[0028] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning system is proposed, comprising: a cleaning base station 100, comprising a power unit 110 and a dust collecting unit 120, the dust collecting unit 120 forming a connected dust receiving port 1201 and a dust collecting air duct 1202, the power unit 110 being used to drive the gas flow in the dust collecting air duct 1202; a cleaning robot 200, detachably arranged on the cleaning base station 100, forming a connected dust storage chamber 201 and a dust exhaust port 202, the dust exhaust port 202 being located at the bottom of the dust storage chamber 201; wherein the cleaning system has a dust moving state and a dust collecting state; in the dust moving state, the dust exhaust port 202 is connected to the dust collecting air duct 1202 through the dust receiving port 1201; in the dust collecting state, the dust collecting air duct 1202 is cut off from the dust exhaust port 202.
[0030] The cleaning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cleaning base station 100 and a cleaning robot 200, wherein the cleaning robot 200 can be detachably arranged on the cleaning base station 100, so that the cleaning robot 200 can be separated from the cleaning base station 100 to clean the space to be cleaned, and can return to the cleaning base station 100 after cleaning for storage; the cleaning base station 100 includes a power unit 110 and a dust collecting unit 120, and the power unit 110 is used to drive the gas flow in the dust collecting duct 1202 of the dust collecting unit 120 during operation, so that the dust collecting unit 120 can use the airflow generated by the power unit 110 to transfer the dirt in the dust collecting duct 1202, which is convenient for the centralized disposal of the dirt. The cleaning robot 200 is formed with a dust storage chamber 201 and a dust exhaust port 202, and the dust storage chamber 201 is communicated with the dust exhaust port 202. It can be understood that the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 has an open state and a closed state. When the cleaning robot 200 is performing a cleaning operation on the space to be cleaned, the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 can be in a closed state. Accordingly, the cleaning robot 200 can use the aforementioned dust storage chamber 201 to temporarily store the dirt collected during the operation, and avoid the secondary escape of the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 through the dust exhaust port 202, and after the cleaning operation is completed, the dust exhaust port 202 can be opened to facilitate the discharge of the dirt in the aforementioned dust storage chamber 201 through the dust exhaust port 202.
[0031] The aforementioned cleaning system has a dust removing state and a dust collecting state. When the cleaning system is in the aforementioned dust removing state, the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 can be connected to the aforementioned dust collecting duct 1202 through the dust receiving port 1201 of the dust collecting part 120, so that the cleaning robot can transfer the collected dirt to the cleaning base station 100, and the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 is located at the bottom of the aforementioned dust storage chamber 201, so that when the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 is in an open state, the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can be discharged under the action of its own gravity and enter the dust collecting duct 1202 through the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201. When the cleaning system is in the aforementioned dust collection state, the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 and the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201 are in a cut-off state, that is, the dust exhaust port 202 and the dust receiving port 1201 are not connected to each other, thereby preventing the power unit 110 from affecting the gas inside the cleaning robot 200 through the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201 and the dust receiving port 1201 when the power unit 110 is running. Furthermore, when transferring dirt between the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning robot, the distribution range of the flowing gas inside the cleaning system can be narrowed and the flow path of the gas can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the wind noise generated when the power unit 110 is running, improving the user experience of the product, reducing the loss of the airflow along the way, and saving the energy consumption of the cleaning system.
[0032] It is understandable that the cleaning system disclosed in the present invention can be used as, but not limited to, a cleaning system such as a sweeping robot system and a sweeping and mopping integrated system in actual applications. Accordingly, the cleaning robot 200 can be used as, but not limited to, a sweeping robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot and other robots for cleaning operations. The aforementioned dirt can be, but not limited to, dust, debris, hair, and the like.
