DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0046] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of the present application provide a sweeping robot base station A, which is used in cooperation with a movable sweeping robot;

[0047] The base station A comprises:

[0048] The housing 1 is formed with an accommodation space 11 for accommodating the sweeping robot, and the housing 1 has an opening 12 for the sweeping robot to enter or leave the accommodation space 11 from the opening 12;

[0049] The clamping device 2 is arranged on the housing 1, and the clamping device 2 has a clamping station and a return station. When the clamping device 2 is at the clamping station, the end of the clamping device 2 extends into the accommodation space 11 and abuts against the cloth assembly of the sweeping robot, so as to disassemble the cloth assembly from the sweeping robot and fix it in the accommodation space 11. When the clamping device 2 is at the return station, the end of the clamping device 2 is away from the cloth assembly. Of course, in order to be beautiful and not to affect the entry of the sweeping robot into the accommodation space, the end of the clamping device 2 can also completely exit the accommodation space 11;

[0050] The cleaning device 3 is located in the receiving space 11. When the sweeping robot is located in the receiving space 11, the cleaning device 3 comes into contact with the mop in the mop assembly. In order to ensure that the movement range of the cleaning device 3 completely covers the area of ​​the mop in the mop assembly, so as to improve the cleaning effect and make the mop in the mop assembly cleaner, the cleaning device 3 can move along the plane where the mop of the sweeping robot is located.

[0051] The drive mechanism 4 is connected to the cleaning device 3 and is used to drive the cleaning device 3 to move along the plane where the mop of the sweeping robot is located.

[0052] It should be noted that when the mop assembly of the robotic vacuum cleaner needs cleaning, the robotic vacuum cleaner enters the receiving space 11 through the opening 12 of the housing 1 of the base station A. To ensure the cleaning effect on the mop in the mop assembly, the cleaning device 3 comes into contact with the mop in the mop assembly. The driving mechanism 4 drives the cleaning device 3 to reciprocate on the plane where the mop is located to clean the mop assembly. This increases the range of motion of the cleaning device 3, ensuring that the range of motion of the cleaning device 3 completely covers the area of ​​the mop in the mop assembly, thereby improving the cleaning effect and ensuring that the mop in the mop assembly is cleaned. The cleaning cloth is cleaner; when the robot vacuum enters the cleaning mode, it enters the receiving space 11 from the opening 12 of the housing 1 of the base station A. At this time, the clamping device 2 set on the housing 1 is in the reset position. Then the clamping device 2 moves to extend its end into the receiving space 11 and abuts against the cleaning cloth assembly of the robot vacuum to remove the cleaning cloth assembly from the robot vacuum. The robot vacuum then leaves the base station A from the opening 12 of the housing 1 and enters the cleaning mode. This solves the problem of the cleaning cloth assembly dirtying the carpet or affecting the robot vacuum's ability to cross obstacles in the cleaning mode.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown and referenced Figure 3 In order to make it easier to remove the mop assembly of the robot vacuum cleaner, the clamping device 2 can be designed as a first clamping assembly 21 and a second clamping assembly 22 that are symmetrical about the accommodating space 11. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping assembly 22 are arranged along the first direction.

[0054] When disassembling the mop assembly using the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22, the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22 move from the reset position to the clamping position. When the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22 are in the clamping position, they cooperate to apply opposite forces to the mop assembly of the robot vacuum cleaner. That is, both the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22 move towards the mop assembly and simultaneously apply opposite forces to the mop assembly to perform a clamping action on the mop assembly.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the first clamping assembly 21 includes a first rotating shaft 211 and a first rotating arm 212 pivotally connected to the first rotating shaft 211; the first rotating arm 212 is rotatable about the first rotating shaft 211 and along a plane perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 211.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The first rotating shaft 211 is located in the middle of the first rotating arm 212. In order to ensure the rotation direction of the first rotating arm 212, a groove is provided in the first rotating arm 212. A guide protrusion 13 that cooperates with the groove is provided on the contact surface of the housing 1 that contacts the first rotating arm 212. Specifically, the shape of the guide protrusion 13 is consistent with the rotation direction of the first rotating arm 212. Alternatively, the first rotating arm 212 may have a guide protrusion 13, and the contact surface of the housing 1 that contacts the first rotating arm 212 may have a groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion 13.

