Furthermore, manual cleaning is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but may also pose potential health threats due to contact with contaminants.

[0003] With the development of smart home technology and automated equipment, new solutions have emerged in the market aimed at improving cleaning efficiency and user experience. However, when different types of cleaning tools are needed to handle diverse cleaning tasks, how to achieve quick and stable tool switching has become a pressing issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a cleaning execution head that allows for rapid and stable tool switching.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a cleaning execution head, comprising:

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a cleaning execution head includes:

[0027] Mounting part 100 is used to be mounted on the cleaning execution end, and the mounting part 100 can rotate about an axis relative to the cleaning execution end;

[0028] The execution part 101 is fixed to the mounting part 100, and an electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is provided on the execution part 101. The working surface 103 of the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 protrudes from the outer contour surface of the execution part 101. The electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is used to adsorb cleaning tools.

[0029] In this embodiment, by rotating the mounting part 100 around the axis with the cleaning execution end, the execution part 101 can be rotated, realizing real-time dynamic posture adjustment in complex curved surface cleaning scenarios, solving the problem of cleaning blind spots caused by posture limitations of traditional fixed connectors; the outward convex electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is designed, and its protruding working surface 103 forms a contact magnetic coupling with the cleaning tool, quickly responding to the switching needs of different tools.

[0030] Specifically, the working surface 103 of the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is located on the rotation axis of the mounting part 100, and the working surface 103 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the mounting part 100.

[0031] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 and the mounting part 100 are located on opposite sides of the execution part 101. Since the working surface 103 of the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is located on the rotation axis and is perpendicular to the rotation axis, this ensures that the cleaning tool can maintain a stable adsorption state no matter how the execution part 101 rotates. The angle of the cleaning tool relative to the working surface can be controlled more precisely, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0032] Preferably, a gap is provided between the execution part 101 and the mounting part 100 to form a receiving cavity 104, which is used to fix the communication module that is electrically connected to the electromagnetic adsorption module 102.

[0033] In this embodiment, the receiving cavity 104 formed between the execution part 101 and the mounting part 100 is mainly used to fix the communication module and enable the communication module to be electrically connected to the electromagnetic adsorption module 102. This not only makes efficient use of space but also protects the internal electronic components from the influence of the external environment, improving the reliability and durability of the device.

[0034] The communication module fixed inside the receiving cavity 104 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic adsorption module 102, which can realize the transmission of data or signals, including controlling the working state of the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 (e.g., turning the magnet on / off), monitoring the adsorption status of the tool, or interacting with other system components.

[0035] Specifically, two connecting plates 105 are integrally provided on both sides of the execution part 101 and fixed to the mounting part 100 to form a receiving cavity 104. The connecting plates 105 are integrally formed with the execution part 101 and the mounting part 100, which enhances the stability of the entire structure. The connecting plates 105 are provided on both sides of the execution part 101, so that a receiving cavity 104 with openings on both sides is formed between the execution part 101 and the mounting part 100, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of electronic components such as communication modules, and also allows signal lines to enter and exit through the openings, which facilitates connection with other system components.

[0036] Preferably, the mounting part 100 is provided with an embedded mounting cavity 106, and a control module is fixedly installed in the embedded mounting cavity 106. A through wire passage 107 is also provided on the embedded mounting cavity 106 and connected to the embedded mounting cavity 106.

[0037] More preferably, the embedded mounting cavity 106 is disposed on the side of the mounting part 100 away from the execution part 101, and the mounting part 100 is also provided with a through connecting channel 108 that communicates with the embedded mounting cavity 106 and the receiving cavity 104.

[0038] In this embodiment, the control module includes a control circuit board with a control chip electrically connected to it. The embedded mounting cavity 106 provided on the mounting part 100 can place the control module in a relatively closed environment to prevent it from being affected by the external environment. A through wire passage 107 is also provided on the embedded mounting cavity 106 to allow cables or lines to pass through, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the control module and other external components.

