DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The current market sweeping robots mainly rely on built-in sensors and software algorithms when cleaning the ground. However, these technologies have limitations in precise positioning and control, especially in complex environments such as wall edges, corners, furniture groups and narrow areas, the cleaning efficiency of the sweeping robot may be reduced. When users need to clean a specific area, they usually only have the option of controlling through APP, voice or gestures, which limits the real-time and accuracy of control, resulting in a weak sense of robot manipulation for users. In addition, the running range of the sweeping robot is limited, for example, it cannot cross the higher threshold to enter the balcony, or in the kitchen area with more oil stains, users may worry about the cleaning effect of the robot, thereby limiting its use. It is also for the above reasons that sweeping robots and floor washing machines are currently used together in most cleaning scenarios. The sweeping robot performs routine cleaning and maintenance of the ground, while the floor washing machine is held by the user for deep cleaning of specific areas, thereby providing a more comprehensive, efficient and personalized cleaning solution to meet the dual needs of modern families for cleaning quality and efficiency.

[0041] However, the above simultaneous purchase of two cleaning devices undoubtedly increases the user's purchase cost. Therefore, the present application thinks that on the basis of the existing sweeping robot, a detachable push rod device is added to the sweeping robot. When routine cleaning and maintenance is needed, the push rod device is separated from the sweeping robot, so that the sweeping robot can move for routine cleaning and maintenance operation. When point positioning cleaning is needed, the push rod device is connected with the sweeping robot, and the user holds the push rod device to control the sweeping robot to move and clean, so that one device can realize routine maintenance self-moving cleaning and facilitate user control for point positioning cleaning, without the need to purchase two cleaning devices, reducing the purchase cost.

[0042] Specifically, the inventor of the present application has attempted to lock the bottom of the push rod device to the robot cleaner through a bolt assembly, but this method requires the user to bend over when disassembling and assembling, and is difficult to disassemble and assemble, which is inconvenient for disassembly and assembly. Therefore, the present application further transfers the disassembly and assembly operation of the push rod device and the robot cleaner to the rod body, and controls the disassembly and assembly of the push rod device and the robot cleaner by rotating the rod body. In this way, when disassembling and assembling, the user can straighten the rod body to disassemble and assemble the push rod device and the robot cleaner, so as to facilitate user operation and improve user experience.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 In an implementable embodiment, the cleaning device can at least include a self-moving cleaning device 100, which includes a moving body 110 and a cleaning component 120. The moving body 110 has a self-moving function, and serves as the main component of the self-moving cleaning device 100. The moving body 110 mainly serves to carry other components of the self-moving cleaning device 100 to move the other components on the self-moving cleaning device 100 together. The cleaning component 120 is connected to the moving body 110. When the moving body 110 moves, the moving body 110 drives the cleaning component 120 to move, so that the cleaning component 120 cleans the path traveled by the moving body 110.

[0045] In actual application, the cleaning component 120 can be connected to the bottom surface of the moving body 110. The cleaning component 120 can adopt one or more of a suction port, a rolling brush, a cloth disc, a roller, a caterpillar roller, a mop, and an edge brush, and the present application does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0046] It should be noted that the self-moving function of the moving body 110 can refer to the self-moving function of the existing robot cleaner. For example, the moving body 110 can use a specific algorithm to plan a cleaning path using preset information, and make decisions such as path re-planning and obstacle avoidance by receiving information collected by its sensors during travel.

