[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an automatic cleaning device is provided, including a first module, a second module and a first detection member, a first contact structure 2 is provided on the first module, and a second contact structure 4 is provided on the second module. When the first module is connected to the second module, the first contact structure 2 and the second contact structure 4 are fitted together to form a first loop to trigger the first detection member on the first loop.

[0035] The first contact structure 2 on the first module is matched with the second contact structure 4 on the second module to form a first loop, and the first detection piece is triggered by the first loop to determine the installation condition. The contact detection mode is more direct and stable, which can more accurately determine whether the first module and the second module are installed in place, effectively reduces the false triggering condition, ensures the normal work of the automatic cleaning equipment, and improves the user experience. Moreover, the overall structure formed by the first contact structure 2, the second contact structure 4 and the first detection piece is relatively simple, thereby reducing the production cost, saving the cost in mass production of the automatic cleaning equipment, and improving the product competitiveness.

[0036] The first module and the second module are two modules with a matching relationship in the automatic cleaning equipment, and the first module and the second module can be connected and separated.

[0037] Specifically, for example, the first module and the second module can be the dust box 3 and the shell 1, and can also be the side brush and the shell 1, the roller brush and the shell 1, and the mop and the shell 1.

[0038] At least a part of the first contact structure 2 and at least a part of the second contact structure 4 are made of conductive material, and then the first loop formed after being matched is conductive.

[0039] The first detection piece can introduce a detection current into the first loop, and determine whether the first loop is conductive through the current. If it is conductive, it is determined that the first module and the second module are assembled in place. If it is not conductive, it is determined that the first module and the second module are not assembled in place.

[0040] Specifically, the first detection piece can be a control mainboard of the automatic cleaning equipment.

[0041] The first detection piece is arranged on the first module, and the first detection piece is connected with the first contact structure 2 through a wire. The connection mode is simple and direct, which can ensure the reliability and stability of signal transmission, thereby more accurately detecting the module installation state and further improving the stability of the automatic cleaning equipment.

[0042] The wire is arranged on the first module, so that the wiring is more regular and concentrated, reducing the possibility of mutual interference between the lines, facilitating the rational planning and utilization of the internal space of the equipment, and also facilitating the management and maintenance of the lines during the equipment assembly process.

[0043] The first contact structure 2 includes a first conductive piece 21 and a second conductive piece 22, and the first conductive piece 21 and the second conductive piece 22 are respectively connected with the first detection piece through a wire. The first conductive piece 21 and the second conductive piece 22 are arranged on the wall surface of the first module facing the second module, so as to be matched with the second contact structure 4.

[0044] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are arranged apart from each other, that is, not in direct contact, and a spacing distance is arranged between the two to avoid detection errors caused by direct contact between the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22.

[0045] When the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are in good contact with the second contact structure 4 of the second module at the same time, a complete circuit is formed to trigger the first detection part.

[0046] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are both made of metal, specifically, metal sheets.

[0047] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are arranged on the wall surface of the first module facing the second module, and the second contact structure 4 is arranged on the wall surface of the second module facing the first module, so that after the first module and the second module are assembled together, the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 can be attached to the second contact structure 4.

[0048] The first end of the first conductive part 21 is connected to a wire, and the second end of the first conductive part 21 extends away from the wall surface to form a spacing space with the wall surface. The first end of the second conductive part 22 is connected to a wire, and the second end of the second conductive part 22 extends away from the wall surface to form a spacing space with the wall surface.

[0049] By extending the second end of the first conductive part 21 and the second end of the second conductive part 22 away from the wall surface to form a spacing space, when the first module and the second module are connected, the second end of the first conductive part 21 and the second end of the second conductive part 22 can more flexibly adapt to the surface shape and position changes of the second module, ensuring sufficient and stable attachment to the second contact structure 4. Even if there is some unevenness on the surface of the second module or slight deviation in the installation position, the elastic deformation space of the conductive part can ensure effective contact, thereby forming a reliable first circuit and improving the accuracy and stability of detection.

[0050] By arranging a spacing space, the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 have a space for elastic deformation. During the installation of the second module and the first module, when the second module and the first module gradually approach and press the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22, the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 can elastically deform within a certain range to produce appropriate contact pressure, which helps to overcome the possible presence of small impurities, oxidation layers and other unfavorable factors on the contact surface, ensuring good electrical conductivity and further improving the reliability of detection, while also reducing the damage to the conductive part or the second contact structure 4 caused by hard contact.

