Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging equipment technology, and in particular to a charging base for a cleaning robot that prevents tipping. Background Technology
[0002] Large automated cleaning robots are widely used in crowded and spacious public places such as shopping malls and supermarkets to achieve efficient and automated cleaning operations. These robots, with their powerful cleaning capabilities and autonomous operation features, effectively reduce manual cleaning costs and improve cleaning efficiency and quality.
[0003] To ensure the continuous and stable operation of large cleaning robots, the charging dock, as the core equipment providing energy replenishment, must guarantee that the robot can smoothly return and reliably dock for charging after completing its cleaning task. However, in practical applications, due to various factors, the charging dock faces the risk of tipping over when the large cleaning robot returns to and contacts it.
[0004] Specifically, on the one hand, large cleaning robots are quite heavy, and even when moving at a low speed during recharging, they still generate significant impact force due to inertia. On the other hand, when the robot is repositioning itself, environmental factors (such as debris on the ground, changes in lighting, etc.) or its own positioning accuracy deviations may cause deviations in the contact position and angle between the robot and the charging dock, resulting in non-positive impact force. In addition, the existing charging dock's structural design is not specifically optimized for the above-mentioned impacts; its bottom support structure lacks stability and effective buffering and impact resistance mechanisms, making it difficult to offset the impact force generated when the robot makes contact.
[0005] If the charging dock tip over, it will not only prevent the robot vacuum from charging properly and affect subsequent cleaning operations, but it may also damage the charging dock itself. Furthermore, it could potentially cause safety accidents and economic losses due to collisions with surrounding goods, facilities, or people. Therefore, to address the issue of large robot vacuum charging docks easily tipping over upon return to the charging dock, there is an urgent need to develop a charging dock with anti-tipping functionality to improve its stability and safety, ensuring the reliable operation of large robot vacuums in places such as supermarkets and shopping malls. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model provides an anti-tipping charging base for a cleaning robot, which solves the technical problems of insufficient stability of the bottom support structure of existing charging bases and the lack of effective buffering and impact resistance mechanisms, making it difficult to offset the impact force generated when the robot comes into contact with it.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-tipping charging base for a cleaning robot, including a housing, an anti-slip base, a side handle, a charging component, and auxiliary components; the anti-slip base is located at the four corners of the bottom of the housing, the side handle is located on both sides of the housing, the charging component is located on the front of the housing, and the auxiliary components are located on the back of the housing.
[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary components include a torsion spring hinge, a bracket, and a roller; the hinge leaf of the torsion spring hinge is connected to the housing, the hinge arm of the torsion spring hinge is connected to the bracket, and the roller is connected to the bracket via a bearing.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting block is provided on one side of the torsion spring hinge to limit the minimum opening and closing angle of the torsion spring hinge.
[0010] Preferably, the opening on the limiting block is at the same position as the opening of the hinge leaf of the torsion spring hinge, and the opening on the bracket is at the same position as the opening of the hinge arm of the torsion spring hinge.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the roller is flush with the bottom surface of the anti-slip base.
[0012] Preferably, the charging assembly includes a mounting base, a spring, and an electrode plate; the mounting base is disposed in the housing, the electrode plate is movably mounted on the front side of the housing, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the mounting base and the electrode plate.
[0013] Preferably, the back of the box is provided with four protective feet, which are respectively located at the four corners of the back of the box.
[0014] Preferably, a counterweight metal block is placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box.
[0015] Compared with related technologies, the anti-tipping charging base for a cleaning robot provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This utility model provides a tilt-proof charging base for a cleaning robot. By setting auxiliary components, a torsion spring hinge is used to keep the roller in contact with the ground and provide elastic support, which enhances the stability of the charging base when it is impacted from the front. With the help of a limiting block to restrict the opening and closing angle of the torsion spring hinge, the charging base slides with the roller as the fulcrum instead of tilting directly when the impact is too large, which significantly reduces the risk of tipping.
[0017] This utility model provides a charging base for a cleaning robot that prevents tipping. The electrode plates connected by springs in the charging assembly can provide a buffer margin when the robot docks, reducing hard impacts. The protective foot pads provide cushioning for tipping in extreme cases, preventing damage to components. The dual buffering mechanism effectively reduces the impact force on the equipment.
