Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lawn mowing equipment technology, specifically providing a collection device and a robot. Background Technology
[0002] Collection devices mounted on robots typically consist of a support assembly and a collection assembly. The support assembly guides the collection device as it moves with the robot, while the collection assembly collects debris such as fallen leaves and cut grass clippings during robot movement. However, in current collection devices, the height of the support assembly relative to the working surface is often less than that of the collection assembly to avoid excessive resistance during movement. But when cleaning moss or other dirt from the working surface, the greater distance between the collection assembly and the working surface limits its ability to effectively remove the dirt, thus restricting the types of debris the collection device can clean. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a collection device and robot to expand the types of cleaning.
[0004] This application provides a collection device, including:
[0005] Mounting components are used to connect to the robot body, which moves along the working surface;
[0006] The bracket is rotatably connected to the mounting component;
[0007] The support member is rotatably connected to the bracket;
[0008] The cleaning component is rotatably connected to the bracket and located on one side of the support component, and the rotation axis of the cleaning component about the bracket, the rotation axis of the support component about the bracket, and the rotation axis of the bracket about the mounting component are parallel to each other.
[0009] A driving component is provided on the mounting component and is used to drive the bracket to drive the support component and the cleaning component to rotate synchronously, so that the collection device can switch between a first working state and a second working state.
[0010] Specifically, when the collection device is in the first working state, the distance between the support member and the working surface is less than the distance between the cleaning member and the working surface; when the collection device is in the second working state, the distance between the support member and the working surface is greater than the distance between the cleaning member and the working surface.
[0011] In the aforementioned collection device, the drive unit drives the support bracket to rotate synchronously with the cleaning component, allowing the collection device to switch between a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the distance between the support component and the working surface is less than the distance between the cleaning component and the working surface; that is, the bottom of the support component is lower than the bottom of the cleaning component. Because the bottom of the support component is lower than the bottom of the cleaning component, during operation, the support component contacts the working surface, and the cleaning component removes fallen leaves, cut grass clippings, and other debris from the working surface. In the second working state, the distance between the support component and the working surface is greater than the distance between the cleaning component and the working surface; that is, the bottom of the support component is higher than the bottom of the cleaning component. During operation, the cleaning component contacts the working surface, thereby cleaning moss and other dirt located on the working surface during the movement of the collection device.
[0012] Therefore, the above-mentioned collection device switches between a first working state and a second working state through the set driving component, so as to clean up debris such as fallen leaves, grass clippings and dirt such as moss in different working states, thus expanding the cleaning types of the collection device.
[0013] In some embodiments, the bracket is provided with a first limiting body, and the driving member includes a driving body, a rotating body and a second limiting body. The second limiting body is disposed on the rotating body, and the driving body is disposed on the mounting member and connected to the rotating body, for driving the rotating body to move the second limiting body away from or abut against the first limiting body; wherein, when the second limiting body moves away from the first limiting body, the collecting device is in a first working state, and when the second limiting body abuts against the first limiting body, the collecting device is in a second working state.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bracket is further provided with a third limiting body. Along the rotation direction of the second limiting body, the third limiting body, the second limiting body and the first limiting body are arranged in sequence. The driving body is used to drive the rotating body to drive the second limiting body to abut against the third limiting body, so that the collecting device is converted from the second working state to the first working state.
[0015] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a driving body and a connecting body, the connecting body being connected to the driving body and the bracket respectively, and the driving body being disposed on the mounting component for driving the connecting body to rotate the bracket.
[0016] In some embodiments, the collection device further includes:
[0017] An elastic element, the two ends of which respectively abut against the mounting element and the bracket.
[0018] In some embodiments, the bracket is provided with a supporting portion for abutting against the driving member, and the supporting portion is a flexible member.
[0019] In some embodiments, the driving element includes a driving body and a first pull rope, with the two ends of the first pull rope connected to the driving body and the bracket respectively. The driving body is used to drive the first pull rope to be in a taut or slack state. When the first pull rope is in a slack state, the collecting device is in a first working state, and when the first pull rope is in a taut state, the collecting device is in a second working state.
[0020] In some embodiments, the collecting device further includes a reset member and a second pull rope, with the two ends of the second pull rope connected to the reset member and the bracket respectively. The reset member is disposed on the mounting member and is used to drive the second pull rope to be in a taut or slack state. When the second pull rope is in a taut state, the collecting device is in a first working state, and when the first pull rope is in a slack state, the collecting device is in a second working state.
