[0102] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0103] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0104] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0105] like Figures 1 to 22 As shown, a cleaning device is provided according to a first aspect of the present application, comprising: a cleaning device body 110, the cleaning device body 110 including a housing 111; a mounting plate 120 having a positioning hole 121 and an assembly hole 122 formed thereon; a gripping assembly 130, the mounting plate 120 being connected to the gripping assembly 130; a positioning member 140, the positioning member 140 being connected to the housing 111 and used for positioning through the positioning hole 121; and a fastener 150, the fastener 150 being connected to the housing 111 and the gripping assembly 130 through the assembly hole 122; wherein the contour of the positioning hole 121 is adapted to the contour of the positioning member 140.

[0106] The cleaning device provided in this application includes a cleaning device body 110, a mounting plate 120, a gripping component 130, a positioning component 140, and a fastener 150. The cleaning device body 110 includes a housing 111. Based on this, when assembling the cleaning device, the mounting plate 120 is connected to the gripping component 130. During the assembly process, the entire assembly formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 can be assembled onto the cleaning device body 110. In the initial stage of assembly, the positioning component 140 on the mounting plate 120 can be aligned with the positioning hole 121 to position the entire assembly formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 onto the housing 111, thus completing the initial positioning of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120. Afterward, the fastener 150 can be connected to the gripping component 130 through the housing 111 and the assembly hole 122, thereby fixing the gripping component 130 and completing the assembly of the cleaning device.

[0107] The cleaning device provided in this application embodiment, through the arrangement of the mounting plate 120, the positioning element 140, and the fastener 150, achieves several advantages. First, it ensures that the gripping component 130 can be positioned at least by the positioning element 140 and the fastener 150, making the fixation of the gripping component 130 more reliable. Second, during assembly, the positioning holes 121 on the mounting plate 120 and the positioning element 140 can be used to achieve preliminary positioning of the gripping component 130, improving assembly efficiency. Third, the mounting plate 120 increases the contact area between the mounting plate 120 and the gripping component 130 and the bottom plate of the housing 111, reducing the gap between the gripping component 130 and the housing 111 and limiting the amplitude of the gripping component 130's sway. Combined with the positioning element 140 and the fastener 150, this further enhances the reliability of the gripping component 130's fixation.

[0108] The cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has a gripping component 130 that can be stored within the compartment 113 when in the retracted state. This lowers the center of gravity of the cleaning device, bringing it within the housing 111 and making its movement more stable. The lowered center of gravity makes the cleaning device less prone to tipping over or becoming unbalanced during cleaning, especially when encountering complex terrain such as slopes or carpet edges, maintaining more stable movement and thus improving cleaning efficiency and safety. It also allows the cleaning device to more easily approach the ground, more effectively removing dust, hair, and debris. Especially for hard-to-clean areas such as the bottom of low furniture or corners, the low center of gravity allows for deeper cleaning, leaving no blind spots. This makes the cleaning device more stable during movement, less prone to shifting or becoming uncontrollable due to external forces. Furthermore, the cleaning device is more flexible when turning or climbing slopes, easily handling various complex environments.

[0109] It is understood that the positioning member 140 can be a protrusion or protrusion formed on the housing 111, and the contour of the positioning hole 121 is adapted to the contour of the positioning member 140, and the positioning hole 121 is slightly larger than the positioning member 140, so that the positioning member 140 can be inserted into the positioning hole 121. After the positioning member 140 is inserted into the positioning hole 121, the swing of the mounting plate 120 based on the gripping component 130 can be restricted.

[0110] It is understood that fastener 150 may include any structure capable of connecting different objects, such as bolts, screws, rivets, clamps, expansion bolts, etc.

[0111] It is understandable that when fastener 150 is assembled, fastener 150 can pass through housing 111 on the side opposite to gripping assembly 130, then through mounting hole 122, and finally connect to gripping assembly 130. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of fastener 150 and allows for greater operating space at the bottom of housing 111. Furthermore, it makes the connection between housing 111, mounting plate 120, and gripping assembly 130 more reliable.

[0112] It is understandable that the area corresponding to the gripping component 130 and the mounting hole 122 can also form a mounting part, and the fastener 150 can be adapted to the mounting part so that the fastener 150 can be connected to the gripping component 130. For example, if the fastener 150 is a bolt, the mounting part can be a screw hole.

[0113] It is understood that the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment may include, but is not limited to, a machine body, a cleaning system, and a drive system. These systems coordinate with each other to enable the cleaning equipment to move autonomously to perform its cleaning function. The functional components constituting these systems are integrated within the housing 111. It is understood that the cleaning equipment can be a self-moving cleaning device, which is a device that automatically performs cleaning operations in a designated area without user intervention.

[0114] In some examples, the cleaning equipment may also include a door 230 that is hinged to the housing 111. The door 230 can cover the compartment 113, thereby reducing the probability of debris entering the compartment 113.

[0115] Furthermore, the gripping component 130 is applied to the cleaning equipment. For example, the gripping component 130 is connected to the housing 111 of the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment, so that the gripping component 130 can move with the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment to reach the target position. Thus, the movement of the gripping component 130 enables the gripping or movement of obstacles, objects, and debris near the cleaning equipment, thereby better realizing the autonomous cleaning function. It is understood that the aforementioned objects can also be objects required by the user, such as remote controls, apples, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0116] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible implementation, there are two or more positioning holes 121, and the number of positioning elements 140 is adapted to the number of positioning holes 121.

[0117] In this technical solution, the number of positioning holes 121 is further provided. There can be two or more positioning holes 121, and the number of positioning elements 140 can be equal to the number of positioning holes 121. Based on this, the whole formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 can be limited by two or more sets of positioning holes 121 and positioning elements 140, which can make the positioning of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 more reliable, and enable the positioning elements 140 to limit the swing amplitude of the gripping component 130, and also limit the movement of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 in the plane.