[0047] The cleaning device can further comprise a push rod device 200 as a handheld operating member, and a user controls the self-moving cleaning device 100 by holding the push rod device 200. Specifically, the push rod device 200 can comprise a locking assembly 210 and a rod body 220, and the rod body 220 is detachably connected with the moving body 110 through the locking assembly 210. When the rod body 220 is connected with the moving body 110 through the locking assembly 210 (as shown in detail in Figure 1 FIG. 2), the moving body 110 is controlled to move by the rod body 220 to drive the cleaning component 120 to clean the target surface. When the rod body 220 is separated from the moving body 110 through the locking assembly 210 (as shown in detail in Figure 2 FIG. 3), the moving body 110 is self-moved to drive the cleaning component 120 to clean the target surface. That is, the rod body 220 can be connected with the moving body 110 through the locking assembly 210, or be detached from the moving body 110 through the locking assembly 210, so as to facilitate independent cleaning use of the self-moving cleaning device 100 and handheld cleaning use of the self-moving cleaning device 100 combined with the push rod device 200 by a user.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the present application is achieved by adding the detachable push rod device 200 to the self-moving cleaning device 100. When daily cleaning and maintenance is needed, the push rod device 200 is separated from the self-moving cleaning device 100, so that the self-moving cleaning device 100 is self-moved to clean and maintain daily. When fixed-point positioning cleaning is needed, the push rod device 200 is connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100, and the self-moving cleaning device 100 is controlled to move and clean by a user holding the push rod device 200. Thus, one device can realize both daily cleaning and maintenance and fixed-point positioning cleaning, and the user can control the fixed-point positioning cleaning, thereby reducing the purchase cost of two cleaning devices.

[0049] In order to facilitate the user to connect and separate the push rod device 200 and the self-moving cleaning device 100, in an implementable embodiment, one end of the rod body 220 is rotationally connected with the locking assembly 210, and the rod body 220 has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. When the rod body 220 is rotated to the first rotation position, the rod body 220 can drive the locking assembly 210 to be connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100, so as to connect the push rod device 200 with the self-moving cleaning device 100. When the rod body 220 is rotated to the second rotation position, the rod body 220 can drive the locking assembly 210 to be separated from the self-moving cleaning device 100, so as to separate the push rod device 200 from the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0050] Further, the other end of the rod body 220 is provided with a handle 221, and a user can rotate the rod body 220 by the handle 221, so as to facilitate the user to adjust the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0051] It can be understood that, since the locking assembly 210 needs to be connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100, the locking assembly 210 is located at the bottom end of the rod body 220, and the handle 221 is located at the top end of the rod body 220. In this way, the user can drive the connection and separation of the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 by rotating the rod body 220 through the handle 221 while standing, so that the user can complete the connection and separation of the push rod device 200 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 without bending over, facilitating the installation and disassembly operation of the user and improving the user experience.

[0052] The self-moving cleaning device 100 described above has a walking device, and the self-moving cleaning device 100 moves through the walking device. The walking device can be a track walking device, a wheel walking device, or a chain walking device, etc.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3 In an implementable embodiment, taking the wheel walking device as an example, the wheel walking device can include universal wheels 112 and drive wheels 113, the universal wheels 112 and the drive wheels 113 jointly support the moving body 110 of the self-moving cleaning device 100, and the drive wheels 113 serve as a power source to drive the self-moving cleaning device 100 to move. In the moving direction of the self-moving cleaning device 100, the connection position of the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 is located between the universal wheels 112 and the drive wheels 113. In this way, when the rod body 220 is connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100 through the locking assembly 210, the force position applied to the self-moving cleaning device 100 by the rod body 220 to drive the self-moving cleaning device 100 to move is located between the universal wheels 112 and the drive wheels 113, and the universal wheels 112 and the drive wheels 113 can improve the stable support and avoid the risk of tilting and falling due to the moment, thereby ensuring the operation stability of the cleaning equipment combined with the push rod device 200.

[0054] In actual application, the drive wheels 113 can be two, the universal wheels 112 are located on the symmetry plane of the two drive wheels 113, and the universal wheels 112 and the two drive wheels 113 are arranged in a triangular shape.

[0055] In another optional embodiment, in the moving direction of the self-moving cleaning device 100, the connection position of the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 can also be located behind the drive wheels 113.

[0056] In an implementable embodiment, the locking assembly 210 comprises a plug 214 and a motion conversion mechanism 213, wherein the rod 220 is connected with the plug 214 through the motion conversion mechanism 213, and when the rod 220 is rotated by the handle 221, the motion conversion mechanism 213 converts the rotational motion of the rod 220 around the first axis L1 into the sliding motion of the plug 214.

