Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the structure of an intelligent cleaning device and a cleaning system including the intelligent cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Smart cleaning equipment refers to smart mobile devices that autonomously perform cleaning tasks, such as smart sweepers, smart floor scrubbers, window cleaning robots, etc. Smart cleaning equipment can use dry cleaning components to clean the traveling surface (such as the surface to be cleaned) while traveling on the traveling surface. The dry cleaning components here are usually removably mounted on the housing of the smart cleaning equipment, and include a main brush, a dust box, and a suction device that work in conjunction with each other. The main brush is installed in the housing of the smart cleaning equipment. During the normal operation of the smart cleaning equipment, the main brush can rotate to roll up dry dirt such as dust and hair on the traveling surface, and the dry dirt is sucked into the dust box under the suction action of the suction device.

[0003] In existing intelligent cleaning devices, on the one hand, in order to ensure that the dust box body is installed in place, a first detection component including a set of Hall sensors that cooperate with each other can be provided; on the other hand, in order to ensure that the dust box cover closes the opening of the box body, a second detection component including another set of magnets and Hall sensors that cooperate with each other can be provided. Although different detection components can realize detection functions for specific purposes (that is, the first detection component detects whether the box body is installed in place, and the second detection component detects whether the opening of the box body is closed by the cover), different detection components not only take up too much space, but also make the hardware structure and software logic of the intelligent cleaning device complicated, increasing the design difficulty and cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above problems of the prior art, one object of the present disclosure is to provide an intelligent cleaning device that can use the same detection component to simultaneously realize two detection functions, thereby saving the space occupied by the detection component, simplifying the corresponding hardware structure and software logic, and reducing the design difficulty and cost. Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a cleaning system including the above intelligent cleaning device.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] The present disclosure provides the following intelligent cleaning device, comprising:

[0009] A detection component includes a magnet and a Hall sensor, one of which is fixed relative to the box cover, and the other of which is fixed relative to the casing, so that when the box body is installed in the installation space and the box cover closes the opening, the Hall sensor is triggered by the magnet.

[0015] In another optional solution, the magnet is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the magnet is installed in the installation sleeve and exposed radially outward through an opening of the installation sleeve.

[0016] In another optional scheme, it also includes a return torsion spring, which is sleeved on the connecting shaft, the first end of the return torsion spring abuts against the connecting shaft, and the second end of the return torsion spring abuts against the box body or the casing, so that the return torsion spring always applies a spring force to the box cover to close the opening.

[0017] In another optional solution, the magnet and the Hall sensor approach and move away from each other by relative rotation, and

[0018] When the box body is installed in the installation space and the box cover closes the opening, the distance between the magnet and the Hall element of the Hall sensor is the smallest.

[0019] The present disclosure also provides a cleaning system as follows, comprising a cleaning pile and the intelligent cleaning device described in any one of the above technical solutions, wherein the intelligent cleaning device can dock at the cleaning pile to empty the dust box.

[0020] In an optional solution, the cleaning pile includes a suction port. When the intelligent cleaning device is docked on the cleaning pile, the suction port is opposite to the opening of the dust box body, so that the suction force formed by the suction port opens the dust box cover and empties the dust box.

[0021] In another optional solution, the cleaning pile includes a charging system, and the intelligent cleaning device includes a rechargeable battery. When the intelligent cleaning device is docked on the cleaning pile, the rechargeable battery is electrically connected to the charging system.

The dust box includes a box body and a box cover, the box body is installed in the above installation space and is formed with an opening, the box cover is installed on the box body and can move relative to the box body so that the opening of the box body is opened or closed. Further, the detection component includes a magnet and a Hall sensor that cooperate with each other, one of the magnet and the Hall sensor is relatively fixed to the box cover, and the other of the magnet and the Hall sensor is relatively fixed to the casing, so that the Hall sensor is triggered by the magnet when the box body is installed in the installation space and installed in place and the box cover does close the opening.

[0023] In this way, the same detection component consisting of only a set of magnets and Hall sensors can be used to determine whether the dust box body is installed in place and whether the box cover has indeed closed the opening of the box body. Compared with the solution of respectively realizing the above two detection functions through different detection components, the space occupied by the detection component is saved, the corresponding hardware structure and software logic are simplified, and the design difficulty and cost are reduced.