[0021] In some embodiments, the collection device further includes:
[0022] A storage component is connected to the mounting component and located on the side of the cleaning component away from the support component, and the storage component has a storage opening on the side facing the cleaning component.
[0023] This application also provides a robot, including:
[0024] Robot body;
[0025] The aforementioned collection device has its mounting component connected to the robot body.
[0026] The collection device in the robot described above switches between a first working state and a second working state through a drive mechanism, so as to clean up debris such as fallen leaves, grass clippings and dirt such as moss in different working states, thus expanding the types of cleaning the robot can perform.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between the two; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. In the description of this application, it should be noted that "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0039] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] Please see Figure 1This application provides a collection device 100, including a mounting component 110, a bracket 120, a support component 130, a cleaning component 140, and a drive component 150. The mounting component 110 is used to connect to a robot body, which moves along a working surface. The bracket 120 is rotatably connected to the mounting component 110, the support component 130 is rotatably connected to the bracket 120, and the cleaning component 140 is rotatably connected to the bracket 120 and located on one side of the support component 130. The rotation axis of the cleaning component 140 around the bracket 120, the rotation axis of the support component 130 around the bracket 120, and the rotation axis of the bracket 120 around the mounting component 110 are parallel to each other. The drive component 150 is disposed on the mounting component 110 and is used to drive the bracket 120 to drive the support component 130 and the cleaning component 140 to rotate synchronously, so that the collection device 100 switches between a first working state and a second working state.
[0041] When the collecting device 100 is in its first working state, the distance between the support member 130 and the working surface is less than the distance between the cleaning member 140 and the working surface. At this time, the state of the collecting device 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, when the collecting device 100 is in the second working state, the distance between the support member 130 and the working surface is greater than the distance between the cleaning member 140 and the working surface. At this time, the state of the collecting device 100 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0042] In the aforementioned collection device 100, the driving component 150 drives the bracket 120 to rotate synchronously with the support component 130 and the cleaning component 140, so that the collection device 100 switches between a first working state and a second working state. When the collection device 100 is in the first working state, the distance between the support component 130 and the working surface is less than the distance between the cleaning component 140 and the working surface; that is, the bottom of the support component 130 is lower than the bottom of the cleaning component 140 (see...). Figure 2 Because the bottom of the support member 130 is lower than the bottom of the cleaning member 140, during operation, the support member 130 contacts the working surface, and the cleaning member 140 cleans up fallen leaves, cut grass clippings, and other debris from the working surface. When the collecting device 100 is in the second working state, the distance between the support member 130 and the working surface is greater than the distance between the cleaning member 140 and the working surface, that is, the bottom of the support member 130 is higher than the bottom of the cleaning member 140 (see...). Figure 3 During operation, the cleaning component 140 contacts the working surface, thereby cleaning moss and other dirt on the working surface as the collecting device 100 moves.
[0043] Therefore, the above-mentioned collection device 100 switches between a first working state and a second working state through the provided drive component 150, so as to clean up debris such as fallen leaves, grass clippings and dirt such as moss in different working states, thereby expanding the cleaning types of the collection device 100.
[0044] It should be noted that, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the mounting component 110 only illustrates part of the structure. In this embodiment, there are two brackets 120 and two driving components 150. The two driving components 150 and the two brackets 120 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The support component 130 is located between the two brackets 120 and is rotatably connected to the two brackets 120 respectively. The cleaning component 140 is located between the two brackets 120 and is rotatably connected to the two brackets 120 respectively.
[0045] For ease of description, the following description will focus only on a single bracket 120 and a single drive element 150.
[0046] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bracket 120 is provided with a first limiting body 160, and the driving member 150 includes a driving body 151a, a rotating body 152, and a second limiting body 153. The second limiting body 153 is disposed on the rotating body 152, and the driving body 151a is disposed on the mounting member 110 and connected to the rotating body 152, for driving the rotating body 152 to move the second limiting body 153 away from or abut against the first limiting body 160. For example, the driving body 151a can be a motor. Wherein, when the second limiting body 153 moves away from the first limiting body 160 (see...) Figure 4 When the collecting device 100 is in the first working state, and the second limiting body 153 abuts against the first limiting body 160 (see...), the collecting device 100 is in the first working state. Figure 5 The collecting device 100 is in its second working state.