[0118] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, at least two positioning holes 121 are respectively distributed at both ends of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement allows for a sufficiently large distance between the two positioning holes 121, ensuring the machining accuracy of the positioning holes 121, especially suppressing the angular error between the two positioning holes 121, and avoiding the impact on the assembly accuracy of the gripping component 130 due to excessive angular error between the two positioning holes 121. At the same time, it ensures the perpendicularity of the machining of the positioning holes 121, enabling the positioning component 140 and the positioning holes 121 to better position the gripping component 130, ensuring a more standardized installation of the gripping component 130. In addition, by increasing the distance between the two positioning holes 121, both ends of the mounting plate 120 can have a positioning relationship with the housing 111, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the mounting plate 120.

[0119] Understandably, assuming the plane where the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment is located is the XY-axis plane, the height direction of the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment is the Z-direction. The gripping component 130 can be raised and lowered in the Z-direction to grip items. The fixing method in the traditional technology causes the gripping component 130 to easily wobble in the Z-direction. The wobble of the gripping component 130 in the Z-direction can be suppressed by using the combination of positioning component 140 and fastener 150. Furthermore, by setting multiple positioning components 140 and positioning holes 121, the movement of the mounting plate 120 and the gripping component 130 in the XY-axis plane can be further suppressed, making the fixing of the gripping component 130 more reliable, preventing the gripping component 130 from tipping over, and reducing the noise generated when the cleaning equipment is working.

[0120] In some examples, considering the size of the cleaning device body 110, two positioning holes 121 can be provided, with the two positioning holes 121 respectively arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 120, which facilitates the processing of the mounting plate 120.

[0121] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 is greater than or equal to 50 mm.

[0122] In this technical solution, when there are two or more positioning holes 121, the positional relationship between different positioning holes 121 is further provided. The distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 is greater than or equal to 50mm. This setting allows for a sufficiently large distance between the two positioning holes 121, ensuring the machining accuracy of the positioning holes 121, especially suppressing the angular error between the two positioning holes 121, and avoiding the impact on the assembly accuracy of the gripping component 130 due to excessive angular error between the two positioning holes 121. At the same time, it ensures the perpendicularity of the machining of the positioning holes 121, enabling the positioning component 140 and the positioning holes 121 to better position the gripping component 130, ensuring that the gripping component 130 is installed more standardly. In addition, by increasing the distance between the two positioning holes 121, both ends of the mounting plate 120 can have a positioning relationship with the housing 111, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the mounting plate 120.

[0123] In some examples, in order to further improve the machining accuracy of the positioning hole 121, the distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 can be greater than or equal to 80 mm.

[0124] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the different positioning elements 140 have different patterns or different diameters.

[0125] In this technical solution, when there are two or more positioning elements 140, the different positioning elements 140 have different styles or diameters. This is because, in the initial stage of assembling the cleaning equipment, the positioning elements 140 on the mounting plate 120 can be aligned with the positioning holes 121. However, if there are multiple positioning holes 121, then the positioning holes 121 need to be aligned with the corresponding positioning elements 140 at the same time. The alignment process is relatively complicated and difficult to operate. Based on this, in this embodiment, the different positioning elements 140 have different styles or diameters. During assembly, the assembly direction of the mounting plate 120 can be directly determined based on the style or size of the positioning elements 140, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0126] In some examples, in order to reduce processing costs, the differences between different positioning elements 140 and positioning holes 121 may only be reflected in the difference in size. For example, positioning element 140 may be a positioning pin, and the differences between different positioning holes 121 and positioning elements 140 may be different in diameter.

[0127] It is understandable that the differences in style among the positioning elements 140 may include different cross-sectional shapes of the positioning elements 140. For example, some positioning elements 140 may be waist-shaped positioning pins, while others may be columnar positioning pins. Alternatively, some positioning elements 140 may be positioning pins, while others may be protruding or block-shaped structures.

[0128] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the gripping component 130 includes: a robotic arm 131, a clearance portion 123 formed on the mounting plate 120, and the turntable of the robotic arm 131 is located within the clearance portion 123.

[0129] In this technical solution, a further design for the gripping component 130 is provided. The gripping component 130 may include a robotic arm 131, and the design of the mounting plate 120 can be adapted to the robotic arm 131. A clearance portion 123 can be formed on the mounting plate 120. With this configuration, the robotic arm 131 can rotate using the space of the clearance portion 123. Combined with the extension and retraction of the robotic arm 131, the movable space of the robotic arm 131 can be increased. The robotic arm 131 can grip objects. For example, when an object is in front of the direction of travel of the cleaning equipment, the robotic arm 131 can grip the obstacle and move the obstacle to other areas that do not hinder the normal operation of the cleaning equipment, making the operation of the cleaning equipment smoother.

[0130] In this technical solution, a clearance portion 123 is formed on the mounting plate 120. The robotic arm 131 can be assembled using the clearance portion 123, which can reduce the assembly height of the robotic arm 131 and lower the center of gravity of the robotic arm 131. This can further reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 tipping over and make the cleaning equipment safer to operate.

[0131] It is understandable that the turntable is a component that allows the robotic arm 131 to rotate relative to the housing 111, and this arrangement can increase the working range of the robotic arm 131.

[0132] In one feasible implementation, the mounting plate 120 has a thickness of 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0133] In this technical solution, a mounting plate 120 is further provided, with a thickness of 2mm to 5mm. This design ensures the stable fixation of the gripping component 130 while minimizing the thickness of the mounting plate 120, thereby reducing the assembly depth of the gripping component 130. On the one hand, a larger robotic arm 131 can be installed in the same space, making it easier for the gripping component 130 to grasp objects. On the other hand, it lowers the center of gravity of the gripping component 130, especially when the gripping component 130 is in the retracted state, as it can be stored inside the housing 111, making the movement of the cleaning equipment more stable. Furthermore, it reduces the weight of the cleaning equipment, thereby reducing energy consumption during movement.

[0134] In some examples, the mounting plate 120 may be made of steel to ensure the mechanical strength of the mounting plate 120.

