[0052] After leaving the production line, robotic vacuum cleaners need to undergo a series of tests to ensure their performance and reliability. One of the most important tests is to verify whether the robot can build an accurate map and plan a reasonable cleaning path based on the map information. In existing technologies, this test involves personnel placing the robot on a test track and manually operating it on a platform to visually observe the accuracy of the cleaning path. However, repeatedly moving the robot back and forth not only reduces testing efficiency but also results in low accuracy when relying on visual inspection.
[0053] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a sweeping robot testing device 100, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device has a material feeding station 101. The sweeping robot testing equipment 100 includes a testing device 1 and a conveying device 2. The testing device 1 includes at least one testing chamber 11. The testing chamber 11 has an entrance / exit 111 for the sweeping robot to enter and exit. The testing chamber 11 is equipped with a testing module for testing the performance of the sweeping robot. The conveying device 2 includes a picking unit 21. The picking unit 21 can move between the material feeding station 101 and the entrance / exit 111 of the testing chamber 11 to pick up the sweeping robot to be tested at the material feeding station 101, transfer the sweeping robot to be tested to the entrance / exit 111, and transport it from the entrance / exit 111 to the testing chamber 11. The picking unit 21 is also used to transfer the sweeping robot after testing from the entrance / exit 111 to the material feeding station 101.
[0054] In this invention, the picking unit 21 of the conveying device 2 moves the robotic vacuum cleaner to be tested from the unloading station 101 to the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11, and places it inside the test chamber 11 for testing. The detection module located in the test chamber 11 detects the performance of the robotic vacuum cleaner within the test chamber 11. After the test is completed, the picking unit 21 of the conveying device 2 picks up the tested robotic vacuum cleaner through the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11 and returns it to the unloading station 101 for the next test. Because this invention can be automated by the conveying device 2, the conveying time is reduced while maintaining a stable testing rhythm, thus improving testing efficiency. The picking unit 21 can pick up the robotic vacuum cleaner using a suction cup or a gripper, which is not specifically limited here.
[0055] It is understood that the picking unit 21 can have a travel distance in one, two, three, or multiple dimensions to adapt to the needs of different robotic vacuum cleaners. In one embodiment, the picking unit 21 can move in a first horizontal direction, a second horizontal direction, and a vertical direction. This configuration allows the picking unit 21 to perform efficient and precise operations in three-dimensional space by moving in two horizontal directions and vertically, thus ensuring the smoothness of the entire testing process. Driving the picking unit 21 in the three dimensions can be achieved using a linear drive module or a linear cylinder, etc. Therefore, in one embodiment, the conveying device 2 includes a first motion mechanism 22, a second motion mechanism 23, and a lifting mechanism 24: the first motion mechanism 22 includes a first mounting portion 221 movable in a first horizontal direction and a first drive structure 222 for driving the first mounting portion 221 to move in the first horizontal direction; the second motion mechanism 23 is mounted on the first mounting portion 221 so as to be driven by the first mounting portion 221 to move in the first horizontal direction, the second motion mechanism 23 includes a second mounting portion 231 movable in a second horizontal direction and a second drive structure 232 for driving the second mounting portion 231 to move; the lifting mechanism 24 is mounted on the second mounting portion 231 so as to move with the second mounting portion 231 in the first and second horizontal directions, the lifting mechanism 24 has a mounting base 241 movable up and down and a lifting drive structure 242 for driving the mounting base 241 to move; wherein, the picking portion 21 is mounted on the mounting base 241.
