[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0017] This utility model discloses a sweeping and mopping robot, which mainly includes a four-wheel drive vehicle 1, a sweeping device 2, and a mopping device 3. Both the sweeping device 2 and the mopping device 3 are mounted on the four-wheel drive vehicle 1. The sweeping device 2 includes a protective cover 21, a sweeping brush 22, a connecting channel 23, a garbage bin 24, and a suction device 25. The protective cover 21 is installed at the bottom of the four-wheel drive vehicle 1 with its opening facing downwards. An opening 26 for garbage to enter is provided on the front side of the protective cover 21, and a suction port 27 is provided in the middle of the protective cover 21. The sweeping brush 22 is installed inside the protective cover 21. Brushes 22 are located on both sides of the suction port 27. The cleaning brushes 22 are connected to a micro motor installed in the four-wheel drive vehicle 1. The dustbin 24 is installed on the four-wheel drive vehicle 1. The suction port 27 and the dustbin 24 are connected through the connecting channel 23. The suction device 25 is installed on the side wall of the dustbin 24. The use of the four-wheel drive vehicle 1 ensures that the robot can operate stably on various floor materials. It not only provides strong power, enabling it to easily cope with complex terrains such as carpets and tiles, but also enhances the stability of the robot and avoids tipping over or getting stuck during cleaning. The suction device 25 uses a high-power fan.
[0018] This robot integrates sweeping and mopping functions into one device. The protective cover 21 prevents debris swept by the brush 22 from escaping the cleaning area and also protects the brush from harming people or other objects. The high-speed rotating brush 22 precisely sweeps debris into the suction area, where the powerful suction generated by the suction device 25 draws the swept debris into the dustbin 24. This clever integration of sweeping and mopping functions into a single robot significantly improves cleaning efficiency, reduces manual intervention time, greatly minimizes user steps, and provides a superior and more convenient home cleaning experience.
[0019] The entire vehicle uses high-strength, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum alloy. Advanced technologies such as topology optimization and additive manufacturing are used to innovatively design the robot structure, remove redundant materials, and reduce structural weight.
[0020] In this embodiment, the mopping device 3 includes a smart nozzle 31, a water tank 32, and a mop head 33. The smart nozzle 31 is installed at the bottom of the four-wheel drive vehicle 1, and the water tank 32 is installed on the four-wheel drive vehicle 1. The smart nozzle 31 and the water tank 32 are connected through a water supply pipe and a micro pump. The mop head 33 is detachably installed at the bottom of the rear end of the four-wheel drive vehicle 1. Through a precise water pump system, water is sprayed evenly and appropriately onto the ground to wet it. The mop head 33 removes stains from the ground and absorbs wastewater, ensuring cleaning effectiveness without damaging the ground. The mop head 33 is replaced and cleaned regularly.
[0021] In this embodiment, the four-wheel drive vehicle 1 includes a frame 11, Mecanum wheels 12, and drive motors 13. The four Mecanum wheels 12 are respectively mounted on both sides of the frame 11 via short shafts. The four drive motors 13 are all mounted inside the frame 11, and the Mecanum wheels 12 are connected to the drive motors 13 via transmission. Each wheel is equipped with an independent DC drive motor, which can precisely adjust the speed and torque output.
[0022] In this embodiment, the Mecanum wheel 12 and the drive motor 13 are connected by belt drive, allowing for omnidirectional movement and improving operational flexibility.
[0023] In this embodiment, the cleaning brush 22 is equipped with multiple fan blades to prevent debris from being swept into the suction area, which would result in too much garbage being sucked in at once and clogging the channel.
[0024] In this embodiment, the mop head 33 is a polyvinyl alcohol cotton strip with good water absorption.
[0025] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 32 is provided with a flip-top cover for easy water filling.
[0026] Work process:
[0027] The four-wheel drive vehicle 1 ensures stable operation of the robot on various floor surfaces, providing powerful performance to easily handle complex terrains such as carpets and tiles. It also enhances the robot's stability, preventing tipping or jamming during cleaning. A micro-motor drives the cleaning brush 22, whose multiple blades gradually sweep debris into the suction area. The suction device 25 then draws the debris into the dustbin 24. A protective cover 21 prevents debris swept by the brushes from leaving the cleaning area and protects the brushes from harming people or other objects. A sophisticated water pump system sprays water evenly and appropriately onto the floor, wetting it. The mop head 33 removes stains and absorbs wastewater, ensuring effective cleaning without damaging the floor. The mop head 33 is replaced and cleaned periodically.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
