[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a mobile robot 100, which relates to the field of robot technology. The mobile robot 100 is, for example, a swimming pool cleaning robot, a sweeping robot, a lawn mower, etc.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile robot 100 provided in this embodiment includes: a body 110 , a first running wheel 120 , a second running wheel 130 , a track 140 and an auxiliary wheel 150 .

[0041] The first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130 are arranged at intervals and are rotatably arranged on the machine body 110. The crawler 140 is arranged around the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130, that is, the crawler 140 is arranged in a ring shape on the machine body 110, so that the crawler 140 has an outer peripheral side and an inner side surface. The first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130 are respectively meshed with the crawler 140, and the auxiliary wheel 150 is located between the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130, and is rotatably arranged on the machine body 110, and the outer peripheral side of the auxiliary wheel 150 supports the inner side surface of the crawler 140.

[0042] In the related art, the swimming pool cleaning robot is equipped with a crawler and two running wheels, the outer circumference of each running wheel is respectively engaged with the crawler, and the crawler is driven to rotate when the two running wheels rotate, so that the swimming pool cleaning robot can crawl along the bottom and wall of the swimming pool. However, during the crawling process of the swimming pool cleaning robot, due to the certain distance between the two running wheels, the middle part of the crawler is relatively loose, and the outer circumference of the crawler is not sufficiently fitted with the bottom and wall of the pool, so that the friction force is insufficient during the crawling process, and slipping is likely to occur, which is not conducive to the swimming pool cleaning robot to perform wall climbing operations.

[0043] It is understandable that the mobile robot 100 provided in this embodiment is provided with an auxiliary wheel 150 between the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130. The auxiliary wheel 150 is rotatably provided on the body 110, and the outer peripheral side of the auxiliary wheel 150 is supported on the inner side of the crawler 140 and can rotate with the crawler 140. In this way, the auxiliary wheel 150 applies pressure to the middle part of the crawler 140, so that the crawler 140 is in a tight state during the crawling process of the mobile robot 100, thereby improving the phenomenon of insufficient friction and slipping, and improving the working efficiency of the mobile robot 100.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a support column 160 is disposed on the body 110 , and the auxiliary wheel 150 is coaxially disposed with the support column 160 and is rotatably connected to an end of the support column 160 away from the body 110 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the support column 160 is provided on the machine body 110 to facilitate the arrangement and installation of the auxiliary wheel 150. At the same time, the support column 160 plays a role in supporting the auxiliary wheel 150, so that the auxiliary wheel 150 can stably support the inner side of the crawler 140 to keep the crawler 140 in a taut state.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, further, the support column 160 includes a column 161 and a plurality of side wings 162, one end of the column 161 is connected to the body 110, and the end of the column 161 away from the body 110 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary wheel 150, and the plurality of side wings 162 are arranged at intervals along the outer peripheral side of the column 161 and are respectively connected to the body 110.

[0047] Exemplarily, one end of the column 161 away from the body 110 is connected to the auxiliary wheel 150 via a bearing, or is provided through a rotating shaft passing through the auxiliary wheel 150 , so that the auxiliary wheel 150 can rotate relative to the support column 160 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the auxiliary wheel 150 can rotate around the center line of the column 161, and the multiple side wings 162 can play a role in strengthening the structural strength. When the column 161 has a tendency to deform, the multiple side wings 162 can apply a fixed stress to the column 161 to resist the deformation stress generated by the deformation of the column 161, so that the column 161 maintains its original shape, thereby improving the structural strength of the support column 160, so that the support column 160 can better support the auxiliary wheel 150.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the body 110 includes a casing 111 and a bottom guard plate 112, the first running wheel 120, the second running wheel 130 and the auxiliary wheel 150 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the casing 111, the bottom guard plate 112 is connected to the casing 111, and is located between the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130, and is used to support the inner side of the track 140.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting a bottom guard plate 112 between the first walking wheel 120 and the second walking wheel 130, the bottom guard plate 112 can support the inner side of the track 140, play a role in limiting and guiding the track 140, and reduce the risk of wrinkling and loosening of the track 140, thereby improving the phenomenon of insufficient friction and slipping, and improving the operating efficiency of the mobile robot 100.