[0056] In this way, the first mounting portion 221 can move in the first horizontal direction to cover the required working range. The first driving structure 222 can be equipped with a high-precision servo motor or linear drive module, responsible for driving the first mounting portion 221 to move in the first horizontal direction. The first driving structure 222 can provide stable and precise linear motion, so that the pickup portion 21 can smoothly transition between required positions. The second movement mechanism 23 is directly mounted on the first mounting portion 221, so it can move in the first horizontal direction with the first mounting portion 221. The second mounting portion 231 can move in the second horizontal direction, further allowing the pickup portion 21 to move freely in a larger horizontal plane area. The second driving structure 232 can also use a high-performance servo motor or linear drive module to drive the second mounting portion 231 to move in the second horizontal direction. In addition, by coordinating the movement of the two horizontal directions, precise positioning of the pickup portion 21 at any point in the horizontal plane area can be achieved. The lifting mechanism 24 is mounted on the second mounting portion 231, so it can move in the two horizontal directions with the second mounting portion 231, and also independently complete the movement in the vertical direction. The mounting seat 241 can move up and down to provide the pickup portion 21 with the ability to adjust the height. The lifting driving structure 242 can be a ball screw transmission, a linear cylinder or other forms of driving device, to drive the mounting seat 241 to move up and down. So that the pickup portion 21 can quickly respond according to different height requirements, and maintain the stability and accuracy of the action.
[0057] As Figure 5As shown, in order to improve the stability of the pickup part 21 running in the first horizontal direction, in an embodiment, the first movement mechanism 22 further comprises a first mounting frame 220, the first mounting frame 220 has a first mounting rail 223 extending along the first horizontal direction, the first mounting part 221 is movably mounted on the first mounting rail 223 along the first horizontal direction, and the first driving structure 222 drives the first mounting part 221 to move along the first horizontal direction. In this way, by taking the first mounting rail 223 as the guide path of the first mounting part 221, smooth movement along the predetermined track is ensured, and deviation or shaking is avoided. Such a linear guide rail can reduce friction, so that the first mounting part 221 can easily and stably move a long distance. In order to transmit the power of the first driving structure 222 to the first mounting part 221, a synchronous belt or a gear transmission device can be used. These transmission modes not only can ensure efficient energy conversion, but also can realize accurate speed control and positioning. Specifically, in an embodiment, the first driving mechanism comprises a first motor 224, the first motor 224 is arranged on the first mounting part 221, the output end of the first motor 224 is provided with a first driving tooth 225, the first driving tooth 225 is engaged with a first tooth belt 226, one end of the first tooth belt 226 away from the first driving tooth 225 is engaged with a first transmission tooth 227, the first transmission tooth 227 is coaxially provided with the first driving tooth 228, the first driving tooth 228 is engaged with a first rack 29, and the first rack 29 is arranged on the first mounting rail 223 along the first horizontal direction. In this way, when the first motor 224 starts to operate, the first driving tooth 225 at the output end of the first motor 224 drives the first transmission tooth 227 to rotate through the first tooth belt 226. Since the first transmission tooth 227 is coaxially arranged with the first driving tooth 228, the first driving tooth 228 also rotates. The first driving tooth 228 is engaged with the first rack 29, and along with the rotation of the first driving tooth 228, it moves linearly along the first rack 29, thereby driving the first mounting part 221 to stably move along the first mounting rail 223 in the first horizontal direction. By driving a series of transmission components through the first motor 224, the smooth and accurate movement of the first mounting part 221 in the first horizontal direction can be accurately controlled.
[0058] As Figure 6As shown, in order to improve the stability of the pickup unit 21 running in the second horizontal direction, the second movement mechanism 23 further comprises a second mounting frame mounted on the first mounting portion 221, the second mounting frame having a second mounting rail 233 extending along the second horizontal direction, the second mounting portion 231 movably mounted on the second mounting rail 233 along the second horizontal direction, and the second driving structure 232 driving the second mounting portion 231 to move along the second horizontal direction. In this way, by taking the second mounting rail 233 as the guiding path of the second mounting portion 231, it is ensured that it moves smoothly along the predetermined track, avoiding deviation or shaking. Such a linear guide rail can reduce friction, so that the second mounting portion 231 can easily and stably move over a long distance. In order to transmit the power of the second driving structure 232 to the first mounting portion 221, a synchronous belt or a gear transmission device can be used. Specifically, in an embodiment, the second driving structure 232 comprises a second motor 234, the output end of the second motor 234 is provided with a second driving tooth 35, the second driving tooth 35 engages a second toothed belt 236, the second toothed belt 236 engages a second driven tooth 237, and the second toothed belt 236 is fixedly connected with the second mounting portion 231. In this way, by controlling the second motor 234 to start running, the second driving tooth 35 at the output end of the second motor 234 drives the second toothed belt 236 to move, and as the second toothed belt 236 moves, it drives the second driven tooth 237 to rotate, thereby causing the second mounting portion 231 fixedly connected therewith to move along the second horizontal direction. Since the second toothed belt 236 is fixedly connected with the second mounting portion 231, the second mounting portion 231 will move linearly as the second toothed belt 236 moves, thereby achieving precise displacement in the second horizontal direction. By driving a series of transmission components through the second motor 234, the smooth and precise movement of the second mounting portion 231 in the second horizontal direction can be accurately controlled.