[0135] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, there are two or more mounting holes 122, and the number of fasteners 150 is adapted to the number of mounting holes 122.

[0136] In this technical solution, the number of mounting holes 122 is further provided. There are two or more mounting holes 122, and the number of fasteners 150 can be equal to the number of mounting holes 122. Based on this, the gripping component 130 and the housing 111 can have multiple connection positions, so that the fixing strength of the gripper component can be further improved and the probability of the gripper component loosening can be further reduced.

[0137] It is understandable that there can be two or more assembly holes 122 and positioning holes 121, which makes the gripper assembly more reliably fixed.

[0138] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the plurality of mounting holes 122 are divided into two groups and arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement, firstly, allows for multiple connection points between the mounting plate 120 and the housing 111, and the forces at these connection points are more evenly distributed, further ensuring the reliability of the gripping component 130's fixation; secondly, it facilitates the opening of the mounting holes 122, simplifying the processing technology of the mounting plate 120 and facilitating its assembly.

[0139] like Figure 7 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a rivet 160, which is disposed within the mounting hole 122, and a fastener 150 passes through the mounting hole within the rivet 160.

[0140] In this technical solution, the cleaning equipment may also include a press-fit component 160. This is because, in order to lower the installation center of gravity of the gripping assembly 130, the thickness of the mounting plate 120 should be as thin as possible while still meeting mechanical strength requirements. However, as the thickness of the mounting plate 120 decreases, the depth of the mounting hole 122 on the mounting plate 120 will inevitably decrease, which may reduce the fixing strength of the fastener 150. Based on this, in this embodiment, a press-fit component 160 can be provided at the mounting hole 122, and a mounting hole is formed within the press-fit component 160. Based on this, the fastener 150 can be connected to the gripping assembly 130 by passing through the mounting hole. By setting up the press-fit machine, the height can be increased, thereby improving the fixing strength of the fastener 150.

[0141] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a reinforcing rib 112 is formed on the housing 111, and a groove 124 is formed on the periphery of the mounting plate 120, with at least a portion of the reinforcing rib 112 located within the groove 124.

[0142] In this technical solution, the design of the housing 111 is further provided. Considering that to ensure mechanical strength during installation, the mounting plate 120 is typically made of a high-strength material, such as steel or other metal, while the main body of the cleaning equipment is usually made of resin to reduce its weight, the housing 111 has lower mechanical strength and is susceptible to deformation. Deformation of the housing 111 would also affect the fixing strength of the gripping assembly 130. Therefore, in this embodiment, the shape of the mounting plate 120 and the design of the housing 111 are designed. A groove 124 can be formed on the mounting plate 120, and a reinforcing rib 112 can be formed on the housing 111. When the mounting plate 120 is assembled onto the housing 111, the reinforcing rib 112 is inserted into the groove 124, increasing the strength of the housing 111 and the contact area between the housing 111 and the mounting plate 120, thereby making the fixing of the gripping assembly 130 more reliable.

[0143] In some examples, there are multiple grooves 124, which are arranged at intervals and distributed around the periphery of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement allows for the formation of more reinforcing ribs 112 on the housing 111 by using multiple grooves 124, thereby further improving strength. On the other hand, the distribution of the grooves 124 around the periphery of the mounting plate 120 facilitates the insertion of the reinforcing ribs 112 into the grooves 124.

[0144] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a compartment 113 is formed on the housing 111, and a mounting plate 120 is disposed in the compartment 113, the mounting plate 120 abutting against the wall of the compartment 113.

[0145] In this technical solution, a housing 111 is further provided, on which a compartment 113 can be formed. A mounting plate 120 is used to be installed within the compartment 113, and the mounting plate 120 abuts against the wall of the compartment 113. This arrangement allows the mounting plate 120 to be fixed and limited by the wall of the compartment 113, making the assembly of the mounting plate 120 more secure. At the same time, the compartment 113 can accommodate the gripping component 130, which can improve the overall integrity of the product and make the structural layout of the cleaning equipment more reasonable.

[0146] It is understandable that the mounting plate 120 abuts against the wall of the compartment 113, including the mounting plate 120 abutting against the bottom plate of the housing 111 and the mounting plate 120 abutting against the side wall of the compartment 113.

[0147] In one feasible implementation, the mounting plate 120 is connected to the base plate of the housing 111. This arrangement can reduce the installation height and center of gravity of the gripping component 130, making the cleaning equipment body 110 operate more stably, and allowing the gripping component 130 to be completely stored inside the housing 111 when it is stored.

[0148] like Figure 16 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device body 110 includes: a functional component 170 disposed within the housing 111, and a gripping assembly 130 connected to the functional component 170; the functional component 170 includes a power supply and / or a controller.

[0149] In this technical solution, the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment may also include a functional component 170, which is connected to the gripping component 130. Based on this functional component 170, the gripping component 130 can be powered on and its operation can be controlled, making the use of the gripping component 130 more convenient.

[0150] like Figures 9 to 22 As shown, in one possible implementation, the cleaning device further includes: a channel 180, the channel 180 being connected to a functional component 170, the open end of the channel 180 being connected to a compartment 113, and a cable 132 of a gripping component 130 passing through the channel 180 and connected to the functional component.

[0151] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in this technical solution, considering that the gripping component 130 requires connection and fixation on the mechanical structure, and the robotic arm 131 may also involve power-on or communication control, the power-on or communication connection of the gripping component 130 in traditional technology is also quite cumbersome. In a feasible implementation, the cleaning equipment may further include a channel 180 located at the compartment 113 leading to the functional component 170. Based on this, the cable 132 of the gripping component 130 can pass through the channel 180 and connect to the functional component 170, thereby completing the rapid assembly of the electrical and communication connections of the gripping component 130 and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0152] It is understandable that the end of the cable 132 can be formed with a plug, and the channel 180 can be formed with a socket. The plug can be directly inserted into the socket to establish a quick connection between the plug and the channel 180, making the electrical and communication connections of the gripping component 130 more convenient.

