[0052] In some embodiments, the shell 10 is provided with a total switch 14, a power supply interface 15, an adjustment interface 16 and a pipe interface group 17. The total switch 14 is electrically connected with the controller. The pipe interface group 17 includes a clean water interface 170 and a sewage interface 171.
[0053] In some embodiments, the shell 10 is provided with a human-computer interface 18, which is provided on the top of the shell 10.

[0054] Optionally, the shell 10 is provided with a handle 19 on the opposite two side portions, so as to facilitate carrying the robot workstation 100.
[0055] In another embodiment of the present application, refer to Figure 2, the robot workstation 100 further comprises an automatic alignment mechanism 20, the automatic alignment mechanism 20 comprises a reflector 21, a sensed piece 23 and an alignment code 22. The reflector 21 is arranged on the lower half of the front face of the casing 10, the reflector 21 is a radar reflector 21, which is used for the radar to calculate the distance between the cleaning robot 200 and the robot workstation 100. The alignment code 22 is arranged on the lower half of the front face of the casing 10 and below the reflector 21, the alignment code 22 is a parking two-dimensional code, which is used as an indication for the cleaning robot 200 to park, and the alignment code 22 is provided with LED lights, so that the cleaning robot 200 can still park in the night or dim environment. The sensed piece 23 is arranged on the lower half of the front face of the casing 10, and the sensed piece 23 is used for sensing by the sensing piece on the cleaning robot 200. Further, the number of the sensed piece 23 is three, two of which are arranged on the opposite sides above the alignment code 22, and the other is arranged directly below the alignment code 22.
[0056] Optionally, the sensed piece 23 is a sensing magnet, and the sensing piece on the cleaning robot 200 for sensing the sensed piece 23 is a Hall. When any two of the three sensing magnets are sensed by the Hall on the cleaning robot 200, it indicates that each interface of the cleaning robot 200 is within a safe range, effectively avoiding the misalignment of the interfaces between the cleaning robot 200 and the robot workstation 100.
[0057] In another embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the robot workstation 100 further comprises a manual operation box 30, which is arranged on the top of the casing 10, and the inside of the manual operation box 30 is in communication with the inside of the casing 10. The inside of the manual operation box 30 is provided with a manual control key group 31, which is electrically connected with the controller.

[0059] Further, the manual operation box 30 is further provided with a manual charging connector 32. Thus, when the communication of the robot workstation 100 fails, the robot workstation 100 can still meet the basic needs of adding water, sewage and charging for the cleaning robot 200 with the help of manual assistance.
[0060] Further, the manual operation box 30 is provided with a box cover 33, and manual operation can be performed by opening the box cover 33.
[0061] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the robot workstation 100 further comprises a moving assembly 40 connected to the bottom of the cabinet 10, the moving assembly 40 comprising casters 41 and ground feet 42, the ground feet 42 being capable of height adjustment relative to the casters 41. When the robot workstation 100 needs to be moved, the ground feet 42 are screwed upwards so that the ground feet 42 are separated from the ground, and at this time, the robot workstation 100 can be easily moved on the ground by the casters 41, facilitating the transfer of the robot workstation 100. When the robot workstation 100 is moved to a preset position, the ground feet 42 are screwed downwards so that the ground feet 42 are in contact with the ground, which can ensure that the robot workstation 100 is stably parked at the preset position, and in addition, the levelness of the robot workstation 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the ground feet 42.
[0062] Further, the moving assembly 40 is four, and the four moving assemblies 40 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet 10.
[0063] In another embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , in order to ensure the stability of the robot workstation 100 placed against the wall, the robot workstation 100 further comprises a fixing mechanism 50 connected to the back of the cabinet 10, the fixing mechanism 50 being used for connecting with the wall surface, thereby fixing the robot workstation 100 on the wall surface.
[0064] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , the fixing mechanism 50 comprises a connecting plate 51, a latch 52 and a quick sticker 53, the quick sticker 53 being connected to the connecting plate 51, and the latch 52 being connected to the connecting plate 51 and the cabinet 10.
[0065] It should be noted that the quick sticker 53 is connected to the connecting plate 51 by screws, and the quick sticker 53 can be pasted on a ceramic tile wall surface or a latex paint wall surface. Different types of quick stickers 53 can be configured according to different wall surfaces, thereby fixing the robot workstation 100 without damaging the wall, and facilitating, fast and easy to disassemble.
[0066] Further, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7The connecting plate 51 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 510. The latch 52 comprises an adapter 520, two support columns 521, a latch 522 and a fixing column 523. The adapter 520 is connected to the back of the casing 10 by screws. The two support columns 521 are horizontally and oppositely arranged. The latch 522 is movably arranged on the adapter 520 in the vertical direction and is arranged between the two support columns 521. The fixing column 523 is arranged on the latch 522 in the horizontal direction and the two ends of the fixing column 523 are arranged on the two support columns 521 respectively.
