[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a sweeping robot with a dustproof function. The sweeping robot with a dustproof function includes a chassis 100, a shell 200, and a dustproof component. The chassis 100 and the shell 200 are fixedly assembled, and there is a gap between the chassis 100 and the shell 200. The dustproof component is disposed at the gap and is fixedly assembled with the chassis 100. The dustproof component is used to seal the gap.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the chassis 100 is the basic structural component of the dust-proof robotic vacuum cleaner, used to support various parts, such as wheels 500 and motors, providing support and a mounting base for the operation of the robotic vacuum cleaner. The outer shell 200 is the external protective structure of the robotic vacuum cleaner, serving to protect internal parts and shape its appearance. The dust-proof component is specifically designed to prevent external dust from entering the interior of the robotic vacuum cleaner, maintaining its internal cleanliness and reducing the impact of external debris on the machine's operation.

[0028] The chassis 100 and the outer shell 200 are assembled together by a fixed assembly method, inevitably creating gaps between them. Dustproof components are positioned in these gaps and fixedly assembled with the chassis 100. This design allows the dustproof components to be stably positioned in the working position, effectively sealing the gaps and preventing dust from entering the internal structure of the robot vacuum cleaner. In one specific embodiment, during actual use, the robot vacuum cleaner will stir up dust when cleaning the floor. Without the dustproof components sealing the gaps, dust can easily enter the machine, potentially affecting the normal operation of components such as the motor, and reducing the machine's lifespan and performance.

[0029] In conclusion, during actual operation, external dust is a significant factor affecting the normal operation of electronic devices. Excessive dust entering the robot vacuum cleaner can lead to problems such as accelerated motor wear and short circuits. However, by installing a dustproof component between the chassis 100 and the outer casing 200, the likelihood of dust entering the machine can be greatly reduced, extending its lifespan and improving its stability and reliability.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a first gap 300 is provided between the two sides of the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200. The dustproof component includes a first dustproof sheet 310, which is located at the first gap 300.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, a first gap 300 exists between the two sides of the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200. To prevent dust from entering through this gap, a first dustproof sheet 310 is provided. The first dustproof sheet 310 is installed at the first gap 300 and can effectively block dust from entering the machine through the sides. In one specific embodiment, when the robot vacuum cleaner is cleaning along a wall, dust from the wall can easily enter the machine from the side. Without the first dustproof sheet 310, this dust may enter the first gap 300 between the two sides of the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200, thereby damaging the internal components. The presence of the first dustproof sheet 310 effectively blocks the dust from entering.

[0032] In summary, the first dustproof sheet 310 protects the two sides of the chassis 100, which are prone to dust accumulation, thus improving the targeting and effectiveness of dust and water protection.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a second gap 400 is provided between the end of the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200. The dustproof assembly also includes a second dustproof sheet 410, which is located at the second gap 400.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, in addition to protecting the first gaps 300 on both sides of the chassis 100, a second gap 400 also exists between the end of the chassis 100 and the outer casing 200. To comprehensively prevent dust from entering the machine's interior, the dustproof assembly also includes a second dustproof sheet 410, which is positioned at the second gap 400 and can block dust entering from the end. In one specific embodiment, when the dustproof robot vacuum cleaner is cleaning corners or turning when encountering obstacles, dust is easily stirred up at the end. Without the second dustproof sheet 410, this dust may enter the machine's interior through the second gap 400, affecting the normal operation of internal components.

[0035] In summary, the second dustproof sheet 410 works in conjunction with the first dustproof sheet 310 to provide comprehensive dust protection between the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200. Debris entering from either the side or the end is effectively blocked, greatly improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the robot vacuum cleaner and ensuring a relatively clean environment inside the machine in various working scenarios.

