[0050] The circuit board 120 is arranged in the first accommodating groove 1111 in a screwing or buckling manner so as to be stably arranged in the first accommodating groove 1111. The circuit board 120 is provided with the trigger switch 121 on a side thereof facing the second accommodating groove 1112, and the trigger switch 121 is electrically connected with the circuit board 120.

[0051] Specifically, the first light-transmitting piece 130 is movably mounted in the second accommodating groove 1112 so as to be capable of moving towards or away from the first accommodating groove 1111.

[0053] In the working process, when the first light-transmitting piece 130 collides with an obstacle, under the action of the collision force, the first light-transmitting piece 130 moves towards the direction close to the first accommodating groove 1111, so as to drive the trigger piece 131 to abut and press the trigger switch 121. At this time, the elastic piece 140 is compressed, and the cleaning robot 1000 can perform corresponding obstacle avoidance action according to the indication signal of the trigger switch 121. After the obstacle avoidance is completed, the first light-transmitting piece 130 is reset under the reset elastic force of the elastic piece 140, so as to drive the trigger piece 131 to move away from the trigger switch 121, and the cleaning robot 1000 normally performs the cleaning work. The obstacle avoidance effect of the cleaning robot 1000 on the obstacle is effectively improved, and the technical problem that the obstacle avoidance function of the cleaning robot in the prior art is poor is improved.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 illustrated, in an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the identification module 100 further comprises a sealing piece 150, the sealing piece 150 is arranged in the second accommodating groove 1112, and abuts against one side of the first light-transmitting piece 130 facing the first accommodating groove 1111 and the groove wall of the second accommodating groove 1112 respectively.

[0056] In the embodiment, by arranging the sealing piece 150 in the second accommodating groove 1112, and abutting the sealing piece 150 against one side of the first light-transmitting piece 130 facing the accommodating groove and the groove wall of the second accommodating groove 1112 respectively, the sealing effect is achieved, the dustproof and waterproof function of the identification module 100 is realized, the circuit board 120 and other electronic components in the first accommodating groove 1111 are effectively protected, and the service life of the identification module 100 is prolonged.

[0057] Exemplarily, the material of the sealing piece 150 can be rubber, silicone, EVA or the like.

[0058] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the above embodiments of the present application, optionally, the sealing member 150 comprises a mounting portion 151 and a bent portion 152, the mounting portion 151 abuts against the slot wall of the second accommodating slot 1112, one end of the bent portion 152 is connected with the mounting portion 151, and the other end continuously and foldedly extends away from the mounting portion 151 and abuts against the side of the first light-transmitting member 130 facing the first accommodating slot 1111.

[0059] In the embodiments, by arranging the mounting portion 151 and the bent portion 152 to abut against the slot wall of the second accommodating slot 1112 and the side of the first light-transmitting member 130 facing the first accommodating slot 1111 respectively, the sealing effect is achieved, the dustproof and waterproof function of the identification module 100 is realized, the circuit board 120 and other electronic components in the first accommodating slot 1111 are effectively protected, and the service life of the identification module 100 is prolonged.

[0060] Specifically, by arranging one end of the bent portion 152 to be connected with the mounting portion 151 and the other end to continuously and foldedly extend away from the mounting portion 151, the bent portion 152 has good elasticity, so as to jointly play the resetting effect with the elastic member 140, the resetting elastic force is increased, and the resetting effect of the first light-transmitting member 130 is effectively improved, which is beneficial to drive the trigger member 131 to move away from the trigger switch 121 and make the cleaning robot 1000 normally perform the cleaning work.

[0061] Exemplarily, the mounting portion 151 and the bent portion 152 can be integrally formed by using materials such as rubber, silica gel, EVA, etc., and have the sealing performance and the elastic performance.

[0062] As shown in the above embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present application, optionally, the identification module 100 further comprises a fastener 160, the mounting member 132 is provided with a mounting hole 1321 matched with the fastener 160, the fastener 160 is arranged in the mounting hole 1321 and abuts against the end face of the second limiting hole 1122 away from the second accommodating slot 1112.

[0063] In the embodiment, the mounting member 132 is arranged in the second limiting hole 1122, and the mounting member 132 is provided with a mounting hole 1321 matched with the fastener 160. The fastener 160 is arranged in the mounting hole 1321 and abuts against the end face of the second limiting hole 1122 away from the second accommodating groove 1112, that is, the fastener 160 abuts against the side of the partition plate 112 away from the second accommodating groove 1112. In this way, the first light-transmitting member 130 is limited by the fixing connection between the fastener 160 and the mounting member 132 and the abutment between the fastener 160 and the side of the partition plate 112 away from the second accommodating groove 1112, so that the first light-transmitting member 130 is prevented from falling off from the second accommodating groove 1112, and the first light-transmitting member 130 always moves in the second accommodating groove 1112, thereby improving the movement stability of the first light-transmitting member 130.

[0064] For example, the fastener 160 can be a fastening screw, and the mounting hole 1321 can be a fastening hole matched with the fastening screw.

[0065] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 3 , in one embodiment of the present application, the identification module 100 further includes a second light-transmitting member 170. The side of the partition plate 112 away from the first accommodating groove 1111 is provided with a placing groove 1123 for placing the second light-transmitting member 170.

