DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present application, a multifunctional sweeper robot corner collision shell protection device comprises a shell 1, drive wheels 2, and guide wheels 3. Two drive wheels 2 are arranged at the rear of the shell 1. The guide wheels 3 are arranged at the front middle part of the shell 1. First collision boxes 4 and second collision boxes 5 are movably arranged on both sides of the front of the shell 1. The first and second collision boxes 4 and 5 are connected to the shell 1 through springs 6. In the natural state, the first and second collision boxes 4 and 5 protrude from the side walls of the shell 1. A plurality of collision wheels 7 are rotatably arranged in the first and second collision boxes 4 and 5. The collision wheels 7 protrude from the side walls of the corresponding first or second collision boxes 4 and 5. The collision wheels 7 can reduce friction when the sweeper robot turns after a collision, thereby avoiding scratching objects.

[0017] In the present embodiment, a friction ring 8 is rotatably arranged along the edge in the shell 1. Each collision wheel 7 is provided with a friction wheel 10. In the natural state, the friction wheel 10 has a certain spacing from the friction ring 8. When the first or second collision box 4 or 5 is subjected to a collision, the compression spring 6 causes the corresponding friction wheel 10 to fit into the friction ring 8, thereby causing the friction ring 8 to drive the friction wheel 10 to rotate, so as to enable the sweeper robot to turn in time after a collision, thereby reducing the damage caused by the collision.

[0018] In the embodiment, the inner wall of the friction ring 8 is provided with a gear ring, and the housing 1 is provided with a driving device 9 capable of driving the friction ring 8 to rotate.

[0019] In the embodiment, the corresponding collision wheel 7 of the first collision box 4 is fixedly connected with the friction wheel 10 in a concentric manner, and the corresponding collision wheel 7 of the second collision box 5 is eccentrically connected with the friction wheel 10 through a transmission gear set 11. That is to say, when the friction ring 8 continuously rotates in one direction, the rotating directions of the corresponding collision wheels 7 of the first collision box 4 and the second collision box 5 driven by the friction ring 8 are opposite, and the rotating direction of the friction ring 8 makes the collision wheel 7 drive the sweeping robot to rotate in a direction opposite to the collision side.

[0020] In the embodiment, the inner side of the first collision box 4 or the second collision box 5 is respectively hingedly connected with a connecting rod 14, the other end of the connecting rod 14 is respectively hingedly connected to a push piece 13, and the push piece 13 is connected to the rotating shaft of the guide wheel 3. When the first collision box 4 or the second collision box 5 collides, the guide wheel 3 can be driven to rotate in a direction opposite to the collision side.

[0021] In the embodiment, each push piece 13 is connected with the guide wheel 3 through a ratchet steering gear 12, and the ratchet steering gear 12 can drive torque in one direction. Thus, the push piece 13 can push the guide wheel 3 to change direction, and the guide wheel 3 cannot drive the push piece 13 to change direction, so as to avoid hindering the turning function of the sweeping robot (turning is generated by the differential of the two driving wheels 2).

[0022] In the embodiment, the surface of the collision wheel 7 is sleeved with a soft rubber sleeve. Thus, the collision wheel 7 can reduce the collision or scratch of objects, and increase the friction force of the rotation of the collision wheel 7.

[0023] In specific implementation, when the sweeping robot is running, the driving device 9 drives the friction ring 8 to idle, when the first collision box 4 or the second collision box 5 collides, the corresponding spring 6 is compressed, and the friction wheel 10 is attached to the friction ring 8 to drive the corresponding collision wheel 7 to rotate in a direction opposite to the collision side, while the connecting rod 14 pushes the push piece 13 to make the guide wheel 3 rotate in a direction opposite to the collision side, so that the sweeping robot can tilt in time, reduce the collision force with the object, and protect the sweeping robot and the object.

[0024] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