[0033] Taking the above-mentioned cleaning system as a sweeping robot system as an example, the above-mentioned cleaning robot 200 can be a sweeping robot. During the cleaning operation, the cleaning robot 200 can detach from the cleaning base station 100 and move into the space to be cleaned. Accordingly, the cleaning robot 200 can clean the space to be cleaned and use the dust storage chamber 201 to collect the dirt in the space to be cleaned. After the cleaning operation is completed, the cleaning robot 200 can return to the base station. Accordingly, the cleaning system can switch to the above-mentioned dust removal state, so that the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can be transferred to the dust collection duct 1202 through the dust discharge port 202 and the dust receiving port 1201. Since the dust discharge port 202 is located at the bottom of the dust storage chamber 201, the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can be discharged under its own gravity without the need for external force, which is conducive to reducing the noise during the dirt transfer process. After the dirt inside is discharged, the cleaning system can be switched to the dust collection state, so that the airflow generated by the power unit 110 can be used to adjust the position of the dirt in the dust collection duct 1202, so that the dirt can be temporarily stored in the cleaning base station 100. In addition, because in the dust collection state, the dust discharge port 202 and the dust receiving port 1201 are in a cut-off state, it can also avoid the power unit 110 from affecting the gas inside the cleaning robot 200 through the dust receiving port 1201 and the dust receiving port 1201 when the power unit 110 is running, thereby narrowing the distribution range of the flowing gas inside the cleaning system and reducing the flow range of the gas, which is beneficial to reducing the wind noise generated when the power unit 110 is running, improving the user experience of the product, and reducing the loss of the airflow along the way, saving the energy consumption of the cleaning system.
[0034] It should be noted that in the conventional technology, the dirt discharge port of the sweeping robot and the dirt receiving port of the base station can usually only maintain a conductive state, so that when the fan in the base station is running, airflow is usually generated inside the sweeping robot, which leads to a gas flow field with a large distribution range inside the cleaning system, and the gas flow path in the cleaning system is also large. In addition, the air flow channel in the cleaning system often has a variety of opening structures. For example, in addition to the dirt discharge port, the dust box of the sweeping robot usually has a dirt inlet, a fan port, a vent and other openings. The aforementioned dirt inlet is usually configured to be connected to the main brush of the sweeping robot, and is used to provide a port for dirt to enter the dust box during cleaning. The aforementioned fan port is connected to the fan of the sweeping robot. The fan can adjust the internal air pressure of the dust box through the fan port so that the dust box can inhale dirt. The aforementioned vent can provide a ventilation channel for the dust box, so as to provide additional airflow for the dust box during cleaning or dirt transfer; for example, the air duct of the cleaning base station often has an exhaust port in addition to the dirt receiving port to ensure that the base station fan provides continuous wind force. Based on this, when the sweeping robot transfers dirt to the base station, the gas flows through the air flow channel of the cleaning system, not only does it encounter greater resistance, but it also generates stronger noise.
[0035] Compared with the aforementioned conventional technology, the cleaning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the aforementioned setting, and can make the aforementioned dust discharge port 202 and the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201 in a cut-off state during the process of transferring dirt between the cleaning robot 200 and the cleaning base station 100, so as to avoid the power unit 110 from affecting the gas inside the cleaning robot 200 through the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201 and the dust receiving port 1201 when the power unit 110 is running, thereby narrowing the distribution range of the flowing gas inside the cleaning system and reducing the flow stroke of the gas, which is conducive to reducing the wind noise generated when the power unit 110 is running, improving the user experience of the product, and reducing the loss of the airflow along the way, saving the energy consumption of the cleaning system. At the same time, since the cleaning system can be in the aforementioned dust collection state during the process of transferring dirt between the cleaning robot 200 and the cleaning base station 100, the cleaning robot 200 and the cleaning base station 100 are not required to be connected to each other when the power unit 110 is running, and the aforementioned dust storage box does not need to open a vent, which is conducive to reducing the number of ports connected to the dust storage chamber 201 and reducing the noise of the cleaning robot 200 during the cleaning process.
[0036] It can be understood that, taking the scenario when the cleaning robot 200 performs cleaning operations on the ground as an example, the bottom of the aforementioned dust storage chamber 201 refers to the partial area of the dust storage chamber 201 close to the ground.
[0037] It can be understood that, in practical applications, the power unit 110 may include a fan, and the fan may be, but is not limited to, a centrifugal fan or an axial flow fan.
