[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, an adjustable cleaner for MR devices includes: Sensor module: Responsible for detecting the concentration and distribution of dust on the surface of the head-mounted display 7; Processing module: Responsible for analyzing the data detected by sensors and modules to determine cleaning requirements and locations; User interface module: responsible for displaying the results and cleanup progress of the processing module to the user through control panel 3; Control module: Responsible for changing the appropriate cleaning head according to the cleaning requirements and performing the cleaning; The control module is mounted on the base 1. A fixing plate 5 is symmetrically fixed to the upper part of the base 1. A clamp 6, which is rotatable and used to fix the head-mounted display 7, is provided on one side of the fixing plate 5. The head-mounted display 7 is positioned between the clamps 6. The base 1 has slots 4 for placing different cleaning heads. A first retaining plate 9 is located inside the slots 4. A soft brush head 10 for cleaning stubborn stains and performing detailed cleaning is located on the upper part of the first retaining plate 9. A second retaining plate 18 is located inside the slots 4. A soft brush head 10 for cleaning... The robotic arm 17, designed for precise operation and to avoid direct contact with sensitive areas, has a third snap-fit ​​plate 19 inside the placement slot 4. A vacuum cleaner head 20 is mounted on the upper part of the third snap-fit ​​plate 19 for cleaning dust, fine particles, and other inhalable impurities from the surface of the head-mounted display 7. A universal joint 8 for adjusting the cleaning angle is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1. A telescopic rod 2 with adjustable length is fixedly connected to the upper part of the universal joint 8. The telescopic rod 2 has an internal mechanism for quickly securing different cleaning heads, and a limiting mechanism to enhance stability after the cleaning head is fixed.

[0022] The working principle of the adjustable cleaner for MR devices proposed in this invention is as follows: A clamp 6 fixes the head-mounted display 7; a sensor module detects the concentration and distribution of dust on the surface of the head-mounted display 7; a processing module analyzes the detected structure to determine cleaning needs and locations, and selects a suitable cleaning head. When stubborn stains or detailed cleaning of the head-mounted display 7 are required, a first snap-fit ​​plate 9 placed inside the slot 4 is engaged with the upper part of the telescopic rod 2 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism inside the telescopic rod 2, and then symmetrically connected to the upper part of the telescopic rod 2. The limiting mechanism enhances the stability of the first latching plate 9, enabling the cleaning of stubborn stains and details on the surface of the head-mounted display 7. Similarly, the robotic arm 17 can clean sensitive areas requiring delicate operation and avoiding direct contact. The vacuum cleaner head 20 can clean dust, fine particles, and other inhalable impurities from the surface of the head-mounted display 7. The cleaning angle can be adjusted by rotating the universal joint 8, and the cleaning height can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 2. The head-mounted display 7 can be thoroughly cleaned by rotating the clamp 6.

[0023] In one embodiment, the latching mechanism includes a slider 15 disposed inside the telescopic rod 2, and a push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the slider 15. The push rod 11 passes through the telescopic rod 2 and extends to the upper part of the telescopic rod 2.

[0024] In one embodiment, for the slider 15, a groove 14 is provided on the surface of the slider 15, and a connecting rod 13 is slidably connected to the groove 14. The side of the connecting rod 13 away from the groove 14 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 2.

[0025] In one embodiment, for the slider 15, a spring 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 15 away from the push rod 11, and the side of the spring 16 away from the slider 15 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 2.

[0026] In one embodiment, for the slider 15, a first connecting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 15 away from the slide groove 14. The first connecting plate 21 is slidably connected to the telescopic rod 2. A lever 12 is slidably connected to the first connecting plate 21. The lever 12 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 2.

[0027] The working principle of the adjustable cleaner for MR devices proposed in this invention is as follows: When cleaning is required using the soft brush head 10, the first locking plate 9 is removed, causing it to push the push rod 11 downwards. At this time, the first locking plate 9 slides into the telescopic rod 2. The movement of the push rod 11 causes the fixedly connected slider 15 to move downwards. The movement of the slider 15 causes one side of the connecting rod 13 to slide inside the slide groove 14 until one side of the connecting rod 13 slides to the top of the slide groove 14 and engages there. At this time, the spring 16 is in a compressed state, and the slider 15 continues to move. This will cause the first connecting plate 21, which is fixedly connected, to move. When one side of the first connecting plate 21 slides to the lever 12, it will cause the lever 12 to rotate. At this time, the protruding plate at the bottom of the first locking plate 9 will engage with the lever 12, keeping the first locking plate 9 stable. When it is necessary to replace the cleaning head, push the first locking plate 9 again. At this time, the connecting rod 13 will move down along the slide groove 14 under the action of the spring 16, and the lever 12 will move down at the same time. The first locking plate 9 will be automatically unlocked. Similarly, the second locking plate 18 and the third locking plate 19 operate on the same principle.

[0028] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a first rotating shaft 26 disposed on the upper part of the telescopic rod 2. The first rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 2. A limiting plate 27 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 26. A second motor 25 for controlling the rotation of the first rotating shaft 26 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the limiting plate 27.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the base 1, a control panel 3 is provided on the side of the base 1 near the universal joint 8, and a first motor 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the telescopic rod 2. A baffle 22 is provided at the output end of the first motor 24.

[0030] In one embodiment, the baffle 22 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 2, and the surface of the baffle 22 is provided with a groove 23 through which the limiting plate 27 can pass.

[0031] The working principle of the adjustable cleaner for MR equipment proposed in this invention is as follows: when it is necessary to strengthen the fixing effect of the cleaning head, the first motor 24 is started to drive the baffle 22 to rotate, so that the groove 23 opened on the surface of the baffle 22 passes through the limiting plate 27 to be parallel to the telescopic rod 2. At this time, the second motor 25 is started to drive the first rotating shaft 26 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 26 will drive the fixedly connected limiting plate 27 to rotate. At this time, the limiting plate 27 cannot pass through the groove 23 and will play a limiting role on the baffle 22.

[0032] In one embodiment, for the above processing module, the processing module uses an image processing algorithm to identify the areas in the image that need to be cleaned. The specific steps of the image processing algorithm are as follows: Feature extraction: Edge detection algorithms are used to extract edge information in the image that is related to the area to be cleaned. Texture analysis: Analyze the texture features in an image to distinguish areas with different materials and stain types; Pattern recognition: using a pre-trained convolutional neural network to identify patterns in processed images; Classification and localization: The model classifies the identified stains and scratches and determines their specific locations in the image; Decision making: Based on the identification results and the type and location information of stains and scratches, generate corresponding cleaning strategies.

[0033] In one embodiment, the user interface module includes a display unit, a progress feedback unit, and an interaction control unit. The display unit is used to display the cleaning requirements and location information obtained by the processing module after analyzing the sensor data to the user. The progress feedback unit is used to display the cleaning progress to the user in real time during the cleaning process. The interaction control unit is used by the user to adjust the cleaning parameters, pause and resume the cleaning process as needed.

[0034] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