[0051] like Figure 3 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, further, the bottom guard plate 112 extends between the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130 , and an escape opening 11211 is provided on the bottom guard plate 112 , and the escape opening 11211 is used to escape the part of the auxiliary wheel 150 supported on the inner side of the crawler track 140 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the bottom guard plate 112 extends between the first walking wheel 120 and the second walking wheel 130, thereby increasing the contact area between the bottom guard plate 112 and the track 140. On this basis, an avoidance opening 11211 for avoiding the auxiliary wheel 150 is provided on the bottom guard plate 112, so that the outer peripheral side of the auxiliary wheel 150 can be supported on the inner side of the track 140. In this way, under the joint action of the auxiliary wheel 150 and the bottom guard plate 112, the looseness of the track 140 is more effectively improved, and the tightness of the track 140 is improved.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, further, the bottom guard plate 112 includes a plate body 1121 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1122, one side of the plate body 1121 is connected to the outer side wall of the casing 111, and the side of the plate body 1121 away from the casing 111 is located on the inner side of the track 140, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 1122 are arranged at intervals, and each reinforcing rib 1122 is respectively connected to the plate body 1121 and the outer side wall of the casing 111.

[0054] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 1122 can apply fixed stress to the bottom guard plate 112 to resist the deformation stress generated when the bottom guard plate 112 is deformed, so that the bottom guard plate 112 can maintain its original shape, thereby strengthening the structural strength and structural stability of the bottom guard plate 112, and enabling the plate body 1121 to better guide and limit the track 140, thereby improving the wrinkling and loosening of the track 140, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the mobile robot 100.

[0055] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the track 140 includes a belt ring 141 and a plurality of inner teeth 142, and the plurality of inner teeth 142 are arranged along the inner side of the belt ring 141. The first walking wheel 120 includes a first wheel body 121 and a plurality of first outer teeth 122, and the plurality of first outer teeth 122 are arranged along the outer peripheral side of the first wheel body 121 and meshed with the inner teeth 142. The second walking wheel 130 includes a second wheel body 131 and a plurality of second outer teeth 132, and the plurality of second outer teeth 132 are arranged along the outer peripheral side of the second wheel body 131 and meshed with the inner teeth 142. The auxiliary wheel 150 includes a third wheel body 151 and a plurality of third outer teeth 152 (the structure of the third outer teeth 152 is not shown in the drawings), and the plurality of third outer teeth 152 are arranged along the outer peripheral side of the third wheel body 151 and meshed with the inner teeth 142.

[0056] It can be understood that when the inner side surface of the track 140 is a tooth surface, the first walking wheel 120 and the second walking wheel 130 drive the track 140 to rotate by means of the meshing between the teeth. Correspondingly, the auxiliary wheel 150 also supports the inner side surface of the track 140 by means of the meshing between the teeth, so that the track 140 is in a taut state during the crawling of the mobile robot 100.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, further, the mobile robot 100 also includes a limit cover plate 170, and the track 140 also includes a plurality of limit teeth 143. The plurality of limit teeth 143 are arranged along the inner side surface of the belt ring 141, and are located on the side of the inner teeth 142 away from the body 110. The limit teeth 143 can respectively abut against the end face of the first wheel body 121, the end face of the second wheel body 131 and the end face of the third wheel body 151. The limit cover plate 170 is located on the side of the limit teeth 143 away from the body 110, and is connected to the body 110 through the connecting member 191. The side of the limit cover plate 170 facing the body 110 can abut against the side of the limit teeth 143 away from the inner teeth 142.

[0058] Exemplarily, the connecting member 191 may be an elastic buckle or an element with a screw rod such as a screw, a bolt, or a screw.

