[0043] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a cleaning robot 10 is provided, comprising:

[0045] AGV chassis 11, wherein a controller is provided in the AGV chassis 11;

[0046] A lifting mechanism 30 is mounted on the AGV chassis 11.

[0047] Robotic arm 13, wherein the robotic arm 13 is disposed at the telescopic end of the lifting mechanism 30;

[0048] Spray gun 14, which is mounted on the robotic arm 13;

[0049] A high-pressure cleaning machine 15 is arranged on the AGV chassis 11, and the high-pressure cleaning machine 15 is communicated with the spray gun 14 through a water supply pipeline 151;

[0050] The high-pressure cleaning machine 15, the lifting mechanism 30 and the mechanical arm 13 are electrically connected with the controller of the AGV chassis 11.

[0051] The cleaning robot 10 can automatically move forward, and the lifting mechanism 30 and the mechanical arm 13 can be flexibly adjusted under the action of the controller, so that the spray gun 14 can act on the target house position. The cleaning robot 10 can cover a larger range, and the spray gun 14 can be flexibly adjusted to face various directions, with high automation degree and high washing efficiency.

[0052] Further, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 30 further comprises a lifting column 12 and a first protective cover 16. The first protective cover 16 is arranged outside the lifting column 12, the lifting column 12 supports the mechanical arm 13 on the AGV chassis 11, and the first protective cover 16 can be telescopic deformed with the lifting column 12.

[0053] During the cleaning process, the first protective cover 16 can be deformed with the lifting column 12, and the lifting column 12 is always shielded inside the first protective cover 16, effectively avoiding the splashing of dirty objects around the cleaning robot 10 during the cleaning process, and reducing the probability of failure of the cleaning robot 10.

[0054] Further specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the first protective cover 16 comprises a plurality of folding parts, all of which can be stretched when the lifting mechanism 30 is stretched, and all of which can be folded when the lifting mechanism 30 is retracted. The first protective cover 16 is folded like an accordion, which can adapt to the lifting process of the lifting mechanism 30.

[0055] Alternatively, the first protective cover 16 can also have other structural forms, as long as it can adapt to the telescopic process of the lifting mechanism 30 and always protect the lifting mechanism 30 inside. For example, the first protective cover 16 is made of elastically deformable material, and the first protective cover 16 elastically deforms to adapt to the length of the lifting mechanism 30 during the lifting process of the lifting mechanism 30.

[0056] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cleaning robot 10 further comprises an air compressor 18 for injecting gas into the first protective cover 16, the air compressor 18 being electrically connected with the controller of the AGV chassis 11.

[0057] When the lifting mechanism 30 is extended, the length of the lifting column 12 is increased, the first protective cover 16 is stretched, and the air compressor 18 injects gas into the first protective cover 16, so that the internal pressure of the first protective cover 16 adapts to the external pressure, avoiding the case that the external humid air is sucked into the first protective cover 16 when the internal space of the first protective cover 16 is increased, and further improving the performance stability of the mechanism in the first protective cover 16.

[0058] Further, the lifting mechanism 30 further comprises an auxiliary support plate 171 arranged at the top end of the lifting column 12, and a bottom plate arranged at the bottom end of the lifting column 12. The bottom plate is mounted on the AGV chassis 11, the mechanical arm 13 is assembled on the auxiliary support plate 171, the bottom of the first protective cover 16 is connected with the bottom plate, and the top of the first protective cover 16 is connected with the auxiliary support plate 171.

[0059] The two ends of the first protective cover 16 are connected with the bottom plate and the auxiliary support plate 171 respectively, and when the lifting column 12 is extended or retracted, the distance between the bottom plate and the auxiliary support plate 171 changes, and the first protective cover 16 deforms following the extension and retraction.

[0060] It should be noted that the upper end of the first protective cover 16 is separated from the auxiliary support plate 171 in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 , but this does not mean that the first protective cover 16 is not connected with the auxiliary support plate 171 in actual use. The figure is only used to show the internal structure and does not limit the uniqueness of the scheme.

[0061] In some embodiments, the auxiliary support plate 171 is provided with an air inlet and outlet hole (not shown in the figure), and the air compressor 18 injects gas into the space surrounded by the first protective cover 16 through the air inlet and outlet hole.

[0062] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, the lifting mechanism 30 also includes a scissor mechanism 17 disposed around the lifting column 12. The bottom end of the scissor mechanism 17 is disposed on the AGV chassis 11, and the top end of the scissor mechanism 17 is connected to an auxiliary support plate 171. The telescopic end of the lifting column 12 is supported in the middle of the auxiliary support plate 171. The outer edge of the auxiliary support plate 171 has multiple spaced support points, and the scissor mechanism 17 is supported at all of the support points of the auxiliary support plate 171. The scissor mechanism 17 can change its crossing angle as the lifting column 12 rises and falls.

