DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning system 10 , which includes a base station 100 , a cleaning robot 200 and a clock module 300 .

[0024] The cleaning robot 200 can move by itself and clean the floor. Exemplarily, the cleaning robot 200 can clean the floor by at least one of vacuuming, wet mopping, dry mopping, steam washing, and sucking sewage. Optionally, the robot body 210 is in the shape of a flat cylinder, so that the height of the robot is relatively low, the passability is relatively good, and the outer peripheral wall is a curved surface, which is not easy to be scratched by external objects.

[0025] The base station 100 can be docked with the cleaning robot 200. Optionally, the base station 100 is a base type, and the cleaning robot 200 is located above the base station 100 when returning to the base station 100. Alternatively, the base station 100 has a receiving cavity, and when the cleaning robot 200 returns to the base station 100, the cleaning robot 200 can be at least partially received in the receiving cavity. The base station 100 can perform at least one operation on the cleaning robot 200, such as charging, vacuuming the dust box, replenishing clean water, vacuuming sewage, washing the mop, etc. Exemplarily, when the cleaning robot 200 has low battery, the cleaning robot 200 can first return to the base station 100 for charging, and then continue cleaning after charging is completed.

[0026] The clock module 300 is a timing device, which is widely used in various electronic devices. It can track real-time time and provide accurate time information, and the real-time time is world time. The clock module 300 of the embodiment of the present application is arranged in one of the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200, that is, when the clock module 300 is arranged in the base station 100, the cleaning robot 200 does not need to be provided with the clock module 300, and when the clock module 300 is arranged in the cleaning robot 200, the base station 100 does not need to be provided with the clock module 300. The clock module 300 is used for the timing task of the cleaning robot 200, and the clock module 300 can provide time information, and the cleaning robot 200 performs the timing task according to the time information.

[0027] It should be noted that the scheduled task includes a scheduled task according to the length of time and a scheduled task according to the world time. When the scheduled task is a scheduled task according to the world time, the time information is the time point of the specific time. When the scheduled task is a scheduled task according to the length of time, the time information refers to the duration of continuous work for a period of time. For example, the user can set the cleaning robot 200 to start cleaning the room once at 1 a.m., so as to avoid the time when the user is active during the day to reduce interference with the user. This is a scheduled task according to the world time. Alternatively, the user can set the cleaning robot 200 to clean the room for 1 hour at 8 a.m. every Friday morning. This is a scheduled task according to the length of time. When the cleaning robot 200 returns to the base station 100, in order to save power, it usually adopts a sleep or shutdown mode. When the preset time point of the scheduled task is reached, the clock module 300 can wake up the robot that is dormant or shut down in the base station 100 to start working.

[0028] In summary, since only one of the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200 is provided with the clock module 300, the volume of the base station 100 or the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced to reduce the overall volume of the cleaning system, reduce the complexity of the cleaning system 10, and save costs.

[0029] The cleaning coverage and efficiency of the cleaning robot 200 are important factors that affect the experience. The size of the cleaning robot 200 determines the scenes that the robot 200 can enter and the smoothness of its passage. Therefore, it is more important to reduce the size of the cleaning robot 200 itself. In the related art, the cleaning robot 200 has multiple components inside, some of which are unnecessary components. The unnecessary components will make the cleaning robot 200 relatively bulky, affecting the scenes that the robot 200 can enter and the smoothness of its passage.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the clock module 300 is arranged at the base station 100, and the cleaning robot 200 is connected to the base station 100 for communication to at least synchronize time information. For example, the cleaning robot 200 can also synchronize other information such as cleaning progress information, battery power information, and consumables information with the base station 100. When the time of the scheduled task is reached, the base station 100 can send information to the cleaning robot 200 to wake up the cleaning robot 200. After the cleaning robot 200 obtains the time information, it can start working. Therefore, although the scheduled task is executed by the cleaning robot 200, the clock module 300 is arranged at the base station 100 and does not affect the cleaning robot 200 from executing the scheduled task.

[0031] When the clock module 300 is set in the base station 100, the clock module 300 has a built-in power supply circuit 310 and a power-off holding circuit 320 (described in detail below). The power-off holding circuit 320 can continuously supply power to the base station 100 and will not be affected even when the base station 100 is powered off, which is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of the world time provided by the clock module 300.