[0153] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning equipment further includes a limiting member 190, which is connected to the inner wall of the compartment 113 or formed on the inner wall of the compartment 113, and the limiting member 190 is used to limit the cable 132.

[0154] In this technical solution, considering that the gripping component 130 needs to move, such as involving extension, retraction, rotation, or swinging, the movement of the gripping component 130 may cause the cable 132 to shift or the gripping component 130 to easily scratch the cable 132. Based on this, the cleaning device may also include a limiting component 190. The limiting component 190 can limit the cable 132 to prevent the cable 132 from moving unexpectedly, and can reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 contacting or scratching the cable 132, making the communication and electrical connections of the gripping component 130 more reliable.

[0155] In some examples, the number of limiting members 190 can be multiple, and the multiple limiting members 190 are arranged at intervals along the arrangement direction of the cable 132, which can further improve the limiting effect of the cable 132.

[0156] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one possible implementation, a fixing groove 200 is formed in the compartment 113 for accommodating the cable 132, and the limiting member 190 is located above or inside the fixing groove 200.

[0157] In this technical solution, considering that if the cable 132 of the gripping component 130 is directly placed inside the compartment 113, there is still a probability that the gripping component 130 will rub against the cable 132, especially when the gripping component 130 is in the storage state, the gripping component 130 is particularly prone to pressing on the cable 132, which can easily damage the cable 132. Based on this, by forming a fixing groove 200 inside the compartment 113, the cable 132 can be placed inside the fixing groove 200, which can greatly reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 contacting the cable 132. At the same time, by forming the fixing groove 200, the inner wall of the fixing groove 200 can also limit the cable 132, which can further reduce the probability of the cable 132 moving around.

[0158] Furthermore, the limiting member 190 can be formed on the inner wall of the fixing groove 200. This design prevents the limiting member 190 from excessively occupying space in the compartment 113, or in other words, prevents it from protruding within the compartment 113. The limiting member 190 does not obstruct the storage of the gripping component 130, allowing for a reduction in the height of the cleaning equipment. This results in a more compact structural layout. The lower height allows for easier access to low-lying areas, such as under sofas and beds, areas often difficult for traditional cleaning tools to reach. A lower-height cleaning device can more effectively remove dust and dirt from these areas, thus improving overall cleaning coverage. The reduced height also means a shorter distance between the bottom of the cleaning device and the ground, allowing for a closer fit to the floor. This close fit enhances cleaning effectiveness, especially for stubborn stains and small particles attached to the floor. Lower-height cleaning devices typically offer greater flexibility, easily navigating between furniture and avoiding collisions. This flexibility not only helps improve cleaning efficiency but also reduces the risk of damage to cleaning equipment during operation. For users, low-profile cleaning equipment is easier to store and doesn't take up much space. Low-profile cleaning equipment typically has lower noise levels because it makes closer contact with the ground during operation, reducing vibration and noise. Low-profile cleaning equipment is suitable for a wider range of cleaning scenarios, such as homes, offices, and shopping malls. Especially in places with high cleaning requirements, such as hospitals and laboratories, low-profile cleaning equipment can more effectively meet cleaning needs.

[0159] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning equipment further includes a cover plate 210, which is connected to the inner wall of the compartment 113 and is used to cover the cable 132, the limiting member 190 and the fixing groove 200.

[0160] In this technical solution, the cleaning equipment may also include a cover plate 210, which is connected to the compartment 113. The cover plate 210 can cover the fixing groove 200, thereby covering the cable 132, the limiting member 190, and the channel 180. This makes the appearance of the compartment 113 cleaner, reduces the amount of dust entering the fixing groove 200 and the channel 180, and further reduces the probability of the gripping component 130 coming into contact with the cable 132. This makes the use of the cleaning equipment safer, especially the operation of the gripping component 130.

[0161] In some examples, the cover plate 210 can be connected to the compartment 113 by snap-fit ​​or bolt, which makes the connection stronger and easier to disassemble.

[0162] In one feasible implementation, there are multiple cover plates 210, which are snapped onto the inner wall of the compartment 113 and are also used to cover the passage 180.

[0163] In this technical solution, the number of cover plates 210 is further provided. There can be two or more cover plates 210. Based on this, by setting multiple cover plates 210, it is convenient to cover the narrow and long fixing groove 200, convenient to assemble the cover plates 210, and convenient to seal the channel 180, so that the compartment 113 of the cleaning equipment can be cleaner and safer.

[0164] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 is elongated, which facilitates the processing and installation of the mounting plate 120 and allows for a larger contact area with the gripping component 130, thereby improving the installation strength.

[0165] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 has a length of 120mm to 200mm, a width of 25mm to 50mm, and a thickness of 2mm to 5mm. This arrangement further provides the dimensions of the mounting plate 120, making it flat, which facilitates the processing and installation of the mounting plate 120, and allows for a larger contact area with the gripping assembly 130, thereby improving the installation strength.

[0166] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning equipment body 110. That is, the length of the mounting plate 120 is installed in the left-right direction of the front of the cleaning equipment body 110. This arrangement is beneficial for spatial layout and compact structure, and also facilitates the fixation of the gripping component 130. At the same time, the gripping component 130 is fixed to the front of the cleaning equipment body 110. The gripping component 130 mainly operates on the area in front of the cleaning equipment body 110, with a larger range of motion and more convenient gripping of items.

[0167] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, a cleaning device is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a cleaning device body 110, the cleaning device body 110 including a housing 111, the housing 111 having a compartment 113 formed thereon; a gripping component 130, the gripping component 130 being connected to the compartment 113 via a connecting component, so that the gripping component 130 is connected to the housing 111; wherein, when the gripping component 130 is in a retracted state, it is retracted within the compartment 113.

