DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the present invention, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of a cleaning robot proposed according to the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0049] On the one hand, if Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model provides a cleaning robot, which can be selectively docked at a cleaning base station. The cleaning machine cooperates with the cleaning base station, and the cleaning base station can charge, replenish water, clean, collect dust and other operations on the docked cleaning robot. The cleaning robot can also be called a self-powered cleaning device, a mopping machine, etc., which can move and clean by itself without user control. The cleaning robot includes a robot body 100, and the robot body 100 includes a main controller, as well as functional mechanisms such as a moving mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The main controller controls the moving mechanism of the robot body 100 to control the robot body 100 to move to the cleaning base station and dock at the cleaning base station, or move out of the cleaning base station for mobile cleaning. The cleaning mechanism may include a roller brush and a dust box, etc. The main controller controls the cleaning mechanism to collect dust, debris, etc. during the movement of the robot body 100 to achieve dry cleaning of the ground. The sensing mechanism can be a sensing device such as an infrared sensor, a collision sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, etc., which is used to provide various position information, motion state information, obstacle information, etc. to the main controller of the robot body 100, so that the main controller can adjust the movement of the robot body 100 and avoid obstacles.

[0050] The robot body 100 can be in various shapes. To balance stability and suitability for various scenarios, such as cleaning areas under a bed, the outer contour of the robot body 100 is generally a flat cylindrical structure. The outer shell of the robot body 100 mainly includes a chassis 110 and an outer cover connected to the chassis 110 and enclosing a receiving cavity. The shape of the chassis 110 can be set according to actual needs, such as being approximately disc-shaped, or can be formed into an irregular shape to adapt to components such as a water tank.

[0051] The cleaning robot also includes a wet cleaning system for wet cleaning of the floor, which assists with dry cleaning to achieve a more thorough cleaning effect. To cooperate with the wet cleaning system of the cleaning robot, the cleaning base station includes a base station body 10 and a water supply system. The base station body 10 includes a docking space for docking the robot body 100. The water supply system is connected to the base station body 10 and is used to provide a mopping fluid for the wet cleaning system when the cleaning robot docks in the docking space.

[0052] More specifically, the wet cleaning system includes a water tank 200, which is disposed on the robot body 100. The water tank 200 includes a receiving space, and a water inlet 210 and at least one overflow port 220 are provided on the water tank 200. The water inlet 210 and the overflow port 220 are both connected to the receiving space.

[0053] A cleaning component 300, the cleaning component 300 is connected to the robot body 100 and / or the water tank 200, and the overflow port 220 is directly or indirectly connected to the cleaning component 300;

[0054] The water inlet 210 is used to inject the mop-washing fluid into the accommodating space, and the overflow port 220 is used to discharge the mop-washing fluid into the cleaning assembly 300 when the volume of the mop-washing fluid in the accommodating space exceeds a preset volume.

[0055] The water tank 200 is a water storage device in the cleaning robot, which can be connected to the outer shell of the robot body 100 in various ways and can be set at various positions of the robot body 100. For example, the outer shell encloses an inner cavity, and the water tank 200 is set in the inner cavity. The water tank 200 can be in various shapes, such as an irregular shape to adapt to the arrangement of other components in the inner cavity. A water hole is provided on the outer shell, and the water inlet 210 is directly connected to the water hole or connected through a hose. When the robot body 100 is docked in the docking space, the water supply system docks with the water hole on the outer shell, and then indirectly communicates with the water inlet 210 to provide the mopping and washing fluid to the accommodation space through the water inlet 210. Alternatively, the outer shell is provided with an open cavity area for accommodating the water tank 200, the water tank 200 is embedded in the cavity area, and the water inlet 210 is exposed outside the outer shell, and the side wall of the water tank 200 provided with the water inlet 210 is a curved surface, which cooperates with the outer shell to form the outer contour of the cleaning robot as a whole that is approximately flat and cylindrical. When the robot body 100 is docked in the docking space, the water supply system directly connects with the water inlet 210, and then the water supply system directly provides the mopping and washing fluid to the accommodation space through the water inlet 210. In order to ensure that the mopping and washing fluid only flows into the accommodation space in one direction from the water supply system and does not flow back, a one-way conduction valve is also provided at the water inlet 210 to prevent the mopping and washing fluid from overflowing in the accommodation space.

