[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0035] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] This embodiment discloses a sweeping robot, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a main body 1 and a display component 2, a protective component 3, a drive component 4, an auxiliary steering component 5, a cleaning component 6, and a control component disposed on the main body 1;

[0038] Display component 2 is used to display the operating status of the main body 1, as well as the battery level and battery life of the main body 1;

[0039] The protective component 3 is disposed on the outside of the main body 1, and the protective component 3 covers the main body 1;

[0040] Drive component 4 is used to drive the body 1 to move;

[0041] The auxiliary steering component 5 controls the direction of movement of the main body 1, and the auxiliary steering component 5 can control the main body 1 to turn in place;

[0042] Cleaning component 6 is used to clean the floor;

[0043] The control component is electrically connected to the display component 2, drive component 4, auxiliary steering component 5 and cleaning component 6 respectively, and the control component enables the display component 2, drive component 4, auxiliary steering component 5 and cleaning component 6 to work together.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the touch screen 21 on the robot allows for a clear view of the robot's status. The touch screen 21 displays different working states of the robot, and by touching the screen, the robot's working state can be set and its working mode changed. When the robot is moving and cleaning, it inevitably encounters walls or other obstacles. Therefore, a protective component 3 is wrapped around the outside of the main body 1 to protect it and prevent damage from collisions. The drive component 4 drives the main body 1 to move, enabling it to clean. The auxiliary steering component 5 helps the main body 1 rotate; for example, when the main body 1 moves to a dead corner, the auxiliary steering component 5 can turn it 360 degrees in place, greatly improving the robot's flexibility. The cleaning component 6 is used to clean the floor and is a core component of the robot. The control component coordinates the various components to work together, enabling the robot to clean fully automatically.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the display component 2 is disposed on the top of the body 1, and the display component 2 includes a touch screen 21 and a breathing light 22, with the breathing light 22 arranged around the touch screen 21.

[0046] Specifically, the display component 2 can display various states of the main body 1. The display component 2 is set on the top of the main body 1 for easy viewing and operation by the user. The touch screen 21 can not only display the state of the main body 1, but the user can also adjust the working mode of the main body 1 by touching the touch screen 21. The breathing light 22 on the outside of the touch screen 21 can more intuitively display the working status of the main body 1. Without having to stare at the touch screen 21, the user can distinguish whether the main body 1 is working and its working status from a distance by the breathing light 22.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the breathing light 22 is divided into four areas, and different areas can display different colors. Different colors represent different working states of the main body 1. When the breathing light 22 shows orange, it means that the main body 1 has low power. When the breathing light 22 shows blue, it means that the main body 1 has sufficient power. When the breathing light 22 shows green, it means that the main body 1 is working. When the breathing light 22 shows red, it means that the main body 1 has malfunctioned and should be repaired as soon as possible.

[0048] Specifically, when the main body 1 is working, the breathing light 22 lights up, and the color of the breathing light 22 corresponds to the working mode of the main body 1. For example, in the case of insufficient light at night, the breathing light 22 can also help to know the working position of the main body 1 and prevent stepping on the main body 1.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective component 3 includes a rubber-structured cover 31, which is disposed around the outer periphery of the body 1, and the bottom of the cover 31 extends beyond the bottom of the body 1.

[0050] Specifically, the cover 31 prevents damage to the main body 1 when it hits an obstacle, such as a wall, sofa corner, or cabinet corner. At the same time, the bottom of the cover 31 is lower than the bottom of the main body 1, so that a part of the cover 31 extends out of the bottom of the main body 1. When the main body 1 is cleaning, it can prevent some debris from being rolled into the bottom of the main body 1, thereby lifting the main body 1 and making it unable to work, which also protects the main body 1.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an airbag 32 is provided inside the covering 31, and the airbags 32 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the covering 31.

