[0034] In order to make the purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative labor shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1The structure diagram of a stair-climbable floor cleaning robot is shown at the first step, the floor cleaning robot comprises a robot body 10 and a lifting device, the lifting device comprises a first shell 21 and a second shell 22, the upper surface of the first shell 21 is provided with a first groove 23, the upper surface of the second shell 22 is provided with a second groove 24, the first groove 23 and the second groove 24 are adjacent and communicated, two corresponding outer side portions of the first shell 21 are respectively provided with a first telescopic unit 25, the fixed end of the first telescopic unit 25 is connected with the first shell 21, the telescopic end of the first telescopic unit 25 moves vertically upward, the telescopic end is connected with the second shell 22 through a connecting piece 26; the bottom of the first shell 21 is provided with a first walking mechanism, the bottom of the second shell 22 is provided with a second walking mechanism, when the first walking mechanism and the second walking mechanism are located at the same horizontal plane, the inner bottom surface of the first groove 23 and the inner bottom surface of the second groove 24 are flush; the side wall of the first groove 23 away from the second groove 24 is communicated with the outside, the robot body 10 moves to the second groove 24 through the first groove 23, two inner side walls in the second groove 24 are respectively provided with a clamping mechanism;
[0036] When the robot body 10 is located in the second groove 24, the clamping ends of the two clamping mechanisms abut against the outer side wall of the robot body 10 to make the robot body 10 stably arranged in the second groove 24.
[0037] It should be noted that the robot body 10 comprises a walking mechanism, a dust suction mechanism and an edge sweeping mechanism arranged at the bottom thereof, and an obstacle avoidance mechanism arranged at the side thereof. The obstacle avoidance mechanism comprises a laser ranging unit, which can play a positioning role when the robot body 10 moves directly into the second groove 24. For example, when the laser ranging unit monitors that the distance between the head of the robot body 10 and the side wall of the second groove 24 reaches a preset distance, it indicates that the robot body 10 has moved to the designated position in the second groove 24, and then the walking mechanism of the robot body 10 is controlled to stop moving.
[0038] The first shell 21 and the second shell 22 play a bearing role when the robot body 10 climbs stairs. When the robot body 10 is about to move into the groove, the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 are at the same horizontal plane. That is, the inner bottom walls of the first groove 23 and the second groove 24 are at the same plane, and the robot body 10 can move into the second groove 24 of the second shell 22 through the first groove 23 of the first shell 21.
[0039] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, more than half of the volume of the robot body 10 is located in the second groove 24, and the rest is located in the first groove 23. That is, when the robot body 10 is clamped, the volume located in the second groove 24 is greater than the volume located in the first groove 23.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 4, a structure schematic diagram of a stair-climbing robot is shown when it climbs from the first step to the second step. When the stair-climbing robot climbs from the first step to the second step, the second shell 22 and the clamped robot body 10 are lifted to the height of the second step by the first telescopic units 25 on both sides of the first shell 21. Then, the first walking mechanism of the first shell 21 is controlled to move the whole stair-climbing robot towards the second step, so that the second walking mechanism of the second shell 22 contacts the plane of the second step, and the first walking mechanism stops after the first shell 21 contacts the vertical plane between the first step and the second step. Figure 2 Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 5, a structure schematic diagram of the second shell 22 and the robot body 10 of a stair-climbing robot is shown when they are on the horizontal plane of the second step. When the first shell 21 stops moving, the first telescopic units 25 are controlled to contract. Since the volume of the second shell 22 and the robot body 10 on the horizontal plane of the second step is greater than the volume of the first shell 21 on the horizontal plane of the first step, that is, the weight of the telescopic end of the first telescopic units 25 is greater than the weight of the fixed end of the first telescopic units 25. When the first telescopic units 25 contract, the fixed end and the first shell 21 are lifted until the first shell 21 is located on the horizontal plane of the second step.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, a structure schematic diagram of the whole stair-climbing robot on the horizontal plane of the second step is shown. The second walking mechanism drives the second shell 22, the first shell 21 and the robot body 10 to move towards the vertical plane between the second step and the third step until the whole stair-climbing robot is located on the horizontal plane of the second step. Figure 3 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 6, a structure schematic diagram of the whole stair-climbing robot on the horizontal plane of the second step is shown. The second walking mechanism drives the second shell 22, the first shell 21 and the robot body 10 to move towards the vertical plane between the second step and the third step until the whole stair-climbing robot is located on the horizontal plane of the second step.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, a structure schematic diagram of the whole stair-climbing robot on the horizontal plane of the second step is shown. The second walking mechanism drives the second shell 22, the first shell 21 and the robot body 10 to move towards the vertical plane between the second step and the third step until the whole stair-climbing robot is located on the horizontal plane of the second step. Figure 4 Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 6, a structure schematic diagram of the whole stair-climbing robot on the horizontal plane of the second step is shown. The second walking mechanism drives the second shell 22, the first shell 21 and the robot body 10 to move towards the vertical plane between the second step and the third step until the whole stair-climbing robot is located on the horizontal plane of the second step.
[0043] The above-mentioned related actions are repeated, so that the stair-climbing robot can complete the stair-climbing work. Figures 1 to 4

The robot body 10 is climbed from the first step to the second step through the clever cooperation between the telescopic unit, the walking mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the position transformation of the sweeping robot in the space height is completed through the simple structure design, the practicality is high, and the market promotion is facilitated.

[0047] It can be understood that, due to the vertical up-down movement of the first telescopic unit 25, the connecting piece 26 in the right-angled triangle structure is stable, and the second shell 22 and the robot body 10 can be smoothly lifted upwards under the action of the first telescopic unit 25.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the first walking mechanism comprises a first universal driving wheel set and a first universal supporting wheel set, and the second walking mechanism comprises a second universal driving wheel set and a second universal supporting wheel set.

[0050] Only when it is ensured that the second shell 22 is lifted to be separated from the vertical surface and reaches the height of the second step, the first universal driving wheel set and the first universal supporting wheel set can drive the first shell 21 to move towards the vertical surface.