[0067] When the robot workstation 100 needs to be fixed on the wall, the latch 522 is aligned with the waist-shaped hole 510 on the connecting plate 51 and is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 510, so as to connect the robot workstation 100 with the wall. When the robot workstation 100 needs to be moved, the latch 522 is pulled out to be separated from the waist-shaped hole 510 on the connecting plate 51, so as to move the robot workstation 100. Since the latch 522 is locked on the adapter 520 by the fixing column 523 and the support columns 521, the latch 522 remains locked after the latch 52 is pulled out.
[0068] Optionally, the number of the fixing mechanisms 50 is two. The two fixing mechanisms 50 are oppositely arranged on the back of the casing 10 in the vertical direction, so as to effectively ensure the stability of the connection between the robot workstation 100 and the wall. Further, each fixing mechanism 50 comprises two latches 52. The connecting plate 51 is provided with two waist-shaped holes 510. The two latches 52 are arranged correspondingly with the two waist-shaped holes 510 respectively.
[0069] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8The clean water adding mechanism 60 comprises a liquid delivery pipe 61, a hydraulic sensor 62, a first control valve 63, a first liquid pump 64 and a liquid injection nozzle 65. The hydraulic sensor 62, the first liquid pump 64 and the first control valve 63 are arranged on the liquid delivery pipe 61, and are arranged in sequence along the delivery direction of the clean water in the liquid delivery pipe 61. The hydraulic sensor 62, the first liquid pump 64 and the first control valve 63 are electrically connected to the controller. The hydraulic sensor 62 is used to sense the water pressure in the liquid delivery pipe 61. The first control valve 63 is used to open or close the liquid delivery pipe 61. The first liquid pump 64 is used to deliver the clean water in the liquid delivery pipe 61. The liquid injection nozzle 65 is connected to one end of the liquid delivery pipe 61, and extends out of the casing 10 through the through hole 11. The liquid injection nozzle 65 is used to be connected to the liquid filling port of the cleaning robot 200. The other end of the liquid delivery pipe 61 is used to be connected to a water source. It can be understood that the clean water output from the water source passes through the hydraulic sensor 62, the first control valve 63, the first liquid pump 64 and the liquid injection nozzle 65 in sequence, and is finally injected into the liquid storage tank of the cleaning robot 200.
[0070] Further, the liquid delivery pipe 61 comprises a clean water pipe 610 and a confluence pipe 611. Specifically, the clean water adding mechanism 60 further comprises a confluence joint 66. One end of the clean water pipe 610 and one end of the confluence pipe 611 are respectively connected to the confluence joint 66. The other end of the clean water pipe 610 is connected to a water source through the clean water interface 170. The other end of the confluence pipe 611 is connected to the liquid injection nozzle 65. The hydraulic sensor 62, the first control valve 63 and the first liquid pump 64 are arranged on the clean water pipe 610. The hydraulic sensor 62 is arranged close to the water source. The hydraulic sensor 62 can detect the water pressure output from the water source. If the hydraulic sensor 62 detects that the water pressure output from the water source is too high, the hydraulic sensor 62 is triggered and sends a trigger signal to the controller. The controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm prompt according to the trigger signal of the hydraulic sensor 62.
[0071] Optionally, the first control valve 63 is an electromagnetic valve. The confluence joint 66 is a three-way pipe.
[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 The liquid injection nozzle 65 is provided with a docking error prevention assembly 67. The docking error prevention assembly 67 is used to detect whether the liquid injection nozzle 65 is successfully docked with the liquid filling port of the cleaning robot 200.
[0073] Specifically, the docking error prevention assembly 67 comprises a plunger 670, a micro switch 671 and a homing elastic member 672. The micro switch 671 is fixedly arranged on the liquid injection nozzle 65, and the plunger 670 is movably arranged on the liquid injection nozzle 65 and can move away from or close to the liquid delivery pipe 61. The micro switch 671 is electrically connected to the controller. One end of the plunger 670 is arranged corresponding to the micro switch 671. The homing elastic member 672 elastically abuts against the plunger 670 and is used to drive the other end of the plunger 670 to extend out of the liquid injection nozzle 65 away from the liquid delivery pipe 61.
[0074] It can be understood that when it is necessary to add clean water to the cleaning robot 200, the liquid injection nozzle 65 is inserted into the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200. When the liquid injection nozzle 65 is accurately docked with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, that is, the clean water adding mechanism 60 is successfully docked with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, the plunger 670 will not displace by touching the shell of the cleaning robot 200, so that the plunger 670 will not touch the micro switch 671, and the micro switch 671 will not be triggered, and the controller controls the first control valve 63 to be opened to turn on the liquid delivery pipe 61, and the first liquid pump 64 is started. At this time, the clean water output from the water source passes through the hydraulic sensor 62, the first control valve 63, the first liquid pump 64 and the liquid injection nozzle 65 in sequence, and then is injected into the liquid storage tank of the cleaning robot 200, so as to realize the addition of clean water to the cleaning robot 200.