[0057] Please refer again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an implementable embodiment, the connection between the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 is located on the top surface of the self-moving cleaning device 100. In this way, the top surface of the self-moving cleaning device 100 is an easy-to-operate surface, which facilitates the docking and connection of the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0058] In another alternative embodiment, the connection between the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 is located on the side surface of the self-moving cleaning device 100. In actual application, along the moving direction of the self-moving cleaning device 100, the side surface of the self-moving cleaning device 100 comprises a front wall surface, a rear wall surface and two side wall surfaces connected to the front wall surface and the rear wall surface, and the locking assembly 210 can be arranged in a U shape, and when the locking assembly 210 is connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100, the two ends of the locking assembly 210 extend to and are connected with the two side wall surfaces of the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0059] Regarding the detachable connection mode of the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100, the present application provides two implementable embodiments for reference.

[0060] Embodiment one, the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 can be detachably connected in a magnetic connection mode. For example, an electromagnet can be provided on the self-moving cleaning device 100, and a magnetic piece is provided on the locking assembly 210, and the electromagnet can attract or not attract the magnetic piece by being electrified or not, so as to detachably connect the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0061] Embodiment two, the self-moving cleaning device 100 has a first locking part 111, and the locking assembly 210 has a second locking part 211, and the first locking part 111 cooperates with the second locking part 211 to connect the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0062] In an implementable embodiment, the first locking part 111 can be configured as one of a buckle and a clamping groove, and correspondingly, the second locking part 211 is configured as the other of the buckle and the clamping groove, and the first locking part 111 and the second locking part 211 are clamped with each other by the elastic deformation of the buckle to connect the locking assembly 210 and the self-moving cleaning device 100.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the first locking portion 111 can be configured as a locking groove, and the second locking portion 211 can be configured as an insertion portion. The insertion portion is movably arranged on the base 212, and the locking assembly 210 is connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100 by inserting the insertion portion into the locking groove. Figure 4 Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in another embodiment, the first locking portion 111 can be configured as a locking groove, and the second locking portion 211 can be configured as an insertion portion. The insertion portion is movably arranged on the base 212, and the locking assembly 210 is connected with the self-moving cleaning device 100 by inserting the insertion portion into the locking groove.

[0064] In one embodiment, the locking assembly 210 can include a base 212, a motion conversion mechanism 213 and a plug 214, wherein the motion conversion mechanism 213 and the plug 214 are mounted on the base 212. One end of the plug 214 forms the second locking portion 211, and the other end of the plug 214 is connected with the motion conversion mechanism 213. One end of the rod 220 is rotatably connected with the base 212. When the rod 220 is rotated to a first rotation position, the rod 220 drives the plug 214 through the motion conversion mechanism 213, so that the second locking portion 211 is inserted into the first locking portion 111. When the rod 220 is rotated to a second rotation position, the rod 220 drives the plug 214 through the motion conversion mechanism 213, so that the second locking portion 211 is separated from the first locking portion 111.

[0065] The second locking portion 211 can be inserted into the first locking portion 111 by flipping.

[0066] The second locking portion 211 can also be inserted into the first locking portion 111 by sliding and stretching. For details, please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment, the plug 214 is slidingly connected with the base 212, so that the second locking portion 211 formed by one end of the plug 214 can slide and stretch relative to the base 212. The motion conversion mechanism 213 is mounted on the base 212, the rod 220 is connected with the plug 214 through the motion conversion mechanism 213, and the motion conversion mechanism 213 is configured to convert the rotational motion of the rod 220 around the first axis L1 into the sliding motion of the plug 214, wherein the first axis L1 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the plug 214.

[0067] In practical application, the first rotation position and the second rotation position can be one of the two positions formed when the rod 220 is rotated to the limit position around the first axis L1 in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, respectively.