[0038] It should be noted that if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, Figure 2 Schematically shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the cleaning system in a dust collecting state, Figure 4 A schematic cross-sectional view of the cleaning system in the dust removal state is schematically shown, and for the sake of convenience, Figures 2 to 5 Part of the internal structure of the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200 is hidden. It can be understood that in actual applications, in the dust removal state and in the dust collection state, the relative positions of the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200 can be the same, that is, the cleaning robot 200 can be in a state of being set at the cleaning base station 100.
[0039] It is understandable that in actual applications, the cleaning robot 200 can be set to switch to the aforementioned dust collection state after the cleaning robot 200 discharges the dirt inside the dust storage chamber 201 to the dust collection duct 1202 based on the aforementioned dust removal state, and the power unit 110 can be set to be closed in the dust removal state and opened in the dust collection state, so as to further reduce the noise of the cleaning system during the dirt transfer process. In actual applications, the switching control of the cleaning system between the dust removal state and the dust collection state can be manually controlled by the user, or it can be automatically completed by the cleaning system under the control of a preset program, and the opening and closing state switching of the power unit 110 can be manually controlled by the user, or it can be automatically completed by the cleaning system under the control of a preset program, and no excessive restrictions are made here.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the dust collecting section 120 includes: a docking platform 121, the top wall of the docking platform 121 has a docking position, the cleaning robot 200 can be detachably arranged at the docking position, and the dust receiving port 1201 is formed on the top wall of the docking platform 121; a dust collecting pipeline 122, which is formed with a dust collecting air duct 1202, and the power unit 110 is connected to the dust collecting pipeline 122; wherein, at least part of the dust collecting pipeline 122 is arranged in the docking platform 121.
[0041] In this technical solution, the dust collecting section 120 may include a parking platform 121 and a dust collecting pipeline 122, wherein the top wall of the parking platform 121 is provided with a parking position, and accordingly, the cleaning robot 200 can be detachably arranged at the parking position, so that when the cleaning robot 200 performs the cleaning operation of the space to be cleaned, it can start from the parking position, detach from the cleaning base station 100 and move into the space to be cleaned to clean the space to be cleaned, and can return to the parking position after the cleaning operation is completed to be accommodated by the cleaning base station 100, which is conducive to ensuring that the cleaning robot 200 is stably placed when idle, and improves the neatness of the items in the space to be cleaned, so as to facilitate the user's subsequent use.
[0042] The dust collecting pipeline 122 is formed with the dust collecting air duct 1202. Accordingly, the power unit 110 is connected to the dust collecting pipeline 122 so that the power unit 110 drives the gas flow in the dust collecting air duct 1202. The dust receiving port 1201 of the dust collecting unit 120 can be formed on the top wall of the docking platform 121, and at least part of the dust collecting pipeline 122 can be arranged in the docking platform 121. Based on the above arrangement, when the cleaning robot 200 is arranged at the above docking position, since the cleaning robot 200 is located at a position higher than the top wall of the docking platform 121, Therefore, the cleaning robot 200 can be correspondingly higher than the dust receiving port 1201 and the dust collecting pipe 122 and the dust collecting air duct 1202 in the parking platform 121, and then in the aforementioned dust moving state, it can be more conducive to the discharge of the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 to the relatively low dust receiving port 1201 and the dust collecting air duct 1202 under the action of gravity, which can further improve the dirt transfer efficiency between the cleaning robot 200 and the cleaning base station 100, which is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of the dirt movement, reducing the risk of dirt getting stuck during the transfer process, and providing a more reliable guarantee for the dirt collection effect.
[0043] It is understandable that the aforementioned docking platform 121 can be but is not limited to a platform, a guide ramp, etc.; the aforementioned dust collection duct 1202 can be entirely disposed in the docking platform 121 or partially disposed in the docking platform 121.
[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the dust collecting pipeline 122 includes: a dust collecting bin 1221, the air outlet end of the dust collecting bin 1221 is connected to the air inlet end of the power unit 110; a dust receiving bin 1222, which is arranged in the docking platform 121, and the dust receiving port 1201 is connected to the interior of the dust receiving bin 1222; a first connecting pipe 1223, which is connected between the air outlet end of the power unit 110 and the air inlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222; a second connecting pipe 1224, which is connected between the air inlet end of the dust collecting bin 1221 and the air outlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222.
