[0059] In order to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present application more clearly, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] The sweeping robot belongs to a cleaning intelligent mobile product. When performing a cleaning task, the sweeping robot mainly relies on a middle roller brush to roll up dust on the ground, and relies on air flow generated by a fan inside a main machine to suck the dust into a dust box. Since the roller brush has a limited coverage area in work, two cleaning assemblies are arranged at positions on both sides of the front part of the sweeping robot. The cleaning assemblies gather dust on both sides of the roller brush to the coverage area of the roller brush, so as to facilitate cleaning of the roller brush, thereby increasing the coverage area of the sweeping robot in cleaning, expanding the cleaning range, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0061] In the related art, the sweeping robot arranges one or two cleaning assemblies at the bottom of the machine. The cleaning assemblies are fixed on a chassis. In work, the side brushes of the cleaning assemblies are always in a rotating state. When the machine climbs over an obstacle or climbs over a carpet or cleans a sanitary corner, the cleaning assemblies hinder the machine from climbing or rolling up the carpet, so that the machine cannot clean in some specific scenes, and the cleaning efficiency and user experience are affected.

[0062] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides a cleaning module, a cleaning device, and a cleaning system, so that the cleaning device can clean in specific scenes, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and user experience.

[0063] The design idea of the present application is: Figure 1 Fig. 1 shows a state diagram of a cleaning module in a sweeping position in one or more embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 Fig. 2 shows a state diagram of the cleaning module in a retracted position, Figure 1 Fig. 3 shows a state diagram of the cleaning module in the sweeping position. In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cleaning assembly 4 of the cleaning module is controlled to reciprocate, so that the cleaning assembly 4 is switched between the sweeping position and the retracted position, so as to meet the cleaning work of the machine in different scenes, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and user experience. The specific technical solutions will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Figure 3 Fig. 4 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module, Figure 1 Fig. 5 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 4 Fig. 6 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 2 Fig. 7 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 3 Fig. 8 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 4 Fig. 9 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 3 Fig. 10 shows a transmission structure diagram of the cleaning module. In order to show clearly, Figure 4The cleaning module of the present application includes a power component 1, a swing arm 2, a support shaft 3 and a cleaning component 4, wherein the power component 1 is provided with a reciprocating swinging toggle part 101, the swing arm 2 has a toggle end 201 and a connecting end 202, the toggle end 201 is connected to the toggle part 101, and the connecting end 202 is connected to the support shaft 3. Driven by the toggle part 101, the swing arm 2 drives the support shaft 3 to reciprocate, and the cleaning component 4 is connected to the support shaft 3 to reciprocate synchronously with the support shaft 3 to switch between the cleaning position and the retracted position.

[0065] The cleaning module provided by the present application has a power assembly 1 provided with a reciprocating swinging toggle portion 101, a swing arm 2 with a toggle end 201 connected to the toggle portion 101, and a swing arm 2 with a connection end 202 connected to the support shaft 3. Therefore, the swing arm 2 can drive the support shaft 3 to rotate back and forth under the drive of the toggle portion 101; and since the cleaning assembly 4 is connected to the support shaft 3, under the condition that the support shaft 3 rotates back and forth, the cleaning assembly 4 and the support shaft 3 can be driven to rotate back and forth synchronously, so that the cleaning assembly 4 can switch between the cleaning position and the retracted position, so that the cleaning assembly 4 of the cleaning module can switch to the retracted position in special scenarios such as the machine crawling over carpets or cleaning sanitary corners, so that the cleaning equipment can operate normally, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and user experience. The specific technical solution of the cleaning module will be described in detail below with the help of the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Combine Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The cleaning module of the present application includes a base 5, which is provided with a accommodating cavity 501. The first driving member 102 can be a driving motor, which is placed under the base 5. The output part of the first driving member 102 is assembled into the accommodating cavity 501 of the base 5 through the bottom of the base 5.

