[0042] Cleaning robots (such as robotic vacuum cleaners) consist of a base, fan, waste tank, drive wheels, nozzle, and water tank. These components are mounted on the base, and the drive wheels contact the ground, moving the base and consequently the fan, waste tank, nozzle, and water tank for cleaning. Existing cleaning equipment often has limited space for the waste tank, resulting in a small capacity. This small capacity means the cleaning robot needs to empty the tank frequently after a short cleaning session, leading to shorter cleaning times and less effective cleaning.

[0043] This utility model proposes a host for use in cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment including a sludge storage tank 10.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the main unit includes a base 100, a fan 200, a battery 300, casters 400, and two drive wheels 500. The base 100 has a mounting position 110 for mounting a sludge storage tank 10. The fan 200, battery 300, casters 400, and two drive wheels 500 are all mounted on the base 100. The fan 200, battery 300, and casters 400 are located at the front of the mounting position 110, and the two drive wheels 500 are located on the left and right sides of the mounting position 110, respectively. In other words, the fan 200, battery 300, casters 400, and two drive wheels 500 are arranged around the mounting position 110, so that the mounting position 110 can form an independent space on the base 100. This independent space is used for the installation of the sludge storage tank 10. At the same time, the two drive wheels 500 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the mounting position 110, and the fan 200, battery 300, and casters 400 are all located on the front side of the mounting position 110. In this way, the problem of placing all components on the sides of the mounting position 110, resulting in a large width of the base 100, can be avoided. At the same time, this arrangement can make the mounting position 110 on the seat 100 as large as possible. When the mounting position 110 is as large as possible, the structure of the sludge storage tank 10 installed on the mounting position 110 can also be as large as possible, thereby making the capacity of the sludge storage tank 10 as large as possible, solving the problem of the small capacity of the sludge storage tank 10 in the prior art. It should be noted that the two drive wheels 500 and the universal wheels 400 can form a three-point support, so that the seat 100 can be placed stably on the ground.

[0045] It should be noted that the two drive wheels 500 are symmetrically arranged about the left and right center lines of the main unit, and the omnidirectional wheels 400 are arranged about the left and right center lines of the main unit, which enables the main unit to move smoothly.

[0046] In one embodiment, to enable better communication between the blower 200 and the sludge storage tank 10, while ensuring that the blower 200 does not occupy the installation position 110 (i.e., does not occupy the installation position 110 of the sludge storage tank 10), the main unit also includes an air inlet 600. The air inlet 600 is located at the installation position 110, and the air inlet end of the blower is connected to the air inlet 600 through a first pipe 610. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the blower 200 is located on the front side of the installation position 110. By setting the air inlet 600 at the installation position 110, and further, in some embodiments, the sludge storage tank 10 is provided with a structure so that when the sludge storage tank 10 is installed at the installation position 110, the interface in the sludge storage tank 10 can be connected to the air inlet 600, thus enabling communication between the blower 200 and the sludge storage tank 10. In this case, setting the air inlet 600 at the installation position 110 significantly reduces the space occupied by the blower 200 at the installation position 110 compared to setting the blower 200 at the installation position 110. Furthermore, in some embodiments, depending on the height of the air inlet 600, when the sludge storage tank 10 is installed at the mounting position 110; if the air inlet 600 is set relatively high, it can be directly connected to the interface box in the sludge storage tank 10; if the air inlet 600 is set relatively low, a third pipe is provided in the sludge storage tank 10 to connect the air inlet 600 and the interface. It should be noted that, to ensure the sludge storage capacity of the sludge storage tank 10, the interface in the sludge storage tank 10 needs to be positioned relatively high. If the air inlet 600 is set relatively high, a third pipe is not needed in the sludge storage tank 10; if the air inlet 600 is set relatively low, a third pipe is needed in the sludge storage tank 10 to ensure the interface in the sludge storage tank 10 is at a relatively high position. If the interface in the sludge storage tank 10 is positioned low, there will be a problem of the fan 200 sucking in sewage from the sludge storage tank 10. At the same time, setting the air inlet 600 at a relatively low position can also reduce the space occupied by the air inlet 600 at the installation position 110.