[0045] In this technical solution, the dust collecting pipeline 122 may include a dust collecting bin 1221, a dust receiving bin 1222, a first connecting pipe 1223 and a second connecting pipe 1224. The dust collecting bin 1221 and the dust receiving bin 1222 both have an air inlet end and an air outlet end, wherein the air outlet end of the dust collecting bin 1221 is connected to the air inlet end of the power unit 110, so that when the power unit 110 is running, the gas in the dust collecting bin 1221 can be sucked to promote the flow of gas in the dust collecting bin 1221; the first connecting pipe 1223 is connected between the air outlet end of the power unit 110 and the air inlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222, so that the gas discharged from the power unit 110 can pass through the first connecting pipe 1223. The connecting pipe 1223 discharges into the dust receiving bin 1222, thereby promoting the flow of gas in the dust receiving bin 1222; the aforementioned dust receiving bin 1222 is connected to the aforementioned dust receiving port 1201, so that in the aforementioned dust removal state, the dirt discharged from the dust discharge port 202 can fall into the dust receiving bin 1222 through the dust receiving port 1201; the aforementioned second connecting pipe 1224 is connected between the air outlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222 and the air inlet end of the dust collecting bin 1221, so that when the power unit 110 is running, the airflow can be used to transfer the dirt in the dust receiving bin 1222 to the dust collecting bin 1221 through the second connecting pipe 1224, so that the dust collecting bin 1221 can be used to centrally collect and temporarily store the dirt, which is convenient for the user to clean up later. And based on the above-mentioned settings, the power unit 110 can promote the circulation of airflow inside the dust collecting duct 1202 during operation, reducing the number of connecting ports between the dust collecting duct 1202 and the external environment, thereby helping to reduce wind noise during the dirt transfer process while reducing the risk of dirt overflowing into the external environment, thereby improving the dirt collection effect.
[0046] It is understandable that the dust collecting part 120 may also include a filter element, which may be disposed in the dust collecting bin 1221, so that the dust collecting part 120 may further utilize the filter element to filter the airflow in the dust collecting bin 1221 to prevent dirt from flowing into the power part 110, thereby improving the dirt collection efficiency while ensuring the smooth operation of the power part 110.
[0047] It can be understood that the aforementioned filter part can be but is not limited to a filter screen or a filter bag.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the dust collecting bin 1222 includes: an air inlet section 1222a, one end of which is connected to the first connecting pipe 1223; an air outlet section 1222b, which is connected between the second connecting pipe 1224 and the air inlet section 1222a; wherein, along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, the conduction area of the air inlet section 1222a increases; and / or along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, the conduction area of the air outlet section 1222b decreases.
[0049] In this technical solution, the dust receiving bin 1222 may include an air inlet section 1222a and an air outlet section 1222b, both of which are structures with open ends and hollow inside, and the air inlet section 1222a is connected to the air outlet end, wherein the air inlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222 is formed at the air inlet section 1222a, and accordingly, one end of the air inlet section 1222a can be connected to the first connecting pipe 1223 to facilitate the access to the airflow flowing out of the first connecting pipe 1223, and the air outlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222 is formed at the air outlet section 1222b, and accordingly, one end of the air outlet section 1222b can be connected to the second connecting pipe 1224 to facilitate the reception of the airflow flowing out of the air inlet section 1222a and guide the airflow to the second connecting pipe 1224.
