Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0048] In order to illustrate the technical solutions described in the present application, the following will be described in detail with reference to specific drawings and embodiments.

[0049] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 16As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a towing platform 100, which includes a connection main body 110 and a control module. The connection main body 110 is formed with an installation area at the bottom, and the installation area is used to install the self - moving cleaning device 200, so that the towing platform 100 can move under the drive of the self - moving cleaning device 200; a first display component 400 is arranged on the side of the connection main body 110. The first display component 400 includes at least one light - emitting component 410, and each light - emitting component 410 includes a plurality of light bars, and the light bars in the light - emitting component 410 are arranged in a predetermined shape. The control module is arranged on the connection main body 110, and the control module is respectively signal - connected to each light bar. The control module is used to control the lighting state of the light bars in the light - emitting component 410 according to the working state of the towing platform 100, so that the first display component 400 can display different lighting effects.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the self - moving cleaning device 200 can be a cleaning robot, and the cleaning robot includes a floor - sweeping robot, a mopping robot, or a combined floor - sweeping and mopping robot, etc. The lighting effects displayed by the first display component 400 can be symbol lighting effects or expression lighting effects.

[0051] Compared with the related art, the towing platform 100 in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first display component 400 including at least one light - emitting component 410 on the connection main body 110, and the plurality of light bars in the light - emitting component 410 are arranged in a predetermined shape. In this way, at least part of the light bars in the light - emitting component 410 can be controlled by the control module to emit light, so that the first display component 400 can display different symbol lighting effects or expression lighting effects according to the working state of the towing platform 100. In this way, it not only enriches the display effect of the towing platform 100, but also effectively controls the cost.

[0052] Moreover, for the towing platform 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the self - moving cleaning device 200 can be installed in the installation area at the bottom of the connection main body 110, and household items 300 can be carried on the connection main body 110. The household items 300 can include household appliances or household articles, etc. When the household items 300 include household appliances, the household appliances can include at least one of an air purifier, a humidifier, or a home camera, etc. In this way, by using the functions of movement, mapping, obstacle avoidance, and path planning that the self - moving cleaning device 200 already has, the movement and positioning functions of the connection main body 110 and the household appliances carried on the connection main body 110 can be realized. Exemplarily, when the household appliance includes an air purifier, while the self - moving cleaning device 200 cleans the ground, the whole house can be air - purified, improving the air - purification effect. When the household appliance includes a humidifier, while the self - moving cleaning device 200 cleans the ground, functions such as whole - house humidification, fixed - point humidification, zone - by - zone humidification, and scheduled humidification can be realized. When the household items 300 include household articles, the household articles can include tableware, tissues, umbrellas, and towels, etc.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection body 110 may be columnar, disc-shaped or other irregular structural shapes. The side surface of the connection body 110 may be the top surface of the connection body 110, or may also be the side surface of the connection body 110 parallel to the vertical direction, or may also be other side surfaces of the connection body 110. In some examples, as Figure 1 shown, the connection body 110 is a disc-shaped structure. Specifically, the connection body 110 is a disc-shaped structure, and the first display component 400 is specifically arranged on the outer peripheral side surface of the connection body 110.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the number of the light-emitting components 410 may be one or two. When the number of the light-emitting components 410 is one, the first display component 400 can display different symbol light effects through the light-emitting component 410, such as "×", "○", ">", or "<", etc. When the number of the light-emitting components 410 is two, the light-emitting components 410 can serve as the "eyes" of the towing platform 100, and the control module controls some or all of the light bars in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light, so that the first display component 400 displays different expression light effects, improving the interest of the towing platform 100.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the first display component 400 includes two light-emitting components 410 arranged at intervals, and the two light-emitting components 410 are symmetrically distributed on the side surface at the front end of the connection body 110. Among them, the direction of the front end of the connection body 110 is the same as the direction in which the towing platform 100 moves driven by the self-moving cleaning device 200. Such a setting is more in line with the state of the eyes in front when a human walks, endows the towing platform 100 with a certain sense of life, improves the interest of the towing platform 100, and improves the interaction experience between the user and the towing platform 100, making the towing platform 100 more intelligent. Optionally, the two light-emitting components 410 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction on the side surface at the front end of the connection body 110, and the two light-emitting components 410 are axially symmetrically distributed with the vertical line passing through the midpoint between the two light-emitting components 410 as the axis.

