However, the dirty clothes basket with the collected clothes is heavy, which makes it difficult to carry the dirty clothes basket. In the prior art, a roller is provided at the bottom of the dirty clothes basket to facilitate the carrying of the dirty clothes basket, but the user still needs to carry the dirty clothes basket manually, which brings inconvenience to the user.

[0047] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 A movable platform 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the movable platform 1 according to the present invention includes: a bearing part 10, a main body part 20 and a locking part 30, the main body part 20 is connected to the bearing part 10 and a storage cavity 21 is formed inside the main body part 20, the locking part 30 is connected to the bearing part 10, and the locking part 30 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking part 30 is suitable for being fixed to the driving device to drive the bearing part 10 to move under the drive of the driving device, and in the unlocked state, the locking part 30 is suitable for being unlocked and separated from the driving device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the movable platform 1 of the present application can be constructed as a dirty clothes basket, and a storage cavity 21 suitable for accommodating clothes is formed in the main body 20, the bearing part 10 is connected to the main body 20 and the bearing part 10 is connected to the locking part 30, the locking part 30 has a locked state and an unlocked state, in the locked state, the locking part 30 cooperates with and is fixed to the driving device, thereby, the driving device can drive the locking part 30 to move when moving, that is, the driving device can drive the bearing part 10 and the main body 20 to move, in the unlocked state, the locking part 30 releases the cooperation with the driving device to separate the locking part 30 from the driving device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the driving device is provided with a motion path, and the movable platform 1 is provided on the motion path. When the driving device moves to the movable platform 1 along the motion path, the driving device can drive the locking portion 30 to switch from an unlocked state to a locked state to fix the driving device and the locking portion 30. At this time, the driving device continues to move along the motion path and drives the movable platform 1 to move. It is worth mentioning that a target location can be set on the motion path. When the driving device drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target location, the driving device drives the locking portion 30 to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state. At this time, the driving device is separated from the locking portion 30, and the driving device continues to move along the motion path.

[0051] In some embodiments, the driving device can be constructed as a sweeping robot 2, which is provided with a motion path. The sweeping robot 2 can move along the motion path and clean the room. The dirty clothes basket placed in the bathroom or bedroom and containing collected clothes is set in the motion path of the sweeping robot 2. The position of the washing machine is constructed as a target location and is set in the motion path of the sweeping robot 2. Therefore, when the sweeping robot 2 is working, the sweeping robot 2 moves along the motion path to the dirty clothes basket and drives the locking part 30 to switch to a locked state. At this time, the sweeping robot 2 is fixed to the locking part 30 and drives the dirty clothes basket to move along the motion path. When the sweeping robot 2 moves to the position of the washing machine, the sweeping robot 2 drives the locking part 30 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state and separates from the dirty clothes basket. Subsequently, the sweeping robot 2 continues to move along the motion path and clean the room.

[0052] According to the movable platform 1 involved in the present invention, a locking portion 30 is provided on the bearing portion 10, and the locking portion 30 has a locked state and an unlocked state. Therefore, when the driving device moves, it can be fixed with the locking portion 30 and drive the movable platform 1 to move. When the driving device drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target location, it is separated from the locking portion 30, thereby avoiding the user from manually carrying the movable platform 1, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a receiving cavity 11 suitable for receiving the driving device is formed in the bearing portion 10, and a locking portion 30 is arranged on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. In some embodiments, a receiving cavity 11 is formed in the bearing portion 10, and a locking portion 30 is arranged on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The driving device moves into the receiving cavity 11 and is fixed with the locking portion 30 so that the movable platform 1 can move with the driving device. It can be understood that the driving device is accommodated in the receiving cavity 11, which can reduce the volume and floor space of the driving device when combined with the movable platform 1, and improve the mobility and passability of the driving device after being combined with the movable platform 1.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the locking portion 30 includes: a mounting bracket 31 and a connecting bracket 32, the mounting bracket 31 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11, one end of the connecting bracket 32 ​​is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 31 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the other end of the connecting bracket 32 ​​is provided with a locking member 33 suitable for cooperating with a driving device; wherein the position of the locking member 33 in the locked state is lower than the position of the locking member 33 in the unlocked state so as to be suitable for connecting with the driving device.

[0055] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket 31 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the mounting bracket 31 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting bracket 32. A locking member 33 is provided at one end of the connecting bracket 32. The connecting bracket 32 ​​is rotated to switch the locking portion 30 between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the connecting bracket 32 ​​is rotated to the unlocked state, the locking member 33 is in a first position. When the connecting bracket 32 ​​is rotated to the locked state, the locking member 33 is in a second position. The height of the first position is higher than the height of the second position.

