Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuuming robot technology, specifically to an air conditioning duct vacuuming robot. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioning duct vacuuming robot is a robot specifically designed for cleaning the ducts in building air conditioning systems. Currently, dust is often sucked into the air intake of air conditioning duct units. Over time, a large amount of dust inevitably accumulates on the air intake hood, requiring timely cleaning to avoid affecting the normal operation of the duct unit. Since the air intake hood of an air conditioning duct unit is usually located at a high position, the vacuuming robot needs to be effectively adjusted for cleaning at different heights. No auxiliary tools should be used to lift the vacuuming robot, as this would affect its suction efficiency. Furthermore, when vacuuming the air intake hood at higher locations, the robot's position needs constant adjustment due to the typically long length of the hood to ensure thorough cleaning. This adjustment process presents several challenges. Excessive movement can lead to uneven cleaning. Avoiding jamming requires continuous height adjustments and stable movement. The numerous repetitive operations directly impact the vacuuming efficiency of the air conditioning duct vacuuming robot, thus reducing its overall effectiveness.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an air conditioning duct vacuuming robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioning duct vacuuming robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air conditioning duct vacuuming robot, including a robot base, a bracket installed on the top of the robot base, and a vacuum pump installed on the upper side of one outer wall of the bracket;

[0006] An operating table is installed on top of the bracket.

[0007] Preferably, a motor A is installed at the center of the top of the bracket, and a rotating shaft A is installed at the output end of the motor A.

[0008] Preferably, a dust removal pipe is installed at the air outlet of the dust pump, and a dust removal box is installed at one end of the dust removal pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the dust collection box is installed on the lower side of the outer wall of the bracket, and the air inlet end of the dust pump is equipped with a dust suction hose.

[0010] Preferably, a sleeve column is installed at the center of the bottom of the operating table, and guide columns are installed on both sides of the bottom of the operating table.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the guide column is slidably connected to the inner surface of the bracket, and the front and rear ends of the operating table are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft B.

[0012] Preferably, a synchronous pulley is provided on one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft B, and a motor B is installed at the front end of one side of the outer wall of the operating table, with the output end of the motor B fixedly connected to one end of the front rotating shaft B.

[0013] Preferably, a movable seat is threadedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft B. A dust inlet head is provided at the bottom center of the movable seat, brushes are installed on both sides of the top of the movable seat, and a dust suction cover is provided at the top center of the movable seat.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By connecting the operating platform to the outer wall of the rotating shaft A on motor A via a threaded connection, and by threading two sets of brushes to the two rotating shafts B inside the operating platform via a moving base, and by connecting the suction hose of the dust pump to the dust inlet head on the moving base, the robot base is moved to directly below the air intake hood of the air conditioner duct unit. Motor A drives the operating platform to rise until the brushes contact the bottom of the air intake hood, and then motor B drives the moving base to move horizontally left and right, thus enabling the brushes to clean the air intake hood. During the process, the dust pump, in conjunction with the dust intake hood, sucks up the dust during cleaning. The robot vacuum cleaner is designed for efficient dust removal. During the vacuuming process, no auxiliary tools are needed for height adjustment, as it has its own height adjustment function. This minimizes the need for auxiliary tools to increase height, which could affect vacuuming efficiency. Furthermore, the overall length of the control panel covers a large area of ​​the air duct intake, resulting in fast cleaning and reducing the need for the robot vacuum cleaner to constantly move and adjust the cleaning area. It also minimizes the need for repeated height adjustments due to jamming, effectively improving the vacuuming efficiency and overall performance of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an air conditioning duct vacuuming robot, please refer to... Figures 1-4 The system includes a robot base 1, a bracket 2 mounted on top of the robot base 1, a motor A201 mounted at the center of the top of the bracket 2, a rotating shaft A202 mounted at the output end of the motor A201, a vacuum pump 3 mounted on the upper part of one side of the bracket 2, a dust collection pipe 301 mounted at the air outlet of the vacuum pump 3, a dust collection box 302 mounted at one end of the dust collection pipe 301, and the dust collection box 302 mounted on the lower part of one side of the bracket 2. A vacuum suction hose 303 is mounted at the air inlet of the vacuum pump 3. The bracket 2 on the robot base 1 is connected to the dust collection box 302, and the vacuum pump 3 on the bracket 2 is connected to the dust collection box 302 via the dust collection pipe 301. The operation of the vacuum pump 3 and the dust collection box 302 is the same as that of existing vacuum cleaners, and its working principle is briefly described. For detailed understanding, the dust collection box 302 is a key component of the vacuum system. Its internal structure and function are designed to effectively separate and collect inhaled dust and debris, preventing them from entering the vacuum pump or being discharged back into the environment. The typical structure of the dust collection box 302 includes an inlet, filter media such as filter screens, filter bags, cyclone separators, and a dust collection area. Dust-laden air enters the dust collection box through the inlet and then passes through the filter media. The function of the filter media is to block dust particles and allow clean air to pass through. Depending on the design, the filter media can be a simple filter screen or a more complex filter bag or cyclone separator. The latter uses centrifugal force to separate particles from the airflow. The dust captured by the filter media settles into the dust collection area, which is usually the bottom of the dust collection box 302 for easy periodic cleaning.

