[0067] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a cleaning system, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the cleaning system includes a cleaning device 10 and a base station 20. The cleaning device 10 can be, for example, a robotic vacuum cleaner, a robotic mop, or a robotic vacuum and mop combo; the cleaning device 10 may include a device body 110, a drive module, a sensing module, a control module, a cleaning module, an energy module, and a human-machine interaction module. The base station 20 is used to dock with the cleaning device 10, allowing it to be parked. The cleaning device 10 can perform functions such as charging, self-cleaning, docking, sewage discharge, water replenishment, and dust collection on the base station 20.

[0068] In one embodiment, the device body 110 is configured to automatically move along a target direction on a travel surface, which can be the surface to be cleaned by the cleaning device 10. If the cleaning device 10 is a sweeping and mopping robot, then the cleaning device 10 operates on the ground, which is the aforementioned operating surface.

[0069] In one embodiment, the drive module includes a drive wheel assembly. The drive module can control both the left and right wheels simultaneously. For more precise control of the machine's movement, the drive module preferably includes a left drive wheel assembly and a right drive wheel assembly. The left and right drive wheel assemblies are symmetrically arranged along a transverse axis defined by the device body 110.

[0070] In one embodiment, to enable the automatic cleaning device 10 to move more stably or with greater mobility on the ground, the automatic cleaning device 10 may include one or more steering wheels; wherein, the steering wheels may be driven wheels or driving wheels, and their structural forms include, but are not limited to, casters, and the steering wheels may be located in front of the driving wheel assembly. A drive motor provides power to the driving wheel assembly and / or the steering wheels.

[0071] In one embodiment, the cleaning module may include a dry cleaning module, or a dry and wet cleaning module. The dry cleaning module may include a roller brush assembly 191, a side brush 192, etc., and the wet cleaning module may include a cleaning head 193, a water tank, etc. The cleaning head 193 may be equipped with a mop.

[0072] In one embodiment, the sensing module includes a position determination device located above the device body 110, a buffer located on the forward portion of the device body 110, and a cliff sensor and various sensing devices such as an ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, and odometer located at the bottom of the device body 110, providing the control module with various position and motion state information of the device body 110. For example, the forward portion of the device body 110 is provided with a buffer. During the cleaning process, when the drive wheel assembly propels the cleaning device 10 to move on the ground, the buffer detects one or more objects in the travel path of the cleaning device 10 via a sensor module, such as a collision sensor. The cleaning device 10 can pass through the objects detected by the collision sensor, such as steps, obstacles, or walls, and the control drive structure causes the cleaning device 10 to respond to the objects, such as stepping over steps.

[0073] In one embodiment, the control module can combine distance and speed information fed back 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 cleaner, such as climbing stairs, crossing thresholds, walking on carpets, being on a cliff, 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 cleaning device 10 work more in line with the user's requirements and providing a better user experience. Furthermore, the control module can plan the most efficient and reasonable cleaning path and cleaning method based on real-time map information drawn using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device 10.

[0074] In one embodiment, the energy module includes a rechargeable battery, such as a nickel-metal hydride battery or a lithium battery. The rechargeable battery 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 unit is charged by connecting to a charging station via charging electrodes located on the side or bottom of the unit.

[0075] In one embodiment, the human-machine interaction module includes buttons on the main unit panel for users to select functions; it may also include a display screen and / or indicator lights and / or a speaker, which display the current status of the machine or the available function options to the user; and it may also include a mobile client application. For path navigation type cleaning equipment 10, 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.

[0076] As users demand increasingly higher performance from cleaning equipment, these devices need to integrate multiple functions into their control components during the design phase to meet user needs and enhance market competitiveness. However, this multi-functionality generates significant heat during operation. Furthermore, the compact internal structure of cleaning equipment, requiring numerous functional components, can prevent the effective dissipation of heat from the control components. This can lead to malfunctions, such as system crashes, severely impacting the user experience.

