[0002] Home intelligent cleaning robots are a type of intelligent home service robot that can automatically complete cleaning tasks such as cleaning floors and windows using a certain level of artificial intelligence. These include cleaning robots, floor washing robots, mopping robots, and window wiping robots.

[0003] Currently, cleaning robots are usually equipped with base stations. After performing cleaning work, the cleaning robot needs to return to the base station to refill the water. However, existing cleaning robots can only replenish clean water through the base station. When other water-using devices in the smart home (such as humidifiers) need to be replenished with clean water, people still need to manually replenish the water. This cannot completely free up human hands and reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figures 1-8 A cleaning robot is provided for docking with a base station 20 or a water-using device 30. The cleaning robot 10 includes a body 100, a clean water tank 200, and a valve body 300.

[0042] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The clean water tank 200 is located inside the main body 100. The main body 100 is provided with a clean water interface 110, which is used to connect the clean water tank 200 through the inlet water pipe 120 or the outlet water pipe 130.

[0043] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The valve body 300 is used to control the opening of the input water pipe 120 to input clean water into the clean water tank 200 or to control the opening of the output water pipe 130 to output clean water from the clean water tank 200. That is, when the input water pipe 120 is open, external clean water can enter the clean water tank 200 from the clean water interface 110 along the input water pipe 120. When the output water pipe 130 is open, clean water from the clean water tank 200 can be output from the clean water interface 110 along the output water pipe 130.

[0044] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 8 When the water inlet 110 is connected to the water outlet 21 of the base station 20, clean water from the base station 20 flows from the water inlet 110 along the inlet water pipe 120 into the clean water tank 200, replenishing the clean water tank 200 of the cleaning robot 10. When the water inlet 110 is connected to the water inlet 31 of a water-using device 30 (e.g., a humidifier, a fish tank, etc.), clean water from the clean water tank 200 flows from the water inlet 110 along the outlet water pipe 130 into the water-using device 30, replenishing the water-using device 30. This eliminates the need for manual water replenishment, completely freeing up manpower and greatly improving the user experience.

[0045] It is understandable that when the clean water interface 110 is connected to the water outlet 21 of the base station 20 to replenish the clean water tank 200, power can be provided by the pump inside the base station 20 to pump the clean water from the base station 20 from the clean water interface 110 into the clean water tank 200 along the water inlet pipe 120. Alternatively, power can be provided by the pump inside the cleaning robot 100 to pump the clean water from the base station 20 from the clean water interface 110 into the clean water tank 200 along the water inlet pipe 120. When the clean water interface 110 is connected to the water inlet 31 of the water-using device 30 to replenish the water-using device 30, power can be provided by the pump inside the water-using device 30 to pump the clean water from the clean water tank 200 into the water-using device 30 along the water outlet pipe 130 from the clean water interface 110. Alternatively, power can be provided by the pump inside the cleaning robot 100 to pump the clean water from the clean water tank 200 into the water-using device 30 along the water outlet pipe 130 from the clean water interface 110.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, the clean water interface 110 includes a clean water inlet (not shown) and a clean water outlet (not shown). The two ends of the input water pipe 120 are connected to the clean water inlet and the clean water tank 200, respectively, and the two ends of the output water pipe 130 are connected to the clean water outlet and the clean water tank 200, respectively. The clean water inlet is used to connect with the water outlet 21 of the base station 20, and the clean water outlet is used to connect with the water inlet 31 of the water-using device 30. When the clean water inlet is connected to the water outlet 21 of the base station 20, clean water from the base station 20 enters the clean water tank 200 from the clean water inlet along the input water pipe 120; when the clean water outlet is connected to the water inlet 31 of the water-using device 30, clean water from the clean water tank 200 enters the water-using device 30 from the clean water outlet along the output water pipe 130.

[0047] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 2 The cleaning robot 10 also includes a three-way pipe 140. One port of the three-way pipe 140 is connected to a clean water interface 110, and the other two ports of the three-way pipe 140 are connected to an inlet water pipe 120 and an outlet water pipe 130, respectively. That is, it can be connected to the outlet 21 of the base station 20 or the inlet 31 of the water-using equipment 30 through a clean water interface 110, which is simple in structure.

