[0042] One embodiment of this application provides a surface trash can 30 and a cleaning robot 1. The cleaning robot 1 can float on the water surface to perform water surface cleaning. When the cleaning robot 1 is used for water surface cleaning, it can collect the cleaned-up trash into the surface trash can 30.

[0043] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 A perspective view of a cleaning robot provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the cleaning robot shown; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is a three-dimensional representation of the cleaning robot from another perspective. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows an exploded view of the cleaning robot. The placement posture of the cleaning robot 1 when used for water surface cleaning is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, this posture is called the cleaning robot 1 inverted (or reversed). The cleaning robot 1 includes a body 10, a buoyancy device 80, and a surface trash can 30. The buoyancy device 80 is connected to the body 10 to float the body 10 on the water surface. The surface trash can 30 is detachably connected to the body 10.

[0044] The body 10 is the main body of the cleaning robot 1 that performs the garbage cleaning function. When the cleaning robot 1 cleans the water surface, the body 10 can be used to clean garbage from the surface of pools, rivers, lakes, etc. The cleaning robot 1 provided in this application embodiment may or may not be able to perform underwater cleaning. This application embodiment does not limit whether the cleaning robot 1 can perform underwater cleaning. When the cleaning robot 1 can perform underwater cleaning, the body 10 can be used to clean garbage from the bottom of pools, rivers, lakes, etc.

[0045] When the cleaning robot 1 is used for water surface cleaning, the robot body 10 can collect the cleaned-up garbage into the water surface garbage bin 30.

[0046] The body 10, buoyancy device 80, and water surface trash can 30 of the cleaning robot 1 will be described in detail later.

[0047] The surface trash can 30 of the cleaning robot 1 provided in this embodiment will now be described in detail. Please refer to the figures. Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 9 , Figure 5 for Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the water surface trash can shown in the image; Figure 6 for Figure 5 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the water surface trash can shown from another perspective; Figure 7 for Figure 5 A top view of the water surface trash can shown; Figure 8 for Figure 7 An exploded view of the water surface trash can shown; Figure 9 for Figure 8 The diagram shows a partial structural representation of the surface trash can 30. The surface trash can 30 includes a can body 310, a first fixing member 320, a second fixing member 330, a transmission assembly 340, and an operating member 350. The first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are retractably mounted on both sides of the can body 310. The transmission assembly 340 is located within the can body 310 and between the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330. The transmission assembly 340 includes a first transmission member 341, a gear 342, and a second transmission member 343. One end of each of the first transmission member 341 and the second transmission member 343 meshes with the gear 342, and the other end of each is connected to the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330, respectively. The operating element 350 is disposed on the first transmission element 341 and / or the second transmission element 343 and exposed outside the basket 310. The operating element 350 can drive the transmission assembly 340 to drive the first fixing element 320 and the second fixing element 330 to extend and retract.

[0048] The basket 310 is the main part that realizes the main function of the water surface garbage basket 30. The basket 310 can hold the garbage cleaned up by the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0049] The first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are retractably disposed on both sides of the basket body 310. The first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are respectively used to cooperate with the fixing groove (also called the lock hole) of the body 10 to fix the water surface trash basket 30 to the body 10; or to unlock the water surface trash basket 30 from the body 10. In other words, the water surface trash basket 30 has a locked state locked to the body 10 and an unlocked state unlocked from the body 10. The body 10 has a first fixing groove 10a and a second fixing groove 10b. The first fixing groove 10a is used to receive the first fixing member 320, and the second fixing groove 10b is used to receive the second fixing member 330. The first fixing member 320 can extend into the first fixing groove 10a or extend out of the first fixing groove 10a; correspondingly, the second fixing member 330 can extend into the second fixing groove 10b or extend out of the second fixing groove 10b. When the water surface trash can 30 is in the locked state, locked to the body 10, the first fixing member 320 extends into the first fixing groove 10a, and the second fixing member 330 extends into the second fixing groove 10b. When the water surface trash can 30 is in the unlocked state, unlocked from the body 10, the first fixing member 320 extends out of the first fixing groove 10a, and the second fixing member 330 extends out of the second fixing groove 10b.

