Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0053] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0054] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0055] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0056] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact, or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0057] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0058] Understandably, as people's living standards continue to improve, cleaning appliances have gradually become a part of daily life. Currently, cleaning systems on the market are equipped with mops that can wipe the floor while sweeping. Cleaning robots with wet mopping functions often use heated cleaning modules to improve the cleaning effect on stubborn stains such as oil. However, on the one hand, the heated cleaning module and the cleaning robot are fixed in structure, which is inconvenient to use. On the other hand, the heated cleaning module is rotatably installed on the bottom of the cleaning robot, and the cleaning robot cannot effectively supply power to the rotating heated cleaning module, thus affecting the power supply stability of the heated cleaning module.

[0059] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a heated cleaning module 100. The heated cleaning module 100 is applied in a cleaning robot 10 of a cleaning system (not shown). Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a heated cleaning module 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the heated cleaning module 100 mounted on the main unit housing of the cleaning robot 10. Figure 2 The output sleeve 300 of the cleaning robot 10 is shown, but the main unit housing is not shown. The cleaning system includes a base station (not shown) and the cleaning robot 10, which can drive into, out of, or dock at the base station. After the cleaning robot 10 docks at a set position on the base station, the base station can provide the cleaning robot 10 with functional services such as charging and cleaning the cleaning cloth 132.

[0060] To better illustrate the structure of the heated cleaning module 100, the structure of the cleaning robot 10 is briefly described first. The cleaning robot 10 includes a main housing (not shown) and the heated cleaning module 100 of this application. The heated cleaning module 100 is disposed on the main housing and at least partially protrudes from the bottom of the main housing. In this way, when the cleaning robot 10 moves on the cleaning surface, it can clean the cleaning surface through the heated cleaning module 100.

[0061] The cleaning surfaces here include, but are not limited to, floors, and can also be other platform surfaces or furniture surfaces that need cleaning. It is worth noting that the shape of the main unit's casing is not limited in principle, as long as it can support the heated cleaning module 100 and other components of the cleaning robot 10. Optionally, the main unit's casing can be a hollow three-dimensional structure, such as a hollow cylinder or polyhedron.

[0062] Optionally, the heated cleaning module 100 includes a mop 132, and the cleaning robot 10 also includes a water tank (not shown) and a water supply pipe (not shown). The water supply pipe connects the water tank and the mop 132. The water tank is used to store water or other types of cleaning media. Water in the water tank can flow to the mop 132 through the water supply pipe, so that the heated cleaning module 100 can wet mop the cleaning surface, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning surface.

[0063] Optionally, the main unit casing is provided with a power interface 200, through which the heating and cleaning module 100 is powered. Optionally, a power supply module (not shown) is provided in the main unit casing, integrated into the main unit casing, and connected to the power interface 200. Thus, after the heating and cleaning module 100 is electrically connected to the power interface 200, the heating and cleaning module 100 can be electrically connected to the power supply module through the power interface 200, and the power supply module can then power the heating and cleaning module 100 through the power interface 200. Optionally, the power supply module is a battery, etc. Optionally, the power supply module and the power interface 200 are directly electrically connected. Of course, the power supply module and the power interface 200 can also be indirectly electrically connected, for example, through other conductive components.

[0064] Optionally, the cleaning robot 10 also includes drive wheels (not shown), which are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the main housing and enable the cleaning robot 10 to move forward and backward. Optionally, the cleaning robot 10 also includes a drive module (not shown), which is the power source for the heated cleaning module 100. The drive module can be connected to the heated cleaning module 100 and drive it to rotate, enabling the heated cleaning module 100 to clean the surface. The connection between the drive module and the heated cleaning module 100 can be direct or indirect. Optionally, the cleaning robot 10 also includes a main control board (not shown), which is electrically connected to the components of the cleaning robot 10 that need to be controlled, such as the heated cleaning module 100, the drive module, and the drive wheels, to control each component.

[0065] It should be noted that the cleaning robot 10 also includes a cleaning component (not shown), a dust box (not shown), and other structures. The cleaning component is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the main unit housing and is used to clean dust, debris, etc., from the cleaning surface and collect them into the dust box. The focus of this application is on the heated cleaning module 100. Other structures of the cleaning robot 10 are not the focus of this application and will not be described in detail below.

[0066] The heating cleaning module 100 of this application is detachably connected to the main unit housing via a fixing base 110, facilitating installation of the heating cleaning module 100 onto the main unit housing and improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly. After disassembly, the heating cleaning module 100 can be used for maintenance and other operations, ensuring its performance. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the fixed first conductive part 150 and the rotating second conductive part 160 is achieved through the power transmission component 170, preventing the wires in the second conductive part 160 from becoming entangled during rotation. This ensures a stable electrical connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 via the power transmission component 170, thereby enabling the second conductive part 160 to stably supply power to the heating component 140, ensuring heating and cleaning, and guaranteeing the stability and safety of the heating of the cloth carrier 130 during rotation. The specific structure of the heating cleaning module 100 in some embodiments is described below.

