[0033] In order to make the person skilled in the art to which the present application belongs more clearly understand the present application, 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 embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] The cleaning equipment such as the sweeping robot is a cleaning machine suitable for hard ground cleaning, simultaneously absorbing dry sewage, and taking sewage away from the scene, which has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, high efficiency, etc.
[0035] In the related art, the cleaning equipment such as the sweeping robot is configured with a detection device, which includes a detection module. The detection module can be a camera module or / and a sensor module, to scan environmental information in the process of running the cleaning equipment, and provide the scanned environmental information to the processor of the cleaning equipment. The processor plans the walking path of the cleaning equipment according to the obtained environmental information.
[0036] However, in the process of running the cleaning equipment, the detection device may be in contact with the obstacle in the walking path of the cleaning equipment, causing damage to the detection device. The detection device cannot provide the environmental information required for the operation of the cleaning equipment, affecting the normal operation of the cleaning equipment.
[0037] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a detection device, a cleaning equipment, and a cleaning system. The detection module of the detection device is height-adjustable. When an obstacle exists in the path of the cleaning equipment, the detection module is lowered to avoid it. Once the cleaning equipment has passed the obstacle, the detection module is raised. The detection module continues to provide scanned environmental information to the processor of the cleaning equipment to ensure its obstacle avoidance capability and enable normal operation. Specific details of the detection device are now further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a first state of the cleaning device according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a second state of the cleaning device in one or more embodiments of this application is shown. Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the detection module under the specified state. Figure 4 It shows Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the structure of the detection module in different states. The first state of the cleaning equipment refers to the state where the detection module is in the first detection position, and the second state refers to the state where the detection module is in the second detection position. For clarity, this... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 Some components of the cleaning equipment have been omitted. (Combined) Figures 1-4 The detection device provided in this application is mounted on the main unit of a cleaning equipment. The detection device includes a drive mechanism 100 and a detection module 200. The drive mechanism 100 has a liftable output section. The detection module 200 is connected to the output section of the drive mechanism 100. The detection module 200 is movably located at a first detection position, a second detection position, or between the first detection position and the second detection position. The first detection position is higher than the top surface of the main unit, and the second detection position is lower than or equal to the top surface of the main unit.
[0039] The detection device provided in this application, which is mounted on the main unit of the cleaning equipment, includes a drive mechanism 100 with a lifting output section and a detection module 200 connected to the output section of the drive mechanism 100. During the operation of the cleaning equipment, by controlling the operation of the drive mechanism 100, the detection module 200 connected to the output section of the drive mechanism 100 is driven to lift and lower, so that the detection module 200 moves back and forth between a first detection position and a second detection position, thereby switching the detection module between the first detection position and the second detection position. This avoids damage to the detection module 200 caused by contact or collision with obstacles on the travel path of the cleaning equipment, and ensures that the cleaning equipment can operate normally.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the cleaning device is in normal operation, the detection module 200 is in the first detection position to scan the environmental information in real time to serve the operation of the cleaning device; if there is an obstacle on the travel path of the cleaning device, the detection module 200 is in the second detection position to avoid collision and damage of the detection module 200 with the obstacle and to ensure the normal operation of the cleaning device; or if there is an obstacle on the travel path of the cleaning device, the detection module 200 confirms the height of the obstacle, and according to the height of the obstacle, the detection module 200 is lowered to a position between the first detection position and the second detection position, which is lower than the height of the obstacle, so that the cleaning device can normally pass through the obstacle and the cleaning device can be in normal operation.
[0041] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the detection device further comprises a fixing member 300, and at least part of the detection module 200 is lifted in the fixing member 300. When the detection module 200 is in the first detection position, the detection module 200 has a part protruding from the fixing member 300 to scan the environmental information; when the detection module 200 is in the second detection position, the detection module 200 can be completely placed in the fixing member 300 or partially placed in the fixing member 300, and then the fixing member 300 protects the detection module 200 from being contacted and collided by the obstacle on the travel path.

Wherein, when the detection module 200 is in the second detection position, the detection module 200 is not lower than the bottom of the recess 401, and the detection module 200 can scan the environmental information through the recess 401 on the peripheral side of the shell 400 to serve the operation of the cleaning device.
[0043] In combination Figure 5In an embodiment, the recess 401 extends to the rear side of the peripheral side of the shell 400, when the detection module 200 is in the second detection position, the processor of the cleaning device controls the cleaning device to rotate, so that the rear side of the cleaning device rotates to the front side of the cleaning device, and the detection module 200 is used to scan the environmental information in the running direction of the cleaning device to serve the operation of the cleaning device. In another embodiment, the recess 401 extends to the front side of the peripheral side of the shell 400, when the detection module 200 is in the second detection position, the detection module 200 can be directly used to scan the environmental information in the running direction of the cleaning device to serve the operation of the cleaning device.
[0044] In the related art, when the cleaning device such as a sweeping robot is running, the ground debris is sucked into the dust collection box inside the cleaning device to complete the ground cleaning function.