[0056] In a possible design, the number of the first display components 400 is multiple, and the multiple first display components 400 are respectively located on different sides of the connection body 110, so that the user can quickly know the light effects displayed by the first display components 400 from different sides of the towing platform 100. In one example, the number of the first display components 400 is two, one of the first display components 400 is arranged on the side surface of the front end of the connection body 110, and the other first display component 400 is arranged on the side surface of the rear end of the connection body 110. The direction of the front end of the connection body 110 is exactly opposite to the direction of the rear end.

[0057] In a possible design, as Figure 2 shown, at least two first light-emitting elements 414 are evenly distributed in each light bar. Optionally, the number of the first light-emitting elements 414 in each light bar can be two, three or even more. By evenly distributing at least two first light-emitting elements 414 in the light bar, the light emission of the light bar can be made more uniform and the display effect can be better. Optionally, the first light-emitting element 414 can be an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lamp bead. Optionally, each first light-emitting element 414 is signal-connected to the control module, or each light bar is signal-connected to the control module, and the control module can also be used to control the light-emitting color of the first light-emitting element 414 or the light bar to enrich the display effect of the first display component 400. Exemplarily, the control module can be used to control the first light-emitting element 414 to emit blue light, white light, green light, red light or yellow light, etc.

[0058] In a possible design, in the light-emitting component 410, at least two arc-shaped light bars 413 exist among the multiple light bars, and the at least two arc-shaped light bars 413 have the same center of the circle, and each arc-shaped light bar 413 is symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the center. In this setting manner, all the arc-shaped light bars 413 in the light-emitting component 410 can enclose a circular contour, and the control module can be used to control all or part of the arc-shaped light bars 413 in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light, so that the first display component 400 can display different light effects.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, in the light-emitting component 410, four arc-shaped light bars 413 exist among the multiple light bars, the centers of the four arc-shaped light bars 413 coincide, and the four arc-shaped light bars 413 are symmetrically distributed with the center of the circle as the center. As Figure 5As shown, the four arc-shaped light bars 413 in the light-emitting component 410 are respectively arc-shaped light bar a, arc-shaped light bar b, arc-shaped light bar c, and arc-shaped light bar d. When there is one light-emitting component 410, the control module controls all four arc-shaped light bars 413 in the light-emitting component 410 to emit light, so that the first display component 400 shows the symbol light effect of "○". When there are two light-emitting components 410, as Figure 6 shown, the control module controls the arc-shaped light bar a, arc-shaped light bar b, and arc-shaped light bar c in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light respectively, so that the first display component 400 shows the effect of a curved-eye smile, that is, the first display component 400 shows a happy expression light effect. As Figure 7 shown, the control module controls all the arc-shaped light bars 413 in the two light-emitting components 410 to emit light respectively, so that the first display component 400 shows the effect of round eyes, conveying a sense of absent-mindedness, that is, the first display component 400 shows a bored expression light effect.