[0168] The cleaning device provided in the second aspect of this application includes a main body 110 and a gripping component 130. A compartment 113 is formed on the housing 111. The gripping component 130 can be connected to the compartment 113 via a connecting component. Based on this, the assembly efficiency of the gripping component 130 can be improved through the configuration of the compartment 113 and the connecting component. Simultaneously, when in the retracted state, the gripping component 130 can be stored within the compartment 113, lowering the center of gravity of the cleaning device. This lowers the center of gravity of the gripping component 130 within the housing 111, making the movement of the cleaning device more stable. The lower overall center of gravity of the cleaning device makes it less prone to tipping over or becoming unbalanced during cleaning, especially when encountering complex terrain such as slopes and carpet edges, maintaining more stable movement performance, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and safety. It also makes the cleaning device easier to approach the ground, thus more effectively removing dust, hair, and debris. Especially for hard-to-clean areas such as the bottom of low furniture and corners, the low center of gravity allows for deeper cleaning, leaving no blind spots. This makes the cleaning equipment more stable during movement, less prone to shifting or going out of control due to external forces. At the same time, the cleaning equipment is more flexible when turning, climbing slopes, and other maneuvers, easily handling various complex environments.

[0169] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the connecting assembly includes: a mounting plate 120 having a positioning hole 121 formed thereon; and a positioning member 140 connected to the housing 111, the positioning member 140 being used to position the gripping assembly 130 through the positioning hole 121.

[0170] In this technical solution, a structural composition of the connecting component is further provided. The connecting component may include a mounting plate 120 and a positioning element 140. Based on this, when the cleaning equipment is assembled, the mounting plate 120 is connected to the gripping component 130. During the assembly process, the entire assembly formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 can be assembled onto the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment. In the initial stage of assembly, the positioning element 140 on the mounting plate 120 can be aligned with the positioning hole 121, and the entire assembly formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 can be positioned onto the housing 111, completing the initial positioning of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the gripping component 130.

[0171] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a fastener 150, on which a mounting plate 120 has a mounting hole 122, the fastener 150 being used to connect to the housing 111 and the gripping assembly 130 through the mounting hole 122.

[0172] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the cleaning equipment is further provided. The cleaning equipment may include fasteners to complete the initial positioning of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120. Then, the fasteners 150 can be connected to the gripping component 130 through the housing 111 and the assembly hole 122. Based on this, the gripping component 130 can be fixed and the cleaning equipment can be assembled.

[0173] In this technical solution, the cleaning equipment, through the installation of the mounting plate 120, the positioning element 140, and the fastener 150, achieves several advantages. First, it ensures that the gripping component 130 can be positioned using the positioning element 140 and the fastener 150, making the gripping component 130 more reliably fixed. Second, during assembly, the positioning holes 121 on the mounting plate 120 and the positioning element 140 can be used to achieve initial positioning of the gripping component 130, improving assembly efficiency. Third, the mounting plate 120 increases the contact area between the mounting plate 120 and the gripping component 130 and the bottom plate of the housing 111, reducing the gap between the gripping component 130 and the housing 111 and limiting the amplitude of the gripping component 130's sway. Combined with the positioning element 140 and the fastener 150, this further enhances the reliability of the gripping component 130's fixation.

[0174] like Figure 17 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a thickening member 220, which is disposed at the mounting hole 122 through which the mounting hole 122 passes.

[0175] In this technical solution, the cleaning equipment may also include a thickening member 220. This is because, in order to lower the installation center of gravity of the gripping component 130, the thickness of the mounting plate 120 should be as thin as possible while still meeting mechanical strength requirements. However, as the thickness of the mounting plate 120 decreases, the depth of the mounting hole 122 on the mounting plate 120 will inevitably decrease, which may reduce the fixing strength of the fastener 150. Based on this, in this embodiment, a thickening member can be provided at the mounting hole 122, and a mounting hole is formed within the thickening member. Based on this, the fastener 150 can be connected to the gripping component 130 by passing through the mounting hole. By using a riveting machine, the height can be increased, thereby improving the fixing strength of the fastener 150.

[0176] like Figure 16 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device body 110 includes: a functional component 170 disposed within the housing 111, and a gripping assembly 130 connected to the functional component 170; the functional component 170 includes a power supply or a controller.

[0177] In this technical solution, the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment may also include a functional component 170, which is connected to the gripping component 130. Based on this functional component 170, the gripping component 130 can be powered on and its operation can be controlled, making the use of the gripping component 130 more convenient.

[0178] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning device further includes: a channel 180, a compartment 113 formed on the housing 111, a mounting plate 120 for being disposed in the compartment 113, the mounting plate 120 abutting against the wall of the compartment 113, the channel 180 being connected to the functional component 170, the open end of the channel 180 being connected to the compartment 113, and a cable 132 of the gripping component 130 passing through the channel 180 and connected to the functional component 170.

[0179] In this technical solution, considering that in addition to the mechanical connection and fixation required for the gripping component 130, the robotic arm 131 may also involve power-on or communication control, the power-on or communication connection of the gripping component 130 in traditional technologies is also quite cumbersome. In a feasible implementation, the cleaning equipment may further include a channel 180 connecting to the compartment 113. Based on this, the cable 132 of the gripping component 130 can pass through the channel 180 to connect to the functional device, thereby completing the rapid assembly of the electrical and communication connections of the gripping component 130 and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0180] It is understandable that the end of the cable 132 can be formed with a plug, and the channel 180 can be formed with a socket. The plug can be directly inserted into the socket to establish a quick connection between the plug and the channel 180, making the electrical and communication connections of the gripping component 130 more convenient.

[0181] In this technical solution, a housing 111 is further provided, on which a compartment 113 can be formed. A mounting plate 120 is used to be installed within the compartment 113, and the mounting plate 120 abuts against the wall of the compartment 113. This arrangement allows the mounting plate 120 to be fixed and limited by the wall of the compartment 113, making the assembly of the mounting plate 120 more secure. At the same time, the compartment 113 can accommodate the gripping component 130, which can improve the overall integrity of the product and make the structural layout of the cleaning equipment more reasonable.