[0077] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a cleaning device, such as... Figures 4-9 As shown, the cleaning equipment 10 includes a device body 110, a control component, and a heat dissipation component. The control component is mounted on the device body 110, and the heat dissipation component is also mounted on the device body 110. The heat dissipation component is configured to dissipate heat from the control component. By mounting the heat dissipation component on the device body 110, the heat generated by the control component during operation can be dissipated in a timely manner, thereby ensuring that the control component remains within its normal operating temperature range and can continue to operate normally. This avoids overheating and potential malfunctions, thus improving the reliability of the cleaning equipment 10.

[0078] like Figure 10 As shown, the control component includes a circuit board 120, which is mounted on the device body 110. The circuit board 120 generates a significant amount of heat during operation. If heat dissipation is insufficient, causing the operating temperature of the circuit board 120 to rise continuously, it will malfunction, potentially leading to a system crash or other issues with the cleaning device 10. The heat dissipation component cools the circuit board 120, ensuring it remains within its normal operating temperature range and allowing for continuous operation, thus preventing overheating and potential system crashes.

[0079] Among them, such as Figure 11 As shown, the circuit board 120 includes a circuit board body 121 and a plurality of electronic components 122 disposed on the circuit board body 121. The plurality of electronic components 122 include, for example, integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, diodes, etc. The electronic components 122 generate heat during operation, and the heat dissipation assembly dissipates and cools the electronic components 122 to keep them within the normal operating temperature range.

[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4-9As shown, the heat dissipation assembly includes a heat-conducting element 130 and a fan 140. The heat-conducting element 130 includes a first end 131 and a second end 132. The first end 131 is connected to the control component. The fan 140 is mounted on the device body 110, and the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 is positioned opposite to the second end 132 of the heat-conducting element 130. The heat generated on the circuit board 120 can be transferred from the first end 131 to the second end 132 through the heat-conducting element 130. Then, the fan 140 increases the airflow speed around the second end 132 of the heat-conducting element 130, thereby effectively cooling the second end 132 of the heat-conducting element 130, and thus effectively cooling the circuit board 120, keeping the circuit board 120 within its normal operating temperature range. Meanwhile, since the cleaning equipment 10 needs to be equipped with a large number of functional components, its internal structure is compact. With the heat-conducting component 130 used to transfer heat to the circuit board 120, the heat-conducting component 130 also facilitates the layout of the fan 140 on the equipment body 110, making it easier to let the gas cooled by the heat-conducting component 130 flow out of the cleaning equipment 10, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the cleaning equipment 10.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the device body 110 includes a mounting plate 115, on which mounting structures for various functional components are pre-set, with each functional component correspondingly installed in a pre-set position. A circuit board 120 and a fan 140 are correspondingly mounted on the mounting plate 115, and heat generated on the circuit board 120 is transferred to the location of the fan 140 via a heat-conducting component 130. For example, the circuit board 120 is located on the side of the mounting plate 115 facing the forward direction of the cleaning device 10, and the fan 140 is located on the side of the mounting plate 115 facing the backward direction of the cleaning device 10. The circuit board 120 and the fan 140 are spaced apart on the mounting plate 115.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figures 12 to 17 As shown, the cleaning device 10 also includes a dust box 150 and a filter 160. The dust box 150 forms a receiving space 153 and a suction port 154 and an air outlet 155 communicating with the receiving space 153. The air inlet of the fan 140 is connected to the air outlet 155 of the dust box 150. The filter 160 is disposed in the receiving space 153, and the suction port 154 and the air outlet 155 are located on both sides of the filter 160. A roller groove 116 is formed on the mounting member, and the roller brush of the roller brush assembly 191 is located in the roller groove 116. The mounting member also forms a receiving space 112 and a through hole 111 communicating with the receiving space 112 and the roller groove 116. The dust box 150 is disposed in the receiving space 112. Figure 18As shown, during cleaning operations, the side brush 192 of the cleaning device 10, in conjunction with the roller brush assembly 191, sweeps dust and debris from the surface to be cleaned into the roller trough 116 below the cleaning device 10. The suction port 154 of the dust box 150 is connected to the roller trough 116 through the through hole 111. A negative pressure is created in the roller trough 116 by the fan 140, drawing the dust and debris swept into the roller trough 116 into the receiving space 153 of the dust box 150, thus achieving dust and debris recovery. The filter element 160 filters the air drawn into the fan 140, preventing dust and debris from being drawn into the fan 140.