[0063] The scissor mechanism 17 provides auxiliary support to the robotic arm 13 via the auxiliary support plate 171, making the movement of the robotic arm 13 more stable. The spray gun 14 experiences a significant reverse impact force when spraying water. The addition of the scissor mechanism 17 provides support at the outer edge of the auxiliary support plate 171, while the lifting column 12 provides support at the center of the auxiliary support plate 171. The auxiliary support plate 171 is stable under stress and has strong impact resistance, thus making the robotic arm 13 mounted on the auxiliary support plate 171 more stable. Furthermore, the scissor mechanism 17 rises and falls synchronously with the robotic arm 13 during its lifting and lowering process, ensuring smooth movement of the auxiliary support plate 171.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the scissor mechanism 17 is located inside the first protective cover 16. The first protective cover 16 not only protects the lifting column 12, but also protects the scissor mechanism 17.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 10 further includes an electrical control cabinet 19, which is mounted on the AGV chassis 11. The air compressor 18 and the high-pressure washer 15 are both located in the cabinet of the electrical control cabinet 19, with the air compressor 18 located above the high-pressure washer 15.

[0066] So Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electrical control cabinet 19 also includes a display screen 192 and a teach pendant 191, both of which are mounted on the cabinet.

[0067] In some embodiments, the robotic arm 13 is provided with a flexible protective suit (not shown in the figure). The flexible protective suit can adapt to changes in the bending angle of the robotic arm 13. The robotic arm 13 is the component closest to the spray gun 14, and dirt is most likely to splash onto the robotic arm 13 during cleaning. Therefore, the flexible protective suit is further provided to protect the robotic arm 13 and reduce the possibility of malfunction due to dirt.

[0068] The mechanical arm 13, the lifting column 12 and the high-pressure cleaner 15 are all protected in corresponding protection structures, the probability of important components being contaminated during the working of the whole cleaning robot 10 is greatly reduced, and the failure rate of the equipment is effectively reduced.

[0069] Further, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the AGV chassis 11 is provided with driving wheels 111 and driven wheels 112. The AGV chassis 11 is provided with front and rear safety bumpers and a peripheral radar, and the bottom of the AGV chassis 11 is provided with a navigation sensor for detecting a guidance information carrier on the ground of the breeding site, such as a magnetic nail 21 or a magnetic strip.

[0070] The cleaning robot 10 can move forward according to the instructions of the controller according to the preset path, and the safety bumper can prevent the cleaning robot 10 from colliding with other objects during automatic movement. As Figure 6 shown, a plurality of magnetic nails 21 can be arranged along the path on the ground of the animal house 20, and the controller can control the cleaning robot 10 to move to a target position or move forward in a target direction according to the magnetic nail 21 information detected by the navigation sensor. In summary, the cleaning robot 10 can realize automatic cleaning.

[0071] Specifically, the radar can be an ultrasonic radar or a millimeter radar, etc.

[0072] Moreover, a battery or other expansion function unit can also be arranged in the AGV chassis 11 to improve the degree of automation of the cleaning robot 10.

[0073] In one of the embodiments, the main frame of the AGV chassis 11 is integrally processed and formed, which greatly reduces the probability of external dirt entering.

[0074] As Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a cleaning robot 10 control method is provided, which is used to control the above-mentioned cleaning robot 10, and the control method comprises the following steps:

[0075] S1, controlling the cleaning robot 10 to move to the starting position of the cleaning channel 22;

[0076] S2, controlling the lifting mechanism 30 to rise, and injecting gas into the first protective cover 16;

[0077] S3, controlling the cleaning robot 10 to autonomously navigate and move forward one station along the current cleaning channel 22, and cleaning the upper left and right two sides of the house 20;

[0078] S4, judging whether the cleaning robot 10 reaches the end position of the current cleaning channel 22, if yes, controlling the lifting mechanism 30 to descend; if no, jumping to step S3.

[0079] S5, the cleaning robot 10 retreats to the starting position of the current cleaning channel 22;

[0080] S6, the control cleaning robot 10 autonomously navigates along the current cleaning channel 22 to a site, and cleans the lower left and right two sides of the house 20;

[0081] S7, determine whether the cleaning robot 10 reaches the end position of the current cleaning channel 22, if yes, retreat to the starting position of the current cleaning channel 22; if not, jump to step S6;

[0082] S8, determine whether the current cleaning channel 22 is the last cleaning channel 22, if yes, the cleaning is completed, if not, control the cleaning robot 10 to enter the starting position of the next cleaning channel 22 and jump to step S2.

[0083] The above scheme provides a cleaning robot 10 control method, as shown in Figure 5 The cleaning robot 10 can be automatically controlled to travel along the cleaning channel 22, and sequentially clean each layer of animal house 20. After a cleaning channel 22 is cleaned, the next cleaning channel 22 is automatically switched to clean, and the degree of automation is high.

[0084] As shown in Figure 5 In actual use scenarios, a row of animal houses 20 can be arranged on both sides of a cleaning channel 22. The cleaning robot 10 can automatically complete the cleaning process of multiple rows of animal houses 20 and multiple layers of animal houses 20 by walking back and forth along the cleaning channel 22, and the degree of automation is high.

[0085] Moreover, when the lifting mechanism 30 is lifted, the air compressor 18 is controlled to inject air into the first protective cover 16 synchronously. The air pressure in the first protective cover 16 is always matched with the external air pressure, avoiding the situation that the external humid air is sucked into the first protective cover 16.

[0086] Further, in some embodiments, the control method includes cleaning each site in a backward manner during the backward process of the cleaning robot 10 in steps S5, S6 and S7. In other words, the cleaning robot 10 retreats through each site in turn, and the spray gun 14 sprays water to clean the left and right two sides of the house 20 in this process. The cleaning robot 10 cleans the left and right two sides of the house 20 during the forward and backward processes, further improving the cleaning efficiency.
