[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a cleaning robot 200, which can be used in conjunction with a home mobile platform 100. The cleaning robot 200 can be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, or a combined sweeping and mopping robot.

[0048] When the cleaning robot 200 approaches the home mobility platform 100, the home mobility platform 100 can automatically establish a physical connection with the cleaning robot 200, thus enabling the cleaning robot 200 to move the home mobility platform 100. The home mobility platform 100 can also serve as a support structure for home objects 300, meaning that home objects 300 can be placed on the home mobility platform 100, thereby fulfilling the need for moving and using home objects 300.

[0049] It should be noted that home objects 300 can be placed on the home mobile platform 100 in various ways, such as fixed placement, integrated connection, or non-connection. Home objects 300 can be, for example, air purifiers, humidifiers, books, cameras, dehumidifiers, aromatherapy diffusers, or items that users frequently use, such as medicines and water cups, that may be moved around the home, or the platform 110 or cabinet that houses them.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a cleaning robot 200, which can be combined with a home mobility platform 100. The cleaning robot 200 includes a robot body 210 and a locking post 214. The locking post 214 is located on the top or side of the robot body 210. After the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the home mobility platform 100, the locking post 214 is used to engage with the locking groove 160 on the bottom or side of the home mobility platform 100 so that the top of the robot body 210 is fixedly connected to the home mobility platform 100. Alignment refers to the cleaning robot 200 being directly below the platform 110.

[0051] It should be noted that when the locking post 214 extends, it is located on the top or side of the robot body 210, meaning it protrudes from the top or side of the robot body 210. When the locking post 214 retracts, its top is lower than or flush with the upper surface of the cleaning robot 200, or its end is located inside the robot body 210 or flush with its side. Fixed connection can refer to restricting the horizontal movement of both parties only through interlocking or similar methods, without complete vertical fixation; it can also refer to achieving complete fixation through locking, magnetic attraction, or other methods, restricting the movement of both parties in all directions, including horizontal and vertical.

[0052] In this embodiment, after the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the home mobility platform 100, the locking post 214 and the locking slot 160 are engaged to fix the top of the robot body 210 to the home mobility platform 100, facilitating the connection between the cleaning robot 200 and the home mobility platform 100. The home mobility platform 100 is equipped with home items 300, such as air purifiers, humidifiers, books, cameras, dehumidifiers, and aromatherapy diffusers. It can also house commonly used items such as medicines and water cups that may be moved around the home, or a platform 110 or cabinet for storing them. Thus, driven by the cleaning robot 200, the home items 300 can be moved from one location to another, or from one room to another. The movement of the home items 300 is achieved through the cooperation of the cleaning robot 200 and the home mobility platform 100, which is more time-saving and labor-saving compared to relying on manual labor to move the home items 300.

[0053] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 200 further includes a drive mechanism 220; the drive mechanism 220 is located inside the robot body 210, and includes a motor 221 and a transmission component 222. The motor 221 is fixedly connected to the robot body 210, and the transmission component 222 is connected to the motor 221 and used to drive the locking post 214 to extend or retract, thereby allowing the locking post 214 to engage or disengage from the locking slot 160. In this embodiment, the motor 221 drives the transmission component 222 to rotate, so that when the transmission component 222 drives the locking post 214 to extend, it engages with the locking slot 160, thereby fixing the top of the robot body 210 to the home mobile platform 100; and when the motor 221 drives the transmission component 222 to disengage the locking post 214 from the locking slot 160, the cleaning robot 200 is separated from the home mobile platform 100.

[0054] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further includes a guide member 223, the transmission member 222 is connected to the guide member 223, the guide member 223 is connected to or integrally formed with the snap-fit ​​post 214, the motor 221 drives the transmission member 222 to rotate, and drives the guide member 223 to move; the guide member 223 is provided with one of a guide block 2231 or a guide groove 217, the robot body 210 is provided with a connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism is provided with the other of a guide block 2231 or a guide groove 217, the guide block 2231 cooperates with the guide groove 217 so that the guide member 223 drives the snap-fit ​​post 214 to extend or retract, thereby making the snap-fit ​​post 214 engage or disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 160.

