Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and specifically to a dust collection component. The present application also relates to a cleaning robot base station and a cleaning robot system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, automatic cleaning devices are increasingly used in people's lives. Among them, the automatic cleaning device with a cleaning robot base station and a cleaning robot can automatically clean the cleaning robot through the cleaning robot base station after the cleaning robot cleans the floor, thereby reducing the manual cleaning of the cleaning robot by the user.

[0003] The dust collection function of the cleaning robot base station requires a very high accuracy when the cleaning robot returns to the station. If the return accuracy is insufficient, the dust suction port of the base station cannot be aligned with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot, resulting in failure of the dust collection function. The existing technology mainly guides the cleaning robot to return to the station by pre-setting the return route with the cleaning robot base station, but this guidance scheme will have alignment errors. For example, the cleaning robot base station may deflect or fall due to the impact force, and the pre-set return route cannot be adjusted in time, so accurate docking cannot be achieved.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the docking accuracy between the cleaning robot and the cleaning robot base station when the cleaning robot returns to the station has become an urgent problem to be solved by technical personnel in this field. Summary of the invention

[0014] Optionally, the guide bumper plate gradually narrows in width from the first end to the opposite second end, and the guide bumper plate is used to make the two side wheel hubs of the cleaning robot move on both sides of the guide bumper plate respectively, so that the cleaning robot abuts against the side edge of the guide bumper plate during the movement toward the guide bumper plate, thereby driving the guide bumper plate to move along the first direction.

[0015] Optionally, the dust collection module also includes: a plurality of guide wheels, wherein the plurality of guide wheels are respectively arranged on opposite sides between the first end and the second end of the guide collision plate, and the plurality of guide wheels on each side are distributed side by side along the extension direction of the side, and the circumferential end surface of each guide wheel protrudes from the side end surface of the side.

[0016] Optionally, the plurality of guide wheels on each side are distributed side by side on the upper end surface and / or the lower end surface of the side along the extension direction of the side; or

[0017] The multiple guide wheels of each side are distributed side by side on the side end surface of the side along the extension direction of the side, and the circumferential end surfaces of the multiple guide wheels constitute the side end surface of the side.

[0018] Optionally, the circumferential end surface of the guide wheel is set as a flexible end surface.

[0019] Optionally, the mounting member is a guide rail, and the first end of the guide collision plate is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0020] Optionally, the mounting member is a linear bearing, and the first end of the guide collision plate slides via the linear bearing.

[0021] The present application also provides a cleaning robot base station, comprising:

[0022] Base station body;

[0023] A dust collecting component, the dust collecting component comprising:

[0024] A mounting member, provided on the base station body;

[0025] A dust collecting module, wherein the dust collecting module is movably connected to the mounting member along a first direction; the first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to an outward extension direction of the dust collecting module relative to the mounting member;

[0026] The dust collection module is configured as follows: after being subjected to an abutment force exerted on the dust collection module by the cleaning robot during its movement toward the dust collection module, the dust collection module moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collection module and the cleaning robot can dock under the action of the abutment force, so as to collect dirt transferred by the cleaning robot when reaching the docking position.

[0027] The present application also provides a cleaning robot system, comprising:

[0028] Base station body;

[0029] Cleaning robots;

[0030] A dust collecting component, the dust collecting component comprising:

[0031] A mounting member, provided on the base station body;

[0032] A dust collecting module, wherein the dust collecting module is movably connected to the mounting member along a first direction; the first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to an outward extension direction of the dust collecting module relative to the mounting member;