[0075] When the liquid injection nozzle 65 is misaligned with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, the end of the plunger 670 extending out of the liquid injection nozzle 65 touches the shell of the cleaning robot 200, so that the plunger 670 moves along the direction close to the liquid delivery pipe 61, and the end of the plunger 670 corresponding to the micro switch 671 hits the micro switch 671, the micro switch 671 is triggered and sends a trigger signal to the controller, and the controller controls the first control valve 63 to be in a closed state according to the trigger signal of the micro switch 671 to cut off the liquid delivery pipe 61. At this time, the water source cannot deliver clean water to the cleaning robot 200 through the liquid delivery pipe 61, that is, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 cannot add clean water to the cleaning robot 200. This effectively prevents the addition of clean water in the case that the liquid injection nozzle 65 is not well docked with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, and the phenomenon of clean water overflow is avoided, which is beneficial to reduce the waste of water resources and the phenomenon of short circuit of the charging circuit, and is beneficial to improve the safety.
[0076] When the liquid injection nozzle 65 is misaligned with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, the liquid injection nozzle 65 needs to be pulled out and inserted into the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200 again until the liquid injection nozzle 65 is successfully connected with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200. During the movement of the ejector pin 670 in the direction of approaching the liquid delivery pipe 61, the ejector pin 670 acts on the returning elastic member 672 to make the returning elastic member 672 elastically deform. After the liquid injection nozzle 65 is pulled out of the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, the returning elastic member 672 rebounds to drive the ejector pin 670 in the direction of moving away from the liquid delivery pipe 61, so that one end of the ejector pin 670 is separated from the micro switch 671, the other end of the ejector pin 670 extends out of the liquid injection nozzle 65, and the other end of the ejector pin 670 is kept in the state of extending out of the liquid injection nozzle 65 for the next triggering operation.
[0077] In some embodiments, the connection error prevention assembly 67 further comprises a sleeve 673 and a guide 674. The sleeve 673 is sleeved on the liquid injection nozzle 65, the guide 674 is arranged on the outside of the sleeve 673, the micro switch 671 is arranged on one end of the sleeve 673 and close to the liquid delivery pipe 61, the ejector pin 670 is movably arranged on the guide 674, the ejector pin 670 is provided with a blocking piece 675, and the two ends of the returning elastic member 672 are respectively in abutment with the blocking piece 675 and the guide 674. Therefore, when the liquid injection nozzle 65 is misaligned with the liquid filling port on the cleaning robot 200, one end of the ejector pin 670 is in contact with the shell of the cleaning robot 200, so as to drive the ejector pin 670 to move along the axial direction of the liquid injection nozzle 65 relative to the guide 674, and the other end of the ejector pin 670 is in contact with the micro switch 671 to trigger the micro switch 671. At the same time, the blocking piece 675 presses the returning elastic member 672 towards the guide 674 to compress the returning elastic member 672.
[0078] Further, the connection error prevention assembly 67 further comprises a protective cover 676 and an outer tube. The protective cover 676 covers the guide 674 and the returning elastic member 672. The outer tube is sleeved on the protective cover 676 and the one end of the sleeve 673 close to the micro switch 671, and one end of the outer tube is connected with the shell 10 and the other end is clamped with the sleeve 673. The micro switch 671 is arranged in the outer tube. The guide 674, the returning elastic member 672 and the micro switch 671 are covered by the protective cover 676 and the outer tube, which effectively avoids the damage of the guide 674, the returning elastic member 672 and the micro switch 671 by the external environment.
[0079] Optionally, the returning elastic member 672 is a spiral spring and movably sleeved on the ejector pin 670.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8The cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 comprises a cleaning agent storage tank 71, a cleaning agent pipe 72, a second control valve 73 and a second liquid pump 74. The cleaning agent storage tank 71 is used for storing cleaning agent. Two ends of the cleaning agent pipe 72 are connected to the cleaning agent storage tank 71 and the infusion pipe 61 respectively. The second control valve 73 and the second liquid pump 74 are arranged on the cleaning agent pipe 72, and the second liquid pump 74 is arranged between the second control valve 73 and the cleaning agent storage tank 71. The second control valve 73 and the second liquid pump 74 are electrically connected to the controller. The second control valve 73 is used for opening or closing the cleaning agent pipe 72, and the second liquid pump 74 is used for pumping the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 into the cleaning agent pipe 72.
[0081] Further, one end of the cleaning agent pipe 72 is connected to the junction 66, so that the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 flows to the junction pipe 611 through the cleaning agent pipe 72, and then is injected into the storage tank of the cleaning robot 200 through the infusion nozzle 65.