[0055] In this embodiment, the guide member 223 is connected to the transmission member 222. When the transmission member 222 rotates, it drives the guide member 223 to move, thereby driving the locking post 214 to move. Simultaneously, exemplarily, the guide member 223 is provided with a guide block 2231, and the guiding mechanism is provided with a guide groove 217. The cooperation between the guide block 2231 and the guide groove 217 improves the stability of the movement of the guide member 223. It is understood that in other embodiments, the guide member 223 may also be provided with a guide groove 217, and the guiding mechanism may be provided with a guide block 2231.

[0056] In the above embodiments, the guide member 223 and the snap-fit ​​post 214 are integrally formed, for example. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide member 223 and the snap-fit ​​post 214 can also be fixedly connected by welding, bonding or other connection methods.

[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission component 222 is a lead screw, and the guide component 223 is fixedly provided with a nut structure 2233. The nut structure 2233 cooperates with the lead screw to enable the motor 221 to drive the guide component 223 to move. In this embodiment, the nut structure 2233 is fixed to the guide component 223. The rotation of the lead screw drives the nut structure 2233 to rotate, thereby driving the guide component 223 to move, and further driving the locking post 214 to move. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission component 222 can be composed of a transmission wheel and a conveyor belt. The guide component 223 is set on the conveyor belt. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor 221 drives the transmission belt to move, thereby driving the guide component 223 to move, and further driving the locking post 214 to engage or disengage from the locking groove 160.

[0058] like Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, a mating member 2232 is connected to the guide member 223. The robot body 210 is provided with a first detection member 215 and a second detection member 216. When the first detection member 215 detects the mating member 2232, the locking post 214 retracts to a position completely separated from the locking groove 160. When the second detection member 216 detects the mating member 2232, the locking post 214 extends to a position engaging with the locking groove 160.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mating component 2232 can be a baffle. When the first detection component 215 detects the baffle, the locking post 214 retracts to a position completely separated from the locking groove 160, and the motor 221 stops working. When the second detection component 216 detects the baffle, the locking post 214 extends to a position engaging with the locking groove 160, and the motor 221 stops working. This facilitates control over the mating process of the locking post 214 and the locking groove 160.

[0060] In the above embodiments, for example, the first detection element 215 is a photoelectric switch, and the second detection element 216 is a photoelectric switch. Of course, in other embodiments, the first detection element 215 is a micro switch, and the second detection element 216 is a photoelectric switch. Alternatively, the first detection element 215 is a photoelectric switch, and the second detection element 216 is a micro switch. Or, the first detection element 215 is a micro switch, and the second detection element 216 is a micro switch.

[0061] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the shell of the robot body 210 is provided with a limiting member 230. The limiting member 230 is disposed through the top or side of the shell, and the limiting member 230 has a through hole. The locking post 214 passes through the through hole, and the limiting member 230 is used to restrict the radial movement of the locking post 214. In this embodiment, by providing a limiting member 230 on the shell of the robot body 210, the radial movement of the locking post 214 during extension and retraction is prevented, thereby improving the stability of the locking post 214 during movement and facilitating the engagement or disengagement of the locking post 214 with the locking groove 160. The radial direction of the locking post 214 refers to the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the locking post 214, which is the radial direction of the through hole.

