[0032] In this embodiment, the walking device 3 under the chassis 1 adopts a three-wheel structure, and the front wheel 31 is a steering wheel. In some embodiments, the front wheel 31 is a steering wheel integrating steering and walking functions. The three-wheel structure has high forward accuracy, but low reverse accuracy. In this embodiment, by installing the power receiving mechanism 51 at the front of the floor scrubber, with the help of the navigation device, the high forward accuracy of the three-wheel structure is used to ensure the alignment accuracy between the power receiving mechanism 51 and the charging mechanism 100 of the service station; at the same time, the image information and distance information collected by the first image acquisition mechanism 61 and the first distance detection mechanism 62 make up for the defect of low reverse accuracy of the three-wheel structure, so as to ensure the alignment accuracy between the water receiving mechanism 41 and the water adding mechanism 200.

[0033] Specifically, the clean water supply mechanism 42 includes a clean water pipe and a nozzle. The clean water pipe connects the clean water tank 421 and the nozzle. The nozzle is located below the chassis 1 to supply clean water to the ground. The disc brush mechanism 43 includes a disc brush motor and a disc brush body arranged below the chassis 1.

That is, the power receiving mechanism 51 and the water receiving mechanism 41 are arranged alternately up and down.

[0035] Since the power receiving mechanism 51 and the water receiving mechanism 41 are arranged in an alternating manner, it is convenient to integrate the charging mechanism 100 and the water adding mechanism 200 in one service station. Compared with the method of separately arranging the power receiving mechanism 51 and the water receiving mechanism 41, the number of installation positions required by the service station can be reduced. Preferably, the power receiving mechanism 51 is arranged at the upper front end of the floor scrubber, and the water receiving mechanism 41 is arranged at the lower rear end of the floor scrubber, so that the charging mechanism 100 and the water adding mechanism 200 are arranged at the upper and lower parts of the service station respectively, thereby preventing water from the water adding mechanism 200 from leaking to the charging mechanism 100, ensuring safety.

[0036] In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 8 includes a steering motor 81 and an automatic steering transmission assembly 82. The steering motor 81 is connected to the front wheel 31 through the automatic steering transmission assembly 82. The sensing device 6 also includes a second distance detection mechanism 64 and a second image acquisition mechanism 63 installed on the front part of the vehicle body. The control device can control the walking device 3 to drive the power receiving mechanism 51 to align with the charging mechanism 100 of the service station according to the distance information collected by the second distance detection mechanism 64 and the image information collected by the second image acquisition mechanism 63. Specifically, the second distance detection mechanism 64 is an ultrasonic sensor, and the second image acquisition mechanism 63 is a binocular camera.

[0037] The floor scrubber is adjusted by the steering motor 81 and the travel drive device, and the second distance detection mechanism 64 and the second image acquisition mechanism 63 are used to precisely adjust the position of the floor scrubber, so as to further improve the precise alignment of the power receiving mechanism 51 and the charging mechanism 100.

[0038] The steering mechanism 8 also includes a steering wheel 83 and a manual steering transmission assembly 84. The steering wheel 83 is connected to the front wheel 31 through the manual steering transmission assembly 84. The steering wheel 83 is located above the shell 2, and the manual steering transmission assembly 84 is accommodated in the shell 2, so as to integrate manual driving and automatic driving into the floor scrubber, so that manual driving can take over in certain special cleaning areas or when the automatic driving fails.

[0039] Combination Figure 8 As shown, the walking device 3 also includes a front wheel frame 33, the front wheel 31 is installed at the lower part of the front wheel frame 33, a slewing bearing 85 is connected to the lower part of the chassis 1, the outer periphery of the slewing bearing 85 is provided with meshing teeth, the inner ring of the slewing bearing 85 is fixed to the lower part of the chassis 1 by screws, and the upper part of the front wheel frame 33 is fixed to the outer ring of the slewing bearing 85 by screws. During automatic steering, the steering motor 8 drives the outer ring of the slewing bearing 85 to rotate through the automatic steering transmission assembly 82. During manual steering, the steering wheel 83 drives the outer ring of the slewing bearing 85 to rotate through the manual steering assembly 84, thereby driving the front wheel 31 to steer.

[0041] In this embodiment, the power receiving mechanism 51 includes an electrode sheet 511, a position sensing component, and a charging circuit connecting the electrode sheet 511 and the battery. The control device is electrically connected to the position sensing component. When the charging mechanism 100 of the service station contacts the electrode sheet 511, the position sensing component sends a position signal to the control device to ensure smooth docking of the power receiving mechanism 51 and the charging mechanism 100.

[0042] The front part of the shell 2 is concave backward to form a power receiving docking area 21 . The power receiving docking area 21 is provided with guide slopes 22 on both sides perpendicular to the running direction of the chassis 1 . The electrode sheet 511 is arranged at the bottom of the power receiving docking area 21 .