[0056] The mopping and washing fluid may be only clean water, or only a detergent, or a mixture of a detergent and clean water. The water inlet 210 may be one, or two or more. If there is one water inlet 210, the mopping and washing fluid is one of clean water or a detergent, and the water inlet 210 is used to inject clean water or a detergent into the accommodation space; or if there are two water inlets 210, the two water inlets 210 are respectively connected to different pipelines of the water supply system in the cleaning base station, and are respectively used to inject clean water and a detergent into the accommodation space.

[0057] The overflow port 220 is used to overflow the excess mop-washing fluid when the volume of the mop-washing fluid in the accommodation space exceeds the preset volume, or when the mop-washing fluid injected into the accommodation space reaches a preset amount, so that the mop-washing fluid is discharged to the cleaning component 300 to achieve cleaning of the cleaning component 300. The overflow port 220 can be set at multiple positions, aiming to ensure that the mop-washing fluid overflows after the mop-washing fluid is sufficiently injected into the accommodation space, so as to ensure that there is enough mop-washing fluid when the cleaning robot mops the floor. The water tank 200 includes a bottom surface, a top surface, and a surrounding surface located around the top surface and the bottom surface, and the top surface, the bottom surface and the surrounding surface enclose a accommodation space. The bottom surface is used to be opposite to the cleaning component 300, or the bottom surface is opposite to the ground during the cleaning process, or the bottom surface is opposite to the bottom surface of the docking space when the robot body 100 is docked in the docking space. The overflow port 220 is located on the top surface of the water tank 200 relative to the bottom surface, or the vertical height of the overflow port 220 relative to the bottom surface is greater than or equal to a preset height, such as being located on the side and connected to the top surface, so that the overflow port 220 is located high enough to ensure that there is enough mopping fluid in the accommodating space and it will not overflow.

[0058] The cleaning component 300 can be in various forms, such as a mop, a roller brush, etc. The cleaning component 300 can be connected to the robot body 100 and located below the chassis 110 of the robot body 100. The cleaning component 300 can be a combination of a fixed pallet and a mop, or a rotating mop driven by a driving structure inside the robot body 100. Alternatively, the cleaning component 300 can also be directly connected to the water tank 200. The overflow port 220 is directly or indirectly connected to the cleaning component 300, which means that the mopping fluid overflowing from the overflow port 220 can be discharged to the cleaning component 300. The mopping fluid overflowing from the overflow port 220 can be discharged to the cleaning component 300 through the outer shell of the robot body 100, the external flow channel of the water tank 200, or the internal flow channel of the water tank 200, etc., which will be described in detail below in conjunction with more specific embodiments. The overflow port 220 may also be directly connected to the cleaning assembly 300 . For example, the cleaning assembly 300 may extend to the periphery of the overflow port 220 , and the mopping fluid overflowing from the overflow port 220 is directly discharged onto the cleaning assembly 300 .

[0059] The water supply system can continuously provide the mop-wash fluid to the accommodation space, and the mop-wash fluid continuously overflowing from the overflow port 220 is discharged to the cleaning component 300, and the cleaning mechanism of the cleaning base station is used to clean the cleaning component 300 by means of scratching, etc., so as to achieve a thorough cleaning of the cleaning component 300. After the cleaning is completed, the water supply of the water supply system can be stopped, and the cleaning robot can directly carry the full water tank 200 away from the cleaning base station for mobile cleaning. It should be noted that the arrows in the accompanying drawings are used to indicate the flow direction of the mop-wash fluid, which will not be explained one by one in the following.