[0062] In the embodiments described above, the limiting member 230 can be made of a metal material, such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, to prevent wear caused by contact between the locking post 214 and the limiting member 230 during movement. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting member 230 can also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​post 214 is located at the top of the robot body 210, the snap-fit ​​slot 160 is located at the bottom of the home mobile platform 100, and the drive mechanism 220 is used to drive the snap-fit ​​post 214 to rise and fall, so that the snap-fit ​​post 214 and the snap-fit ​​slot 160 can engage or disengage; wherein, when the snap-fit ​​post 214 rises, the snap-fit ​​post 214 and the snap-fit ​​slot 160 can engage, and when the snap-fit ​​post 214 falls, the snap-fit ​​post 214 and the snap-fit ​​slot 160 disengage.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the cleaning robot 200 has two vertically extending locking posts 214, which are symmetrically located on opposite sides of the robot's movement axis. The top of the locking posts 214 is lower than or flush with the upper surface of the robot body 210. When the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the home moving platform 100, the locking posts 214 protrude upwards from the upper surface of the cleaning robot 200 and engage with the locking groove 160, thereby fixing the top of the cleaning robot 200 to the home moving platform 100. The two locking posts 214 are symmetrically located on opposite sides of the cleaning robot 200's movement axis. In some cases, three locking posts 214 may be provided, with the third locking post 214 located on the movement axis of the cleaning robot 200. Before the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the platform 110, the top of the locking post 214 is either lower than or flush with the upper surface of the cleaning robot 200, which allows the cleaning robot 200 to maintain a good appearance and prevents the locking post 214 from colliding with other home appliances in the house.

[0065] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​post 214 is located on the side of the robot body 210, the snap-fit ​​groove 160 is located on the side of the home mobile platform 100, and the drive mechanism 220 is used to drive the snap-fit ​​post 214 to extend or retract, so that the snap-fit ​​post 214 and the snap-fit ​​groove 160 are engaged or disengaged; wherein, when the snap-fit ​​post 214 extends outward, the snap-fit ​​post 214 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 160, and when the snap-fit ​​post 214 retracts inward, the snap-fit ​​post 214 disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 160.

[0066] Specifically, the robot body 210 has two horizontally or obliquely extending locking posts 214 on its side, symmetrically located on opposite sides of the axis of motion of the cleaning robot 200. The ends of the locking posts 214 are located inside the robot body 210 or flush with the side of the robot body 210. When the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the home moving platform 100, the locking posts 214 protrude outward from the side of the robot body 210 and engage with the locking groove 160, thereby fixing the top of the robot body 210 to the home moving platform 100. Before the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the platform 110, the ends of the locking posts 214 are located inside the robot body 210 or flush with the side of the robot body 210, which allows the cleaning robot 200 to maintain a good appearance and prevents the locking posts 214 from colliding with other home appliances in the house.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the cleaning robot 200 is combined with the home mobile platform 100, the projected area of ​​the home mobile platform 100 on the ground is larger than the projected area of ​​the robot body 210, and the vertical axis of the robot body 210 coincides with the vertical axis of the home mobile platform 100.

[0068] like Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, embodiments of this application also provide a home mobile platform 100, which can be combined with the cleaning robot 200 described in any of the above embodiments. The home mobile platform 100 includes a platform 110, a snap-fit ​​slot 160, and a movable support structure 120.

[0069] Platform 110 can serve as a support structure for home furnishings 300, meaning that home furnishings 300 can be placed on platform 110, thereby fulfilling the need for moving and using home furnishings 300. Platform 110 can be in various shapes such as round or square.

[0070] Combination Figure 11 As shown, the movable support structure 120 is connected to the bottom of the platform 110, and the movable support structure 120 is used to support and drive the platform 110 to move. The movable support structure 120 includes legs and casters or ordinary rollers, tracks, etc., disposed at the bottom of the legs. The movable support structure 120 may also only include casters or ordinary rollers, tracks, etc., disposed on the platform 110. This configuration allows the home mobile platform 100 to follow the cleaning robot 200 forward, backward, or turn well. The number of movable support structures 120 can be three or four. This configuration helps to improve the stability of the platform 110.

[0071] The snap-fit ​​slot 160 is located on the bottom or side of the platform 110. After the platform 110 is aligned with the cleaning robot 200, the snap-fit ​​slot 160 is used to engage with the snap-fit ​​post 214 on the top or side of the cleaning robot 200 to fix the platform 110 to the top of the cleaning robot 200. After the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with the home mobile platform 100, the snap-fit ​​post 214 engages with the snap-fit ​​slot 160 to fix the top of the robot body 210 to the home mobile platform 100, facilitating the connection between the cleaning robot 200 and the home mobile platform 100.