[0060] In another possible design, as Figure 8 shown, among the multiple light bars, there are at least two first straight light bars 411 arranged on the first straight line and at least two second straight light bars 412 arranged on the second straight line. The extension direction of the first straight light bar 411 intersects with the extension direction of the second straight light bar 412 and forms an intersection point. Exemplarily, as Figure 8As shown, the number of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 is two. The two first straight light bars 411 are the first straight light bar e and the first straight light bar f respectively, and the two second straight light bars 412 are the second straight light bar g and the second straight light bar h respectively. The first straight light bar e and the first straight light bar f are spaced apart along the first straight line; the second straight light bar g and the second straight light bar h are spaced apart along the second straight line. The first straight line where the first straight light bar 411 is located and the second straight line where the second straight light bar 412 is located are arranged at an angle. Optionally, the first straight line where the first straight light bar 411 is located and the second straight line where the second straight light bar 412 is located can be arranged at any angle such as 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 61 degrees or 90 degrees. Optionally, in the same light-emitting component 410, the number of the first straight light bars 411 can be two, three, four, etc. Optionally, in the same light-emitting component 410, the number of the first straight light bars 411 can be equal to or different from the number of the second straight light bars 412. When the first display component 400 includes one light-emitting component 410, by controlling some or all of the first straight light bars 411 and some or all of the second straight light bars 412 in the light-emitting component 410 to emit light, the first display component 400 can display symbol light effects such as "×", ">", or "<". When the first display component 400 includes two light-emitting components 410, by controlling some or all of the first straight light bars 411 and some or all of the second straight light bars 412 in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light, the first display component 400 can display expression light effects such as coma or closing eyes.

[0061] Specifically, in the same light-emitting component 410, each of the first straight light bars 411 and each of the second straight light bars 412 are symmetrically distributed with the intersection point as the center. Exemplarily, as Figure 8 shown, the first straight light bar e and the first straight light bar f are respectively located on opposite sides of the intersection point along the first straight line; the second straight light bar g and the second straight light bar h are respectively located on opposite sides of the intersection point along the second straight line, and the included angle between the first straight line and the second straight line is 90°. Therefore, the first straight light bar e, the first straight light bar f, the second straight light bar g, and the second straight light bar h are centrosymmetrically distributed with the intersection point as the center of symmetry. Since each of the first straight light bars 411 and each of the second straight light bars 412 are centrosymmetrically distributed, when the control module controls some or all of the first straight light bars 411 and some or all of the second straight light bars 412 in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light, the patterns displayed by each light-emitting component 410 can be symmetric with respect to the intersection point, so that the expression light effects formed by the combination of the pattern light effects displayed by the two first light-emitting components 410 are more vivid.

[0062] In a possible design, in the same light-emitting component 410, the lengths of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are the same. Exemplarily, as Figure 8 shown, the lengths of the first straight light bar e, the first straight light bar f, the second straight light bar g, and the second straight light bar h are the same. It can be understood that the total length of all the first straight light bars 411 in the light-emitting component 410 is equal to the total length of all the second straight light bars 412. In this way, the light effect displayed by the first display component 400 can also be made more beautiful. And the lengths of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are the same, so as to facilitate the mass production of straight light bars. During the assembly process, some straight light bars can be installed as the first straight light bars 411, and another part of the straight light bars can be installed as the second straight light bars 412.

[0063] In a possible design, in the same light-emitting component 410, the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line or the horizontal line passing through the intersection point. It should be noted that in this embodiment, specifically, among the multiple light bars of the light-emitting component 410, the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line or the horizontal line passing through the intersection point, rather than the first straight light bars 411 being axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line or the horizontal line passing through the intersection point. Exemplarily, as Figure 8 shown, the first straight light bar e and the first straight light bar f are spaced apart along the first straight line, the second straight light bar g and the second straight light bar h are spaced apart along the second straight line, and the angles between the first straight line and the second straight line and the vertical line or the horizontal line passing through the intersection point are equal, that is, the first straight light bar e and the second straight light bar g are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line passing through the intersection point, and the first straight light bar f and the second straight light bar h are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line passing through the intersection point; the first straight light bar e and the second straight light bar h are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the horizontal line passing through the intersection point, and the first straight light bar f and the second straight light bar g are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the horizontal line passing through the intersection point.

[0064] Optionally, the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are symmetrically distributed centered on the intersection point, the lengths of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are the same, and moreover, the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line or the horizontal line passing through the intersection point.

