[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the present application provides a sweeping robot, which includes an air pump 100, a base plate 200, and a wind shield assembly 300. The base plate 200 is provided with an air outlet 210, which is connected to the air pump 100. The wind shield assembly 300 includes a wind shield plate 310, which is fixedly installed on a side of the base plate 200 away from the air pump 100, and the wind shield plate 310 is adjacent to the air outlet 210.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the sweeping robot also includes a shell 400, which is a container with an opening on one side. The shape of the bottom plate 200 matches the shape of the opening of the shell 400, and the bottom plate 200 is fixedly installed at the opening of the shell 400, so that a storage space for accommodating objects is formed between the bottom plate 200 and the shell 400. The air pump 100 is located in the storage space, and the air pump 100 is fixedly installed with the bottom plate 200. The air pump 100 is used to dissipate heat for the sweeping robot. A blowing port 210 is provided at the position of the bottom plate 200 corresponding to the air pump 100. The blowing port 210 runs through the bottom plate 200, and the air pump 100 is connected to the blowing port 210, so that the gas generated by the air pump 100 can be discharged from the blowing port 210. The wind shield 310 in the wind shield assembly 300 is fixed on the side of the base plate 200 away from the air pump 100, and the wind shield 310 is adjacent to the blowing port 210. The function of the wind shield 310 is to block the gas discharged from the blowing port 210 from blowing directly to the ground, reducing the situation where the gas blows up dust on the ground, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0026] In summary, by providing the wind shield 310, the gas discharged from the air outlet 210 can be effectively prevented from blowing up dust on the ground, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot and making the cleaning work more thorough.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the windshield 310 includes a mounting portion 311 and a windshield portion 312 . The mounting portion 311 is connected to the windshield portion 312 . The angle formed between the mounting portion 311 and the windshield portion 312 is a first angle 313 . The first angle 313 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the mounting portion 311 is the portion of the windshield 310 used for securing it to other components. The mounting portion 311 is rectangular and has several mounting holes defined therein. Screws pass through the holes to secure the mounting portion 311 to the base plate 200. The windshield 312 is the portion of the windshield 310 that primarily blocks wind. Its shape and size affect the windshield's effectiveness. The windshield 312 is rectangular and connected to the mounting portion 311. Preferably, the windshield 312 and the mounting portion 311 are integrally formed. The first angle 313 is the angle formed between the mounting portion 311 and the windshield 312. This angle is greater than or equal to 90 degrees. Preferably, the first angle 313 is an obtuse angle, enabling the windshield 312 to better block the airflow at the air outlet 210.

[0029] In summary, when the first angle 313 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, the windshield 312 can more effectively block airflow, preventing it from spreading in unwanted directions. Furthermore, the angle between the mounting portion 311 and the windshield 312 also makes the windshield 310 more stable, capable of withstanding greater airflow pressure and less susceptible to deformation or damage. Furthermore, this design allows the first angle 313 to be adjusted to suit different usage requirements to achieve optimal windshield performance, thereby enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the robot vacuum.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the windshield assembly 300 further includes a first fixing plate 320 and a second fixing plate 330 . The first fixing plate 320 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 200 , and the second fixing plate 330 and the first fixing plate 320 clamp and fix the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310 .

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the first fixing plate 320 and the second fixing plate 330 are auxiliary components used to secure the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310. The first fixing plate 320 is fixedly mounted to the base plate 200, providing a stable support for the windshield 310. The second fixing plate 330 cooperates with the first fixing plate 320 to sandwich the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310. Screws pass through the second fixing plate 330, the windshield 310, and the first fixing plate 320, securing the windshield 310 to the base plate 200, thereby firmly securing the windshield 310. This clamping method ensures that the windshield 310 will not loosen or shift during operation, ensuring a stable windshield effect.

[0032] In summary, the clamping and fixing of the first fixing plate 320 and the second fixing plate 330 allows the windshield 310 to be more securely mounted on the base plate 200. Even if the robot vacuum cleaner encounters vibrations or collisions during operation, the windshield 310 will not easily loosen or fall off. This stable fixing method ensures the normal operation of the robot vacuum cleaner and improves its reliability and durability.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the first fixing plate 320 includes a first fixing portion 321 and a first guide portion 322 . The first fixing portion 321 and the first guide portion 322 are connected, and an angle formed between the first fixing portion 321 and the first guide portion 322 is a second angle 323 .