[0050] Along the direction from the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a to the aforementioned air outlet section 1222b, the conduction area of the air outlet section 1222b can be set to be reduced, so that the airflow can form a gradually concentrated flow trend when flowing in the air outlet section 1222b, which is beneficial to improving the gas guiding performance of the air outlet section 1222b. When the diameter of the second connecting pipe 1224 is relatively small, the flow resistance of the gas when it transitions from the dust receiving bin 1222 to the second connecting pipe 1224 can also be reduced, which facilitates the gas to gather in the second connecting pipe 1224, reduces the wind noise generated by the gas when it transitions from the dust receiving bin 1222 to the second connecting pipe 1224, and is beneficial to improving the air outlet and dust removal efficiency of the air outlet section 1222b. It can be understood that the conduction area of the aforementioned air outlet section 1222b refers to the cross-sectional area of the internal space of the air outlet section 1222b perpendicular to the direction from the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b. Considering that the dust receiving bin 1222 needs to be connected to dirt in actual applications and the structural compactness of the product, the maximum conduction area of the dust receiving bin 1222 can be greater than the conduction area of the first connecting pipe 1223 and / or the second connecting pipe 1224. Based on the change of the conduction area of the aforementioned air outlet section 1222b, The optimized setting can ensure the volume of the air outlet section 1222b while avoiding the dust collecting channel from producing a large change in conduction area and a bending area in the transition area between the air outlet section 1222b and the second connecting pipe 1224, thereby reducing the flow resistance and flow loss of the gas when it transitions from the dust receiving bin 1222 to the second connecting pipe 1224, facilitating the gas to gather in the second connecting pipe 1224, reducing the wind noise in the dust collecting duct 1202, and helping to improve the air outlet and dust removal efficiency of the air outlet section 1222b.
[0051] Alternatively, along the direction from the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a to the aforementioned air outlet section 1222b, the conduction area of the air inlet section 1222a can be set to be increased, so that the airflow can form a gradually diffusing flow trend when flowing in the air inlet section 1222a, which is beneficial to improving the gas guiding performance of the air inlet section 1222a, reducing the flow resistance of the gas in the air inlet section 1222a, facilitating the passage of the gas through the air inlet section 1222a, and reducing the wind noise generated when the gas flows in the air inlet section 1222a, and at the same time is beneficial to improving the air intake efficiency of the dust receiving bin 1222. It can be understood that the conduction area of the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a refers to the cross-sectional area of the internal space of the air inlet section 1222a perpendicular to the direction from the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b. Taking into account the need for the dust collecting bin 1222 to connect dirt in actual applications and the compactness of the product structure, the maximum conduction area of the dust collecting bin 1222 can be greater than the conduction area of the first connecting pipe 1223 and / or the second connecting pipe 1224. Based on the change setting of the conduction area of the aforementioned air inlet section 1222a, it is possible to ensure the volume of the air inlet section 1222a while avoiding the dust collecting channel from having a large conduction area change and a bending area in the transition area between the air inlet section 1222a and the first connecting pipe 1223, thereby reducing the flow resistance and flow loss of the gas when it transitions from the first connecting pipe 1223 to the dust receiving bin 1222, reducing the wind noise in the dust collecting duct 1202, and helping to improve the air intake efficiency of the air outlet end.
[0052] It can be understood that in this technical solution, the conduction area of the air inlet section 1222a can be increased while the conduction area of the air outlet section 1222b can be reduced along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, which is beneficial to further reduce the flow loss and wind noise of the gas when flowing through the dust receiving bin 1222, thereby reducing the overall noise of the cleaning system.
[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, there is a smooth transition between the inner wall of the air inlet section 1222a and the inner wall of the air outlet section 1222b; and / or along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, the inner wall of the air inlet section 1222a is a curved surface with a smooth transition; and / or along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, the inner wall of the air outlet section 1222b is a curved surface with a smooth transition.
[0054] In this technical solution, a smooth transition can be set between the inner wall of the air inlet section 1222a and the inner wall of the air outlet section 1222b, which is beneficial to reducing the flow resistance and flow loss of the gas when it transitions from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, reducing the wind noise in the dust receiving bin 1222, and helping to improve the ventilation and dust removal efficiency of the dust receiving bin 1222.
[0055] In this technical solution, the inner wall of the air inlet section 1222a can be set as a smoothly transitioned curved surface along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, which is beneficial to further enhance the guiding performance of the air inlet section 1222a and reduce the gas flow resistance and wind noise of the air inlet section 1222a.
