Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of the cleaning robot in area F is shown. Fig. 9 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a head cover assembly provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.10 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a head cover assembly provided in another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a head cover assembly provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the head cover assembly 10 is applied to a cleaning robot 1, and the cleaning robot 1 includes the head cover assembly 10 and a water tank assembly 20. The head cover assembly 10 includes: a head cover body 100 and an electrical assembly 200.

[0040] Specifically, the cleaning robot 1 can be a cleaning device such as a sweeping robot or an automatic cleaning machine, and can clean the floor by sweeping, scrubbing, etc. The head cover body 100 is hinged to the water tank assembly 20, and can be flipped relative to the water tank assembly 20 around the hinge axis c to close or expose the first opening 21 of the water tank assembly 20. The user does not need to move the head cover assembly 10, but only needs to flip the head cover assembly 10 to open or close the head cover assembly 10.

[0041] Exemplarily, the water tank assembly 20 can be a clean water tank assembly or a dirty water tank assembly. Exemplarily, the water tank assembly 20 can include an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall of the water tank assembly 20 is used to hold liquid. The outer wall of the water tank assembly 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner wall, which can be decorative or can protect electrical components, pipelines and other structures between the outer wall and the inner wall. The outer wall of the water tank assembly 20 can include a lampshade. The head cover assembly 10 is arranged above the water tank assembly 20 and located at the top of the cleaning robot 1. Exemplarily, the head cover assembly 10 is arranged on the lampshade of the water tank assembly 20. The head cover body 100 can include an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120. The lower shell 120 is buckled with the upper shell 110 to form an installation space 101 between the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120.

[0042] For example, the lower shell 120 may be a sheet-like structure. Figure 6As shown, a side of the lower shell 120 close to the upper shell 110 may have a reinforcing rib 121 to increase the strength of the head cover body 100. By providing the reinforcing rib 121 to increase the strength of the head cover body 100, compared with increasing the thickness of the lower shell 120 and the upper shell 110 to increase the strength of the head cover body 100, the weight of the head cover body 100 can be reduced, which is convenient for the user to flip the head cover assembly 10, and further improves the user's experience.

[0043] The electrical component 200 is connected to the head cover body 100. For example, the electrical component 200 may include one or more of the following devices: a display structure 210, a camera structure 220, a fill light 230, an emergency stop switch 240, and a position sensor 250. For example, the electrical component 200 may also include buttons, circuits, etc., which are not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0044] The display structure 210 can be a display screen, a display panel or other structures, as long as the display effect can be achieved, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the display structure 210. The camera structure 220 can be a fisheye camera or other types of cameras, which are configured to provide a top vision function for the cleaning robot 1. The camera structure 220 can be screwed to the inner side of the upper shell 110 of the head cover body 100. The fill light 230 can be an LED lamp, an incandescent lamp or other types, which are configured to provide a fill light source for the camera structure 220. The fill light 230 is pressed against the inner side of the upper shell 110 with a pressing plate 231. In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a first sealing ring 221 is provided between the camera structure 220 and the upper shell 110 to ensure the sealing of the installation space 101. A second sealing ring 232 is provided between the fill light 230 and the upper shell 110 to ensure the sealing of the installation space 101. Exemplarily, both the first sealing ring 221 and the second sealing ring 232 can be O-rings to further improve the sealing effect.

[0045] Exemplarily, the head cover body 100 can be a cavity structure with an installation space 101, at least part of the structure of the electrical component 200 can be set in the installation space 101, and part of the structure of the electrical component 200 can pass through the installation space 101 and out of the upper surface of the head cover body 100.

[0046] Exemplarily, the circuit board portion of the display structure 210 can be located in the installation space 101, and the display screen portion of the display structure 210 can pass through the upper surface of the head cover body 100 to display graphic or text information to the user. The circuit portion of the camera structure 220 can be located in the installation space 101, and the lens portion of the camera structure 220 can pass through the upper surface of the head cover body 100 to facilitate shooting of the environment on the top of the cleaning robot 1. The circuit structure of the fill light 230 can be located in the installation space 101, and the light-emitting portion of the fill light 230 can pass through the upper surface of the head cover body 100 to illuminate the environment on the top of the cleaning robot 1 and provide fill light for the shooting of the camera structure 220. The circuit board portion of the emergency stop switch 240 can be located in the installation space 101, and the button portion of the emergency stop switch 240 can pass through the upper surface of the head cover body 100 so that the user can operate the emergency stop switch 240. The in-position sensor 250 can be located in the installation space 101.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Fig.11 As shown, the first vertical distance d1 from the center of gravity of the electrical component 200 to the hinge axis c is smaller than the second vertical distance d2 from the center of gravity of the head cover body to the hinge axis, that is, by setting the position of the electrical component 200 on the head cover body 100, the force required for the user to flip the head cover assembly 10 is reduced, which makes it easier for the user to open or close the head cover assembly 10 and improves the user experience.

