Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning robots, in particular to a garbage storage container and a cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] A floor cleaning robot is a kind of intelligent household appliance, which can automatically complete the floor cleaning work in a room by virtue of a certain artificial intelligence. Generally, it adopts the methods of brushing and vacuuming to first suck the ground debris into its own dust box, so as to complete the function of ground cleaning.

[0003] The existing dust box is generally provided with a baffle. When the floor cleaning robot is working, a blower can be used to open the baffle so that dust can enter the dust box. Once the dust box is full of garbage, it is difficult for the external garbage to enter the dust box along the air duct, and the garbage in the dust box needs to be cleaned in time. At present, the general floor cleaning robot judges whether the dust box is full by detecting the weight of the dust box. However, when the robot inhales light and large-area garbage such as plastic sheets and large pieces of shredded paper, the capacity in the dust box is easily filled up, and the method of simply detecting the weight of the dust box cannot detect this situation in time, and the detection error is large. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0051] Embodiment

[0052] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment provides a garbage storage container, including a dust box 10, a first detection device 20, a second detection device 30, and an outer box 40.

[0053] Specifically, the first detection device 20 is used to detect the weight of the dust box 10. The detection part of the second detection device 30 is configured to be inserted into the dust box 10, and the second detection device 30 is used to detect the height of the garbage in the dust box 10. By configuring the first detection device 20 and the second detection device 30, weight information and height information in the dust box 10 can be provided for the sweeping robot, enabling the sweeping robot to judge the amount of garbage based on the two types of information, and effectively improving the judgment accuracy.

[0054] Specifically, the outer box 40 has an insertion port 41. The second detection device 30 is located above the first detection device 20. The bottom of the dust box 10 is inserted into the outer box 40 from the insertion port 41, and the first detection device 20 is located between the outer bottom surface of the dust box 10 and the inner bottom surface of the outer box 40. The dust box 10 is configured to be slidably connected to the outer box 40. The first detection device 20 is configured to be fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the outer box 40, and the first detection device 20 abuts against the outer bottom surface of the dust box 10.

[0055] Since the first detection device 20 is completely located outside the dust box 10, and the disassembly and assembly structure of the dust box 10 and the outer box 40 is simple, it is convenient for the user to clean the dust box 10. When cleaning the dust box 10, the outer box 40 can be separated from the dust box 10, thus avoiding the first detection device 20 from contacting the cleaning liquid.

[0056] In this embodiment, the dust box 10 includes a box body 11, a box cover 12, an air filter 13 and a baffle 14.

[0057] Specifically, the box body 11 has an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112. The box cover 12 is configured to be detachably connected to the box body 11. A first sealing rubber ring 113 is fixedly provided on the box body 11, and the first sealing rubber ring 113 is located on the outer periphery of the air outlet 112.

[0058] Specifically, the baffle 14 is located inside the box body 11. The baffle 14 is used to cover the air inlet 111, and the baffle 14 is rotatably connected to the box body 11.

[0059] Specifically, the air filter 13 is inserted into the first sealing rubber ring 113, thereby covering the air outlet 112. The side surface of the air filter 13 abuts against the inner ring surface of the first sealing rubber ring 113. A support member 117 is provided on the back surface of the box cover 12. One end of the support member 117 is fixedly connected to the box cover 12, and the other end of the support member 117 is configured to abut against the air filter 13, thereby realizing the positioning of the air filter 13. An exhaust port 114 is provided on the box cover 12, and the box cover 12 is configured to cover the air filter 13.

[0060] The air filter 13 is simple to disassemble and assemble, and is equipped with a support member 117 to further fix the position of the air filter 13. The gas filtered by the air filter 13 is discharged from the exhaust port 114.

[0061] In this embodiment, an assembly port is provided on the box body 11, and the assembly port communicates with the box body 11. The detection part of the first detection device 20 is inserted into the box body 11 from the assembly port.

[0062] Specifically, a connecting portion 121 is provided on the back surface of the box cover 12, and the connecting portion 121 is configured to be fixedly connected to the first detection device 20.

[0063] Specifically, a second sealing rubber ring 115 is fixedly arranged inside the assembly port, and the first detection device 20 and the assembly port are sealed by the second sealing rubber ring 115.

[0064] By configuring the first sealing rubber ring 113 and the second sealing rubber ring 115, it is possible to prevent the escape of waste gas that has not been filtered by the air filter 13, and dust will not return to the outside from the dust box 10 during use.

[0065] During cleaning, the second detection device 30 can be detached together with the box cover 12, which has good convenience. It can facilitate the user to clean the box body 11 alone and prevent the second detection device 30 from contacting the cleaning liquid.

[0066] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 43 is provided on the outer box 40, and a sliding part 42 paired with the sliding groove 43 is provided on the side wall of the box body 11. The sliding part 42 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 43, and the box body 11 and the outer box 40 are connected through the sliding groove 43 and the sliding part 42.

[0067] In this embodiment, a limiting member 116 is fixedly arranged inside the box body 11. The limiting member 116 is used to limit the maximum opening and closing degree of the baffle 14. The limiting member 116 is located above the baffle 14 and below the second detection device 30.

[0068] By configuring the limiting member 116, it is possible to prevent the baffle 14 from hitting the second detection device 30.

[0069] In this embodiment, a force transmission arm member 31 is provided on the second detection device 30. The force transmission arm member 31 is configured to be fixedly connected to the detection part of the second detection device 30, and the force transmission arm member 31 is located inside the dust box 10.

[0070] By configuring the force transmission arm member 31, the force transmission arm member 31 can easily come into contact with the garbage. When the force transmission arm member 31 is subjected to the pressure exerted by the garbage, it can transmit the pressure to the second detection device 30, facilitating detection.

[0071] In some embodiments, both the first detection device 20 and the second detection device 30 are pressure sensors.

[0072] In some embodiments, both the first detection device 20 and the second detection device 30 are button touch switches. The force transmission arm member 31 is then fixed to the button of the second detection device 30.

[0073] As Figure 5 shown, the present utility model further provides a cleaning robot, which includes a control device 50, a blower 60, a traveling mechanism 70, a radar detection mechanism 80, and also includes the garbage storage container in any of the above embodiments.

[0074] The first detection device 20, the second detection device 30, the fan 60, the traveling mechanism 70, and the radar detection mechanism 80 are all electrically connected to the control device 50.

[0075] The fan 60 is used to adjust the air pressure in the dust box 10, so as to form an air flow through the air inlet 111, the air outlet 112, and the air filter 13.

[0076] The control device 50 is used to judge the amount of garbage in the dust box 10 according to the detection information of the first detection device 20 and the second detection device 30.

[0077] Exemplarily, when the first detection device 20 detects that the weight of the dust box reaches the first threshold value, the first detection device 20 feeds back a signal to the control device 50, and the control device 50 then judges that the dust box is filled with garbage.

[0078] When the height of the garbage in the dust box reaches the set value of the second detection device 30 and the first detection device 20 detects that the weight of the dust box reaches the second threshold value, both the first detection device 20 and the second detection device 30 feed back signals to the control device 50, and the control device 50 then judges that the dust box is filled with garbage.

[0079] Wherein, the set weight value of the first threshold is greater than the set weight value of the second threshold.

[0080] Exemplarily, when the height of the garbage in the dust box reaches the set value of the second detection device 30, the second detection device 30 feeds back a signal to the control device 50, and the control device 50 then judges that the dust box is filled with garbage.

[0081] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be thought of without creative work should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model; unless otherwise specified, any element, action, or instruction used in this article should not be construed as critical or necessary.