[0082] Specifically, during the adding of clean water, when the controller receives an instruction of adding cleaning agent, the controller controls the second control valve 73 to be in an open state, and starts the second liquid pump 74. The second liquid pump 74 pumps the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 into the cleaning agent pipe 72, and makes the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent pipe 72 flow through the second liquid pump 74, the second control valve 73, the junction 66, the junction pipe 611 and the infusion nozzle 65 in sequence, and finally is injected into the storage tank of the cleaning robot 200 through the infusion nozzle 65. That is, the cleaning agent is added into the storage tank of the cleaning robot 200 together with the clean water, so that the cleaning agent can be fully mixed with the clean water in the storage tank of the cleaning robot 200, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning ability of the cleaning robot 200 on the ground.
[0083] Optionally, the second control valve 73 is an electromagnetic valve.
[0084] In some embodiments, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 further comprises a cleaning agent liquid level sensor arranged in the cleaning agent storage tank 71, which is used for detecting the liquid level in the cleaning agent storage tank 71. Specifically, when the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 gradually decreases to a preset liquid level, the cleaning agent liquid level sensor in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 will be triggered. According to the trigger signal of the cleaning agent liquid level sensor, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm prompt to remind the user to supplement the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71. At the same time, the controller controls the clean water adding mechanism 60 to pause the clean water adding work, so as to effectively avoid the problem that the cleaning agent is not added when the clean water is added to the cleaning robot 200. When the cleaning agent storage tank 71 is full of cleaning agent, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 continues the cleaning agent adding work to the cleaning robot 200, and the clean water adding mechanism 60 continues the clean water adding work to the cleaning robot 200.
[0085] Further, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 further comprises a liquid supplement pipe 75, one end of the liquid supplement pipe 75 is connected to the cleaning agent storage tank 71 and communicates with the cleaning agent storage tank 71, and the other end of the liquid supplement pipe 75 is connected with a funnel 76. Thus, when it is needed to supplement cleaning agent to the cleaning agent storage tank 71, the user injects cleaning agent into the funnel 76, and the cleaning agent in the funnel 76 flows into the cleaning agent storage tank 71 through the liquid supplement pipe 75. By arranging the funnel 76, it is convenient for the user to inject cleaning agent into the liquid supplement pipe 75. Optionally, the funnel 76 is arranged in the manual operation box 30, which is convenient for the user to operate.
[0086] It should be noted that, during the process of supplementing cleaning agent to the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70, when the cleaning agent stays in the funnel 76 and does not continue to flow down, it is judged that the cleaning agent storage tank 71 is full and does not need to be supplemented with cleaning agent.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 10 , the pollution discharging mechanism 80 comprises a pollution receiving tank 81 and a pushing member 82, the pollution receiving tank 81 is arranged corresponding to the inlet and outlet 12, and the pollution receiving tank 81 is provided with a pollution receiving opening 810, and the pollution receiving tank 81 receives the pollution liquid discharged by the cleaning robot 200 through the pollution receiving opening 810. The pushing member 82 is connected to the pollution receiving tank 81 and is electrically connected to the controller, and is used to drive the pollution receiving tank 81 to move in and out, so that the pollution receiving tank 81 can be extended out of the cabinet 10 or retracted into the cabinet 10 through the inlet and outlet 12, such as Figure 1 .
[0088] Optionally, the pushing member 82 is a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a lead screw motor.
[0089] Please refer to Figure 11 , the pollution receiving tank 81 is provided with a pollution discharging hole 811 and an overflow hole 812, the pollution discharging hole 811 is lower than the pollution receiving opening 810, and the overflow hole 812 is arranged between the pollution discharging hole 811 and the pollution receiving opening 810. The pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 higher than a first preset liquid level is discharged through the pollution discharging hole 811, and the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 higher than a second preset liquid level is discharged through the overflow hole 812, and the second preset liquid level is higher than the first preset liquid level.
[0090] Specifically, the pollution receiving opening 810 is arranged at the top of the pollution receiving tank 81, the pollution discharging hole 811 is arranged at the bottom of the pollution receiving tank 81, the position of the overflow hole 812 is higher than that of the pollution discharging hole 811 and lower than that of the pollution receiving opening 810, and the overflow hole 812 is arranged close to the pollution receiving opening 810.
[0091] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10The pollution discharge mechanism 80 further comprises a crushing pump 83, a first liquid level detector 84 and a second liquid level detector 85, which are electrically connected with the controller. The crushing pump 83 is connected with the pollution discharge hole 811, and is used to extract the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 and crush the sundries mixed in the pollution liquid to prevent the sundries in the pollution liquid from blocking the pollution discharge pipe 86 and the crushing pump 83. The first liquid level detector 84 is arranged in the pollution receiving tank 81, and is used to detect whether the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 reaches a first preset liquid level. The second liquid level detector 85 is arranged on the pollution receiving tank 81 and close to the overflow hole 812, and is used to detect whether the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 reaches a second preset liquid level.
[0092] Specifically, when the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 reaches the first preset liquid level, the first liquid level detector 84 is triggered, and the crushing pump 83 extracts the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 based on the trigger signal of the first liquid level detector 84. The pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 is discharged to the crushing pump 83 through the pollution discharge hole 811.