[0067] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the heated cleaning module 100 includes a fixed base 110, a rotating base 120, a cloth carrier 130, a heating component 140, a first conductive part 150, a second conductive part 160, and a power transmission component 170. The fixed base 110 is detachably mounted to the main housing of the cleaning robot 10. The rotating base 120 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 110. The cloth carrier 130 is disposed on the rotating base 120 and rotates synchronously with it. The heating component 140 is disposed on the cloth carrier 130 and is used to heat the cloth carrier 130. The first conductive part 150 is disposed on the fixed base 110 and is electrically connected to the power interface 200 of the main housing. The second conductive part 160 is disposed on the rotating base 120 and is electrically connected to the heating component 140. The power transmission component 170 is disposed between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120, and is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 to transmit power between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120.

[0068] The fixed base 110 is a fixed component of the heating and cleaning module 100, the rotating base 120 is a rotating component of the heating and cleaning module 100, and the cloth carrier 130 is a component of the heating and cleaning module 100 that performs cleaning. The fixed base 110 is fixedly installed on the main unit housing. The drive module has an output sleeve 300. The fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120 are located in the output sleeve 300 of the drive module. The rotating base 120 is connected to the output sleeve 300. The cloth carrier 130 is located on the side of the rotating base 120 away from the fixed base 110. The rotating base 120 is also connected to the drive module. The drive module drives the rotating base 120 to rotate the cloth carrier 130 around the central axis O of the fixed base 110 so that the cloth carrier 130 can clean the cleaning surface.

[0069] The fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120 form the non-rotating area and the rotating area of ​​the heating cleaning module 100. The fixed base 110, which is in the non-rotating area, remains stationary, while the rotating base 120, which is in the rotating area, can rotate relative to the fixed base 110, allowing the rotating base 120 to drive the cloth carrier 130 to rotate synchronously. The drive module is fitted onto the rotating base 120 via an output sleeve 300, thus driving the rotation of the rotating base 120. It can be understood that the output sleeve 300 can be directly the output end of the drive module, allowing the rotating base 120 to be directly connected to the output end of the drive module. Of course, the output sleeve 300 and the output end of the drive module are independent of each other, with the output sleeve 300 directly connected to the output end of the drive module.

[0070] A heating element 140 is disposed on the cloth carrier 130 and can rotate synchronously with the cloth carrier 130. Energy from the power interface 200 on the main unit casing is transmitted to the heating element 140 via a first conductive part 150, a power transmission part 170, and a second conductive part 160, supplying power to the heating element 140. When powered on, the heating element 140 generates heat to heat the cloth carrier 130. Thus, the heated cloth carrier 130 can effectively clean stubborn stains such as oil stains on surfaces, improving cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.

[0071] Specifically, a first conductive part 150 is disposed in a fixed base 110, a power transmission component 170 is disposed between the fixed base 110 and a rotating base 120, and a second conductive part 160 is disposed in the rotating base 120. One end of the first conductive part 150 is connected to the power interface 200 of the main unit housing, and the other end is electrically connected to one end of the power transmission component 170. One end of the second conductive part 160 is electrically connected to the other end of the power transmission component 170, and the other end of the second conductive part 160 is electrically connected to the heating component 140. The power transmission component 170 can transmit electrical energy from the first conductive part 150 to the second conductive part 160, so that the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 are electrically connected. When it is necessary to heat the cloth carrier 130, the power interface 200 can supply power to the heating component 140 through the first conductive part 150, the power transmission component 170, and the second conductive part 160, so that the heating component 140 can heat the cloth carrier 130 after being energized.

[0072] After the heating cleaning module 100 is installed on the main unit housing, the fixed base 110 is detachably installed on the main unit housing and remains stationary relative to the main unit housing. The rotating base 120 is rotatably disposed on the main unit housing and connected to the output sleeve 300 of the drive module. That is, the fixed base 110 is fixed relative to the main unit housing, while the rotating base 120 is rotatable relative to the main unit housing. In this way, the rotating base 120 can rotate relative to the fixed base 110 so that the first conductive part 150 can supply power to the second conductive part 160, which rotates synchronously with the cloth carrier 130, through the power transmission component 170, thereby enabling the second conductive part 160 to supply power to the heating component 140.

[0073] Furthermore, a rotating base 120 is rotatably connected to a fixed base 110, allowing the cloth carrier 130, the second conductive part 160, and the heating element 140 to rotate synchronously with the rotating base 120. Simultaneously, the power transmission component 170 transmits electrical energy from the fixed first conductive part 150 to the rotating second conductive part 160, enabling the second conductive part 160 to rotate smoothly around the central axis O. When the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires within it will not become tangled or stretched, but will rotate synchronously with the cloth carrier 130 and the heating element 140, thus maintaining the connection between the second conductive part 160 and the heating element 140. This ensures the performance of the second conductive part 160 and prevents damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0074] In other words, the rotating seat 120 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 110. At the same time, the power transmission component 170 transmits the power of the first conductive part 150 to the second conductive part 160, so that the power is transmitted from the fixed seat 110 to the rotating seat 120, and the conductivity between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 is guaranteed. This allows the first conductive part 150 to be stably and safely conductively connected to the rotating second conductive part 160 through the power transmission component 170, solving the technical problem of continuous power supply to the rotating component. This enables the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 through the heating component 140 during the dynamic cleaning process.