[0043] The following describes the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of understanding, the elements shown in the drawings may include elements whose sizes and scales are different from the actual sizes and scales.

[0044] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "front (front side)", "rear (rear side)", "left (left side)", "right (right side)", "upper (upper side)", and "lower (lower side)" are all relative to the normal operating state of the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure. Specifically, the intelligent cleaning device has a positive direction of movement (i.e., positive direction) when it is in a normal operating state on the traveling surface (e.g., the surface to be cleaned). The so-called "normal operating state" refers to the moving state of the intelligent cleaning device when performing a task, which is different from the abnormal normal operating state of the intelligent cleaning device such as retreating and swinging in the escape mode. "Front (front side)" and "rear (rear side)" refer to the front side and rear side in the positive forward direction of the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure when it is in normal operating state. "Left (left side)" and "right (right side)" refer to the left side and right side when viewed toward the front side in the positive forward direction when the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure is in normal operating state. "Up (upper side)" and "down (lower side)" refer to the upper side and lower side in the height direction perpendicular to the traveling surface when the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure is in normal operating state.

[0045] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the "top" and "bottom" of each component refer to the top and bottom respectively when the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure is in normal operating state, that is, the top refers to the part that is away from the traveling surface and located on the upper side in the up and down direction when the intelligent cleaning device is in normal operating state, and the bottom refers to the part that is close to the traveling surface and located on the lower side in the up and down direction when the intelligent cleaning device is in normal operating state.

[0046] In the present disclosure, the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure can move autonomously according to the control scheme preset in its processing unit, and the traveling surface where the intelligent cleaning device moves autonomously can be a plane or a curved surface with a large radius of curvature, typically, for example, the floor of each room in a building. The processing unit in the present disclosure is a general term, and the type, quantity and form of the processing unit are not limited. Specifically, the processing unit can be one or more of MCU, DSP, FPGA, GPU, or other types of hardware chips, processors or software algorithms with data processing and computing capabilities. Further, the processing unit can be a unified and unique processor of the intelligent cleaning device, or it can be a collection of multiple processing units, and the connection mode, function and computing power distribution of multiple processing units can be adjusted as needed. For example, in an optional scheme, a first processing unit and a second processing unit can be included. In this case, the first processing unit and the second processing unit as a whole realize the various functions of the above-mentioned processing units. In addition, the processing unit of the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure can receive parameters from the sensing component, and can perform relevant control on the intelligent cleaning device through a preset program stored in the storage unit. In the present disclosure, the data, information, and programs required by the processing unit during the processing process can be stored in the storage unit and obtained from the storage unit as needed. The processing unit can store the processed data, information, etc. in the storage unit again. The storage unit can be a RAM, ROM, etc., or a device and / or equipment with storage function such as a cloud / server / mobile terminal connected via a wired / wireless network.

[0047] The intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figures 1A to 3C As shown, the intelligent cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 1, a dust box 2, a detection component (including a magnet 3 and a Hall sensor 4), a connecting component 5 and a reset torsion spring 6 assembled together.

[0049] In the optional schemes of this embodiment and its variations, the casing 1 may have various shapes such as D-shape, oval, square, etc. When the intelligent cleaning device is in normal operation, the bottom surface of the casing 1 is opposite to the traveling surface (such as the surface to be cleaned), and the bottom surface of the casing 1 is usually parallel to the traveling surface. Here, "parallel" not only includes the situation that the bottom surface of the casing 1 and the traveling surface have a geometric parallel relationship, but also includes the situation that the two are roughly parallel. The above "roughly" means that within the reasonable error range recognized by technical personnel in this field, it can be determined that the parallel relationship between the two is established. In addition, in order to support and protect other components, other components of the intelligent cleaning device are installed inside or on the surface of the casing 1, or have a connection relationship with the casing 1. Furthermore, the intelligent cleaning device may be provided with a processing unit and a sensing component in the casing 1. The processing unit can obtain environmental parameters through the sensing component, and the processing unit can control the entire intelligent cleaning device to move autonomously on the traveling surface based on the obtained environmental parameters. Further, as Figure 1A As shown, the housing 1 has an installation space for installing the dust box 2. The present disclosure does not limit the size and shape of the installation space, as long as the size and shape of the installation space match the size and shape of the dust box 2 (mainly referring to the box body 21).