[0068] For the specific structure of the motion conversion mechanism 213, please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. Figure 9 Figure 10 ​​As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the motion conversion mechanism 213 can include a rotating disc 2131 rotationally connected with the base 212, the rotating disc 2131 being provided with a driving slot 21311, the other end of the inserting piece 214 being movably arranged in the driving slot 21311, and the inner wall surface of the driving slot 21311 driving the inserting piece 214 to slide when the rotating disc 2131 rotates. The rod body 220 is connected with the inserting piece 214 through the rotating disc 2131, and when the rod body 220 rotates around the first axis L1, the rod body 220 drives the rotating disc 2131 to rotate, and the inner wall surface of the driving slot 21311 drives the inserting piece 214 to slide.

[0069] Taking the first rotating position as an example, the rod body 220 rotates around the first axis L1 in the clockwise direction to the limit position, and correspondingly, the second rotating position is that the rod body 220 rotates around the first axis L1 in the counterclockwise direction to the limit position. In this way, when the rod body 220 rotates around the first axis L1 in the clockwise direction, the rod body 220 can drive the rotating disc 2131 to rotate in the clockwise direction, so that the rotating disc 2131 can drive the inserting piece 214 to slide away from the rotating disc 2131, and the second locking part 211 formed by the one end of the inserting piece 214 can be inserted into the first locking part 111. When the rod body 220 rotates around the first axis L1 in the counterclockwise direction, the rod body 220 can drive the rotating disc 2131 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, so that the rotating disc 2131 can drive the inserting piece 214 to slide towards the rotating disc 2131, and the second locking part 211 formed by the one end of the inserting piece 214 can be separated from the first locking part 111.

[0070] In actual application, the other end of the inserting piece 214 can be provided with a roller or a limiting shaft, the inserting piece 214 being arranged in the driving slot 21311 through the roller or the limiting shaft, so that the outer wall surface of the roller or the limiting shaft contacts with the inner wall surface of the driving slot 21311, and the friction between the two is reduced. The inner wall surface of the driving slot 21311 can also be provided with a wear-resistant layer, so as to reduce the abrasion caused by mutual sliding and improve the service life.

[0071] Again referring to Figure 9As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the plurality of second locking portions 211 can be provided with two or more, and correspondingly, the first locking portions 111 and the second locking portions 211 are of the same number and one-to-one correspondence, and the driving grooves 21311 and the second locking portions 211 are of the same number and one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the locking assembly 210 can be connected with the moving body 110 in a manner that the plurality of second locking portions 211 are inserted into the plurality of first locking portions 111, thereby sharing the connection stress, so that the connection is more stable and reliable. Taking the example that the plurality of second locking portions 211 are two, the two second locking portions 211 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating disc 2131, the driving grooves 21311 are two, the two driving grooves 21311 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating axis of the base 212 and the rotating disc 2131, and the other ends of the two second locking portions 211 are movably arranged in the two driving grooves 21311.

[0072] The rod body 220 can be directly connected with the rotating disc 2131, the rod body 220 is coaxial with the rotating axis of the rotating disc 2131, and the first axis L1 can be the axis of the rod body 220, that is, the rod body 220 drives the rotating disc 2131 to rotate in a manner of autorotation, thereby adjusting the sliding expansion and contraction of the second locking portions 211 relative to the base 212. The rod body 220 can also be indirectly connected with the rotating disc 2131, such as Figure 8 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the motion conversion mechanism 213 can further include a rotating shaft sleeve 2132 and a transmission member 2133. The outer wall surface of the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 is provided with an outer protrusion 21321, the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 is rotationally connected with the base 212 about the first axis L1, and the rod body 220 is connected with the rotating shaft sleeve 2132, so that the rod body 220 can rotate about the first axis L1. The transmission member 2133 is connected with the rotating disc 2131, and the rotating axes of the rotating disc 2131 and the base 212 are arranged in a staggered manner at the connection position of the transmission member 2133 and the rotating disc 2131, the transmission member 2133 is provided with a transmission groove 21331, and the outer protrusion 21321 is located in the transmission groove 21331. In this way, when the rod body 220 rotates about the first axis L1, the rod body 220 can drive the transmission member 2133 to rotate through the outer protrusion 21321, thereby causing the rotating disc 2131 to rotate.