[0075] Simultaneously, the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120 form the non-rotating area and the rotating area of ​​the heating cleaning module 100. The second conductive part 160 is integrated into the rotating base 120, so that the second conductive part 160 can rotate synchronously with the rotating base 120 and the cloth carrier 130. In addition, the second conductive part 160 is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150 through the power transmission component 170. The second conductive part 160 and the first conductive part 150 can achieve stable power transmission while rotating relative to the first conductive part 150. That is, through the rotational cooperation between the rotating base 120 and the fixed base 110, the first conductive part 150 can supply power to the rotating second conductive part 160 through the power transmission component 170, so that the heating cleaning module 100 realizes the combination of a stationary non-rotating area and an active rotating area, thereby solving the power supply problem of the rotating cloth carrier 130, and enabling the heating cleaning module 100 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 during dynamic cleaning.

[0076] This application uses electrical energy to directly heat the cloth carrier 130, eliminating the need to heat and transport hot water through a base station to heat the cloth carrier 130, and also eliminating the need to heat the water in the water tank in the host casing. This abandons the traditional indirect heating mode of "heating water first and then using water to transfer heat", eliminating the heat capacity of the intermediate medium and the heat loss of the pipeline, improving energy utilization, reducing energy consumption and improving thermal efficiency when reaching the same cleaning temperature, and has the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0077] Furthermore, the heating element 140 can directly heat the cloth carrier 130, which has low thermal inertia and can reach the set temperature in a short time, achieving "instant heating" and improving the immediacy of cleaning response. At the same time, after the heating element 140 heats the cloth carrier 130, it can maintain a high and stable working temperature, effectively softening stubborn dirt such as oil and sugar stains on the cleaning surface. Combined with mechanical wiping, this greatly improves the cleanliness of a single cleaning session.

[0078] The heating and cleaning module 100 of the above embodiment is detachably connected to the main unit housing via the fixing base 110, which facilitates the installation of the heating and cleaning module 100 onto the main unit housing, improves the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the heating and cleaning module 100, and allows for maintenance and other operations after disassembly, ensuring the performance of the heating and cleaning module 100. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the fixed first conductive part 150 and the rotating second conductive part 160 is achieved through the power transmission component 170, preventing the wires in the second conductive part 160 from becoming entangled during rotation. This ensures a stable electrical connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 via the power transmission component 170, thereby enabling the second conductive part 160 to stably supply power to the heating component 140, ensuring heating and cleaning, and guaranteeing the stability and safety of the heating of the cloth carrier 130 during rotation.

[0079] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment of this application, the power transmission component 170 includes a rotating conductive element (not shown), which is at least partially located between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120, and is rotatably electrically connected to the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160, so that the second conductive part 160 is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150 and rotates relative to the first conductive part 150.

[0080] A rotating conductive element is located between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120. One end of the first conductive part 150 is electrically connected to one end of the rotating conductive element, and one end of the second conductive part 160 can be electrically connected to the other end of the rotating conductive element. When the rotating base 120 rotates, the rotating conductive element enables the second conductive part 160 to rotate relative to the first conductive part 150. Consequently, the second conductive part 160 can rotate synchronously with the rotating base 120 and the cloth carrier 130 to supply power to the heating component 140.

[0081] A rotating conductive element is used to rotatably connect the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160. This allows the second conductive part 160 to rotate smoothly around the central axis O. When the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires within it will not become tangled or stretched; instead, they will rotate synchronously with the rotating conductive element and the rotating base 120, thus maintaining the second conductive part 160 within the rotating base 120. This ensures the performance of the second conductive part 160 and prevents damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0082] In other words, the rotating conductive component enables a rotatable connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160, while also ensuring the conductivity between them. This allows the first conductive part 150 to be stably and safely connected to the rotating second conductive part 160, solving the technical problem of continuous power supply to the rotating component. It also enables the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 through the heating component 140 during dynamic cleaning.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, the rotating conductive element is a conductive slip ring (not shown). The conductive slip ring rotatably connects the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160, allowing the second conductive part 160 to rotate relative to the first conductive part 150. The conductive slip ring is located between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120. One end of the conductive slip ring is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150, and the other end of the conductive slip ring is electrically connected to the second conductive part 160. When the cloth carrier 130 rotates, the conductive slip ring enables the second conductive part 160 to rotate relative to the first conductive part 150, thereby allowing the second conductive part 160 to rotate synchronously with the cloth carrier 130, supplying power to the heating element 140.

[0084] A conductive slip ring is used to rotatably connect the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160, allowing the second conductive part 160 to rotate smoothly around the central axis O. When the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires within it will not become tangled or stretched, but will rotate synchronously with the conductive slip ring and the cloth carrier 130, thus maintaining the second conductive part 160 in its mounted position on the rotating base 120. This ensures the performance of the second conductive part 160 and prevents damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0085] In other words, the conductive slip ring enables a rotatable connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160, while also ensuring the conductivity between them. This allows the first conductive part 150 to be stably and safely connected to the rotating second conductive part 160, solving the technical problem of continuous power supply to the rotating component. It also enables the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 through the heating component 140 during dynamic cleaning.