[0032] Since the clock module 300 does not need to be provided on the cleaning robot 200, the number of electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, the layout difficulty of the electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, the crosstalk can be reduced, the stability of the electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be improved, and the volume of the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, so that the cleaning robot 200 has better passability and can clean as many areas as possible, thereby improving the cleaning coverage rate. At the same time, the weight of the cleaning robot 200 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the cleaning robot 200 during movement. On the contrary, since the volume of the base station 100 is relatively large, the design cost and risk will not be increased due to the problem of compact space.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 200 includes a robot body 210, a control module 220 and a first communication module 230, and the control module 220 and the first communication module 230 are both arranged in the robot body 210. Optionally, the control module 220 and the first communication module 230 are both arranged on the first PCB board, thereby saving space, and the first PCB board is arranged in the shell of the robot body 210, and the shell of the robot body 210 plays an insulating and protective role for the first PCB board. If the clock module 300 is arranged in the robot body 210, the clock module 300 can be integrated on the first PCB board. The control module 220 is connected to the robot body 210 and the first communication module 230 for communication, and the control module 220 can send and receive information through the first communication module 230, and the control module 220 can control the robot body 210 to run, so that the robot body 210 performs corresponding actions.

[0034] The base station 100 includes a base station body 110 and a second communication module 120, and the second communication module 120 and the clock module 300 are both arranged in the base station body 110. Optionally, the second communication module 120 and the clock module 300 are both arranged in a second PCB board, and the second PCB board is arranged in the shell of the base station body 110, and the shell of the base station body 110 plays an insulating and protective role for the second PCB board. The base station body 110 is electrically connected to the clock module 300, and the base station body 110 can supply power to the clock module 300. Since the base station 100 is basically continuously powered on, the clock module 300 can work stably for a long time. The clock module 300 is connected to the second communication module 120 in communication, and the second communication module 120 can obtain the time information of the clock module 300 and send the time information to the outside.

[0035] The first communication module 230 can communicate with the second communication module 120 to at least synchronize time information. Of course, the first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 are not limited to synchronizing time information, but can also synchronize cleaning progress information, battery power information, etc., which is not limited here.

[0036] Exemplarily, the first communication module 230 can be a first Bluetooth module, and the second communication module 120 can be a second Bluetooth module. The first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 are connected via Bluetooth. Of course, the first Bluetooth module and the second Bluetooth module can also communicate with mobile phones, tablets and other devices.

[0037] Alternatively, the first communication module 230 can be a first wifi module, and the second communication module 120 can be a second wifi module. The first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 communicate via wifi. Of course, the first wifi module and the second wifi module can also be connected to a router, a mobile phone, a tablet, etc.

[0038] Alternatively, the first communication module 230 may be a first infrared module, and the second communication module 120 may be a second infrared module. The first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 communicate via infrared. Of course, the first infrared module and the second infrared module may also be connected to a mobile phone or the like.

[0039] Alternatively, the first communication module 230 can be a first conductive contact, and the second communication module 120 can be a second conductive contact. The first conductive contact and the second conductive contact communicate when they are in contact, so that the signal transmission between the first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 is more stable, the transmission rate is faster, and the anti-interference ability is stronger.

[0040] It should be noted that the first communication module 230 and the second communication module 120 can utilize the communication modules originally provided by the cleaning robot 200 and the base station 100 without any additional configuration. For example, the cleaning robot 200 needs to be provided with an infrared module for positioning, so that the cleaning robot 200 can automatically find its way back to the base station 100, and the embodiment of the present application can utilize the infrared module to send time information, thus, no additional hardware cost is added.

[0041] In some embodiments, the communication connection between the cleaning robot 200 and the base station 100 is a wireless connection, for example, the cleaning robot 200 and the base station 100 are communicated and connected via infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.

[0042] The cleaning robot 200 can actively synchronize time information, so that the cleaning robot 200 can synchronize time information whether it is inside or outside the base station 100. For example, before starting a scheduled task, the cleaning robot 200 actively requests to obtain time information and synchronizes the time information once, so that the cleaning robot 200 obtains accurate world time to execute the scheduled task on time. Alternatively, after a period of time (for example, half an hour) after starting the scheduled task, the cleaning robot 200 actively requests to obtain time information and resynchronizes the time information once, so as to calibrate the current world time of the cleaning robot 200 to accurately calculate the completion progress of the scheduled task.