[0059] As Figure 7As shown, in order to improve the stability of the pickup unit 21 running in the up-down direction, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 24 further comprises a lifting frame, which is mounted on the second mounting portion 231, and has a lifting mounting rail 243 movably mounted in the up-down direction, the mounting seat 241 is mounted on the lifting mounting rail 243, and the lifting driving structure 242 drives the mounting seat 241 to move in the up-down direction. In this way, by taking the lifting mounting rail 243 as the guide path of the mounting seat 241, it is ensured that it moves smoothly along the predetermined track and avoids deviation or shaking. Such a linear guide rail can reduce friction, so that the mounting seat 241 can easily and stably move over a long distance. In order to transmit the power of the lifting driving structure 242 to the mounting seat 241, a synchronous belt or a gear transmission device can be used. Specifically, in one embodiment, the lifting driving structure 242 comprises a lifting motor 246, the output end of the motor is provided with a lifting driving gear 247, the lifting driving gear 247 is engaged with a lifting rack 248, and the lifting rack 248 is arranged on the mounting seat 241 in the up-down direction. In this way, by controlling the lifting motor 246 to start running, the lifting driving gear 247 at the output end of the motor drives the lifting rack 248 to move, and as the lifting driving gear 247 rotates, the lifting rack 248 moves linearly, thereby driving the mounting seat 241 to move in the up-down direction. By driving a series of transmission components through the lifting motor 246, the smooth and accurate movement of the mounting seat 241 in the up-down direction can be accurately controlled.
[0060] To further accelerate the moving speed of the pickup portion 21 in the up-down direction, in an embodiment, the lifting mechanism 24 further comprises a telescopic portion 244 and a telescopic driving structure 245, the telescopic portion 244 is arranged between the lifting mounting rail 243 and the mounting portion 26 in the up-down direction, and the telescopic driving structure 245 is used to drive the mounting base 241 to move in the up-down direction. In this way, by controlling the operation of the telescopic driving structure 245, the telescopic portion 244 can be driven to quickly extend or contract, so that the mounting base 241 quickly reaches the approximate target height. Among them, the telescopic portion 244 can be composed of multiple telescopic guide rails or rod members, which can realize fast telescopic action while maintaining stability. The telescopic driving structure 245 drives the telescopic portion 244 to perform fast telescopic motion, which can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod or other forms of fast driving device, the specific selection depends on the application scene and performance requirements. For example, when the pickup portion 21 needs to move in the up-down direction, it can be quickly lifted to the approximate position by the telescopic portion 244, and the remaining distance to the target position can be driven by the lifting driving structure 242 to drive the mounting base 241 to move in the up-down direction, thereby improving the driving speed of the pickup portion 21 between different heights.
[0061] It can be understood that when the pickup portion 21 moves to the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11, it still needs to enter the test chamber 11 through the entrance 111, although the pickup portion 21 can be driven to enter or leave the test chamber 11 by the second movement mechanism 23, but driving the second movement mechanism 23 will cause excessive energy consumption, therefore, in an embodiment, the entrance 111 is located at one side of the test chamber 11 in the second horizontal direction; the carrying device 2 comprises a mounting base 241 movably arranged in the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction and the up-down direction, and the pickup portion 21 is mounted on the mounting base 241; the pickup portion 21 is movably connected to the mounting base 241 in the second horizontal direction, and the carrying device further comprises a third driving structure 25, the third driving structure 25 is used to drive the pickup portion 21 to move in the second horizontal direction. In this way, since the third driving structure 25 only drives the pickup portion 21 to enter or leave the test chamber 11, the mass of the unnecessary moving part is reduced, which is beneficial to save energy and improve mechanical efficiency. The third driving structure 25 can adopt a linear motor module, a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, which is not particularly limited here.
