Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a mobile home platform, a camera structure and a cleaning system for the mobile home platform. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more household items have entered the home. At present, except for household items that can be moved by themselves (such as cleaning robots), most household items can only be in fixed positions. However, for some household items, if they can be moved, the working range can be effectively improved. Take air purifiers as an example. Air purifiers can usually only effectively purify the room where they are located. In addition, when the room area is large, the effective purification range of the air purifier is difficult to cover the entire room. If the air purifier can be moved, the range of its air purification can be expanded.

[0046] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a home mobile platform 100. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the home mobile platform 100 includes a platform 110, a movable support structure 120 and a camera module 130. The platform 110 is used to set the home object 300, and the movable support structure 120 is connected to the bottom of the platform 110, and the movable support structure 120 is used to support and drive the platform 110 to move. The home object 300 can be set on the home mobile platform 100 in various ways such as fixed setting, integral connection or non-connected placement.

[0047] The platform 110 can be used as a bearing structure for the household object 300, that is, the household object 300 can be arranged on the platform 110. The household object 300 can be, for example, an air purifier, a humidifier, a book, a dehumidifier, an aromatherapy device, or can be a user's commonly used medicine, a water cup, or other objects that may be passed around the home or a cabinet for storing them. The movable support structure 120 is used to support and drive the platform 110 to move. The movable support structure 120 can specifically include, for example, a roller mechanism, a belt sliding mechanism, etc.

[0048] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the movable support structure 120 may include a plurality of legs 121 and universal wheels 122 located on the legs 121 , and the universal wheels 122 enable the home mobile platform 100 to move in various directions.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the household mobile platform 100 can also be combined with the cleaning robot 200 , and the platform 110 is combined with the top of the cleaning robot 200 and can be driven by the cleaning robot 200 to move.

[0050] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the movable support structure in the home mobile platform 100 makes the home mobile platform 100 itself mobile, which can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cleaning robot 200, reduce the driving force of the cleaning robot 200 on the home mobile platform 100, and facilitate the cleaning robot 200 to drive the home mobile platform 100 to move. The cleaning robot 200 can be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, or a sweeping and mopping robot.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the camera module 130 is arranged on the platform 110 to monitor environmental information. Optionally, the camera module 130 is arranged at the edge of the top of the platform 110. During the movement of the home mobile platform 100, the camera module 130 can monitor the situation in every corner of the home, including the switch of smart home (such as smart lights, smart air conditioners, smart cooking appliances) and whether the objects in the home (such as the elderly, babies, pets) are safe, etc.

[0052] Different users have different needs. Some users may only need the home mobile platform 100 to transport home items 300, and they pay more attention to the privacy of the home environment. In this case, there is no need to monitor the home environment through the home mobile platform 100. In addition, different users may need camera modules 130 of different specifications (for example, different heights, different models) to monitor the home environment.

[0053] To solve the above problems, refer to Figures 5 to 13In some embodiments, the camera module 130 includes a connection seat 131 disposed on the platform 110 and a camera structure connected to the connection seat 131. The camera structure includes a camera 132 and a connection rod 133, wherein the camera 132 is disposed on the top of the connection rod 133, and the lower part of the connection rod 133 is used to be detachably mounted on the top of the connection seat 131 so that the camera structure can be detachably mounted on the connection seat 131.

[0054] The camera structure is configured to be detachably mounted on the connecting seat 131, so that the user can install or remove the camera structure as needed, thereby being able to replace the camera structure of different specifications or not setting the camera structure to meet the requirements of different users for the home environment.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A detachable mounting plate 113 is provided on the top of the platform 110, and a clearance space 1131 is provided on the mounting plate 113, and a connecting rod 133 passes through the clearance space 1131. The connecting rod 133 and the connecting seat 131 can be quickly connected, for example, by means of a screw connection, a snap connection, etc. When the camera structure needs to be installed or removed, the connecting rod 133 is separated from the connecting seat 131 and the connecting rod 133 is pulled out through the clearance space 1131, without removing the mounting plate 113, and the operation is relatively simple. In other embodiments, the camera module 130 is exposed as a whole to the outside of the platform 110.