[0023] An operating platform 4 is mounted on top of the support 2. A sleeve 401 is installed at the center of the bottom of the operating platform 4. Guide columns 402 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the operating platform 4. The outer wall of the guide column 402 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the support 2. The operating platform 4 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft A202 on the motor A201 via the sleeve 401. The four sets of guide columns 402 on the bottom are slidably set inside the support 2, so that the motor A201 can drive and control the operating platform 4 to perform lifting and lowering operations. The front and rear ends of the operating platform 4 are rotatably connected to rotating shafts. A synchronous pulley 404 is provided on one side of the outer wall of shaft B403. A motor B405 is installed at the front end of one side of the outer wall of the operating platform 4. The output end of the motor B405 is fixedly connected to one end of the front shaft B403. The two sets of shafts B403 are rotatably connected at the front and rear ends inside the operating platform 4, and the synchronous pulleys 404 on the two sets of shafts B403 are connected by a synchronous belt. Since the front motor B405 is fixedly connected to the front shaft B403, the motor B405 can drive and control the front shaft B403 to rotate forward. Alternatively, it can be reversed, synchronously driving the rear rotating shaft B403 to rotate forward or backward. A movable base 406 is threadedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft B403. A dust inlet head 407 is located at the center of the bottom of the movable base 406. Brushes 408 are installed on both sides of the top of the movable base 406, and a dust suction hood 409 is located at the center of the top of the movable base 406. The two sets of brushes 408 are threadedly connected to the two rotating shafts B403 inside the operating table 4 via the movable base 406. The suction hose 303 on the vacuum pump 3 is connected to the dust inlet head 407 on the movable base 406. The robot base 1 is moved to the air intake hood of the air conditioner duct unit. The control panel 4 is raised by motor A201 until the brush 408 contacts the bottom of the air intake hood. Then, the moving seat 406 is moved horizontally left and right by motor B405, so that the brush 408 can clean the air intake hood. During the process, the dust pump 3 works with the dust suction hood 409 to suck up the dust. The dust suction hood 409 and the dust inlet head 407 are integrated. The dust inlet head 407 is embedded in the center of the moving seat 406 and connected to the dust suction hood 409.

[0024] Working Principle: When using this utility model, the dust collection box 302 is installed on the bracket 2 on the robot base 1, and the dust pump 3 on the bracket 2 is connected to the dust collection box 302 via the dust collection pipe 301. The operation of the dust pump 3 and the dust collection box 302 is the same as that of existing vacuum cleaners. The working principle is briefly described for detailed understanding. The dust collection box 302 is a key component of the vacuuming system. Its internal structure and function are designed to effectively separate and collect the sucked-in dust and debris, preventing them from entering the vacuum pump or being discharged back into the environment. The typical structure of the dust collection box 302 includes an inlet, filter media such as filter screens, filter bags, cyclone separators, and a dust collection area. Dust-laden air enters the dust collection box through the inlet and then passes through the filter media. The function of the filter media is to block dust particles. The filter media allows clean air to pass through. Depending on the design, the filter media can be a simple filter screen or a more complex filter bag or cyclone separator. The latter uses centrifugal force to separate particulate matter from the airflow. The dust captured by the filter media settles into the dust collection area, which is usually the bottom of the dust collection box 302, for easy periodic cleaning. The operating platform 4 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft A202 on the motor A201 by the sleeve column 401 with a threaded connection, and the four sets of guide columns 402 on the bottom are slidably set in the bracket 2, so that the motor A201 can drive and control the operating platform 4 to perform lifting and lowering operations. The two sets of rotating shafts B403 are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the operating platform 4. The synchronous pulley 404 on B403 is connected by a synchronous belt. The front motor B405 is fixedly connected to the front shaft B403, allowing the motor B405 to drive the front shaft B403 to rotate forward or backward, synchronously driving the rear shaft B403 to rotate forward or backward. Two sets of brushes 408 are threadedly connected to the two sets of shafts B403 inside the operating table 4 via the movable base 406. The suction hose 303 on the dust pump 3 is connected to the dust inlet head 407 on the movable base 406, causing the robot base 1 to move directly below the air intake hood of the air conditioner duct unit. The operating table 4 is then raised by the motor A201 until the brushes 408 contact the bottom of the air intake hood, and then the motor B405 drives the control... The movable base 406 moves horizontally left and right, allowing the brush 408 to clean the air intake hood. During this process, the dust pump 3, in conjunction with the dust suction hood 409, sucks up the dust. The dust suction hood 409 and the dust inlet head 407 are integrated, with the dust inlet head 407 embedded in the center of the movable base 406 and connected to the dust suction hood 409. During the vacuuming process, the robot vacuum cleaner does not require auxiliary tools for height adjustment, as it has its own height adjustment function, minimizing the need for auxiliary tools to increase height and thus affecting vacuuming efficiency. Furthermore, the overall length of the operating platform 4 is relatively long, covering a large area of ​​the air intake hood of the air conditioning duct, resulting in fast cleaning and reducing the need for the air conditioning duct vacuum cleaner robot to constantly move and adjust the cleaning area.This also minimizes the possibility of jamming and repeatedly lowering the height, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the air conditioning duct vacuum robot and enhancing its overall performance.
