Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides an intelligent facade cleaning robot, including a shell 1 and negative pressure suction cups 16. Drive wheels 2 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front sidewall of the shell 1. A protective shell 9 is fixedly installed on the left sidewall of the shell 1. Two first electric push rods 13 and two second electric push rods 14 are fixedly installed on the left sidewall of the protective shell 9. U-shaped frames 15 are fixedly installed on the output shafts of the first electric push rods 13 and second electric push rods 14. The negative pressure suction cups 16 are respectively fixedly installed inside the U-shaped frames 15. The first electric push rods 13 and second electric push rods 14 are staggered. A support frame 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the protective shell 9. A cleaning roller 12 is provided inside the protective shell 9. Rotating rods 8 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cleaning roller 12, and the rotating rods 8 are rotatably connected to the inside of the sidewall of the support frame 10. A drive motor 11 is fixedly installed on the sidewall of the support frame 10. The output shaft of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 8 through the inside of the side wall of the support frame 10. When the robot body moves, the drive wheel 2 moves to the part that needs to be cleaned, and at the same time, the first electric push rod 13 opens, causing the U-shaped frame 15 on the first electric push rod 13 to move upward, and the negative pressure suction cup 16 on its position to adhere to the side wall of the part that needs to be cleaned. Then, the drive wheel 2 moves upward, causing the first electric push rod 13 to retract, and at the same time, the second electric push rod 14 is also in the open state until the position of the first electric push rod 13 is completely reset. At this time, the negative pressure suction cup 16 on the second electric push rod 14 adheres to the glass. Then, the negative pressure suction cup 16 on the first electric push rod 13 is depressurized. This cycle is repeated, which can conveniently enable the robot body to move stably.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] To facilitate cleaning, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, a water tank 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the housing 1. A water pump 4 is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the water tank 3. A water pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water pump 4. A connecting pipe 6 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the left end of the water pipe 5. Multiple branch pipes 7 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the connecting pipe 6. The lower ends of the branch pipes 7 all enter the interior of the protective housing 9 through the side wall of the protective housing 9. A scraper 18 is fixedly installed on the lower right side wall of the protective housing 9. A water storage tank 20 is fixedly installed between the protective housing 9 and the housing 1. An inlet 21 is provided inside the right side wall of the protective housing 9 and is connected to the interior of the water storage tank 20. When cleaning, the drive motor 11 is turned on to make the cleaning roller 12 rotate and clean the surface of the glass. At the same time, the water pump 4 is turned on so that water enters the branch pipes 7 through the water pipe 5 and the connecting pipe 6, which can conveniently spray water onto the cleaning roller 12 for cleaning.

[0023] Example 3

[0024] To facilitate scraping the glass surface and collect water easily, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 2-3 As shown, a drain pipe 17 is fixedly installed inside the front side wall of the water storage tank 20, and a valve 19 is fixedly installed inside the drain pipe 17. The bottom of the negative pressure suction cup 16 is horizontal with the bottom of the drive wheel 2. During the cleaning operation, the water bucket scraper 18 attached to the glass is scraped down into the inlet 21 and then enters the water storage tank 20. Finally, the valve 19 is opened to allow the water inside to be discharged through the drain pipe 17.

[0025] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when using the intelligent facade cleaning robot, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, when the robot body moves, the drive wheel 2 moves to the area to be cleaned, and simultaneously the first electric push rod 13 opens, causing the U-shaped frame 15 on the first electric push rod 13 to move upwards, and the negative pressure suction cup 16 on its position to adhere to the side wall of the area to be cleaned. Then, the drive wheel 2 moves upwards, causing the first electric push rod 13 to retract, and the second electric push rod 14 is also in the open state, until the position of the first electric push rod 13 is completely reset. At this time, the negative pressure suction cup 16 on the second electric push rod 14 adheres to the glass, and then the first electric push rod 13... The negative pressure suction cup 16 on the push rod 13 reduces pressure and cycles in sequence, which can easily make the robot body move stably. When cleaning, the drive motor 11 is turned on to make the cleaning roller 12 rotate and clean the surface of the glass. At the same time, the water pump 4 is turned on to make water enter the branch pipe 7 through the water pipe 5 and the connecting pipe 6, which can easily spray water onto the cleaning roller 12 for cleaning. Then, the water bucket scraper 18 attached to the glass is scraped off into the inlet 21 and then into the water storage tank 20. Finally, the valve 19 is opened to drain the water inside through the drain pipe 17.