[0067] Figure 5 Shown Figure 3 Internal diagram of the base, Figure 6 Shown Figure 5 Internal diagram of the base in Figure 1. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The power assembly 1 of the present application includes a first driving member 102, a first transmission member 103 and a toggle member 104. The first driving member 102 has a rotatable output part, and the first transmission member 103 is transmission-connected to the output part of the first driving member 102; the toggle member 104 is connected to the first rotating member, and the toggle member 104 is configured as a toggle part 101.

[0068] Combine Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In one embodiment, the first transmission member 103 is placed in the accommodating cavity 501 of the base 5. The first transmission member 103 includes a first gear 1031 and a second gear 1032, wherein the first gear 1031 is assembled on the output portion of the first driving member 102, the second gear 1032 is meshed with the first gear 1031, and the toggle member 104 is connected to the circumference of the second gear 1032. When the first driving member 102 is in operation, the first gear 1031 drives the second gear 1032 to rotate, thereby causing the toggle member 104 to rotate synchronously with the second gear 1032. In addition, the radius of the first gear 1031 is preferably smaller than the radius of the second gear 1032, so that the second gear 1032 can rotate at a lower speed, thereby reducing the swing speed of the cleaning assembly 4 and improving the stability of the swing of the cleaning assembly 4. In another embodiment, the first transmission member 103 may also include only the first gear 1031, and the swing member is connected to the circumference of the first gear 1031.

[0069] Figure 7 Shown Figure 5 or Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the second gear in. Figure 7 Since the toggle portion 101 of the power assembly 1 is reciprocating, the rotation angle of the second gear 1032 is limited. In one embodiment, the second gear 1032 can be configured in a fan shape, with its center portion mounted on the rotating shaft on the base 5. This reduces the space occupied by the second gear 1032 while ensuring that the second gear 1032 and the first gear 1031 are meshed and connected and drive the toggle member 104 to reciprocate. In another embodiment, the first gear 1031 can also be designed in a fan shape, or both the first gear 1031 and the second gear 1032 can be fan-shaped. This can also reduce the space occupied by the first transmission member 103 while ensuring that the second gear 1032 and the first gear 1031 are meshed and connected and drive the toggle member 104 to reciprocate.

[0070] Figure 8 Shown Figure 5 or Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the base structure. Figure 7 as well as Figure 8The base 5 can be provided with a guide groove 502 at the position for supporting the second gear 1032, and the second gear 1032 is provided with a guide part 1033 movably connected in the guide groove 502, and under the condition that the second gear 1032 is driven to reciprocate by the first gear 1031, the guide part 1033 moves in the guide groove 502 to make the second gear 1032 rotate smoothly. In an embodiment, the guide groove 502 can be provided with two sections in opposite directions, and the second gear 1032 is provided with a guide block at two side edges, the bottom of the guide block protrudes from the bottom of the second gear 1032 and is movably inserted in the corresponding guide groove 502, and under the condition that the second gear 1032 is driven to reciprocate by the first gear 1031, the guide block moves in the guide groove 502, and the guide block is configured as the guide part 1033. In another embodiment, the guide groove can also be provided with one section, and the second gear 1032 is provided with the guide block at one side edge; or the guide block is provided on the bottom of the second gear 1032, which is not limited here.

[0071] In combination Figure 3-Figure 6 The cleaning module of the present application further comprises a position confirming member 6 to confirm that the cleaning assembly 4 is in the cleaning position or the retracted position. In an embodiment, the position confirming member 6 is provided with two, respectively used to confirm that the cleaning assembly 4 is in the cleaning position or the retracted position.

