TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a sweeper robot accessory technical field especially is a sweeper robot automatic door structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The sweeper robot is a kind of intelligent household electrical appliances that can clean ground by brushing and vacuuming, and the existing sweeper robot is provided with water inlet and outlet for the convenience of use, and the water inlet and outlet device is integrated in charging bin, and the front bin is provided with opening for the sweeper robot to enter and exit.
[0003] In order to facilitate the sweeper robot water inlet and outlet to combine the current house planning, most users will place the sweeper robot in balcony or bathroom, and these areas mostly have water inlet and outlet, which is convenient for the sweeper robot to use water, but directly placing it in the balcony or bathroom area may kick the charging bin of the sweeper robot when family members are active, so the charging bin is placed in the cabinet in the corresponding area, such as the balcony cabinet or washstand, which can avoid the sweeper robot from being touched when family members walk and also maintain the beauty of the room.
[0004] Therefore, in order to facilitate the sweeper robot to normally enter and exit when working, a hole is generally formed in the front end of the cabinet, but the cabinet is in a long-term open state, and dust is easily accumulated inside. At present, most users solve this problem by modifying the cabinet where the sweeper robot is located. The sweeper robot enters and exits the position with an upturned door. In order to achieve the effect of automatic opening and closing of the door, an infrared sensing device is installed on the side of the cabinet. When the sweeper robot moves outward and gradually approaches the infrared sensing device, the upturned door rotates to open. When the sweeper robot returns to its original position and passes through the infrared sensing device, the upturned door closes.
[0005] However, for families with pets, when the sweeper robot is working, the front end of the charging bin is in an open state, and pets are easily driven by curiosity to enter the charging bin. Since only one set of infrared sensing device is provided, it cannot be determined whether it is a sweeper robot or a living creature that enters. This will cause the pet to enter, and the infrared sensing device of the upturned door will sense the object approaching and directly close the upturned door. However, when the pet enters, it will not move directly in the direction of the charging bin like the sweeper robot. Therefore, the upturned door is easy to pinch the pet when it rotates to close.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0028] Drive assembly 4 includes the right side fixed support 401 fixed in the right side inside charging bin main body 1, and the side close to the vertical center line of charging bin main body 1 of right side fixed support 401 and left fixed support 3 is all installed with first infrared photoelectric sensor 402 and second infrared photoelectric sensor 403, and first infrared photoelectric sensor 402 is located at the front end of second infrared photoelectric sensor 403, and the middle part of right side fixed support 401 is also fixedly installed with infrared detection sensor 404, and the front end inside right side fixed support 401 is fixedly installed with pressure sensor 407.
[0029] The pressure detection probe on pressure sensor 407 is located at the front end of pressure sensor 407, and spring leaf 405 is welded at the front end of pressure sensor 407, and spring leaf 405 is adapted to the position of the pressure detection probe of pressure sensor 407, and the inside of right side fixed support 401 is also installed with PCB control drive board 408 by screw, and the lower side of PCB control drive board 408 is installed with servo motor 406 fixed in the inside of right side fixed support 401, servo motor 406 is electrically connected with PCB control drive board 408, and PCB control drive board 408 is electrically connected with first infrared photoelectric sensor 402, second infrared photoelectric sensor 403, infrared detection sensor 404 and pressure sensor 407.
[0030] By adopting the above technical scheme, it needs to be particularly noted that the first infrared photoelectric sensor 402 and the second infrared photoelectric sensor 403 on the left fixing support 3 and the right fixing support 401 each include a group of infrared emitters and a group of infrared receivers, the height of which is matched with the height of the sweeping robot and is located at one half of the height of the sweeping robot, which can ensure detection of the sweeping robot, and the principle is that the infrared emitter sends an infrared signal to the corresponding infrared receiver, when the corresponding infrared receiver cannot receive the infrared signal, it indicates that there is an article between them, and when the corresponding infrared receiver can receive the infrared signal, it indicates that there is no article between them, when there is an article between the first infrared photoelectric sensor 402 and the second infrared photoelectric sensor 403 inside the charging bin body 1, the infrared signal will be blocked, and vice versa when the sweeping robot leaves the charging bin body 1, the infrared emitter sends an infrared signal to the corresponding infrared receiver, and the infrared receiver can receive the infrared signal;
[0031] At the same time, it needs to be particularly noted that the infrared detection sensor 404 utilizes the principle that all objects with a temperature higher than 0k emit infrared energy at all times, because different objects absorb and contain different thermal energy, the thermal infrared energy radiated outward is naturally different, by using an infrared detector, the infrared radiation energy of the measured target can be converted into an electrical signal, after a series of processing such as amplification and conversion, the temperature of the object can be accurately determined, and it can be judged whether an object or a pet enters, the infrared detection sensor 404 sends a signal to the inside of the charging bin body 1, and when an animal enters, a signal can be sent to the PCB control driving board 408;