[0086] In one embodiment, the conductive slip ring includes a stationary portion (not shown) and a rotating portion (not shown) that are rotatably electrically connected. The stationary portion is disposed on a fixed base 110 and electrically connected to a first conductive portion 150, while the rotating portion is disposed on a rotating base 120 and electrically connected to a second conductive portion 160. Thus, the rotating portion and the second conductive portion 160 can rotate relative to the fixed base 110 and the first conductive portion 150 with the rotating base 120.

[0087] The stationary portion and the rotating portion form the main structure of the rotating conductive component. The stationary portion and the rotating portion are rotatably connected, meaning the rotating portion can rotate relative to the stationary portion, and the rotating portion is also electrically connected to the stationary portion. The stationary portion is disposed in the fixed base 110 and remains stationary with the fixed base 110. The stationary portion can be electrically connected to the first conductive part 150. The rotating portion is disposed in the rotating base 120 and rotates synchronously with the rotating base 120 relative to the fixed base 110 and the stationary portion. The rotating portion is electrically connected to the second conductive part 160.

[0088] In other words, the rotating part can rotate relative to the stationary part. When the rotating base 120 drives the rotating part to rotate, the stationary part remains stationary and maintains its conductive connection with the first conductive part 150. Simultaneously, it also maintains its conductive connection with the rotating part, allowing the rotating part to maintain a rotatable electrical connection with the first conductive part 150 through the stationary part. Furthermore, the rotating part is also electrically connected to the second conductive part 160, achieving a conductive connection between the rotating second conductive part 160 and the stationary first conductive part 150.

[0089] Thus, the stationary and rotating parts enable a conductive connection between the first conductive part 150 and the rotating second conductive part 160. When the rotating base 120 drives the rotating part and the second conductive part 160 to rotate, the rotating part maintains conductive contact with the first conductive part 150 through the stationary part, while simultaneously allowing the second conductive part 160 to rotate smoothly around the central axis O. Furthermore, when the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires within it do not become tangled or stretched, but rotate synchronously with the rotating part and the rotating base 120, ensuring that the second conductive part 160 remains mounted within the rotating base 120. This guarantees the performance of the second conductive part 160 and prevents damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0090] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the structural form and type of the stationary part and the rotating part are not limited in principle. As long as the stationary part can be fixed to the fixed base 110 and the rotating part can be fixed to the rotating base 120, and the stationary part and the rotating part are rotatably electrically connected, the conductive connection between the rotating second conductive part 160 and the stationary first conductive part 150 can be achieved.

[0091] Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive slip ring may also be other structures that enable conductive connection between the fixed first conductive part 150 and the rotating second conductive part 160.

[0092] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In another embodiment of this application, a rotating conductive element is disposed at one end of the rotating base 120 facing the fixed base 110, and rotates with the rotating base 120 relative to the fixed base 110. One end of the first conductive part 150 remains in conductive contact with the rotating conductive element. The rotating conductive element is fixed to the top of the rotating base 120 and located between the fixed base 110 and the rotating base 120. When the drive module drives the rotating base 120 to rotate through the output sleeve 300, the rotating base 120 can simultaneously drive the rotating conductive element to rotate synchronously.

[0093] Furthermore, the second end 152 of the first conductive part 150 can extend toward the rotating conductive member and maintain conductive contact with the rotating conductive member. That is, during the rotation of the rotating conductive member, the second end 152 of the first conductive part 150 can always remain in contact with the rotating conductive member, and the rotating conductive member and the first conductive part 150 maintain a rotatable electrical connection. Moreover, the rotating conductive member is also electrically connected to the third end 161 of the second conductive part 160, realizing a conductive connection between the rotating second conductive part 160 and the stationary first conductive part 150.

[0094] In this way, when the rotating base 120 drives the rotating conductive component and the second conductive part 160 to rotate, the rotating conductive component can maintain conductive contact with the first conductive part 150 during rotation, while the second conductive part 160 can also rotate smoothly around the central axis O. Furthermore, when the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires in the second conductive part 160 will not become tangled or stretched, but will rotate synchronously with the rotating conductive component and the rotating base 120, so that the second conductive part 160 remains installed in the rotating base 120, thereby ensuring the performance of the second conductive part 160 and avoiding damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0095] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the structure and type of the rotating conductive component are not limited in principle, as long as the rotating conductive component can be fixed to the rotating seat 120 and maintain contact with the second end 152 of the first conductive part 150 during rotation, so as to achieve conductive connection between the rotating second conductive part 160 and the stationary first conductive part 150.

[0096] Optionally, the rotating conductive element is a conductive ring or a conductive disk. The rotating conductive element, which is a conductive ring or conductive disk, is located at the end of the rotating base 120 facing the fixed base 110. One end of the first conductive part 150 can abut against the conductive ring or conductive disk, and the conductive ring or conductive disk is also electrically connected to the second conductive part 160. When the rotating base 120 drives the conductive ring or conductive disk to rotate, the first conductive part 150 always remains abutting against the conductive ring or conductive disk. In this way, the first conductive part 150 can be electrically connected to the second conductive part 160 through the conductive ring or conductive disk, ensuring that the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 conduct electricity while preventing damage to the second conductive part 160 due to rotational entanglement. Of course, the rotating conductive element can also be any other structural form that can rotatably abut against the first conductive part 150.

