The exemplary embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be understood that various modifications and changes can be made to the exemplary embodiments without departing from the protection scope of the present disclosure.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] In order to improve the automation level of cleaning equipment, cleaning equipment often has a walking function. In cleaning equipment with a walking function, if the cleaning equipment is stuck on an obstacle and cannot be freed, the user needs to help the cleaning equipment to get out of the obstacle, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0050] In order to solve the above problems, the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure first provides a collision detection component 10, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the collision detection component 10 includes: a first detection member 11, a second detection member 12 and an electrical connection member 13. The first detection member 11 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning equipment 100 along the first direction; the second detection member 12 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning equipment 100 along the second direction. The second detection member 12 includes a pressure-bearing buffer member 121 and a pressure-bearing sensing module 122. The pressure-bearing sensing module 122 is arranged between the first detection member 11 and the pressure buffer member 121; the electrical connection member 13 is arranged between the first detection member 11 and the pressure buffer member 121, and the electrical connection member 13 and the pressure-bearing sensing module 122 are electrically connected.

[0051] The collision detection assembly 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first detection member 11, a second detection member 12 and an electrical connection member 13. The first detection member 11 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 along the first direction, and the second detection member 12 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 in the second direction. The first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12 are used to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 and the obstacle. The collision detection between the cleaning device 100 and the obstacle can be realized by the first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12, which can be used for the cleaning device 100 to avoid obstacles and avoid the problem that the cleaning device 100 is stuck and cannot move. Furthermore, by arranging the electrical connection member 13 connected to the pressure-bearing sensing module 122 between the first detection member 11 and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121, the compactness of the structure of the cleaning device 100 is improved, and the space inside the cleaning device 100 is saved.

[0052] The following describes in detail the various components of the collision detection component 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure:

[0053] The collision detection component 10 is used to detect the collision between the cleaning device 100 and an obstacle. When the collision detection component 100 detects a collision between the cleaning device 100 and an obstacle, the collision signal is transmitted to the control module of the cleaning device 100. The control module replans the walking route of the cleaning device 100 based on the collision signal.

[0054] The first detection member 11 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 along the first direction, and the second detection member 12 is used to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 along the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular. For example, the first direction can be the horizontal direction and the second direction is the vertical direction. The first detection member 11 detects the collision of the cleaning device 100 with obstacles in front of or on the side during the walking process, and the second detection member 12 detects the collision on the top of the cleaning device 100 during the walking process.

[0055] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first direction and the second direction are not limited to the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For example, the first direction can be the vertical direction and the second direction can be the horizontal direction. Or the first direction can form a preset angle with the horizontal direction, etc.

[0056] The first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12 can be arranged on the device main body 20 of the cleaning device 100, and the device main body 20 of the cleaning device 100 can walk. The first detection member 11 is arranged on the side surface of the device main body 20, and the second detection member 12 is arranged on the top surface of the device main body 20. There is a gap between the first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12, and the electrical connection member 13 is arranged between the first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12. Arranging the second detection member 12 on the top surface of the device main body 20 can prevent the cleaning device 100 from being stuck by low obstacles, such as the bottom of a sofa and the bottom of a bed, etc.

[0057] For example, the first detection member 11 can be arranged on the side surface of the device main body 20, and the second detection member 12 is arranged above the first detection member 11. That is, the second detection member 12 is integrated on the first detection member 11 to improve the assembly efficiency of the two. The first detection member 11 can be arranged on the side surface of the front side of the device main body 20. Correspondingly, the second detection member 12 is also arranged on the side surface of the front side of the device main body 20. When the cleaning device 100 is running, if the first detection member 11 or / and the second detection member 12 detect being hit, the cleaning device 100 can respond, and can control the cleaning device 100 to stop moving forward, move backward or change to other directions to drive or stop driving, so as to prevent the cleaning device 100 from continuing to move forward and being trapped by obstacles, which has good practicability.

