Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-6 A dust collection mechanism for a floor cleaning robot includes: a floor cleaning robot and a base station 1. The floor cleaning robot is equipped with a fan assembly and a dust box structure. The base station 1 has a bottom groove 12 on its inner side, which fits into the floor cleaning robot. A dust collection bucket 13 is connected to the inner side of the base station 1. A dust collection component is installed inside the base station 1 and is located at the rear of the dust collection bucket 13.

[0027] The fan assembly includes a dust collection trough 21, with a fan 22 fixedly connected to the back of the dust collection trough 21.

Several springs 19 are fixedly connected between the lower cover plate 18 and the dust collection bin 13. During the upward movement of the transmission box 16, the lower cover plate 18 will be lifted and rotated upward. When the transmission box 16 moves to a certain height, the lower cover plate 18 will return to its original position under the reaction force of the springs 19. At this time, the lower cover plate 18 and the side plate 17 will provide a limiting function for the transmission box 16. A transmission shaft 111 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the through slot 14. A brush 112 is fixedly connected to the side of 11. By setting the dust collection component on the back of the dust collection box 3, when the floor cleaning robot is sent back to the base station, the floor cleaning robot can control the baffle 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the connection between the dust collection box 3 and the dust collection component. At this time, the fan 22 is controlled to generate negative pressure, which sends the dust into the moving transmission box 16. Then, the transmission box 16 is moved to the back of the through groove 14 on the back of the dust collection bucket 13 by the conveyor 15. Then, the brush 112 is driven by the drive shaft 111 to scrape the dust in the transmission box 16 into the dust collection bucket 13.

[0031] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0032] By setting up the fan assembly and dust box structure, after the floor cleaning robot sweeps the dust on the ground, the fan 22 can be started to generate negative pressure, which will then draw the dust from the dust collection trough 21 into the intermediate transfer box 23, and then transfer it to the dust storage box 3.

[0033] By setting the dust collection component on the back of the dust collection box 3, when the floor cleaning robot returns to the base station, the floor cleaning robot can control the baffle 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the connection between the dust collection box 3 and the dust collection component. At this time, the fan 22 is controlled to generate negative pressure, which sends the dust into the moving transmission box 16. Then, the transmission box 16 is moved to the back of the through groove 14 on the back of the dust collection bucket 13 by the conveyor 15. Then, the brush 112 is driven by the drive shaft 111 to scrape the dust in the transmission box 16 into the dust collection bucket 13.