[0048] Fig.12 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a head cover assembly provided in another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.13 The present invention provides an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.12 A partial enlarged view of the head cover assembly in area G is shown. Fig.14 The present invention provides an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.12 A partial enlarged view of the head cover assembly in the H region is shown. In some embodiments, as Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the head cover assembly 10 further includes a damping hinge 300 .

[0049] The damping hinge 300, also known as a damping hinge, provides an opening damping force for the head cover assembly 10 to prevent the head cover assembly 10 from automatically closing under the action of gravity when in the open state, thereby achieving a hovering effect. In other words, after the user flips the head cover assembly 10 to a certain angle with the upper surface of the water tank assembly 20, the head cover assembly 10 can remain at the flip angle and will not close under the action of gravity. The flip angle can range from 0 to 180 degrees, for example, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 100 degrees, 120 degrees, 150 degrees, etc. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the flip angle of the head cover assembly 10.

[0050] The damping hinge 300 can be a standard part, specifically a hydraulic buffer hinge or a friction plate hinge, as long as it can provide opening damping force for the head cover assembly 10. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of the damping hinge 300.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 5 and Fig.14 As shown, the damping hinge 300 includes a damping structure 310, a first rotating part 320 and a second rotating part 330 that rotate relative to each other. The first rotating part 320 is connected to the head cover body 100, and the second rotating part 330 is connected to the water tank assembly 20. The rotation axis of the first rotating part 320 and the second rotating part 330 is the hinge axis c. The damping structure 310 is configured to provide damping for the relative rotation between the first rotating part 320 and the second rotating part 330, that is, the damping structure 310 can be a hydraulic buffer structure or a friction plate.

[0052] Exemplarily, the damping hinge 300 may further include a first bracket 340 and a second bracket 350. The first rotating portion 320 may be connected to the head cover body 100 via the first bracket 340, and the second rotating portion 330 may be connected to the water tank assembly 20 via the second bracket 350, thereby facilitating the installation of the damping hinge 300.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the head cover assembly 10 further includes a flexible sheet 400 . The flexible sheet 400 is connected to the head cover body 100 , and forms a receiving space 402 with the head cover body 100 . The damping hinge 300 is disposed in the receiving space 402 .

[0054] The material of the flexible sheet 400 can be rubber, for example, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, silicone rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, fluororubber, butyl rubber and other flexible materials. The flexible sheet 400 can realize dustproof protection for the damping hinge 300, and at the same time realize soft contact between the flexible sheet 400 and the damping hinge 300 when the head cover assembly 10 is turned over. In other words, when the head cover assembly 10 is turned over, there will be no hard interference between the flexible sheet 400 and the damping hinge 300, which can prevent damage to the flexible sheet 400 or the damping hinge 300.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Fig.13 As shown, the head cover assembly 10 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure 500 . The snap-fit ​​structure 500 includes: a mounting shaft 510 , a first snap 520 , a torsion spring 530 and a second snap 540 .

[0056] The mounting shaft 510 is connected to the head cover body 100. Exemplarily, the mounting shaft 510 can be connected to the lower shell 120 of the head cover body 100. The mounting shaft 510 can be a cylindrical structure to facilitate the rotation of the first buckle 520. Specifically, the mounting shaft 510 can be fixedly connected to the head cover body 100, or can be rotatably connected to the head cover body 100. For example, the mounting shaft 510 is fixed to the head cover body 100 by bolts, rivets, etc. For another example, the head cover body 100 has an axial hole, and the mounting shaft 510 penetrates the axial hole. The two ends of the mounting shaft 510 can be fixed by retaining rings, nuts, etc. to prevent the mounting shaft 510 from slipping from the axial hole.

[0057] The first buckle 520 includes a pressing portion 521, a first annular portion 522, and a first hook portion 523 that are connected to each other. The first annular portion 522 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 510 so that the first buckle 520 can rotate around the mounting shaft 510. The pressing portion 521 is close to the edge of the head cover body 100, so that the user can press the pressing portion 521 to release the clamping state between the first hook portion 523 and the second hook portion 542. The first hook portion 523 can be an L-shaped or V-shaped hook structure, which is convenient for clamping with the second hook portion 542.

[0058] The torsion spring 530 includes a first end 531, a second annular portion 532, and a second end 533 that are connected to each other. The second annular portion 532 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 510. The first end 531 is connected to the pressing portion 521. The second end 533 is connected to the head cover body 100. By pressing the pressing portion 521, the first end 531 approaches the second annular portion 532, compressing the torsion spring 530, thereby releasing the clamping state of the first hook portion 523 and the second hook portion 542.