[0083] Among them, such as Figure 16 As shown, a filter screen 170 can be installed at the air inlet of the fan 140 or the air outlet 155 of the dust box 150 to further filter the dust-collecting gas and prevent foreign objects from entering the fan 140 or entering the dust box 150 through the air outlet 155.

[0084] Among them, such as Figure 17 As shown, the dust box 150 includes a cover plate 151 and a dust box compartment 152. The dust box compartment 152 forms a receiving space 153, and the filter element 160 can be installed in the receiving space 153 of the dust box compartment 152 by opening the cover plate 151. The dust box compartment 152 is movably mounted on the mounting plate 115, meaning that the user can remove the dust box compartment 152 from the device body 110, manually open the cover plate 151, and remove the filter element 160 to empty the dust from the dust box compartment 152. The filter element 160 can be a paper-based filter cartridge to improve the dust filtration effect.

[0085] The cleaning device 10 provided in this disclosure, while using a fan 140 to suck dust and debris swept into the roller trough 116 into the dust box 150, simultaneously utilizes the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 to exchange heat with the heat-conducting component 130, thus achieving cooling of the circuit board 120. It is evident that a single fan 140 can simultaneously achieve dust extraction and cooling, or the existing dust extraction fan 140 on the cleaning device 10 can be used to cool the circuit board 120. It is understood that two fans 140 can also be used, one for dust extraction and the other for cooling the circuit board 120; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 10 also includes a housing 113, on which an air outlet 114 is provided at a position corresponding to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. The high-temperature gas generated after the airflow provided by the fan 140 exchanges heat with the heat-conducting component 130 can be discharged in a timely manner through the air outlet 114 on the housing 113, which helps to reduce the temperature inside the housing 113, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the heat-conducting component 130 and thus improving the cooling effect on the circuit board 120.

[0087] The multiple air outlets 114 extend circumferentially along the outer periphery of the cleaning device 10 and are arranged side-by-side in the thickness direction of the cleaning device 10. This ensures the structural strength of the housing 113 at the locations of the air outlets 114 while providing a large ventilation volume per unit area. Of course, the multiple air outlets 114 can also be circular, rectangular, or other shapes, and can be arranged in an array or irregularly. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the heat-conducting component 130 has a sheet-like structure, which effectively transfers heat from the circuit board 120 to the fan 140 side while avoiding occupying too much space in the cleaning equipment 10. The sheet-like structure provides good heat conduction even with a relatively wide dimension.

[0089] The heat-conducting component 130 can be a graphite heat-conducting sheet. Graphite heat-conducting sheets have a high thermal conductivity and can be smoothly attached to the inner surface of the housing 113. They can also be cut in any way according to the arrangement requirements of the graphite heat-conducting sheet inside the housing 113. Of course, the graphite heat-conducting sheet can also be a heat-conducting copper sheet or other composite heat-conducting materials, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0090] When the graphite heat-conducting sheet is thermally connected to the circuit board 120, the first end 131 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet and the electronic component 122 on the circuit board 120 that generates a large amount of heat, such as the integrated circuit, can be thermally connected through thermal adhesive or thermal pad, so that the heat generated on the electronic component 122 can be effectively transferred through the graphite heat-conducting sheet.

[0091] The first end 131 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet can cover part of the circuit board 120, thereby covering the electronic components 122 that generate a lot of heat, so that the heat generated by them can be transferred out to achieve cooling. Of course, the first end 131 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet can also cover the entire circuit board 120 to achieve a better heat conduction and cooling effect.

[0092] When the graphite heat-conducting sheet is installed on the device body 110, the portion between the first end 131 and the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet can be fixed to the inner wall of the housing 113 by means of bonding, snapping, etc., so as to fix the graphite heat-conducting sheet; or, the graphite heat-conducting sheet can be fixed to the mounting plate 115 or other functional devices of the mounting plate 115 by means of bonding, snapping, etc.; or, the first end 131 and the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet can be fixed to achieve the assembly of the graphite heat-conducting sheet.

