[0022] In related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners are a type of smart home appliance that can automatically clean floors in a room using a certain level of artificial intelligence. They generally use a combination of brushing and vacuuming to collect debris into their dustbin, thus completing the cleaning process. However, robotic vacuum cleaners with roller brushes require quality testing before leaving the factory. Testing the different performance characteristics of these robots often necessitates the use of multiple testing devices, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 9This utility model discloses a testing device for a sweeping robot, comprising a frame 100, a radar detection mechanism, a bumper detection mechanism, a left wheel stall detection mechanism, a right wheel stall detection mechanism, and a charging detection mechanism. The frame 100 is provided with a test platform 110 for placing the sweeping robot 800. The radar detection mechanism includes a radar detection bracket 210, a first trigger 220, and a first drive 230. The radar detection bracket 210 is disposed on the frame 100, and the first trigger 220 is slidably disposed on the radar detection bracket 210. The component 230 is used to drive the first trigger component 220 to slide, thereby triggering the radar of the sweeping robot 800. The bumper detection mechanism includes a second trigger component 310 and a second drive component 320. The second drive component 320 is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to drive the second trigger component 310 to slide, thereby triggering the bumper detection sensor of the sweeping robot 800. The left wheel stall detection mechanism includes a left wheel stall component 410 and a third drive component 420 disposed on the frame 100. The third drive component 420 is used to drive the left wheel stall component 410 to rise and fall. The right wheel stall detection mechanism includes a right wheel stall component 430 and a fourth drive component 440 mounted on the frame 100. The fourth drive component 440 is used to drive the right wheel stall component 430 to rise and fall. The charging detection mechanism includes a first slide block 510, a first pole post 520, a second pole post 530, and a fifth drive component 540 mounted on the frame 100. The first pole post 520 and the second pole post 530 are both mounted on the first slide block 510 and are arranged side by side with intervals. The fifth drive component 540 is used to drive the first slide block 510 to slide so that the first pole post 520 connects to the sweeping robot 8. The positive terminal of the charging connector of the robot vacuum cleaner 800 is connected to the negative terminal of the charging connector of the robot vacuum cleaner 800 via the second terminal 530. The radar detection mechanism, bumper detection mechanism, left wheel stall detection mechanism, right wheel stall detection mechanism and charging detection mechanism can be integrated on the frame 100. This allows the robot vacuum cleaner testing equipment to have radar detection function, bumper detection function, left wheel stall detection function, right wheel stall detection function and charging detection function at the same time. This simplifies the testing process of the robot vacuum cleaner 800 and improves the testing efficiency of the robot vacuum cleaner 800.

[0024] For example, when testing the robotic vacuum cleaner 800, the robotic vacuum cleaner 800 is placed on the test platform 110. The first drive component 230 drives the first trigger component 220 to trigger the radar of the robotic vacuum cleaner 800. The second drive component 320 drives the second trigger component 310 to trigger the bumper detection sensor of the robotic vacuum cleaner 800. The third drive component 420 drives the left wheel stall component 410 to rise, so that the left wheel stall component 410 abuts against the left wheel of the robotic vacuum cleaner 800, which can restrict the rotation of the left wheel of the robotic vacuum cleaner 800. The fourth drive component 440 drives the right wheel stall component 430 to rise. The right wheel stall component 430 abuts against the right wheel of the sweeping robot 800. The fifth drive component 540 drives the first slide block 510 to slide, so that the first pole post 520 is connected to the positive terminal of the charging connector of the sweeping robot 800, and the second pole post 530 is connected to the negative terminal of the charging connector of the sweeping robot 800. This allows the sweeping robot testing equipment to simultaneously have radar detection function, bumper detection function, left wheel stall detection function, right wheel stall detection function, and charging detection function, which can simplify the testing process of the sweeping robot 800 and thus improve the testing efficiency of the sweeping robot 800.

[0025] In this embodiment, four first trigger elements 220 are configured, and the four first trigger elements 220 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Each first trigger element 220 can slide in the up and down direction. The number of first trigger elements 220 is equal to that of first driving elements 230, which can simulate obstacles from different positions, realize comprehensive and accurate testing of the radar's circumferential detection function, ensure that the radar can be correctly triggered in any direction, and improve the test coverage and reliability.