[0050] One end of the first transmission member 341 and one end of the second transmission member 343 are respectively engaged with the gear 342. In other words, one end of the first transmission member 341 is engaged with the gear 342 to move relative to the gear 342. One end of the second transmission member 343 is engaged with the gear 342 to move relative to the gear 342.

[0051] The other end of the first transmission member 341 and the second transmission member 343 are respectively connected to the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330. In other words, the other end of the first transmission member 341 is connected to the first fixing member 320, and the other end of the second transmission member 343 is connected to the second fixing member 330.

[0052] Therefore, one end of the first transmission member 341 meshes with the gear 342, and the other end of the first transmission member 341 is fixed to the first fixing member 320. Thus, when the first transmission member 341 moves relative to the gear 342, it can cause the first fixing member 320 to extend or retract. When the first fixing member 320 engages with the first fixing groove 10a of the machine body, when the first transmission member 341 moves relative to the gear 342, it can cause the first fixing member 320 to penetrate deeper into the first fixing groove 10a, and it can also cause the first fixing member 320 to extend out of the first fixing groove 10a.

[0053] Accordingly, one end of the second transmission member 343 meshes with the gear 342, and the other end of the second transmission member 343 is fixed to the second fixing member 330. Therefore, when the second transmission member 343 moves relative to the gear 342, it can drive the second fixing member 330 to extend or retract. When the second fixing member 330 engages with the second fixing groove 10b of the machine body, when the second transmission member 343 moves relative to the gear 342, it can drive the second fixing member 330 to penetrate deeper into the second fixing groove 10b, and it can also drive the second fixing member 330 to extend out of the second fixing groove 10b.

[0054] The operating element 350 is disposed on the first transmission element 341 and / or the second transmission element 343 and is exposed outside the basket 310. Specifically, in the schematic diagram of this embodiment, the operating element 350 includes a first operating element 351 and a second operating element 352. The first operating element 351 is disposed on the first transmission element 341 and is exposed outside the basket 310; correspondingly, the second operating element 352 is disposed on the second transmission element 343 and is exposed outside the basket 310.

[0055] The operating element 350 can drive the transmission assembly 340 to extend and retract the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330. Specifically, when the operating element 350 causes the first fixing member 320 to retract in a direction away from the first fixing groove 10a, and causes the second fixing member 330 to move in a direction away from the second fixing groove 10b, the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are unlocked from the body 10, so that the water surface trash can 30 enters a locked state. When the operating element 350 causes the first fixing member 320 to extend in a direction towards the first fixing groove 10a, and causes the second fixing member 330 to move in a direction towards the second fixing groove 10b, the first fixing member 320 and the body 10 move, and the second fixing member 330 and the body 10 lock, so that the water surface trash can 30 enters an unlocked state.

[0056] In summary, the surface trash can 30 includes a can body 310, a first fixing member 320, a second fixing member 330, a transmission assembly 340, and an operating member 350. The operating member 350 can drive the transmission assembly 340 to extend and retract the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330, thereby fixing the surface trash can 30 to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1 via the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330, and also allowing the surface trash can 30 to be detached from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. Therefore, it is convenient to install a clean surface trash can 30 onto the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, and convenient to remove the surface trash can 30 containing trash from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, empty the trash contained in the can body 310, and facilitate the surface trash can 30 to collect trash again. Thus, the surface trash can 30 provided in this embodiment is easy to disassemble and wash, and convenient to use.

[0057] Please see Figure 7 The basket 310 is provided with a mounting groove 310a, and the operating member 350 is located in the mounting groove 310a and can slide in the mounting groove 310a.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are arranged along a preset direction D. The operating member 350 is located within the mounting groove 310a and can slide within the mounting groove 310a. Specifically, the operating member 350 can slide within the mounting groove 310a along the preset direction D and can move within the mounting groove 310a in the opposite direction to the preset direction D.

