When the connecting plate 12 is flipped towards the first direction to cover at least part of the upper surface of the obstacle 2, the connecting plate 12 can be flipped towards the second direction to reset by triggering the trigger portion 12a. More specifically, the width direction of the connecting plate 12 is consistent with the extension direction of the obstacle 2, the force of the trigger portion 12a acts on the slope, and the direction of the force is also consistent with the extension direction of the obstacle 2. After the force acts on the slope, the force has multiple directional components, part of which causes the connecting plate 12 to flip towards the second direction, and the force of the trigger portion 12a can cause the connecting plate 12 to flip towards the second direction to reset.

The connecting plate 12 rotates about the side connected to the climbing plate 11, and the other side of the connecting plate 12 in the width direction is configured as a free end when the connecting plate 12 is flipped.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, the length of the side of the connecting plate 12 connected with the ramp plate 11 is greater than the length of the other side, and the two sides are connected by a bevel formed at the end of the connecting plate 12 in the width direction, the bevel in the top view is configured as an inclined surface of the connecting plate 12, in this embodiment, the inclined surface is inclined towards the center of the connecting plate 12 in the direction away from the ramp plate 11, and a component force of the force of the trigger part 12a acts on the radial direction of the connecting plate 12, so that the connecting plate 12 is flipped and rotated towards the second direction. In other embodiments, the connecting plate 12 has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the lower surface of the connecting plate 12 can cover the upper surface of the obstacle 2, the area of the upper surface of the connecting plate 12 is greater than the area of the lower surface of the connecting plate 12, the bevel connects the upper surface of the connecting plate 12 and the lower surface of the connecting plate 12, and a component force of the force of the trigger part 12a acts on the circumferential direction of the connecting plate 12, so that the connecting plate 12 is flipped and rotated towards the second direction, so that the connecting plate 12 is flipped and reset.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the angle of the inclined surface is α.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The bridge assembly 1 further comprises a driving member 13. One end of the driving member 13 is connected with the connecting plate 12, and the other end of the driving member 13 is connected with the ramp plate 11 and is adapted to drive the connecting plate 12 to flip to the side close to the ramp plate 11 after being triggered. Specifically, the driving member 13 connects the connecting plate 12 with the ramp plate 11, and the driving member 13 can drive the connecting plate 12 to flip and reset towards the second direction after the trigger part 12a of the connecting plate 12 is triggered. The driving member 13 is provided to facilitate the bridge assembly 1 to quickly switch from the connected state to the disconnected state, reducing the waiting time of the user.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The driving member 13 is configured as an elastic member. Specifically, the driving member 13 is configured as an elastic member, and the elastic member continuously applies a pulling force to the connecting plate 12 to maintain the disconnected state of the bridge assembly 1 when the bridge assembly 1 is in the disconnected state. In some embodiments, the cleaning robot 3 can climb onto the obstacle 2 through the bridge assembly 1, and when the impact force of the cleaning robot 3 acts on the connecting plate 12, the force of the cleaning robot 3 on the connecting plate 12 is greater than the force of the elastic member on the connecting plate 12, so that the connecting plate 12 is flipped and rotated towards the first direction above the obstacle 2 under the force of the cleaning robot 3.

Such a bridging assembly 1 has a more stable structure.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 The bridging assembly 1 further comprises a bridging plate 14.

The connecting plate 12 is provided with a second suction member 122 matched with the first suction member 142. Specifically, the climbing plate 11 is arranged on one side of the obstacle 2 and connects the ground with the upper surface of the obstacle 2. The connecting plate 12 can be flipped to above the obstacle 2 in the first direction to cover at least part of the upper surface of the obstacle 2. The bridging plate 14 is arranged on the other side of the obstacle 2 and connects the upper surface of the connecting plate 12 with the ground when the connecting plate 12 covers at least part of the upper surface of the obstacle 2. When the bridging assembly 1 is in the connected state, the sweeping robot 3 moves from the ground on one side of the obstacle 2 to the climbing plate 11, and then climbs onto the connecting plate 12 above the obstacle 2 along the supporting surface 11a of the climbing plate 11. Then the sweeping robot 3 moves from the bridging plate 14 to the obstacle 2, so as to complete the bridging work of the bridging assembly 1 for the sweeping robot 3 to cross the obstacle 2.

[0052] More specifically, the connecting plate 12 is matched with the first suction member 142 of the bridging plate 14 through the second suction member 122, so that the bridging assembly 1 remains in the connected state after the sweeping robot 3 passes through. The suction matching is simple and reliable, and the disconnection is easy. After the force acts on the trigger part 12a, the component force of the force is greater than the suction force between the first suction member 142 and the second suction member 122. The matching of the connecting plate 12 and the bridging plate 14 can be disconnected, so as to realize the flipping reset of the connecting plate 12 in the second direction.