[0047] Therefore, the first limiting body 160 and the second limiting body 153 occupy little space, which enables the miniaturization of the collecting device 100.
[0048] In this embodiment, both the first limiting body 160 and the second limiting body 153 are generally block-shaped structures.
[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the bracket 120 includes a main body 121 and a rotating shaft 122. The rotating shaft 122 is vertically connected to one end of the main body 121 and rotatably connected to the mounting member 110. The first limiting body 160 is connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 122. The support member 120 and the cleaning member 130 are rotatably connected to the main body 121.
[0050] In this embodiment, the support 120 includes a support body 121 and a roller 122. One end of the support body 121 is rotatably connected to the main body 121, and the other end of the support body 121 is rotatably connected to the roller 122. The roller 122 is used to guide the collection device 100 to move on the working surface.
[0051] In some embodiments, a third limiting body (not shown) is also provided on the rotating shaft 122 of the bracket 120. The third limiting body, the second limiting body 153 and the first limiting body 160 are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the second limiting body 153. The driving body 151a is used to drive the rotating body 152 to drive the second limiting body 153 to abut against the third limiting body, so that the collecting device 100 is converted from the second working state to the first working state.
[0052] Therefore, by using the third limiting body in conjunction with the second limiting body 153, the automatic setting of the collection device 100 switching from the second working state to the first working state can be realized, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the collection device 100 between different working states.
[0053] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the driving component 150 includes a driving body 151b and a connecting body 154. The connecting body 154 is connected to the driving body 151b and the bracket 120 respectively. The driving body 151b is disposed on the mounting component 110 and is used to drive the connecting body 154 to rotate the bracket 120. Exemplarily, the driving body 151b can be a motor or a cylinder.
[0054] In some embodiments, the collecting device 100 further includes an elastic element (not shown) with its two ends abutting against the mounting member 110 and the bracket 120, respectively. Exemplarily, the elastic element may be a spring.
[0055] Therefore, the elastic element enables elastic contact between the mounting part 110 and the bracket 120, avoiding collisions between them and improving their service life.
[0056] In some embodiments, the bracket 120 is provided with a supporting portion (not shown) for abutting against the drive member 150, and the supporting portion is a flexible member. Exemplarily, the first limiting body 160, the second limiting body 153, the third limiting body, and the connecting body 154 described above can all be supporting portions.
[0057] Therefore, the above-mentioned arrangement can reduce the collision when the bracket 120 and the drive component 150 come into contact, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the bracket 120 and the drive component 150.
[0058] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the driving element 150 includes a driving body 151c and a first pull rope 155. The two ends of the first pull rope 155 are respectively connected to the driving body 151c and the bracket 120. The driving body 151c is used to drive the first pull rope 155 to be in a taut or slack state. Specifically, when the first pull rope 155 is in a slack state (see...),... Figure 7When the collecting device 100 is in its first working state, and the first pull rope 155 is in a taut state (see...), the collecting device 100 is in its first working state. Figure 8 The collecting device 100 is in its second working state.
[0059] In some embodiments, the collecting device 100 further includes a reset member (not shown) and a second pull rope (not shown). The two ends of the second pull rope are respectively connected to the reset member and the bracket 120. The reset member is disposed on the mounting member 110 and is used to drive the second pull rope into a taut or slack state. When the second pull rope is taut, the collecting device 100 is in a first operating state; when the first pull rope is slack, the collecting device 100 is in a second operating state. Exemplarily, the reset member can be a cylinder or a motor.
[0060] Please see Figure 9 In some embodiments, the collection device 100 further includes a storage unit 170. The storage unit 170 is connected to the mounting member 110 and is located on the side of the cleaning member 140 opposite to the support member 130, and the storage unit 170 has a storage opening on the side facing the cleaning member 140.
[0061] Therefore, the storage device 170 can centrally collect the debris cleaned by the cleaning device 140, which helps to improve the collection efficiency of the collection device 100.
[0062] This application embodiment also provides a robot (not shown), including a robot body and the above-described collection device 100, with the mounting part 110 of the collection device 100 connected to the robot body.
[0063] The collection device 100 in the robot described above switches between a first working state and a second working state through a drive component 150, so as to clean up debris such as fallen leaves, grass clippings and dirt such as moss in different working states, thereby expanding the types of cleaning that the robot can perform.