[0093] When the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 reaches the second preset liquid level, the second liquid level detector 85 is triggered, and the crushing pump 83 stops working based on the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85, that is, the crushing pump 83 stops the pollution liquid discharge and crushing work, and the liquid discharge valve on the cleaning robot 200 closes the liquid discharge hole based on the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85. The pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 higher than the second preset liquid level is discharged through the overflow hole 812 and the overflow pipe 87.
[0094] Optionally, the first liquid level detector 84 is a float type liquid level switch. The second liquid level detector 85 is a non-contact liquid level sensor.
[0095] Further, the pollution discharge mechanism 80 further comprises a pollution discharge pipe 86, an overflow pipe 87 and a one-way valve 88. One end of the pollution discharge pipe 86 is connected with the pollution discharge hole 811 of the pollution receiving tank 81, and the other end of the pollution discharge pipe 86 is connected with the crushing pump 83. The crushing pump 83 is connected with the external sewer through a pipeline. The pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 flows to the crushing pump 83 through the pollution discharge hole 811 and the pollution discharge pipe 86. The crushing pump 83 crushes the sundries in the pollution liquid and discharges the pollution liquid to the external sewer through the pipeline and the pollution liquid interface 171. One end of the overflow pipe 87 is connected with the overflow hole 812, and the other end of the overflow pipe 87 is connected with the external sewer. The crushing pump 83 is connected with the other end of the overflow pipe 87 away from the overflow hole 812 through a pipeline and a tee joint. The one-way valve 88 is arranged on the overflow pipe 87. The one-way valve 88 allows the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 to flow out through the overflow hole 812 and the overflow pipe 87, and prevents the pollution liquid in the crushing pump 83 from flowing to the pollution receiving tank 81 through the overflow pipe 87 and the overflow hole 812.
[0096] In some embodiments, the pollution discharge mechanism 80 further comprises a bracket 89 connected with the inner wall of the shell 10, and the pollution receiving tank 81 is slidingly connected with the bracket 89, and the pollution receiving tank 81 can extend and retract relative to the bracket 89.
[0097] When the pollution discharge mechanism 80 works, the following steps are included:
[0098] 1. When the pollution receiving tank of the cleaning robot 200 needs to be discharged, the cleaning robot 200 autonomously travels to a preset position and is aligned with the robot working station 100.
[0099] 2. After the cleaning robot 200 and the robot working station 100 are aligned, the controller starts the pushing piece 82 of the pollution discharge mechanism 80, the pushing piece 82 drives the pollution receiving tank 81 to extend out of the shell 10 through the inlet and outlet 12 and is inserted into the docking port 201 on the cleaning robot 200.
[0100] 3. When the pollution receiving tank 81 touches the docking sensor in the docking port 201 on the cleaning robot 200, it indicates that the pollution receiving tank 81 and the docking port 201 on the cleaning robot 200 have completed docking. At this time, the docking sensor is triggered by the touch of the pollution receiving tank 81, the cleaning robot 200 starts the liquid discharge work based on the trigger signal of the docking sensor, and the pollution liquid in the cleaning robot 200 is discharged into the pollution receiving tank 81 through the pollution receiving port 810.
[0101] 4. In the process of continuously discharging the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank into the pollution receiving tank 81, the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 gradually rises. When the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 reaches the first preset liquid level, it indicates that the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 needs to be discharged and treated. At this time, the first liquid level detector 84 is triggered and sends a trigger signal to the controller. After processing the trigger signal of the first liquid level detector 84, the controller starts the crushing and discharging work of the crushing pump 83. The crushing pump 83 draws the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81, so that the pollution liquid in the pollution receiving tank 81 flows to the crushing pump 83 through the pollution discharge hole 811 and the pollution discharge pipe 86. After the crushing pump 83 crushes the impurities mixed in the pollution liquid, the pollution liquid is discharged to the outside sewer through the pipeline.
[0102] 5、In the process of discharging the dirty liquid in the docking dirty tank 81, if the crushing pump 83 is blocked or other faults occur, so that the dirty liquid in the docking dirty tank 81 cannot be normally discharged, and at this time the docking dirty tank 81 is continuously receiving the dirty liquid discharged from the cleaning robot 200, when the dirty liquid in the docking dirty tank 81 reaches the second preset liquid level, the second liquid level detector 85 is triggered and sends a trigger signal to the controller and the cleaning robot 200. The cleaning robot 200 stops discharging the dirty liquid according to the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85. The controller stops the crushing and dirty liquid discharging work of the crushing pump 83 according to the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85, and the controller controls the alarm to send a fault signal to remind the user to maintain. After the fault is solved, the cleaning robot 200 continues to discharge the dirty liquid to the dirty liquid discharging mechanism 80 until the dirty liquid in the dirty liquid tank of the cleaning robot 200 is discharged. In addition, the dirty liquid in the docking dirty tank 81 higher than the second preset liquid level is discharged through the overflow hole 812 and the overflow pipe 87.
