[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Terms such as “part” or “component” appearing herein can refer to a single part or a combination of multiple parts. Terms such as “installation” or “installation” appearing herein can refer to one component being directly attached to another component or one component being attached to another component via an intermediary. A feature described in one embodiment herein may be applied, alone or in combination with other features, to another embodiment, unless that feature is not applicable in that other embodiment or is otherwise specified.

[0044] See Figures 1-5 The embodiments of this specification can provide an automatic cleaning device, which can be a sweeper or an automatic cleaning device that combines sweeping and mopping, etc., and can automatically complete the cleaning task according to the set program.

[0045] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the automatic cleaning device provided in some embodiments of this specification may include an automatic cleaning device 10. The automatic cleaning device 10 may include a sweeping component 101 disposed at the bottom of the automatic cleaning device 10, a cleaning component 102 disposed above the sweeping component 101, and a scraping component 103. The sweeping component 101 can be used to clean the area to be cleaned by adhesive bonding, and then the scraping component 103 can be used to scrape the sweeping component 101. This method can clean both the area to be cleaned and the sweeping component 101 simultaneously, avoiding the use of a fan and reducing noise. The cleaning component 102 then cleans the sweeping component 101, removing dust and other debris, thus maintaining the sweeping component 101's adhesion to dust and debris, enabling the automatic cleaning device 10 to have continuous cleaning capabilities.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the cleaning component 101 can be disposed at the bottom of the automatic cleaning device 10, so that the surface of the cleaning component 101 can contact the cleaning area during the movement of the automatic cleaning device 10. The structure of the cleaning component 101 can be selected according to actual needs, such as: it can adopt a plate-shaped or strip-shaped structure with adhesive on the surface. In some embodiments of this specification, the cleaning component 101 can be configured as a washable cleaning roller, that is, the cleaning component 101 can be configured as a cylindrical roller. Figure 3 As shown, the automatic cleaning device 10 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the cleaning component 101. The cleaning component 101, in the form of a washable cleaning roller, can roll within this cavity, and its outer surface protrudes from the cavity. During operation, the automatic cleaning device 10 moves via its bottom rollers, causing the cleaning component 101 to roll accordingly. Its surface contacts the cleaning area, and the area is cleaned through adhesive bonding. The surface of the cleaning component 101 can be coated with a washable and reusable adhesive, such as silicone. This washable adhesive can pick up dust, hair, or particles from the ground, thus achieving the cleaning function. Of course, the specific material of the washable cleaning roller 101 surface can be selected according to actual needs, primarily ensuring that it can perform cleaning through adhesive bonding and be washable and reusable.

[0047] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cleaning device 10 also includes a cleaning component 102. The cleaning component 102 can be positioned above the sweeping component 101. This allows the cleaning component 102 to remove dust and other debris adhering to the surface of the sweeping component 101 by spraying cleaning agent onto it, without affecting the operation of the automatic cleaning device. Of course, the specific position of the cleaning component 102 can be set according to actual needs, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning component 102 can be positioned directly above the sweeping component 101. Depending on actual needs, the cleaning component 102 can be positioned diagonally above the side of the sweeping component 101, but it must still be able to clean the sweeping component 101. Depending on requirements, the cleaning component 102 can also be positioned in the middle or below the sweeping component 101. Typically, the cleaning component 102 can include a water tank, a water spray nozzle, etc. The water tank can hold a cleaning agent capable of cleaning the sweeping component 101. The cleaning agent can be clean water or a solvent with certain cleaning properties. The water spray nozzle is connected to the water tank and can use the water or solvent in the tank to clean the surface of the sweeping component 101.

[0048] The cleaning component 102 can continuously clean the sweeping component 101 during the operation of the automatic cleaning equipment. Alternatively, a sensor can be installed on the surface of the sweeping component 101 to activate the cleaning component 102 when a large amount of dust or other debris is detected on its surface. A cleaning time interval can also be set, and the cleaning component 102 will activate to clean the sweeping component 101 when the interval is reached. The timing and frequency of the cleaning component 102's cleaning of the sweeping component 101 can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic cleaning device 10 also includes a scraping component 103, which abuts against the outer surface of the sweeping component 101. Thus, as the automatic cleaning device 10 moves, the sweeping component 101 rolls, and the scraping component 103, abutting against the outer surface of the sweeping component 101, scrapes away debris. Hair or particles adhering to the surface of the sweeping component 101 may not be thoroughly cleaned by the cleaning component 102 alone. The external force of the scraping component 103 can remove large particles or tightly adhered dust or hair from the outer surface of the sweeping component 101. When the cleaning component 102 sprays water to clean the sweeping component 101, the scraping component 103 also assists in cleaning the surface of the sweeping component 101, scraping away wastewater and debris, improving the cleaning effect of the sweeping component 101 surface, and thus enhancing the cleaning capability of the automatic cleaning device.