[0072] Figure 9 The structure of the position confirming member is shown, Figure 10 The assembly of the position confirming member and the second gear is shown, Figure 9 and Figure 10 In specific implementation, the position confirming member 6 can include a light interruption sensor, and the position confirming member 6 can be provided with two, which can be connected on a mounting plate 7 by buckling or the like, and the mounting plate 7 can be assembled on the inner side of the top of the base 5, and the two housings can be provided at intervals around the central axis of the second gear 1032, and the light shielding member is provided on the second gear 1032 to rotate synchronously with the second gear 1032, for example, the light shielding member can be selected as the guide block to reduce the setting of components and simplify the structure. The light shielding member and the housing are provided one by one, and the two light shielding members pass through the corresponding housings to form detection confirmation of two kinds of position attitudes. According to another embodiment of the present application, the position confirming member 6 can also be a contact switch or other contact type sensor, which can be connected on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 501 of the base 5 by buckling or the like, and is respectively provided on both sides of the swing space of the swing arm 2, and the swing arm 2 serves as a trigger 1202 to trigger the corresponding position confirming member 6 when the cleaning assembly 4 is in different positions to form detection confirmation of two kinds of positions.

[0073] Figure 11 The structure of the swing arm is shown, Figure 11The swing arm 2 of the present application can be a rod-shaped structure, which is placed on the bottom of the accommodating cavity 501 of the base 5. The size of the toggle end 201 of the swing arm 2 is preferably smaller than the size of the connecting end 202 to reduce the range of the swing space formed by its swinging, so as to reduce the occupied space.

[0074] Combine Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The cleaning module further includes two anti-collision members 8, which are positioned on either side of the swinging space of the swing arm 2. When the swing arm 2 swings to its limit position, the swing arm 2 contacts the anti-collision members 8 to reduce noise and limit the rotational position of the swing arm 2. In a specific implementation, the anti-collision members 8 can be a block-shaped structure made of elastic material, which can be connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 501 of the base 5 by snapping, plugging, or bonding, without limitation.

[0075] Figure 12 Shown Figure 11 Another structural diagram of the perspective. Figure 12 In one embodiment, a connection groove 203 may be provided at the bottom of the connection end 202 of the swing arm 2. The top end of the support shaft 3 may pass through the bottom of the base 5 and be inserted into the connection groove 203 of the connection end 202 of the swing arm 2. The support shaft 3 and the connection end 202 of the swing arm 2 may then be connected by screws or other parts. In another embodiment, a connection end 202 of the swing arm 2 may be provided with a gap at the bottom of the base 5, and the support shaft 3 and the connection end 202 of the swing arm 2 may be connected by screws or other parts. This is not limited here.

[0076] Figure 13 The figure shows the cavity structure diagram of the cleaning module base, support base and base. Figure 13 In one embodiment, the cleaning module further includes a base 9 and a support base 10. The base 9 is placed below the base 5. The base 9 and part of the side of the base 5 are connected through the support base 10 to form a cavity structure with an opening. The two ends of the support shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the base 9 and the base 5 respectively. The cleaning component 4 is connected to the support shaft 3 to swing back and forth in the cavity structure to switch between the cleaning position and the retracted position.

[0077] Combine Figure 3-Figure 6According to one embodiment of the present application, the toggle end 201 of the swing arm 2 can be detachably abutted against the toggle portion 101. When the cleaning assembly 4 is in the cleaning position, the toggle end 201 of the toggle arm is placed on the side of the toggle portion 101 of the power assembly 1. When the toggle portion 101 of the power assembly 1 rotates in a certain direction (for example, counterclockwise), the swing arm 2 is driven to drive the support shaft 3 to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise), and then drive the cleaning assembly 4 connected to the support shaft 3 to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise), so as to switch the cleaning assembly 4 to the retracted position.

[0078] Combine Figure 5 When the cleaning assembly 4 is in the retracted position, the end of the toggle portion 101 abuts against the side of the toggle end 201 of the swing arm 2, and the contact area between the toggle portion 101 and the toggle end 201 forms an angle α with the side of the swing arm 2 facing the toggle portion 101 in the radial direction on the toggle portion 101. This angle α is less than or equal to 90°. At this time, the first driving member 102 can be controlled to stop working, and the supporting force of the toggle portion 101 on the toggle arm can be used to maintain the cleaning assembly 4 in the retracted position to reduce energy consumption. The radial direction of the contact area between the toggle portion 101 and the toggle end 201 on the toggle portion 101 refers to the connection between the contact area between the toggle portion 101 and the toggle end 201 and the central axis of the second gear 1032. The side of the swing arm 2 facing the toggle portion 101 is a flat surface.