[0048] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 2 The clean water tank 200 is equipped with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is used to fill the clean water tank 200 with clean water from the inlet pipe 120, and the outlet is used to discharge the clean water in the clean water tank 200 to the outside through the outlet pipe 130. The inlet is higher than the outlet, and the specific positions of the inlet and outlet are not restricted, as long as the inlet is higher than the outlet. This allows clean water in the clean water tank 200 to enter from a higher position and exit from a lower position, facilitating the replenishment and discharge of clean water. The inlet can be a water outlet on the inlet pipe 120, in which case the inlet pipe 120 can penetrate the tank wall or top of the clean water tank 200. Alternatively, the inlet can be an interface on the tank wall or top of the clean water tank 200 that connects to the inlet pipe 120. The inlet facilitates the connection of the inlet pipe 120 to the clean water tank 200. The outlet can be the water inlet on the outlet pipe 130. In this case, the outlet pipe 130 can penetrate the wall or bottom of the clean water tank 200. Alternatively, the outlet can be an interface on the wall or bottom of the clean water tank 200 that connects to the outlet pipe 130. Setting an outlet makes it convenient for the outlet pipe 130 to connect to the clean water tank 200.

[0049] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The valve body 300 may include a first one-way valve 310 disposed on the inlet water pipe 120. The first one-way valve 310 is used to control the inlet water pipe 120 to open, thereby connecting the clean water interface 110 with the inlet water port 130 to fill the clean water tank 200 with clean water. The first one-way valve 310 plays a one-way opening role, and the clean water inside the clean water tank 200 cannot be output along the inlet water pipe 120.

[0050] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The valve body 300 may also include a second one-way valve 320 disposed on the output water pipe 130. The second one-way valve 320 is used to control the output water pipe 130 to conduct so that the output water port is connected to the clean water interface 110 to release clean water to the outside of the clean water tank 200. The second one-way valve 320 plays a one-way conduction role, and the clean water outside cannot enter the clean water tank 200 along the output water pipe 130.

[0051] The specific number, position and type of the valve body 300 can be set according to the specific situation, and the triggering and duration of its opening and closing are also specifically controlled according to the specific working process of the cleaning robot 10.

[0052] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 The inlet is higher than the full water level of the clean water tank 200 to prevent siphoning. The outlet is located at the bottom of the clean water tank 200. The clean water in the clean water tank 200 is discharged from the outlet along the outlet pipe 130 from low to high, so as to avoid the clean water at the bottom of the clean water tank 200 not being able to be discharged, and to ensure that the clean water in the clean water tank 200 can be completely discharged and used.

[0053] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The water inlet is a top connector 210 located at the top of the clean water tank 200 and connected to its interior. One end of the water inlet pipe 120 is connected to the top connector 210, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 120 is connected to the clean water interface 110. Clean water entering along the water inlet pipe 120 flows from the top connector 210 into the clean water tank 200 from high to low to prevent siphoning.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 And / or the outlet is a first bottom connector 220 located at the bottom of the clean water tank 200 and connected to its interior. One end of the outlet water pipe 130 is connected to the first bottom connector 220, and the other end of the outlet water pipe 130 is connected to the clean water interface 110. The clean water in the clean water tank 200 is output from the first bottom connector 220 along the outlet water pipe 130 from low to high, avoiding the clean water at the bottom of the clean water tank 200 from being unable to be output, so that the clean water in the clean water tank 200 can be completely output and used.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The top connector 210 is a tubular connector. The side wall of the top connector 210 is provided with a side opening 211 extending from one end of its pipe to the other end. The side wall of the top connector 210 away from its pipe opening is provided with at least one limiting block 212. One end of the input water pipe 120 is sleeved on the tubular connector and abuts against the limiting block 212. A portion of the side opening 211 is exposed outside the input water pipe 120 so that the clean water input along the input water pipe 120 can flow into the clean water tank 200 from the side opening 211 exposed outside the input water pipe 120.

[0056] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure of the first bottom connector 220 is the same as that of the top connector 210, and the connection method between the output water pipe 130 and the first bottom connector 220 is also the same as the connection method between the input water pipe 120 and the top connector 210.