[0073] In actual application, the transmission member 2133 can be connected with the rotating disc 2131 in a manner of threaded connection, adhesion, clamping, lapping or insertion. For example, the bottom of the transmission member 2133 is provided with an insertion rod, the rotating disc 2131 is provided with a matching tube, and the transmission member 2133 is connected with the rotating disc 2131 by being inserted into the matching tube through the insertion rod.

[0074] It is considered that the user will change the inclination angle of the rod body 220 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 according to the actual use to adapt to different working scenes such as high-angle cleaning, low-space cleaning, etc., and to ensure that the user's hands and arms can maintain a comfortable posture during operation.

[0075] To this end, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 It is shown that in an implementable embodiment, the motion conversion mechanism 213 can further include a rotating shaft member 2134, which includes a first rotating shaft 21341 and a second rotating shaft 21342. Wherein the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341 is perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft 21342, the first rotating shaft 21341 is rotationally connected with the base 212, so that the rod body 220 can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341 relative to the base 212 through the rotating shaft member 2134. The second rotating shaft 21342 is rotationally connected with the rotating shaft sleeve 2132, and the axis of the second rotating shaft 21342 is collinear with the first axis L1, so that the rod body 220 can be rotationally connected with the base 212 around the first axis L1 through the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 and the second rotating shaft 21342 rotationally connected manner. That is, the rod body 220 can rotate around the first axis L1 relative to the base 212, or can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341 relative to the base 212.

[0076] The above-mentioned transmission groove 21331 is located on the rotation path of the outer convex part 21321 rotating around the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341, so that when the rod body 220 rotates around the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341 relative to the base 212, the outer convex part 21321 can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 21341 into the transmission groove 21331, and from the transmission groove 21331.

[0077] In this way, during use, the user can operate the rod body 220 to rotate around the axis of the first rotation shaft 21341 through the handle 221, so as to adapt to different working scenarios and ensure that the user's hands and arms can maintain a comfortable posture during operation. When it is necessary to control the connection or separation of the locking assembly 210 and the mobile body 110, the user can rotate the rod body 220 around the axis of the first rotation shaft 21341 through the handle 221, so that the outer convex part 21321 enters the transmission groove 21331, at this time, the adjusting position is reached. In the adjusting position, the user can rotate the rod body 220 in the clockwise direction around the first axis L1 through the handle 221, drive the rotating disc 2131 to rotate in the clockwise direction through the transmission member 2133, and then drive the plug-in part 214 to slide so that the second locking part 211 is inserted into the first locking part 111, so as to connect the locking assembly 210 and the mobile body 110; the user can also rotate the rod body 220 in the counterclockwise direction around the first axis L1, drive the rotating disc 2131 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction through the transmission member 2133, and then drive the plug-in part 214 to slide so that the second locking part 211 is separated from the first locking part 111, so as to separate the locking assembly 210 and the mobile body 110.

[0078] The rotating shaft sleeve 2132 can be configured as a straight line structure, that is, the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 is a straight pipe structure.

[0079] The rotating shaft sleeve 2132 can also be configured as an elbow structure, as shown in Figure 13 In an implementable embodiment, the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 can include a first shaft sleeve 21322 and a second shaft sleeve 21323, wherein the first shaft sleeve 21322 is rotationally connected with the second rotation shaft 21342, and the outer convex part 21321 is formed on the outer wall surface of the first shaft sleeve 21322. The second shaft sleeve 21323 is arranged at an angle with the first shaft sleeve 21322, and the rod body 220 is coaxially connected with the second shaft sleeve 21323. In this way, the axis of the rod body 220 is not collinear with the first axis L1, and when the rotating shaft sleeve 2132 is rotated by rotating the rod body 220, the end of the rod body 220 located at the handle needs to be rotated by a large amplitude, thereby reducing the possibility of misoperation caused by rotating the rod body 220 during daily cleaning.