[0065] In an example, as Figure 9As shown, when there is one light-emitting component 410, by controlling the first straight strip light e and the second straight strip light h to emit light through the control module, the first display component 400 can display the symbol light effect of ">". In some application scenarios, when the towing platform 100 is turning driven by the self-moving cleaning device 200, the first straight strip light e and the second straight strip light h can be controlled to emit light through the control module, or the first straight strip light f and the second straight strip light g can be controlled to emit light to indicate the turning direction of the towing platform 100.

[0066] As Figure 10 shown, when there are two light-emitting components 410, by controlling the first straight strip light e and the second straight strip light h in one of the light-emitting components 410 to emit light through the control module, and at the same time controlling the first straight strip light f and the second straight strip light g in the other light-emitting component 410 to emit light through the control module, the first display component 400 can be made to display the effect of "> <", that is, the first display component 400 can be made to display the light effect of a closed-eye expression. As Figure 11 shown, when the two first straight strip lights 411 and the two second straight strip lights 412 in the two light-emitting components 410 are both controlled to emit light through the control module, the first display component 400 can be made to display the effect of two "×", that is, the first display component 400 can be made to display the light effect of a coma expression.

[0067] In some embodiments, the extension directions of the first straight strip light 411 and the second straight strip light 412 both form an angle with the horizontal plane, and the degree of this angle can be 15 degrees, 17 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees or 60 degrees, etc. Exemplarily, the extension directions of the first straight strip light 411 and the second straight strip light 412 both form a 45-degree angle with the horizontal plane. With such a setting, the expression displayed by the first display component 400 can be made more vivid.

[0068] In a possible design, as Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown, in the light-emitting component 410, there is at least one arc-shaped light strip 413 among the multiple light strips. The centers of the arc-shaped light strips 413 are at the same or similar positions as the intersection points, and the arc-shaped light strips 413 are arranged outside each first straight strip light 411 and each second straight strip light 412. With such a setting, the arc-shaped light strip 413, the first straight strip light 411 and the second straight strip light 412 can be controlled to emit light in combination through the control module, so that the first display component 400 can display richer light effects.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the light-emitting component 410, when the number of arc-shaped light bars 413 is one, the arc-shaped light bar 413 can form a semi-surrounding structure to surround the peripheries of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412. When there are multiple arc-shaped light bars 413, the multiple arc-shaped light bars 413 form a circular contour to surround the peripheries of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412. Exemplarily, there are at least two arc-shaped light bars 413, and each arc-shaped light bar 413 is arranged circumferentially and forms a circular contour. That is to say, among the multiple light bars of the light-emitting component 410, at least two arc-shaped light bars 413 are arranged at intervals circumferentially around the intersection point and form a circular contour, and each first straight light bar 411 and each second straight light bar 412 are located within this circular contour. In this setting, the arc-shaped light bars 413 can emit light in combination with the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 respectively, so that the first display component 400 can display more lighting effects.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the towing platform 100 fails, such as Figure 12 shown, the control module can control all the arc-shaped light bars 413 and all the first straight light bars 411 (or all the second straight light bars 412) in each light-emitting component 410 to emit light, so that the first display component 400 shows a symbol lighting effect of prohibiting forward movement.

[0071] In a possible design, each arc-shaped light bar 413 is axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the first straight line or the second straight line. That is to say, among the multiple light bars of the light-emitting component 410, there are at least two arc-shaped light bars 413, and all the arc-shaped light bars 413 are axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the first straight line where the first straight light bar 411 is located or the second straight line where the second straight light bar 412 is located. In this way, when the control module controls each arc-shaped light bar 413 to emit light in combination with the first straight light bar 411 and the second straight light bar 412 respectively, the display effect can be made more beautiful.