[0057] Of course, the first clamping assembly 21 also includes a first reset member 213 and a first drive unit 214. The first end of the first rotating arm 212 is connected to the first drive unit 214. The first drive unit 214 provides rotational force to the first rotating arm 212. The second end of the first rotating arm 212 forms a clamping end 2121.

[0058] A first reset member 213 is installed on the first rotating shaft 211. When the clamping device 2 is in the clamping position, the reset force of the first reset member 213 is overcome so that the clamping end 2121 of the first rotating arm 212 abuts against the mop assembly of the sweeping robot.

[0059] The first drive unit 214 that provides rotational force to the first clamping assembly 21 specifically includes a rope 2142 and a first motor 2141 that is drively connected to the rope 2142; the rope 2142 is connected to the first end of the first rotating arm 212, and the second end of the second rotating arm forms a clamping end 2121, which is used to abut against the cloth assembly when clamping the cloth assembly. When the first clamping assembly 21 is in the clamping position, the first motor 2141 rotates to tighten one end of the rope 2142. The other end of the rope 2142 is connected to the first end of the first rotating arm 212, which in turn drives the first rotating arm 212 to rotate against the reset force of the first reset member 213. As a result, the clamping end 2121 of the first rotating arm 212 extends into the receiving space 11 and abuts against the mop assembly of the sweeping robot to complete the clamping of the mop assembly. When the first clamping assembly 21 moves from the clamping position to the reset position, the first motor 2141 stops working. At this time, the rope 2142 is in a relaxed state. The reset force of the first reset member 213 drives the first rotating arm 212 to rotate, causing the clamping end 2121 of the first rotating arm 212 to exit the receiving space 11.

[0060] Of course, in a specific embodiment, the first clamping component 21 and the second clamping component 22 may have the same structure. For example, the second clamping component 22 includes a second rotating shaft and a second rotating arm pivotally connected to the second rotating shaft; the second rotating arm can rotate about the second rotating shaft along a plane perpendicular to the second rotating shaft.

[0061] The second rotating shaft is located in the middle of the second rotating arm. In order to ensure the rotation direction of the second rotating arm, a groove is provided in the second rotating arm. A guide protrusion 13 that cooperates with the groove is provided on the contact surface of the housing 1 that contacts the second rotating arm. Specifically, the shape of the guide protrusion 13 is consistent with the rotation direction of the second rotating arm. Alternatively, the guide protrusion 13 can be provided in the second rotating arm, and a groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion 13 can be provided on the contact surface of the housing 1 that contacts the second rotating arm.

[0062] Of course, the second clamping assembly 22 also includes a second driving part and a second reset member. The first end of the second rotating arm is connected to the second driving part. The second driving part provides rotational force to the second rotating arm. The second end of the second rotating arm forms a clamping end 2121.

[0063] A second reset component is installed on the second rotating shaft. When the clamping device 2 is in the clamping position, it overcomes the reset force of the second reset component so that the clamping end 2121 of the second rotating arm abuts against the mop assembly of the sweeping robot.

[0064] The second drive unit that provides rotational force to the second clamping assembly 22 specifically includes a rope 2142 and a second motor that is drively connected to the rope 2142; the rope 2142 is connected to the first end of the second rotating arm.

[0065] The second rotating arm, second rotating shaft, and second reset component in the second clamping assembly 22 are identical to those in the first clamping assembly and are not described in detail. For their specific structures, please refer to the first clamping assembly and the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 .

[0066] The first motor 2141 and the second motor here can be two different motors. Of course, in order to reduce the structure of the base station A provided by the present invention, the first motor 2141 and the second motor are designed as one motor, for example, a dual-output shaft motor, which can better achieve synchronous clamping of the cloth assembly.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drive mechanism 4 includes a third motor 41 and an eccentric shaft 42; the eccentric shaft 42 has a first output shaft and a second output shaft 422, the first output shaft and the second output shaft 422 are not collinear, and the first output shaft of the eccentric shaft 42 is connected to the third motor 41 for transmission.

[0068] The cleaning device includes a cleaning component 33 that comes into contact with the cloth in the cloth assembly;

[0069] The second output shaft 422 of the eccentric shaft 42 is connected to the cleaning assembly 33.