[0039] The through-connection channel 108 provided on the mounting section 100 allows the pins on the control circuit board to extend into the receiving cavity 104 through the connection channel 108, facilitating electrical connection with the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 or other electronic components, simplifying internal wiring, and improving the overall reliability and maintainability of the system.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment, the mounting part 100 is provided with a wire fixing part 109, and the wire fixing part 109 is provided with a wire bundling through hole 110.

[0041] In this embodiment, a wire fixing part 109 is provided at the openings on both sides of the receiving cavity 104, so that the wires can enter or exit the receiving cavity 104 from both sides, providing a clear path for the wires to enter and exit, reducing the bending and tangling of the wires, thereby reducing the risk of wire wear; the wire bundle through hole 110 can arrange the connection cables between the communication module, the control module and the external system in an orderly manner, avoiding the wires being messy.

[0042] like Figures 4-5 As shown, a cleaning robot includes a cleaning execution head and a cleaning robotic arm 200, with the cleaning execution head disposed at the execution end of the cleaning robotic arm 200.

[0043] In this embodiment, the execution end of the cleaning robotic arm 200 is the cleaning execution end. The cleaning robotic arm 200 is a multi-joint robotic arm, and the execution end is also provided with a connecting flange 201 to connect with the mounting part 100, so as to realize the connection between the cleaning robotic arm 200 and the cleaning connector, and also to allow the cleaning execution head to rotate relative to the execution end. When the mounting part 100 is fixed with the connecting flange 201, the embedded mounting cavity 106 is located inside the connecting flange 201, and the key components such as the control module are protected in a relatively safe environment, reducing the impact of the external environment on them.

[0044] The cleaning robotic arm 200 adopts a multi-joint design, which gives the robotic arm a high degree of flexibility and operability, enabling it to perform precise cleaning in complex or hard-to-reach spaces. Even in complex curved surfaces or narrow spaces, it can flexibly adjust the angle of the cleaning tools, making it suitable for work surfaces of various shapes and sizes. Whether it is a flat surface or a complex curved surface, it can efficiently complete the cleaning task. The connecting flange 201 has both mechanical connection and rotational degree of freedom control functions, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment to adapt to different cleaning needs.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the execution end is equipped with a first vision sensor 202, and the joint axis of the cleaning robot arm 200 is equipped with a second vision sensor.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first vision sensor 202 is set at the execution end of the cleaning robot arm 200 (i.e., near the cleaning execution head), mainly used to monitor the interaction between the cleaning tool and the target surface in real time. It can capture key information in the cleaning process, such as the posture of the cleaning tool, the state of the working surface 103, and the cleaning effect. The second vision sensor is set on the joint axis of the cleaning robot arm 200 to monitor the overall motion state and posture changes of the robot arm. It can provide information about the joint angles, motion trajectory, and surrounding environment of the robot arm, helping the system to better plan the cleaning path and adjust the posture.

[0047] More preferably, the mounting end of the cleaning robotic arm 200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base; or the mounting end of the cleaning robotic arm 200 is fixedly mounted on the transfer platform.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting end of the cleaning robot's robotic arm 200 can be configured in two ways: one is fixed to a mounting base, and the other is fixed to a transfer platform. The mounting end of the cleaning robotic arm 200 is fixed to a stable mounting base. This is suitable for scenarios requiring long-term fixed-point operation; the base provides a robust foundation, ensuring the robotic arm remains stable during operation and reducing operational errors caused by vibration or external interference. The mounting end of the cleaning robotic arm 200 is fixed to a transfer platform, meaning the entire cleaning system can be moved to different work locations. This is suitable for applications requiring frequent changes in work areas; the transfer platform allows the cleaning robot to quickly reach different work sites, improving equipment utilization and work efficiency.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that each cleaning tool connected to the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 is provided with a mounting slot, and a magnetic sheet is provided in the mounting slot. The working surface 103 of the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 protrudes from the outer contour surface of the execution part 101. The electromagnetic adsorption module 102 can be inserted into the mounting slot and magnetically fixed with the magnetic sheet to pick up the cleaning tool. Through the precisely aligned mounting slot and magnetic sheet design, the electromagnetic adsorption module 102 can provide a stronger adsorption force in contact magnetic coupling, ensuring that the cleaning tool will not fall off accidentally during operation.