[0056] In this technical solution, the inner wall of the air outlet end section 1222b can be set as a smoothly transitioned curved surface along the direction from the air inlet section 1222a to the air outlet section 1222b, which is beneficial to further enhance the guiding performance of the air outlet section 1222b and reduce the gas flow resistance and wind noise of the air outlet section 1222b.
[0057] It is understandable that, in practical applications, any one, any two, or all of the above three settings of the technical solution may be adopted, and no further limitations are given here.
[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, in some feasible examples, along the direction from the air inlet end to the air outlet end of the dust receiving bin 1222, the inner wall of the dust receiving bin 1222 can be set as a streamlined inner wall, and the cross-sectional area of the dust receiving bin 1222 can be set to first decrease and then increase, thereby helping to reduce the flow loss and wind noise of the gas when flowing through the dust receiving bin 1222, and reducing the overall noise of the cleaning system.
[0059] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the cleaning robot 200 includes: a shell portion 210; a dust storage portion 220, which is arranged on the shell portion 210 and forms a dust storage chamber 201 and a dust exhaust port 202; a driving portion, which is connected to the dust storage portion 220; wherein, when the cleaning robot 200 is located in the parking position, the driving portion is used to drive the dust storage portion 220, so that the dust exhaust port 202 is connected to the dust collecting air duct 1202 through the dust receiving port 1201, or the dust collecting air duct 1202 is cut off from the dust exhaust port 202.
[0060] In this technical solution, the cleaning robot 200 may include a shell part 210, a dust storage part 220 and a driving part, wherein the dust storage part 220 is arranged on the shell part 210, which can improve the position stability and reliability of the dust storage part 220 and provide a guarantee for the stable dust storage of the dust storage part 220; the driving part is connected to the dust storage part 220, and is used to drive at least part of the dust storage part 220 to move relative to the shell part 210. Accordingly, when the cleaning robot 200 is located in the aforementioned parking position, the driving part can be used to drive the dust storage part 220 to make the dust discharge port 202 connected to the dust collecting duct 1202 through the dust receiving port 1201, thereby facilitating the dust storage chamber 201 to discharge dirt into the dust collecting duct 1202, while improving the control convenience of the dust storage part 220, facilitating the cleaning system to switch to the dust removal state, which is conducive to further improving the user experience of the product. When the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the driving unit can also be used to drive the dust storage unit 220 to cut off the dust collection duct 1202 and the dust exhaust port 202, thereby reducing the wind noise of the cleaning robot 200 while facilitating the cleaning system to switch to the dust collection state, which is beneficial to further improve the user experience of the product.
[0061] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the dust storage section 220 includes: a first dust storage box 221, which is arranged in the shell body 210 and is formed with a dust storage cavity 201 and a dust exhaust port 202; a cover body 222, which is hinged to the dust storage box and is used to open or cover the dust exhaust port 202, and the bottom wall of the shell body 210 is provided with a first through port 203, and the dust exhaust port 202 is arranged corresponding to the first through port 203, the cover body 222 is suitable for passing through the first through port 203, and the driving unit is connected to the cover body 222; wherein, when the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the first through port 203 is arranged opposite to the dust receiving port 1201, and the driving unit is used to drive the cover body 222 so that the cover body 222 opens or covers the dust exhaust port 202.
[0062] In this technical solution, the dust storage part 220 may include a first dust storage box 221 and a cover 222, wherein the first dust storage box 221 is formed with the dust storage cavity 201 and the dust discharge port 202. It can be understood that the dust storage cavity 201 can be formed inside the first dust storage box 221, and the dust discharge port 202 can be formed on the bottom wall of the first dust storage box 221; the cover 222 is hinged to the first dust storage box 221 and is connected to the driving part, so that the cover 222 can be driven by the driving part to open or cover the dust discharge port 201 by rotating relative to the first dust storage box 221. 2, which is conducive to further improving the control convenience of the dust storage part 220; the aforementioned dust discharge port 202 is arranged corresponding to the first through port 203 of the shell part 210, so that when the dust discharge port 202 is opened, the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can be discharged to the outside of the shell part 210 through the dust discharge port 202 and the first through port 203, and the cover body 222 is suitable for passing through the aforementioned first through port 203, so that the cover body 222 can be arranged to be at least partially located in the first through port 203 when the dust discharge port 202 is opened, so as to provide space for the flipping of the cover body 222 and reduce the probability of the cover body 222 getting stuck when flipping.