[0059] In this embodiment, the operating member 350 includes a first operating member 351 and a second operating member 352. Correspondingly, the mounting groove 310a of the housing 310 includes a first mounting groove 310b and a second mounting groove 310c. The first operating member 351 is located within the first mounting groove 310b and can slide within it. Specifically, the first operating member 351 is located within the first mounting groove 310b and can slide within it along the preset direction D, and can also move within it in the opposite direction to the preset direction D. Correspondingly, the second operating member 352 is located within the second mounting groove 310c and can slide within it. Specifically, the second operating member 352 is located within the second mounting groove 310c and can slide within it along the preset direction D, and can also move within it in the opposite direction to the preset direction D.

[0060] When the first operating member 351 moves within the first mounting groove 310b along the preset direction D, the first operating member 351 drives the first transmission member 341 to move along the preset direction D, thereby causing the first fixing member 320 to extend out of the first fixing groove 10a. Correspondingly, when the second operating member 352 moves within the second mounting groove 310c in the opposite direction of the preset direction D, the second operating member 352 drives the second transmission member 343 to move in the opposite direction of the preset direction D, thereby causing the second fixing member 330 to extend out of the second fixing groove 10b. Thus, the first operating member 351 and the second operating member 352 cooperate to put the water surface garbage bin 30 in an unlocked state, which is unlocked from the body 10.

[0061] When the first operating member 351 moves in the opposite direction of the preset direction D within the first mounting groove 310b, the first operating member 351 drives the first transmission member 341 to move in the opposite direction of the preset direction D, thereby causing the first fixing member 320 to extend into the first fixing groove 10a. Correspondingly, when the second operating member 352 moves in the preset direction D within the second mounting groove 310c, the second operating member 352 drives the second transmission member 343 to move in the preset direction D, thereby causing the second fixing member 330 to extend into the second fixing groove 10b. Thus, the first operating member 351 and the second operating member 352 cooperate to lock the water surface garbage bin 30 in a locked state with the body 10.

[0062] In this embodiment, the basket 310 is provided with an installation groove 310a, and the operating member 350 is located in the installation groove 310a and can slide in the installation groove 310a, which can facilitate the extension and retraction of the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0063] The specific structures of the first transmission component 341 and the second transmission component 343 will be described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 10 for Figure 9 A three-dimensional exploded view of the structure in the diagram; Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first transmission member provided in one embodiment; Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second transmission member according to one embodiment. The first transmission member 341 includes a first connecting section 3411 and a first rack section 3412. The second transmission member 343 includes a second connecting section 3431 and a second rack section 3432. The first rack section 3412 and the second rack section 3432 respectively mesh with opposite sides of the gear 342, and the first connecting section 3411 and the second connecting section 3431 are respectively connected to the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330.

[0064] The first transmission member 341 includes a first connecting section 3411 and a first rack section 3412. The first connecting section 3411 is connected to the first fixing member 320. The first rack section 3412 is connected to the first connecting section 3411 and meshes with the gear 342. When the first rack section 3412 moves relative to the gear 342, the first connecting section 3411 can drive the first fixing member 320 to move. When the first rack section 3412 moves in a different direction relative to the gear 342, the first connecting section 3411 drives the first fixing member 320 to move in a different direction, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the first fixing member 320.

[0065] Accordingly, the second transmission member 343 includes a second connecting section 3431 and a second rack section 3432. The second connecting section 3431 is connected to the second fixing member 330. The second rack section 3432 is connected to the second connecting section 3431 and meshes with the gear 342. When the second rack section 3432 moves relative to the gear 342, the second connecting section 3431 can drive the second fixing member 330 to move. When the direction of movement of the second rack section 3432 relative to the gear 342 is different, the second connecting section 3431 drives the second fixing member 330 to move in a different direction, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the second fixing member 330.

