Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road sweeping robot technology, specifically to a spray dust suppression water system for an unmanned road sweeping robot with flow detection. Background Technology
[0002] A robotic vacuum cleaner, also known as a lazy person's vacuum cleaner, is a smart home appliance that automatically vacuums floors. Because it can detect factors such as room size, furniture placement, and floor cleanliness, and use its built-in programs to plan a reasonable cleaning route, it possesses a certain degree of intelligence, hence the name "robot." Currently, the level of intelligence in robotic vacuum cleaners is not as advanced as one might imagine, but as a pioneer in the new concept of smart homes, it will inject momentum into the eventual widespread adoption of robots in every household.
[0003] However, current road sweeping robots on the market have several drawbacks. First, they cannot accurately detect the vehicle's water consumption in real time, making it difficult to adjust the spray volume according to the actual cleaning environment and dust conditions. This results in poor dust suppression and water waste. Second, the water system's structural design is not reasonable enough, the connection between components is unreliable, and leaks and blockages are common, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment. Water consumption detection is also inaccurate, with large display errors. Furthermore, they cannot compare the used water consumption with the remaining water consumption in real time. Therefore, we propose a new type of terminal device for engineering machinery rental. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a spray dust suppression water system with flow detection for an unmanned road sweeping robot, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. During use, this system uses multiple independent water channels to spray dust on the unmanned sweeping robot, achieving a good dust suppression effect throughout the operation.

[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 The unmanned sweeping robot with a spray dust suppression water system with flow detection includes an unmanned vehicle 10. A clean water tank 2 is installed on the top of the unmanned vehicle 10. A float water level gauge 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the clean water tank 2. A water pump 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the unmanned vehicle 10. The inlet of the water pump 5 is connected to one side of the clean water tank 2. The outlet of the water pump 5 is connected to a connecting pipe. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to a filter 4. A spray nozzle 8 is connected to one side of the filter 4.
[0030] Both the buoy level gauge 1 and the electronic flow meter 9 are electrically connected to the microprocessor of the external device to solve the problem of real-time monitoring of water consumption during vehicle operation. The electronic flow meter 9 accumulates the water consumption of the vehicle operation.
[0031] During use, there are two spray nozzles 8, and the two spray nozzles 8 are distributed on both sides of the driverless car 10.
[0032] Furthermore, the bottom of the clean water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the unmanned vehicle 10, and the float level gauge 1 is located on one side of the top of the clean water tank 2.
[0033] Furthermore, one side of the driverless vehicle 10 is connected to a sewage pipe 3, and one end of the sewage pipe 3 is connected to one side of the sewage collection equipment.
[0034] Furthermore, an electronic flow meter 9 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 5, and the electronic flow meter 9 is electrically connected to the controller of the external device.
[0035] Furthermore, a solenoid valve 6 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 5, and one side of the solenoid valve 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the clean water tank 2.
[0036] Furthermore, a manual adjustment valve 7 is connected to one side of the spray nozzle 8, and the inner wall of the manual adjustment valve 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the spray nozzle 8.
[0037] Integrating a high-precision electronic flow meter 9 into the spray dust suppression water system enables real-time and accurate monitoring of the spray flow rate, providing data support for automatically adjusting the spray volume according to the actual cleaning environment. This is a key difference from traditional road sweeping robot spray dust suppression systems, effectively improving dust suppression efficiency and water resource utilization.
[0038] Through the coordinated operation of the electronic flow meter 9, the solenoid valve 6, and the control system, a complete intelligent adjustment mechanism is formed. This mechanism can automatically adjust the spray volume according to different dust conditions without manual intervention, thereby improving the intelligence level and work efficiency of the sweeping robot.
[0039] The optimized structural design and selection of high-quality materials improve the stability and reliability of the water system, reduce the occurrence of malfunctions such as leakage and blockage, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance.
[0040] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0041] When the unmanned sweeping robot starts its sweeping operation, the opening and closing of the dust suppression water path can be manually set. When the spray dust suppression function is activated, the water pump 5 starts working, drawing water from the clean water tank 2. The water passes through the filter 4 and enters the water pump 5, then flows through the connecting pipe into the solenoid valve 6, electronic flow meter 9, and manual regulating valve 7 in sequence. Finally, it is sprayed out through the spray nozzle 8 to form a water mist, which suppresses the dust generated during sweeping and garbage disposal. The electronic flow meter 9 detects the water flow rate through the pipeline in real time and transmits the detection signal to the robot's control system. The control system analyzes and judges the flow rate based on the preset flow range and the actual detected flow signal. If the actual flow rate is lower than the lower limit of the preset range, it means that the spray volume is insufficient. The control system will issue a command to increase the opening of the solenoid valve 6 to increase the water flow rate. If the actual flow rate is higher than the upper limit of the preset range, the control system will issue a command to decrease the opening of the solenoid valve 6 to reduce the water flow rate, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the spray flow rate, ensuring the dust suppression effect while avoiding water waste.
[0042] When equipped with both the garbage dumping spray function and the garbage bin spray function, the vehicle will first vibrate the filter inside the machine before each garbage dumping. When the dust vibration motor starts, it will also trigger the dust suppression spray function inside the garbage bin. During the entire process of filter dust vibration, the dust inside the garbage bin will be reduced. During the automatic garbage dumping process, the garbage dumping spray will automatically turn on when the garbage bin is tilted to dump, so as to reduce the dust in the entire process of dumping garbage.
[0043] In summary, this unmanned sweeping robot's spray dust suppression water system with flow detection solves the problem that current unmanned sweeping vehicles cannot effectively monitor the water level in the tank in real time through a series of innovative designs. It can also accumulate the water used, accurately compare the water used with the remaining water in the tank, and precisely display the remaining water level. In addition, this function ensures that the vehicle's automatic water filling function is more complete and more practical.
[0044] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