[0050] The specific structure of the scraping component 103 can be set according to actual needs. For example, a scraping plate, scraping strip, or scraping sponge can be selected as the scraping component 103. The material of the contact surface between the scraping component 103 and the cleaning component 101 can be selected according to actual needs. A material with moderate hardness that will not damage the surface of the cleaning component 101 and can scrape away the garbage on the surface of the cleaning component 101 can be selected, such as silicone with moderate hardness.

[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this specification, the surfaces of the scraping assembly 103 and the sweeping assembly 101 that abut against each other can be set as planes. This increases the contact area between the scraping assembly 103 and the sweeping assembly 101, making the scraping assembly 103 and the sweeping assembly 101 abut against each other more tightly, scraping away as much debris and wastewater as possible from the surface of the sweeping assembly 101, while minimizing the amount of water on the surface of the sweeping assembly 101 falling onto the ground between the scraping assembly 103 and the sweeping assembly 101. Figure 5As shown in some other embodiments of this specification, the surfaces of the scraping component 103 and the sweeping component 101 that abut against each other can also be configured as serrated, such as round teeth. This increases the scraping force between the scraping component 103 and the sweeping component 101, removing tightly adhered particles or debris. Generally, the outer surface of the sweeping component 101 has a certain degree of elasticity. By reasonably setting the shape and size of the serrations, gaps between the surfaces of the scraping component 103 and the sweeping component 101 can be avoided, preventing water from dripping onto the ground. The shape and size of the serrations can be set according to actual needs, and this specification does not impose specific limitations on the embodiments.

[0052] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, a water-absorbing component 105 may be provided at the bottom of the scraping component 103. The water-absorbing component 105 abuts against the outer surface of the sweeping component 101, absorbing the residual moisture on the outer surface of the sweeping component 101 after being scraped by the scraping component 103, ensuring that the outer surface of the sweeping component 101 is dry and free of moisture, thereby improving the adhesion of the sweeping component 101 and enhancing the cleaning ability of the automatic cleaning device. Of course, when the surfaces of the scraping component 103 and the sweeping component 101 that abut against each other can be set to a serrated shape, there may be a certain gap between the scraping component 103 and the sweeping component 101. Water from the cleaning component 102 cleaning the sweeping component 101 may fall through the gap. The water-absorbing component 105 can also absorb the moisture falling through the gap, preventing water droplets from falling on the ground and affecting the cleaning effect of the automatic cleaning device.

