Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweeping robot technology, and in particular to a sweeping robot lens module. Background Technology
[0002] A robotic vacuum cleaner is an intelligent cleaning device that can move automatically on the ground without requiring full human intervention. It can clean up various types of debris using side brushes, roller brushes, and powerful suction. Some robotic vacuum cleaners also have a mopping function, which can help people automatically complete the floor cleaning work, effectively reducing the burden of housework, saving people time and energy, and making the cleaning process easier and more efficient.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN221750298U, which discloses a replaceable lens for a robotic vacuum cleaner. The device includes a housing comprising the robotic vacuum cleaner body, with omnidirectional wheels movably connected to the bottom of the body. This invention allows for the fixing and unfixing of the mounting block by inserting a mounting block and the lens body into a mounting groove, and by engaging and disengaging the locking block and locking slot. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the lens body. Simultaneously, pressing the movable block allows it to squeeze the connecting block, thus pushing the lens body out of the mounting groove. This design ensures the stability of the lens body installation while enabling rapid replacement, thereby guaranteeing the lens body's perception of the surrounding environment and obstacle recognition, improving the robotic vacuum cleaner's performance, and increasing lens replacement efficiency, thus reducing downtime. However, during use, dust generated during cleaning can easily obscure the lens, preventing the camera from properly identifying objects, reducing the device's practicality and failing to meet user needs.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a vacuum cleaner lens module, including a housing 1. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the front bottom of the housing 1, and a support platform 4 is fixedly connected to the front top of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 3 passes through the housing 1 and the support platform 4 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 5. The rotation of the motor 3 drives the rotation of the turntable 5. A support column 6 is fixedly connected to the front top of the turntable 5. A fixed seat 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the support platform 4. A connecting frame 12 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed seat 8. A hollow plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting frame 12. The support column 6 is slidably connected to the interior of the hollow plate 7, allowing the support column 6 to move inside the hollow plate 7. A concave plate 9 is fixedly connected to the front top of the support platform 4. Fixed columns 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the interior of the concave plate 9. Cleaning plates 14 are rotatably connected to the outer middle of the column 10. Straight grooves 11 are opened on the top of the two cleaning plates 14. The inner side of the two straight grooves 11 is slidably connected to the groove column 13. The top of the two groove column 13 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the connecting frame 12 respectively. The groove column 13 reciprocates along the groove of the cleaning plate 14. The lower middle part of the inner side of the two cleaning plates 14 is fixedly connected to the first cleaning cotton 15. The front side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a slot 26. The inner middle part of the slot 26 is provided with a lens 16. The front side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a disassembly mechanism 2. The disassembly mechanism 2 is used to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the lens 16 of the device. The bottom of the outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to the four sides of the bottom of the outer shell 1. The inner side of the multiple steering wheel housings 21 is rotatably connected to the universal wheel 22. The rotation of the universal wheel 22 drives the movement of the robot.
[0033] Specifically, motor 3 drives turntable 5 to rotate, turntable 5 drives support column 6 connected to it to rotate, support column 6 drives hollow plate 7 to move, hollow plate 7 pushes connecting frame 12 to move, fixed seat 8 restricts the movement direction of connecting frame 12, and because connecting frame 12 is connected to slot column 13, slot column 13 moves in the slot opened at the top of cleaning plate 14. When connecting frame 12 moves, it drives cleaning plate 14 to rotate along the outside of robot. First cleaning cotton 15 on cleaning plate 14 cleans lens 16. Universal wheel 22 facilitates robot movement, improves the practicality of the device, and can meet the needs of users.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a rotating rod 201, which is rotatably connected to the right front end of the inner side of the outer casing 1. A worm gear 202 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod 201. The rotation of the rotating rod 201 drives the rotation of the worm gear 202. A support rod 204 is rotatably connected to the front inside the outer casing 1. A worm wheel 203 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the support rod 204. The worm wheel 203 meshes with the worm gear 202. The rotation of the worm gear 202 drives the rotation of the worm wheel 203. A gear 205 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the support rod 204. The worm wheel 203 drives the gear 205 through the support rod 204. The first limiting block 207 is slidably connected to the lower inner side of the slot 26. The rack 206 is fixedly connected to the rear right side of the first limiting block 207. The rack 206 meshes with the gear 205. The rotation of the gear 205 drives the rack 206 to move. The second limiting block 208 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the slot 26. The inner dimensions of the first limiting block 207 and the second limiting block 208 are matched with the size of the lens 16. The right end of the rotating rod 201 passes through the outer shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the knob 25. The rotation of the knob 25 drives the rotation of the rotating rod 201.
