Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning robots, and more specifically, to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart home technology, cleaning devices such as robotic vacuum cleaners have become essential tools for household cleaning. However, these devices have limitations in terms of cleaning functions and scene adaptability, resulting in poor flexibility of use. For example, they are typically equipped with only a single cleaning tool, such as a vacuum cleaner or a mop, and this tool is used for different types of dirt. This can lead to incomplete cleaning or wasted cleaning resources due to minor dirt.

[0003] For example, in related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners use mops to clean different types of dirt, such as large water stains, small water stains, and severe dirt (e.g., soy sauce, paint, animal feces). Using a mop for small water stains is overkill, leading to frequent mop washing and wasting cleaning resources. For severe dirt, it not only results in incomplete cleaning but also contaminates the mop, causing inconvenience for subsequent use of the robotic vacuum cleaner.

[0004] It is evident that the relevant technologies suffer from a lack of flexibility in the use of cleaning equipment across different cleaning scenarios. Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address this issue.

[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background art described herein. Therefore, the background art may contain information that would not be considered part of the prior art by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 To address the technical problems described in the background section, embodiments of this utility model provide a cleaning device comprising: a main unit 1, which has a driving device to move the main unit 1 within a workspace; the main unit 1 also has a cleaning device 11 to clean the environment near the main unit 1; a robotic arm 2, which is disposed on the main unit 1 and is separate from the main unit 1; a first cleaning component 3, which is movably disposed relative to the main unit 1; and a detection device 5, which is disposed on the main unit 1 to detect dirt to be cleaned; wherein the robotic arm 2 can pick up the first cleaning component 3 and use the first cleaning component 3 to clean the dirt to be cleaned.

[0028] The cleaning equipment employing this structural design, in addition to a cleaning device 11 on the main unit 1 for cleaning the surrounding environment, also includes a robotic arm 2, a first cleaning component 3, and a detection device 5. During use, the detection device 5 detects the dirt to be cleaned. If the dirt is suitable for cleaning with the cleaning device 11, the device can be controlled to clean it. If the dirt is not suitable for cleaning with the device 11 (e.g., using the device 11 might result in incomplete cleaning or waste of resources due to small dirt), the robotic arm 2 picks up the first cleaning component 3 to clean it. This allows for the selection of a more suitable cleaning solution after the detection device 5 detects the dirt, improving cleaning effectiveness, avoiding resource waste, and enhancing the flexibility of the cleaning equipment. It also solves the technical problem of poor flexibility in the use of cleaning equipment in different cleaning scenarios in related technologies.

[0029] The aforementioned separate configuration, where the first cleaning component 3 and the host unit 1 are not a single unit, ensures that the robotic arm 2 can pick up the first cleaning component 3 and perform cleaning operations. Specifically, the relative positional relationship between the first cleaning component 3 and the host unit 1 can take many different forms. For example, the first cleaning component 3 can be mounted on the host unit 1 and be movable relative to it. Another example is that the first cleaning component 3 can be located in a different position than the host unit 1 (e.g., on the base station of the cleaning equipment), and can move freely relative to it. In practical implementation, the first cleaning component 3 can be any type of cleaning component, such as a rag, paper towel, vacuum cleaner, brush, etc.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the detection device 5 includes at least one of the following: an image recognition module, a humidity detection module, and a chemical composition analysis module.

[0031] In this embodiment, based on the above-mentioned modules, the detection device 5 can acquire information such as images, humidity, and chemical composition of the dirt to be cleaned during actual use, thereby facilitating a more accurate judgment of the dirt condition and selecting a more suitable cleaning solution.

[0032] For example, in one specific embodiment, the detection device 5 includes an image recognition module, and the first cleaning component 3 is a rag. When the image recognition module identifies a small area of ​​water stains or target dirt such as soy sauce, it controls the robotic arm 2 to grab the first cleaning component 3 for cleaning. In another embodiment, the detection device 5 may also be equipped with a humidity detection module, a chemical composition analysis module, etc., so as to more accurately determine the type of dirt based on the humidity and / or chemical composition analysis results of the stain. For example, the first cleaning component 3 is a tissue box. When image analysis, humidity analysis, and chemical composition analysis reveal that the dirt type is animal feces, it controls the robotic arm 2 to grab the first cleaning component 3 for cleaning.