[0033] The dust collection module is configured as follows: after being subjected to an abutment force exerted on the dust collection module by the cleaning robot during its movement toward the dust collection module, the dust collection module moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collection module and the cleaning robot can dock under the action of the abutment force, so as to collect dirt transferred by the cleaning robot when reaching the docking position.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0035] The dust collection assembly provided by the present application includes: a mounting member for mounting on a base station body of a cleaning robot base station, a dust collection module, and the dust collection module is movably connected to the mounting member along a first direction, wherein the first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the outward extension direction of the dust collection module relative to the mounting member. The dust collection module is configured to: after receiving an abutment force on the dust collection module during the movement of the cleaning robot toward the dust collection module, under the action of the abutment force, the dust collection module moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collection module and the cleaning robot can dock, so as to collect dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot when reaching the docking position. The dust collection module decomposes the abutment force received into a power for driving the dust collection module to move along the first direction, so that the dust collection module adaptively moves to the docking position under the action of the power, thereby improving the docking accuracy of the dust port. At the same time, based on the decomposition of the abutment force received by the dust collection module, the impact on the base station body can be reduced, thereby maintaining the stable operation of the base station body.

[0036] In addition, the width of the guide collision plate in the dust collection module gradually narrows from the first end to the opposite second end. For example, the guide collision plate is a trapezoidal structure. In this way, the end of the guide collision plate (i.e., the second end) is narrower and the connecting end (i.e., the first end) is wider. The wheel hubs on both sides of the cleaning robot can enter the guide collision plate from both sides of the narrower second end of the guide collision plate. The relatively narrow guide collision plate can be easily inserted between the wheel hubs on both sides of the cleaning robot, so that the cleaning robot gradually drives the dust collection module to the docking position during the movement toward the base station body. This can effectively prevent the cleaning robot from being unable to align with the guide collision plate and unable to complete the docking, thereby preventing the cleaning robot from directly colliding with the base station body connected to the guide collision plate.

[0037] In addition, guide wheels are provided on both sides of the guide impact plate, which can not only prevent the cleaning robot from directly colliding with the guide impact plate when it contacts the guide impact plate, but also can prevent the soft tires of the cleaning robot from being excessively squeezed and stuck with the guide impact plate, thereby making the guiding function smoother and reducing the damage of the cleaning robot's tires to the guide impact plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the present application is described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from the following description. Therefore, based on the embodiments provided by the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the claims, description and drawings of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. The data used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including", "having" and their variants are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0050] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, cleaning robots are increasingly used in people's lives. Cleaning robots mainly include household cleaning robots and commercial cleaning robots. The two cleaning robots can be used in conjunction with the cleaning robot base station, that is, after the cleaning robot cleans the floor, the cleaning robot base station can automatically clean the cleaning robot, thereby reducing the manual cleaning of the cleaning robot by the user. Among them, when the commercial cleaning robot returns to the station and docks with the cleaning robot base station, due to its large weight and driving force, if the existing dust port alignment method is achieved by pre-setting the return station route, the cleaning robot base station will be deflected or tipped over due to the impact force, and the pre-set return station route cannot be adjusted in time, so that accurate docking cannot be achieved. In serious cases, the cleaning robot base station may be damaged, causing losses.

[0051] In order to solve the above problems, the first embodiment of the present application provides a dust collection component to solve the technical problem of inaccurate docking between the cleaning robot and the cleaning robot base station when the cleaning robot returns to the station in the prior art, thereby achieving accurate docking between the cleaning robot and the cleaning robot base station when the cleaning robot returns to the station, thereby improving the user experience. The present application also provides a cleaning robot base station and a cleaning robot system.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the dust collection assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a mounting member 100, which is used to be mounted on a base station body 300 of a cleaning robot base station (see Figure 6 ), the dust collecting module 200 is movably connected to the mounting member 100 along the first direction. The dust collecting module 200 is configured to: Figure 7 ) moves toward the dust collecting module 200 and exerts an abutting force on the dust collecting module 200. Under the action of the abutting force, the dust collecting module 200 moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collecting module 200 and the cleaning robot 400 can dock, so as to collect dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 when reaching the docking position. The first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the outward extension direction of the dust collecting module 200 relative to the mounting member 100. The dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 includes dust and debris.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the dust collection module 200 includes: a guide collision plate 210, and a first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the mounting member 100 along a first direction. A dust collection chamber 220 is formed in the guide collision plate 210, and the dust collection chamber 220 includes a dust suction port 230. The guide collision plate 210 is used to move along the first direction to a docking position where the dust suction port 230 docks with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400 under the action of the abutment force on the guide collision plate 210 during the movement of the cleaning robot 400 toward the guide collision plate 210, so that the dust suction port 230 docks with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400, and the dirt collected by the cleaning robot 400 is transferred to the dust collection chamber 220.