[0056] It should be noted that when the camera structure does not need to be installed on the mobile home platform 100, the mounting plate 113 with the clearance space 1131 can be removed and replaced with another mounting plate without the clearance space and installed on the top of the platform 110, which makes the appearance of the entire mobile home platform 100 more beautiful. At the same time, the mounting plate 113 is set to be detachable, so that the charging cable inside the platform 100 can be easily taken out at any time and used to charge the camera 132.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figures 8 to 12 A mounting portion 134 is provided on the connecting seat 131; a first buckle 1331 is provided on one of the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 and the mounting portion 134, and a first slot 1341 is provided on the other of the two. The first buckle 1331 cooperates with the first slot 1341 so that the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 can be detachably mounted on the mounting portion 134.

[0058] Optional, such as Fig.11 , Fig.12As shown, the connecting rod 133 is provided with a first buckle 1331, and the mounting portion 134 is provided with a first slot 1341. When the connecting rod 133 is connected to the mounting portion 134, the first buckle 1331 cooperates with the first slot 1341, so that the connecting rod 133 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 134.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The bottom of the connecting rod 133 is connected to the first elastic member 135 , and the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 is inserted into the mounting portion 134 , so that the first elastic member 135 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting portion 134 .

[0060] Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 135, the first buckle 1331 and the first slot 1341 abut against each other in the height direction of the mounting portion 134, thereby preventing the connecting rod 133 from being easily separated from the mounting portion 134. When the camera structure needs to be removed, the connecting rod 133 is pressed downward to compress the first elastic member 135, and then the connecting rod 133 is rotated to separate the first buckle 1331 from the first slot 1341, and then the connecting rod 133 can be pulled out to remove the camera structure. In the solution of this embodiment, when installing or removing the camera structure, only simple pressing, rotating, etc. are required to achieve the matching or separation of the first buckle 1331 and the first slot 1341, and the operation is relatively simple.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 The first buckle 1331 is located on the outer wall of the connecting rod 133, the first slot 1341 is located on the inner wall of the mounting portion 134, and the inner wall of the mounting portion 134 is further provided with a guide slot 1342 extending along its height direction, the first slot 1341 is communicated with the guide slot 1342, and the guide slot 1342 is used to cooperate with the first buckle 1331, so that the connecting rod 133 is installed in the mounting portion 134 along the height direction of the mounting portion 134. In this way, when installing or removing the camera structure, the guide slot 1342 guides the connecting rod 133, which can improve the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.

[0062] Specifically, when installing the camera structure, the first buckle 1331 is aligned with the guide groove 1342 and inserted into the mounting portion 134, and the bottom of the connecting rod 133 compresses the first elastic member 135. When the first buckle 1331 moves to the connection point between the guide groove 1342 and the first slot 1341, the first buckle 1331 can be inserted into the first slot 1341 by rotating the connecting rod 133. Then the connecting rod 133 is released, and under the elastic force of the first elastic member 135, the first buckle 1331 abuts against the first slot 1341 in the height direction. When removing the camera structure, the connecting rod 133 is pressed downward so that the bottom of the connecting rod 133 compresses the first elastic member 135 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 135, so as to facilitate the rotation of the connecting rod 133 so as to separate the first buckle 1331 from the first slot 1341, and then the first buckle 1331 is taken out from the mounting portion 134 along the guide groove 1342.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 134 is a hollow long columnar structure, and the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 is received in the hollow long columnar structure.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 One of the top of the connecting rod 133 and the bottom of the camera 132 is provided with a second slot 1321, and the other is provided with a second buckle 1332. The second buckle 1332 is detachably provided in the second slot 1321 so that the camera 132 and the connecting rod 133 are detachably connected. The detachable connection between the camera 132 and the connecting rod 133 allows the user to replace different types of cameras 132.

[0065] Specifically, two second buckles 1332 are provided at the top of the connecting rod 133, and the two second buckles 1332 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the top of the connecting rod 133. Two second slots 1321 are provided at the bottom of the camera 132. Both the second buckles 1332 and the second slots 1321 are arc-shaped.