[0052] Specifically, when the main unit hits a wall, sofa corner, cabinet corner, etc. during cleaning, the airbag 32 absorbs the impact force to prevent the impact force from being transmitted to the main body 1 and causing damage to the main body 1.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the drive assembly 4 includes four independent drive wheels 41, which are rectangularly distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the body 1.

[0054] Specifically, the four drive wheels 41 arranged in a rectangular shape can provide good support for the body 1 and have good stability. When the drive wheels 41 drive the body 1 to move, they prevent the body 1 from deviating and ensure that the body 1 can always move smoothly.

[0055] In this embodiment, each drive wheel 41 is equipped with an independent motor and a shock absorption device, and each drive wheel 41 is fitted with a silent wheel sleeve.

[0056] Specifically, each drive wheel 41 is driven by an independent motor. Even if one drive wheel 41 cannot rotate, there are other drive wheels 41 to drive it. The shock absorption device can greatly improve the application range of the robot vacuum cleaner, which is not limited by the terrain. When the ground is uneven, the shock absorption device can absorb the vibration caused by the unevenness and ensure the stability of the main body 1 when cleaning. The silent wheel sleeve is fitted on the outside of the drive wheel 41. The silent wheel sleeve absorbs the abnormal noise of the drive wheel 41 rubbing and squeezing with the ground when the main body 1 moves, reducing the noise of the main body 1 when it is working.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the auxiliary steering component 5 includes a swivel wheel, which is located at the bottom of the body 1 and at the center of the four drive wheels 41.

[0058] Specifically, the casters are located at the center of the bottom of the main body 1, supporting the center of the main body 1 and also assisting in steering, ensuring the stability and flexibility of the main body 1 when turning.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 6 includes a cleaning element 61 and a drive motor 62. The drive motor 62 is disposed inside the body 1, the cleaning element 61 is disposed at the bottom of the body 1, and the cleaning element 61 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 62.

[0060] Specifically, the cleaning component 61 is disc-shaped and connected to the output end of the drive motor 62. The drive motor 62 drives the cleaning component 61 to rotate. During cleaning, the cleaning component 61 rotates while the main body 1 moves. By driving the cleaning component 61 to rotate, the cleaning component 61 can sweep away stubborn dirt on the ground. Placing the cleaning component 61 at the bottom of the main body 1 facilitates contact between the cleaning component 61 and the ground. The main body 1 can also apply a certain downward pressure to the cleaning component 61, making the cleaning component 61 more powerful when cleaning.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 6 further includes a suction port 63 and a dust box 64. The suction port 63 is arc-shaped and is positioned facing the cleaning component 61. The suction port 63 is connected to the dust box 64.

[0062] Specifically, the suction port 63 works in conjunction with the cleaning component 61. The cleaning component 61 rotates to lift dirt off the ground. As the cleaning component 61 rotates, when the dirt rotates to the suction port 63, the suction port 63 sucks the dirt into the dust box 64, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning without leaving any traces.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction port 63 is used to suck in dirt, while the dust box 64 is used to collect dirt. The dust box 64 contains a sensor. When the dirt in the dust box 64 reaches a certain level, the sensor sends a signal and displays a prompt that the dust box 64 is full on the touch screen 21. After seeing this prompt, the user needs to clean the dust box 64 in time.

[0064] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the suction port 63 and the dust box 64 are connected by a first suction channel 67. Dirt is placed in the dust box 64 through the suction port 63 and the first suction channel 67. A filter screen 66 is also provided in the dust box 64 to retain the dirt. A suction fan 65 is also provided at the rear of the dust box 64. The suction fan 65 is connected to the dust box 64 through a second suction channel 68. The suction fan 65 exhausts to the outside of the main body 1, thereby generating suction force in the suction port 63 to suck in the dirt. The suction force carries the dirt into the dust box 64, and the dirt entering the dust box 64 adheres to the filter screen 66.

[0065] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0066] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any obvious improvements, substitutions, or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