[0103] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the charging mechanism 90 includes a fixed frame 91, an electrode sheet 92, and a protective cover 93. The fixed frame 91 is arranged in the casing 10 and corresponds to the telescopic opening 13 on the casing 10. One end of the charging electrode sheet 92 is connected to the fixed frame 91, and the other end extends out of the casing 10 through the telescopic opening 13. The protective cover 93 is movably connected to the fixed frame 91 and movably passes through the telescopic opening 13, so as to cover the charging electrode sheet 92 or expose the charging electrode sheet 92, as shown in Figure 1 .
[0104] Specifically, the fixed frame 91 is provided with a movable opening 910, which corresponds to the telescopic opening 13 and is in communication with the telescopic opening 13. The protective cover 93 movably passes through the telescopic opening 13 and the movable opening 910, so as to be retracted into the fixed frame 91 through the telescopic opening 13 and the movable opening 910 or to extend out of the casing 10 through the movable opening 910 and the telescopic opening.
[0105] In some embodiments, the fixed frame 91 is provided with a ring of sealing hairs 911 corresponding to the periphery of the movable opening 910. The sealing hairs 911 are in close contact with the outer wall of the protective cover 93. During the telescopic movement of the protective cover 93, the sealing hairs 911 are in close contact with the protective cover 93 throughout the movement, effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering the casing 10 and further preventing dust and impurities from entering the casing 10.
[0106] It should be noted that the number of charging electrode sheets 92 is two, and the two charging electrode sheets 92 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. One of the charging electrode sheets 92 is a positive electrode, and the other is a negative electrode.
[0107] The charging mechanism 90 further comprises a mounting plate 94 and a connecting piece 95, the mounting plate 94 is arranged at the movable opening 910, the connecting piece 95 is arranged in the fixed frame 91, two ends of the connecting piece 95 are connected with the mounting plate 94 and the cover shell respectively, one end of the charging electrode 92 is connected with the mounting plate 94, and the protective cover 93 is movably sleeved on the mounting plate 94.
[0108] In some embodiments, the charging mechanism 90 further comprises a reset assembly 96, the reset assembly 96 is connected with the fixed frame 91 and the protective cover 93, and is used for driving the protective cover 93 to move towards the direction of the outside of the shell 10 through the telescopic opening 13 to cover the charging electrode 92. Specifically, the reset assembly 96 is arranged in the fixed frame 91, the reset assembly 96 comprises a guide shaft 960 and a reset elastic piece 961, the guide shaft 960 is connected with the fixed frame 91, the reset elastic piece 961 is movably sleeved on the guide shaft 960, and two ends of the reset elastic piece 961 abut against the protective cover 93 and the fixed frame 91 respectively. Optionally, the reset elastic piece 961 is a spiral spring.
[0109] In some embodiments, the charging mechanism 90 further comprises a flexible sleeve 97, the flexible sleeve 97 is connected to one end of the protective cover 93 away from the fixed frame 91, that is, the flexible sleeve 97 is arranged outside the shell 10. In the process of charging the cleaning robot 200 by the charging mechanism 90, the flexible sleeve 97 is closely attached to the cleaning robot 200, which is conducive to improving the sealing between the protective cover 93 and the cleaning robot 200, that is, the charging electrode 92 is covered by the cooperation of the protective cover 93, the flexible sleeve 97 and the cleaning robot 200, which is conducive to further improving the safety. Optionally, the flexible sleeve 97 is a soft rubber sleeve.
[0110] In another embodiment of the present application, the charging mechanism 90 further comprises a position detection assembly, the position detection assembly is used for detecting the position of the protective cover 93, the position detection assembly is electrically connected with the controller, and the controller judges the position of the protective cover 93 by acquiring the detection result of the position detection assembly, and then judges whether the charging mechanism 90 and the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 are successfully connected, that is, judges the charging connection state.
[0111] Further, the position detection assembly comprises a detection piece 98 and a detected piece 9998, one of the detection piece 98 and the detected piece 9998 is arranged on the fixed frame 91, and the other of the detection piece 98 and the detected piece 9998 is arranged on the protective cover 93, and the detection piece 98 is used for sensing the signal of the detected piece 9998. Specifically, the detection piece 98 is electrically connected with the controller on the robot work station 100, the controller on the robot work station 100 judges the position of the protective cover 93 by acquiring the signal sensing result of the detection piece 98, and then judges whether the charging mechanism 90 and the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 are successfully connected.