[0066] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 133 is a retractable structure, and the camera 132 is located on the top of the retractable structure so that the height of the camera 132 can be adjusted. Optionally, the connecting rod 133 includes at least two sections threadedly connected to each other, so as to have a retractable ability, so that the height of the camera module 130 can be adjusted to meet the monitoring needs of different users for the home environment.

[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 , Fig.15 and Fig.16The camera module 130 is movably arranged on the platform 110 so as to be able to switch between the initial position and the detection position. One of the camera module 130 and the platform 110 is provided with a detection member 141, and the other of the camera module 130 and the platform 110 is provided with an action part 150. When the camera module 130 is hit by an external obstacle, the camera module 130 switches to the detection position, the action part 150 cooperates with the detection member 141, and the detection member 141 can be triggered to change the movement direction of the home mobile platform 100.

[0068] It should be noted that the detection member 141 is triggered by a change in the state of a component in the detection member 141, or by detecting certain signals. The camera module 130 can, for example, rotate, slide, or float up and down relative to the platform 110 to switch its position.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, the detection member 141 is a micro switch provided on the camera module 130, and the micro switch includes a main body 144 and an elastic arm 142 connected to the main body 144, and the main body 144 is provided on the platform 110 or the camera module 130. When the camera module 130 is hit by an external obstacle, the camera module 130 switches to the detection position, the action part 150 abuts against the elastic arm 142, and the distance between the main body 144 and the elastic arm 142 changes so that the detection member 141 is triggered. The distance between the main body 144 and the elastic arm 142 is specifically the distance H between the main body 144 and the free end of the elastic arm 142.

[0070] Specifically, the main body 144 is connected to one end of the camera module 130. When the camera module 130 is switched to the detection position, the action part 150 keeps contacting the elastic arm 142, and one end of the camera module 130 is away from the action part 150 so that the distance between the main body 144 and the elastic arm 142 increases, thereby triggering the detection member 141. The action part 150 includes an area on the platform 110 facing and adjacent to the micro switch.

[0071] When the camera module 130 is hit by an external obstacle, the camera module 130 switches to the detection position, which can drive the main body 144 on the micro switch to move together. Since the action part 150 of the platform 110 always keeps abutting against the elastic arm 142, the elastic arm 142 does not move with the micro switch. At this time, the position of the elastic arm 142 remains unchanged, but the main body 144 on the micro switch moves with the camera module 130. At this time, the distance between the main body 144 and the elastic arm 142 increases, so that the detection part 141 is triggered, so that the home mobile platform 100 changes the direction of movement.

[0072] Specifically, the elastic arm 142 is also provided with a roller 143 abutted by the action part 150 on the platform 110, and the roller 143 always keeps in contact with the platform 110. By setting the roller 143, the friction between the platform 110 and the elastic arm 142 is reduced, so as to reduce the wear of the platform 110. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the detection member 141 is a micro switch, and the detection member 141 is triggered and generates a detection signal by the change in the distance between the main body 144 on the detection member 141 and the elastic arm 142. The detection member 141 can certainly be a photoelectric switch; the detection member 141 can also be triggered by blocking the photoelectric switch. That is, in this application, the form of triggering the detection member 141 is not limited to this.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 The platform 110 is provided with a communication module, and the detection element 141 is electrically connected to the communication module, which is used to transmit the triggered information to the cleaning robot 200 through the communication module, so that the cleaning robot 200 drives the home mobile platform 100 to change the movement direction. At the same time, the environmental information (including obstacle information) monitored by the camera module 130 can also be transmitted to the cleaning robot 200 through the communication module, so that the cleaning robot 200 drives the home mobile platform 100 to adjust the movement direction at any time.