[0066] In the embodiment, the placing groove 1123 for placing the second light-transmitting member 170 is arranged on the side of the partition plate 112 away from the first accommodating groove 1111, so that the second light-transmitting member 170 can be stably placed in the placing groove 1123.

[0067] For example, the placing groove 1123 and the second accommodating groove 1112 can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the trigger member 131, and the placing groove 1123 can be located in the inner periphery of the second accommodating groove 1112. The material of the second light-transmitting member 170 can be transparent glass or transparent plastic, the first light-transmitting member 130 can be a linear laser lens, and the second light-transmitting member 170 can be a camera lens.

[0068] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the above embodiments of this application, optionally, the identification module 100 further includes a first identification module 180 and a second identification module 190. The first identification module 180 and the second identification module 190 are both disposed in the first receiving groove 1111 and are both oriented towards the second receiving groove 1112. The partition 112 has a first clearance hole 1124 and a second clearance hole 1125. The first clearance hole 1124 is used to avoid the first identification module 180, and the second clearance hole 1125 is used to avoid the second identification module 190. The first light-transmitting element 130 is disposed corresponding to the first identification module 180, and the second light-transmitting element 170 is disposed corresponding to the second identification module 190.

[0069] In this embodiment, both the first identification module 180 and the second identification module 190 are disposed within the first receiving groove 1111, and both are oriented towards the second receiving groove 1112. The partition 112 has a first clearance hole 1124 for avoiding the first identification module 180 and a second clearance hole 1125 for avoiding the second identification module 190. The first light-transmitting element 130 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the first identification module 180, and the second light-transmitting element 170 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the second identification module 190. This allows the first identification module 180 to sequentially identify and detect obstacles through the first clearance hole 1124 and the first light-transmitting element 130, and the second identification module 190 to sequentially identify and detect obstacles through the second clearance hole 1125 and the second light-transmitting element 170.

[0070] For example, the first recognition module 180 can be a linear laser module, and the second recognition module 190 can be a camera module. By combining the linear laser module and the camera module, obstacle information can be detected, and information such as obstacle size, obstacle shape, obstacle type, and distance between the obstacle and the cleaning robot 1000 can be obtained. This enables the obstacle avoidance function, greatly improving the intelligence of the cleaning robot 1000 and enhancing cleaning efficiency.

[0071] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 5 As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, optionally, the first light-transmitting element 130 and the second light-transmitting element 170 are spaced apart along an axis direction perpendicular to the trigger element 131.

[0072] In the embodiment, the first light-transmitting piece 130 is movably arranged in the second accommodating groove 1112, and the second light-transmitting piece 170 is fixedly arranged in the placing groove 1123. When the second light-transmitting piece 170 collides with the obstacle and the first light-transmitting piece 130 does not collide with the obstacle, the trigger switch 121 cannot be triggered, and the cleaning robot 1000 cannot perform the corresponding obstacle avoidance action. Therefore, the area of the first light-transmitting piece 130 needs to be increased as much as possible, and the area of the second light-transmitting piece 170 needs to be reduced as much as possible, so as to improve the obstacle avoidance probability and effect of the cleaning robot 1000. The first light-transmitting piece 130 and the second light-transmitting piece 170 are arranged in the axial direction perpendicular to the trigger piece 131. In this way, the area of the first light-transmitting piece 130 can be effectively increased, and the area of the second light-transmitting piece 170 can be effectively reduced. The probability that the trigger switch 121 is triggered when the identification module 100 collides with the obstacle is improved, so as to improve the obstacle avoidance probability and effect of the cleaning robot 1000, and the appearance of the identification module 100 is improved.

[0073] As shown in Figure 7 In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, optionally, the second light-transmitting piece 170 is located in the inner circumferential direction of the first light-transmitting piece 130.

[0074] In the embodiment, the first light-transmitting piece 130 is movably arranged in the second accommodating groove 1112, and the second light-transmitting piece 170 is fixedly arranged in the placing groove 1123. When the second light-transmitting piece 170 collides with the obstacle and the first light-transmitting piece 130 does not collide with the obstacle, the trigger switch 121 cannot be triggered, and the cleaning robot 1000 cannot perform the corresponding obstacle avoidance action. Therefore, the area of the first light-transmitting piece 130 needs to be increased as much as possible, and the area of the second light-transmitting piece 170 needs to be reduced as much as possible, so as to improve the obstacle avoidance probability and effect of the cleaning robot 1000. The second light-transmitting piece 170 is located in the inner circumferential direction of the first light-transmitting piece 130. In this way, the area of the first light-transmitting piece 130 can be further increased, and the area of the second light-transmitting piece 170 can be further reduced. The probability that the trigger switch 121 is triggered when the identification module 100 collides with the obstacle is further improved, so as to further improve the obstacle avoidance probability and effect of the cleaning robot 1000, and the appearance of the identification module 100 is further improved.

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, optionally, the mounting piece 132 is provided with at least two mounting pieces 132, and the two mounting pieces 132 are located on two opposite sides of the trigger piece 131.

[0076] In the embodiment, by setting the number of the mountings 132 to at least two and respectively locating the two mountings 132 at two opposite sides of the trigger 131, the first light-transmitting piece 130 is relatively uniformly and balancedly stressed, which effectively improves the activity stability of the first light-transmitting piece 130, enables the first light-transmitting piece 130 to stably move towards the direction of the first accommodating groove 1111, and stably reset under the action of the reset elastic force.
