move to the left, pulling the left baffle (16) in the opposite direction, and also achieving the function of the rotating micro slide rail (15) swinging to the right as mentioned above. When the rear fuselage moves to the right to the maximum extent, as Fig.11 The situation is the same as moving to the left, except that pillars 1 (33), pillars 2 (34) and pillars 3 (35) collide with protrusions 1 (30), protrusions 2 (31) and protrusions 3 (32), and the effect is the same.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 14 to 21 , describes the rear body of an adaptive stair cleaning robot.

[0062] The main body of the cleaning mechanism is composed of a main slider, a left slider, a left end slider, a right slider, and a right end slider. The main slider includes a bottom cover (48), a top cover (42), a motor bracket (43), a central gear shaft (58), four main transmission gears (55), and four secondary transmission gears (56); the left slider is composed of a left bottom cover (8), a left top cover (2), a main transmission gear (55), and a secondary transmission gear (56); the left end slider is composed of a left end bottom cover (46), a left end top cover (40); the right slider is composed of a right bottom cover (53), a right top cover (44), a main transmission gear (55), and a secondary transmission gear (56); the right end slider is composed of a right end bottom cover (54), and a right end top cover (45). Each slider is connected by T-key plug-in, and the plug-in direction is from the front end to the rear, and multiple left sliders can be stacked between the left end slider and the main slider, and the right end is the same. After each different slider is connected, there is the same slide groove and they are interconnected after installation (see Figure 6 ) and the gears mesh with each other, paving the way for the rack transmission. The motor is placed in the motor frame (4), and the motor output shaft is directly connected to the central gear shaft (58), thereby driving all the gears and further transmitting the rack (59).

[0063] The rack (59) is connected to the cleaning end. Two baffles (49) are fixed to the lower sides of the two ends of the rack by screws. A sliding shaft (52) is inserted between the two baffles. Buffer springs are sleeved on the left and right ends of the shaft, and a sliding ring (50) is sleeved in the middle. The bottom end of the sliding ring is the vacuum cleaner head (51) (see Figure 7-8 ). When the rack is driven by the gear set, it slides in the chute and also drives the cleaning end at the bottom to move for cleaning.

[0064] Before starting work, you should first increase or decrease the sliders appropriately according to the size of the stairs, and adjust the entire slide rail to the appropriate working length. At the initial working position, the rack (59) is located in the center and meshes with the central gear shaft (58). When the motor starts to rotate, the central gear shaft (58) rotates and drives all the gears, the rack (59) starts to move, and the vacuum cleaner (51) at the end of the cleaning starts to work. When the rack (59) moves to one end in the slide rail, the rack (59) begins to squeeze the force transmission spring located in the slide groove of the end slider. A pressure sensor is attached between the end of the spring and the inner wall of the end of the slide groove. After being subjected to force, the pressure sensor generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the transmitter in the adjacent chamber to generate an infrared signal that is transmitted to the motor, causing the motor to reverse and thus achieve reversal.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 22 to Figure 29 , describes a mid-body for an adaptive stair cleaning robot.

[0066] In the mechanism, (61) is a housing, (62) is a DC motor II, (63) is a clutch push rod, (64) is a reciprocating linear motor, (65) and (66) are tooth clutches, (67) is an input shaft inner bearing cover, (68) is a drive wheel, (69) is a bearing cover, (70) is an outer planetary gear bracket, (71), (72), (73) and (74) solid spur gears together form a gear transmission group, (76) is an input shaft, (77) is an idler shaft, (78) is an output shaft output end bearing cover, (79) is a bearing washer, (80) is an output shaft, and (81) is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0067] The bearing cover and the bracket in the planetary gear mechanism are connected by screws and nuts.

[0068] Another: Fig. 27 As shown, each gear is connected to the corresponding shaft by a flat key B type for force transmission, with bearing washers, bearings and corresponding bearing caps on both sides. The structure is relatively simple and classic, so I will not elaborate on it here.

[0069] When the whole mechanism moves in a plane, the reciprocating linear motor is in the shortest state, driving (63) and (65), so that (65) and (66) are in a non-engaged state. The single-chip microcomputer controls the DC motor II (62) to transmit power to the input shaft (76) through the coupling to drive the gear shaft of the internal gear set. The torque is finally transmitted to the output shaft (80) through (71), (72), (73) and (74), driving the driving wheel (68) to rotate so as to achieve friction advancement.

[0070] When the whole mechanism is climbing the stairs, the reciprocating linear motor is in the longest state, driving (63) and (65), so that (65) and (66) are in a meshing state, and the single-chip microcomputer controls the DC motor II (62) to transmit power to the input shaft (76) through the coupling, (65) and (76) are meshed at the end, and (66) and (67) are in a meshing state. At this time, the click directly drives the entire planetary gear as a whole to realize the rotation and climbing of the planetary gear mechanism.

[0071] When the whole mechanism needs to turn, the reciprocating linear motor is in the longest state, driving (63) and (65), so that (65) and (66) are in a non-engaged state. At this time, the single-chip microcomputers in different parts control the DC motor II (62) to transmit power to the input shaft (76) through the coupling to drive the gear shaft of the internal gear set. The torque is finally transmitted to the output shaft (80) through (71), (72), (73), and (74), driving the drive wheel (68) to rotate to achieve a change in direction.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 30 to Figure 31 , a lifting mechanism for an adaptive stair cleaning robot is described.

[0073] The lifting frame rear arm 82 of the lifting mechanism is hinged together with the lifting frame front arm 84 through the pin 83, and the power input by the power input shaft 85 is transmitted to the lifting frame front arm, thereby realizing the function of lifting the front and rear actuators.