[0033] Specifically, the cleaning device 11 includes a mop, and the first cleaning component 3 is a tissue or a rag. In this embodiment, the cleaning device 11 includes a mop, and the first cleaning component 3 is a tissue or a rag. That is, in addition to the mop, the cleaning device also includes a tissue or rag structure that serves the same wiping function. Compared with related technologies that only include a mop, this structural design offers greater flexibility in use.

[0034] For example, when cleaning small water stains, using a mop would require subsequent cleaning of the mop, which is wasteful of cleaning resources. In this embodiment, by designing a paper towel or cloth dispenser, the robotic arm 2 can use the cloth to dry small water stains, eliminating the need for a mop, effectively reducing water waste, mop cleaning frequency, mop wear, and electricity consumption.

[0035] For example, when cleaning dirty substances such as sewage, soy sauce, or animal feces, using a mop is not only difficult to clean thoroughly but also contaminates the mop, significantly impacting the subsequent use of the cleaning equipment. In this embodiment, however, the robotic arm 2 can use tissue paper to wipe away these substances, improving cleaning efficiency and preventing mop contamination, resulting in better practical performance.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a second cleaning component 4, which is different from the first cleaning component 3. The second cleaning component 4 is separately disposed from the main unit 1, and the robotic arm 2 can pick up the second cleaning component 4 to clean the dirt to be cleaned.

[0037] In these embodiments, the cleaning device also includes a second cleaning component 4, which is different from the first cleaning component 3. In actual use, the robotic arm 2 can selectively pick up either the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 for cleaning, depending on the specific condition of the dirt. This provides the cleaning device with more cleaning options during the cleaning process, further enhancing its flexibility and allowing it to better adapt to various cleaning scenarios. Similar to the first cleaning component 3, the aforementioned separate arrangement, i.e., the second cleaning component 4 and the host 1, is not an integrated structure, ensuring that the robotic arm 2 can pick up the second cleaning component 4 and perform the cleaning operation. Specifically, the relative positional relationship between the second cleaning component 4 and the host 1 can take many different forms. For example, the second cleaning component 4 can be mounted on the host 1 and is movable relative to the host 1. Another example is that the second cleaning component 4 can be mounted in a location other than the host 1 (e.g., on the base station of the cleaning device), and is freely movable relative to the host 1.

[0038] In actual implementation, the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 can be various components with cleaning functions, such as the aforementioned tissue paper and rag, or brushes, vacuuming structures, lint-collecting structures, etc., which can be flexibly selected according to the actual cleaning scenario.

[0039] Specifically, one of the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 is a tissue box, and the other is a rag. In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning device 11 is a mop, and one of the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 is a tissue box, and the other is a rag. By using a combination of cleaning components such as a mop, tissue box, and rag, it is possible to better cover and clean large areas of dirt (e.g., large water stains, overall room cleaning), small areas of dirt (e.g., small water stains), and relatively dirty stains (e.g., dark-colored stains like soy sauce, or heavily soiled stains like animal feces). This allows the cleaning equipment to make more rational use of cleaning resources (cleaning resources can be understood as including but not limited to: hardware resources, water resources, electricity resources, etc.), resulting in better cleaning effects and excellent practical application performance.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the cleaning equipment includes at least one of the following: a first supply device 10, wherein the first supply device 10 is disposed on the host 1 to retrieve a first cleaning component 3 from the first supply device 10 via a robotic arm 2; and / or, the cleaning equipment includes a base station 6, wherein the first supply device 10 is disposed on the base station 6 to retrieve the first cleaning component 3 from the first supply device 10 via a robotic arm 2; a first recycling device 30, wherein the first recycling device 30 is disposed on the host 1 to place the used first cleaning component 3 into the first recycling device 30 via a robotic arm 2; and / or, the cleaning equipment includes a base station 6, wherein the first recycling device 30 is disposed on the base station 6 to place the used first cleaning component 3 into the first recycling device 30 via a robotic arm 2. A recycling device 30; a second supply device 20, wherein the second supply device 20 is disposed on the host 1 to retrieve the second cleaning component 4 from the second supply device 20 by means of a robotic arm 2; and / or, the cleaning equipment includes a base station 6, wherein the second supply device 20 is disposed on the base station 6 to retrieve the second cleaning component 4 from the second supply device 20 by means of a robotic arm 2; a second recycling device 40, wherein the second recycling device 40 is disposed on the host 1 to place the used second cleaning component 4 into the second recycling device 40 by means of a robotic arm 2; and / or, the cleaning equipment includes a base station 6, wherein the second recycling device 40 is disposed on the base station 6 to place the used second cleaning component 4 into the second recycling device 40 by means of a robotic arm 2.