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the first fixing portion 321 is a portion on the first fixing plate 320 used for fixing and installing with the base plate 200 and cooperating with the second fixing plate 330 to clamp the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310. The first fixing portion 321 is in contact with the mounting portion 311, and the first guide portion 322 is provided on the side of the first fixing portion 321 close to the windshield portion 312. Preferably, the first fixing portion 321 and the first guide portion 322 are integrally formed, and the first guide portion 322 is in contact with the windshield portion 312. The second angle 323 is the angle formed between the first fixing portion 321 and the first guide portion 322.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing plate 330 includes a second fixing portion 331 and a second guide portion 332, the second fixing portion 331 and the second guide portion 332 are connected, and the angle formed between the second fixing portion 331 and the second guide portion 332 is a third angle 333, and the third angle 333 is the same as the second angle 323.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the second fixing portion 331 is a portion on the second fixing plate 330 that is used to cooperate with the first fixing plate 320 to clamp the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310. The second fixing portion 331 is in contact with the mounting portion 311. The second guide portion 332 is provided on a side of the second fixing portion 331 close to the windshield portion 312. The second guide portion 332 is in contact with the windshield portion 312. Preferably, the second fixing portion 331 and the second guide portion 332 are integrally formed. The third angle 333 is the angle formed between the second fixing portion 331 and the second guide portion 332. Since the first fixing portion 321 and the second fixing portion 331 clamp the mounting portion 311 of the windshield 310, and the first guide portion 322 and the second guide portion 332 clamp the windshield portion 312 of the windshield 310, and since the third angle 333 formed between the first fixing portion 321 and the first guide portion 322 is the same as the second angle 323 formed between the second fixing portion 331 and the second guide portion 332, the degree of the first angle 313 of the windshield 310 is fixed, that is, the shape of the windshield 310 is determined by the shapes of the first fixing plate 320 and the second fixing plate 330.

[0037] In summary, the windshield 310 is clamped and fixed by the first fixing plate 320 and the second fixing plate 330 of the same shape, so that the windshield 310 is not easily deformed.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the sweeping robot further includes a roller brush assembly 500 , which is installed based on the base plate 200 . The roller brush assembly 500 can approach or move away from the base plate 200 , and the windshield 310 is located between the base plate 200 and the roller brush assembly 500 .

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the roller brush assembly 500 is the main component of the sweeping robot for cleaning the floor. The roller brush assembly 500 is mounted on the base plate 200 and can operate under the support of the base plate 200. The windshield 310 is provided between the roller brush assembly 500 and the base plate 200. The roller brush assembly 500 includes an elastic device 510, preferably a spring. The roller brush assembly 500 is elastically connected to the base plate 200 via the elastic device 510, allowing the roller brush assembly 500 to move closer to or further away from the base plate 200. This design allows the sweeping robot to adjust the degree of contact between the roller brush and the floor in different working scenarios, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] In summary, the design of the roller brush assembly 500 being able to move closer to or further away from the base plate 200 allows the robot vacuum to adjust to different floor conditions and cleaning needs. For example, when cleaning thick dust or debris, the roller brush assembly 500 can be moved away from the base plate 200 to increase the pressure between the roller brush assembly 500 and the ground, improving the cleaning force. When encountering obstacles, the roller brush assembly 500 can be moved closer to the base plate 200 to prevent collisions. This adjustable design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the robot vacuum, allowing it to better meet the needs of different users.

[0041] The windshield 310 is made of elastic material to accommodate the movement of the roller brush assembly 500 .

[0042] In a specific embodiment, since the wind shield 310 is located between the base plate 200 and the roller brush assembly 500, and the distance between the roller brush assembly 500 and the base plate 200 will change with actual conditions, the wind shield 310 needs to be made of an elastic material. Preferably, the wind shield 310 is made of a rubber material so that when the roller brush assembly 500 moves toward the base plate 200, the wind shield 310 can be compressed, thereby avoiding collision between the wind shield 310 and the roller brush assembly 500. When the roller brush assembly 500 moves away from the base plate 200, the compressed wind shield 310 can return to its original state.

[0043] In summary, the design of the windshield 310 made of elastic material makes the robot vacuum cleaner safer and more reliable during operation. When the roller brush assembly 500 moves toward the base plate 200, the windshield 310 can be compressed, avoiding hard collisions between the windshield 310 and the roller brush assembly 500, reducing the risk of component damage.

[0044] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