[0097] In the second embodiment of this application, the power transmission component 170 includes a wireless power supply module (not shown). The wireless power supply module includes a wireless power transmitting unit disposed on the fixed base 110 and a wireless power receiving unit disposed on the rotating base 120. The wireless power transmitting unit is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150, and the wireless power receiving unit is electrically connected to the second conductive part 160. The wireless power receiving unit receives the power transmitted by the wireless power transmitting unit and supplies power to the heating component 140 through the second conductive part 160.

[0098] In other words, the power transmission component 170 can transmit power in a non-contact manner through the wireless power supply module. This eliminates electrical conductivity between the power transmission components 170, preventing conductive entanglement and avoiding the wires in the second conductive part 160 from becoming entangled during the rotation of the rotating base 120 relative to the fixed base 110. This ensures the performance of the second conductive part 160 and solves the technical problem of continuous power supply to the rotating component.

[0099] Specifically, the wireless power supply module includes a wireless power transmitting unit and a wireless power receiving unit. The wireless power transmitting unit is located in the fixed base 110 and is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150. The wireless power receiving unit is located in the rotating base 120 and is electrically connected to the second conductive part 160. The wireless power transmitting unit and the wireless power receiving unit are connected for transmission. The first conductive part 150 transmits electrical energy from the power interface 200 to the wireless power transmitting unit. The wireless power transmitting unit can transmit electrical energy to the wireless power receiving unit. The wireless power receiving unit can supply power to the heating element 140 through the second conductive part 160 to generate heat in the heating element 140.

[0100] Furthermore, after the wireless power transmitting unit is installed on the fixed base 110, the wireless power transmitting unit and the fixed base 110 remain stationary. After the wireless power receiving unit is installed on the rotating base 120, the wireless power receiving unit can rotate together with the rotating base 120. That is, the rotating base 120, the wireless power receiving unit, the second conductive part 160, the heating element 140, and the cloth carrier 130 can rotate together around the central axis O.

[0101] In this way, when the rotating base 120 drives the wireless power receiving unit and the second conductive part 160 to rotate, the wireless power receiving unit can receive the electrical energy transmitted by the wireless transmitting unit during rotation, allowing the second conductive part 160 to rotate smoothly around the central axis O. Furthermore, when the second conductive part 160 rotates, the wires within it will not become tangled or stretched, but will rotate synchronously with the wireless power receiving unit and the rotating base 120, thus maintaining the second conductive part 160 in its mounted position within the rotating base 120. This ensures the performance of the second conductive part 160 and prevents damage caused by tangling during rotation.

[0102] It should be noted that the types of wireless power transmitting units and wireless power receiving units are not restricted in principle. For example, wireless power transmitting units and wireless power receiving units can be wireless transmission circuits, as long as they can achieve wireless transmission of electrical energy.

[0103] In one embodiment, the rotating seat 120 is rotatably supported on the fixed seat 110 by at least one bearing (not shown). The bearing enables rotational support between the rotating seat 120 and the fixed seat 110, ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating seat 120. At the same time, after the fixed seat 110 is detachably installed on the main body housing, the rotating seat 120 can also be indirectly installed on the main body housing through the bearing, realizing the indirect connection between the rotating seat 120 and the main body housing.

[0104] In one embodiment, the bearing is a support bearing. The inner ring of the bearing is connected to the fixed seat 110, and the outer ring of the bearing is connected to the rotating seat 120 or to a drive module for driving the rotating seat 120. The support bearing provides rotational support. The inner ring of the support bearing can be fitted onto the outer wall of the fixed seat 110, and the outer ring of the support bearing can be disposed in the rotating seat 120. The support bearing provides rotational support between the rotating seat 120 and the fixed seat 110, allowing the rotating seat 120 to rotate freely relative to the fixed seat 110. Alternatively, the inner ring of the support bearing can also be fitted onto the outer wall of the fixed seat 110, and the outer ring of the support bearing can be disposed in the output sleeve 300 to support and fix the fixed seat 110 in the output sleeve 300.

[0105] In other words, the fixed base 110 can be mounted to the output sleeve 300 via a support bearing, and then mounted to the main unit housing via the output sleeve 300. The fixed base 110 can also be rotatably connected to the rotating base 120 via the support bearing. Of course, the support bearing can connect the fixed base 110, the rotating base 120, and the output sleeve 300 simultaneously.

[0106] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the rotating seat 120 is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed seat 110. It is understood that since the rotation of the rotating seat 120 is driven by the output sleeve 300 of the drive module, the fixed seat 110 and the rotating seat 120 need to be located together in the output sleeve 300. To ensure that the drive module only drives the rotating seat 120 to rotate and not the fixed seat 110, this application limits the outer diameter of the fixed seat 110 to be smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating seat 120.