[0041] For example, in one specific embodiment, the first supply device 10 is a tissue box, from which the robotic arm 2 can extract tissues. The second supply device 20 is a dishcloth box, from which the robotic arm 2 can extract dishcloths.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the first recycling device 30 is used to recycle used tissues, and the second recycling device 40 is used to recycle used cleaning cloths. This achieves the classified recycling of cleaning consumables, facilitating subsequent waste disposal operations. In actual implementation, the locations of the first supply device 10, the second supply device 20, the first recycling device 30, and the second recycling device 40 can be flexibly selected, for example, designed on the host 1 or on the base station 6.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the robotic arm 2 has a picking component 21 to selectively pick up or place the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4. Specifically, the specific structural form of the picking component 21 can also be varied, as long as it can realize the picking and placing of the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4. For example, it can be a clamping structure to clamp the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4; another example is that it can be a negative pressure adsorption structure to adsorb the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 through negative pressure, etc.

[0044] In another alternative embodiment, the cleaning device includes a mounting base 50 (such as...). Figure 2 As shown, the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 are both disposed on the mounting base 50. At least a portion of the mounting base 50 is movably disposed relative to the host 1. The robotic arm 2 can drive the mounting base 50 to move so as to selectively bring the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 into contact with the dirt to be cleaned, so as to clean the dirt to be cleaned.

[0045] In this embodiment, an independent mounting base 50 is designed, which is partially or entirely movable relative to the host 1. The robotic arm 2 can drive the mounting base 50 to move, thereby selectively bringing the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 into contact with the dirt to be cleaned, and then using the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 to clean the dirt. For example, the mounting base 50 can swing relative to the host 1, and the robotic arm 2 can drive the mounting base 50 to swing, thereby bringing the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 into contact with the dirt to be cleaned; as another example, the mounting base 50 can slide relative to the host 1, thereby sliding the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 to the cleaning position, thereby bringing it into contact with the dirt to be cleaned. It should be noted that the name of the mounting base 50 mentioned above does not limit the specific structure of the mounting base 50, and it can be a structure of various shapes. Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device includes a mounting base 50. In this embodiment, the mounting base 50 is pivotally connected to a connector 60, which is connected to the main unit 1, thereby mounting the mounting base 50 onto the main unit 1. The first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 are both mounted on the mounting base 50. The robotic arm 2 can drive the mounting base 50 to rotate, thereby adjusting the positions of the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4, so that one of them comes into contact with the dirt, allowing selective use of the corresponding cleaning component for cleaning operations. In other optional embodiments, the mounting base 50 may also be directly pivotally connected to the main unit 1 without the connector 60.

[0046] Preferably, the base station 6 of the cleaning equipment is provided with a cleaning component processing device to perform at least one of the following operations on the used first cleaning component 3 and / or second cleaning component 4: cleaning, disinfection, and drying.

[0047] By designing a cleaning component processing device, the used first cleaning component 3 or second cleaning component 4 can be cleaned, disinfected, or dried. For cleaning components that can be recycled and reused (e.g., rags), after the above treatment, they can be reused for subsequent cleaning, thereby saving cleaning consumables. In actual implementation, the specific structural form of the cleaning component processing device can be flexibly selected. For example, a small cleaning station from related technologies can be selected, with the inlet of the cleaning station connected to the first recycling device 30 and / or the second recycling device 40, so as to clean, disinfect, or dry the recycled first cleaning component 3 or second cleaning component 4.

[0048] The cleaning equipment includes a controller, a robotic arm 2, and a detection device 5, all of which are communicatively connected to the controller. The cleaning equipment stores a computer program; when the computer program is executed by the processor, the controller performs the following steps:

[0049] Step S102: Receive detection information from the detection device 5 regarding the dirt to be cleaned;

[0050] Step S104: Based on the detection information, determine the cleaning method suitable for the dirt to be cleaned. The cleaning method includes at least one of the following:

[0051] Step S106: Use cleaning device 11 to clean the dirt to be cleaned; use first cleaning component 3 to clean the dirt to be cleaned; control the cleaning equipment to clean the dirt to be cleaned according to the cleaning plan corresponding to the cleaning method.