Specifically, the anti-skid part on the climbing plate 11 and / or the connection plate 12 is adapted to increase the friction force received by the sweeping robot 3, to avoid the sweeping robot 3 from slipping, so as to improve the working stability of the sweeping robot 3.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the bridging assembly 1 further comprises an adjusting member 15, which is selectively movable and arranged on the climbing plate 11 and / or the connection plate 12 and / or the bridging plate 14, and the adjusting member 15 is adapted to adjust the height of the bridging assembly 1 to adapt to obstacles 2 of various sizes, so that the bridging assembly 1 has stronger versatility.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, the obstacle 2 is configured as a door sill adapted to the movement of a sliding door, and the sliding door moves in the door sill and triggers the connection plate 12 after contacting the triggering part 12a. Specifically, the obstacle 2 is a door sill, the sliding door slides in the extension direction of the door sill to realize the opening and closing of the door, the triggering part 12a is located at both ends of the connection plate 12 in the width direction, and the extension direction of the door sill is consistent with the width direction of the connection plate 12. After the sliding door is opened, the climbing plate 11 is located on one side of the door sill, and the sweeping robot 3 moves on the ground on the side of the door sill, and when the sweeping robot 3 moves to the climbing plate 11, the sweeping robot 3 can drive the connection plate 12 to flip towards the first direction by its own gravity and the impact force when moving, and the connection plate 12 is flipped from the side close to the climbing plate 11 to cover the upper surface of the obstacle 2 after being stressed, at this time the bridging assembly 1 is switched from the disconnected state to the closed state, and the sweeping robot 3 climbs onto the door sill and passes through the door sill through the bridging assembly 1; when the sliding door is closed, the sliding door contacts and triggers the triggering part 12a, so that the connection plate 12 flips towards the second direction, and the connection plate 12 is reset from the upper surface of the obstacle 2 to the side close to the climbing plate 11. The sliding door switches the bridging assembly 1 to the disconnected state in the closing process, and there is no covering on the door sill, and the sliding door can realize the opening and closing, and the user can realize the normal opening and closing of the sliding door without disassembling the bridging assembly 1, which is convenient to use and good user experience.

When the sweeping robot 3 passes through the bridging assembly 1, the sweeping robot 3 exerts a force on the connecting plate 12 to drive the connecting plate 12 to flip towards the first direction, at this time, the force exerted by the sweeping robot 3 is greater than the pulling force of the elastic member, the connecting plate 12 flips towards the direction of the threshold and overlaps the overlapping groove 14a of the overlapping plate 14, the second suction member 122 of the connecting plate 12 is in suction cooperation with the first suction member 142 in the overlapping groove 14a, at this time, the connecting plate 12 covers the upper surface of the threshold, the sweeping robot 3 can move to the overlapping plate 14 through the connecting plate 12, the force between the first suction member 142 and the second suction member 122 is greater than the pulling force of the elastic member, so that the bridging assembly 1 continuously stays in the closed state, and the sweeping robot 3 can move back and forth in the rooms on both sides of the threshold to sweep. When the sliding door is closed, the sliding door exerts a force on the trigger portion 12a, a component force of the force acts on the radial direction of the connecting plate 12, so that the connecting plate 12 flips and rotates towards the second direction, the suction force between the first suction member 142 and the second suction member 122 is less than the component force of the force, the connecting plate 12 is separated from the overlapping plate 14, and the connecting plate 12 quickly flips and resets under the action of the pulling force of the elastic member, so that the bridging assembly 1 is in the open state.

[0060] The bridging assembly 1 of the present application realizes the natural switching of the bridging assembly 1 from the closed state to the open state by arranging the connecting plate 12 with the inclined surface, without the need for the user to disassemble the bridging assembly 1 as a whole to realize the door closing action, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] In summary, the bridging assembly 1 of the present application can realize the normal opening and closing of the door without the need for the user to disassemble it as a whole, is convenient to use, arranges the end surface of the connecting plate 12 as an inclined surface, uses the force of the sliding door when the user closes the door to switch the bridging assembly 1 to the open state, the component force of the force of the door when the door is closed is greater than the suction force between the first suction member 142 and the second suction member 122, the cooperation between the connecting plate 12 and the overlapping plate 14 can be disconnected, so as to realize the flipping and resetting of the connecting plate 12, the sliding door can be normally closed, the principle is simple and reliable, the realization degree is high, and the user does not need to operate too much, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the bridging assembly 1 is further provided with the driving member 13, so as to quickly switch the bridging assembly 1 from the connected state to the open state, thereby reducing the waiting time of the user. The limiting protrusion 12b of the connecting plate 12 slides in the arc-shaped limiting groove 11b of the climbing plate 11, so as to limit the flipping range of the connecting plate 12, and avoid the connecting plate 12 from being out of the climbing plate 11, so that the bridging assembly 1 has a more stable structure.