[0063] When the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the first through port 203 and the dust receiving port 1201 can be arranged opposite to each other, and the driving unit can be used to drive the cover body 222 to open or cover the dust discharge port 202. Since the dust receiving port 1201 is located on the bottom wall of the parking platform 121, the positions of the first through port 203 and the dust discharge port 202 can both be higher than the dust receiving port 1201. Further, when the driving unit drives the cover body 222 to open the aforementioned dust discharge port 202, the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can fall toward the dust receiving port 1201 through the dust discharge port 202 and the first through port 203 in sequence under the action of gravity, and enter the dust collecting duct 1202 through the dust receiving port 1201, which is beneficial to further improve the smoothness of dirt transfer in the dust removal state, reduce the probability of dirt jamming, and reduce the dependence on external power when discharging the dirt into the dust collecting duct 1202, which is beneficial to reduce the operating noise and energy consumption of the cleaning system. Correspondingly, when the driving unit drives the cover body 222 to cover the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202, the connection between the dust collection duct 1202 and the dust exhaust port 202 can be cut off by the cover body 222, thereby avoiding the power unit 110 from affecting the gas inside the cleaning robot 200 when it is running, and thus narrowing the distribution range of the flowing gas inside the cleaning system and reducing the flow path of the gas, which is beneficial to reducing the wind noise generated when the power unit 110 is running, improving the user experience of the product, reducing the loss of airflow along the way, and saving energy consumption of the cleaning system.
[0064] It is understandable that the driving part may include a first driving mechanism, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the cover 222 to open or cover the dust discharge port 202; or, the driving part may include a second driving mechanism and a third driving mechanism, wherein the second driving mechanism is used to drive the cover 222 to open the dust discharge port 202, and the third driving mechanism is used to drive the cover 222 to cover the dust discharge port 202. That is, the driving part may drive the cover 222 to perform the covering action and the opening action by the same mechanism, or may drive the cover 222 to perform the covering action and the opening action by two different mechanisms.
[0065] It can be understood that the shell part 210 may include a bottom wall, a peripheral wall and a top wall. Taking the scenario when the cleaning robot 200 is cleaning the ground as an example, the aforementioned bottom wall refers to the side of the shell part 210 close to the ground, the aforementioned top wall refers to the side of the shell part 210 away from the ground, and the aforementioned peripheral wall is connected between the top wall and the bottom wall.
[0066] In some examples, when the cleaning robot 200 is located at the parking position, the orthographic projection of the first through port 203 on the top wall of the parking platform 121 is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the parking platform 121 .
[0067] In this technical solution, when the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the orthographic projection of the first through port 203 on the top wall of the parking platform 121 can be arranged to be within the range of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the parking platform 121. Based on the above arrangement, in the dust removal state, the risk of dirt falling on the top wall of the parking platform 121 can be further reduced, ensuring that the dirt can further fall into the dust receiving port 1201 after falling out through the first through port 203, thereby reducing the risk of dirt escaping and ensuring the dust collection effect of the cleaning system.
[0068] It can be understood that the orthographic projection of the aforementioned first through port 203 on the top wall of the docking platform 121 is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the docking platform 121. The range of the orthographic projection of the first through port 203 on the top wall of the docking platform 121 may be smaller than the range of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the docking platform 121, and is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the docking platform 121; or the boundary of the orthographic projection of the first through port 203 on the top wall of the docking platform 121 coincides with the boundary of the orthographic projection of the dust receiving port 1201 on the top wall of the docking platform 121.
[0069] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some examples, the cleaning robot 200 also includes: a sealing portion 230, which is formed with a dust passage 2301, one end of the sealing portion 230 is disposed on the shell portion 210 and is arranged around the first through port 203, and the dust passage 2301 is connected to the first through port 203; wherein, when the cleaning robot 200 is located in the parking position, the other end of the sealing portion 230 is connected to the top wall of the parking platform 121 and is arranged around the dust receiving port 1201, and the first through port 203 is connected to the dust receiving port 1201 through the dust passage 2301.