[0052] When using the cleaning equipment in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the controller first acquires the detection information collected by the detection device 5, which is the information obtained after the detection device 5 detects the dirt to be cleaned. Then, based on the detection information, it determines the cleaning method that matches the dirt to be cleaned. Based on this cleaning method, it controls the cleaning device 11 to perform cleaning or controls the robotic arm 2 to pick up the first cleaning part 3 for cleaning. In this way, after the detection device 5 detects the dirt to be cleaned, a more suitable cleaning plan can be selected to clean the dirt, which helps to improve the cleaning effect and avoid resource waste, improves the cleaning flexibility of the cleaning equipment, and solves the technical problem of poor flexibility of cleaning equipment in different cleaning scenarios in related technologies.

[0053] Specifically, when the cleaning equipment includes a second cleaning component 4, the cleaning method also includes: using the second cleaning component 4 to clean the dirt to be cleaned.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection information includes at least one of the following: image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information. Based on the detection information, determining the type of dirt to be cleaned includes: step S1041, determining the type of dirt to be cleaned using a preset judgment logic or a machine learning model based on at least one of the image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information. Based on the detection information, determining a cleaning method suitable for the dirt to be cleaned includes: determining the type of dirt to be cleaned based on the detection information, where the dirt type is one of multiple preset types; step S1042, determining a cleaning method suitable for the dirt to be cleaned from multiple cleaning methods based on the dirt type, wherein each preset type has a corresponding cleaning method.

[0055] In this embodiment, multiple preset types are set for different types of dirt. During use, the system can match the detection information from these preset types to select the matching type as the type of dirt to be cleaned. Furthermore, each preset type also has a corresponding cleaning method. After determining the type of dirt to be cleaned using the above method, the corresponding cleaning method can be matched, and then this method can be used to clean the dirt more effectively.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the detection information includes at least one of the following: image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information. For example, if the detection information includes all three, the state of the dirt to be cleaned can be more clearly understood based on the image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information, thereby selecting a more suitable cleaning strategy. Specifically, the type of dirt to be cleaned can be obtained based on the image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information, either through a preset fixed judgment logic or by using a machine learning model.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, a preset judgment logic is used for judgment. For example, for image information, if the size of the dirt to be cleaned is larger than a preset size, the cleaning device 11 (e.g., a mop) is used for cleaning; otherwise, the first cleaning component 3 or the second cleaning component 4 is used for cleaning. Furthermore, if the humidity information is less than or equal to a preset humidity, or if the chemical composition information contains a specific component (e.g., a component in feces), the first cleaning component 3 (e.g., tissue paper) is used for cleaning; otherwise, the second cleaning component 4 (e.g., a rag) is used for cleaning.

[0058] In another specific embodiment, a machine learning model is pre-trained. During model training, image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information of different dirt items labeled (dirt types) to be cleaned are input into the model to train it. In use, the image information, humidity information, and chemical composition information collected by the detection device 5 are input into the model to obtain the type of dirt to be cleaned.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0060] The cleaning device of this utility model embodiment includes: a main unit 1, which has a driving device to drive the main unit 1 to move within the workspace; the main unit 1 also has a cleaning device 11 to clean the environment near the main unit 1; a robotic arm 2, which is disposed on the main unit 1 and is movably disposed relative to the main unit 1; a first cleaning component 3, which is separately disposed from the main unit 1; and a detection device 5, which is disposed on the main unit 1 to detect the dirt to be cleaned; wherein the robotic arm 2 can pick up the first cleaning component 3 and use the first cleaning component 3 to clean the dirt to be cleaned. The cleaning equipment employing this structural design, in addition to a cleaning device 11 on the main unit 1 for cleaning the surrounding environment, also includes a robotic arm 2, a first cleaning component 3, and a detection device 5. During use, the detection device 5 detects the dirt to be cleaned. If the dirt is suitable for cleaning with the cleaning device 11, the device can be controlled to clean it. If the dirt is not suitable for cleaning with the device 11 (e.g., using the device 11 might result in incomplete cleaning or waste of resources due to small dirt), the robotic arm 2 picks up the first cleaning component 3 to clean it. This allows for the selection of a more suitable cleaning solution after the detection device 5 detects the dirt, improving cleaning effectiveness, avoiding resource waste, and enhancing the flexibility of the cleaning equipment. It also solves the technical problem of poor flexibility in the use of cleaning equipment in different cleaning scenarios in related technologies.