[0043] By setting the guiding slope 22, when the scrubber approaches the charging mechanism 100, the charging mechanism 100 can slide along the guiding slope 22 to the bottom of the power receiving docking area 21, so that the docking of the two is easier, ensuring the smooth charging of the scrubber.

[0044] The in-place sensing component includes a trigger rod 512 and an in-place sensing sensor 513 electrically connected to the control device. The in-place sensing sensor 513 is a photoelectric sensor. The trigger rod 512 is arranged at the bottom of the power receiving docking area 21 and can move along the walking direction of the chassis 1, so that when the charging mechanism 100 of the service station enters the power receiving docking area 21, the trigger rod 512 is pushed to move to the outside of the in-place sensing sensor 513, so that the in-place sensing sensor 513 senses the trigger rod 512 to send an in-place signal. A return spring is provided between the trigger rod 512 and the shell 2, so that when the charging mechanism 100 is separated from the power receiving mechanism 51, the return spring drives the trigger rod 512 to reset.

[0045] In this embodiment, the water receiving mechanism 41 includes a water receiving box 411, a water inlet pipe 412 and a valve body assembly 413. The water inlet pipe 412 connects the water receiving box 411 and the clean water tank 421. A water replenishment interface 4111 is provided on the rear side wall of the water receiving box 411. The water replenishment interface 4111 extends in a direction perpendicular to the walking direction of the chassis 1, thereby increasing the fault tolerance of the water receiving mechanism 41 and the water adding mechanism 200, ensuring smooth docking of the water receiving mechanism 41 and the water adding mechanism 200. The valve body assembly 413 is installed at the water inlet of the clean water tank 421. The valve body assembly 413 can be opened unidirectionally toward the clean water tank 421 under the action of water pressure, so that during the operation of the floor scrubber, the water in the clean water tank 421 will not swing out from the water inlet.

[0046] The valve body assembly 413 includes a valve body 4131, a pressure rod 4132 and a flap 4133 that pass through the upper and lower parts. The water inlet pipe 412 is connected to the upper end of the valve body 4131. The valve body 4131 is installed in the water inlet of the clean water tank 421. The lower end face of the valve body 4131 is inclined. The flap 4133 is hinged to the side where the lower end face of the valve body 4131 is higher. The pressure rod 4132 includes a rotating part, a rod body part and a pressure block part. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the side where the lower end face of the valve body 4313 is higher. The rod body part is located on one side of the rotating part, and the pressure block part is located on the other side of the rotating part and partially wraps the rotating part. The entire pressure rod forms a lever structure, and the rod body abuts against the lower surface of the flap 4133 under the gravity of the pressure block, so as to drive the other end of the flap 4133 to flip upward to block the lower end of the valve body 4131, so as to block the lower end of the valve body 4131 when there is no water pressure in the valve body 4131, thereby ensuring that the water in the clean water tank 421 does not spill out. When water enters the valve body 4313, the gravity of the water overcomes the abutment force generated by the pressure block through the rod body, so that the flap 4133 flips downward to open, ensuring that the clean water tank 421 normally enters the water.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first image acquisition mechanism 61 and the first distance detection mechanism 62 are located above the water replenishment interface 4111 to prevent water from splashing onto the first distance detection mechanism 62 and the first image acquisition mechanism 61 during the water adding process, and at the same time, the acquisition range of the first image acquisition mechanism 61 is increased.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sewage suction mechanism 44 also includes a negative pressure component located above the sewage tank 441, the negative pressure component can generate negative pressure in the sewage tank 441, the negative pressure component is rotatably connected to the sewage tank 441, and the negative pressure component is specifically a sewage suction motor connected to the sewage tank 441. A bracket 7 spanning the negative pressure component is provided above the sewage tank 441, and a three-dimensional laser radar 71 is provided on the bracket 7. The negative pressure component includes a motor housing and a sewage suction motor installed in the motor housing, and the motor housing is rotatably connected to the sewage tank.

[0049] Connecting the three-dimensional laser radar 71 to the sewage tank 441 through the bracket 7 can avoid the vibration of the negative pressure component during operation from affecting the three-dimensional laser radar 71 and affecting the precise positioning of the floor scrubber, compared with directly installing the three-dimensional laser radar 71 on the motor housing.

[0050] The sewage suction mechanism 44 also includes a squeegee 442 and a sewage suction pipe 443. The squeegee 442 is installed at the rear of the chassis 1. The sewage suction pipe 443 connects the squeegee 442 and the sewage tank 441 so that when the sewage suction motor is working, negative pressure is generated in the sewage tank 441, and the sewage in the squeegee 442 is sucked into the sewage tank 441 through the sewage suction pipe 443.

[0051] In summary, compared with the prior art, the charging docking and water adding docking of the floor scrubber of the present invention are more accurate, the docking is more precise, the effective working time of the floor scrubber can be increased, unmanned control of the floor scrubber can be realized, and the practicality is high.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