[0066] Furthermore, the first rack segment 3412 and the second rack segment 3432 respectively mesh with opposite sides of the gear 342, as described in detail below. The first rack segment 3412 is disposed on one side of the gear 342 and has meshing teeth facing the gear 342, which mesh with the gear 342. The second rack segment 3432 is disposed on the other side of the gear 342 and is disposed opposite to the first rack segment 3412. The second rack segment 3432 has meshing teeth facing the gear 342, which mesh with the gear 342.

[0067] The surface garbage bin 30 provided in this embodiment includes a first transmission component 341 comprising a first connecting section 3411 and a first rack section 3412, and a second transmission component 343 comprising a second connecting section 3431 and a second rack section 3432. The first rack section 3412 and the second rack section 3432 respectively mesh with opposite sides of the gear 342. The first connecting section 3411 and the second connecting section 3431 are respectively connected to the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330. Therefore, the first transmission component 341 and the second transmission component 343 share the same gear 342, resulting in a smaller size and more compact structure of the transmission assembly 340 in the arrangement direction of the first transmission component 341 and the second transmission component 343. Furthermore, the fact that the first transmission member 341 and the second transmission member 343 share the same gear 342 ensures the synchronicity of the movement of the first transmission member 341 relative to the gear 342, which drives the first fixing member 320, and the synchronicity of the movement of the second transmission member 343 relative to the gear 342, which drives the second fixing member 330. Additionally, the shared gear 342 also ensures that the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 move synchronously towards the gear 342, or synchronously in a direction away from the gear 342. This ensures that both sides of the body 310 of the water surface trash bin 30 can be locked to the body 10 relatively synchronously, and that both sides of the body 310 of the water surface trash bin 30 can be unlocked from the body 10 relatively synchronously.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first fastener provided in one embodiment. The first fastener 320 includes a first locking tongue 321, a first connecting portion 322, and a first stop portion 323 connected in sequence. The first connecting portion 322 has a first receiving cavity 320a. The first receiving cavity 320a is provided with a first protrusion 3211 and a first return spring 360. The first protrusion 3211 is connected to the housing 310, and the two ends of the first return spring 360 respectively abut against the first connecting portion 322 and the first protrusion 3211. The first stop portion 323 is located on the side of the first protrusion 3211 away from the first locking tongue 321.

[0069] The first locking tongue 321 is used to penetrate into the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1 to fix the first fixing member 320 to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, thereby fixing one side of the water surface trash can 30 to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. The first connecting part 322 is used to connect the first locking tongue 321 and the first stop part 323.

[0070] The first connecting portion 322 has a first receiving cavity 320a, which houses the first return spring 360. The first stop portion 323 is located on the side of the first protrusion 3211 away from the first locking tongue portion 321. The first stop portion 323 can prevent the first fixing member 320 from moving toward the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the deep cleaning robot 1, and can also prevent the first fixing member 320 from moving too far toward the direction away from the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0071] The two ends of the first return spring 360 abut against the first connecting portion 322 and the first protrusion 3211, respectively, thereby fixing the first return spring 360 and making it difficult to fall off. In one embodiment, when the water surface trash can 30 is locked to the body 10, the first return spring 360 is in a compressed state, so that the first locking tongue 321 of the first fixing member 320 is inserted into the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. Since the first return spring 360 is in a compressed state, the elasticity of the first return spring 360 makes it difficult for the first locking tongue 321 of the first fixing member 320 to fall off from the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. When it is necessary to remove the water surface trash can 30, the first return spring 360 is squeezed, so that the first return spring 360 is further compressed, and the first locking tongue 321 extends out of the first fixing groove 10a of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, thereby unlocking the first locking tongue 321 from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0072] The surface trash can 30 of this application embodiment includes a first fixing member 320 comprising a first locking tongue 321, a first connecting part 322, and a first stop 323 connected in sequence. The first connecting part 322 has a first receiving cavity 320a. The first receiving cavity 320a is provided with a first protrusion 3211 and a first return spring 360. The first protrusion 3211 is connected to the basket body 310, and the two ends of the first return spring 360 respectively abut against the first connecting part 322 and the first protrusion 3211. The first stop 323 is located on the side of the first protrusion 3211 away from the first locking tongue 321, facilitating locking and unlocking with the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0073] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first fastener provided in one embodiment. The second fastener 330 includes a second latch portion 331, a second connecting portion 332, and a second stop portion 333 connected in sequence. The second connecting portion 332 has a second receiving cavity 330a. A second protrusion 3321 and a second return spring 370 are provided in the second receiving cavity 330a. The second protrusion 3321 is connected to the housing 310, and the two ends of the second return spring 370 respectively abut against the second connecting portion 332 and the second protrusion 3321. The second stop portion 333 is located on the side of the second protrusion 3321 away from the second latch portion 331.

