Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and more specifically, to a vacuum cleaning automatic cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the dust removal industry, vacuum cleaning systems utilize high-negative-pressure centrifugal fans or vacuum pumps as power sources and dust collectors as filtration units. These systems connect to cleaning tools via pipelines for on-site dust removal. The pipelines are distributed throughout the workshop where cleaning is required, and pre-installed flip-top wall valves allow for the connection of specialized cleaning tools to effectively clean various areas generated during daily operations and production processes.

[0003] Traditional vacuum cleaning systems require workers to use handheld cleaning tools to clean the floor. If the factory area is too large, it takes a lot of time and manpower to clean.

[0004] Currently, there are automatic robotic vacuum cleaners for home use, which come equipped with a dustbin, filter, and fan to automatically navigate and clean indoor spaces. However, due to their built-in fan, they are quite noisy during operation; they can only clean small spaces, as their dustbin cannot hold larger areas, and they are unsuitable for use in harsh environments such as factories. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a vacuum cleaning automatic cleaning robot, which has the advantage of automated floor cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum cleaning automatic cleaning robot, comprising a cleaning robot, a connecting robot, a relay robot, and a central cleaning and dust removal system. The input end of the cleaning robot is threaded with a flexible hose, and the other end of the flexible hose is threaded with the output end of the connecting robot. The central cleaning and dust removal system is provided with multiple end ports.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the relay robot is positioned below the middle of the hose, and is located between the cleaning robot and the take-up robot.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the cleaning robot is provided with a collection port, which is matched with a flexible hose.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a pneumatic valve is provided at the rear end of the end port, and the end port is matched with the input end of the pipe-connecting robot.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the takeover robot is equipped with a camera, and the cleaning robot is equipped with a wireless communication module.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention combines an automatic sweeping robot with a central vacuum cleaning system to achieve automated floor cleaning in factories, freeing up labor, cleaning the factory environment, and protecting workers' health.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a vacuum cleaning automatic cleaning robot, including a cleaning robot 1, a connecting robot 3, a relay robot 8 and a central cleaning and dust removal system 10. The input end of the cleaning robot 1 is threaded with a hose 2, and the other end of the hose 2 is threaded with the output end of the connecting robot 3. The central cleaning and dust removal system 10 is provided with multiple end ports 4.

[0021] The relay robot 8 is positioned below the middle of the hose 2, between the cleaning robot 1 and the connecting robot 3. The bottom of the cleaning robot 1 has a collection port 19 that matches the hose 2. The rear end of the end port 4 is equipped with a pneumatic valve 5 that matches the input end of the connecting robot 3. The top of the connecting robot 3 is equipped with a camera, and the cleaning robot 1 is equipped with a wireless communication module.

[0022] The automatic cleaning robot 1 needs to be used in conjunction with a vacuum cleaning system. The robot consists of two parts: a takeover robot 3 and a cleaning robot 1, which are connected by a hose 2. The takeover robot 3 is responsible for connecting the hose 2 to the end port 4 of the vacuum cleaning system, while the cleaning robot 1 cleans the work area.

[0023] The automatic cleaning robot 1 will automatically select the end pipes to be connected according to the set cleaning time and cleaning range, and clean the floor one by one.

[0024] Regarding the vacuum cleaning system, compared to the traditional system, the end-capped wall valve is eliminated and replaced with an electric or pneumatic on / off valve, whose switching is controlled by the control system.

[0025] Users can set the areas and times that need to be cleaned in the factory. The system will automatically control the cleaning robot 1 to connect to the corresponding pipes for cleaning according to the settings. Multiple cleaning robots 1 can be set up in the factory to work simultaneously, further improving work efficiency.

[0026] The takeover robot 3 carries a quick connector and moves together with the cleaning robot 1 during takeover. Upon reaching the designated pipe opening, the takeover robot 3 uses a camera for visual recognition to align the quick connector with the opening and connect it. After connection, the cleaning robot 1's built-in wireless communication module sends an access signal to the control system. Upon receiving the signal, the control system opens the valve at the corresponding pipe opening and sends an opening completion signal back to the cleaning robot 1. The cleaning robot 1, upon receiving the signal, sends an access completion signal to the control system, ending the takeover communication process. If the cleaning robot 1 does not receive an opening completion signal after sending the access signal, it will sound an alarm.