[0107] In this way, when the drive module rotates, it can drive the rotating seat 120 to rotate relative to the fixed seat 110, and keep the first conductive part 150 stationary while the second conductive part 160 rotates synchronously, realizing the rotatable connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160. At the same time, it can also ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive part 150 and the power interface 200, so as to solve the power supply problem of the rotating cloth carrier 130, and enable the heating cleaning module 100 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 during the dynamic cleaning process.

[0108] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the rotating seat 120 is connected to the output sleeve 300 of the drive module that drives the rotating seat 120 to rotate, and the outer wall of the rotating seat 120 is in contact with the inner wall of the output sleeve 300. After the rotating seat 120 and the fixed seat 110 are installed on the output sleeve 300, the outer wall of the rotating seat 120 is in contact with the inner wall of the output sleeve 300, and there is a certain gap between the outer wall of the fixed seat 110 and the inner wall of the output sleeve 300.

[0109] In this way, when the drive module rotates, it can drive the rotating seat 120 to rotate relative to the fixed seat 110, and keep the first conductive part 150 stationary while the second conductive part 160 rotates synchronously, realizing the rotatable connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160. At the same time, it can also ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive part 150 and the power interface 200, so as to solve the power supply problem of the rotating cloth carrier 130, and enable the heating cleaning module 100 to stably and safely heat the cloth carrier 130 during the dynamic cleaning process.

[0110] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first conductive part 150 has a first end 151 and a second end 152 opposite to each other, and the second conductive part 160 has a third end 161 and a fourth end 164 opposite to each other. The first end 151 is used to connect to the power interface 200, the second end 152 is used to connect to one end of the power transmission component 170, the third end 161 is used to connect to the other end of the power transmission component 170, and the fourth end 164 is used to connect to the heating component 140.

[0111] When the cloth carrier 130 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 110, the third end 161 of the second conductive part 160 is connected to the other end of the power transmission component 170, and one end of the power transmission component 170 is electrically connected to the second end 152 of the first conductive part 150. The first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 are electrically connected through the power transmission component 170, so that the rotating second conductive part 160 can rotate freely relative to the fixed first conductive part 150.

[0112] Thus, when the rotating base 120 rotates relative to the fixed base 110, the second conductive part 160 is rotatably connected to the third end 161 and the second end 152 through the power transmission component 170, causing the second conductive part 160 to rotate relative to the first conductive part 150. Simultaneously, a conductive connection is also achieved between the second conductive part 160 and the first conductive part 150. When the heating and cleaning module 100 is installed in the main unit housing, the first conductive part 150 is electrically connected to the power interface 200 through the first end 151, allowing the first conductive part 150 to be powered by the power interface 200.

[0113] Thus, the power interface 200 is electrically connected to the first conductive part 150 via the first end 151, and then rotatably electrically connected to the second end 152 via the power transmission component 170 via the third end 161, thereby connecting the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160. Finally, it is electrically connected to the heating component 140 via the fourth end 164. In this way, the power interface 200 transmits electrical energy to the heating component 140 through the first conductive part 150, the power transmission component 170, and the second conductive part 160.

[0114] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first conductive portion 150 has an exposed conductive portion (not shown) for conductive contact with the power interface 200. After the first conductive portion 150 is disposed on the mounting base 110, one end of the first conductive portion 150 protrudes from the mounting base 110. The end of the first conductive portion 150 protruding from the mounting base 110 is the exposed conductive portion, which can make conductive contact with the power interface 200 to achieve an effective electrical connection between the first conductive portion 150 and the power interface 200, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive portion 150 and the power interface 200.

[0115] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the exposed conductive portion is an elastic conductive element. When the first conductive portion 150 is electrically connected to the power interface 200 through the elastic conductive element, the elastic conductive element enables a conductive connection between the power interface 200 and the first conductive portion 150. At the same time, the elastic force of the elastic conductive element also allows the first conductive portion 150 to press tightly against the power interface 200, thereby ensuring the conductivity and reliability of the connection between the power interface 200 and the first conductive portion 150, and thus ensuring that the cleaning robot 10 stably supplies power to the first conductive portion 150 through the power interface 200.

[0116] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the elastic conductive element is a metal spring pin or a metal spring sheet. This elastic conductive element, such as a metal spring pin or metal spring sheet, is integrated into the first conductive portion 150 and can contact the power interface 200 to achieve an electrical connection between the power interface 200 and the first conductive portion 150. This ensures that the first conductive portion 150 is tightly pressed against the power interface 200, guaranteeing the conductivity and reliability of the connection between the power interface 200 and the first conductive portion 150. Of course, in other embodiments, the exposed conductive portion can also be other components capable of achieving an electrical connection with the power interface 200 and the first conductive portion 150.

[0117] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the exposed conductive portion is provided with a conductive adsorption member, a first conductive part 150, which is used to adsorb and connect to the power interface 200. After the conductive adsorption member is provided on the exposed conductive portion of the first conductive part 150, the conductive adsorption member can be adsorbed onto the power interface 200, realizing a reliable connection between the first conductive part 150 and the power interface 200, while also ensuring the conductivity between the first conductive part 150 and the power interface 200.

