[0022] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figures 1 to 7 This is a preferred embodiment of the edge cleaning structure provided by this utility model. For example... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the edge cleaning structure includes a mop assembly 10, which includes a mop bracket 11, a support member 111, and a first mop pivot 112 and a second mop pivot 113 mounted on opposite sides of the support member; and a first cleaning mop 12, which is mounted on the mop bracket 11 and used to clean a first working surface 200, which is a vertical plane. The first cleaning mop 12 is completely or partially located on the outside of the cleaning robot body 100, so that when the cleaning robot moves, the first cleaning mop 12 adheres to the first working surface on the wall edge or side. As the cleaning robot moves, the first cleaning mop 12 performs three-dimensional cleaning of the first working surface, providing convenience for the user. The first working surface 200 can be a baseboard set on the wall edge or side, or it can be the wall surface directly on the wall edge or side.

[0024] When the first cleaning mop 12 is assembled on the mop holder 11, the first cleaning mop 12 is sleeved on the first mop pivot 112 and the second mop pivot 113 of the mop holder 11, forming an arc-shaped surface and a straight surface. The arc-shaped surface and / or the straight surface of the first cleaning mop 12 are used to clean the first working surface 200. Figure 2 As shown, the flat surface of the first cleaning mop 12 cleans the first working surface 200; as Figure 3As shown, the arc-shaped surface of the first cleaning mop 12 cleans the first working surface 200. The first cleaning mop 12 is mounted in a track-like shape on the first mop pivot 112 and the second mop pivot 113. The entire first cleaning mop 12 can be formed by fastening with Velcro or it can be a single circular piece.

[0025] The first mop shaft 112 and the second mop shaft 113 can rotate around their own rotation axes. Thus, the first cleaning mop 12 operates without power, relying on friction to automatically rotate and clean the first working surface 200. When the first mop shaft 112 or the second mop shaft 113 is driven to rotate by a first power source, it causes the first cleaning mop 12 to rotate around the mop support 11. In this way, the first cleaning mop 12 operates under the action of the first power source, and through the first mop shaft 112 or the second mop shaft 113, it rotates to clean the first working surface 200. The first power source can be a motor that directly drives the first mop shaft 112 or the second mop shaft 113 to rotate, or a motor that drives the first mop shaft 112 or the second mop shaft 113 to rotate via a belt or gear.

[0026] The mop assembly 10 also includes: a flat mop 13, which is fixed relative to the mop bracket 11 and perpendicular to the first mop shaft 112 on one side; and a second cleaning mop 14 mounted on the flat mop 13, which is used to clean the second working surface 300, which is a horizontal plane; thus, the first cleaning mop 12 cleans the first working surface 200, while the second cleaning mop 14 installed below the mop bracket 11 cleans the second working surface 300, improving cleaning efficiency and providing convenience for the user.

[0027] In some examples, the shape of the flat mop 13 and / or the second cleaning mop 14, projected vertically, overlaps with the projection of the mop assembly 10, thus not affecting the cleaning of the first working surface 200 by the first cleaning mop 12. As another embodiment, the shape of the flat mop 13 and / or the second cleaning mop 14, projected vertically, is circular, facilitating the cleaning of the second working surface 300. The shape of the second cleaning mop 14 can be an elliptical shape matching the first cleaning mop 12, or it can be circular and located at the bottom of the mop holder 11, without affecting the cleaning operation of the first cleaning mop 12. An elliptical shape refers to a shape where the farthest ends are arc-shaped and the middle is a straight line, resembling an ellipse; in this embodiment, it is referred to as an elliptical shape.

[0028] The flat mop 13 has a third mop shaft 131 on a side different from the second cleaning mop 12; the support member 111 on the mop bracket 11 has a shaft hole, the third mop shaft on the flat mop 13 is inserted into the shaft hole of the support member 111, and the flat mop 13 can rotate relative to the mop bracket 11, thereby driving the second cleaning mop 12 on the flat mop 13 to rotate, facilitating the cleaning of the second working surface 300. Figure 5 As shown, the flat mop 13 is mounted below the support 111 on the mop bracket 11 using a third mop shaft 131, and the second cleaning mop 12 is circular in shape. In another example, the flat mop is fixed relative to the mop bracket, and the flat mop can rotate with the rotation of the mop bracket.

[0029] In some examples, the mop assembly 10 also includes a motor for driving the flat mop member 13 to rotate relative to the mop support 11. Thus, as the cleaning robot moves, the motor drives the flat mop member 13 to rotate, causing the second cleaning mop 14 on the flat mop member 13 to rotate. In another embodiment, the mop assembly also includes a motor for rotating the first mop shaft 112 and / or the second mop shaft 113 relative to the mop support 11, and for rotating the flat mop member 13 relative to the mop support 11. This allows the motor to simultaneously drive the first cleaning mop 12 and the second cleaning mop 14 to rotate, resulting in high cleaning efficiency.