[0080] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 14As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the motion conversion mechanism 213 can further include a locking seat 215. When the second locking portion 211 is inserted into the first locking portion 111, the transmission member 2133 is fixed on the base 212 through the locking seat 215, so as to block the motion of the transmission member 2133 relative to the base 212, thereby avoiding the potential risk and damage caused by the accidental disengagement of the second locking portion 211 from the first locking portion 111 during use, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the push rod device 200 and the self-moving cleaning device 100, and improving the use safety.

[0081] In actual application, the locking seat 215 can lock the transmission member 2133 on the base 212 through the threaded connection with the transmission member 2133. The locking seat 215 can also lock the transmission member 2133 on the base 212 through the clamping connection with the transmission member 2133 and the base 212. The locking seat 215 can also be fixedly connected with the transmission member 2133 and locked on the base 212 through the friction force between the locking seat 215 and the base 212.

[0082] In order to facilitate the installation operation of the motion conversion mechanism 213 and the plug-in member 214, as shown in Figure 11 As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the base 212 can be composed of an upper seat body 2121 and a lower seat body 2122. In this way, the motion conversion mechanism 213 and the plug-in member 214 can be installed in the corresponding positions first, and then the upper seat body 2121 and the lower seat body 2122 can be connected.

[0083] Please refer again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in an implementable embodiment, the self-moving cleaning device 100 is provided with a mounting groove 114, and the first locking portion 111 is formed on the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 114. The shape of the locking assembly 210 is adapted to the shape of the mounting groove 114. When the push rod device 200 is inserted into the self-moving cleaning device 100 through the positioning of the locking assembly 210 and the mounting groove 114, the first locking portion 111 and the second locking portion 211 are oppositely arranged. That is, when the push rod device 200 is installed, the shape of the locking assembly 210 and the shape of the mounting groove 114 can be referred to for installation, and the cooperation of the shape of the locking assembly 210 and the shape of the mounting groove 114 can also play a positioning role on the locking assembly 210, so as to ensure that the second locking portion 211 can be accurately inserted into the first locking portion 111, and facilitate the installation operation of the user.

[0084] In an implementable embodiment, the self-moving cleaning device 100 can further comprise a first detection element and a second detection element. The first detection element is arranged in the mounting groove 114, and is configured to detect whether the locking assembly 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 114. The second detection element is arranged in the first locking portion 111, and is configured to detect whether the second locking portion 211 is inserted into the first locking portion 111.

[0085] In actual applications, the first detection element and the second detection element can be micro switches or infrared sensors, etc. Taking the case where both the first detection element and the second detection element are micro switches as an example, when the locking assembly 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 114, the locking assembly 210 can touch the first detection element, so that the first detection element obtains a signal to determine that the locking assembly 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 114. When the second locking portion 211 is inserted into the first locking portion 111, the second locking portion 211 touches the second detection element, so that the second detection element obtains a signal to determine that the second locking portion 211 is inserted into the first locking portion 111. When both of the above two signals are completed, the self-moving cleaning device 100 can perform the next action, and the double signal confirmation ensures that the push rod device 200 and the self-moving cleaning device 100 can be stably connected, avoiding the risk of falling off; and the self-moving cleaning device 100 can feed back through voice when the signal is completed, reminding the user to perform the next action, and giving the user a more intuitive feeling.

[0086] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a self-moving cleaning device 100. The self-moving cleaning device 100 has a mobile body 110 with a self-moving function, the bottom surface of the mobile body 110 is provided with universal wheels 112 and drive wheels 113, the top surface of the mobile body 110 is provided with a mounting groove 114, the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 114 is provided with a locking groove, and in the moving direction of the mobile body 110, the locking groove is located between the universal wheels 112 and the drive wheels 113.