[0054] The cross section of the guide collision plate 210 is trapezoidal in shape, and the width of the guide collision plate 210 gradually narrows from the first end 2110 to the opposite second end 2120. The guide collision plate 210 is used to make the two side hubs 410 of the cleaning robot 400 respectively located on both sides of the guide collision plate 210 for movement, so that the cleaning robot 400 abuts against the side edge 2130 of the guide collision plate 210 during the movement toward the guide collision plate 210, so as to drive the guide collision plate 210 to move along the first direction, wherein, based on Figure 6 The first direction of the base station body 300 is the horizontal direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the outward extension direction of the dust collection module 200 relative to the mounting member 100, specifically the horizontal left and right direction based on the base station body 300 in the figure, and the dust collection module 200 in the figure extends backward relative to the mounting member 100. Further, the width of the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210 is smaller than the spacing between the two side hubs 410 of the cleaning robot 400, so that the two side hubs 410 of the cleaning robot 400 can enter from the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210, that is, in the process of the cleaning robot 400 driving toward the guide collision plate 210, the cleaning robot 400 drives from the second end 2120 with a narrower width to the first end 2110 with a wider width.

[0055] The guide collision plate 210 is set to be a trapezoidal shape with a width gradually widening from its second end 2120 to the opposite first end 2110. This is not only to allow the cleaning robot 400 to move on the guide collision plate 210, but also to allow the two sides of the guide collision plate 210 with a gradually widening width to limit the movement of the cleaning robot 400. That is, when the cleaning robot 400 is moving along the guide collision plate 210, the distance between the wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400 will gradually approach the width of the guide collision plate 210, so that the cleaning robot 400 is limited to stop moving after traveling a certain distance, thereby preventing the cleaning robot 400 from colliding with the structure connected to the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 (the structure in this embodiment is the base station body 300).

[0056] The guide collision plate 210 has a force release function. Specifically, when the cleaning robot 400 abuts against the guide collision plate 210, an impact force or a squeezing force is provided to the guide collision plate 210. The impact force causes the cleaning robot 400 to directly collide with the guide collision plate 210, so that the guide collision plate 210 is subjected to the impact force of the cleaning robot 400. The squeezing force is generated by squeezing the wheel hub 410 of the cleaning robot 400 and the side 2130 of the guide collision plate 210, so that the guide collision plate 210 is subjected to the squeezing force of the cleaning robot 400. After the guide collision plate 210 is subjected to the impact force or the squeezing force, the impact force or the squeezing force is decomposed into at least a power for driving the guide collision plate 210 to slide along the mounting member 100 in a first direction, and a squeezing force in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. When the guide collision plate 210 is connected to the cleaning robot base station through the mounting member 100, the decomposed power drives the guide collision plate 210 to move in the first direction, and realizes the force release function by displacement work, thereby reducing the impact force or extrusion force of the cleaning robot 400 on the cleaning robot base station, thereby reducing the direct damage of the cleaning robot 400 to the cleaning robot base station. The extrusion force in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction is the decomposed impact force or extrusion force, and the extrusion force in the second direction is low, and will not cause impact on the cleaning robot base station.

[0057] The guide collision plate 210 has a dust collecting function. Specifically, a dust collecting chamber 220 is formed in the guide collision plate 210. The dust collecting chamber 220 is arranged inside the guide collision plate 210 and is in a closed state inside the guide collision plate 210. In order to collect the dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 into the dust collecting chamber 220, the dust collecting chamber 220 includes a dust suction port 230, and the dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 is introduced into the dust collecting chamber 220 through the dust suction port 230. In an embodiment of the present application, the dust suction port 230 of the dust collecting chamber 220 is specifically located at the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210. When the cleaning robot 400 abuts against the guide collision plate 210, the cleaning robot 400 drives in from the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210, and then the dust suction port 230 of the dust collecting chamber 220 is preferentially set at the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210, so that when the cleaning robot 400 docks with the guide collision plate 210, the dirt sucked in by the cleaning robot 400 is directly introduced into the dust collecting chamber 220 of the guide collision plate 210.