[0079] Combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In order to realize the switching of the cleaning component 4 from the retracted position to the cleaning position, the cleaning module of the present application also includes a reset member 11. The reset member 11 is arranged between the support seat 10 and the cleaning component 4. During the driving of the toggle part 101 of the power component 1, the swing arm 2, the support shaft 3 and the cleaning component 4, the reset member 11 is compressed and deformed; when the cleaning component 4 needs to be switched from the retracted position to the cleaning position, the toggle part 101 of the power component 1 is first controlled to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise) so that the angle α is greater than 90°, and then the deformation recovery force of the reset member 11 is used to switch the cleaning component 4 to the cleaning position. At this time, the power component 1, the swing arm 2 and the support shaft 3 all return to the corresponding positions, and the supporting force of the reset member 11 is used to keep the cleaning component 4 in the cleaning position. At the same time, when the cleaning equipment is working, if an external object touches the cleaning component 4, the setting of the reset member 11 can also buffer the cleaning component 4, thereby increasing the service life of the cleaning component 4.

[0080] Figure 14 FIG2 shows an assembly diagram of the swing part and the swing arm when the cleaning module in another embodiment is in the cleaning position. Figure 15 FIG2 shows an assembly diagram of the swing part and the swing arm when the cleaning module is in the retracted position in another embodiment. Figure 16 Shown Figure 14Exploded diagram of the toggle part and the swing arm. Figure 14-16 According to another embodiment of the present application, a first connecting portion 105 is provided at the end of the toggle portion 101, and a second connecting portion 204 is provided at the end of the swing arm 2. The first connecting portion 105 and the second connecting portion 204 are connected, wherein one of the first connecting portion 105 and the second connecting portion 204 is a connecting hole and the other is a connecting member, and the connecting member can move in the connecting hole along the length direction of the connecting hole. When the cleaning component 4 is in the cleaning position, the toggle end 201 of the toggle arm is placed on the side of the toggle portion 101 of the power component 1. When the toggle portion 101 of the power component 1 rotates in a certain direction (for example, counterclockwise), the connecting member moves in the connecting hole along the length direction of the connecting hole. At the same time, the driving swing arm 2 drives the support shaft 3 to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise), and then drives the cleaning component 4 connected to the support shaft 3 to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise) to switch the cleaning component 4 to the retracted position. When the cleaning component 4 switches from the retracted position to the cleaning position, the toggle portion 101 of the power component 1 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction (for example, clockwise), and the connecting member moves in the opposite direction along the length direction of the connecting hole in the connecting hole. At the same time, the driving swing arm 2 drives the support shaft 3 to rotate (for example, counterclockwise), and then drives the cleaning component 4 connected to the support shaft 3 to rotate (for example, counterclockwise) to switch the cleaning component 4 to the cleaning position.

[0081] Combine Figure 16 In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 105 on the toggle portion 101 can be the aforementioned connecting member, which can be a connecting shaft, etc., and the second connecting portion 204 on the toggle arm 2 can be the aforementioned connecting hole, which can be a round hole or a rectangular hole. In another embodiment, the first connecting portion 105 and the second connecting portion 204 can also be interchangeable, that is, the first connecting portion 105 can be the aforementioned connecting hole, and the second connecting portion 204 can be the aforementioned connecting member, without limitation.

