Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning robots, and in particular to a crushing and diversion device and a cleaning robot. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, robots have been widely used in real life, especially in pipeline dredging. Pipeline dredging refers to clearing silt and other waste from pipelines to maintain their smooth flow and prevent urban flooding. Failure to regularly dredge pipelines can lead to sewage overflows, environmental pollution, and inconvenience to people's lives. Due to the complex environment and limited space within pipelines, manual dredging is highly inefficient. The intervention of robots has greatly improved dredging efficiency. However, current dredging robots lack diversion capabilities, failing to divert debris from the silt in advance to reduce resistance. This can cause the robots to suck in gravel, branches, and other debris, becoming stuck or damaged. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a crushing and diversion device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a crushing and diversion device installed at the front end of the forward side of a cleaning robot. The crushing and diversion device includes a crushing unit and diversion units installed on both sides of the crushing unit. The crushing unit is used to crush debris on the forward side of the cleaning robot, and the diversion units are used to carry the crushed debris and divert it to both sides of the cleaning robot.
[0005] In one embodiment, the crushing and diversion device includes an installation unit mounted on the crushing unit, and the diversion unit mounted on the installation unit.
[0006] In one embodiment, the crushing unit includes a mounting rod and a crushing head. The mounting rod extends forward from the front end of the cleaning robot, and the crushing head is disposed at the end of the mounting rod.
[0007] In one embodiment, the mounting unit includes a mounting plate mounted on the mounting rod, the mounting plate being U-shaped with an opening facing the crushing head, and the diversion unit being partially housed within the mounting plate.
[0008] In one embodiment, the diversion unit includes a drive gear, a driven gear, and a diversion track, with both ends of the diversion track respectively mounted on the drive gear and the driven gear.
[0009] In one embodiment, the diversion tracks of the two diversion units are respectively disposed on both sides of the crushing head.
[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is inclined from the mounting rod on both sides toward the mounting rod.
[0011] In addition, this utility model also provides a cleaning robot, which includes a robot body and a crushing and diverting device disposed on the forward side of the robot body.
[0012] In this invention, a crushing and diversion device is located at the front end of the forward-moving side of the cleaning robot. The device includes a crushing unit and diversion units on both sides of the crushing unit. The crushing unit crushes debris on the forward-moving side of the cleaning robot, and the diversion units carry the crushed debris and divert it to both sides of the cleaning robot. Therefore, in this invention, when the cleaning robot moves forward, the crushing unit effectively pushes away, breaks, and separates obstacles to both sides for initial processing. Subsequently, the diversion units divert the obstacles to both sides, thus diverting obstacles in complex environments, reducing resistance, and significantly reducing the risk of the cleaning robot getting stuck or damaged due to the ingestion of foreign objects during operation.

[0018] 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.
[0019] 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.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0021] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0022] This utility model provides a crushing and diversion device.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the crushing and diversion device provided in this embodiment of the utility model is disposed at the front end of the forward side of the cleaning robot. The crushing and diversion device includes a crushing unit 10 and diversion units 20 disposed on both sides of the crushing unit 10. The crushing unit 10 is used to crush the debris on the forward side of the cleaning robot, and the diversion units 20 are used to carry the crushed debris and divert it to both sides of the cleaning robot.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the cleaning robot moves forward, the crushing unit 10 can effectively push away, break, and separate the obstacles to both sides for preliminary processing. Then, the diversion unit 20 can divert the obstacles to both sides, thereby diverting obstacles in complex environments, reducing resistance, and greatly reducing the risk of the cleaning robot getting stuck or damaged due to the inhalation of foreign objects during operation.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2The crushing and diversion device includes an installation unit, which is mounted on the crushing unit 10, and the diversion unit 20 is mounted on the installation unit. Optionally, the crushing and diversion device can be installed on the cleaning robot in a detachable manner, which not only facilitates loading and transportation but also facilitates subsequent maintenance.
[0026] Specifically, the crushing unit 10 includes a mounting rod 11 and a crushing head 12. The mounting rod 11 extends forward from the front end of the cleaning robot, and the crushing head 12 is located at the end of the mounting rod 11. In this embodiment, the crushing head 12 is cone-shaped and faces forward. The cone-shaped crushing head 12 can divert obstacles to both sides, and the diversion units 20 on both sides can further divert the obstacles to both sides of the robot. The parts that cannot be diverted (i.e., sludge, etc.) can be collected from the collection device on the front side of the robot body 100. This achieves the diversion of larger obstacles in the sludge (such as gravel, branches, and other debris that are easy to get stuck) to both sides that the collection device cannot collect.
[0027] The mounting unit includes a mounting plate 30 mounted on the mounting rod 11. The mounting plate 30 is U-shaped with its opening facing the crushing head 12. The diversion unit 20 is partially housed within the mounting plate 30. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 30 is inclined from the mounting rod 11 on both sides towards the mounting rod 11. The diversion tracks 23 of the two diversion units 20 are respectively located on both sides of the crushing head 12, thus enabling better collection of obstacles into the mounting plate 30 for processing by the crushing unit 10 and the diversion unit 20. Furthermore, the length of the mounting plate 30 can be set to be greater than the width of the robot body 100 (generally, greater than the width of the collecting device), thereby preventing some obstacles from flowing into the collecting device.
[0028] For example, the diversion unit 20 includes a drive gear 21, a driven gear 22, and a diversion track 23, with both ends of the diversion track 23 respectively mounted on the drive gear 21 and the driven gear 22. In this embodiment, the drive gear 21 can be driven by a drive motor. In this embodiment, the transmission direction of both sides of the diversion track 23 is outward, thereby achieving the purpose of diverting the flow to both sides. The drive motor can be connected to the controller of the cleaning robot to achieve automatic control.
[0029] It is understood that the principles of sludge collection and cleaning, as well as the electrical control principles of the sludge cleaning robot, are all existing technologies. This application does not make any improvements to the above-mentioned existing technologies and can directly use existing equipment. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on the above-mentioned existing technologies.
[0030] Furthermore, this utility model also provides a cleaning robot, which includes a robot body 100 and a crushing and diverting device disposed on the forward side of the robot body 100. Since the cleaning robot adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
