[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , a cleaning robot according to an embodiment of the utility model at least comprises an adapter plate 1, a shell 3, a top cover 4 and a side cover 2;

[0026] The shell 3 is detachably connected to the top cover 4 and the side cover 2 respectively, and a notch 33 opening downward is provided on the edge of the shell 3 close to the side cover 2;

[0027] The side cover 2 covers the notch 33;

[0028] The adapter plate 1 is installed inside the housing 3 corresponding to the notch 33 , and the adapter plate 1 is used to be electrically connected to the electronic module of the cleaning robot.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the circuits of the cleaning robot are connected together through the adapter plate 1, and the electronic module includes various sensors and power lines of electronic components, etc., so that the adapter plate 1 is used as a carrier for signal transfer, and the adapter plate 1 is installed with a corresponding notch 33 and a detachable side cover 2. The adapter plate 1 can be exposed by removing the side cover 2, so that the electronic module can be quickly inspected and replaced without touching the many sensors provided on the front shell 31 and the rear shell 32, which is convenient for maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the notch 33 and the side cover 2 are both in an inverted U shape with the opening downward, so that the side cover 2 is roughly formed into a shape similar to the adapter plate 1. The arc-shaped design of the corner is both beautiful and can evenly bear force to avoid stress concentration.

[0031] In the above embodiments, ultrasonic sensors, laser sensors, etc. are often set at the front and rear of the cleaning robot to sense the position of the cleaning robot and detect objects in front to avoid obstacles. The corresponding shell 3 is not convenient to disassemble and is easy to hit the sensor. Therefore, a side cover 2 is set to connect the shell 3. When encountering problems or regular maintenance, it is only necessary to open the side cover 2 and check the circuit and signal connection on the adapter plate 1, so that maintenance or replacement can be carried out in time, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0032] In one embodiment, the housing 3 includes a front housing 31 and a rear housing 32, and the front housing 31 and the rear housing 32 are connected by snaps. The tops of the front housing 31 and the rear housing 32 surround the circumference of the top cover 4 and are connected, which is conducive to improving the stability of the housing 3 while facilitating disassembly; a part of the front housing 31 and the rear housing 32 are connected by snaps, and the other parts are connected by snaps with the side cover 2, so that the housing 3 will not be affected when the side cover 2 is removed.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side cover 2 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks 21 in the circumference, and the housing 3 is provided with a plurality of grooves 331 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​blocks 21 near the notch 33. The snap-fit ​​blocks 21 in the circumference of the side cover 2 and the grooves 331 on the housing 3 are matched and snapped together, and the snap-fit ​​connection can quickly connect the side cover 2 and the housing 3, without the need for any tools or moving the front housing 31 and the rear housing 32, and only a slight pressure is required to lock the snap-fit ​​blocks 21 and the grooves 331 together, so as to achieve a stable connection.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the bottom of the side cover 2 is recessed in a direction away from the ground to form a gripping portion 22. The connection portion between the side cover 2 and the housing 3 may be that both sides of the side cover 2 and the top of the side cover 2 are connected by buckles, and the bottom of the side cover 2 is recessed to form a gripping portion 22, and the gripping portion 22 is convenient for manual and easy opening of the side cover 2, and is convenient for disassembly while ensuring that the side cover 2 and the housing 3 are stably buckled, and the position of the gripping portion 22 will not affect the overall appearance of the cleaning robot.

[0035] In one embodiment, the side cover 2 is provided with an observation port and a side panel 23 corresponding to the observation port. In order to observe the adapter plate 1 more accurately, an observation port is provided on the side cover 2. The openable side panel 23 protects the components inside the housing 3 in the closed state and acts as a seal. Only the side panel 23 can be disassembled, and a window for observing the adapter plate 1 is formed on the side cover 2. If maintenance is not required, the side cover 2 does not need to be removed, and the side cover 2 with a relatively larger area does not need to be opened, thereby reducing the risk of damaging other components during maintenance. Preferably, the material of the side panel 23 is transparent, and the condition of the adapter plate 1 inside the housing 3 can be intuitively observed without disassembly.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the fixing method of the side plate 23 and the connection method of the side cover 2 with the front shell 31 and the rear shell 32 can be consistent, or can be other detachable methods such as threaded connection.

[0037] In one embodiment, the cleaning robot further includes a water tank 5, which is installed inside the housing 3, and the adapter plate 1 is installed on the side wall of the water tank 5. The water tank 5 of the cleaning robot is used for cleaning functions such as mopping the floor, and the adapter plate 1 is fixed to the sheet metal of the side wall of the water tank 5 by screws. The distance between the adapter plate 1 and the side cover 2 is relatively more appropriate, the structure is more compact, and the space utilization rate inside the cleaning robot is improved.

[0038] In the above embodiment, a liquid level sensor is provided in the water tank 5, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the adapter board 1. The path between the liquid level sensor in the water tank 5 and the adapter board 1 on the side wall of the water tank 5 is shorter, the connection is more convenient, and the circuit layout on the adapter board 1 is simplified, which does not take up too much space.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
