[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a home mobile platform 100 and a cleaning system having the same. The home mobile platform 100 can cooperate with a cleaning robot 103, and the home object 102 can be set on the home mobile platform 100, and the home object 102 can be moved under the drive of the cleaning robot 103. The cleaning robot 103 can be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, or a sweeping and mopping robot. Among them, the home object 102 can be a cabinet, a camera, a dehumidifier, an aromatherapy device, or an air purifier. In this embodiment, the home object 102 is an air purifier. In other embodiments, the home object 102 can also be a storage box, etc., which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3, the home mobile platform 100 includes a carrying platform 201, a movable support structure 101 and a detection mechanism 400. The carrying platform 201 is used to set the home objects 102, and the carrying platform 201 can be combined with the top of the cleaning robot 103. Driven by the cleaning robot 103, the carrying platform 201 can move with the cleaning robot 103, such as moving from the living room to the bedroom. The movable support structure 101 is connected to the bottom of the carrying platform 201, and the movable support structure 101 is used to support and drive the carrying platform 201 to move; the movable support structure 101 can be provided with rollers or track components, so that the home mobile platform 100 has mobility, which is convenient for the cleaning robot 103 to drive the home mobile platform 100 to slide, which can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cleaning robot 103 and reduce the driving force of the cleaning robot 103 on the home mobile platform 100. The detection mechanism 400 is arranged on the supporting platform 201, and the detection mechanism 400 can cooperate with the household object 102; wherein, when the household object 102 is collided by an external obstacle, the household object 102 moves relative to the supporting platform 201, and the detection mechanism 400 is triggered and transmits the triggering information to the cleaning robot 103 to make the cleaning robot 103 change the movement direction or moving path.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 It can be understood that by arranging the household object 102 on the carrying platform 201 of the household mobile platform 100, and the carrying platform 201 is provided with a detection mechanism 400, when the household object 102 is carried by the carrying platform 201 and the detection mechanism 400 is not triggered, the household object 102 is transported smoothly and the cleaning robot 103 moves smoothly along the set path; when the household mobile platform 100 is in motion, when the household object 102 triggers the detection mechanism 400, it indicates that the movement of the cleaning robot 103 along the set path is blocked, and the detection mechanism 400 transmits the triggering information to the cleaning robot 103, so that the cleaning robot 103 changes the movement direction or moving path.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 3 , the household mobile platform 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with the cleaning robot 103 to realize the transportation of household objects 102. The carrying platform 201 can be combined with the top of the cleaning robot 103 and moved under the drive of the cleaning robot 103, thereby realizing the flexible arrangement and movement of the household objects 102. The movable support structure 101 provides support and movement capabilities for the carrying platform 201, and the detection mechanism 400 can be triggered when the household object 102 is collided with an external obstacle, and transmit the trigger information to the cleaning robot 103, so that it changes the direction of movement or the moving path, which enables the cleaning robot 103 to effectively avoid obstacles and protect the household object 102 from being bumped or tipped over, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the transportation of the household object 102.

[0036] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the detection mechanism 400 includes an abutment member 41, which has an abutment portion 411. When the household object 102 is in a normal state, the abutment portion 411 abuts against the household object 102; when the household object 102 is collided with an external obstacle, the household object 102 moves relative to the supporting platform 201 and disengages from the abutment portion 411 so that the detection mechanism 400 is triggered, thereby accurately detecting the collision of the household object 102 and promptly transmitting the triggering information to the cleaning robot 103, so that it can respond quickly to avoid further collision and damage, thereby improving the sensitivity and response speed of the detection.

[0037] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the abutment portion 411 is retractable. When the household object 102 is in a normal state, the household object 102 abuts against the abutment portion 411 to make it in a retracted state. When the household object 102 is hit by an external obstacle, the household object 102 is separated from the abutment portion 411 to make it in an extended state.

[0038] See also Figures 4 to 5 Optionally, when the household object 102 is in a normal transportation state, the household object 102 can rely on its own gravity to press the abutment portion 411 to make it in a retracted state. At this time, the detection mechanism 400 is in an untriggered state; when the household object 102 is collided with an external obstacle or impacted by an external force, the household object 102 swings relative to the supporting platform 201 and disengages from the abutment portion 411, and the abutment portion 411 switches from a retracted state to an extended state, and at the same time and in a timely manner, the detection mechanism 400 is in a triggered state, thereby improving the sensitivity and reliability of the detection mechanism 400, and ensuring that when the household object 102 is collided, the detection mechanism 400 can be accurately and quickly triggered, thereby timely feeding back information and protecting the household object 102 and the cleaning robot 103 from being bumped or tipped over.

[0039] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the supporting platform 201 has a accommodating cavity 202, the detecting mechanism 400 is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity 202, the detecting mechanism 400 also includes an elastic member 42 connected to the abutting member 41, and the supporting platform 201 is also provided with a mounting hole 108 connected to the accommodating cavity 202, the elastic member 42 can drive the abutting member 41 to make the abutting portion 411 at least partially extend out at the mounting hole 108 to trigger the detecting mechanism 400, or the abutting member 41 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 42 under the pressure of the household object 102 to make the abutting portion 411 at least partially retract at the mounting hole 108.