[0053] The water-absorbing component 105 can be made of an absorbent sponge or other material with good water absorption. The length of the water-absorbing component 105 can be set to be the same as the length of the scraping component 103. Furthermore, the water-absorbing component 105 can be freely removed from the automatic cleaning device 10, making it convenient to remove and dry it when the water absorption is large. A humidity detection sensor can be installed on the water-absorbing component 105. When the humidity of the water-absorbing component 105 is detected to be high, an immediate drying prompt can be issued. Alternatively, the water-absorbing component 105 can be dried periodically. Normally, the water absorbed by the water-absorbing component 105 is relatively small, so it can be dried after each use of the automatic cleaning device.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the length of the scraping component 103 may be greater than or equal to the length of the cleaning component 101. This ensures that the scraping component 103 can cover the entire outer surface of the cleaning component 101, thereby scraping away the debris on the surface of the cleaning component 101 and improving the cleaning effect of the surface of the cleaning component 101.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic cleaning device 10 can also be equipped with a sludge collection tank 104. The sludge collection tank 104 can be configured as a box with an opening, and the upper edge of the opening of the sludge collection tank 104 can abut against the rear end face of the scraping assembly 103. In this way, the debris scraped off by the scraping assembly 103 from the surface of the sweeping assembly 101 and the wastewater from the cleaning assembly 102 cleaning the sweeping assembly 101 can automatically fall into the sludge collection tank 104. Figure 2 As shown, the rear end face of the scraping assembly 103 can be understood as the end face away from the cleaning assembly 101. That is, the scraping assembly 103 can be disposed between the cleaning assembly 101 and the sludge collection box 104. One end face of the scraping assembly 103 abuts against the outer surface of the cleaning assembly 101, and the other end face abuts against the upper edge of the opening of the sludge collection box 104.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the bottom of the sludge collection tank 104 in the automatic cleaning device 10 may be provided with a sludge collection tank door 1041. By opening the sludge collection tank door 1041, the sewage and garbage in the sludge collection tank 104 can be poured out.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, a protruding guide component 1031 can be provided at each end of the scraping component 103. The guide components 1031 at both ends can prevent the garbage and sewage scraped from the cleaning component 101 by the scraping component 103 from flowing out of the ends of the scraping component 103. By providing protruding guide components 1031 at both ends of the scraping component 103, the middle part of the scraping component 103 is lower than the ends, thereby preventing the garbage and sewage scraped from the cleaning component 101 from flowing out of the ends of the scraping component 103, so that the garbage and sewage scraped from the cleaning component 101 can fall into the sludge collection tank 104.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the guide component 1031 can be configured as a trapezoidal structure, that is, the length of the end face of the guide component 1031 near the cleaning component 101 is less than the length of the end face away from the cleaning component 101. In other words, the side of the guide component 1031 can be configured as an inclined shape, which can better assist the garbage scraped from the cleaning component 101 to fall into the sludge collection box 104, and in particular, can play a role in guiding the sewage scraped from the cleaning component 101, thereby improving the garbage collection effect of the automatic cleaning equipment.

[0059] The automatic cleaning device provided in this specification embodiment can clean the cleaning area using a sweeping component 101 by adhesive bonding. Then, a cleaning component 102 and a scraping component 103 clean the sweeping component 101, removing dust and other debris. This ensures the sweeping component 101 maintains its adhesion to dust and debris, giving the automatic cleaning device 10 continuous cleaning capabilities. Finally, wastewater and debris from cleaning the sweeping component 101 are automatically collected in a collection tank 104. The entire cleaning process does not require a fan, reducing noise during operation of the automatic cleaning device 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of this specification, an automatic cleaning system is also provided, which may be a smart sweeping robot, a smart mopping robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, etc. The automatic cleaning system may include a base station 20 and the automatic cleaning device 10 described in the above embodiments. The base station 20 is mainly used to clean, rehydrate or charge the automatic cleaning device 10.

[0061] like Figures 6-7 As shown, in some implementations of this manual, when the water tank of the automatic cleaning device 10 is empty or the sewage and garbage collection tank 104 is full, the automatic cleaning device 10 can return to the base station 20 for cleaning and water replenishment. Figure 6 As shown, the base station 20 may include a waste cleaning chamber 201. The automatic cleaning device 10 can enter the waste cleaning chamber 201 through the opening of the waste cleaning chamber 201, thereby returning to the base station 20 and emptying the sewage and waste in the sludge collection tank 104 into the waste cleaning chamber 201. For example, after the automatic cleaning device 10 returns to the waste cleaning chamber 201 of the base station 20, the automatic cleaning device 10 can automatically open the sludge collection tank door 1041 at the bottom of the sludge collection tank 10, so that the garbage and sewage in the sludge collection tank 10 can be poured into the waste cleaning chamber 201, realizing the automatic cleaning of the garbage in the automatic cleaning device 10.

[0062] like Figure 7As shown, a filter screen 2011 can be installed at the bottom of the garbage cleaning chamber 201. When sewage and garbage from the collection tank 104 are poured into the garbage cleaning chamber 201, the filter screen 2011 can filter the garbage and sewage poured into the collection tank 104, filtering out dry garbage such as larger particles or hair, leaving it on the surface of the filter screen 2011. The garbage on its surface can be cleaned manually or by removing the filter screen 2011. A sewage chamber can be provided below the filter screen 2011, and the sewage filtered by the filter screen 2011 will automatically flow into the sewage chamber. The sewage chamber is not shown in the figure. Generally, in order to facilitate the automatic cleaning equipment 10 to return to the base station 20, the bottom of the garbage cleaning chamber 201 should not be made too thick. Therefore, the depth of the sewage chamber should not be too deep. The depth of the sewage chamber can be set according to actual needs. This embodiment of the specification does not make specific limitations.