[0062] It can be understood that during a test process, the tested cleaning robot in the test chamber 11 needs to be taken out and the untested cleaning robot needs to be put in. To this end, in an embodiment, the mounting portion 26 is arranged on the mounting seat 241 and can rotate about an axis in the up-down direction, and the fourth driving structure 27 drives the mounting portion 26 to rotate. The pickup portion 21 is provided in at least two, and the two pickup portions 21 are mounted on the mounting portion 26 through a movable piece 28, the movable piece 28 is movably connected to the mounting portion 26 in a second direction, and the third driving structure 25 drives the movable piece 28 to move. In this way, one pickup portion 21 is located at the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11, ready to take out the tested cleaning robot; the other pickup portion 21 picks up the untested cleaning robot from the feeding station 101, one pickup portion 21 enters the test chamber 11, grabs the tested cleaning robot, and carries it back to the entrance 111, the fourth driving structure 27 is started to drive the mounting portion 26 to rotate, so that the positions of the two pickup portions 21 are exchanged. The other pickup portion 21 enters the test chamber 11 and places the untested cleaning robot in the test chamber 11. Through the rotation of the mounting portion 26 and the fourth driving structure 27, the rapid exchange and synchronous operation between the two pickup portions 21 are realized, and the carrying efficiency of the carrying device 2 is improved. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the pickup portion 21 can be provided in multiple, and the multiple pickup portions 21 are distributed on the mounting portion 26, and the carrying efficiency of the carrying device 2 can be further improved by adjusting the angle of rotation of the mounting portion 26 each time. For example, when the tested cleaning robot needs to be taken out and the untested cleaning robot needs to be put in. One idle pickup portion 21 can be extended into the test chamber 11 through the third driving structure 25 to pick up the tested cleaning robot, and then the third driving structure 25 drives the pickup portion 21 to move away from the test chamber 11. At this time, the fourth driving structure 27 works to drive the mounting portion 26 to rotate, so that the third driving structure 25 connected with the mounting portion 26 rotates together to the other pickup portion 21 to pick up the untested cleaning robot and align the entrance of the test chamber 11. Then the third driving structure 25 works to drive the pickup portion 21 to enter the test chamber 11 to place the untested cleaning robot, and the third driving structure 25 drives the connecting piece 28 to make the pickup portion 21 leave the test chamber 11, so as to complete the replacement of the cleaning robot.
[0063] Since the single test time of the sweeping robot is greater than the conveying time of the conveying device 2, in an embodiment, the test chamber 11 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of test chambers 11 are arranged in interval along at least one of the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction or the up-down direction. In this way, by providing the plurality of test chambers 11, by increasing the number of test chambers 11, the conveying device 2 can efficiently switch between different test chambers 11, avoid idle waiting time, and improve the overall utilization rate of the equipment. At the same time, the tests of multiple sweeping robots are carried out, thereby greatly shortening the overall test period. Even if the test time in a single test chamber 11 is long, multiple test chambers 11 can work in parallel to ensure that there is a sweeping robot in the test state at any time.
[0064] It can be understood that the test chamber 11 can detect the trajectory and sound of the sweeping robot, and for this purpose, in an embodiment, the detection module includes an image collection unit and a sound collection unit, which are arranged along the test chamber 11. In this way, the trajectory of the sweeping robot during operation can be detected by the image collection unit, thereby realizing automatic detection. By installing the sound collection unit in the test chamber 11, the noise level of the sweeping robot during operation can be monitored in real time. The sound collection unit can capture sound signals through a high-sensitivity microphone or a sound level meter. In order to reduce the influence of the external environment on the sound in the test chamber 11, in an embodiment, the test chamber 11 is provided with a sound insulation structure. In this way, the sound insulation structure can effectively isolate external noise and reduce internal sound reflection and echo, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. The sound insulation structure can be wrapped with high-efficiency sound insulation materials such as sound-absorbing cotton, sound insulation boards or composite sound insulation films, or by using double or multi-layer wall structure, and filling sound-absorbing materials between layers to form an effective sound insulation barrier.
