[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the present application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit this application. Based on the embodiments provided in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 It can be seen that a spraying robot includes a main body 1, and the main body 1 includes a control module, a spraying module, a water supply module 5, a drying module and a moving module. The control module is used to control the robot to work, and can work automatically according to a set program, work according to received instructions, or work under manual control, etc., and can automatically perform tasks including but not limited to moving, spraying, drying, etc. The water supply module 5 is connected to the spraying module and is used to supply water to the spraying module. The spraying module includes a water gun head 2, a support column 3, a rotating mechanism and a lifting mechanism 9. The support column 3 includes a rotating part 4, and the rotating part 4 can rotate on the support column 3. The main body 1 is provided with 4 row gun heads 2 and 4 support columns 3. Each row gun head 2 is evenly distributed in the main body 1 and is connected to the rotating mechanism through the support column 3. One end of the water gun head 2 is movably set on the main body 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating part 4, and is connected to the water supply module 5 through the support column 3. Each water gun head 2 is connected to a rotating part 4. The water gun head 2 rotates relative to the rotating part 4 with the connection end with the rotating part 4 as a fulcrum. The number of rows of water gun heads 2 can also be set to 2 rows, 3 rows, 5 rows, etc., and the number of row gun heads 2 in each row is not limited. The support column 3 is mechanically connected to a rotating mechanism, which is connected to the main body 1 via a lifting mechanism 9. The rotating mechanism and lifting mechanism 9 operate independently or in conjunction to drive the support column 3 and rotating member 4 to move, thereby adjusting the spraying direction of the water gun head 2. The water supply module 5 includes a water pump. The main body 1 is provided with a water inlet 6. The water pump is used to connect the water inlet 6 and the support column 3. Alternatively, a water tank can be provided in the main body 1. The water pump then transfers water from the water tank to the support column 3 via the water pump, and then the water is delivered to the water gun head 2 through the support column 3. The support column 3 is provided with a conduit for the flow of water, and the rotating member 4 is also provided with a conduit for the flow of water. The support column 3 is provided with an annular water outlet, and the rotating member 4 is mounted on the annular water outlet. The conduit for the flow of water in the rotating member 4 is connected to the annular water outlet. Water can be supplied from the support column 3 to each water gun head 2 through the rotating member 4. This structure is common in rotary faucets and will not be described in detail. Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of the present application controls the water gun head 2 through a rotatable mechanism and a lifting mechanism 9, so that the water gun head 2 can spray in a full range, thereby improving the working efficiency of the robot.

[0021] In one embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a transmission rod 7 and a rotating motor 8. One end of the transmission rod 7 is connected to the support column 3, which can be fixed or movable. In the movable connection, the water gun head 2 can also be controlled to adjust its direction without the rotating member 4. The other end is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 8. When the rotating motor 8 is in operation, the rotating shaft rotates, which drives the support column 3 to move through the transmission rod 7, thereby adjusting the spray angle of the water gun head 2 in the horizontal direction. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotating motor 8 respectively controls the water gun head 2 to spray left or right. The rotating member 4 allows the water gun head 2 to adjust the spray angle in the left and right directions without requiring too much displacement. The lifting mechanism 9 is an electric push rod, which is composed of a drive motor, a reduction gear, a screw, a nut, a guide sleeve, a push rod, a slide, a spring, a housing 11, a turbine, a micro-control switch, etc. The electric push rod is an electric drive device that converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear reciprocating motion of the push rod. It can be used as an executive machine in various simple or complex process flows to achieve remote control, centralized control or automatic control. The electric push rod is set at the top of the main body 1, and the rotating mechanism is suspended in the main body 1. When the rotating mechanism is controlled to move up and down in the main body 1, it will drive the support column 3 to move up and down. At this time, the spraying angle of the water gun head 2 in the vertical direction is adjusted. When the rotating mechanism moves downward, the water gun head 2 sprays upward. When the rotating mechanism moves upward, the water gun head 2 sprays downward. The movable connection between the water gun head 2 and the rotating member 4 allows the water gun head 2 to adjust the spraying angle in the vertical direction without having to move too much. The connection 10 between the water gun head 2 and the main body 1 is a telescopic tube structure. This simple structure allows the water gun head 2 to freely adjust the spraying direction within the main body 1. The water gun head 2 can also be connected to the main body 1 by providing a circular hole in the main body 1, passing the water spray end of the water gun head 2 through the circular hole and placing it outside the main body 1. Then, a trumpet-shaped limit block is provided at the water outlet end. The maximum diameter of the limit block is slightly larger than the circular hole, so that the water gun head 2 can move within the main body 1. The water gun head 2 can also be movably mounted on the main body 1 using a circular ring buckle. The water gun head 2 can be adjusted up, down, left, and right by a simple structure such as a rotating motor 8 and an electric push rod, which is highly practical.

[0022] As one embodiment, the drying module is used to dry the environment, and the drying device is arranged at the top of the main body 1, and can also be arranged at the bottom of the main body 1. The drying device includes a shell 11, a fan 12 and a heating block 13. The shell 11 is provided with a placement cavity 14 and an air outlet cavity 15. The shell 11 is cylindrical, the air outlet cavity 15 is annular, the placement cavity 14 is cylindrical, the connection between the placement cavity 14 and the air outlet cavity 15 is arranged at the top, and the air outlet cavity 15 wraps the placement cavity 14. The fan 12 and the heating block 13 are placed horizontally in the placement cavity 14, and the heating block 13 is located above the fan 12. When working, the fan 12 located in the placement cavity 14 blows out airflow, and the airflow takes away the heat on the heating plate to form hot air. The hot air enters the air outlet cavity 15 through the connection between the placement cavity 14 and the air outlet cavity 15 located above, and then flows outside the shell 11. The side of the housing 11 is provided with an air outlet, which connects the air outlet cavity 15 with the outside. The air outlet is also equipped with several window blades 16, which are used to adjust the direction of the airflow from the drying module. The robot has independent spraying and drying functions, allowing it to dry simultaneously after rinsing or spraying, improving the user experience and work efficiency. Multiple, evenly distributed water nozzles 2 ensure a more uniform spray during operation.

[0023] In one embodiment, the mobile module is used to provide power for the robot's movement. The mobile module includes a drive motor, mobile wheels, and steering wheels, and has a relatively fast movement speed. The mobile wheels and steering wheels can also be replaced with track wheels to adapt to a wider range of terrains.

[0024] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0025] The above embodiments merely represent several embodiments of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