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 2A , Figure 2B , Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the dust box 2 includes a box body 21 and a box cover 22 assembled together. On the one hand, as described above, the box body 21 has a size and shape that matches the installation space of the housing 1, so that the box body 21 can be installed on the housing 1 in a detachable manner; on the other hand, a storage space for storing dry dirt such as dust and hair is formed inside the box body 21, so that the dry dirt cleaned from the traveling surface by the dry cleaning component of the intelligent cleaning device can be sucked into the storage space and stored in the storage space. In addition, the box body 21 is formed with an opening 21p, and the storage space can be connected to the outside via the opening 21p. Further, the box cover 22 is configured in a flat plate shape. The box cover 22 is mounted on the box body 21 and is located at the above-mentioned opening 21p of the box body 21. The box cover 22 can rotate relative to the box body 21 via the connecting component 5, so that the box cover 22 can open or close the opening 21p. In an optional solution, the box cover 22 can be directly rotatably connected to the box body 21, thereby achieving the same function.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figures 2A to 3CAs shown, the detection assembly includes a magnet 3 and a Hall sensor 4 that cooperate with each other. The magnet 3 is a permanent magnet and is formed in a cylindrical shape. The magnetic field strength of the cylindrical magnet 3 is more uniform, which is conducive to accurately controlling the magnet 3 to trigger the Hall sensor 4 by controlling the distance between the magnet 3 and the Hall element of the Hall sensor 4. The magnet 3 is fixedly installed in the mounting sleeve 522 of the connecting assembly 5, so that the magnet 3 is relatively fixed to the box cover 22 via the connecting assembly 5, so that the magnet 3 can rotate relative to the box body 21 with the box cover 22. The Hall sensor 4 is constructed as a circuit board assembly including a Hall element, a signal amplifier, a filter capacitor and a circuit board, and other components are arranged on the circuit board and they are connected in a predetermined electrical circuit. The Hall element is constructed as a switch-type Hall element that can be triggered by the magnetic field of the magnet 3 at a predetermined distance based on the Hall effect. The Hall sensor 4 can be directly installed on the housing 1, so that the Hall sensor 4 is relatively fixed to the housing 1. Only when the box body 21 is installed in place and the box cover 22 closes the opening 21p of the box body 21, the distance between the magnet 3 and the Hall element (sensing part) of the Hall sensor 4 is less than or equal to the predetermined distance (the predetermined distance can be the minimum distance at which the magnetic field of the magnet 3 can trigger the Hall element), the magnet 3 can trigger the Hall sensor 4. The above-mentioned sensing part is constructed so that the Hall element can be triggered only when the magnetic flux passing through the sensing part is large enough. Once the box body 21 is not installed in place or the box cover 22 does not close the opening 21p of the box body 21, the distance between the magnet 3 and the Hall element (sensing part) of the Hall sensor 4 is greater than the predetermined distance, and the magnet 3 cannot trigger the Hall sensor 4.

[0052] In this embodiment, if Figures 2A to 3CAs shown, the connecting assembly 5 is installed on the box cover 22, and the magnet 3 is fixedly installed on the connecting assembly 5, so that the magnet 3 is relatively fixed to the box cover 22 via the connecting assembly 5. Specifically, the connecting assembly 5 includes a connecting shaft 51 and a connecting member 52. The connecting shaft 51 is formed into a cylindrical shape extending in a straight line along the left and right directions and is fixed to the edge of the box cover 22 in a manner parallel to the edge of the box cover 22. The connecting shaft 51 is rotationally connected to the box body 21, so that the box cover 22 can rotate relative to the box body 21 via the connecting shaft 51. Further, the connecting member 52 includes a connecting sleeve 521 and a mounting sleeve 522 fixed to each other. The connecting sleeve 521 is coaxial with the connecting shaft 51 and is sleeved on one end of the connecting shaft 51, so that the connecting member 52 is fixed to the connecting shaft 51. The mounting sleeve 522 extends linearly along the radial direction of the connecting shaft 51 from the connecting sleeve 521 toward the radial outer side of the connecting shaft 51, and the magnet 3 is mounted on the mounting sleeve 522, so that the magnet 3 is fixedly mounted on the connecting member 52, thereby the magnet 3 is relatively fixed to the box cover 22 via the connecting member 52 and the connecting shaft 51. In this way, compared with the solution in which the magnet 3 is directly mounted on the box cover 22, the connecting assembly 5 is conducive to adjusting the relative position relationship between the magnet 3 and the box cover 22 and the magnet 3 and the Hall sensor 4, so that the setting position and structure of the detection assembly are more flexible. Moreover, the connecting assembly 5 not only makes the setting position and structure of the detection assembly more flexible, but also realizes the function of the box cover 22 rotating relative to the box body 21 to open and close the opening 21p of the box body 21, which can simplify the structure of the entire intelligent cleaning device.

