Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweeping robot technology, and in particular to a top cover for a sweeping robot. Background Technology

[0002] Robotic vacuum cleaners are a type of smart home appliance that can automatically clean floors in a room using a certain level of artificial intelligence. They typically use a combination of brushing and vacuuming to collect debris into their own dustbin, thus completing the floor cleaning function.

[0003] Currently, many families often use robotic vacuum cleaners to clean their floors. While existing robotic vacuum cleaners can achieve basic floor cleaning, their outer shells are usually fixed with bolts or clips. This makes it difficult for operators to disassemble the vacuum cleaner when cleaning the outer shell, which hinders the cleaning process. Furthermore, the clips may wear or break due to external impacts or repeated use during frequent opening and closing, resulting in an unstable connection between the top cover and the main body. Summary of the Invention