[0047] In one embodiment, the air inlet of the fan 200 is oriented downwards, and the air inlet 600 is positioned higher than the air inlet. Furthermore, the air inlet 600 and the air inlet are connected via a first pipe 610. It should be noted that when the fan 200 draws air through the air inlet, the moisture content of the gas is relatively high. This can cause water droplets to condense in the first pipe 610. By oriented the air inlet of the fan 200 downwards, the gas moves upwards as it enters the air inlet. In other words, under the influence of gravitational potential energy, the water droplets condensed in the first pipe 610 are less likely to move upwards and enter the fan 200, thus preventing excessive condensation and potential damage to the fan 200. Conversely, if the air inlet of the fan 200 were oriented upwards, the water droplets condensed in the first pipe 610 would enter the fan 200 through the air inlet, causing damage.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 The mounting position 110 is also provided with an air outlet 700. The air outlet 700 is connected to the air outlet end of the fan 200 through a second pipe 710. It can be understood that the air outlet 700 is located in the mounting position 110. Compared with the air outlet 700 being located at the bottom of the base 100, the base 100 can be made relatively thin, thereby making the size of the main unit relatively small.

[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 The air outlet 700 is located between the left and right center lines of the main unit and one of the drive wheels. It can be understood that the air outlet 700 is offset from the left and right center lines of the main unit. Thus, the second pipe 710 connecting the air outlet 700 can make the mounting position 110 protrude upward on one side of the left and right center lines of the main unit, thereby forming a trend where one side is relatively high and the other side is relatively low. It should be noted that when the sludge storage tank 10 is installed at the mounting position 110, after the sludge storage tank 10 is attached to the mounting position 100, the bottom of the sludge storage tank 10 can form a structure where one side is relatively high and the other side is relatively low (similar to a step). When the sludge storage tank 10 is in use, the sewage can be concentrated in the relatively low area. It can be understood that concentrating the sewage in one place can facilitate the discharge of sewage from the sludge storage tank 10. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a drain outlet can be provided in the relatively low area of ​​the sludge storage tank 10.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3A mounting cavity 30 is formed between the fan 200 and the battery 300. It should be noted that this mounting cavity 30 can accommodate a first pipe 610 connecting the air inlet of the fan 200 to the air inlet 600, a drainage pipe connecting the sludge storage tank 10 (not shown in the figure), or other wiring structures on the main unit, such as the control motherboard. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the caster wheel 400 is positioned below the mounting cavity 30, thus making the main unit structure more compact. It should be noted that because the mounting cavity 30 is formed between the fan 200 and the battery 300, when the caster wheel 400 is positioned below the mounting cavity 30, the mounting cavity 30 provides some clearance for the installation of the caster wheel 400.

[0051] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The main unit also includes a monitoring component 800, which is located between the fan 200 and the battery 300 and is positioned at the front of the mounting position 110. The monitoring component 800 is used to detect obstacles in front of the main unit. In some embodiments, the monitoring component 800 can be installed in the mounting cavity 30, which makes the structure of the main unit more compact, improves the utilization of the front space of the mounting position 110, reduces the space occupation of the mounting position 110, and ensures a larger effective space for the sludge storage tank 10.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 The monitoring element 800 has a portion of its structure located above the fan 200 and the battery 300. Thus, to maximize the utilization of the mounting cavity 30, when a motherboard or other structure is installed within the mounting cavity 30, a portion of the monitoring element 800 can be located within the mounting cavity 30, while another portion is located above the fan 200 and the battery 300, i.e., outside the mounting cavity 300. In one embodiment, the monitoring element 800 is configured as a radar. In some embodiments, the monitoring element 800 can be configured as a camera and a sensor, using a combination of both to achieve monitoring. The sensor primarily measures distance, while the camera primarily acquires image information.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 The main unit also includes a collision plate 900, which is installed on the base 100 and located in front of the fan 200 and the battery 300. In this way, when the main unit moves forward, the collision plate 900 can provide better protection for the fan 200 and the battery 300.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2The 400 casters are positioned on the left and right center lines of the main unit, which allows the main unit to be more balanced when moving.

[0055] This utility model also proposes a cleaning device, see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The cleaning device includes a main unit, a sludge storage tank 10, and a roller brush 20. The specific structure of the main unit is as described in the above embodiments. Since this cleaning device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The sludge storage tank 10 is installed at the mounting position 110, and the roller brush 20 is located between the two drive wheels 500 and behind the two drive wheels 500.

[0056] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