[0074] The two ends of the second return spring 370 abut against the second connecting portion 332 and the second protrusion 3321 respectively, thereby fixing the second return spring 370 and making it difficult to fall off. In one embodiment, when the water surface trash can 30 is locked to the body 10, the second return spring 370 is in a compressed state, so that the second locking tongue 331 of the second fixing member 330 is inserted into the second fixing groove 10b of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. Since the second return spring 370 is in a compressed state, the elasticity of the second return spring 370 makes it difficult for the second locking tongue 331 of the second fixing member 330 to fall off from the second fixing groove 10b of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. When it is necessary to remove the water surface trash can 30, the second return spring 370 is squeezed, so that the second return spring 370 is further compressed, and the second locking tongue 331 extends out of the second fixing groove 10b of the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, thereby unlocking the second locking tongue 331 from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0075] The surface trash can 30 of this application embodiment includes a second fixing member 330 comprising a second locking tongue 331, a second connecting part 332, and a second stop part 333 connected in sequence. The second connecting part 332 has a second receiving cavity 330a. The second receiving cavity 330a is provided with a second protrusion 3321 and a second return spring 370. The second protrusion 3321 is connected to the basket body 310, and the two ends of the second return spring 370 respectively abut against the second connecting part 332 and the second protrusion 3321. The second stop part 333 is located on the side of the second protrusion 3321 away from the second locking tongue 331, facilitating locking and unlocking with the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0076] Furthermore, please refer again. Figure 5 and Figure 8The basket body 310 includes a handle 311. The handle 311 has a third receiving cavity 311a inside, and the transmission assembly 340 is disposed in the third receiving cavity 311a. The first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are at least partially located in the third receiving cavity 311a.

[0077] In this embodiment, the handle 311 of the basket 310 can be held by a user. When the user fixes the water surface trash basket 30 to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, the user can hold the handle 311 to fix the water surface trash basket 30 to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1; when the user removes the water surface trash basket 30 from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, the user can hold the handle to remove the trash basket from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0078] The handle 311 has a third accommodating cavity 311a inside, and the transmission component 340 is disposed within the third accommodating cavity 311a. Therefore, the handle 311 not only serves as a grip for the user but also houses the transmission component, thus achieving functional reuse of the handle 311 and making the structure of the basket 310 more compact. Furthermore, the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330 are at least partially located within the third accommodating cavity 311a. Therefore, the third accommodating cavity 311a of the handle 311 can protect the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330.

[0079] Furthermore, please refer again. Figure 5 and Figure 8 The basket 310 has an opening 310d on one side where the handle 311 is located, and the opening 310d is located on one or both sides of the handle 311.