[0058] In one example, the number of the dust collection ports 230 of the dust collection chamber 220 may be one or two. Of course, the number of other dust collection ports does not limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] In one example, the dust collecting chamber 220 may further include a filter screen, the lower layer of the filter screen is used to collect liquid dirt, and the upper layer of the filter screen is used to collect solid dirt, so as to achieve dry and wet classification collection of dirt.

[0060] In one example, the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210 where the dust suction port 230 is located is set as an inclined end, and the end face of the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210 where the dust suction port 230 is located is set as an inclined end face, and the slope of the inclined end face gradually rises along the driving direction of the cleaning robot 400, and forms an intersection with the horizontal end face of the guide collision plate 210, and the intersection is used to limit the setting position of the dust suction port 230 of the guide collision plate 210. Optionally, a positioning member can be provided at the intersection of the guide collision plate 210, and the positioning member includes a positioning panel or a positioning protrusion. The positioning member is positioned with the auxiliary part of the cleaning robot 400, so as to determine that the dust suction port 230 of the positioning guide collision plate 210 is located at the docking position when docking with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400.

[0061] Optionally, in one example, determining whether the suction port 230 of the guide collision plate 210 is located at the docking position when docking with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400 can also be achieved in the following manner. Specifically, based on the guide collision plate 210 being set to a trapezoidal shape with a width gradually widening from its second end 2120 to the opposite first end 2110, and the cleaning robot 400 can travel along the guide collision plate 210, a structural component matching the guide collision plate 210 can be set on the cleaning robot 400. When the structural component is docked with the guide collision plate, the suction port 230 of the guide collision plate 210 is accurately docked with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400. It should be noted that when setting the morphological structure of the structural component, the morphological structure of the structural component can be set according to the position of the guide collision plate 210 when the suction port 230 of the guide collision plate 210 and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400 are located at the docking position.

[0062] Optionally, the guide collision plate 210 also has a transmission function. Specifically, the dust collecting chamber 220 provided inside the guide collision plate 210 is in a through-state, and one end of the dust collecting chamber 220 is provided with a dust suction port 230, and the dust suction port 230 is located at the second end 2120 of the guide collision. The other end of the dust collecting chamber 220 is provided with a connecting port (not shown), and the connecting port of the dust collecting chamber 220 is connected to the base station body 300 (see Figure 6 ) is connected to a dust box (not shown) of the base station body 300, and the dirt collected by the cleaning robot 400 is transferred to the dust box of the base station body 300 through the dust collecting chamber 220 at the suction port 230.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the cleaning robot 400 from directly colliding with the guide collision plate 210, the dust collection module 200 further includes: a plurality of guide wheels 240, which are respectively arranged on the opposite sides 2130 between the first end 2110 and the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210, and the plurality of guide wheels 240 of each side 2130 are arranged side by side along the extension direction of the side 2130, and the circumferential end surface of each guide wheel 240 protrudes from the side end surface 2140 of the side 2130. The arrangement of the guide wheels 240 can prevent the cleaning robot 400 from directly colliding with the guide collision plate 210, and the soft tire of the cleaning robot 400 is excessively squeezed and stuck with the guide collision plate 210, so that the guiding function is smoother and the damage to the tire by the guide collision plate 210 is reduced.

[0064] Optionally, the plurality of guide wheels 240 of each side 2130 are arranged side by side on the upper end surface 2150 and / or the lower end surface of the side 2130 along the extension direction of the side 2130. In this embodiment, each guide wheel 240 is arranged on the side 2130 of the guide collision plate 210 via a rotating shaft to realize the rotation of the guide wheel 240. The arrangement of the plurality of guide wheels 240 can reduce the resistance of the cleaning robot 400 to the collision of the guide collision plate 210, thereby making the guiding function smoother.