[0053] In this embodiment, if Figures 2A to 3C As shown, the return torsion spring 6 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 51, the first end of the return torsion spring 6 abuts against the connecting shaft 51, and the second end of the return torsion spring 6 abuts against the box body 21, so that the return torsion spring 6 always applies a spring force to close the opening 21p to the box cover 22. In this way, it is beneficial for the box cover 22 to be in close contact with the box body 21, thereby effectively closing the opening 21p of the box body 21. Moreover, after the box cover 22 is opened, it can be reset under the action of the spring force of the return torsion spring 6.

[0054] By adopting the above scheme, the same detection component consisting of only one set of magnets 3 and Hall sensors 4 can be used to determine whether the dust box 2 body 21 is installed in place and whether the box cover 22 actually closes the opening 21p of the box body 21. Compared with the solution of realizing the above two detection functions respectively by different detection components, it can save costs and installation space, and can reduce the complexity of the corresponding hardware structure and the logical judgment of the processing unit. Specifically, when the box body 21 of the dust box 2 is installed in place and the box cover 22 actually closes the box body 21, the magnet 3 can trigger the Hall sensor 4, and the processing unit confirms that the box body 21 and the box cover 22 of the dust box 2 are in the desired state according to the amplified signal fed back by the detection component. At this time, the processing unit can control the intelligent cleaning device to work normally. Moreover, in order to more accurately detect that the box body 21 of the dust box 2 is installed in place and the box cover 22 closes the opening 21p of the box body 21, the magnet 3 can be exposed radially outward through the opening 21p of the mounting sleeve 522, and when the box body 21 is installed in the mounting space and the box cover 22 closes the opening 21p, the distance between the magnet 3 and the Hall element (sensing part) of the Hall sensor 4 is the smallest. In addition, if the box body 21 is not installed in place or the box cover 22 does not close the opening 21p of the box body 21, the distance between the magnet 3 and the Hall element (sensing part) of the Hall sensor 4 is too far so that the magnet 3 cannot trigger the Hall sensor 4, and thus the processing unit will trigger an alarm to prompt the user, and the user can check and take corresponding measures.

[0055] A cleaning system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.

[0056] The cleaning system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cleaning pile and the intelligent cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure described above, and the intelligent cleaning device can be docked on the cleaning pile to empty the dust box 2. Specifically, the cleaning pile may include a suction port, and when the intelligent cleaning device is docked on the cleaning pile, the suction port is opposite to the opening 21p of the box body 21 of the dust box 2. The motor in the cleaning pile drives a suction unit such as a vacuum cleaner to suck the airflow and generate negative pressure, thereby using the negative pressure generated by the airflow to provide sufficient suction force through the suction port to overcome the spring force of the reset torsion spring 6, so that the suction force formed by the suction port opens the box cover 22 of the dust box 2 and empties the dust box 2. In this way, the motor and suction unit of the cleaning pile can drive the airflow to automatically open the box cover 22 of the dust box 2 to empty the dry dirt in the dust box 2, thereby realizing fully automated operation, simplifying the work of emptying the dust box 2 and saving labor. In addition, the cleaning pile can also be a base station with functions such as cleaning the dust box, charging, and / or cleaning the mop. At this time, the cleaning pile can also include a charging system, and the intelligent cleaning device includes a rechargeable battery. For example, the charging system can be connected to an external power source via a transformer to charge the rechargeable battery of the smart cleaning device. When the smart cleaning device is docked on the cleaning pile, the rechargeable battery and the charging system can be electrically connected through electrical connection structures such as elastic contacts, so that the rechargeable battery of the smart cleaning device can be charged while the cleaning pile empties the dust box 2 of the smart cleaning device.