[0112] Specific to the embodiment, the detection member 98 is a Hall sensor, and is arranged on the cover shell. The detected member 9998 is a magnet, and is arranged on the sidewall of the cover shell close to the guide shaft 960. The Hall sensor is used for sensing the magnetic field of the magnet. In the process of telescopic movement of the protective cover 93, when the Hall sensor senses the magnetic field signal of the magnet, the controller judges that the protective cover 93 has been retracted to the preset position, indicating that the charging mechanism 90 and the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 are successfully docked at this time, and charging can be performed. When the Hall sensor does not sense the magnetic field signal of the magnet, the controller judges that the protective cover 93 has been reset, indicating that the charging electrode sheet 92 of the charging mechanism 90 is separated from the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 at this time, and the charging is completed.
[0113] When the charging mechanism 90 works, the following steps are included:
[0114] 1. In the process of docking the charging electrode sheet 92 of the charging mechanism 90 and the charging port of the cleaning robot 200, the cleaning robot 200 approaches the robot working station 100 and presses the protective cover 93. The protective cover 93 is retracted along the axial direction of the guide shaft 960 under the pressing of the cleaning robot 200, that is, part of the protective cover 93 is retracted into the machine shell 10 through the telescopic opening 13 and the movable opening 910, so that the charging electrode sheet 92 is exposed and docked with the charging port of the cleaning robot 200. When the detection member 98 senses the signal of the detected member 9998, the controller judges that the protective cover 93 has been retracted to the preset position, indicating that the charging mechanism 90 and the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 are successfully docked. The controller controls the robot working station 100 to power the charging electrode sheet 92, and starts to charge the cleaning robot 200.
[0115] 2. In the process of retracting the protective cover 93, the protective cover 93 acts on the reset elastic member 961, so that the reset elastic member 961 is elastically deformed. The reset elastic member 961 provides a rebound force for driving the protective cover 93 to reset, so that the protective cover 93 can maintain the state of being extended, and the flexible sleeve 97 is tightly sealed with the cleaning robot 200. Therefore, the charging electrode sheet 92 is protected by the cooperation of the protective cover 93, the flexible sleeve 97 and the cleaning robot 200, and the charging electrode sheet 92 is not exposed.
[0116] 3. When the cleaning robot 200 is fully charged, the cleaning robot 200 moves away from the charging mechanism 90, so that the charging port of the cleaning robot 200 is separated from the charging electrode sheet 92 of the charging mechanism 90. The protective cover 93 is extended under the rebound action of the spring. When the detection member 98 does not sense the signal of the detected member 9998, the controller judges that the protective cover 93 has been reset, and the charging electrode sheet 92 is powered off, and the charging operation is completed.
[0117] The robot working station 100 of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0118] 1. By setting the clean water adding mechanism 60, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70, the sewage mechanism 80 and the charging mechanism 90, the clean water adding mechanism 60 is used for automatically adding clean water to the cleaning robot 200, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 is used for automatically adding cleaning agent to the cleaning robot 200, the sewage mechanism 80 is used for automatically discharging sewage to the cleaning robot 200, and the charging mechanism 90 is used for automatically charging the cleaning robot 200. The functions of adding clean water, adding cleaning agent, discharging sewage and charging are integrated, the robot workstation 100 is multifunctional, the functions are more comprehensive, the intelligent degree is high, the unmanned requirement of the cleaning robot 200 can be met, great convenience is brought to the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.
[0119] 2. By reasonably arranging the clean water adding mechanism 60, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70, the sewage mechanism 80 and the charging mechanism 90 in the shell 10, the robot workstation 100 is compact in structure and small in size, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupation of the robot workstation 100. By setting the casters 41 and the ground feet 42 at the bottom of the shell 10, the robot workstation 100 is convenient to move. By setting the fixing mechanism 50 on the back of the shell 10, the fixing mechanism 50 can quickly position the robot workstation 100 on the wall surface, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the robot workstation 100 placed against the wall, causes less damage to the wall surface, and can be quickly disassembled to facilitate the robot workstation 100 to change the site.
[0120] 3. The butt joint error prevention assembly 67 is arranged on the liquid injection nozzle 65, which is used for detecting whether the liquid injection nozzle 65 is successfully butt jointed with the liquid adding port on the cleaning robot 200, effectively preventing the phenomenon of cleaning liquid overflow caused by adding clean water under the condition that the liquid injection nozzle 65 is not butt jointed with the liquid adding port on the cleaning robot 200, reducing the waste of resources and the short circuit of the charging line, and improving the safety.
[0121] 4. By setting the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70, the cleaning agent also enters the liquid storage tank of the cleaning robot 200 with the clean water during the process that the clean water adding mechanism 60 adds clean water to the cleaning robot 200, so that the cleaning agent does not need to be manually added to the cleaning robot 200.
[0122] 5. The liquid level sensing sensor is arranged in the cleaning agent storage tank 71, which detects the liquid level in the cleaning agent storage tank 71, can judge whether the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage tank 71 is used up in real time, and effectively avoids the problem that the cleaning agent is not added when the clean water is added to the cleaning robot 200.