[0080] The basket 310 has an opening 310d on one side where the handle 311 is located, allowing the user to grip the handle 311 through the opening 310d. When the opening 310d is located on one side of the handle 311, the basket 310 has one opening 310d on the side where the handle 311 is located. The user's hand can grip the handle 311 through the one opening 310d. When the opening 310d is located on both sides of the handle 311, the basket 310 has two openings 310d on the side where the handle 311 is located. The user's hand can grip the handle 311 through either of the two openings 310d. In the schematic diagram of the embodiment of this application, the example of the opening 310d being located on both sides of the handle 311 is shown. It should be understood that this should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiment of this application.

[0081] In one embodiment, the opening 310d also allows the user to observe the amount of garbage inside the basket 310 through the opening 310d, so that the garbage in the water surface garbage basket 30 can be emptied in a timely manner.

[0082] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The basket 310 includes an upper shell 312 and a lower shell 313. The upper shell 312 and the lower shell 313 enclose a fourth receiving cavity 310e for collecting garbage. The lower shell 313 has a blocking part 3131 inclined towards the upper shell 312 on the side near the garbage inlet of the basket 310.

[0083] In this embodiment, the frame includes an upper shell 312 and a lower shell 313, which together form a fourth receiving cavity 310e for collecting garbage. The fourth receiving cavity 310e has a garbage inlet. When the cleaning robot 1 cleans up surface garbage, the collected garbage enters the fourth receiving cavity 310e of the surface garbage bin 30 through the garbage inlet. The lower shell 313 has a blocking portion 3131 inclined towards the upper shell 312 on the side near the garbage inlet, thus preventing garbage collected in the fourth receiving cavity 310e of the surface garbage bin 30 from easily falling into the water through the garbage inlet.

[0084] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The water surface trash can 30 also includes a first shielding part 380 and a second shielding part 390. The first shielding part 380 and the second shielding part 390 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the can body 310 to shield the water inlet of the buoyancy device 80 of the cleaning robot 1.

[0085] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 15 for Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of a buoyancy component; Figure 16 for Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the buoyancy component from another perspective; Figure 17 for Figure 16A cross-sectional view of the buoyancy components in the diagram. The buoyancy device 80 includes two buoyancy components 810 spaced apart. The buoyancy components 810 are installed on opposite sides of the body 10. In the illustrated view of the embodiment, the two buoyancy components 810 of the buoyancy device 80 are located on the left and right sides of the body 10. Each buoyancy component 810 has a water inlet 810a, a float cavity 810b, and an air outlet 810c. The float cavity 810b communicates with the water inlet 810a, and the air outlet 810c communicates with the float cavity 810b. When the cleaning robot 1 is used for water surface cleaning, the water inlet 810a of one of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by a first blocking part 380, and the water inlet 810a of the other of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by a second blocking part 390, and the cleaning robot 1 floats on the water surface.

[0086] When the cleaning robot 1 provided in this embodiment cleans the water surface, the water inlet 810a of one of the two buoyancy members 810 is blocked by the first blocking part 380, and the water inlet 810a of the other of the two buoyancy members 810 is blocked by the second blocking part 390, so that water cannot enter the floating cavity 810b, and the buoyancy members 810 can float the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1 on the water surface.

[0087] As can be seen, the water inlet 810a of one of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by the first blocking part 380, and the water inlet 810a of the other of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by the second blocking part 390. The cleaning robot 1 used in the water surface trash can 30 does not need to be covered by additional blocking parts, thus making the cleaning robot 1 have fewer parts and is more concise.

[0088] In one embodiment, the cleaning robot 1 is capable of both surface cleaning and underwater cleaning. In other words, the cleaning robot 1 has two cleaning modes: a surface cleaning mode and an underwater cleaning mode.

[0089] When the cleaning robot 1 performs surface cleaning, it is placed upside down on the water surface; correspondingly, when the cleaning robot 1 performs underwater cleaning, it is placed upright on the water surface.

[0090] When the cleaning robot 1 is used for water surface cleaning, a surface trash can 30 is used. When the cleaning robot 1 is used for water surface cleaning, the water inlet 810a of one of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by a first blocking part 380, and the water inlet 810a of the other of the two buoyancy components 810 is blocked by a second blocking part 390. The buoyancy device 80 can be used to float the robot body 10 on the water surface.