[0051] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are both made of metal, specifically, can be a metal sheet structure, and further have a certain elasticity.

[0052] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 can have the same formation and size, which facilitates manufacturing and installation.

[0053] Specifically, in the absence of external force, the first end and the second end of the first conductive part 21 can be arranged in parallel, the connecting section between the first end and the second end is arranged in an inclined manner, the first end is parallel to and closely attached to the outer wall, the connecting section and the second end have a certain deformation space, the second end is substantially parallel to the wall surface where the second contact structure 4 is located, thereby ensuring close attachment.

[0054] Specifically, in the absence of external force, the first end and the second end of the second conductive part 22 can be arranged in parallel, the connecting section between the first end and the second end is arranged in an inclined manner, the first end is parallel to and closely attached to the outer wall, the connecting section and the second end have a certain deformation space, the second end is substantially parallel to the wall surface where the second contact structure 4 is located, thereby ensuring close attachment.

[0055] The first end of the first conductive part 21 and the first end of the second conductive part 22 are provided with wire holes, and the wires are connected to the wire holes.

[0056] The first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 are arranged in parallel.

[0057] The second end of the first conductive part 21 and the second end of the second conductive part 22 are respectively provided with conductive protrusions 23, and the conductive protrusions 23 protrude towards the second contact structure 4.

[0058] In the long-term use process, an oxide layer may be formed on the surface of the second contact structure 4, which will increase the contact resistance, affect the conductivity, and even cause poor contact and make the detection invalid. By arranging the conductive protrusions 23 on the second ends of the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22, when contacting the second contact structure 4, the oxide layer can be pierced by the relatively sharp shape, so that a more direct and reliable metal-to-metal conductive path is formed between the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 and the second contact structure 4, ensuring stable electrical signal transmission and improving the accuracy and stability of detection.

[0059] By arranging the conductive protrusions 23, when there is a slight unevenness or manufacturing tolerance on the surface of the second contact structure 4, the conductive protrusions 23 can also better adapt to such surface conditions.

[0060] Compared with the flat contact, the presence of the conductive protrusion 23 concentrates the contact pressure on the protrusion part, which can generate a larger local contact pressure under the same installation pressure, helps to form a tighter atomic bonding between the first and second conductive parts 21 and 22 and the second contact structure 4, reduces the contact resistance, and enables the first circuit to more sensitively perceive the installation state change of the module.

[0061] Specifically, in actual use, the movement of the automatic cleaning device may cause relative movement between the first and second modules, resulting in a change in the contact area between the first and second conductive parts 21 and 22 and the second contact structure 4. The relatively small contact area of the conductive protrusion 23 can reduce the impact of fluctuations on the overall electrical conductivity. Because the smaller contact area means that the relative change in contact resistance is smaller under the same contact pressure change, the detection signal is more stable, which helps to improve the anti-interference ability of the detection system, ensures accurate detection of the installation condition in various complex environments, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the automatic cleaning device.

[0062] The second contact structure 4 is a metal conductive part and / or a conductive coating, both of which can provide good electrical conductivity and ensure tight fitting with the first contact structure 2.

[0063] Among them, the material form of the second contact structure 4 can be flexibly selected according to factors such as cost, space layout, manufacturing process, etc. For example, for some devices that are more strict in space requirements and cost sensitive, a conductive coating can be selected as the second contact structure 4, because the conductive coating can be directly coated on the surface of the existing component without the need for additional complex metal conductive part structure, thereby saving space and reducing cost. For some high-end devices or special function modules that require extremely high electrical performance and stability, a metal conductive part can be selected as the second contact structure 4, which can provide more reliable electrical performance and mechanical strength to ensure the high precision and long-term stability of the detection system.

[0064] In one embodiment, the second contact structure 4 is a metal conductive part, which can be a metal sheet that is parallel and fitted on the wall surface.

[0065] In one embodiment, the second contact structure 4 is a conductive coating that is sprayed on the wall surface that cooperates with the first contact structure 2.