[0036] Both the first dustproof sheet 310 and the second dustproof sheet 410 are made of foam.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, preferably, both the first dustproof sheet 310 and the second dustproof sheet 410 are made of foam material. The use of foam material is based on various characteristics of foam. The softness of foam allows it to adapt well to gaps of different shapes and sizes between the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200, achieving a tight fit and effectively sealing off dust. The porous structure of foam material can absorb a certain amount of dust, further improving the dustproof effect. Moreover, the porous structure of foam material can effectively allow airflow, facilitating the dissipation of heat from the inside of the robot vacuum cleaner. Compared with other airtight sealing structures, using foam material for the first dustproof sheet 310 and the second dustproof sheet 410 enables the robot vacuum cleaner to achieve good heat dissipation. In addition, during the operation of the robot vacuum cleaner, there may be relative movement or slight vibration between the chassis 100 and the outer shell 200. The elasticity of the foam can act as a buffer, preventing the dustproof sheet from being damaged by frequent friction or vibration, thus extending its service life. In one specific embodiment, when the robot vacuum is working, the vibration of the machine will not cause the foam dustproof sheet to fall off or be damaged easily, while the foam can tightly fill the gaps to prevent dust from entering.

[0038] In summary, the porous structure and soft texture of foam allow it to fit tightly into gaps, forming a good seal and effectively preventing dust intrusion, while also providing good heat dissipation. Compared to other materials, foam has a stronger ability to absorb fine dust particles, significantly reducing the amount of dust entering the machine and providing more reliable dust protection. Moreover, foam is a common and relatively low-cost material, easy to process and mold, meeting the needs of large-scale production. Using foam to make dustproof sheets reduces production costs and enhances the product's market competitiveness while ensuring good dustproof performance and service life.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the dust-proof sweeping robot also includes wheels 500 and baffles 510. The wheels 500 are mounted on the chassis 100, which has a notch 110 for making way for the wheels 500. The baffles 510 are fixedly installed in the notch 110 and are used to protect the wheels 500.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the wheels 500 are mounted on the chassis 100, which is the basis for the robot vacuum cleaner to achieve its mobility function. In order to leave space for the installation of the wheels 500, the chassis 100 is provided with notches 110. There are two notches 110, and the two notches 110 correspond one-to-one with the two wheels 500. A baffle 510 is provided at each notch 110. The baffle 510 is arc-shaped and is fixedly installed on the chassis 100. The baffle 510 can effectively prevent external debris from entering the interior of the dustproof robot vacuum cleaner through the notch 110.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the first dustproof sheet 310 includes a first dustproof part 311, the shape of the first dustproof part 311 matches the shape of the baffle 510, and the first dustproof part 311 is attached to the baffle 510.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the first dustproof sheet 310 is provided with a first dustproof part 311, the shape of which matches the shape of the baffle 510. This design allows the first dustproof part 311 to fit tightly against the baffle 510. When the dustproof robot vacuum cleaner is working, dust may enter through the gap between the baffle 510 and the outer shell 200. After the first dustproof part 311 is fitted against the baffle 510, it can effectively seal the gap between the baffle 510 and the outer shell 200, preventing dust from entering.

[0043] In summary, the first dustproof sheet 310 is specifically designed for the critical area around the baffle 510, which is prone to dust accumulation, and can more accurately block dust from entering. Due to its shape matching, the first dustproof part 311 can fit seamlessly with the baffle 510, minimizing the possibility of dust entering the machine through the connection between the baffle 510 and other components, thus improving the reliability of the dustproof effect.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the first dustproof sheet 310 also includes a second dustproof part 312, which is connected to the first dustproof part 311 and is attached to the chassis 100.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, in the structure of the first dustproof sheet 310, in addition to the first dustproof part 311 that fits against the baffle 510, a second dustproof part 312 is also provided. The second dustproof part 312 is connected to the first dustproof part 311 and fits tightly against the chassis 100. Preferably, the first dustproof part 311 and the second dustproof part 312 are integrally formed, and this design allows the first dustproof sheet 310 to block dust at multiple locations.