[0043] Alternatively, the connection between the cleaning robot 200 and the base station 100 is a wired connection, and the cleaning robot 200 synchronizes the time information when it returns to the base station 100. For example, when the cleaning robot 200 returns to the base station 100, the first conductive contact abuts against the second conductive contact, thereby synchronizing the time information. It should be noted that the control module 220 of the cleaning robot 200 usually has a timing function. Before the cleaning robot 200 leaves the base station 100 for cleaning operations, the cleaning robot 200 can synchronize the time information with the base station 100 once, so that the control module 220 of the cleaning robot 200 can perform timing based on the current time information, so that the cleaning robot 200 can know the duration of the work and the current time when working. When the cleaning robot 200 returns to the base station 100 to sleep or shut down, the control module 220 of the cleaning robot 200 is powered off and the time information is lost. When the cleaning robot 200 synchronizes the time information with the base station 100 again before the next work, the duration of the work and the current time can be known when working.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning system 10 can also be connected to a terminal device 400, the terminal device 400 is connected to the first communication module 230 or the second communication module 120, and the terminal device 400 is used to send a scheduled task. Exemplarily, the terminal device 400 can be a mobile phone, the mobile phone is connected to the first communication module 230, and the mobile phone is operated through the corresponding app interface to send a scheduled task to the cleaning robot 200. Alternatively, the terminal device 400 can be a router, and the mobile phone sends a scheduled task to the cleaning robot 200 through the router. Alternatively, the terminal device 400 can be a router, and the smart speaker sends a scheduled task to the cleaning robot 200 through the router. Alternatively, the mobile phone is connected to the second communication module 120, the mobile phone sends a scheduled task to the base station 100, and the base station 100 sends the scheduled task to the cleaning robot 200.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 200 also includes a battery pack 240, which is installed on the robot body 210, and the battery pack 240 is used to power the robot body 210. The battery pack 240 includes a battery module 241 and a circuit board 242 connected to the battery module 241. The battery module 241 is composed of a plurality of battery cells. The circuit board 242 serves as a protection board for the battery module 241, which can protect the battery module 241. The circuit board 242 can record the charge and discharge information, fault information, etc. of the battery module 241, so that engineers can analyze the cause of the battery failure. The clock module 300 is integrated on the circuit board 242, so that the circuit board 242 can also record the specific time corresponding to the information when recording information. The control module 220 is electrically connected to the circuit board 242, so that the control module 220 can obtain time information.

[0046] It should be noted that there are many parts on the cleaning robot 200. In order to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, some parts will be directly purchased from general models rather than customized. Therefore, some parts may be provided with RTC. If another RTC is still designed on the electric control board of the cleaning robot 200 at this time, it will increase the cost and increase the volume of the cleaning robot 200. For example, the battery pack 240 is often purchased from a supplier rather than produced by itself. Therefore, when the clock module 300 is integrated in the battery pack 240, there is no need to additionally set the clock module 300 in the robot body 210, thereby reducing the volume of the cleaning robot 200.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning system 10 further includes a fault detection module 500, which is connected to the clock module 300 and the control module 220 in communication, and the fault detection module 500 is used to detect whether the state of the clock module 300 is normal. In some scenarios, the clock module 300 may fail or the time is inaccurate. If the control module 220 obtains the time information of the clock module 300 at this time, it may cause the control module 220 to be unable to obtain the time or the obtained time is inaccurate, thereby failing to execute the scheduled task or executing the scheduled task at the wrong time. The fault detection module 500 can detect whether the state of the clock module 300 is normal. If the state of the clock module 300 is normal, the control module 220 will obtain the time information, so that the control module 220 can obtain the correct time information.

[0048] The cleaning system 10 also includes an environmental sensor 600, which is arranged at the base station 100, and the cleaning robot 200 can communicate with the environmental sensor 600, and the environmental sensor 600 is used to obtain environmental information, and the cleaning robot 200 can perform corresponding actions according to the environmental information. Since the environmental sensor 600 is arranged at the base station 100, the cleaning robot 200 does not need to be provided with the environmental sensor 600, so that the number of electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, the layout difficulty of the electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, the crosstalk can be reduced, the stability of the electronic components in the cleaning robot 200 can be improved, and the volume of the cleaning robot 200 can be reduced, so that the passability of the cleaning robot 200 is better, and as many areas as possible can be cleaned, and the cleaning coverage rate can be improved. At the same time, the weight of the cleaning robot 200 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the cleaning robot 200 during movement. On the contrary, since the volume of the base station 100 is relatively large, the design cost and risk will not be increased due to the problem of compact space.

[0049] For example, the environment sensor 600 may be a humidity sensor. When the current air humidity is detected to be lower than a certain value, the cleaning robot 200 starts wet mopping to increase the air humidity and improve the user's comfort. When the current air humidity is detected to be higher than a certain value, the cleaning robot 200 starts dry mopping to reduce moisture on the floor.

[0050] The clock module 300 can provide accurate real-time time, which is the world time. The clock module 300 mostly uses a crystal oscillator with high precision as a clock source.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, when the clock module 300 is set in the base station, the clock module 300 includes a power supply circuit 310, a power-off holding circuit 320 and a clock circuit 330.

[0052] The power supply circuit 310 is used to supply power to the clock circuit 330 to provide the voltage required by the clock circuit 330 . The base station body 110 supplies power to the power supply circuit 310 .

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, when the input voltage of the power supply circuit 310 is different from the voltage required by the clock circuit 330, the power supply circuit 310 needs to be transformed so that the output voltage of the power supply circuit 310 is the same as the voltage required by the clock circuit 330. The chip U2 is a voltage transformation module, which is used to convert the voltage into the voltage required by the clock circuit 330. The capacitor C10 is used to filter the input port of the chip U2, and the capacitor C11 is used to filter the output port of the chip U2.