[0065] In an embodiment, the testing device 1 further comprises a controller, and the image collection unit and the sound collection unit are electrically connected to the controller. In this way, the data collected by the image collection unit and the sound collection unit can be obtained by the controller for calculation, and it is determined whether the sweeping robot meets the preset standard. The controller can be electrically connected to the image collection unit and the sound collection unit through a WiFi or Bluetooth module. In addition, the running track of the sweeping robot can also be controlled by an electrical signal. In an embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to the sweeping robot. The controller can communicate with the sweeping robot through a WiFi or Bluetooth module to control the sweeping robot to move in the testing room 11. In order to reduce the influence of the external environment on the signal in the testing room 11, in an embodiment, a signal shielding structure is arranged in the testing room 11. In this way, the signal shielding structure can effectively reduce the interference of external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other wireless signals (such as the signal interference of the controller of another testing room 11), and ensure the communication stability and data accuracy during the test. The signal shielding structure can be made of metal materials (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) on the walls, ceiling and floor of the testing room 11 to form a fully enclosed metal shielding layer. The metal shell can reflect or absorb external electromagnetic waves to prevent them from entering the testing room 11. The metal shielding layer is based on the principle of Faraday cage. The metal shielding layer can effectively block external electromagnetic interference, and also prevent internal signals from leaking out, reducing mutual interference between different test signals. Alternatively, a wave-absorbing material is coated on the inner wall of the testing room 11 to reduce the reflection and echo of internal signals and optimize the signal transmission quality.
[0066] It can be understood that the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11 is for the passage of the picking-up part 21 and the swept floor robot picked up by the picking-up part 21, and therefore, in an embodiment, the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11 is covered with a movable door. In this way, the entrance 111 of the test chamber 11 is covered with a movable door. Not only does it make the test environment in the test chamber 11 closed, but it also ensures that the swept floor robot cannot leave the test chamber 11, and even if there is a problem with the swept floor robot, it can stay in the test chamber 11, and be unloaded by the conveying device 2. The movable mode of the door body can include, but is not limited to, a sliding door (adopting a sliding design, the door body moves horizontally along the guide rail, occupying small space, suitable for narrow working area. The sliding door can be opened and closed by electric or manual mode.), a hinged door (adopting a hinge connection, the door body can rotate outwardly or inwardly to open, providing a larger passing space, suitable for situations that need frequent access. The hinged door is usually equipped with air springs or other power-assisted devices for easy operation.), or a roller shutter door (composed of multiple vertically arranged curtain pieces, which can be quickly lifted and lowered by motor drive, especially suitable for situations that need to be quickly opened and closed and maintain good sealing performance.).
[0067] In an embodiment, the feeding station 101 is provided with at least two feeding stations, including an upper feeding station 102 and a lower feeding station 103. In this way, the untested sweeping robots can be provided through the upper feeding station 102, and the tested sweeping robots can be taken away through the lower feeding station 103, so that the sweeping robots are managed and transported separately, reducing the possibility of missed or retested sweeping robots. In an embodiment, the sweeping robot testing device 100 further comprises a first conveying track 3 and a second conveying track 4 arranged in sequence along a second horizontal direction, and a blocking part 5 arranged between the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4, a section of the first conveying track 3 adjacent to the blocking part 5 is located at the upper feeding station 102, and a section of the second conveying track 4 adjacent to the blocking part 5 is located at the lower feeding station 103. In this way, by placing the untested sweeping robots on the first conveying track 3, the untested sweeping robots are conveyed to the upper feeding station 102 along with the movement of the first conveying track 3, gradually approaching the blocking part 5, and finally stopping on the blocking part 5, preventing the untested sweeping robots from directly entering the lower feeding station 103. The carrying device 2 transports the tested sweeping robots to the second conveying track 4 of the lower feeding station 103, and the second conveying track 4 takes away the tested sweeping robots to leave a vacant position for the next time. Among them, the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4 can be provided as a conveyor belt or a transmission roller, which is not particularly limited here. In order to increase the tightness of the connection between the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4, in an embodiment, the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4 are integrally provided. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in an embodiment, the blocking part 5 can be provided with a position sensor, so as to control the carrying device 2 to perform the feeding work.