[0182] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning equipment further includes a limiting member 190, which is connected to the inner wall of the compartment 113 or formed on the inner wall of the compartment 113, and the limiting member 190 is used to limit the cable 132.

[0183] In this technical solution, considering that the gripping component 130 needs to move, such as involving extension, retraction, rotation, or swinging, the movement of the gripping component 130 may cause the cable 132 to shift or the gripping component 130 to easily scratch the cable 132. Based on this, the cleaning device may also include a limiting component 190. The limiting component 190 can limit the cable 132 to prevent the cable 132 from moving unexpectedly, and can reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 contacting or scratching the cable 132, making the communication and electrical connections of the gripping component 130 more reliable.

[0184] In some examples, the number of limiting members 190 can be multiple, and the multiple limiting members 190 are arranged at intervals along the arrangement direction of the cable 132, which can further improve the limiting effect of the cable 132.

[0185] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one possible implementation, a fixing groove 200 is formed in the compartment 113 for accommodating the cable 132, and the limiting member 190 is located above or inside the fixing groove 200.

[0186] In this technical solution, considering that if the cable 132 of the gripping component 130 is directly placed inside the compartment 113, there is still a probability that the gripping component 130 will rub against the cable 132, especially when the gripping component 130 is in the storage state, the gripping component 130 is particularly prone to pressing on the cable 132, which can easily damage the cable 132. Based on this, by forming a fixing groove 200 inside the compartment 113, the cable 132 can be placed inside the fixing groove 200, which can greatly reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 contacting the cable 132. At the same time, by forming the fixing groove 200, the inner wall of the fixing groove 200 can also limit the cable 132, which can further reduce the probability of the cable 132 moving around.

[0187] Furthermore, the limiting member 190 can be formed on the inner wall of the fixing groove 200. This design prevents the limiting member 190 from excessively occupying space in the compartment 113, or in other words, prevents it from protruding within the compartment 113. The limiting member 190 does not obstruct the storage of the gripping component 130, allowing for a reduction in the height of the cleaning equipment. This results in a more compact structural layout. The lower height allows for easier access to low-lying areas, such as under sofas and beds, areas often difficult for traditional cleaning tools to reach. A lower-height cleaning device can more effectively remove dust and dirt from these areas, thus improving overall cleaning coverage. The reduced height also means a shorter distance between the bottom of the cleaning device and the ground, allowing for a closer fit to the floor. This close fit enhances cleaning effectiveness, especially for stubborn stains and small particles attached to the floor.

Low-profile cleaning equipment is suitable for a wider range of cleaning scenarios, such as homes, offices, and shopping malls. Especially in places with high cleaning requirements, such as hospitals and laboratories, low-profile cleaning equipment can more effectively meet cleaning needs.

[0188] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning equipment further includes a cover plate 210, which is connected to the inner wall of the compartment 113 and is used to cover the cable 132 and for limiting.

[0189] In this technical solution, the cleaning equipment may also include a cover plate 210, which is connected to the compartment 113. The cover plate 210 can cover the fixing groove 200, thereby covering the cable 132, the limiting member 190, and the channel 180. This makes the appearance of the compartment 113 cleaner, reduces the amount of dust entering the fixing groove 200 and the channel 180, and further reduces the probability of the gripping component 130 coming into contact with the cable 132. This makes the use of the cleaning equipment safer, especially the operation of the gripping component 130.

[0190] In some examples, the cover plate 210 can be connected to the compartment 113 by snap-fit ​​or bolt, which makes the connection stronger and easier to disassemble.

[0191] like Figures 9 to 15As shown, in one feasible implementation, there are multiple cover plates 210, which are snapped onto the inner wall of the compartment 113 and are also used to cover the passage 180.

[0192] In this technical solution, the number of cover plates 210 is further provided. There can be two or more cover plates 210. Based on this, by setting multiple cover plates 210, it is convenient to cover the narrow and long fixing groove 200, convenient to assemble the cover plates 210, and convenient to seal the channel 180, so that the compartment 113 of the cleaning equipment can be cleaner and safer.

[0193] like Figures 9 to 15 As shown, in one possible implementation, the compartment 113 is arranged along the width direction of the cleaning equipment body 110, and the channel 180 is arranged at or near the end of the compartment 113.

[0194] This technical solution further provides an arrangement of the compartments 113. The compartments 113 are arranged along the width of the housing 111. The cleaning equipment may include a traveling component, which may include a drive wheel and an auxiliary wheel. The drive wheel and auxiliary wheel form a support area. The compartments 113 on the housing 111 are formed within this support area. Based on this, with the gripping component 130 housed within the compartments 113, the center of gravity of the gripping component 130 can be distributed within the support area. This makes the cleaning equipment run more smoothly, making it less prone to tipping over or becoming unbalanced during cleaning, especially when encountering complex terrain such as slopes or carpet edges. It maintains more stable movement performance, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and safety. It also makes the cleaning equipment easier to approach the ground, thus more effectively removing dust, hair, and debris. Especially for hard-to-clean areas such as the bottom of low furniture and corners, the low center of gravity of the cleaning equipment allows for deeper cleaning, leaving no blind spots. Finally, it makes the cleaning equipment more stable during movement, less prone to shifting or becoming uncontrollable due to external forces. Meanwhile, the cleaning equipment is more flexible when turning and climbing, and can easily cope with various complex environments.

[0195] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 is elongated, which facilitates the processing and installation of the mounting plate 120 and allows for a larger contact area with the gripping component 130, thereby improving the installation strength.

[0196] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 has a length of 120mm to 200mm, a width of 25mm to 50mm, and a thickness of 2mm to 5mm. This arrangement further provides the dimensions of the mounting plate 120, making it flat, which facilitates the processing and installation of the mounting plate 120, and allows for a larger contact area with the gripping assembly 130, thereby improving the installation strength.