[0060] The cleaning robot, cleaning base station and cleaning system proposed in the embodiment of the utility model are provided with an overflow port on the water tank. After the water tank is filled with water, the overflow port is used to provide cleaning water to the cleaning components, so that only a water supply pipeline is provided in the base station, and no cleaning pipeline is required, thereby simplifying the layout of the base station pipeline. In the related art, a single water storage barrel is provided in the base station, and the outlet of the water storage barrel is connected to one path of the electric-controlled three-way valve, and the other two paths of the electric-controlled three-way valve are respectively connected to the water supply pipeline and the cleaning pipeline. When the cleaning robot is docked at the base station, the water supply pipeline is used to connect to the water tank of the cleaning robot to add water to the water tank of the cleaning robot, and the cleaning pipeline is used to provide cleaning water to the mop to clean the mop. As a result, the water storage barrel is connected to two water pipes, the pipeline structure is complicated, the pipeline installation remains unchanged, and it is easy to leak. In the technical solution of the present application, an overflow port is provided on the water tank. When the cleaning robot docks at the cleaning base station, the cleaning base station adds a mopping fluid to the water tank. When the mopping fluid reaches a certain amount, it will overflow through the overflow port and be discharged to the cleaning component to clean the cleaning component. On the one hand, the cleaning base station only needs to be provided with a water supply pipeline, thereby reducing the layout of the pipelines of the cleaning base station, alleviating the difficulty of installation and the risk of leakage. On the other hand, it is only necessary to control whether the water supply pipeline is supplied with water, and there is no need to control the electric three-way valve as in the prior art, which makes the control process simple, and there is no need to use an electric three-way valve, which reduces the cost and avoids the risk of damage to the electric three-way valve.

[0061] The overflow port 220 can be connected to the cleaning component 300 in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, the cleaning robot also includes at least one overflow pipe 400, and the overflow pipe 400 includes an overflow channel. The first end of the overflow channel is connected to the overflow port 220, and the second end of the overflow channel is directly or indirectly connected to the cleaning component 300. The mopping fluid discharged from the overflow port 220 is discharged to the cleaning component 300 through the overflow channel.

[0062] The overflow port 220 may be one or more, such as two overflow ports 220, which are arranged on opposite sides of the water tank 200. The overflow pipe 400 is connected to the overflow port 220 in a one-to-one correspondence. The overflow pipe 400 may be a hose or a hard pipe arranged to adapt to the internal structure of the robot body 100. The overflow channel refers to the fluid channel inside the overflow pipe 400. The mopping fluid can be guided from the overflow port 220 to the cleaning component 300 through the overflow pipe 400.

[0063] In some other embodiments, an overflow channel is provided on the water tank 200 and / or the robot body 100, a first end of the overflow channel is connected to the overflow port 220, a second end of the overflow channel is directly or indirectly connected to the cleaning component 300, and the mopping fluid discharged from the overflow port 220 is discharged to the cleaning component 300 through the overflow channel.

[0064] The overflow pipe 400 may not be provided separately, and the overflow channel may be processed when the shell of the water tank 200 or the robot body 100 is processed. Alternatively, the water tank 200 and the robot body 100 may be combined to form an overflow channel, so as to drain the mopping and washing fluid.

[0065] Since the cleaning assembly 300 usually has a certain extension length, or the cleaning assembly 300 may include two or more dispersed cleaning parts, such as two rotatable mops. In order to make the cleaning assembly 300 clean evenly, the mopping fluid flowing out of the overflow channel should be discharged to the cleaning assembly 300 in a wide range. The application provides the following three specific embodiments, aiming to make the mopping fluid flowing out of the overflow channel adapt to the position of the cleaning assembly 300 and be discharged in a dispersed manner:

[0066] First, if Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning robot also includes a water distribution component 600, which is connected to the water tank 200 or the robot body 100. The water distribution component 600 includes a water distribution channel and at least one water distribution hole connected to the water distribution channel. The second end of the overflow channel is connected to the water distribution channel, and the water distribution hole is opposite to the cleaning component 300.