[0063] This manual describes how a garbage cleaning chamber 201 is set in the base station 20. After the automatic cleaning device 10 returns to the base station 20, the garbage and sewage poured out of the sludge collection box 104 of the automatic cleaning device 10 can be filtered through the filter screen 2011 set at the bottom of the garbage cleaning chamber 201. The dry garbage is filtered onto the surface of the filter screen 2011, and the sewage flows into the sewage chamber below the filter screen 2011, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning and collection of garbage in the sludge collection box 104 of the automatic cleaning device 10, so that the automatic cleaning device 10 can continue to perform cleaning work.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the base station 20 may further include a base station trash can 202. A cavity for accommodating the base station trash can 202 may be provided in the base station 20, and the base station trash can 202 may be placed into the cavity. Figure 6 For ease of illustration, the base station trash can 202 is not placed in the corresponding cavity position within the base station 20. Figure 6 As shown, the base station trash can 202 is provided with an opening, namely the base station trash can opening 2021. When the base station trash can 202 is placed at the cavity position corresponding to the base station 20, the base station trash can opening 2021 is connected to the trash cleaning cavity 201.

[0065] In addition, such as Figure 7As shown, a base station scraper 2012 can be installed on the upper surface of the filter 2011 in the waste cleaning chamber 201. The base station scraper 2012 can move on the upper surface of the filter 2011. For example, if the base station waste bin 202 is located behind the waste cleaning chamber 201, the base station scraper 2012 can move along the front-back direction of the waste cleaning chamber 201 on the upper surface of the filter 2011, thus scraping the waste filtered out on the surface of the filter 2011 into the base station waste bin 202 through the base station waste bin opening 2021. Of course, if the base station waste bin 202 is located on the left or right side of the waste cleaning chamber 201, the sliding direction of the base station scraper 2012 will also change accordingly. The specific setting can be made according to actual needs. In addition, a door for the garbage cleaning chamber 201 can be installed at the location where the garbage cleaning chamber 201 connects with the base station garbage bin opening 2021. When it is necessary to clean the garbage on the surface of the filter screen 2011, the door of the garbage cleaning chamber 201 can be opened, so that the base station scraper 2012 can scrape the garbage filtered from the surface of the filter screen 2011 into the base station garbage bin 202 through the base station garbage bin opening 2021, thereby realizing the automatic collection and cleaning of garbage in the automatic cleaning equipment 10.

[0066] Of course, the sliding of the base station scraper 2012 can be driven by a drive structure, such as a gear or belt drive, which can be selected according to actual needs. This specification does not limit the specific implementation. Figure 7 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the base station 20 may also be provided with a base station scraper drive structure 2013. The base station scraper drive structure 2013 includes a rack and a gear. The rack can be set along the sliding direction of the base station scraper 2012. One end of the rack is connected to the base station scraper 2012. The gear meshes with the rack. A motor or other power structure drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to slide on the surface of the filter screen 2011, thereby scraping the debris from the surface of the filter screen 2011 into the corresponding base station waste bin 202. The base station scraper drive structure 2013 can be located at one end of the waste cleaning chamber 201; the specific location can be selected according to actual needs. Figure 7 The position of the base station scraper drive structure 2013 is indicated in the figure, only to better illustrate the structure of the base station scraper drive structure 2013.

[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this specification, a drying and sterilization component may also be provided inside the base station trash can 202. This component can sterilize and dry the base station trash can 202, preventing it from developing an odor. And, as... Figure 6As shown, a trash can side door 205 can be opened on the side wall of the base station 20. When the trash can 202 is full or needs to be emptied, it can be removed through the side door 205 to empty the trash. Furthermore, a trash can compartment door 2022 can be installed inside the trash can 202. This allows the trash can 202 to be opened or quickly pulled out of the base station 20 through both the compartment door 2022 and the side door 205, enabling the trash to be emptied quickly.