[0065] Optionally, the plurality of guide wheels 240 of each side 2130 are arranged side by side on the side end surface 2140 of the side 2130 along the extension direction of the side 2130, and the circumferential end surfaces of the plurality of guide wheels 240 constitute the side end surface 2140 of the side 2130. Specifically, the side 2130 of the guide collision plate 210 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves arranged side by side, the shape of the receiving grooves is adapted to the guide wheels 240, and the guide wheels 240 are installed in the corresponding receiving grooves and can rotate in the receiving grooves. The arrangement of the plurality of guide wheels 240 can make the guiding function smoother while reducing the damage to the wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400.

[0066] Optionally, the circumferential end surface of the guide wheel 240 is set as a flexible end surface, and the guide wheel 240 with the flexible end surface can reduce the impact of the cleaning robot 400 on the guide collision plate 210.

[0067] Of course, in other examples, the dust collecting module 200 further includes guide grooves (not shown), which are respectively arranged on the opposite sides 2130 between the first end 2110 and the second end 2120 of the guide collision plate 210, and the guide grooves of each side 2130 are arranged side by side along the extension direction of the side 2130, and the guide end surface of the guide groove protrudes from the side end surface 2140 of the side 2130. The setting of the guide groove can prevent the cleaning robot 400 and the guide collision plate 210 from being excessively squeezed and stuck by the soft tire of the cleaning robot 400 and the guide collision plate 210 when the cleaning robot 400 directly collides with the guide collision plate 210, thereby making the guiding function smoother and reducing the damage of the tire to the guide collision plate 210.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide impact plate 210 is moved through the mounting member 100 and accurately docked with the cleaning robot 400. Specifically, the wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400 are squeezed with the guide impact plate 210 to generate an extrusion force, and the extrusion force is decomposed through the guide impact plate 210 into a power for driving the guide impact plate 210 and a part of the extrusion force perpendicular to the power. The force value of the extrusion force perpendicular to the power is small and will not affect the docking accuracy between the dust suction port 230 and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400. Under the action of the power, the guide impact plate 210 adaptively slides to the docking position through the mounting member 100, thereby improving the docking accuracy of the dust outlet.

[0069] Wherein, the mounting member 100 is a guide rail 110, and the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110. Specifically, in one example, the guide rail 110 is distributed along the first direction, and can be specifically distributed on the base station body 300. The first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is directly slidably connected to the guide rail 110, so that the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110. In another example, the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is set to a guide groove adapted to the guide rail 110, and is slidably connected to the guide rail 110 through the guide groove. In another example, a slider 120 is provided between the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 and the guide rail 110, and the slider 120 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110, and the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is connected to the slider 120, so that the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110 through the slider 120.

[0070] In order to prevent the slider 120 from falling off the guide rail 110 while sliding on the guide rail 110, limiting members (not shown) are provided at both ends of the guide rail 110. The limiting members include limiting blocks or limiting balls. When the first end 2110 of the guide impact plate 210 drives the slider 120 to slide to the position of the limiting member, the slider 120 is limited by the limiting member, thereby preventing the guide impact plate 210 from falling off the guide rail 110.

[0071] Optionally, the mounting member 100 is a linear bearing 140, and the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 slides through the linear bearing 140. Specifically, a guide shaft 130 is also provided, and the guide shaft 130 is distributed along the first direction. The linear bearing 140 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 130. The connecting seat 150 is integrally formed with the linear bearing 140 and connected to the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210, so that the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 130. Of course, in order to prevent the linear bearing 140 from falling off the guide shaft 130 during the sliding process on the guide shaft 130, limiting members (not shown) are provided at both ends of the guide shaft 130. The limiting member includes a limiting block or a limiting ball. When the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 drives the linear bearing 140 to slide to the limiting member position, it is limited by the limiting member, thereby preventing the guide collision plate 210 from being separated from the guide shaft 130.