[0070] In this technical solution, the cleaning robot 200 may further include a sealing portion 230 formed with a dust passage 2301. The sealing portion 230 is arranged around the first through port 203 and one end of the sealing portion 230 is connected to the shell portion 210. When the cleaning robot 200 is located in the parking position, the other end of the sealing portion 230 can be connected to the top wall of the parking platform 121 and arranged around the dust receiving port 1201, so that the aforementioned first through port 203 can be connected to the dust receiving port 1201 through the dust passage 2301. Based on the aforementioned setting, the cleaning system can use the sealing portion 230 to seal the gap between the shell portion 210 and the top wall of the parking platform 121 during the dirt transfer process, and use the dust passage 2301 to ensure the connection relationship between the first through port 203 and the dust receiving port 1201, thereby ensuring that the dirt is transferred smoothly while reducing the risk of dirt escaping to the outside, which is conducive to the cleaning system to more reliably transfer and collect dirt.
[0071] In some examples, the dust storage section 220 includes: a second dust box, which is formed with a dust storage cavity 201 and a dust exhaust port 202, a second through port is opened on the peripheral wall of the shell part 210, and the second dust box is movably arranged on the shell part 210 so that the second dust box can extend out or retract into the shell part 210 through the second through port; when the second dust box extends out of the shell part 210, the dust exhaust port 202 is in an open state; when the second dust box is retracted into the shell part 210, the shell part 210 covers the dust exhaust port 202; wherein, the driving unit is connected to the second dust box, and when the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the driving unit is used to drive the second dust box to extend out of the shell part 210 so that the dust exhaust port 202 is arranged opposite to the dust receiving port 1201, or to drive the second dust box to retract into the shell part 210.
[0072] In this technical solution, the dust storage section 220 may include a second dust box movably arranged on the shell part 210, and the second dust box is formed with the aforementioned dust storage cavity 201 and the dust exhaust port 202. It can be understood that the aforementioned dust storage cavity 201 can be formed inside the second dust box, and the aforementioned dust exhaust port 202 can be formed on the bottom wall of the second dust box; the second dust box is connected to the driving part, and can be driven by the driving part to extend or retract into the shell part 210 through the second through port on the shell part 210 by moving relative to the shell part 210, and when the second dust box extends out of the shell part 210, the dust exhaust port 202 is in an open state, and when the second dust box is retracted into the shell part 210, the shell part 210 covers the dust exhaust port 202, thereby facilitating the cleaning robot 200 to use the second dust box to temporarily store dirt or discharge dirt to the outside.
[0073] Accordingly, when the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, the driving unit can be used to drive the second dust box to extend out of the shell part 210 so that the dust exhaust port 202 and the dust receiving port 1201 are arranged opposite to each other, or to drive the second dust box to retract into the shell part 210, so that when the driving unit drives the second dust box to extend out of the shell part 210 so that the dust exhaust port 202 and the dust receiving port 1201 are arranged opposite to each other, the dirt in the dust storage chamber 201 can fall into the dust receiving port 1201 through the dust exhaust port 202 to facilitate the transfer of dirt; when the driving unit drives the second dust box to retract into the shell part 210, the escape of dirt can be avoided, and the power unit 110 can be prevented from affecting the gas inside the cleaning robot 200 during operation, thereby narrowing the distribution range of the flowing gas inside the cleaning system and reducing the flow range of the gas, which is beneficial to reducing the wind noise generated when the power unit 110 is in operation, improving the user experience of the product, and reducing the loss of airflow along the way, saving energy consumption of the cleaning system. Furthermore, since the second through opening is opened on the peripheral wall of the shell portion 210, the second dust storage box can be extended and retracted laterally through the shell portion 210, and thus when the cleaning robot 200 is in the parking position, structural interference between the second dust storage box and the top wall of the parking platform 121 can be avoided, which is beneficial to ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning system operation.
