Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of smart home design and relates to an air purification and sweeping integrated robot. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, smart home devices are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Although existing sweeping robots can effectively clean the floor, most products focus on the cleaning function, and rarely involve the improvement of indoor air quality. In some home environments, in addition to cleaning the floor, pollutants such as dust, bacteria, and formaldehyde in the air are also a problem that needs to be solved. Although there are independent air purifiers on the market that can improve indoor air quality, they take up space when used alone and can only purify local spaces, with a limited purification range.

[0003] In addition, existing sweeping robots and air purifiers are usually independent products that users need to purchase and use separately, which not only increases costs but is also inconvenient. Therefore, the market needs a smart home device that can simultaneously achieve floor sweeping and air purification functions, takes up little space, and is easy to use. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an air-purifying and sweeping integrated robot, which modularly combines the sweeping function and the air purification function, and can purify the indoor air while sweeping the floor, effectively improving the cleanliness and air quality of the home environment.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air purification and sweeping integrated robot, which is special in that it includes an air purifier, a sweeping robot and a base station;

[0006] The base station is used to park the air purifier and the sweeping robot, and to charge the sweeping robot;

[0031] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.

[0032] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides an air-purifying and sweeping integrated robot, including an air purifier 1, a sweeping robot 2 and a base station 3; the base station 3 is used to park the air purifier 1 and the sweeping robot 2, and to charge the sweeping robot 2; the air purifier 1 and the sweeping robot 2 can be freely combined and separated, and the sweeping robot 2 can work independently away from the base station 3, and can also carry the air purifier 1 to work together.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The base station 3 is mechanically connected with a dragging mechanism 4, and the sweeping robot 1 is parked inside the base station 3, directly below the "dragging mechanism" 3. The dragging mechanism 4 is used to drag the air purifier 1, so that the air purifier 1 and the sweeping robot 2 can be freely combined and separated.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The dragging mechanism 4 includes a claw and a motor gear rack mechanism. The claw is used to clamp the air purifier 1. The claw is moved up and down through the motor gear rack mechanism, thereby the air purifier 1 moves up and down, and finally the air purifier 1 and the sweeping robot 2 are freely combined and separated.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The radius of the inner arc of the claw is the same as the radius of the bottom of the air purifier, so the air purifier 1 can be clamped. The bottom of the claw is provided with an inner edge, which is used to contact the bottom edge of the air purifier 1 to support the air purifier 1.

[0036] The motor drives the gear rack mechanism to move, realizes the up and down movement of the dragging mechanism 4, completes the combination and separation of the sweeping robot and the air purifier, and realizes the selection of multiple working modes. When the sweeping robot needs to work independently, the dragging mechanism is lifted, the air purifier and the sweeping robot are separated, the air purifier stays on the dragging mechanism in the base station, and the sweeping robot goes out to work alone. When air purification is required, the dragging mechanism descends, the sweeping robot and the air purifier dock autonomously, and the sweeping robot acts as a carrier to purify the air in the room. The radius of the inner circle of the dragging mechanism is the same as the radius of the bottom of the air purifier, which can perfectly clamp the air purifier, avoiding the relative movement of the two when docking, and increasing the reliability and stability of the air purifier in the base station. The gear rack mechanism used ensures that it can carry a large load and drag the air purifier intact.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The base station 3 is provided with a garbage dust collection port 8, and the dust box inside the sweeping robot 2 is connected to the garbage collection port 20, and the garbage collection port 20 is docked with the garbage dust collection port 8. An automatic packing garbage box 5 is provided on the top of the base station 3. The base station uses a high-power fan to suck away the garbage inside the dust box from the garbage dust collection port 8. After the dust box is dusted, the garbage enters the automatic packing garbage box. After the garbage box detects that the garbage is full, it automatically packs and seals. A laser receiver 10 is provided in the base station 3. Before the sweeping robot returns to the base station, it scans with an infrared laser. The laser receiver 10 is used to find the specific location of the base station, which is convenient for the sweeping robot to dock and charge autonomously.

[0038] See also Figure 5 , the automatic packing garbage box model includes a packing stick 32, a bevel gear 35, a stepper motor 36, a fuse device 33 and a screw rod 37. The packing stick 32 is mechanically connected to the screw rod 37. The screw rod 37 is mechanically connected to the bevel gear 35. The bevel gear 35 is mechanically connected to the stepper motor 36. The motor drives the gear screw mechanism to move. After the base station collects dust, it intelligently detects that the garbage in the garbage box has reached a certain volume through infrared scanning in the garbage box. After judging that the garbage box is full, it will automatically pack and feedback to the user through the matching intelligent housework master APP. There is no need to manually clean the dust box, and there is no need to regularly replace the disposable dust box. It only needs to throw away disposable garbage bags regularly. It is more green and low-carbon, and it also realizes automation to the maximum extent. Automatic dust collection is more convenient and can free your hands. When packing, the stepper motor 36 drives the packing stick 32 to move through the bevel gear 35 and the screw rod 37, and finally seals the garbage bag through the fuse device 33.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The fixing notches 13, 15, and 17 are directly fixed on the housing of the cleaning robot. The fixing notch 14 is directly fixed on the top of the cleaning robot 2 and is directly connected to the battery inside the cleaning robot.