[0072] Optionally, the mounting member 100 is a guide slot (not shown), and the first end 2110 of the guide striker 210 is slidably connected to the guide slot. In order to prevent the first end 2110 of the guide striker 210 from falling off the guide slot during the sliding process on the guide slot, a limiting member (not shown) is provided at both ends of the guide slot. The limiting member includes a limiting block or a limiting ball. When the first end 2110 of the guide striker 210 slides to the limiting member position, it is limited by the limiting member, thereby preventing the guide striker 210 from falling off the guide slot.

[0073] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mounting member 100 can be installed on the base station body 300 of the cleaning robot base station, so that when the wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400 are squeezed with the guide collision plate 210, the squeezing force is decomposed into the power to drive the guide collision plate 210 and part of the squeezing force perpendicular to the power through the guide collision plate 210. The squeezing force perpendicular to the power is small and will not affect the docking accuracy between the dust suction port 230 and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400. Under the action of the power, the guide collision plate 210 adaptively slides to the docking position through the mounting member 100 to improve the docking accuracy of the dust outlet. At the same time, it prevents the direct collision between the cleaning robot 400 and the base station body 300, and reduces the direct damage to the base station body 300 when the cleaning robot 400 returns to the station.

[0074] Based on the fact that the mounting member 100 can be mounted on the base station body 300 of the cleaning robot base station, corresponding to the various structures included in the mounting member 100, each structure can be mounted on the base station body 300 of the cleaning robot base station as follows:

[0075] The mounting member 100 is a guide rail 110, which is arranged on the base station body 300 along a first direction, the first direction being a horizontal direction, and specifically Figure 6The horizontal left and right directions of the base station body 300 are based on the horizontal left and right directions of the base station body 300. A slider 120 is provided between the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 and the guide rail 110, and the slider 120 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110. The first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is connected to the slider 120, so that the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110 through the slider 120, so that the guide collision plate 210 moves relative to the base station body 300 along the first direction. The limiting member can be provided at both ends of the guide rail 110, or on the base station body 300 opposite to the two ends of the guide rail 110.

[0076] The mounting member 100 is a linear bearing 140, the guide shaft 130 is distributed along the first direction on the base station body 300, the linear bearing 140 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 130, the connecting seat 150 is integrally formed with the linear bearing 140, and is connected to the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210, so that the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 130, so that the guide collision plate 210 moves relative to the base station body 300 along the first direction. The limiting member can be provided at both ends of the guide shaft 130, or on the base station body 300 opposite to the two ends of the guide shaft 130.

[0077] The mounting member 100 is a guide slot, which is distributed along a first direction on the base station body 300 , and the first end 2110 of the guide collision plate 210 is slidably connected in the guide slot.

[0078] In addition, the mounting member 100 and the base station body 300 are assembled in a detachable connection, so that the guide collision plate 210 can be indirectly disassembled from the base station body 300. Of course, the mounting member 100 and the guide collision plate 210 can also be assembled in a detachable connection, so that the guide collision plate 210 can be disassembled from the base station body 300, so that the dust collecting chamber 220 of the guide collision plate 210 is full of dirt, and the guide collision plate 210 can be disassembled in time to clean the dirt in the dust collecting chamber 220.

[0079] An embodiment of the present application provides a dust collection component, in which the dust collection module 200 decomposes the abutment force of the cleaning robot 400 into power for driving the dust collection module 200, so that the dust collection module 200 adaptively slides to a docking position through the mounting member 100 under the action of the power, thereby improving the docking accuracy of the dust port.

[0080] Corresponding to the dust collection component provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the second embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning robot base station equipped with the dust collection component provided in the first embodiment.