[0123] 6. The clean water adding mechanism 60 is equipped with a pulverizing pump 83 and a first liquid level detector 84. When the first liquid level detector 84 detects that the liquid level in the sludge receiving tank 81 has risen to the first liquid level, the pulverizing pump 83 starts, so that the sludge in the sludge receiving tank 81 flows quickly through the drain hole 811 and the drain pipe 86 and is discharged by the pulverizing pump 83. While discharging sludge, the pulverizing pump 83 also continuously pulverizes the impurities mixed in the sludge, so as to avoid clogging of the drain pipe 86 and the pulverizing pump 83.
[0124] 7. The clean water adding mechanism 60 is equipped with a second liquid level detector 85. When the sewage in the sewage receiving tank 81 rises to the second preset liquid level, the second liquid level detector 85 is triggered. The pulverizing pump 83 stops sewage discharge and pulverizing work based on the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85. The cleaning robot 200 stops sewage discharge work based on the trigger signal of the second liquid level detector 85. By opening an overflow hole 812 on the sewage receiving tank 81, the sewage in the sewage receiving tank 81 that is higher than the second preset liquid level is discharged through the overflow hole 812 and the overflow pipe 87. With the dual protection of the overflow port and the second liquid level detector 85, it is effectively ensured that the sewage discharge work of the workstation will not cause the sewage in the sewage receiving tank 81 to overflow from the sewage receiving port 810 due to sewage discharge failure.
[0125] 8. After the sewage in the sewage tank of the cleaning robot 200 is discharged, the pusher 82 of the sewage discharge mechanism 80 drives the sewage receiving box 81 to retract into the robot workstation 100 through the inlet and outlet 12, effectively preventing passers-by from throwing debris into the sewage receiving box 81.
[0126] 9. The charging mechanism 90 covers the charging electrode 92 with a protective cover 93. During the process of the charging electrode 92 connecting with the charging port of the cleaning robot 200, the protective cover 93 retracts through the movable opening 910 under the pressure of the cleaning robot 200, exposing the charging electrode 92 so that it can connect with the charging port of the cleaning robot 200. During the retraction of the protective cover 93, the protective cover 93 acts on the reset elastic element 961 to produce elastic deformation. The rebound force of the reset elastic element 961 keeps the protective cover 93 in an extended state, so that the protective cover 93 abuts against the cleaning robot 200 to cover the charging electrode 92, preventing the charging electrode 92 from being exposed. This effectively prevents users from accidentally touching the charging electrode 92 out of curiosity, thus avoiding electric shock. This improves safety and reduces safety hazards.
[0127] Please see Figure 14 and Figure 15The application also provides a cleaning system comprising the cleaning robot 200 and the robot work station 100. When the robot work station 100 and the cleaning robot 200 are docked, the clean water adding mechanism 60 can add clean water to the cleaning robot 200, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 can add cleaning agent to the cleaning robot 200, the sewage discharge mechanism 80 can discharge sewage from the cleaning robot 200, and the charging mechanism 90 can charge the cleaning robot 200.
[0128] Further, the cleaning robot 200 is provided with a docking interface 201, and a sewage discharge sensor 203 is arranged at the docking interface 201. The cleaning robot 200 is internally provided with a sewage tank and a sewage discharge pipe 202, one end of the sewage discharge pipe 202 is connected to the sewage tank, the other end extends into the docking interface 201, and a sewage discharge valve is arranged on the sewage discharge pipe 202.
[0129] When the sewage tank of the cleaning robot 200 needs to be discharged, the cleaning robot 200 autonomously travels to a preset position and is aligned with the robot work station 100. The pusher 82 drives the sewage receiving tank 81 to extend out of the housing 10 through the inlet and outlet 12 and is inserted into the docking interface 201 on the cleaning robot 200. When the sewage receiving tank 81 and the docking interface 201 are successfully docked, the sewage receiving tank 81 will touch the sewage discharge sensor 203 to trigger the sewage discharge sensor 203. The sewage discharge valve is turned on based on the trigger signal of the sewage discharge sensor 203 to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank to the sewage receiving tank 81 through the sewage discharge pipe 202. When the sewage discharge mechanism 80 and the docking interface 201 are not docked in place, the sewage discharge sensor 203 is not triggered, so the sewage discharge valve remains closed to prevent the sewage in the sewage tank from being discharged through the sewage discharge pipe 202, effectively preventing the phenomenon of sewage overflow caused by the sewage discharge operation under the condition of misalignment.
[0130] The cleaning system provided by the application comprises the cleaning robot 200 and the robot work station 100. The robot work station 100 is provided with a clean water adding mechanism 60, a cleaning agent adding mechanism 70, a sewage discharge mechanism 80, and a charging mechanism 90. The clean water adding mechanism 60 is used to automatically add clean water to the cleaning robot 200, the cleaning agent adding mechanism 70 is used to automatically add cleaning agent to the cleaning robot 200, the sewage discharge mechanism 80 is used to automatically discharge sewage from the cleaning robot 200, and the charging mechanism 90 is used to automatically charge the cleaning robot 200.