[0018] This utility model provides a charging base for a cleaning robot that prevents tipping. A counterweight metal block is set at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box and the components are arranged in a sunken manner, which significantly reduces the overall center of gravity. Combined with the gripping performance of the anti-slip base, the static and dynamic stability of the charging base is improved from the structural design level.
[0019] This utility model provides a charging base for a cleaning robot that prevents tipping. The auxiliary components and torsion spring hinges share the same fastening screws, simplifying the installation structure. The design of the protective feet, rollers and anti-slip base ensures the anti-tipping function while taking into account the convenience of equipment movement and maintenance, and is suitable for the actual needs of complex public places such as shopping malls.
[0020] This utility model provides an anti-tipping charging base for a cleaning robot. Through multiple anti-tipping and buffer designs, it reduces the failure and damage of the charging base caused by impact, ensures stable charging of the cleaning robot, avoids affecting cleaning operations due to equipment failure, and reduces the risk of safety accidents and economic losses.

[0027] The above-mentioned and other technical features and advantages of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a tilt-proof cleaning robot charging base, including a housing 1, an anti-slip base 2, a side handle 3, and a charging component 4; the anti-slip base 2 is located at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1, the side handle 3 is located on both sides of the housing 1, and the charging component 4 is located on the front of the housing 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the anti-slip base 2 is installed with studs, which makes it easy to adjust the installation height and can adapt to uneven ground. The side handle 3 facilitates the movement of the housing 1. The charging component 4 is compatible with the charging port of the cleaning robot. When the cleaning robot is moved to a designated position and angle, the connection can be completed by direct contact.
[0031] In this embodiment, an auxiliary component 6 is also included. The auxiliary component 6 is disposed on the back of the housing 1. The auxiliary component 6 includes a torsion spring hinge 61, a bracket 62, and a roller 63. The hinge leaf of the torsion spring hinge 61 is connected to the housing 1, the hinge arm of the torsion spring hinge 61 is connected to the bracket 62, and the roller 63 is connected to the bracket 62 through a bearing.
[0032] The torsion spring hinge 61 ensures that the roller 63 remains in contact with the ground, providing a certain spring force to support the back of the housing 1 and improving the stability of the front of the housing 1 when it is impacted by the cleaning robot.
[0033] One side of the torsion spring hinge 61 is provided with a limiting block 64 to limit the minimum opening and closing angle of the torsion spring hinge 61.
[0034] The bottom surface of the roller 63 is flush with the bottom surface of the anti-slip base 2. After the box 1 is tilted to a certain angle, the torsion spring hinge 61 reaches the minimum opening angle. At this time, the box 1 will slide with the roller 63 as support to prevent the box from falling directly to the ground.
[0035] Specifically, the opening on the limiting block 64 is located at the same position as the hinge leaf opening of the torsion spring hinge 61, and the opening on the bracket 62 is located at the same position as the hinge arm opening of the torsion spring hinge 61.
[0036] The limiting block 64 and bracket 62 share the same fastening screws as the torsion spring hinge 61, simplifying the installation structure.
[0037] In this embodiment, four protective feet 5 are provided on the back of the housing 1, and the four protective feet 5 are respectively located at the four corners of the back of the housing 1. When the impact force on the housing 1 is too great and the auxiliary component 6 is unable to support it, the protective feet 5 can provide a certain cushioning when the housing 1 tilts backward, thus preventing the components inside the housing 1 from being damaged more severely.
[0038] The bottom of the inner cavity of box 1 is equipped with a counterweight metal block, which is not shown in the figure. For economic reasons, concrete or other materials can be used. The internal components are also placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of box 1 as much as possible to lower the center of gravity of box 1.
[0039] The charging assembly includes a mounting base 41, a spring 42, and an electrode plate 43. The mounting base 41 is disposed in the housing 1, the electrode plate 43 is movably mounted on the front of the housing 1, and the two ends of the spring 42 are respectively connected to the mounting base 41 and the electrode plate 43.
[0040] The spring 42 provides a certain buffer margin when the electrode plate 43 contacts the cleaning robot, avoiding a rigid connection and timely controlling the cleaning robot to stop moving, thereby reducing the impact force on the housing 1 during connection.