[0040] See also Figure 4 , the fixed pillars 28, 30, 31 are directly fixed to the bottom end of the air purifier 1. The charging plug is directly connected to the lower end of the air purifier 1, and is connected to the battery inside the air purifier. The air outlet 27 is mechanically connected to the main body of the air purifier. The housing 26 is fixed on the main body of the air purifier. The air outlet 37 is located directly above the air purifier. The fixed pillars 28, 30, 31 are located directly below the air purifier 1, and are distributed in an equilateral triangle, and are distributed in the same manner as the fixed slots 13, 15, 17 to ensure that the two can be docked. The charging plug is located at the center of the circle directly below the air purifier 1, and is in the same relative position as the charging slot 14 to ensure that the two can be docked smoothly.

[0041] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base station 3 is provided with a blower 7, and the top of the base station 3 is provided with an automatic upper and lower water tank 6, which replenishes the water tank inside the sweeping robot and cleans the mop at the same time. After cleaning, the mop is dried by blowing air from the air outlet inside the base station. The base station 3 is provided with a sweeping robot docking charging interface 9 for charging the battery inside the sweeping robot; the bottom of the sweeping robot 2 is provided with a mop 18, a brush 22, a universal wheel 22 and a wheel 23; the top of the air purifier 1 is provided with an air outlet 27, and a HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter are used inside to effectively remove harmful substances in the air.

[0042] In some embodiments, an intelligent control system is also included, which can automatically adjust the cleaning and purification modes according to user needs and environmental data. Through a mobile phone APP or voice assistant, the user can monitor and adjust the working status of the device in real time. The infrared radar scanner 16 is used to detect environmental data and transmit it to the intelligent control system.

[0043] In some embodiments, the sweeping robot 2 is provided with an autonomous tracking module and a visual module, and the autonomous tracking module and the visual module include a camera 24 and an infrared scanner 25. The autonomous tracking module can scan the entire room, obtain a specific route planning map, and autonomously plan the best route, autonomously avoid obstacles, and adopt a high-performance brushless motor, with a double-sided brush and a roller brush, to achieve efficient cleaning; after the sweeping robot 2 completes its work, it automatically returns to the base station through the visual module for autonomous docking and charging, and the base station uses a high-power fan to suck away the garbage inside the dust box from the garbage collection port.

[0044] The present invention provides a modular detachable sweeping machine, so that the sweeping robot can improve the indoor air quality while cleaning the ground. The combination of this sweeping robot and the air purifier adopts a unique "drag and hold" mechanism, which adopts a motor gear rack mechanism to realize the free combination and separation of the two. The sweeping robot part has a strong cleaning ability and can sweep dust, hair and other debris on the ground; the air purifier part is responsible for purifying the indoor air and removing harmful substances such as PM2.5 and formaldehyde. The combination of the two can realize the simultaneous implementation of household cleaning and air purification. This product adopts an advanced intelligent control system, which can automatically adjust the cleaning and purification mode according to user needs and environmental data. Through a mobile phone APP or a voice assistant, the user can monitor and adjust the working status of the device in real time. The navigation system of the intelligent control system adopts advanced sensors and algorithms to realize autonomous navigation and path planning, ensure the coverage and efficiency of cleaning and purification work, and the fan system of the air purifier module is based on the principle of fluid dynamics, through an efficient air duct design, so that the air flow is smoother and the purification efficiency is improved. HEPA filter and activated carbon filter are used to effectively remove harmful substances in the air.

[0045] The following is a detailed description of the action process, working principle and operation steps of this modular sweeping robot combined with an air purifier:

[0046] Action process:

[0047] Initialization phase: The user starts the robot vacuum cleaner through the base station or mobile app. The robot performs self-checks, including battery power, cleaning component status, air purifier module status, etc.

[0048] Combination stage: The dragging mechanism inside the base station is activated to move the air purifier module from the base station to the top of the sweeping robot. The robot and the air purifier module are automatically docked and locked through the mechanical interface to ensure that the modules are firmly combined.

[0049] Cleaning and purification phase: The navigation system is activated and the robot begins to plan the cleaning path. The robot starts to move and clean the floor. The air purifier module starts to filter and purify the air. The sensor monitors the environment in real time and adjusts the cleaning and purification intensity according to the degree of pollution.

[0050] Cleaning completion and separation phase: After the sweeping robot completes the cleaning task, it returns to the base station. The towing mechanism in the base station starts again, removes the air purifier module from the top of the robot and places it back to the base station. The robot separates from the air purifier module and enters the charging state.

[0051] How it works: When cleaning, the robot uses a rotating brush and a powerful suction motor to sweep dust and debris from the ground. The side brush helps sweep garbage from corners and edges into the cleaning path. The filtration system ensures that the inhaled air is filtered before being discharged to prevent secondary contamination.

[0052] Air purification principle: The air purifier module draws in ambient air through a fan. The air passes through the HEPA filter and other filter layers to remove pollutants. The purified air is released from the air outlet of the module.

[0053] Navigation and path planning: Use lidar, cameras or ultrasonic sensors to perceive the environment. Built-in algorithms process sensor data and plan the optimal cleaning path.

[0054] Steps:

[0055] Preparation: Make sure the charging port of the base station is unobstructed and place the robot on the charging dock to charge. Select the cleaning mode and air purification mode through the base station button or mobile APP.

[0056] Start working: Press the start button and the robot will start initializing. Wait for the robot to be combined with the air purifier module.

[0057] Monitor and adjust: Check the robot's cleaning progress and indoor air quality through the APP. If necessary, you can adjust the cleaning mode or the wind speed of the air purifier through the APP.

[0058] End of work: After the robot finishes cleaning, it automatically returns to the base station. Confirm that the robot is separated from the air purifier module and start charging.

[0059] Maintenance and Cleaning:

[0060] Empty the trash bags in the automatic trash bin regularly and clean the filter. Check the robot's battery and components to ensure they are in good condition.

[0061] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