[0074] It is understandable that, although the cleaning robot 200 or the platform 110 itself also has the function of avoiding obstacles, because the height of the camera module 130 is usually higher than that of the cleaning robot 200 or the platform 110, when the cleaning robot 200 moves with the home mobile platform 100, it is impossible to ensure that the camera module 130 will not collide with obstacles by relying solely on the obstacle avoidance function of the cleaning robot 200 or the platform 110 itself. If some obstacles are located at a higher position, the obstacle avoidance function of the cleaning robot 200 or the platform 110 itself may fail. Therefore, by using the camera module 130 installed at a higher position as an obstacle recognition component, the surrounding environment of the home mobile platform 100 can be better detected, thereby avoiding higher obstacles (for example: suspended furniture such as wall shelves, wall cabinets or desktops).

[0075] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the home mobile platform 100 further includes a first communication electrode 111 disposed on the side or bottom of the platform 110, and the first communication electrode 111 is used to be electrically connected to the second communication electrode 210 of the cleaning robot 200, so that the home mobile platform 100 communicates with the cleaning robot 200. Optionally, the first communication electrode 111 is disposed at the bottom of the platform 110. In this embodiment, the communication module is the first communication electrode 111, and the detection element 141 is used to transmit the triggered information to the cleaning robot 200 through the first communication electrode 111 and the second communication electrode 210, so that the cleaning robot 200 drives the home mobile platform 100 to change the direction of movement.

[0076] In some embodiments, a first charging electrode 112 is further provided on the side or bottom of the platform 110. The first charging electrode 112 is used to electrically connect to the second charging electrode 220 of the cleaning robot 200, so that the cleaning robot 200 and the household mobile platform 100 can transmit electrical energy to each other. Figure 5 , Fig.15 As shown, the detection member 141 is arranged on the connection seat 131 of the camera module 130, and the connection seat 131 is movably arranged on the platform 110. A first connection structure 136 is fixedly provided on the connection seat 131, and a second connection structure 114 is fixedly provided on the platform 110. The first connection structure 136 and the second connection structure 114 are relatively rotatably connected so that the camera module 130 can rotate relative to the platform 110, thereby enabling the camera module 130 to switch between the initial position and the detection position. The first connection structure 136 cooperates with the second connection structure 114 to position the camera module 130 and realize the movable connection between the camera module 130 and the platform 110. It should be noted that the relative rotation angle between the camera module 130 and the platform 110 is reasonably set according to demand, and there is no special restriction.

[0077] One of the first connection structure 136 and the second connection structure 114 is a concave arc-shaped groove, and the other of the two is an arc-shaped block or an arc-shaped column, and the arc-shaped block or the arc-shaped column is inserted in the arc-shaped groove.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first connection structure 136 is a concave arc groove, and the second connection structure 114 is an arc column disposed on the platform 110. After the arc column is inserted into the concave arc groove, the two can rotate relative to each other. Figure 5 As shown, the concave arc groove has a certain depth, and the camera module 130 is positioned after the arc column is inserted into the concave arc groove.

[0079] Furthermore, in the axial direction of the arc column, the first connecting structure 136 is arranged at intervals at multiple locations. In this way, multiple concave arc grooves are simultaneously matched with the arc column to rotate relative to each other, so that the stability of the camera module 130 during rotation is better. In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 The home mobile platform 100 also includes a reset mechanism 160 disposed on the platform 110. The reset mechanism 160 is configured to restore the camera module 130 from the detection position to the initial position. The reset mechanism 160 stores energy useful for resetting the camera module 130 toward the initial position.

[0080] The reset mechanism 160 can respond to the camera module 130 switching from the initial position to the detection position, and the reset mechanism 160 stores energy for resetting the camera module 130 toward the initial position. When the cleaning robot 200 changes the direction of travel to avoid obstacles, the camera module 130 is reset under the action of the reset mechanism 160, so that it is convenient to avoid obstacles next time. The reset mechanism 160 can be set in multiple places so that when the camera module 130 switches positions, it can make the camera module 130 return to the initial position more stably from the detection position.

[0081] In some embodiments, Fig.15 and 16 As shown, the reset mechanism 160 includes a second elastic member 161 connected to the connection seat 131 of the camera module 130 and a guide column 163 fixed along the height direction of the platform 110. The second elastic member 161 is sleeved on the guide column 163 or connected to the guide column 163, so that the second elastic member 161 elastically abuts against the connection seat 131 of the camera module 130 along the height direction of the platform 110. The second elastic member 161 is, for example, a spring, a spring washer, etc.