[0059] The second buckle 540 includes a connecting portion 541 and a second hook portion 542 connected to each other. The connecting portion 541 is disposed on the water tank assembly 20. The second hook portion 542 can be a 7-shaped or inverted V-shaped hook structure, which is convenient for clamping with the first hook portion 523.

[0060] When the head cover body 100 closes the first opening 21 of the water tank assembly 20, the first hook portion 523 is engaged with the second hook portion 542, thereby providing a self-locking force for the head cover assembly 10 to prevent the head cover assembly 10 from accidentally loosening.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the head cover body 100 includes an upper shell 110 , a lower shell 120 and a sealing member 130 .

[0062] The lower case 120 is buckled with the upper case 110 to form an installation space 101 between the upper case 110 and the lower case 120. At least part of the electrical component 200 is located in the installation space 101. The lower case 120 is configured to close or expose the first opening 21 of the water tank component 20.

[0063] The sealing member 130 is disposed between the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 and surrounds the installation space 101 .

[0064] The number of seals 130 can be multiple, and the multiple seals 130 together surround the installation space 101. The seal 130 can be a sealing foam, which is bonded to the inner side of the upper shell 110 by adhesive, and the lower shell 120 presses the seal 130 to ensure that liquid (for example, water) does not flow into the installation space 101 along the head cover body 100, providing waterproof protection for the electrical components 200 in the installation space 101.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electrical component 200 includes at least one of the following devices: a display structure 210 , a camera structure 220 , a fill light 230 , an emergency stop switch 240 , and a presence sensor 250 .

[0066] The head cover assembly 10 of the present invention can integrate electrical components such as a display structure 210 , a camera structure 220 , a fill light 230 , an emergency stop switch 240 , and a presence sensor 250 , with a high degree of integration, thus saving the space occupied by the head cover assembly 10 .

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, when the electrical component 200 includes a display structure 210 , a display surface 211 of the display structure 210 is disposed at a preset angle β with a horizontal plane, and the display surface 211 faces the operating side P of the cleaning robot 1 .

[0068] Specifically, the preset angle β is an acute angle. The operating side P is the side where the target user is located when the target user operates the cleaning robot 1 to perform a cleaning operation.

[0069] By making the display surface 211 of the display structure 210 be arranged at a preset angle β with the horizontal plane, and the display surface 211 facing the operating side P of the cleaning robot 1 , it is convenient for the user to view the display surface 211 , thereby further improving the user's experience.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the electrical component 200 includes a camera structure 220 and a fill light 230, there are multiple fill lights 230, and the multiple fill lights 230 are symmetrically arranged relative to the camera structure 220, so as to facilitate fill lighting of the camera structure 220 when the camera structure 220 is shooting.

[0071] For example, Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a case where two fill lights 130 are used. Figure 7 As shown, the fill light 230 can be installed on the upper shell 110 through a pressing plate 231. Specifically, the pressing plate 231 can be connected to the upper shell 110 through screws, and the fill light 230 is arranged between the upper shell 110 and the pressing plate 231.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, when the electrical component 200 includes an in-position sensor 250, the number of the in-position sensors 250 is multiple. The water tank component 20 includes multiple detachable components 22, and the detachable components 22 are provided with in-position magnetic components 23. The multiple in-position sensors 250 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the respective in-position magnetic components 23 of the multiple detachable components 22.

[0073] Exemplarily, the detachable component 22 may be a negative pressure component, a filter component, a deodorizing component, etc. The negative pressure component, the filter component, the deodorizing component and the water tank component 20 are detachably connected.

[0074] For example, the in-position magnetic member 23 may be a magnetic member such as a magnet, etc. The in-position sensor 250 corresponding to the in-position magnetic member 23 may detect the in-position magnetic member 23 within a certain distance range.

[0075] By arranging multiple in-place sensors 250 in one-to-one correspondence with the respective in-place magnetic parts 23 of multiple detachable components 22, it is possible to detect whether the multiple detachable components 22 are installed in the water tank assembly 20, and it is also possible to detect whether the head cover assembly 10 is in an open state or a closed state.

[0076] Specifically, if each in-place sensor 250 does not detect the corresponding in-place magnetic part 23, then it can be considered that the head cover assembly 10 is in an open state. If each in-place sensor 250 detects the corresponding in-place magnetic part 23, then it can be considered that the head cover assembly 10 is in a closed state, and each detachable component 22 has been installed in the water tank assembly 20. If some in-place sensors 250 do not detect the corresponding in-place magnetic part 23, and some in-place sensors 250 detect the corresponding in-place magnetic part 23, it can be considered that the head cover assembly 10 is in a closed state, and the corresponding in-place magnetic part 23 is not detected, and the detachable component 22 where the in-place magnetic part 23 corresponding to the in-place sensor 250 is located is not installed in the water tank assembly 20.