[0035] Specifically, the rotation of the rotating rod 201 causes the worm gear 202 to rotate. Because the worm gear 202 meshes with the worm wheel 203, the worm wheel 203 rotates accordingly as the worm gear 202 rotates. The support rod 204 also rotates accordingly as the worm wheel 203 rotates, which in turn drives the gear 205 to rotate. Because the gear 205 meshes with the rack 206, the rack 206 is displaced accordingly as the gear 205 rotates, thus enabling the disassembly of the first limiting block 207, facilitating the disassembly of the lens 16 and reducing the workload of the staff. The knob 25 is connected to the rotating rod 201, facilitating the rotation of the rotating rod 201.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A controller 24 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the outer shell 1. The controller 24 is electrically connected to the motor 3. The controller 24 can control the operation of the motor 3. Plastic handles 17 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outer shell 1. Protective sleeves 18 are fixedly connected to the outer middle of the plastic handles 17. The plastic handles 17 can facilitate the transfer of the robot.
[0037] Specifically, the controller 24 can control the operation of the motor 3, which is an R260 micro DC motor. The plastic handle 17 makes the robot easier to move, and the protective cover 18 makes the plastic handle 17 more comfortable to hold.
[0038] Reference Figure 2The bottom rear side of the outer casing 1 is provided with a through groove 27, and a second cleaning cotton 23 is rotatably connected inside the through groove 27. The second cleaning cotton 23 is conducive to cleaning water stains on the ground. Rotating columns 20 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the bottom center of the outer casing 1. A brush 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating column 20. The brush 19 can better sweep up the garbage on the ground.
[0039] Specifically, the through groove 27 provides sufficient space for the installation of the second cleaning cotton 23, which can effectively clean liquids. The rotation of the rotating column 20 drives the rotation of the brush 19, which can effectively clean solid particles.
[0040] Working principle: The rotation of motor 3 drives the rotation of turntable 5, and the support column 6 fixedly connected to turntable 5 rotates accordingly. Since the support column 6 and hollow plate 7 can slide, and hollow plate 7 is connected to connecting frame 12, the connecting frame 12 also moves accordingly. Since the connecting frame 12 passes through the fixed seat 8, the connecting frame 12 can only move back and forth along the front of the robot. Since the connecting frame 12 is connected to the slot column 13, the slot column 13 moves in a fixed direction in the slot at the top of cleaning plate 14, thereby driving cleaning plate 14 to rotate along the outside of the robot. At this time, the first cleaning cotton 15 on cleaning plate 14 can clean lens 16.
[0041] Furthermore, when the rotating rod 201 rotates, the worm 202 also rotates. Since the worm 202 meshes with the worm wheel 203, the worm wheel 203 will also rotate when the worm 202 rotates. Since the support rod 204 is connected to the worm wheel 203, the support rod 204 will also rotate when the worm wheel 203 rotates. Since the gear 205 is connected to the support rod 204, the gear 205 will also rotate. Since the gear 205 meshes with the rack 206, the rack 206 will also move when the gear 205 rotates. Since the rack 206 is connected to the first limiting block 207, the rack 206 will drive the first limiting block 207 to move, which makes it easier to disassemble and replace the lens 16.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
