[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0020] In addition, the terms "first," "second," and so on, used in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0021] Moreover, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a dust collection box, which is arranged at the bottom of the sweeping robot, including a box body and a box cover 10 rotatably arranged on the box body, the box cover 10 can be rotatably closed or opened, and the box cover 10 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene layer 13 facing the ground on the side away from the box body.

[0023] In this embodiment, the dust collection box includes a box body and a box cover 10 rotatably mounted on the box body. The box cover 10 can be rotated to close or open the box body. The box cover 10 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene layer 13 facing the ground on the side of the box cover 10 facing away from the box body. Therefore, in this technical solution, by providing the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 13 facing the ground on the side of the box cover 10 facing away from the box body, the polytetrafluoroethylene layer 13 can reduce friction between the robot vacuum and the ground when the robot vacuum is moving on the ground, thereby reducing resistance and correspondingly reducing noise during operation.
