Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cleaning robot with visual recognition function. Background Technology

[0002] A typical robotic vacuum cleaner includes a casing and a roller brush assembly, a dustbin, and a walking mechanism mounted on the casing. The roller brush assembly collects dust from the floor, the dustbin stores the collected dust, and the walking mechanism propels the robot. The robotic vacuum cleaner can then clean a designated area, significantly freeing up users' hands. After collecting the debris, the robot moves to a base station via its walking mechanism. The base station then transfers the debris from the smaller dustbin to a larger dust bin through an exhaust duct.

[0003] Currently, cleaning robots typically use various visual recognition devices for road surface recognition, such as cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and infrared ranging sensors. However, this presents the following problems in actual operation:

[0004] 1. When a robot vacuum cleaner is sweeping, dust usually floats up and adheres to the transparent shell of the vision recognition device. Over time, a layer of dust will accumulate on the shell of the vision recognition device. This layer of dust will block the internal vision recognition device, preventing the robot vacuum cleaner from measuring the road surface in real time through the recognition device, thus affecting the robot vacuum cleaner's sweeping work.

[0005] 2. Dust often adheres to the outer shell of the robot's visual recognition device, requiring regular manual wiping, as it cannot clean the outer shell of the visual recognition device itself. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0007] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning robot with visual recognition function, so as to solve the technical problems that when the current cleaning robot is in use, dust will adhere to the outer shell of the visual recognition device, causing the internal device to be blocked by dust and unable to recognize external objects, and the side brush is easily entangled with hair during cleaning, causing the side brush main shaft to become entangled with more and more hair and unable to work.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A cleaning robot with visual recognition function includes a body, a visual recognition box fixedly installed on the top of the body, a cleaning mechanism fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the visual recognition box, and an anti-tangling side brush mechanism fixedly installed on the bottom of the body.

[0010] The cleaning mechanism includes a motor, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the visual recognition box cavity. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor via a reducer. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a carriage is slidably installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the cleaning mechanism further includes a rotating rod, the bottom end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the visual recognition box, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the slide, and an extension frame is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod. The front end of the extension frame passes through the visual recognition box and extends to the outside of the visual recognition box. A connecting plate is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod via a torsion hinge, and a tear-off cleaning cloth is fixedly installed on the back of the connecting plate.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the torque hinge includes a torque box, with one end of each of the two torque boxes fixedly connected to the outer surface of the extension frame. A hinge rod is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the torque box, and a torque spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the hinge rod. One end of the torque spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hinge rod, and the other end of the torque spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the torque box.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, the tear-off cleaning cloth includes a napped surface, the front of which is fixedly connected to the back of a connecting plate, a hook surface is provided on the front of the napped surface, and a brush is fixedly installed on the back of the hook surface.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, the anti-tangling side brush mechanism includes a rotating rod, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the machine body, a cutting blade fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod, an extension rod bolted to the outer surface of the rotating rod, and a cleaning brush fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension rod.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, the anti-tangling side brush mechanism also includes an air suction pipe, the outer surface of which is connected to the interior of the machine body.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model improves the cleaning robot's ability to clean the visual recognition device by incorporating a design that allows the robot to clean itself. This is achieved through the coordinated use of the motor and rotating shaft with the connecting rod and carriage, the carriage and rotating rod with the extension frame and torque hinge, and the torque hinge and connecting plate with the tear-off cleaning cloth. This process effectively cleans the dust adhering to the visual recognition box, preventing the box from becoming covered in dust and affecting the visual recognition device's external measurements, thus hindering the robot's cleaning operation.

[0018] 2. This utility model adds an anti-tangling design to the side brush of the cleaning robot. By using the rotating rod in conjunction with the cutting blade, bolts and extension rod, the hair wrapped around the extension rod is cut off. Then, by using the suction pipe in conjunction with the machine body, the broken hair is sucked into the collection box inside the machine body, thereby avoiding the problem of a large amount of hair getting tangled in the side brush, causing the side brush to become tangled and unable to rotate.

[0032] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a motor 31. The bottom of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the vision recognition box 2. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft 32 via a reducer. A connecting rod 33 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 32. A slide 34 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the connecting rod 33.

[0033] Motor 31 is electrically connected to an external power source and is controlled by an external PLC programming program.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 3 also includes a rotating rod 35. The bottom end of the rotating rod 35 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the visual recognition box 2. The outer surface of the rotating rod 35 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the slide 34. An extension frame 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 35. The front end of the extension frame 36 passes through the visual recognition box 2 and extends to the outside of the visual recognition box 2. A connecting plate 38 is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 35 through a torsion hinge 37. A tear-off cleaning cloth 39 is fixedly installed on the back of the connecting plate 38.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the torque hinge 37 includes a torque box 371. One end of each of the two torque boxes 371 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the extension frame 36. A hinge rod 372 is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the torque box 371. A torque spring 373 is sleeved on the outer surface of the hinge rod 372. One end of the torque spring 373 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hinge rod 372, and the other end of the torque spring 373 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the torque box 371.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tear-off cleaning cloth 39 includes a nap 391, the front of the nap 391 is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting plate 38, the front of the nap 391 is provided with a hook 392, and a brush 393 is fixedly installed on the back of the hook 392.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the anti-tangling side brush mechanism 4 includes a rotating rod 41, the outer surface of the rotating rod 41 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the body 1, a cutting blade 42 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 41, an extension rod 44 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating rod 41 by bolts 43, and a cleaning brush 45 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension rod 44.

[0038] The rotating rod 41 is connected to an external drive device, which causes the rotating rod 41 to rotate.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the anti-tangling side brush mechanism 4 also includes an air suction pipe 46, the outer surface of which is connected to the interior of the body 1.