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the base station 20 may also be equipped with a base station wastewater tank 203. The base station wastewater tank 203 is generally located above the garbage cleaning chamber 201 and is connected to the wastewater chamber within the garbage cleaning chamber 201 via pipelines. A pump or other driving mechanism can pump the wastewater collected in the wastewater chamber into the base station wastewater tank 203. To facilitate the return of the automatic cleaning equipment 10 to the base station 20, the bottom of the garbage cleaning chamber 201 should generally not be too high. Therefore, the volume of the wastewater chamber is limited. By installing the base station wastewater tank 203 within the base station 20, the wastewater collected in the wastewater chamber can be promptly pumped into the base station wastewater tank 203, thereby improving the base station 20's ability to recycle garbage and wastewater from the automatic cleaning equipment 10. The volume of the base station wastewater tank 203 can be set according to actual needs. Generally, the upper part of the base station 20 has a relatively large space, so the volume of the base station wastewater tank 203 can be set relatively large, thereby improving the wastewater collection capacity of the base station 20.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown in some embodiments of this specification, the base station 20 may also be equipped with a base station clean water tank 204, which can hold clean water or cleaning agent capable of cleaning the sweeping component 101. When the water level in the automatic cleaning device 10 is insufficient, the cleaning component 102 cannot continue to clean the sweeping component 101, resulting in the sweeping component 101 failing to meet its cleaning function. In this case, the automatic cleaning device 10 can return to the base station 20. The base station 20, detecting the insufficient water level in the automatic cleaning device 10, can control the base station clean water tank 204 to replenish water to the automatic cleaning device 10, thereby allowing the cleaning component 102 in the automatic cleaning device 10 to continue cleaning the sweeping component 101. Furthermore, the base station clean water tank 204 of the base station 20 has a relatively large volume, which allows the cleaning component 102 to continuously clean the sweeping component 101, ensuring that the sweeping component 101 is thoroughly cleaned. In addition, it can also increase the water output of the cleaning component 102, improving the cleaning capability of the automatic cleaning device. After the cleaning component 101 is cleaned, the water tank in the automatic cleaning device 10 can be filled with water, and the automatic cleaning device 10 can then perform cleaning work again.

[0070] In addition, the automatic cleaning device 10 in the embodiments of this specification can also be equipped with a sensing system, a control system, a drive system, an energy system and a human-machine interaction system, and interfaces for electrical connection and mechanical connection also need to be provided.

[0071] A sensing system typically includes a position determination device, and various sensors such as buffers, cliff sensors, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and odometers, providing the control system with various position and motion status information. Position determination devices include, but are not limited to, cameras and laser rangefinders (LDS).

[0072] Control systems typically include non-transitory storage, such as hard drives, flash memory, and random access memory, and computing processors, such as central processing units and application processors. The application processor uses obstacle information fed back by laser rangefinders and localization algorithms, such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), to create a real-time map of the environment in which the automatic cleaning system operates. It also combines distance and speed information from sensors such as buffers, cliff sensors, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and odometers to comprehensively determine the current working state of the robot vacuum, such as crossing a threshold, stepping on a carpet, being on a cliff, being stuck above or below, having a full dustbin, or being picked up. It will also provide specific next action strategies for different situations, making the automatic cleaning system work more in line with the user's requirements and providing a better user experience.

[0073] The drive system can manipulate the automatic cleaning system to travel across the ground based on drive commands with distance and angle information. The drive system includes the automatic cleaning device 10 of any of the above embodiments, a drive motor, and a control circuit for controlling the drive motor. The rotation axis of the automatic cleaning device 10 can be driven to rotate by the drive motor of the automatic cleaning system, thereby enabling the automatic cleaning device 10 to rotate.

[0074] Energy systems typically include rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. These batteries may be connected to a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit, and a battery undervoltage monitoring circuit. These circuits are then connected to a microcontroller control circuit. The main body of the device is usually connected to a charging station via charging electrodes for charging.

[0075] Human-machine interface systems typically include buttons on the main control panel of the automatic cleaning system for user function selection; they may also include a display screen and / or indicator lights and / or a speaker, which show the user the current machine status or available functions; and a mobile client application. For path-navigation cleaning equipment, the mobile client can display a map of the environment where the equipment is located, as well as the machine's position, providing users with richer and more user-friendly functions.