[0082] In the scheme where the position switching of the cleaning assembly 4 is achieved by using two mutually cooperating connecting parts, the cleaning module may also include the aforementioned reset member 11. Although the reset member 11 also deforms accordingly during the position switching process of the cleaning assembly 4, its main function is to buffer the impact of external objects on the cleaning assembly 4, thereby increasing the service life of the cleaning assembly 4. The assembly details of the reset member 11 are now further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 17-Figure 19 The reset member 11 can be a torsion spring. The reset member 11 is placed on the support shaft 3 between the first sleeve portion 402 and the second sleeve portion 403. The reset member 11 has two free ends, namely a first free end 1101 and a second free end 1102. Two first free ends 1101 can be provided. The two first free ends 1101 are connected to the side walls of the support seat 10, and the second free end 1102 can be against the inner side of the cleaning component 4 to deform accordingly during the position switching process of the cleaning component 4.

[0084] It should be noted that the switching action of the cleaning assembly 4 can also be reversed. For example, the cleaning assembly 4 can be switched from the retracted position to the cleaning position by the force of the toggle portion 101 of the power assembly 1, and the cleaning assembly 4 can be switched from the cleaning position to the retracted position by the deformation recovery force of the elastic member. For details, please refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0085] Figure 20 Shows a schematic diagram of the transmission structure of the cleaning component, combined with Figure 20 , the cleaning component 4 of the present application also includes a second driving member 404, a worm gear mechanism 405, a second transmission member 406 and a cleaning mechanism, wherein: the second driving member 404 is arranged in the horizontal direction and has a rotatable output end, the input part of the worm gear mechanism 405 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 404, and the output part of the worm gear mechanism 405 is connected to the input shaft of the cleaning mechanism through the second transmission member 406. The cleaning component 4 shown in the present application adopts a horizontally arranged second driving member 404 and cooperates with the transmission connection of the worm gear mechanism 405, which can reduce the horizontal spatial dimensions of the cleaning component 4 to facilitate the arrangement of the remaining components of the cleaning equipment; although the cleaning component 4 will increase the thickness dimension of the cleaning component 4 to a certain extent, it can utilize the internal space of the cavity structure composed of the base 9, the base 5 and the support seat 10, and will not interfere with the arrangement of the remaining components of the cleaning equipment, and has good practicality. Now with the attached Figure 20 The specific structure of the cleaning component 4 is further described.

[0086] Combine Figure 20The second driving member 404, the worm gear mechanism 405, and the second transmission member 406 are all placed in the side brush housing 401. Among them, the second driving member 404 can also be a motor. The turbine of the worm gear mechanism 405 is mounted on the output part of the second driving member. The turbine is rotatably connected to a shaft. The second transmission member 406 may include a third gear that meshes with the turbine. The side brush is placed below the side brush housing 401. The rotating shaft on the side brush passes through the bottom of the side brush housing 401 and is connected to the middle of the third gear. When the cleaning component 4 needs to work, the second driving member 404 is controlled to start, so as to drive the third gear to rotate through the worm gear mechanism 405, and then drive the side brush to rotate.

[0087] Combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 The cleaning module further includes an anti-collision mechanism 12, which is connected to the side of the cleaning component 4. When the anti-collision mechanism collides with an obstacle, a trigger signal is generated to control the cleaning component 4 to retract inward so that the machine can move normally.

[0088] Figure 21 Shown Figure 2 and Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the layout of the anti-collision mechanism, Figure 22 Shown Figure 21 Schematic diagram of the anti-collision mechanism in the combination. Figure 21 as well as Figure 22 The anti-collision mechanism 12 includes a detection member 1201 and a trigger member 1202. The detection member 1201 is disposed on the side of the cleaning assembly 4. The trigger member 1202 protrudes from the side of the cleaning assembly 4 and is elastically connected to the detection member 1201. For example, the inner side of the trigger member 1202 is connected to the detection member 1201 via a spring 1203. When the trigger member 1202 collides with an obstacle, the trigger member 1202 moves toward the detection member 1201 and contacts the detection member 1201 to generate a trigger signal. When the obstacle is contacted, the trigger member 1202 returns to its initial position.

[0089] In summary, the cleaning module provided in the present application can realize the switching of the cleaning component 4 between the cleaning position or the retracted position through a driving member to adapt to different cleaning scenarios, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency, and has good adaptability and practicality.