[0027] After confirming that the takeover is complete, the cleaning robot 1 will automatically clean the movable area according to the length of the hose 2 between the takeover robot 3 and the cleaning robot 1.

[0028] If the activity area needs to be further extended, a relay robot 8 can be added between the takeover robot 3 and the cleaning robot 1. Its function is to lift the traction hose 2 to prevent the hose 2 from becoming too long and getting tangled.

[0029] When the three robots are moving, the cleaning robot 1 will find its way, and the relay robot 8 and the takeover robot 3 will follow the path of the cleaning robot 1 and maintain a distance according to the preset length of the hose 2.

[0030] During takeover, the cleaning robot 1 will first go to the predetermined position of the takeover robot 3, then to the preset position of the relay robot 8, and finally reach the activity boundary. Subsequently, the relay robot 8 and the takeover robot 3 follow the path and reach the preset position. After the takeover robot 3 reaches the preset position, it begins to take over.

[0031] During cleaning after takeover, the cleaning robot 1 determines its own range of motion based on the preset hose radius 14, and determines the range of motion for this cleaning based on the position of other end ports and the cleaning area. Then, it moves through the entire cleaning area according to the reversal path. During cleaning, the relay robot 8 determines the nearest cooperating point, the takeover robot 3, on the vertical center line between the target point of the cleaning robot 1 and the target point of the cleaning robot 1, based on the preset hose radius 14, i.e., the target position of the cleaning robot 1, and moves accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown: When the relay robot 8 is not connected, the cleaning range of the cleaning robot 1 is as shown in cleaning activity range 16. When the relay robot 8 is connected, the cleaning robot 1 and the takeover robot 3 are located at takeover robot point 17 and cleaning robot point 19 respectively. The cleaning range of the cleaning robot 1 is as shown in cleaning activity range 212.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown: The cleaning system is located inside the wall 13. The relay robot 3 is connected to the central cleaning and dust removal system 10 at the relay robot point 7. When the cleaning robot 1 performs cleaning operations, it moves along the cleaning robot route 11 from the cleaning robot point 21. At this time, the relay robot 8 is located at the relay robot assistance point 20. When the cleaning robot 1 moves to the cleaning robot point 18, the relay robot 8 is located at the relay robot cooperation point 17. When the cleaning robot 1 moves to the cleaning robot point 16, the relay robot 8 is located at the relay robot cooperation point 15.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] The takeover robot 3 carries a quick connector and moves together with the cleaning robot 1 during takeover. Upon reaching the designated pipe opening, the takeover robot 3 uses a camera for visual recognition to align the quick connector with the opening and connect it. After connection, the cleaning robot 1's built-in wireless communication module sends an access signal to the control system. Upon receiving the signal, the control system opens the valve at the corresponding pipe opening and sends an opening completion signal back to the cleaning robot 1. The cleaning robot 1, upon receiving the signal, sends an access completion signal to the control system, ending the takeover communication process. If the cleaning robot 1 does not receive an opening completion signal after sending the access signal, it will sound an alarm.

[0036] After confirming that the takeover is complete, the cleaning robot 1 will automatically clean the movable area according to the length of the hose 2 between the takeover robot 3 and the cleaning robot 1.

[0037] If the activity area needs to be further extended, a relay robot 8 can be added between the takeover robot 3 and the cleaning robot 1. Its function is to lift the traction hose 2 to prevent the hose 2 from becoming too long and getting tangled.

[0038] When the three robots are moving, the cleaning robot 1 will find its way, and the relay robot 8 and the takeover robot 3 will follow the path of the cleaning robot 1 and maintain a distance according to the preset length of the hose 2.

[0039] During takeover, the cleaning robot 1 will first go to the predetermined position of the takeover robot 3, then to the preset position of the relay robot 8, and finally reach the activity boundary. Subsequently, the relay robot 8 and the takeover robot 3 follow the path and reach the preset position. After the takeover robot 3 reaches the preset position, it begins to take over.

[0040] During cleaning after takeover, the cleaning robot 1 determines its own range of motion based on the preset hose radius 14, and determines the range of motion for this cleaning based on the position of other end ports and the cleaning area. Then, it moves through the entire cleaning area according to the reversal path. During cleaning, the relay robot 8 determines the nearest cooperating point, the takeover robot 3, on the vertical center line between the target point of the cleaning robot 1 and the target point of the cleaning robot 1, based on the preset hose radius 14, i.e., the target position of the cleaning robot 1, and moves accordingly.