[0059] In this embodiment, the limiting cover plate 170 is located on the side of the limiting teeth 143 away from the body 110, and is connected to the body 110 through the connecting piece 191. The side of the limiting cover plate 170 facing the body 110 can abut against the side of the limiting teeth 143 away from the inner teeth 142, so as to play a limiting effect on the crawler 140. On this basis, the limiting teeth 143 can respectively abut against the end faces of the first wheel body 121, the second wheel body 131 and the third wheel body 151, so as to play a limiting effect on the first running wheel 120, the second running wheel 130 and the auxiliary wheel 150. In this way, the above-mentioned components have a higher structural stability after assembly, and the crawling stability of the mobile robot 100 is improved.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, further, the mobile robot 100 also includes a driving wheel 180, a driving device and a roller brush 192, the driving wheel 180 includes a fourth wheel body 181 and a plurality of fourth external teeth 182, the driving device is arranged inside the body 110 and is connected to the fourth wheel body 181, and is used to drive the fourth wheel body 181 to rotate, the plurality of fourth external teeth 182 are arranged along the outer peripheral side of the fourth wheel body 181, and are meshed with the plurality of first external teeth 122, and the roller brush 192 is rotatably arranged on the body 110 and is driven by the first walking wheel 120.

[0061] For example, the driving device can be a rotary motor or a driving motor, or a combination of a rotary motor and a reducer, and the specific structure of the driving device is not limited here. It should be noted that the roller brush 192 is used to sweep the garbage on the surface to be cleaned, and is usually used in swimming pool cleaning robots and sweeping robots.

[0062] In this embodiment, the driving device can drive the above-mentioned driving wheel 180 to rotate. When the driving wheel 180 rotates, it drives the first walking wheel 120 meshing therewith to rotate, thereby driving the track 140, the second walking wheel 130, the auxiliary wheel 150 and the roller brush 192 to rotate, so that the mobile robot 100 has the ability to crawl and perform cleaning operations while crawling.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the driving wheel 180 can also be connected to the first traveling wheel 120 via a gear assembly, or connected to the first traveling wheel 120 via a belt and a pulley, both of which can drive the first traveling wheel 120 to rotate.

[0064] In another embodiment, the inner side surface of the crawler track 140 is a smooth surface, and the first running wheel 120, the second running wheel 130 and the auxiliary wheel 150 are all smooth wheels, and the outer peripheral side of the smooth wheel is a smooth surface.

[0065] It can be understood that when the inner side surface of the track 140 is a smooth surface, the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130 drive the track 140 to rotate by means of contact friction engagement, and the outer peripheral side of the auxiliary wheel 150 is in surface contact with the inner side surface of the track 140, so that it can support the track 140 while rotating with the track 140, and can also keep the track 140 in a taut state. No specific restrictions are made on the driving methods of the track 140, the first running wheel 120 and the second running wheel 130.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of auxiliary wheels 150 are provided, for example, two, three, four, etc., and two adjacent auxiliary wheels 150 are arranged at intervals, and the distance between the center lines of two adjacent auxiliary wheels 150 is L, satisfying: 80mm≤L≤130mm.

[0067] Exemplarily, L can be selected as 115 mm. Of course, L can also be selected as 80 mm, 84 mm, 90 mm, 93 mm, 100 mm, 112 mm, 116 mm, 120 mm, 127 mm, 130 mm, etc.

[0068] It should be noted that if L is too large, that is, the center distance between two adjacent auxiliary wheels 150 is too large, or if L is too small, that is, the center distance between two adjacent auxiliary wheels 150 is too small, the auxiliary wheels 150 will not provide sufficient support for the track 140, causing the track 140 to still be loose.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting the distance between the center lines of two adjacent auxiliary wheels 150 to 80 mm to 130 mm, the supporting effect of the auxiliary wheels 150 on the inner side of the track 140 can be maximized, so that the track 140 is in a taut state with a minimum number of auxiliary wheels 150, saving parts costs while improving the crawling ability of the mobile robot 100.