[0118] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first conductive part 150 is a metal conductive sheet embedded in the fixing base 110. The metal conductive sheet is integrated into the fixing base 110 to prevent the first conductive part 150 from shifting within the fixing base 110, thus ensuring the conductivity and operational reliability of the first conductive part 150. Furthermore, the fixing base 110 supports and mounts the metal conductive sheet, facilitating its installation into the host housing. Simultaneously, the metal conductive sheet can be electrically connected to the power interface 200 and the power transmission component 170, thereby achieving efficient power transmission. Of course, in other embodiments, the first conductive part 150 may also be a conductive wire or other components capable of conducting electricity.

[0119] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the two ends of the metal conductive sheet extend out of the fixing base 110. The first end 151 and the second end 152 of the first conductive part 150 are exposed at both ends of the fixing base 110. In this way, the first conductive part 150 can be electrically connected to the power interface 200 through the first end 151 and to the power transmission component 170 through the second end 152, so that the metal conductive sheet can be electrically connected to the power interface 200 and the power transmission component to achieve efficient power transmission.

[0120] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, there are two first conductive parts 150, which are spaced apart in the fixing base 110. The two first conductive parts 150 are electrically connected to the power interface 200 and to the power transmission component 170 respectively to form a conductive circuit.

[0121] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, there are two second conductive parts 160. Each second conductive part 160 is electrically connected to a first conductive part 150 through a power transmission component 170. The two second conductive parts 160 are simultaneously connected to the first conductive part 150 through the power transmission component 170, so that the power interface 200, the first conductive part 150, the power transmission component 170, the second conductive part 160 and the heating component 140 form a conductive circuit, ensuring that the heating component 140 can generate heat after being powered on, so as to heat the cloth carrier 130.

[0122] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cloth carrier 130 includes a mounting frame 131 and a cloth 132. The mounting frame 131 is located at the end of the rotating base 120 away from the fixed base 110, and the cloth 132 is located on the side of the mounting frame 131 facing away from the rotating base 120. A heating element 140 is located between the mounting frame 131 and the cloth 132. The rotating base 120 is located on the side of the mounting frame 131 facing the fixed base 110 and is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 110. The cloth 132 is mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 131 facing away from the rotating base 120. Furthermore, the rotating base 120 is also located in the output sleeve 300. The drive module can drive the output sleeve 300 to move the rotating base 120, so that the rotating base 120 drives the mounting frame 131 to rotate, and the mounting frame 131 can drive the cloth 132 to rotate, so that the cloth 132 can clean the cleaning surface.

[0123] The heating element 140 is disposed on the surface of the mounting bracket 131 opposite to the rotating base 120, and is located between the mounting bracket 131 and the mop 132. In this way, the heating element 140 can generate heat when it is powered on, and the heat can be directly conducted to the mop 132, causing the mop 132 to heat up rapidly. Thus, the mop 132 can wipe the cleaning surface at a higher temperature during mopping, achieving effective dissolution and cleaning of stubborn stains.

[0124] It is worth noting that the shape of the mounting bracket 131 is not limited in principle, as long as the shape of the mounting bracket 131 can support the wiping cloth 132 and clean the cleaning surface. Optionally, the mounting bracket 131 is circular. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 131 may also be elliptical, polygonal, or other shapes.

[0125] Optionally, the outer diameter of the rotary seat 120 is smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting bracket 131. This reduces the size of the output sleeve 300, facilitating the connection between the rotary seat 120 and the output sleeve 300. Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the rotary seat 120 can be polygonal, flat, D-shaped, etc., to facilitate connection with the output sleeve 300, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the rotary seat 120 and the output sleeve 300. Of course, the rotary seat 120 and the output sleeve 300 can also be connected by a spline.

[0126] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 131 is provided with a heat insulation layer. The heat insulation layer is disposed on the surface of the mounting bracket 131 facing the heating element 140. In this way, the heat insulation layer can minimize the heat generated by the heating element 140 from being transferred to the mounting bracket 131, so that most of the heat is transferred to the cloth 132, minimizing heat dissipation through the mounting bracket 131, reducing energy consumption, and also preventing burns to the user.

[0127] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 131 is made of heat-insulating material. The mounting bracket 131 made of heat-insulating material can minimize the heat generated by the heating element 140 from being transferred to the mounting bracket 131, so that most of the heat is transferred to the cloth 132, and heat dissipation through the mounting bracket 131 is minimized, reducing energy consumption. At the same time, it can also prevent burns to the user.

[0128] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cleaning cloth 132 is attached to the mounting frame 131 by adhesive or snap-fit. The cleaning cloth 132 can be fixed to the mounting frame 131 by Velcro, snap-fit, zipper, or other detachable methods. As a consumable, the cleaning cloth 132 can be replaced individually, facilitating maintenance.

[0129] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the heating element 140 is a resistance heating wire or a resistance heating film. The resistance heating wire or resistance heating film is disposed on the surface of the mounting bracket 131 to heat the cloth 132. Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element 140 may also be other electrically heated components.