[0030] The materials of the first cleaning mop 12 and the second cleaning mop 14 can be selected from microfiber, cotton, sponge, silicone, non-woven fabric or nanomaterials, etc. The selection of materials for the first cleaning mop 12 and the second cleaning mop 14 can take into account water absorption, durability, cleaning efficiency and applicable scenarios. For example, the edge cleaning mop made of microfiber has strong water absorption and will not damage the floor; the edge cleaning mop made of silicone or sponge is wear-resistant and easy to clean.

[0031] The edge cleaning structure also includes an elastic arm 20, which controls the first cleaning mop 12 on the mop holder 11 to extend fully or partially out of the cleaning robot body 100. The elastic arm 20 is located inside the cleaning robot body 100 or at the bottom of the cleaning robot body 100. The elastic arm 20 can provide greater pressure to the first cleaning mop 12, improving the cleaning efficiency. One end of the elastic arm 20 is connected to the mop holder 11, and the other end of the elastic arm 20 is connected to a power drive mechanism 30. When the cleaning robot detects a wall edge or edge, the power drive mechanism 30 acts on the elastic arm 20, controlling the first cleaning mop 12 on the mop holder 11 to extend fully or partially out of the cleaning robot body 100, with the first cleaning mop 12 adhering to the first working surface 200 on the wall edge or edge.

[0032] In some examples, the power drive mechanism 30 may be a cylinder, and the elastic arm 20 may be a cylinder extension rod connected to the cylinder. The cylinder pushes the cylinder extension rod to extend, and the cylinder extension rod pushes the mop bracket 11 to extend, so that the first cleaning mop 12 on the mop bracket 11 adheres to the first working surface 200 on the wall or edge.

[0033] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, the power drive mechanism 30 is a drive motor for driving the elastic arm 20 to rotate. When the cleaning robot detects the wall edge or side edge, the drive motor drives the elastic arm 20 to rotate. The first cleaning mop 12 on the mop bracket 11 extends out of the body 100 of the cleaning robot in whole or in part. The arc-shaped surface and / or flat surface of the first cleaning mop 12 are in contact with the first working surface 200 on the wall edge or side edge. As the cleaning robot moves, it performs three-dimensional cleaning of the wall edge or side edge. When the cleaning is completed, the elastic arm 20 is retracted, thus exiting the scene of cleaning along the wall edge. When the power drive mechanism is a drive motor for driving the elastic arm 20 to rotate, a gear transmission group is provided between the drive motor and the first mop shaft 112 or / and the second mop shaft 113 on the mop bracket 11. The gear transmission group is located inside the elastic arm 20. The rotation of the drive motor is transmitted to the first mop shaft 112 or / and the second mop shaft 113 on the mop bracket 11, thereby driving the first mop shaft 112 or / and the second mop shaft 113 to rotate, thereby driving the first cleaning mop 12 to rotate.

[0034] The flexible arm 20 is also connected to a reset structure 40 for resetting the flexible arm 20. When it is necessary to exit the cleaning along the wall edge scenario, the reset structure 40 drives the flexible arm 20 to retract, thereby detaching the first cleaning mop 12 from the first working surface 200. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the reset structure 40 is a reset spring. One end of the reset spring is connected to the elastic arm 20, and the other end of the reset spring is connected to the body 100 of the cleaning robot. When the drive motor drives the elastic arm 20 to rotate, it pulls the reset spring. When it is necessary to retract the elastic arm 20, the elastic arm 20 automatically retracts under the action of the reset spring.

[0035] In some examples, the mop bracket 11 is provided with a first mop pivot 112 and a second mop pivot 113. The first cleaning mop 12 is a tracked mop, which is fitted onto the first mop pivot 112 and the second mop pivot 113. The bottom of the mop bracket 11 is equipped with a second cleaning mop 14 via a flat mop member 13. The mop bracket 11 is connected to an elastic arm 20, which is connected to a drive motor. When the cleaning robot detects a wall edge or side, the drive motor actively releases the elastic arm 20, causing the elastic arm 20 to rotate. The first cleaning mop 12 on the mop bracket 11 extends fully or partially beyond the body 100, with the curved surface and / or flat surface of the first cleaning mop 12 extending outwards. The first working surface 200 is attached to the wall edge or side. The mop assembly 10 is equipped with a motor that can drive the first mop shaft 112 and the flat mop 13 to rotate. In this way, the motor drives the first cleaning mop 12 and the second cleaning mop 14 to rotate simultaneously. As the cleaning robot moves, the first cleaning mop 12 cleans the first working surface 200 on the wall edge or side, and the second cleaning mop 14 cleans the second working surface 300. When cleaning is completed, the elastic arm 20 automatically retracts under the action of the return spring 40, thereby driving the first cleaning mop 12 on the mop bracket 11 to retract. The first cleaning mop 12 detaches from the first working surface 200 and exits the cleaning scene along the wall edge.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also provides a cleaning robot, which includes a body 100 and the edge cleaning structure described above. The edge cleaning structure is detachably installed on the side of the body 100. The first cleaning mop 12 inside the edge cleaning structure cleans the first working surface 200 on the wall edge or edge, bringing convenience to the user.