[0072] In a possible design, such as Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown, there are four arc-shaped light bars 413, and each arc-shaped light bar 413 is arranged at intervals circumferentially and forms a circular contour, and each arc-shaped light bar 413 is symmetrically distributed with respect to the intersection point.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the light-emitting component 410, the four arc-shaped light bars 413 are not only symmetrically distributed with respect to the intersection point, but also axially symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line and the horizontal line passing through the intersection point at the same time. Exemplarily, such as Figure 2 or Figure 3As shown, the four arc-shaped light bars 413 of the light-emitting component 410 are respectively arc-shaped light bar a, arc-shaped light bar b, arc-shaped light bar c, and arc-shaped light bar d. Among them, arc-shaped light bar a and arc-shaped light bar c are axially symmetrically distributed with the vertical line passing through the intersection point as the axis, and arc-shaped light bar a and arc-shaped light bar c are respectively axially symmetric structures with the horizontal line passing through the intersection point as the axis; arc-shaped light bar b and arc-shaped light bar d are axially symmetrically distributed with the horizontal line passing through the intersection point as the axis, and arc-shaped light bar b and arc-shaped light bar d are respectively axially symmetric structures with the vertical line passing through the intersection point as the axis.

[0074] In a possible design, as Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown, one end of each arc-shaped light bar 413 is close to the end of the first straight light bar 411, and the other end is close to the end of the second straight light bar 412. It should be noted that each first straight light bar 411 and each second straight light bar 412 respectively have an inner end close to the intersection point and an outer end far from the intersection point. In this embodiment, one end of each arc-shaped light bar 413 is close to the outer end of the first straight light bar 411, and the other end is close to the outer end of the second straight light bar 412 adjacent to the first straight light bar 411.

[0075] In a specific example, as Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown, in the same light-emitting component 410, the number of the first straight light bars 411 and the second straight light bars 412 is two. The two first straight light bars 411 are respectively the first straight light bar e and the first straight light bar f, and the two second straight light bars 412 are respectively the second straight light bar g and the second straight light bar h. The first straight light bar e extends from the end close to the intersection point towards the area between the arc-shaped light bar a and the arc-shaped light bar b. The second straight light bar g extends from the end close to the intersection point towards the area between the arc-shaped light bar b and the arc-shaped light bar c. The first straight light bar f extends from the end close to the intersection point towards the area between the arc-shaped light bar c and the arc-shaped light bar d. The second straight light bar h extends from the end close to the intersection point towards the area between the arc-shaped light bar d and the arc-shaped light bar a. That is, one end of the arc-shaped light bar a is close to the outer end of the first straight light bar e, and the other end of the arc-shaped light bar a is close to the outer end of the second straight light bar h; one end of the arc-shaped light bar b is close to the outer end of the first straight light bar e, and the other end of the arc-shaped light bar b is close to the outer end of the second straight light bar g; one end of the arc-shaped light bar c is close to the outer end of the first straight light bar f, and the other end of the arc-shaped light bar c is close to the outer end of the second straight light bar g; one end of the arc-shaped light bar d is close to the outer end of the first straight light bar f, and the other end of the arc-shaped light bar d is close to the outer end of the second straight light bar h.

[0076] When there are two light-emitting components 410, asFigure 13 As shown, the control module can control the arc-shaped light bars a, arc-shaped light bars d, and two first straight light bars 411 in one of the light-emitting components 410 to emit light, and control the arc-shaped light bars c, arc-shaped light bars d, and two second straight light bars 412 in the other light-emitting component 410 to emit light, so that the first display component 400 displays an angry expression light effect.