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, when the input voltage of the power supply circuit 310 is appropriate, the power supply circuit 310 does not need to be transformed, and can supply power to the clock circuit 330 through the diode D1. The diode D1 can play a rectifying role and prevent current backflow.

[0055] The power-off holding circuit 320 is connected to the power supply circuit 310, and the clock circuit 330 is connected to both the power supply circuit 310 and the power-off holding circuit 320. The power-off holding circuit 320 can be used as a backup power supply circuit 310 for the clock circuit 330. When the power supply circuit 310 loses power, the power-off holding circuit 320 can continue to supply power to the clock circuit 330 so that the clock circuit 330 can remain on time. The power-off holding circuit 320 is usually powered by a small battery or a super capacitor so that it can keep working even when the main system is powered off. When the base station 100 is powered off, the power-off holding circuit 320 can continue to supply power to the clock circuit 330, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the world time provided by the clock module 300.

[0056] like Figure 8 As shown, the power-off holding circuit 320 includes capacitors C3 and C4. Capacitors C3 and C4 can store electricity to supply power to the clock circuit 330 when the power supply circuit 310 loses power. At this time, the diode D1 can prevent the electric energy of capacitors C3 and C4 from flowing to the power supply circuit 310.

[0057] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, when the clock module 300 is integrated into the battery pack 240 , the clock module 300 includes a power supply circuit 310 and a clock circuit 330 , and the battery module 241 supplies power to the power supply circuit 310 .

[0058] It should be noted that when the clock module 300 is integrated into the battery pack 240, since the power of the battery module 241 is usually impossible to be completely exhausted, and the power consumption of the clock circuit 330 is very small, even if the power of the battery module 241 is very low, the battery module 241 can still power the clock circuit 330 to run for a long time. Therefore, it is not necessary to set the power-off holding circuit 320 in this case to save costs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the clock circuit 330 includes a clock chip U3, a crystal oscillator Y1, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor.

[0060] like Fig.10 As shown, the clock chip U3 includes a clock pin SLC, a data pin SLA, a power input pin VDD, a ground pin VSS, an oscillation input pin OSCI and an oscillation output pin OSCO. The clock pin SLC and the data pin SLA of the clock chip U3 are used to output time information to the outside. For example, the clock pin SLC and the data pin SLA can be connected to the main control board of the cleaning robot or the base station. When the clock module 300 is set in the base station, the power input pin VDD of the clock chip is electrically connected to the power supply circuit 310 and the power-off holding circuit 320; when the clock module 300 is integrated in the battery pack 240, the power input pin VDD of the clock chip is electrically connected to the power supply circuit 310. The ground pin VSS of the clock chip is grounded, the clock output pin CLKOE of the clock chip is connected to the ground pin, and the resistor R25 is used as a pull-down resistor. The interrupt output pin INT of the clock chip is connected to the power supply circuit 310, and the resistor R23 is used as a pull-up resistor.

[0061] A first end of the crystal oscillator Y1 is connected to an oscillation input pin OSCI of the clock chip U3 , and a second end of the crystal oscillator Y1 is connected to an oscillation output pin OSCO.

[0062] One end of the first capacitor is connected to the first end of the crystal oscillator Y1 , and the other end is grounded. The first capacitor is a load capacitor of the crystal oscillator Y1 .

[0063] One end of the second capacitor is connected to the second end of the crystal oscillator Y1, and the other end is grounded. The second capacitor is the load capacitor of the crystal oscillator Y1. Figure 8 As shown, capacitor C1 serves as the first capacitor, and capacitor C2 serves as the second capacitor.

[0064] like Fig.11 As shown, when the main control chip of the control module 220 is integrated with the RTC function, there is no need to set a separate clock chip. Fig.10 The crystal oscillator in the middle is X1, and the crystal oscillator X1 can be directly connected to the pin of the main control chip. At this time, capacitor C14 serves as the first capacitor and capacitor C16 serves as the second capacitor.

[0065] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning robot 200, which includes a robot body 210 and a battery pack 240. The battery pack 240 is arranged on the cleaning robot 200 body and is electrically connected to the cleaning robot 200 body. The battery pack 240 is integrated with a clock module 300. The clock module 300 is used to provide time information, and the cleaning robot 200 performs timing tasks according to the time information.

[0066] A third aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100, which includes a base station 100 body and a clock module 300. The base station 100 body is used to connect with a cleaning robot 200; the clock module 300 is arranged on the base station 100 body, and the clock module 300 is used to provide time information, and the cleaning robot 200 performs a timing task according to the time information.