[0070] The first output shaft of the eccentric shaft 42 is driven to rotate by the third motor 41, thereby causing the eccentric shaft 42 to move as a whole, so that the second output shaft 422 has a rotation direction that is not collinear with the first output shaft. The second output shaft 422 is connected to the cleaning assembly 33 through the transmission rod 421, thereby realizing the vibration of the cleaning assembly 33. Furthermore, due to the high speed of the third motor 41, the high-frequency vibration of the cleaning assembly 33 is realized.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, the cleaning assembly 33 includes a mounting plate 331 connected to the second output shaft 422 and a cleaning component 332 located on the mounting plate 331 facing the cloth in the cloth assembly. Specifically, the mounting plate 331 is connected to the second output shaft 422 via a transmission rod 421. To ensure that the cloth in the cloth assembly is cleaned thoroughly without leaving any dead corners, the mounting plate 331 covers the cloth in the cloth assembly, and the movement area of ​​the cleaning component 332 covers the cloth in the cloth assembly. Of course, since the cleaning component 332 can move within a certain range, the area of ​​the cleaning assembly 33 can be slightly smaller than the cloth in the cloth assembly, and the shape of the cleaning assembly 33 can also be different from that of the cloth in the cloth assembly. Of course, the best cleaning effect is achieved when the shape of the cleaning assembly 33 is the same as that of the cloth in the cloth assembly.

[0072] Specifically, the cleaning component 332 includes a cleaning rib 3321 and / or a brush 3322. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 4 There are multiple cleaning ribs 3321 and brushes 3322. For example, the cleaning ribs 3321 and brushes 3322 are arranged alternately, or there are multiple cleaning ribs 3321 between two adjacent brushes 3322. Since the cleaning component 332 can move within a certain range, the cleaning ribs 3321 and brushes 3322 can perform scissor cleaning by cross-reciprocating motion.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, the robotic vacuum cleaner base station A further includes a cleaning tank located in the receiving space 11 and on the side of the cleaning device 3 away from the mop assembly. Of course, cleaning agent can be added to the cleaning tank to enhance the cleaning effect on the mop in the mop assembly.

[0074] To further improve the cleaning effect on the cloth assembly, the robot vacuum cleaner base station A also includes nozzles; the nozzles are disposed on the cleaning component 332 and / or in the cleaning tank. For example, the nozzles may be disposed on one or more of the cleaning ribs 3321 of the cleaning component 332, the brushes 3322 of the cleaning component 332, and the side wall of the cleaning tank, so as to achieve spraying and washing of the cloth in the cloth assembly.

[0075] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a sweeping robot system, including a sweeping robot base station A and a sweeping robot as described in any of the first aspects;

[0076] The sweeping robot includes: a bottom shell and a detachable mop assembly disposed on the bottom shell;

[0077] The cloth assembly is equipped with a disassembly button assembly 52;

[0078] The end of the clamping device 2 extends into the disassembly button assembly 52 to separate the cloth support 51 from the bottom shell.

[0079] Specifically, the rag holder 51 is separated from the bottom shell by inserting the clamping device 2 into the disassembly button assembly 52.

[0080] Optionally, the cloth assembly includes a cloth holder 51 and a cloth disposed on the cloth holder 51;

[0081] The disassembly button assembly 52 is disposed on the cloth support 51. The disassembly button assembly 52 includes a body 521 with a groove and a hook 522 with restoring force. When the clamping device 2 is in the clamping position, the end of the clamping device 2 extends into the groove of the body 521 and drives the hook 522 to move, so as to separate the cloth support 51 and the bottom shell.

[0082] Continue to refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that when the first motor 2141 rotates, it tightens one end of the rope 2142, and the other end of the rope 2142 is connected to the first end of the first rotating arm 212, which drives the first rotating arm 212 to rotate. As a result, the clamping end 2121 of the first rotating arm 212 extends into the groove of the body 521, pushes the buckle to move, and the buckle disengages from the body 521, thereby separating the cloth support 51 from the bottom shell. A return spring 523 is provided between the body 521 and the side wall of the groove. When it is necessary to install the cloth support 51 onto the bottom shell, the return spring 523 pushes the hook 522 to return to its original position so that the cloth support 51 is engaged with the bottom shell.

[0083] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