[0093] The second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet can be formed with a heat dissipation structure, which is arranged opposite to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. By forming a heat dissipation structure at the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet, the heat exchange efficiency between the graphite heat-conducting sheet and the gas provided by the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 can be improved, thereby improving the cooling effect on the graphite heat-conducting sheet and thus improving the cooling effect on the circuit board 120.

[0094] The heat dissipation structure can be a heat dissipation fin formed on the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet, a ventilation structure, or a combination of heat dissipation fins and a ventilation structure.

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, a ventilation structure 133 is formed at the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet, and the ventilation structure 133 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. The ventilation structure 133 can improve the flow of heat exchange gas at the second end 132 of the graphite heat-conducting sheet, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.

[0096] The ventilation structure 133 may include a grille, on which multiple air holes are formed that extend circumferentially along the cleaning device 10 and are arranged in parallel along the thickness direction of the cleaning device 10, so as to ensure the structural strength of the graphite heat-conducting sheet at the location of the air holes while providing a large ventilation volume per unit area.

[0097] The ventilation structure 133 includes multiple ventilation holes, which are positioned opposite to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. These ventilation holes can also be circular, rectangular, or other shapes, and can be arranged in an array or irregularly; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0098] The multiple ventilation holes on the graphite heat-conducting sheet can have the same structure and distribution as the multiple air outlet holes 114 on the shell 113. This reduces turbulence when the heat exchange gas flows out through the ventilation structure 133 and the multiple air outlet holes 114 on the shell 113, thereby increasing the flowability of the heat exchange gas. This allows the heat exchange gas to flow quickly to the periphery of the shell 113 through the multiple air outlet holes 114, improving the cooling effect.

[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the heat-conducting component 130 is a tubular heat pipe. While transferring heat from the circuit board 120 to the fan 140 side, the heat pipe avoids occupying too much space in the cleaning equipment 10. The heat pipe has good thermal conductivity with a small cross-sectional size.

[0100] The heat-conducting component 130 can be a copper tube, which has a high thermal conductivity. The copper tube can be laid out according to the available gaps inside the housing 113 and can be bent in any form according to the layout requirements inside the housing 113. Of course, the heat-conducting tube can also be other metal heat-conducting materials or composite heat-conducting materials with high thermal conductivity, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0101] When the copper tube is thermally connected to the circuit board 120, the first end 131 of the copper tube can be thermally connected to the electronic component 122 on the circuit board 120 that generates a large amount of heat, such as the integrated circuit, through thermal adhesive or thermal pad, so that the heat generated on the electronic component 122 can be effectively transferred through the copper tube.

[0102] The first end 131 of the copper tube can cover part of the circuit board 120, thereby covering the electronic components 122 that generate a lot of heat, so that the heat generated by them can be transferred out to achieve cooling.

[0103] When the copper tube is installed on the equipment body 110, the portion between the first end 131 and the second end 132 of the copper tube can be fixed to the inner wall of the housing 113 by means of bonding, snapping, etc., to achieve the fixation of the copper tube; or, the copper tube can be fixed to the mounting plate 115 or other functional components of the mounting plate 115 by means of bonding, snapping, etc.; or, the first end 131 and the second end 132 of the copper tube can be fixed to achieve the assembly of the copper tube.

[0104] A heat dissipation structure can be formed at the second end 132 of the copper tube, and the heat dissipation structure is arranged opposite to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. By forming a heat dissipation structure at the second end 132 of the copper tube, the heat exchange efficiency between the copper tube and the air supplied by the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 can be improved, thereby improving the cooling effect on the copper tube and thus improving the cooling effect on the circuit board 120. The heat dissipation structure can be heat dissipation fins, ventilation structure, or a combination of heat dissipation fins and ventilation structure formed on the second end 132 of the copper tube.

[0105] like Figure 9 As shown, a ventilation structure 133 is formed at the second end 132 of the copper tube, and the ventilation structure 133 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 141 of the fan 140. The ventilation structure 133 can improve the flow of heat exchange gas at the second end 132 of the copper tube, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.