[0077] In a possible design, as Figure 14 shown, the first display component 400 includes two light-emitting components 410 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. At least two first light-emitting elements 414 are arranged in the middle of the area between the two light-emitting components 410. The two first light-emitting elements 414 can serve as the "nostrils" of the towing platform 100, making the towing platform 100 more vivid. In some embodiments, as Figure 14 shown, a set of "nostrils" is arranged in the middle of the area between the light-emitting elements. The set of "nostrils" includes two first light-emitting elements 414 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Each first light-emitting element 414 is respectively signal-connected to the control module. The control module controls the two first light-emitting elements 414 in the set of "nostrils" to emit light to improve the display effect of the towing platform 100. As Figure 15 shown, Figure 15 in (Ⅰ) is the bored expression light effect with nostrils shown by the towing platform 100, Figure 15 in (Ⅱ) is the symbol light effect of the towing platform 100 showing a static forward movement with nostrils, Figure 15 in (Ⅲ) is the angry expression light effect with nostrils shown by the towing platform 100, Figure 15 in (Ⅳ) is the closed-eye expression light effect with nostrils shown by the towing platform 100, Figure 15 in (Ⅴ) is the coma expression light effect with nostrils shown by the towing platform 100, Figure 15 in (Ⅵ) is the happy expression light effect with nostrils shown by the towing platform 100.

[0078] In a possible design, the connection body 110 is further provided with a second display component. The second display component includes a plurality of second light-emitting elements. The plurality of second light-emitting elements are respectively signal-connected to the control module. The control module is further configured to control the light-emitting states of the plurality of second light-emitting elements according to the working states of the self-moving cleaning device 200 or the household appliance device. The control module can also be used to simultaneously control the light-emitting states of the plurality of second light-emitting elements according to the working states of the self-moving cleaning device 200 and the household appliance device, so that the second display component can display different patterns. Exemplarily, when the self-moving cleaning device 200 is sweeping the floor, the control module can control some of the second light-emitting elements to emit light, so that the second display component displays a broom pattern. Optionally, the second light-emitting element can also be an LED lamp bead.

[0079] Exemplarily, when the self - moving cleaning device 200 is cleaning the floor while the household appliance device is also operating, the second display component can display two different patterns. For example, if the household appliance device is a humidifier, when the humidifier and the self - moving cleaning device 200 are both operating, the second display component can simultaneously display the patterns of a broom and a spray. Alternatively, the control module can control the second display component to alternately display the patterns of a broom and a spray.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the first display component 400 and the second display component are disposed on the same side of the connection body 110. For example, the second display component can be located above or below the first display component 400. In other embodiments, the first display component 400 and the second display component are respectively disposed on different sides of the connection body 110. Exemplarily, the first display component 400 is disposed on the side surface of the front end of the connection body 110, and the second display component can be disposed on the top surface of the connection body 110 or the side surface of the rear end of the connection body 110, or the second display component can also be disposed on any other side surface, which is not uniquely defined herein.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the control module can also be used for signal connection with the self - moving cleaning device 200 and the household appliance device carried thereon. Optionally, the control module can include a chip or other controllers.

[0082] For ease of description, hereinafter, it is described by taking the first display component 400 including two light - emitting components 410 as an example.

[0083] In some application scenarios, when the working state of the object - towing platform 100 is in any one of the states of in - progress work, work suspension, charging back, remote control, combination process, separation process, etc., as Figure 6 shown, the arc - shaped light bars a, b, and c in each light - emitting component 410 can be respectively controlled by the control module to be constantly on, so that the first display component 400 shows a happy constantly - on expression light effect.

[0084] Optionally, the in - progress work state includes the state when the object - towing platform 100 is carrying a household object 300 and is working. For example, when the household object 300 includes a household appliance device, when the household appliance device is an air purifier, the state when the air purifier is purifying the air; when the household appliance device is a surveillance camera, the state when the surveillance camera is patrolling under the drive of the object - towing platform 100; when the household appliance device is a humidifier, the state when the humidifier is humidifying; when the household object 300 includes household items, the state when the object - towing platform 100 is carrying household items for transportation work.

[0085] Optionally, the pause state may specifically be a state in which when the towing platform 100 is carrying the household object 300 and is working, the user operates through a button or an APP (Applications) to cause the towing platform 100 carrying the household object 300 to pause working. The button may be a remote control button or may also be a button on the towing platform 100.