[0057] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clean water tank 200 is equipped with a first intermediate connector 231. A portion of the inlet water pipe 120 is located inside the clean water tank 200, and the other portion of the inlet water pipe 120 is located outside the clean water tank 200. The two portions of the inlet water pipe 120 are connected by the first intermediate connector 231. Specifically, both ends of a portion of the inlet water pipe 120 are connected to the top connector 210 and the end of the first intermediate connector 231 located inside the clean water tank 200, respectively. Both ends of the other portion of the inlet water pipe 120 are connected to the clean water interface 110 and the end of the first intermediate connector 231 located outside the clean water tank 200, respectively, which facilitates the connection and arrangement of the inlet water pipe 120.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 And / or the clean water tank 200 is also provided with a second intermediate connector 232, a part of the output water pipe 130 is located inside the clean water tank 200, and the other part of the output water pipe 130 is located outside the clean water tank 200. The two parts of the output water pipe 130 are connected by the second intermediate connector 232. Specifically, the two ends of a part of the input water pipe 120 are respectively connected to the end of the first bottom connector 220 and the second intermediate connector 232 located inside the clean water tank 200, and the two ends of the other part of the input water pipe 120 are respectively connected to the clean water interface 110 and the end of the second intermediate connector 232 located outside the clean water tank 200, which facilitates the connection of the output water pipe 130 and the arrangement of the output water pipe 130.

[0059] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The interior of the clean water tank 200 has a first step 230 between the top connector 210 and the first bottom connector 220, and the first step 230 passes through a first intermediate connector 231 and a second intermediate connector 232. Preferably, see... Figure 3 The first intermediate connector 231 and the second intermediate connector 232 are located on the side of the clean water tank 200 near the clean water interface 110 to facilitate water pipe connection.

[0060] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The clean water tank 200 is also equipped with a water inlet, which is used to connect to the roller assembly 160 via a water delivery pipe 150. A first pump body 151 is connected to the water delivery pipe 150. The first pump body 151 is used to transport clean water from the clean water tank 200 to the roller assembly 160 along the water delivery pipe 150. The inlet is higher than the delivery inlet; for example, the delivery inlet can be located at the bottom of the clean water tank 200. Similar to the outlet, the delivery inlet can be a water outlet on the water delivery pipe 150, or it can be an interface of the clean water tank 200. The delivery inlet facilitates the connection of the water delivery pipe 150 to the clean water tank 200. The first pump body 151 provides power to transport clean water from the clean water tank 200 from the delivery inlet to the roller assembly 160 along the water delivery pipe 150, for rinsing the rollers of the roller assembly 160 of the cleaning robot 10, thus having the function of rinsing the rollers.

[0061] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water inlet is a second bottom connector 240 located at the bottom of the clean water tank 200 and connected to its interior. The clean water tank 200 is provided with a third intermediate connector 251. A portion of the water delivery pipe 150 is located inside the clean water tank 200, and the other portion is located outside the clean water tank 200. The two portions of the water delivery pipe 150 are connected to each other through the third intermediate connector 251. Specifically, the roller assembly 160 is provided with a flushing connector 162, which is connected to the roller assembly 160. Both ends of a portion of the water delivery pipe 150 are respectively connected to the ends of the second bottom connector 240 and the third intermediate connector 251 located inside the clean water tank 200, and both ends of the other portion of the water delivery pipe 150 are respectively connected to the ends of the flushing connector 162 and the third intermediate connector 251 located outside the clean water tank 200, which facilitates the connection and arrangement of the water delivery pipe 150.

[0062] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The interior of the clean water tank 200 has a second step 250 between the top connector 210 and the second bottom connector 240, and a third intermediate connector 251 is provided through the second step 250.

[0063] Among them, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The structure of the second bottom connector 240 is the same as that of the top connector 210, and the connection method between the water delivery pipe 150 and the second bottom connector 240 is also the same as the connection method between the water input pipe 120 and the top connector 210.

[0064] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3Another part of the water delivery pipe 150 is connected to a water detection device 152, which is used to detect whether the clean water in the clean water tank 200 is output along the water delivery pipe 150.

[0065] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water detection device 152 and the first pump body 151 are sequentially installed on the part of the water delivery pipe 150 located outside the clean water tank 200.

[0066] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The main body 100, located above the roller assembly 160, forms a limiting cavity 170 for accommodating the water conveying pipe 150. The limiting cavity 170 has a through hole 171 through which the water conveying pipe 150 passes, entering the limiting cavity 170 and connecting to the roller assembly 160. The limiting cavity 170 limits the water conveying pipe 150, preventing it from swinging freely and ensuring structural stability.

[0067] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A sealing ring 172 is provided at the through hole 171. The sealing ring 172 is used to seal the connection between the water delivery pipe 150 and the through hole 171. When the entire cleaning robot is overturned, the sealing ring 172 prevents water on the roller assembly 160 from entering the body 100 through the through hole 171, prevents water from wetting the inside of the body 100 of the cleaning robot 10, protects the components located inside the body 100, and avoids leakage or malfunction, thus ensuring high safety.