[0058] Alternatively, the first detection component can be disposed on the side surface of the device main body 20, and the second detection component 12 can be disposed at the edge of the top surface of the device main body 20. For example, the first detection component 11 is disposed on the front side of the device main body 20, and the second detection component 12 is disposed at the edge of the front side of the top surface of the device main body 20. When the cleaning device 100 is running, if the first detection component 11 or / and the second detection component 12 detect being impacted, the cleaning device 100 can respond, and can control the cleaning device 100 to stop moving forward, move backward, change direction to other directions or stop moving, so as to prevent the cleaning device 100 from continuing to move forward and being trapped by obstacles, which has good practicability.

[0059] The first detection component protrudes from the front side surface of the device main body 20 to ensure that when encountering an obstacle in front, the first detection module collides with the obstacle in front first. The second detection component 12 protrudes from the top surface of the device main body 20. When encountering an obstacle above, the second detection component 12 collides with the obstacle above first.

[0060] The first detection component 11 can include a collision buffer plate 111 and a collision sensing module. At least part of the collision buffer plate 111 is configured to be movable in the horizontal direction to detect the collision of the cleaning device 100 in the horizontal direction, and the collision sensing module is triggered in response to the movement of the collision buffer plate 111.

[0061] Wherein, the collision buffer plate 111 is used for the collision of the cleaning device 100 with surrounding objects during the traveling process. The collision buffer plate 111 is slidably mounted on the edge of the front side of the device main body 20, and is generally an arc of 180°. Two collision sensing modules can be provided. The two collision sensing modules are oppositely disposed on the device main body 20, and are symmetrically disposed or substantially symmetrically disposed. Each collision sensing module includes an elastic member and a contact switch, and the elastic member is connected to the collision buffer plate 111. When the collision buffer plate 111 encounters an obstacle, the collision buffer plate 111 slides close to the device main body 20, and the elastic member deforms accordingly until the collision buffer plate 111 abuts against a certain contact switch on the device main body 20. The contact switch sends a touch signal to the controller of the cleaning device 100. After the controller of the cleaning device 100 responds to the received touch signal, it controls the cleaning device 100 to stop moving forward, move backward, change direction to other directions or stop moving, so as to prevent the cleaning device 100 from continuing to move forward and being trapped by obstacles. After the cleaning device 100 gets out of trouble, the elastic member returns to the initial state and drives the collision buffer plate 111 to return to the initial state, and the cleaning device 100 can operate normally.

[0062] Since the collision buffer plate 111 is generally an arc of 180°, the first detection component 11 can not only detect the obstacles on the front side of the cleaning device 100, but also detect the obstacles on the side of the cleaning device 100, which has good practicability.

[0063] A receiving portion is provided on the first detection member 11 for receiving the electrical connection member 13 and the second detection member 12. By way of example, the receiving portion may be a groove or a recess on the first detection member 11. The electrical connection member 13 is provided in the recess, and at least a part of the second detection member 12 is located in the recess.

[0064] By way of example, as Figure 4 shown, the first detection member 11 may include a collision buffer plate 111 and a support plate 112. The collision buffer plate 111 has a front surface and a rear surface. The front surface of the collision buffer plate 111 can contact an obstacle when the cleaning device 100 moves. The support plate 112 is provided on the rear surface of the collision buffer plate 111. The rear surface of the collision buffer plate 111 forms a second wall, and the support plate 112 forms a first wall.

[0065] The collision buffer plate 111 is an arc-shaped structure. The outer arc surface of the collision buffer plate 111 is the front surface, and the inner arc surface is the rear surface. The support plate 112 is also in an arc-shaped structure, and the structure of the support plate 112 matches the structure of the collision buffer plate 111. The support plate 112 and the collision buffer plate 111 may be an integrally formed structure. For example, the support plate 112 and the collision buffer plate 111 may be formed by injection molding or bending. Of course, the support plate 112 and the collision buffer plate 111 may also be a separately formed structure. For example, the support plate 112 is connected to the collision buffer plate 111 by means of snap connection, bonding or bolt connection.