[0130] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the heating element 140 is attached to or embedded in the surface of the cloth carrier 130. This reduces the size of the heating element 140 in the thickness direction of the mounting bracket 131 without affecting the heating effect on the cloth 132, thereby reducing the overall height of the heating cleaning module 100 and ensuring reliable fixation of the heating element 140. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the heating element 140 may be attached to the surface of the mounting bracket 131 facing the cloth 132 to reduce the distance between the heating element 140 and the cloth 132, thus improving the heating effect on the cloth 132.

[0131] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the heating area of ​​the heating element 140 is less than or equal to the cleaning working area of ​​the cloth 132. This ensures that the heating area of ​​the heating element 140 on the cloth 132 is uniformly heated, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cloth 132 on stubborn stains.

[0132] The working process of the heating cleaning module 100 of this application is as follows: When the cleaning robot 10 starts the hot water mopping function, the main control board controls the power supply module to supply power through the power interface 200. At this time, the electrical energy of the power interface 200 is conducted to the first conductive part 150. The first conductive part 150 is electrically connected to the power transmission component 170 through the second end 152. Then, the power transmission component 170 is electrically connected to the third end 161 of the second conductive part 160. The power transmission component 170 can conduct the electrical energy of the fixed first conductive part 150 to the rotating second conductive part 160, and then transmit it to the heating component 140 through the second conductive part 160. The power transmission component 170 enables power transmission between the fixed area and the rotating area, thereby powering the heating component 140. When the heating component 140 is powered on, it generates heat, which is directly conducted to the wiping cloth 132 in close contact with it, causing the wiping cloth 132 to heat up rapidly. As a result, the wiping cloth 132 wipes the floor at a higher temperature during the mopping process, effectively dissolving and cleaning stubborn stains.

[0133] The heating and cleaning module 100 of this application is detachably connected to the main unit housing via a fixing base 110, facilitating the installation of the heating and cleaning module 100 onto the main unit housing and improving the efficiency of its assembly and disassembly. After disassembly, the heating and cleaning module 100 can be used for maintenance and other operations, ensuring its performance. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the fixed first conductive part 150 and the rotating second conductive part 160 is achieved through the power transmission component 170, preventing the wires in the second conductive part 160 from becoming entangled during rotation. This ensures a stable electrical connection between the first conductive part 150 and the second conductive part 160 via the power transmission component 170, thereby enabling the second conductive part 160 to stably supply power to the heating component 140, guaranteeing heating and cleaning, and ensuring the stability and safety of the heating of the cloth carrier 130 during rotation.

[0134] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application also provides a cleaning robot 10, including a main unit housing, a drive module, and a heating cleaning module 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The drive module is disposed in the main unit housing and has an output sleeve 300. The heating cleaning module 100 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the main unit housing. The output sleeve 300 connects to and drives the rotating base 120 in the heating cleaning module 100 to rotate. The main unit housing has a power interface 200, which is used to electrically connect to the first conductive part 150 of the heating cleaning module 100.

[0135] The cleaning robot 10 of this application, after adopting the aforementioned heating cleaning module 100, can heat the rotating cloth carrier 130, ensuring the stability and safety of the heating of the cloth carrier 130 during rotation. Optionally, the power supply module is a lithium battery, etc. The above-mentioned heating principle for the cloth 132 is highly universal, and the type of cleaning robot 10 to which it is applied is, in principle, unrestricted. It can be applied to cleaning robots 10 with various rotating cloth 132 structures, including but not limited to circular rotating mops, double-disc rotating mops, etc., and has broad application prospects.

[0136] In one embodiment, a mounting position is provided at the bottom of the main unit housing, on which a heated cleaning module 100 can be detachably mounted. That is, the bottom of the cleaning robot 10 may only have one heated cleaning module 100, which is mounted at this mounting position to meet the cleaning needs of the cleaning robot 10.

[0137] In another embodiment, the bottom of the main housing has two mounting positions, each of which can be detachably mounted with a heated cleaning module 100. That is, the cleaning robot 10 includes two heated cleaning modules 100, each mounted in one mounting position. The cleaning capability of the cleaning robot 10 is enhanced by using two heated cleaning modules 100.

[0138] In one embodiment, the two heating cleaning modules 100 rotate in the same or opposite directions. The rotation directions of the two heating cleaning modules 100 relative to their respective central axes O can be the same or different. For example, the two heating cleaning modules 100 can rotate in the same direction, such as simultaneously rotating clockwise or counterclockwise around their respective central axes O. For example, the two heating cleaning modules 100 can rotate in different directions, such as one heating cleaning module 100 rotating clockwise around its corresponding central axis O, and the other heating cleaning module 100 rotating counterclockwise around its corresponding central axis O. This allows the two heating cleaning modules 100 to meet the cleaning needs of different scenarios, improving the cleaning capability of the cleaning robot 10.

[0139] This application also provides a cleaning system, including a base station and a cleaning robot 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning robot 10 can enter, dock, and exit the base station. After exiting the base station, the cleaning robot 10 can clean the surface. After entering the base station, the cleaning robot 10 can dock at a designated location on the base station. The base station can provide the cleaning robot 10 with functional services such as charging, cleaning the cleaning cloth 132, and dust collection.

[0140] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0141] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