[0067] The water distribution member 600 is connected to the overflow pipe 400, and the water distribution holes are opposite to multiple positions of the cleaning component 300, or respectively correspond to multiple cleaning members of the cleaning component 300. The water distribution holes can discharge water simultaneously to achieve a wide range of cleaning of the cleaning component 300.

[0068] Second, if Figure 1 As shown, the robot body 100 includes a shell, the shell includes a chassis 110, the water tank 200 and the cleaning component 300 are respectively located on both sides of the chassis 110, at least one water distribution hole is provided on the chassis 110, and the second end of the overflow channel is directly or indirectly connected to the water distribution hole. The cleaning component 300 is connected to or opposite to the water distribution hole.

[0069] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the chassis 110, and a water distribution hole can be provided at the bottom of the guide groove, and the end of the overflow pipe 400 is located in the guide groove. The water distribution holes are opposite to multiple positions of the cleaning assembly 300, or respectively correspond to multiple cleaning parts of the cleaning assembly 300. The mopping and washing fluid flowing out of the overflow pipe 400 is guided through the guide groove and discharged to the cleaning assembly 300 through the water distribution hole, so as to achieve a wide range of cleaning of the cleaning assembly 300.

[0070] Third, if Figure 3As shown, the cleaning robot further includes a water outlet assembly 500, the water tank 200 further has a water outlet, the water outlet is communicated with the accommodation space, the water outlet assembly 500 is communicated with the water outlet, and the water outlet assembly 500 is communicated with the cleaning assembly 300, for selectively discharging the mopping and washing fluid to the cleaning assembly 300. The second end of the overflow channel is communicated with the water outlet assembly 500, and the mopping and washing fluid flowing out of the overflow channel is discharged to the cleaning assembly 300 through the water outlet assembly 500.

[0071] The water outlet component 500 is used to provide the cleaning component 300 with a mopping fluid during the operation of the cleaning robot, so that the cleaning component 300 is in a wet state to achieve wet mopping. The second end of the overflow channel is connected to the water outlet component 500, so that water is distributed by the water outlet component 500, and there is no need to additionally set up a water distribution member 600 for the overflow channel, which simplifies the structure. It is worth noting that the water outlet is different from the opening of the overflow port 220, and the water outflow from the water outlet is passive, that is, the water outflow is controllable through the action of the water outlet component 500, which can realize the adjustment of whether the cleaning component 300 is wet or not and the degree of wetness. The overflow port 220 actively discharges water when the total amount of the mopping fluid reaches a certain level.

[0072] In a more specific embodiment, the water outlet assembly 500 includes a first power member 510, a water outlet pipe 520 and a water outlet member 530. The first end of the water outlet pipe 520 is connected to the water outlet, and the second end of the water outlet pipe 520 is connected to the water outlet member 530. The water outlet member 530 is provided with at least one water distribution hole, and the water distribution hole is connected to the cleaning assembly 300. The first power member 510 is connected to the water outlet pipe 520 to drive the mopping and washing fluid to flow out of the water outlet and be discharged to the mopping and washing fluid through the water outlet pipe 520 and the water outlet member 530. The second end of the overflow channel is connected to the water outlet pipe 520 and / or the water outlet member 530, and the mopping and washing fluid flowing out of the overflow channel is discharged to the cleaning assembly 300 through the water outlet member 530.

[0073] The first power member 510 can be a peristaltic pump, and the water outlet pipe 520 is a hose. The peristaltic pump includes a cam, and the cam rotates to periodically squeeze and push the water outlet pipe 520 to different degrees, so that the mopping and washing fluid in the water outlet pipe 520 flows to the water outlet member 530. The peristaltic pump has the advantages of not being in direct contact with the mopping and washing fluid, avoiding contamination of the mopping and washing fluid, and being easy to disassemble and avoid connection leakage.