[0106] The copper tube can be hollow, meaning it has a through-hole penetrating both the first end 131 and the second end 132. A negative pressure can be created at the second end 132 by a fan 140, allowing gas to flow within the tube and thus improving its heat exchange efficiency. When the second end 132 of the copper tube has a ventilation structure 133, the ventilation structure 133 connects to the through-hole, further increasing the gas flow velocity within the tube and thus further improving its heat exchange efficiency. It is understood that the opening of the through-hole penetrating both ends 131 and 132 is not limited to being located on the end faces of both ends, but can also be located on the outer circumferential surface of the tube near both ends. Of course, the copper tube can also be solid; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0107] The ventilation structure 133 may include multiple ventilation holes, which are connected to the through holes of the copper pipe. The multiple ventilation holes can extend radially along the copper pipe and be distributed axially along the copper pipe, i.e., they can be arranged side-by-side in the thickness direction of the cleaning device 10, thereby relatively increasing the ventilation volume of the ventilation structure 133 and thus improving heat exchange efficiency. The multiple ventilation holes may also be circular, rectangular, oval, irregular, etc., and can be arranged in an array or irregularly; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0108] The multiple ventilation holes on the copper tube can have the same structure and distribution as the multiple air outlets 114 on the shell 113. This reduces turbulence when the heat exchange gas flows out through the ventilation structure 133 and the multiple air outlets 114 on the shell 113, thereby increasing the flowability of the heat exchange gas. This allows the heat exchange gas to flow quickly to the periphery of the shell 113 through the multiple air outlets 114, improving the cooling effect.

[0109] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 faces the outer periphery of the side wall of the cleaning equipment 10, and the ventilation structure 133 is located on the side of the air outlet 141 of the fan 140 facing the outer periphery of the side wall of the cleaning equipment 10. Therefore, after the gas provided by the fan 140 exchanges heat with the heat-conducting component 130, it can be discharged to the periphery of the cleaning equipment 10 in a timely manner, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0110] The second end 132 of the heat-conducting element 130 is located on the edge of the device body 110. By placing the second end 132 of the heat-conducting element 130 on the edge of the device body 110, after the gas supplied by the fan 140 exchanges heat with the heat-conducting element 130, the heat-exchange gas can be quickly discharged through the air outlet 114 on the housing 113, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0111] In one embodiment, such as Figures 15 to 17As shown, the cleaning device 10 also includes a dust collection duct 180, the inlet of which is connected to the receiving space 153 of the dust box 150. When the cleaning device 10 is located on the base station 20, the inlet of the dust collection component on the base station 20 can be connected to the outlet of the dust collection duct 180. Through the negative pressure generated by the dust collection component, dust, foreign objects, etc. accumulated in the dust box 150 can be sucked into the dust bag of the base station 20 through the dust collection duct 180, thereby realizing automatic dust collection of the cleaning device 10 on the base station 20.

[0112] like Figure 19 As shown, the dust collection duct 180 is equipped with a valve 181 and a one-way valve 182. Valve 181 is located at the outlet of the dust collection duct 180 to prevent foreign objects from entering the dust collection duct 180 when the cleaning equipment 10 is not on the base station 20. When the cleaning equipment 10 is on the base station 20, the cleaning equipment 10 and the base station 20 cooperate to open valve 181, allowing dust and debris in the dust box 152 to enter the dust bag of the base station 20 through the dust collection duct 180. For example, valve 181 can be opened under the negative pressure of the dust collection assembly of the base station 20; that is, valve 181 can also be a one-way valve. Valve 181 can also be an electrically controlled valve. When dust collection is required on the base station 20, the electrically controlled valve is opened by the electrically controlled assembly to connect the dust collection duct 180 of the cleaning equipment 10 with the suction duct on the base station 20. One-way valve 182 is located at the inlet of dust collection duct 180. Under the negative pressure of fan 140, one-way valve 182 can close the inlet of dust collection duct, so that the negative pressure provided by fan 140 can act on the suction port 154 of dust box 152 for dust collection. When cleaning equipment 10 is connected to base station 20, one-way valve 182 can be opened under the negative pressure of dust collection component of base station 20, so that dust and debris in dust box 152 can enter dust collection duct 180.
