Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pollution cleaning, in particular to a rotating cleaning structure, a circular glass rain and sewage cleaning structure and an automatic driving device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A rudder is a kind of servo motor, which is an execution component for controlling the rotation of an aircraft rudder surface in an autopilot. The rudder surface is also called a control surface. The rudder is an angular position servo driver, which is an automatic control system composed of a DC motor, a reduction gear set, a sensor and a control circuit. When a control signal is sent to the control circuit, the output shaft of the DC motor can be turned to a specific position. As long as the control signal remains unchanged, the rudder will keep the angular position of the output shaft unchanged. If the control signal changes, the position of the output shaft will also change accordingly.

[0003] Pulse width modulation (PWM) is an analog control method that modulates the bias of the transistor base or metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS for short) gate according to the change of the corresponding load to change the conduction time of the transistor or MOS, thereby realizing the change of the output of the switching power supply. The principle of a general rudder is that there is a reference circuit inside the rudder, which generates a reference signal with a period of 20ms and a high level width of 1.5ms. By comparing the PWM signal of the signal line with the reference signal, the internal motor control board obtains a voltage difference, which is added to the motor to control the rotation of the rudder. The high level range of the control rudder is 0.5ms to 2.5ms; among them, 0.5ms is the minimum angle, and 2.5ms is the maximum angle. For example, a general 180° rudder: 0.5ms corresponds to 0 degrees of rotation, 1ms corresponds to 45 degrees of rotation, 1.5ms corresponds to 90 degrees of rotation, 2ms corresponds to 135 degrees of rotation, and 2.5ms corresponds to 180 degrees of rotation. For a 360-degree rudder, the PWM signal is given, and the 360-degree rudder will rotate at a certain speed, similar to a motor, but unlike a motor, the 360-degree rudder is a closed-loop control with stable speed control. For example, 0.5ms corresponds to rotation at the maximum forward speed; 1.5ms is 0 speed and stops rotating; 2.5ms corresponds to rotation at the maximum reverse speed.

[0004] In the field of automatic driving, whether it is a small car running on the ground or a drone flying in the sky, a wiper type is usually adopted for the micro rain and dirt cleaning structure, and the specific technology is a combination of a wiper motor, a four-bar linkage and a reset structure, or a single rudder motor and a control circuit. This kind of technology needs to make certain compromises in shape and area for the cleaned element, such as glass, which is usually designed like an arch.

[0005] However, for circular glass, the maximum cleaning area can only be about 60% using the above traditional technology, and it is difficult to achieve a larger cleaning area. Moreover, the above traditional technology needs to embed the motor and other structures, which requires grooving or passing through the shaft hole of the glass to ensure the normal swing of the wiper rod, increasing the difficulty of subsequent sealing and assembly, and increasing the rotational friction of the motor output shaft, reducing the mechanical efficiency.

[0065] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , the first steering engine 105 is arranged to drive the transmission rod 104 to rotate, and the second steering engine 111 is arranged to drive the cleaning piece 102 to rotate; such design is favorable for adjusting the position of the cleaning piece 102 through cooperation of the first steering engine 105 and the second steering engine 111, that is, the rotation center of the cleaning piece 102 of the rotating cleaning structure is determined by adjusting the position of the output shaft of the second steering engine 111, that is, the center of rotation, so as to realize effective cleaning of the circular glass or the circular cleaned element. As known from the above description, for the cleaned element, when the cleaning area thereof is circular, the theoretical cleaning area can reach 100%.

[0066] In the embodiment, the first steering engine 105 is arranged to rotate the transmission rod 104 to a preset angle position in a power-on state, so that the second steering engine 111 is located at a preset cleaning position; the cleaning piece 102 is detachably mounted on the second steering engine 111, and the first hinge 103 and the second hinge 109 are arranged to adjust the inclination and distance between the cleaning piece 102 and the target to be cleaned; the control circuit board 107 is connected to the second steering engine 111, and the control circuit board 107 is arranged to process a pulse width control signal to make the second steering engine 111 rotate cyclically and drive the cleaning piece 102 to rotate cyclically. In one of the embodiments, the control circuit board 107 is also connected to the first steering engine 105, and the control circuit board 107 is arranged to define the preset angle position. In one of the embodiments, the preset angle position is the position reached after the first steering engine 105 rotates 60°. In one of the embodiments, the rotation angle of the first steering engine 105 is arranged according to the pulse width control signal. Further, in one of the embodiments, the first steering engine is also arranged to rotate the transmission rod to a reset position, i.e., to rotate the transmission rod to a predetermined position, in a power-off state or under the control of the control circuit board 107, so that the rotating cleaning structure does not block the cleaned element. Further, in one of the embodiments, the rotating cleaning structure further comprises a pulse width control signal controller connected to the control circuit board 107, and the pulse width control signal controller is arranged to output a pulse width control signal to the control circuit board 107 to control the rotation of the first steering engine 105 and / or the second steering engine 111.

Such design is beneficial to improve the versatility of the same rotating cleaning structure. In actual production, one rotating cleaning structure can be produced with multiple connecting rods with different lengths, or one rotating cleaning structure can be produced with a telescopic connecting rod, so that the same rotating cleaning structure can be applied to cleaning elements with different installation positions or different distances from the installation position. In use, the position of the output shaft of the second steering engine 111 can be aligned with the center of the circular cleaning area to ensure the coverage of the cleaning range.