[0046] In summary, the second dustproof unit 312 works in conjunction with the first dustproof unit 311 to provide comprehensive dust protection for the connection between the chassis 100 and the baffle 510, as well as the surrounding area. Dust entering from either the baffle 510 or the chassis 100 direction can be effectively blocked, further improving the dustproof performance of the sweeping robot and ensuring the cleanliness of the machine's interior and the normal operation of its components.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the dust-proof sweeping robot also includes a bracket 600 and a camera 610. The bracket 600 is located at the first gap 300, and the camera 610 is mounted on the bracket 600.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, to enhance the robotic vacuum cleaner's environmental awareness and intelligent functions, a bracket 600 and a camera 610 are added to its structure. The bracket 600 is positioned at the first gap 300 at the end of the chassis 100. This location provides suitable mounting space for the camera 610 without affecting the overall structure and appearance design of the robotic vacuum cleaner. The camera 610 is mounted on the bracket 600, and with the support and fixation of the bracket 600, it can operate stably.

[0049] In summary, the camera 610 can acquire real-time environmental images of the robot vacuum cleaner's surroundings, enabling the machine to more accurately identify the position and shape of objects such as furniture, walls, and obstacles, thus achieving more precise navigation and obstacle avoidance. This helps improve the robot vacuum cleaner's efficiency and safety in complex home environments, reduces collisions and jamming, and provides users with a better experience.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the dust-proof sweeping robot also includes a conductive sheet 700, and the bracket 600 is fixedly installed to the chassis 100 through the conductive sheet 700.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, in the structure of a dust-proof sweeping robot, a conductive sheet 700 is introduced to stably mount the bracket 600 on the chassis 100 and achieve certain electrical connection functions. The conductive sheet 700 is disposed between the bracket 600 and the chassis 100. Preferably, the conductive sheet 700 is made of conductive foam. The bracket 600 and the conductive sheet 700 are fixedly installed, and the conductive sheet 700 is fixedly assembled to the chassis 100. The conductive sheet 700 ensures that the bracket 600 can be firmly fixed to the chassis 100 and will not loosen or fall off due to the movement or vibration of the dust-proof sweeping robot. Furthermore, due to its conductivity, it can establish a conductive path between the bracket 600 and the chassis 100, achieving the purpose of electrical connection. In one specific embodiment, in some cases, it may be necessary to ground certain electrical components on the bracket 600 through the chassis 100. The conductive sheet 700 can then conduct current, ensuring electrical safety and the stability of signal transmission.

[0052] In summary, the conductive sheet 700 not only conducts electricity but also provides additional connection strength between the bracket 600 and the chassis 100. Compared to simple mechanical connections, such as direct screw connections, the use of the conductive sheet 700 can distribute the force, making the bracket 600 more stable. During the operation of the dustproof robotic vacuum cleaner, it can withstand greater impact and vibration, preventing the bracket 600 from loosening and ensuring that components such as the camera 610 mounted on the bracket 600 always maintain the correct position and orientation for normal operation.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 600 is made of conductive metal. The base 100, conductive sheet 700, bracket 600 and camera 610 are all electrically connected to facilitate grounding of the camera 610.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the bracket 600 is made of conductive metal, and the chassis 100, conductive sheet 700, bracket 600, and camera 610 are electrically connected to form a conductive circuit to ground the camera 610. During the operation of a dust-proof robotic vacuum cleaner, the camera 610 may be subject to electrostatic or electromagnetic interference, affecting the quality of its image acquisition and transmission. By grounding the camera 610, accumulated static electricity can be released to the ground in a timely manner, and the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the camera 610 can also be reduced. In one specific embodiment, when the robotic vacuum cleaner operates in a dry environment, it is prone to generating static electricity. If the camera 610 is not grounded, static electricity may damage its internal circuitry, leading to problems such as blurry or distorted images. By connecting and grounding the camera 610 to components such as the chassis 100 through this electrical connection, these problems can be effectively avoided.

[0055] In summary, grounding effectively eliminates the effects of static electricity buildup and electromagnetic interference on the camera 610, ensuring that the camera 610 can stably acquire clear and accurate image information during operation. Whether in complex electromagnetic environments or under conditions prone to static electricity, the camera 610 can operate normally without experiencing image quality degradation or signal interruption due to interference, thus improving the overall performance and reliability of the robotic vacuum cleaner.