[0066] When the second detection member 12 is provided on the top of the first detection member 11, in order to form a sunken receiving portion on the top of the first detection member 11, the top surface of the support plate 112 is lower than the bottom surface of the collision buffer plate 111. For example, the top surface of the collision buffer plate 111 may be flush with the top surface of the device main body 20, and the top surface of the support plate 112 is lower than the top surface of the device main body 20.

[0067] The second detection member 12 includes a pressure-bearing buffer member 121 and a pressure-bearing induction module 122. At least a part of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 faces the first detection member 11 (at least a part of the projection of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 on the first detection member 11 in the vertical direction coincides with the first detection member 11), and the pressure-bearing induction module 122 is provided between the first detection member 11 and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121.

[0068] The pressure-bearing buffer member 121 can move relative to the first detection member 11 in a second direction. When the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 approaches the first detection member 11, the pressure-bearing induction module 122 is triggered, and the pressure-bearing induction module 122 generates an induction signal. The induction signal is transmitted to the control module of the cleaning device 100 through the conductive connection member 13.

[0069] Further, as Figure 5As shown, the second detection member 12 may further include a guiding member 124 and a resetting member 123. The guiding member 124 is used to guide the movement of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121, and the resetting member 123 is used to reset the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 when the pressure on the cleaning device 100 in the second direction from an external obstacle disappears.

[0070] The resetting member 123 is connected between the support plate 112 and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. When the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 contacts an obstacle, the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 moves in the direction close to the support plate 112 to compress the resetting member 123, and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 triggers the pressure-bearing induction module 122. When the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 and the obstacle are disengaged, the resetting member 123 recovers its deformation, and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 moves in the direction away from the support plate 112 to return to its initial state.

[0071] Exemplarily, the resetting member 123 may be a spring, and its two ends may be connected to the support plate 112 and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. The spring and the support plate 112 and the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 may be in abutting connection or fixedly connected. A guiding column may be provided on the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 or the support plate 112, and the spring is sleeved on the guiding column.

[0072] A guiding member 124 is provided on the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. Correspondingly, a guiding portion cooperating with the guiding member 124 is provided on the support plate 112. The guiding member 124 can move in the second direction relative to the guiding portion, and the cooperation between the guiding member 124 and the guiding portion enables the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 to move in the second direction.

[0073] Wherein, the guiding member 124 may have a columnar structure, and the guiding portion may be a guiding hole. The guiding member 124 is inserted into the guiding hole. When the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 contacts an obstacle, the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 moves in the direction close to the support plate 112, and at the same time, the guiding member 124 and the guiding portion are inserted to guide the movement of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121.

[0074] In order to prevent the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 and the first detection member 11 from becoming loose, the size of the guiding member 124 may be gradually changing, and the size of the guiding portion is also gradually changing. The cross-sectional area of the guiding member 124 gradually increases along the direction away from the pressure-bearing buffer member 121, and the cross-sectional area of the guiding portion gradually increases along the direction away from the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. For example, the guiding member 124 may be in a conical shape, and a positioning column may be provided at the bottom of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. The pressure-bearing buffer member 121 is sleeved on the positioning column and fixed to the positioning column through a connecting member such as a screw. In other embodiments, the guiding member 124 may also be integrally formed at the bottom of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121, which is not limited herein.

[0075] The second detection member 12 includes a plurality of pressure-bearing induction modules 122, and the plurality of pressure-bearing induction modules 122 are distributed at intervals on the electrical connection member 13. The plurality of pressure-bearing induction modules 122 can be evenly distributed on the electrical connection member 13. For example, the electrical connection member 13 is an arc-shaped structure. The plurality of pressure-bearing induction modules 122 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the arc-shaped electrical connection member 13.

[0076] The pressure-bearing induction module 122 can be a pressure switch, and the pressure switch is triggered after the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 moves in the second direction by more than a preset distance. The pressure switch can include a moving part and a static part. The static part is fixedly connected to the electrical connection member 13, the moving part is connected to the static part, and the moving part can move relative to the static part. When the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 moves, the pressure-bearing buffer member 121 pushes the moving part to move relative to the static part, thereby triggering the pressure switch.