[0197] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the mounting plate 120 is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning equipment body 110. That is, the length of the mounting plate 120 is installed in the left-right direction of the front of the cleaning equipment body 110. This arrangement is beneficial for spatial layout and compact structure, and also facilitates the fixation of the gripping component 130. At the same time, the gripping component 130 is fixed to the front of the cleaning equipment body 110. The gripping component 130 mainly operates on the area in front of the cleaning equipment body 110, with a larger range of motion and more convenient gripping of items.

[0198] It is understood that the positioning member 140 can be a protrusion or protrusion formed on the housing 111, and the contour of the positioning hole 121 is adapted to the contour of the positioning member 140, and the positioning hole 121 is slightly larger than the positioning member 140, so that the positioning member 140 can be inserted into the positioning hole 121. After the positioning member 140 is inserted into the positioning hole 121, the swing of the mounting plate 120 based on the gripping component 130 can be restricted.

[0199] It is understood that fastener 150 may include any structure capable of connecting different objects, such as bolts, screws, rivets, clamps, expansion bolts, etc.

[0200] It is understandable that when fastener 150 is assembled, fastener 150 can pass through housing 111 on the side opposite to gripping assembly 130, then through mounting hole 122, and finally connect to gripping assembly 130. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of fastener 150 and allows for greater operating space at the bottom of housing 111. Furthermore, it makes the connection between housing 111, mounting plate 120, and gripping assembly 130 more reliable.

[0201] It is understandable that the area corresponding to the gripping component 130 and the mounting hole 122 can also form a mounting part, and the fastener 150 can be adapted to the mounting part so that the fastener 150 can be connected to the gripping component 130. For example, if the fastener 150 is a bolt, the mounting part can be a screw hole.

[0202] It is understood that the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment may include, but is not limited to, a machine body, a cleaning system, and a drive system. These systems coordinate with each other to enable the cleaning equipment to move autonomously to perform its cleaning function. The functional components constituting these systems are integrated within the housing 111. It is understood that the cleaning equipment can be a self-moving cleaning device, which is a device that automatically performs cleaning operations in a designated area without user intervention.

[0203] Furthermore, the gripping component 130 is applied to the cleaning equipment. For example, the gripping component 130 is connected to the housing 111 of the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment, so that the gripping component 130 can move with the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment to reach the target position. Thus, the movement of the gripping component 130 enables the gripping or movement of obstacles, objects, and debris near the cleaning equipment, thereby better realizing the autonomous cleaning function. It is understood that the aforementioned objects can also be objects required by the user, such as remote controls, apples, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0204] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible implementation, there are two or more positioning holes 121, and the number of positioning elements 140 is adapted to the number of positioning holes 121.

[0205] In this technical solution, the number of positioning holes 121 is further provided. There can be two or more positioning holes 121, and the number of positioning elements 140 can be equal to the number of positioning holes 121. Based on this, the whole formed by the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 can be limited by two or more sets of positioning holes 121 and positioning elements 140, which can make the positioning of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 more reliable, and enable the positioning elements 140 to limit the swing amplitude of the gripping component 130, and also limit the movement of the gripping component 130 and the mounting plate 120 in the plane.

[0206] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, at least two positioning holes 121 are respectively distributed at both ends of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement allows for a sufficiently large distance between the two positioning holes 121, ensuring the machining accuracy of the positioning holes 121, especially suppressing the angular error between the two positioning holes 121, and avoiding the impact on the assembly accuracy of the gripping component 130 due to excessive angular error between the two positioning holes 121. At the same time, it ensures the perpendicularity of the machining of the positioning holes 121, enabling the positioning component 140 and the positioning holes 121 to better position the gripping component 130, ensuring a more standardized installation of the gripping component 130. In addition, by increasing the distance between the two positioning holes 121, both ends of the mounting plate 120 can have a positioning relationship with the housing 111, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the mounting plate 120.

[0207] Understandably, assuming the plane where the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment is located is the XY-axis plane, the height direction of the main body 110 of the cleaning equipment is the Z-direction. The gripping component 130 can be raised and lowered in the Z-direction to grip items. The fixing method in the traditional technology causes the gripping component 130 to easily wobble in the Z-direction. The wobble of the gripping component 130 in the Z-direction can be suppressed by using the combination of positioning component 140 and fastener 150. Furthermore, by setting multiple positioning components 140 and positioning holes 121, the movement of the mounting plate 120 and the gripping component 130 in the XY-axis plane can be further suppressed, making the fixing of the gripping component 130 more reliable, preventing the gripping component 130 from tipping over, and reducing the noise generated when the cleaning equipment is working.

[0208] In some examples, considering the size of the cleaning device body 110, two positioning holes 121 can be provided, with the two positioning holes 121 respectively arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 120, which facilitates the processing of the mounting plate 120.

[0209] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 is greater than or equal to 50 mm.

[0210] In this technical solution, when there are two or more positioning holes 121, the positional relationship between different positioning holes 121 is further provided. The distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 is greater than or equal to 50mm. This setting allows for a sufficiently large distance between the two positioning holes 121, ensuring the machining accuracy of the positioning holes 121, especially suppressing the angular error between the two positioning holes 121, and avoiding the impact on the assembly accuracy of the gripping component 130 due to excessive angular error between the two positioning holes 121. At the same time, it ensures the perpendicularity of the machining of the positioning holes 121, enabling the positioning component 140 and the positioning holes 121 to better position the gripping component 130, ensuring that the gripping component 130 is installed more standardly. In addition, by increasing the distance between the two positioning holes 121, both ends of the mounting plate 120 can have a positioning relationship with the housing 111, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the mounting plate 120.

[0211] In some examples, in order to further improve the machining accuracy of the positioning hole 121, the distance between two adjacent positioning holes 121 can be greater than or equal to 80 mm.

[0212] like Figure 8 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the different positioning elements 140 have different patterns or different diameters.