[0091] Different trash cans are used when the cleaning robot 1 performs surface cleaning and underwater cleaning. When the cleaning robot 1 performs underwater cleaning, it uses an underwater trash can. When the cleaning robot 1 is used for underwater cleaning, the underwater trash can is installed on the body 10, and the underwater trash can does not cover the water inlet 810a. Water can enter the buoyancy device 80 so that the body 10 sinks to the bottom.

[0092] In summary, in this embodiment, the buoyancy devices 80 are disposed on both opposite sides of the body 10 to float the body 10 on the water surface, enabling the cleaning robot 1 to clean up surface debris. The buoyancy devices 80 are disposed on both opposite sides of the body 10, allowing the cleaning robot 1 to float relatively stably on the water surface. In this embodiment, the surface debris bin 30 includes a first shielding part 380 and a second shielding part 390. The first shielding part 380 is disposed on one side of the bin body 310 and is used to cover the water inlet of the buoyancy device 80 on one side of the cleaning robot 1. The second shielding part 390 is disposed on the other side of the bin body 310, and the second shielding part 390 is opposite to the first shielding part 380. The second shielding part 390 is used to cover the water inlet of the buoyancy device 80 on the other side of the cleaning robot 1. In this embodiment, the surface debris bin 30 also includes the first shielding part 380 and the second shielding part 390. The first shielding part 380 and the second shielding part 390 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the basket body 310 to shield the water inlet of the buoyancy device 80 of the cleaning robot 1. Therefore, the cleaning robot 1 used in the water surface trash can 30 does not need to be provided with additional structural components to shield the water inlet of the buoyancy device 80, thereby making the structure of the cleaning robot 1 used in the water surface trash can 30 more compact.

[0093] Further, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning robot 1 provided in this application includes a body 10 and a surface trash can 30. The surface trash can 30 is described in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, the body 10 is provided with a first fixing groove 10a and a second fixing groove 10b. When the surface trash can 30 is installed on the body 10, the first fixing member 320 extends into the first fixing groove 10a, and the second fixing member 330 extends into the second fixing groove 10b.

[0094] In summary, the cleaning robot 1 provided in this application includes a body 10 and a water surface trash bin 30. The body 10 is provided with a first fixing groove 10a and a second fixing groove 10b. The water surface trash bin 30 includes a bin body 310, a first fixing member 320, a second fixing member 330, a transmission assembly 340, and an operating member 350. The operating member 350 can drive the transmission assembly 340 to extend and retract the first fixing member 320 and the second fixing member 330, thereby allowing the water surface trash bin 30 to penetrate into the first fixing groove 10a through the first fixing member 320 and into the second fixing groove 10b through the second fixing member 330, so as to be fixed to the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. The water surface trash bin 30 can also be detached from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1. Therefore, it is convenient to install the clean water surface trash bin 30 onto the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, and it is also convenient to remove the water surface trash bin 30 containing trash from the body 10 of the cleaning robot 1, empty the trash contained in the bin 310, and facilitate the water surface trash bin 30 to collect trash again.

[0095] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 In addition, the cleaning robot 1 also includes two tracked wheels 50, a drive propeller 60, and a cleaning brush 70. One of the two tracked wheels 50 is located on one side of the body 10; the other is located on the other side of the body 10. In the schematic diagram of this embodiment, the two tracked wheels 50 are arranged on the left and right sides of the body 10. The cleaning brush 70 and the drive propeller 60 are arranged on opposite sides of the body 10. In this embodiment, the cleaning brush 70 and the drive propeller 60 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the body 10. The cleaning brush 70 is also called a roller brush; the cleaning brush 70 can roll to carry garbage into the water surface garbage bin 30. The drive propeller 60 provides the driving force for the cleaning robot 1 to move on the water surface. The drive propeller 60 includes multiple blades arranged circumferentially.