[0056] In some embodiments, the driving device is provided with a mating portion, and the mating portion can be constructed as a mating groove 40 open toward the main body 20, which is not limited here. When the driving device moves to the position of the movable platform 1, the mating portion contacts the locking member 33 and as the driving device moves, the mating portion continues to move toward the locking member 33 and drives the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate. When the connecting bracket 32 ​​rotates to a locked state, the mating portion is fixed to the locking member 33. At this time, the driving device can drive the movable device to move. The mating method between the driving device and the locking portion 30 is simple, and the driving device and the movable platform 1 are more intelligent, which improves the user experience.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the movable platform 1 also includes: a ratchet and a pawl, one of the ratchet and the pawl is arranged on the connecting bracket 32, and the other of the ratchet and the pawl is arranged on the mounting bracket 31, and the ratchet and the pawl cooperate to be suitable for the connecting bracket 32 ​​to switch between an unlocked state and a locked state relative to the mounting bracket 31.

[0058] In some embodiments, a ratchet is provided on the connecting bracket 32, and a pawl is provided on the mounting bracket 31, and the ratchet cooperates with the pawl. When the unlocked state is switched to the locked state, the ratchet follows the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate so that the teeth of the ratchet cooperate with the pawl. At this time, the connecting bracket 32 ​​is in the second position. When the locked state is switched to the unlocked state, the connecting bracket 32 ​​continues to rotate toward the mounting bracket 31, and the ratchet follows the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate and causes the teeth of the ratchet to disengage from the cooperation with the pawl. At this time, the connecting bracket 32 ​​is in the first position; in other embodiments, a pawl is provided on the connecting bracket 32, and a ratchet is provided on the mounting bracket 31. When the unlocked state is switched to the locked state, the pawl follows the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate so that the pawl cooperates with the teeth of the ratchet. At this time, the connecting bracket 32 ​​is in the second position. When the locked state is switched to the unlocked state, the connecting bracket 32 ​​continues to rotate toward the mounting bracket 31, and the pawl follows the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate and causes the pawl to disengage from the cooperation with the teeth of the ratchet. At this time, the connecting bracket 32 ​​is in the first position. It is worth mentioning that the cross-section of the ratchet can be configured as a circle or a sector, which is not limited here.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the movable platform 1 further includes: a reset member, which is connected between the connecting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting bracket 31 to drive the connecting bracket 32 ​​to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state. It can be understood that the reset member is suitable for driving the connecting bracket 32 ​​to move in a direction away from the mounting bracket 31, whereby the driving device drives the movable device to move to the target location, and after the driving device drives the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate and causes the pawl to disengage from the teeth of the ratchet, the reset member can drive the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate and keep the locking member 33 in the first position, which facilitates the next fixation of the driving device with the locking member 33, and at the same time can prevent the user from manually manipulating the locking member 33 to reset to the first position.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 33 is rotatably arranged at the end of the connecting bracket 32. It can be understood that the driving device drives the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate through the locking member 33 to switch the locking portion 30 between the unlocked state and the locked state. When the connecting bracket 32 ​​rotates, friction will be generated between the locking member 33 and the driving device. Therefore, through the above arrangement, when the connecting bracket 32 ​​rotates, the locking member 33 can rotate accordingly, avoiding friction between the driving device and the locking member 33, so that the cooperation between the driving device and the locking member 33 is smoother and faster.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 33 is configured to be cylindrical, and the pivot axis of the locking member 33 is parallel to the pivot axis of the connecting bracket 32 ​​.

[0062] In some embodiments, the shape of the locking member 33 can be cylindrical, spherical or other irregular shapes, etc., as long as the locking member 33 can be rotatable relative to the connecting bracket 32. Here, the shape of the locking member 33 is preferably cylindrical. At this time, the pivot axis of the locking member 33 is parallel to the pivot axis of the connecting bracket 32. It can be understood that the friction between the cylindrical locking member 33 and the driving device is smaller, which improves the convenience of cooperation between the driving device and the locking member 33.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the carrying portion 10 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 20 and / or at least a portion of the periphery of the main body 20 .

[0064] In some embodiments, the bearing portion 10 can be disposed on the periphery of the main body 20; in other embodiments, the bearing portion 10 can be disposed at the bottom of the main body 20; in other embodiments, the bearing portion 10 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 20, and at least part of the bearing portion 10 is located on the periphery of the main body 20, which is not limited here.