[0057] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and changes to the above embodiments under the guidance of the present disclosure without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The following supplementary explanation is provided for the technical solution of the present disclosure.

[0058] i. It is understood that in addition to the examples of self-moving cleaning devices described in the above specific embodiments, the technical concept of the present disclosure can also be applied to other fields. For example, in some cases where two or more detection functions need to be implemented simultaneously using the same detection component, the technical concept of the present disclosure can be adopted as needed.

[0059] ii. In the above specific embodiments, the box cover 22 can rotate relative to the box body 21, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other optional solutions, the box cover 22 can perform relative linear motion relative to the box body 21, as long as the box cover 22 can open and close the opening 21p of the box body 21.

[0060] Further, in the above specific embodiments, the box cover 22 is installed on the box body 21 via the connecting shaft 51 of the connecting assembly 5, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other optional schemes, the box cover 22 can be installed on the box body 21 via other structures (such as a connecting rod mechanism or a slide rail).

[0061] iii. In the above specific embodiments, the magnet 3 is fixed to the cover 22 of the dust box 2 via the connecting assembly 5, and the Hall sensor 4 is fixed to the housing 1, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other optional schemes, the magnet 3 can be fixed to the housing 1, and the Hall sensor 4 can be fixed to the cover 22 of the dust box 2. That is to say, in the technical concept of the present disclosure, one of the magnet 3 and the Hall sensor 4 is relatively fixed to the cover 22, and the other of the magnet 3 and the Hall sensor 4 is relatively fixed to the housing 1, so that when the box body 21 is installed in the installation space and the cover 22 closes the opening 21p, the magnet 3 can trigger the Hall sensor 4, and the purpose of the present disclosure can be achieved.

[0062] Furthermore, in the above specific embodiments, the Hall sensor 4 is fixed to the top (e.g., the cover) of the housing 1, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other optional solutions, the Hall sensor 4 can also be fixed to other parts of the housing 1 (e.g., the base at the bottom of the housing 1), and the relative position of the magnet 3 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0063] Further, in the above specific embodiments, the magnet 3 approaches and moves away from each other by relative rotation relative to the Hall sensor 4, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The magnet 3 and the Hall sensor 4 may approach and move away from each other by other relative motions, which is mainly determined by the way in which the box body 21 and the box cover 22 of the dust box 2 are connected to each other.

[0064] iv. It can be understood that the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure may also include a wheel assembly, a dry cleaning assembly and a wet cleaning assembly. The wheel assembly can be mounted on the housing 1, and is used to drive the entire intelligent cleaning device to travel on the travel surface under the control of the processing unit. By rotating the wheels (driving wheels) of the two wheel assemblies at the same speed in the same direction (for example, rotating clockwise or counterclockwise at the same time), the intelligent cleaning device can be driven to move linearly along the forward direction; by rotating the driving wheels of the two wheel assemblies at different speeds and / or different directions (for example, one driving wheel rotates clockwise and the other driving wheel rotates counterclockwise), the intelligent cleaning device can be driven to turn in a direction different from the forward direction. The intelligent cleaning device may also include a universal wheel disposed on the housing 1, so that no matter how the driving wheel rolls on the surface to be cleaned, the universal wheel can support the entire intelligent cleaning device. The dry cleaning assembly is disposed on the housing 1 and may include a main brush, a side brush (side brush) and a suction device, etc. The wet cleaning assembly is disposed on the housing 1 and may include a rag and a water tank, etc. Thus, when the intelligent cleaning device is moving on the traveling surface, the traveling surface can be cleaned by the dry cleaning component and / or the wet cleaning component. In different working modes, the cleaning operations performed by the intelligent cleaning device according to the present disclosure include but are not limited to one or more of sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, etc.