[0040] Optionally, when the household object 102 is collided, the household object 102 is out of contact with the abutment portion 411, and the elastic member 42 can drive the abutment portion 411 to at least partially extend the abutment portion 411 at the mounting hole 108, and at the same time, the detection mechanism 400 is in a triggered state; and when the household object 102 is in a normal transportation process, the household object 102 can rely on its own gravity to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 42 to retract the abutment portion 41, and at this time, the detection mechanism 400 is in an untriggered state. By utilizing the elastic force of the elastic member 42, the automatic resetting and sensitive triggering of the abutment portion 41 are achieved, the accuracy and reliability of the detection mechanism 400 are improved, and false triggering is avoided.

[0041] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the carrying platform 201 has a boss 2011 that is arranged upward and for the receiving groove 1022 of the household object 102 to be installed, and the installation hole 108 is opened on the upper surface of the boss 2011.

[0042] See also Figures 4 to 5 Optionally, the accommodating groove 1022 is arranged at the lower end of the household object 102. Through the cooperation between the accommodating groove 1022 and the boss 2011, the household object 102 can be positioned on the carrying platform 201, and under the drive of the cleaning robot 103, the carrying platform 201 can drive the household object 102 to move together, and the household object 102 can also be pressed against the abutment 41 by its own gravity, which not only simplifies the positioning and connection process of the household object 102 and the carrying platform 201, but also ensures the accurate triggering of the detection mechanism 400.

[0043] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the detection mechanism 400 further includes a detection member 43 located in the accommodating cavity 202 , and when the abutting portion 411 is in the extended state, the abutting member 41 triggers the detection member 43 .

[0044] Optionally, by arranging a detection member 43 in the accommodating cavity 202, when the abutting portion 411 is in an extended state, the abutting portion 41 will trigger the detection member 43 and send the triggering information to the cleaning robot 103, and when the abutting portion 411 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 202, the detection member 43 is in an untriggered state, so that when the household object 102 is hit, it can be accurately sensed and information can be fed back in time, thereby ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the detection and improving the response speed.

[0045] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the detection member 43 is a micro switch 431 , and the micro switch 431 is provided with a spring piece 432 for the abutting member 41 to abut.

[0046] Optionally, the micro switch 431 is a mechanical contact switch that can complete the switch operation under very small physical pressure or action. When the force applied by the outside reaches a specific value, the switch contact quickly switches to achieve rapid disconnection and triggering. When the abutment 41 is in an extended state and abuts against the spring 432, the micro switch 431 will be triggered, that is, the detection mechanism 400 is in a triggered state. When the abutment 41 is in a retracted state, the abutment 41 is separated from the spring 432, and the detection mechanism 400 is in an untriggered state.

[0047] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, the abutment member 41 includes an abutment portion 411, a guide column 412 and a trigger portion 413 connected in sequence, the elastic member 42 is connected to or sleeved on the guide column 412, and when the abutment portion 411 at least partially extends out of the mounting hole 108, the trigger portion 413 abuts against and triggers the detection member 43.

[0048] Optionally, the abutment portion 411 and the trigger portion 413 are respectively located at two ends of the guide column 412, and the extension direction of the trigger portion 413 is staggered with the extension direction of the guide column 412, while the extension direction of the abutment portion 411 is substantially consistent with the extension direction of the guide column 412. The elastic member 42 is connected or sleeved on the guide column 412, and when the abutment portion 411 extends out of the mounting hole 108, the trigger portion 413 abuts against and triggers the detection member 43, so that the detection mechanism 400 can be quickly placed in a triggered state when the household object 102 is hit, thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection.

[0049] See also Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments, a stop portion 52 is protruding from the hole wall of the mounting hole 108, and a limiting portion 51 that can cooperate with the stop portion 52 is protruding from the abutment 41. When the abutment 41 is in the extended state, the stop portion 52 abuts against the limiting portion 51 to prevent the abutment 411 from detaching from the supporting platform 201, which effectively prevents the abutment 41 from detaching from the supporting platform 201 due to accidents during use, thereby improving the stability and safety of the detection mechanism 400.

[0050] See also Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the detection mechanism 400 includes a front detection mechanism 401 and a rear detection mechanism 402, which are arranged on the carrying platform 201 at intervals along the moving direction of the movable supporting structure 101, and the front detection mechanism 401 is used to be triggered when the household object 102 is collided with a front obstacle, and the rear detection mechanism 402 is used to be triggered when the household object 102 is collided with a rear obstacle.

[0051] Optionally, when the cleaning robot 103 is mopping or sweeping the floor normally according to the set path, the forward direction is the front direction, and the direction opposite to the front direction is the rear direction. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 When a household object is hit by an obstacle in front, the front detection mechanism 401 is triggered, so that the cleaning robot 103 can change its moving path according to the triggered information; when a household object is hit by an obstacle in the back, the rear detection mechanism 402 is triggered, so that the cleaning robot 103 can change its moving path according to the triggered information, thereby improving the all-round detection capability of the household mobile platform 100, being able to more comprehensively protect the household object 102, and enhancing the safety and adaptability of the system.

[0052] See also Figure 6 The present invention also proposes a cleaning system, which includes a household mobile platform 100. The specific structure of the household mobile platform 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since the cleaning system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