[0065] In some embodiments, the bearing portion 10 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 20, and the bearing portion 10 includes: a first plate body, a second plate body and a third plate body, the first plate body and the second plate body are spaced apart in the length direction and both extend in the width direction, the third plate body extends in the length direction, and both ends of the third plate body in the length direction are respectively connected to the same side ends of the first plate body and the second plate body in the width direction, and the locking portion 30 is disposed on the first plate body, the second plate body and / or the third plate body, and there is no limitation here.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, at least part of the projection of the main body 20 in the height direction is located in the accommodating cavity 11. In some embodiments, the bearing portion 10 is arranged at the bottom of the main body 20, and the projection of the main body 20 in the height direction overlaps at least partly with the projection of the accommodating cavity 11 in the height direction. Thus, the above arrangement can make the footprint of the movable platform 1 smaller, and at the same time, the mobile flexibility and passability after the driving device is combined with the movable platform 1 are higher.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the main body 20 is detachably connected to the bearing portion 10. It can be understood that the accommodating cavity 11 formed in the main body 20 can be used to store clothes. Of course, the main body 20 can be separated from the bearing portion 10 and the bearing portion 10 can be connected to other devices. Thus, the driving device can drive other devices to move through the bearing portion 10, thereby improving the applicability of the movable platform 1.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the main body 20 is provided with an air hole 22 connected to the storage cavity 21. It can be understood that the air hole 22 can connect the storage cavity 21 with the outside, thereby improving the air permeability of the storage cavity 21. In some embodiments, the storage cavity 21 is suitable for storing clothes. The air hole 22 can allow the clothes stored in the storage cavity 21 to contact with the outside air, thereby preventing the clothes in the storage cavity 21 from breeding bacteria or stinking due to poor air circulation.

[0069] The transport assembly according to the present invention is briefly described below.

[0070] The transport component according to the present invention includes a driving device and a movable platform 1. The movable platform 1 is constructed as the movable platform 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the transport component according to the present invention is provided with the movable platform 1 described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the transport component has a high degree of intelligence and can enhance the customer experience.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 7As shown, the driving device is constructed as a sweeping robot 2. It can be understood that the sweeping robot 2 can drive the movable platform 1 to move to the target location when cleaning the room, avoiding the user from manually moving the movable platform 1, thereby improving the user experience and enriching the functions of the sweeping robot 2.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, a mating groove 40 open toward the main body 20 is provided on one side of the driving device, and the mating groove 40 is suitable for accommodating the locking member 33 of the locking portion 30. It can be understood that when the driving device cooperates with the locking portion 30, the mating groove 40 first moves to the bottom of the locking member 33, and then the locking member 33 stops at the side wall of the driving device, and as the driving device continues to move, the side wall of the driving device can drive the connecting bracket 32 ​​to rotate through the locking member 33 so that the locking member 33 is accommodated in the mating groove 40. When the connecting bracket 32 ​​rotates to the second position, the locking portion 30 is in a locked state, and the connecting bracket 32 ​​is fixed relative to the mounting bracket 31. Since the locking member 33 is accommodated in the mating groove 40, the driving device and the locking portion 30 are fixed. At this time, the driving device can drive the movable platform 1 to move.

[0073] The control method of the driving device according to the present invention is briefly described below.

[0074] According to the control method of the driving device of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0075] S1, obtaining a first instruction and the position of the movable platform 1 and a target position.

[0076] The control method of the driving device of the present application is applicable to the driving device of the above-mentioned embodiment. It can be understood that the driving device can be constructed as a sweeping robot 2. The sweeping robot 2 works after obtaining the first instruction. The sweeping robot 2 moves and cleans the direction when working. At the same time, the sweeping robot 2 obtains the position information of the movable platform 1 and the target position information.

[0077] S2, the driving device moves to the position of the movable platform 1 according to the first instruction and locks with the movable platform 1.

[0078] It can be understood that after the sweeping robot 2 obtains the first instruction, it moves toward the position of the movable platform 1. When the sweeping robot 2 moves to the position of the movable platform 1, it locks with the locking part 30. At this time, the sweeping robot 2 is fixed to the movable platform 1 and the sweeping robot 2 can drive the movable platform 1 to move.

[0079] S3, the driving device drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target position and separate.

[0080] It is understandable that after the cleaning robot 2 drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target position, the cleaning robot 2 separates from the movable platform 1 .

[0081] In some embodiments, the sweeping robot 2 starts from the base station after obtaining the first instruction, the position information of the movable platform 1 and the target position information. When the sweeping robot 2 drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target position and separates from the movable platform 1, the sweeping robot 2 can continue to clean the room, and the sweeping robot 2 can return to the base station after cleaning the room; or after the sweeping robot 2 drives the movable platform 1 to move to the target position and separates from the movable platform 1, the sweeping robot 2 directly returns to the base station.