[0086] Optionally, the self - moving cleaning device 200 is equipped with a base station for charging the self - moving cleaning device 200, and the base station is connected to the mains power. In the embodiments of the present application, the base station can also charge the towing platform 100. Specifically, the towing platform 100 can be docked with the base station for charging under the drive of the self - moving cleaning device 200. The recharge state is specifically the state when the self - moving cleaning device 200 drives the towing platform 100 towards the base station.

[0087] Optionally, the control module in the towing platform 100 can also be used to bind an APP. Since the control module can also be used to be signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200, the user can send a control signal to the control module through the APP to control the self - moving cleaning device 200 to drive the towing platform 100 to move through the control module. Alternatively, the self - moving cleaning device 200 is bound with an APP, and the user can directly remotely control the self - moving cleaning device 200 to drive the towing platform 100 to move through the APP. In this embodiment, the remote control state can specifically be the state when the user directly or indirectly (by sending a control signal to the control module) remotely controls the self - moving cleaning device 200 to drive the towing platform 100 to move through the APP.

[0088] Optionally, the state of the combination process is specifically the state during the process of automatically installing the self - moving cleaning device 200 on the installation area at the bottom of the connection main body 110. Optionally, a connection structure may be provided in the installation area at the bottom of the connection main body 110. By connecting the self - moving cleaning device 200 to the connection structure, the self - moving cleaning device can be installed on the installation area. Optionally, the connection structure in the installation area is a clamping member, and the towing platform 100 can control the clamping member to descend and engage with the clamping hole on the self - moving cleaning device 200. Optionally, a docking structure is provided on the connection structure, and the docking structure is signal - connected to the control module. When the self - moving cleaning device 200 is connected to the connection structure, the self - moving cleaning device 200 is also signal - connected to the docking structure. Exemplarily, the docking structure can be an electrode plate. When the electrode plate on the docking structure contacts the corresponding electrode plate on the self - moving cleaning device 200, the control module is signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200. Thus, the control module can determine whether the towing platform 100 is successfully combined, that is, whether the self - moving cleaning device 200 is successfully installed on the installation area at the bottom of the connection main body 110, based on whether it is signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200; the docking structure can also be a USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket or a USB plug. When the docking structure is a USB socket, the self - moving cleaning device 200 is provided with a USB plug corresponding to the USB socket; when the docking structure is a USB plug, the self - moving cleaning device 200 is provided with a USB socket corresponding to the USB plug. When the self - moving cleaning device 200 is connected to the connection structure and installed in the installation area, the USB socket is plugged into the USB plug to enable the control module to be signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200. Thus, the control module can determine whether the towing platform 100 is in a combined state based on whether it is signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200.

[0089] Optionally, the state of the separation process is specifically the state during the process of separating the towing platform 100 from the self - moving cleaning device 200. The control module can determine whether the towing platform 100 is in a separated state based on whether it is signal - connected to the self - moving cleaning device 200.

[0090] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a startup process state, which is the process state when the towing platform 100 switches from the shutdown state to the startup state. When the towing platform 100 is in the startup process state, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, and c of each light-emitting component 410 to emit a first color light (such as blue). Moreover, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, and c of each light-emitting component 410 to slowly flash with the first color light. The flashing frequency of the first light-emitting element 414 can be 1 Hz (that is, it emits light once every 1 s), so that the first display component 400 shows a happy slow-flashing expression light effect of the first color light.

[0091] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a network configuration state, which is the process state when the control module is bound to an APP and the towing platform 100 attempts to connect to a network (such as a wireless network) through the operation of the APP on a terminal (such as a mobile phone or a smartwatch, etc.). When the towing platform 100 is in the network configuration state, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, c, and d of each light-emitting component 410 to quickly flash with a second color light (such as white). The flashing frequency of the first light-emitting element 414 can be 2 Hz (that is, it emits light once every 0.5 s), so that the first display component 400 shows a boring quick-flashing expression light effect of the second color light.