[0213] In this technical solution, when there are two or more positioning elements 140, the different positioning elements 140 have different styles or diameters. This is because, in the initial stage of assembling the cleaning equipment, the positioning elements 140 on the mounting plate 120 can be aligned with the positioning holes 121. However, if there are multiple positioning holes 121, then the positioning holes 121 need to be aligned with the corresponding positioning elements 140 at the same time. The alignment process is relatively complicated and difficult to operate. Based on this, in this embodiment, the different positioning elements 140 have different styles or diameters. During assembly, the assembly direction of the mounting plate 120 can be directly determined based on the style or size of the positioning elements 140, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0214] In some examples, in order to reduce processing costs, the differences between different positioning elements 140 and positioning holes 121 may only be reflected in the difference in size. For example, positioning element 140 may be a positioning pin, and the differences between different positioning holes 121 and positioning elements 140 may be different in diameter.

[0215] It is understandable that the differences in style among the positioning elements 140 may include different cross-sectional shapes of the positioning elements 140. For example, some positioning elements 140 may be waist-shaped positioning pins, while others may be columnar positioning pins. Alternatively, some positioning elements 140 may be positioning pins, while others may be protruding or block-shaped structures.

[0216] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the gripping component 130 includes: a robotic arm 131, a clearance portion 123 formed on the mounting plate 120, and the turntable of the robotic arm 131 is located within the clearance portion 123.

[0217] In this technical solution, a further design for the gripping component 130 is provided. The gripping component 130 may include a robotic arm 131, and the design of the mounting plate 120 can be adapted to the robotic arm 131. A clearance portion 123 can be formed on the mounting plate 120. With this configuration, the robotic arm 131 can rotate using the space of the clearance portion 123. Combined with the extension and retraction of the robotic arm 131, the movable space of the robotic arm 131 can be increased. The robotic arm 131 can grip objects. For example, when an object is in front of the direction of travel of the cleaning equipment, the robotic arm 131 can grip the obstacle and move the obstacle to other areas that do not hinder the normal operation of the cleaning equipment, making the operation of the cleaning equipment smoother.

[0218] In this technical solution, a clearance portion 123 is formed on the mounting plate 120. The robotic arm 131 can be assembled using the clearance portion 123, which can reduce the assembly height of the robotic arm 131 and lower the center of gravity of the robotic arm 131. This can further reduce the probability of the gripping component 130 tipping over and make the cleaning equipment safer to operate.

[0219] It is understandable that the turntable is a component that allows the robotic arm 131 to rotate relative to the housing 111, and this arrangement can increase the working range of the robotic arm 131.

[0220] In one feasible implementation, the mounting plate 120 has a thickness of 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0221] In this technical solution, a mounting plate 120 is further provided, with a thickness of 2mm to 5mm. This design ensures the stable fixation of the gripping component 130 while minimizing the thickness of the mounting plate 120, thereby reducing the assembly depth of the gripping component 130. On the one hand, a larger robotic arm 131 can be installed in the same space, making it easier for the gripping component 130 to grasp objects. On the other hand, it lowers the center of gravity of the gripping component 130, especially when the gripping component 130 is in the retracted state, as it can be stored inside the housing 111, making the movement of the cleaning equipment more stable. Furthermore, it reduces the weight of the cleaning equipment, thereby reducing energy consumption during movement.

[0222] In some examples, the mounting plate 120 may be made of steel to ensure the mechanical strength of the mounting plate 120.

[0223] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, there are two or more mounting holes 122, and the number of fasteners 150 is adapted to the number of mounting holes 122.

[0224] In this technical solution, the number of mounting holes 122 is further provided. There are two or more mounting holes 122, and the number of fasteners 150 can be equal to the number of mounting holes 122. Based on this, the gripping component 130 and the housing 111 can have multiple connection positions, so that the fixing strength of the gripper component can be further improved and the probability of the gripper component loosening can be further reduced.

[0225] It is understandable that there can be two or more assembly holes 122 and positioning holes 121, which makes the gripper assembly more reliably fixed.

[0226] like Figure 8 As shown, among which, appendix Figure 8In the diagram, directions A and B represent the two sides, and directions C and D represent the two ends. In one feasible embodiment, the multiple mounting holes 122 are divided into two groups and arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement has two advantages: firstly, it allows for multiple connection points between the mounting plate 120 and the housing 111, and the force at these connection points is more evenly distributed, further ensuring the reliability of the gripping component 130's fixation; secondly, it facilitates the opening of the mounting holes 122, simplifying the manufacturing process of the mounting plate 120 and facilitating its assembly.

[0227] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a reinforcing rib 112 is formed on the housing 111, and a groove 124 is formed on the periphery of the mounting plate 120, with at least a portion of the reinforcing rib 112 located within the groove 124.

[0228] In this technical solution, the design of the housing 111 is further provided. Considering that to ensure mechanical strength during installation, the mounting plate 120 is typically made of a high-strength material, such as steel or other metal, while the main body of the cleaning equipment is usually made of resin to reduce its weight, the housing 111 has lower mechanical strength and is susceptible to deformation. Deformation of the housing 111 would also affect the fixing strength of the gripping assembly 130. Therefore, in this embodiment, the shape of the mounting plate 120 and the design of the housing 111 are designed. A groove 124 can be formed on the mounting plate 120, and a reinforcing rib 112 can be formed on the housing 111. When the mounting plate 120 is assembled onto the housing 111, the reinforcing rib 112 is inserted into the groove 124, increasing the strength of the housing 111 and the contact area between the housing 111 and the mounting plate 120, thereby making the fixing of the gripping assembly 130 more reliable.

[0229] In some examples, there are multiple grooves 124, which are arranged at intervals and distributed around the periphery of the mounting plate 120. This arrangement allows for the formation of more reinforcing ribs 112 on the housing 111 by using multiple grooves 124, thereby further improving strength. On the other hand, the distribution of the grooves 124 around the periphery of the mounting plate 120 facilitates the insertion of the reinforcing ribs 112 into the grooves 124.

[0230] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, a cleaning system is proposed according to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a cleaning device as in the first aspect; or a cleaning device as in the second aspect; and a base station for housing the cleaning device.