[0082] The direction of the elastic force applied by the second elastic member 161 to the camera module 130 is along the height direction of the platform 110. The elastic force of the second elastic member 161 can be set to act on the camera module 130 only along the height direction of the platform 110 to reset the camera module 130, thereby maximizing the performance of the second elastic member 161.

[0083] Further, refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 The reset mechanism 160 further includes a limit plate 164 located at the top of the guide column 163, the connection seat 131 of the camera module 130 is further provided with a limit groove 162, the guide column 163 passes through the limit groove 162, and the second elastic member 161 is arranged between the limit plate 164 and the end surface of the limit groove 162. The guide column 163 can guide the camera module 130 to switch smoothly between the initial position and the detection position.

[0084] In the specific setting, the axial direction of the guide column 163 is parallel to the height direction of the platform 110, one end of the guide column 163 is fixed to the platform 110, the other end of the guide column 163 extends out of the limiting groove 162, the limiting plate 164 is arranged at the other end of the guide column 163, and the second elastic member 161 is arranged between the limiting plate 164 and the end face of the limiting groove 162, so that the reset mechanism 160 stores energy useful for resetting the camera module 130 to the initial position.

[0085] refer to Figure 1-2 , Figure 8 , Fig.16 As shown, in an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, a camera structure for a household mobile platform 100 is provided. The household mobile platform 100 can be combined with a cleaning robot 200. The camera structure includes a connecting rod 133 and a camera 132. The camera 132 is arranged on the top of the connecting rod 133. The lower part of the connecting rod 133 is used to be detachably installed above the connecting seat 131 of the household mobile platform 100 so that the camera structure can be detachably installed on the connecting seat 131.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.12 As shown, a mounting portion 134 is provided on the connecting seat 131; a first buckle 1331 is provided on one of the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 and the mounting portion 134, and a first slot 1341 is provided on the other of the two, and the first buckle 1331 cooperates with the first slot 1341 so that the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 can be detachably mounted on the mounting portion 134; a first elastic member 135 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 133, and the lower portion of the connecting rod 133 is used to be inserted into the mounting portion 134, and the first elastic member 135 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting portion 134; under the elastic force of the first elastic member 135, the first buckle 1331 and the first slot 1341 abut against each other in the height direction of the mounting portion 134.

[0087] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 An embodiment of the third aspect of the present application provides a cleaning system, comprising the home mobile platform 100 described in any embodiment of the first aspect, and a cleaning robot 200. The home mobile platform 100 can be combined with the cleaning robot 200 to establish a communication connection between the home mobile platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200. The home mobile platform 100 may be provided with a communication module electrically connected to the camera module 130, and the communication module is in communication connection with the cleaning robot 200.

[0088] In the cleaning system of the present application, on the one hand, the platform 110 of the home mobile platform 100 can be provided with a home object 300 with a mobile use requirement, and the home object 300 can be an air purifier, a humidifier, a book, a dehumidifier, an aromatherapy device, and can also be a user's commonly used medicine, a water cup, and other objects that may be transferred within the home or a platform 110 or a cabinet for accommodating them. The cleaning robot 200 can drive the home object 300 to move through the home mobile platform 100. Driven by the cleaning robot 200, the home object 300 can be transferred from one position to another position, or from one room to another room. In this way, the working range of the home object 300 can be effectively expanded. On the other hand, the movable support structure 120 of the home mobile platform 100 makes the home mobile platform 100 itself mobile, which can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cleaning robot 200 and reduce the driving force of the cleaning robot 200 on the home mobile platform 100.

[0089] On the other hand, when the cleaning robot 200 changes its working area, it can drive the home mobile platform 100 to move to the new working area. In this process, the camera module 130 can detect the surrounding environment of the home mobile platform 100. The camera structure of the camera module 130 can be disassembled and replaced, so that different specifications of camera structures can be replaced or no camera structure is set to meet the requirements of different users for the home environment.