[0068] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The roller assembly 160 is located at the bottom of the main body 100, and a flushing connector 162 is provided in the limiting cavity 170, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 One end of the water delivery pipe 150 passes through the through hole 171 and enters the limiting cavity 170 to connect with the flushing connector 162. During flushing, the first pump body 151 provides power to transport the clean water from the clean water tank 200 along the water delivery pipe 150 from the flushing connector 162 to the roller assembly 160, thereby flushing the rollers of the roller assembly 160.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning robot 10 further includes a first pump controller, which is connected to a first pump body 100 and is disposed within the body 100.

Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8When the clean water interface 110 is connected to the water inlet 31 of the water-using equipment 30 and clean water is output by means of pumping water in the water-using equipment 30, the second one-way valve 320 can be opened and the first one-way valve 310 can be closed to form a sealed space inside the clean water tank 200. At this time, gas needs to be supplied to the clean water tank 200 in order to pump water. Therefore, the first pump body 151 can be reversed by the first pump body controller set in the main body 100 to supply gas into the clean water tank 200, balance the gas pressure inside the clean water tank 200, and facilitate the output of clean water.

[0070] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 4 The clean water tank 200 is equipped with an air supply connector 270 that connects to its interior. The air supply connector 270 is connected to an air supply valve (not shown in the figure). When the clean water interface 110 is connected to the water inlet 31 of the water-using equipment 30 to output clean water, the air supply valve communicates with the outside air to supply gas into the clean water tank 200, balance the air pressure inside the clean water tank 200, and facilitate the output of clean water from the clean water tank 200 along the output water pipe 130.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 Alternatively, the air supply connector 270 is connected to an air pump via a pipe (not shown in the figure). When the clean water interface 110 is connected to the water inlet of the water-using equipment to output clean water, the air pump replenishes gas into the clean water tank to balance the air pressure in the clean water tank 200, which is beneficial for the output of clean water in the clean water tank 200 along the output water pipe 130.

[0072] Preferred, refer to Figure 4 The air supply connector 270 is higher than the full water level of the clean water tank 200 to prevent clean water in the clean water tank 200 from entering the air supply connector 270.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The clean water tank 200 is connected to a second pump body 261. When clean water is input through the clean water inlet 110 connected to the outlet 21 of the base station 20, the first one-way valve 310 can be opened, and the second one-way valve 320 and the first pump body 151 can be closed, creating a sealed space inside the clean water tank 200. At this time, the second pump body 261 evacuates the clean water tank 200, allowing clean water from the base station 20 to enter the clean water tank 200 along the inlet water pipe 120. Specifically, the second pump body 261 provides power to evacuate the clean water tank 200, reducing the air pressure inside the clean water tank 200, allowing clean water from the base station 20 to enter the clean water tank 200 along the inlet water pipe 120 under the action of air pressure, thus replenishing the clean water tank 200 with clean water. The structure is compact. The second pump body 261 is a vacuum pump.

[0074] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4The clean water tank 200 is provided with a connector 260 that connects to its interior. The connector 260 is connected to a second pump body 261 via a pipe (not shown in the figure). Preferably, the connector 260 is higher than the full water level of the clean water tank 200 to prevent clean water in the clean water tank 200 from entering the second pump body 261 through the connector 260.

[0075] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clean water tank 200 includes a tank bottom shell 201 and a tank lid 202. The tank bottom shell 201 has an upper opening, and the tank lid 202 is adapted to close the upper opening. A clean water cavity 203 is formed between the tank bottom shell 201 and the tank lid 202, which is used to hold clean water. A first bottom connector 220 and a second bottom connector 240 are both located at the bottom of the clean water cavity 203, and a top connector 210 is located on the top inner wall of the tank lid 202. A connector 260 and an air supply connector 270 are both located on the side wall of the tank lid 202 and communicate with the clean water cavity 203.

[0076] In another embodiment of the invention, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The main body 100 is equipped with a smart gateway 180 for signal transmission. Other smart home devices, such as the base station 20 or water-using equipment 30, can transmit signals through the smart gateway 180. Mobile terminals can also communicate remotely with the smart gateway 180 to achieve remote control and monitoring of various smart devices. The smart gateway 180 is a network device and is key to the intelligence of the local area network. It generally supports virtual network access, Wi-Fi access, Bluetooth access, etc., and enables functions such as information collection, input, output, centralized control, remote control, and linkage control of various sensors, network devices, cameras, and host devices within the local area network.

[0077] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of the invention to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, the architectural form of this invention can be flexibly varied without departing from its conceptual framework, leading to the derivation of a series of products.