[0066] In one embodiment, the second contact structure 4 simultaneously includes a metal conductive part and a conductive coating, for example, the first conductive part 21 is fitted with the metal conductive part, and the second conductive part 22 is fitted with the conductive coating.

[0067] As a first embodiment, the first module is a shell 1 of the automatic cleaning device, and the second module is a dust box 3 of the automatic cleaning device, thereby realizing detection of whether the dust box 3 is installed in place on the shell 1.

[0068] The shell 1 is provided with a mounting groove, and the dust box 3 is arranged in the mounting groove, thereby realizing reasonable planning and efficient utilization of the internal space of the automatic cleaning device.

[0069] The first contact structure 2 is arranged on the groove bottom of the mounting groove, and the second contact structure 4 is arranged on the bottom outer wall of the dust box 3.

[0070] By arranging the first contact structure 2 on the groove bottom of the mounting groove and arranging the second contact structure 4 on the bottom outer wall of the dust box 3, it is ensured that the first contact structure 2 and the second contact structure 4 can accurately correspond and contact during installation of the dust box 3 into the mounting groove, so that the detection point is fixed and clear, and detection errors caused by uncertain or offset detection points are effectively avoided, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of detection of whether the dust box 3 is installed in place, and providing more accurate protection for normal operation of the automatic cleaning device.

[0071] In this way, when the dust box 3 is installed, the operator only needs to insert the dust box 3 along the direction of the mounting groove, without needing to pay special attention to the alignment of the contact structures, because the first contact structure 2 and the second contact structure 4 are naturally aligned in design, so that the dust box 3 is more convenient and fast to install, thereby improving the convenience of user operation, reducing the operation difficulty, reducing the risk of damage or failure of the device caused by improper installation, and improving the user experience.

[0072] In this way, the opening of the mounting groove is vertically upward, and the groove bottom of the mounting groove is the internal bottom surface of the mounting groove.

[0073] In this way, the dust box 3 is inserted vertically downward into the mounting groove, and the bottom outer wall of the dust box 3 is the outer wall surface below the dust box 3.

[0074] As a second embodiment, the first module is a shell 1 of the automatic cleaning device, and the second module is a cleaning module of the automatic cleaning device.

The second contact structure 4 is arranged on the end face of the side brush shaft, and the second contact structure 4 can be a conductive coating, that is, sprayed on the end face of the side brush shaft. The first contact structure 2 is arranged on the slot wall of the second assembly slot and is arranged opposite to the end face of the side brush shaft where the second contact structure 4 is arranged, so as to realize abutting and forming a first loop.

The first contact structure 2 is arranged on the slot wall of the second assembly slot and is arranged opposite to the end face of the side brush shaft where the second contact structure 4 is arranged, so as to realize abutting and forming a first loop.

[0081] The second aspect of the embodiment provides an automatic cleaning system, including a base station and an automatic cleaning device as described above, wherein the automatic cleaning device is adapted to be docked on the base station.

[0082] The base station includes a station body, a third module and a second detection member, the station body is provided with a third contact structure, the third module is provided with a fourth contact structure, when the third module is connected with the station body, the third contact structure and the fourth contact structure abut to form a second loop, so as to trigger the second detection member on the second loop.

[0083] The second circuit is formed by fitting the third contact structure on the station body with the fourth contact structure on the third module, and the second detection member is triggered by the second circuit to determine the installation condition. The contact detection method is more direct and stable, and can more accurately determine whether the third module and the station body are installed in place, effectively reducing the false triggering condition, ensuring the normal operation of the automatic cleaning equipment, and improving the user experience. Moreover, the overall structure formed by the third contact structure, the fourth contact structure and the second detection member is relatively simple, thereby reducing the production cost, saving cost in mass production of automatic cleaning equipment, and improving product competitiveness.

[0084] The third module is a module that has a cooperation relationship with the station body, and can be detached from the station body or installed on the station body.

If it is not conductive, it is determined that the station body and the third module are not assembled in place.

[0087] Specifically, the second detection member can be a control mainboard of the automatic cleaning equipment.

[0088] The third contact structure and the first contact structure 2 have the same structure, and the fourth contact structure and the second contact structure 4 also have the same structure and the same technical effect, so the third contact structure and the fourth contact structure will not be described here.