[0077] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the pressure-bearing induction module 122 is not limited to a pressure switch, and the pressure-bearing induction module 122 can also be a pressure sensor, a distance sensor or other devices.

[0078] The electrical connection member 13 is used to electrically connect a plurality of pressure-bearing induction modules 122 and transmit the induction signal generated by the pressure-bearing induction module 122 sensing the movement of the pressure-bearing buffer member 121. In some embodiments, the electrical connection member 13 can be a flexible printed circuit board (FPC, Flexible Printed Circuit). Of course, the electrical connection member 13 can also be a printed circuit board or a wire harness, etc.

[0079] The electrical connection member 13 includes a plurality of lug parts 132 and a main body part 131. The pressure-bearing induction module 122 is connected to the lug parts 132; the main body part 131 connects the plurality of lug parts 132. There is a gap between two adjacent lug parts 132 among the plurality of lug parts 132, and the gap area between the adjacent lug parts 132 is used to arrange devices such as the guiding member 124, avoiding problems such as short circuit or open circuit of the electrical connection member 13 caused by the guiding member 124 and other devices passing through the electrical connection member 13. And setting a gap between adjacent lug parts 132 facilitates the bending of the electrical connection member 13.

[0080] A receiving portion is provided on the first detection member 11. The receiving portion has a first wall and a second wall that are not coplanar. The first wall faces the pressure-bearing buffer member 121, the lug part 132 is provided on the first wall, and the main body part 131 is provided on the second wall. By arranging the main body part 131 on the second wall and arranging the lug part 132 on the first wall, the electrical connection member 13 is received in the gap between the first detection member 11 and the second detection member 12, improving the space utilization rate and the convenience of component layout, and solving the problems of large space occupation and difficult assembly of the collision detection assembly.

[0081] The first wall is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second wall is a vertical curved surface. The main body 131 and the lug 132 are both thin plate structures, the lug 132 is arranged close to the first wall, and the main body 131 is arranged close to the second wall. For example, the main body 131 has a long rectangular structure, and the main body 131 is bent into an arc according to the shape of the first detection member 11. The main body 131 is connected to the second wall by bonding or bolting. The lug 132 can be rectangular or approximately rectangular in shape, and the lug 132 is connected to the first wall by bonding or bolting.

[0082] In some embodiments, the rear surface of the collision buffer plate 111 forms the second wall, and the support plate 112 forms the first wall. Specifically, the main body 131 of the electrical connector 13 is disposed on the rear surface of the collision buffer plate 111, and the lugs 132 are disposed on the top surface of the support plate 112. The gaps between adjacent lugs are used to avoid contact with other components on the support plate 112.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the electrical connector 13 includes a first conductive segment 301 and a second conductive segment 302. The first conductive segment 301 and the second conductive segment 302 are connected. The projection of the first conductive segment 301 on the first detection member 11 forms a first projection area, in which at least one pressure sensing module 122 is disposed. The projection of the second conductive segment 302 on the first detection member 11 forms a second projection area, in which at least one pressure sensing module 122 is disposed. The two-segment structure of the conductive member facilitates installation of the conductive member.

[0084] The first conductive segment 301 can be a first flexible circuit board, and the second conductive segment 302 can be a second flexible circuit board. The first flexible circuit board is provided with conductive traces, which are connected to the pressure sensing module 122 provided on the first flexible circuit board. The second flexible circuit board is provided with conductive traces, which are connected to the pressure sensing module 122 provided on the second flexible circuit board.

[0085] Furthermore, the collision detection assembly 10 may further include a connection base 14 . The connection base 14 is provided on a side of the electrical connector 13 away from the pressure-bearing buffer 121 . The connection base 14 is respectively connected to the first conductive segment 301 and the second conductive segment 302 .

[0086] Connector 14 includes a conductive structure that is electrically connected to electrical connector 13. Connector 14 is used to connect to a signal transmission circuit that can be connected to the control module of cleaning device 100. Signals generated by pressure sensing module 122 are transmitted to the control module via conductive connector 13, connector 14, and the signal transmission circuit.