[0092] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a standby state, which is the state when the towing platform 100 is not working and waiting for a user to issue a work instruction. When the towing platform 100 is in the standby state, as Figure 7 shown, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, c, and d of each light-emitting component 410 to be constantly on, so that the first display component 400 shows a boring constantly-on expression light effect.

[0093] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a charging state, which is the state when the towing platform 100 is successfully docked with the base station and obtains electrical energy from the base station for charging. When the towing platform 100 is in the charging state, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, c, and d of each light-emitting component 410 to breathe with a second color light (such as white). The breathing of the first light-emitting element 414 means that the first light-emitting element 414 cycles between extinguishing and lighting within a fixed time (such as 3 s). In this way, the first display component 400 shows a boring breathing expression light effect.

[0094] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a full charge state, which means that the towing platform 100 has been fully charged after obtaining electric energy from the base station for charging. When the towing platform 100 is in the full charge state, the control module can control each first light-emitting element 414 in the arc-shaped light strips a, b, c, and d of each light-emitting component 410 to emit a third color light (such as green) constantly, so that the first display component 400 shows a boring constant-on expression light effect of the third color light.

[0095] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes an upgrade state, a factory reset state, and a binding state. The upgrade state means the state in which the control module receives a user instruction to perform firmware upgrade; the factory reset state means the state in which the control module receives a user instruction to perform a factory reset operation; the binding state means the state in which the control module establishes a signal connection with a household appliance device or the control module establishes a signal connection with the self-moving cleaning device 200. After the control module successfully establishes a signal connection with the household appliance device or the self-moving cleaning device 200, the control module can perform wireless communication with the household appliance device or the self-moving cleaning device 200. When the towing platform 100 is in any one of the upgrade state, the factory reset state, and the binding state, the control module can control the arc-shaped light strips a, b, c, and d in each light-emitting component 410 to emit and extinguish the third color light (such as green) in sequence and cyclically, so that the first display component 400 shows a boring rotating dynamic expression light effect of the third color light.

[0096] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a low battery state and an offline state. The low battery state means the state in which the towing platform 100 detects that its own battery power is lower than a preset power; the offline state means the state in which the towing platform 100 is not connected to the network. When the towing platform 100 is in the low battery state or the offline state, as Figure 11 shown, the control module can control all the first straight light strips 411 and all the second straight light strips 412 in each light-emitting component 410 to emit a fourth color light (such as red) constantly, so that the first display component 400 shows a coma constant-on expression light effect of the fourth color light.

[0097] Optionally, the working state of the towing platform 100 further includes a fault state. When the towing platform 100 is in the fault state, as Figure 12 shown, the control module can control all the arc-shaped light strips 413 and all the first straight light strips 411 (or the second straight light strips 412) in each light-emitting component 410 to emit a fifth color light (such as yellow) constantly, so that the first display component 400 shows a no-go symbol light effect of the fifth color light.

[0098] Another embodiment of the present application further provides a cleaning assembly. For example, Figure 16 as shown, it includes a self - moving cleaning device 200 and the towing platform 100 provided in any of the above - mentioned embodiments. The self - moving cleaning device 200 is a cleaning robot. The self - moving cleaning device 200 is installed in the installation area of the towing platform 100, and the towing platform 100 is used to carry household items 300. Compared with the related art, since the cleaning assembly of the embodiment of the present application includes the towing platform 100 provided in any of the above - mentioned embodiments, therefore, it has at least all of the above - mentioned effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0099] In some embodiments, the towing platform 100 can carry multiple household items 300 at the same time. Exemplarily, support columns are provided on the connection body 110 of the towing platform 100, and a monitoring camera can be installed on the support columns. The connection body 110 can also carry a humidifier or an air purifier, etc. at the same time.

[0100] The above are only the optional embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