[0081] like Figure 6As shown, the cleaning robot base station provided by the second embodiment of the present application includes: a base station body 300, a dust collection component, and the dust collection component includes: a mounting member 100, which is arranged on the base station body 300. A dust collection module 200, the dust collection module 200 is movably connected to the mounting member 100 along a first direction, and the first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the outward extension direction of the dust collection module 200 relative to the mounting member 100. The dust collection module 200 is configured to: after receiving an abutment force on the dust collection module 200 during the movement of the cleaning robot 400 toward the dust collection module 200, under the action of the abutment force, the dust collection module 200 moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collection module 200 and the cleaning robot 400 can dock, so as to collect the dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 when reaching the docking position.

[0082] The base station body 300 is provided with an integrated control module and other necessary functional modules (such as a charging pile module, etc.). The integrated control module is the control center of the base station body 300, and the charging pile module is used to charge the cleaning robot 400. The base station body 300 may also be provided with a dust box (not shown) for collecting dirt transmitted by the dust collection module 200.

[0083] The mounting member 100 is arranged on the base station body 300 along the first direction, and the dust collection module 200 is movably connected to the mounting member 100 along the first direction. The wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400 abut against the dust collection module 200, and the abutting force is decomposed into the power of driving the guide impact plate 210 and part of the extrusion force perpendicular to the power through the guide impact plate 210. The extrusion force perpendicular to the power is small and will not affect the docking accuracy between the dust suction port 230 and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400. Under the action of the power, the guide impact plate 210 adaptively slides to the docking position through the mounting member 100, thereby improving the docking accuracy of the dust port while avoiding the problems of deflection, tipping, damage, etc. of the cleaning robot base station when the cleaning robot 400 returns to the station.

[0084] Corresponding to the dust collection component provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the third embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning robot system equipped with the dust collection component provided in the first embodiment.

[0085] like Figure 7As shown, the cleaning robot system provided by the third embodiment of the present application includes: a base station body 300, a cleaning robot 400, and a dust collection component, wherein the dust collection component includes: a mounting member 100, which is arranged on the base station body 300, and a dust collection module 200, wherein the dust collection module 200 is movably connected to the mounting member 100 along a first direction, and the first direction is a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the outward extension direction of the dust collection module 200 relative to the mounting member 100. The dust collection module 200 is configured to: after receiving an abutment force on the dust collection module 200 during the movement of the cleaning robot 400 toward the dust collection module 200, under the action of the abutment force, the dust collection module 200 moves along the first direction to a docking position where the dust collection module 200 and the cleaning robot 400 can dock, so as to collect the dirt transmitted by the cleaning robot 400 when reaching the docking position.

[0086] Among them, the base station body 300 is provided with an integrated control module and other necessary functional modules (such as a recharging pile module, etc.). The integrated control module is the control center of the base station body 300, and the recharging pile module is used to charge the cleaning robot 400. The base station body 300 can also be provided with a dust box (not shown) for collecting dirt transmitted by the dust collection module 200. The mounting member 100 is arranged on the base station body 300 along the first direction, and the dust collection module 200 is movably connected to the mounting member 100 along the first direction.

[0087] The cleaning robot 400 is used to clean the dirt on the ground (mainly including dust and debris, etc.). After the cleaning robot 400 has cleaned the ground, it moves to the position of the dust collection module 200, and the wheel hubs 410 on both sides of the cleaning robot 400 abut against the dust collection module 200. The abutting force is decomposed into the power of driving the guide impact plate 210 and part of the extrusion force perpendicular to the power through the guide impact plate 210. The force value of the extrusion force perpendicular to the power is small and will not affect the docking accuracy between the dust suction port 230 and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400. Under the action of the power, the guide impact plate 210 adaptively slides to the docking position through the mounting part 100. When in the docking position, it docks with the dust suction port 230 through the dust outlet of the cleaning robot 400, thereby transmitting the dirt collected by the cleaning robot 400 to the dust collection module 200. Alternatively, after the dirt collected by the cleaning robot 400 is transmitted to the dust collection module 200, the dirt collected by the dust collection module 200 is then transmitted to the dust collection box of the base station body 300 through the dust collection module 200. This embodiment improves the docking accuracy of the dust port and can also avoid problems such as deflection, tipping, and damage of the cleaning robot base station when the cleaning robot 400 returns to the station.