[0026] In this embodiment, the radar detection mechanism further includes a third trigger 240 and a sixth drive 250. There are three third triggers 240, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Each third trigger 240 can slide horizontally. The number of third triggers 240 is equal to the number of sixth drive 250. The sixth drive 250 is located on the radar detection bracket 210 and is used to drive the corresponding third trigger 240 to slide. The horizontally sliding third trigger 240 can simulate the dynamic scene of an obstacle approaching from the side, which can enhance the testing dimension of the radar sensor's ability to detect dynamic changes and identify targets, making the test closer to the real environment.

[0027] For example, taking the direction of travel of the robot vacuum cleaner 800 as the front, one of the three third triggers 240 is located directly in front of the robot vacuum cleaner 800, and the other two are located at a 45-degree angle to the left front side and a 45-degree angle to the right front side of the robot vacuum cleaner 800, respectively. By setting three horizontally sliding third triggers 240, the dynamic scenario of obstacles approaching from the side can be simulated. This can enhance the testing dimension of the radar sensor's ability to detect dynamic changes and identify targets, making the test closer to the real environment.

[0028] In this embodiment, a button detection mechanism is also included. The button detection mechanism includes a fourth trigger 260 and a seventh drive 270. The seventh drive 270 is disposed on the radar detection bracket 210. The seventh drive 270 is used to drive the fourth trigger 260 to rise and fall, so as to trigger the switch button of the sweeping robot 800. On the one hand, this enables the sweeping robot testing equipment to have a button detection function. On the other hand, by integrating the button detection mechanism on the radar detection bracket 210, the sweeping robot testing equipment has a compact structure and reasonable layout.

[0029] In this embodiment, a dustbin and water tank detection mechanism is also included. The dustbin and water tank detection mechanism includes a second slide 610, an eighth drive member 620, a first magnet 630, and a second magnet 640. The first magnet 630 and the second magnet 640 are respectively disposed at different positions on the second slide 610. The eighth drive member 620 is used to drive the second slide 610 to rise and fall, so that the first magnet 630 enters or exits the dustbin of the sweeping robot 800, and the second magnet 640 enters or exits the water tank of the sweeping robot 800. The first magnet 630 can simulate the magnetic components inside the dustbin, and the second magnet 640 can simulate the magnetic components inside the water tank, so that the Hall sensor on the sweeping robot 800 can identify whether the dustbin and water tank are installed in place.

[0030] For example, when testing the robot vacuum cleaner 800, without installing the dustbin and water tank inside the robot vacuum cleaner 800, the eighth drive component 620 drives the second slide 610 to descend, so that the first magnet 630 and the second magnet 640 enter the interior of the robot vacuum cleaner 800. The first magnet 630 can simulate the magnetic components inside the dustbin, and the second magnet 640 can simulate the magnetic components inside the water tank, so that the Hall sensor on the robot vacuum cleaner 800 can identify whether the dustbin and water tank are installed in place.

[0031] In this embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with a rotary drive 280. The output end of the rotary drive 280 is connected to the radar detection bracket 210 so that the radar detection bracket 210 can move closer to or further away from the test platform 110. This facilitates the interference between the radar detection mechanism and the sweeping robot 800, and leaves space for the movement of other detection mechanisms or the sweeping robot 800, thereby improving the safety and convenience of using the sweeping robot testing equipment.

[0032] Reference Figure 10 In this embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with a ninth driving component 120, which is used to drive the test platform 110 to rise and fall, and can flexibly adjust the height position of the robot vacuum cleaner 800 under test. On the one hand, it can be adapted to different models and sizes of robot vacuum cleaners 800, ensuring that each testing mechanism can accurately trigger the corresponding components, thereby improving the versatility of the testing equipment; on the other hand, the liftable test platform 110 can be used to simulate different working planes and enrich the testing scenarios.

[0033] In this embodiment, three second triggers 310 are configured, and the three second triggers 310 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Each second trigger 310 can slide along the horizontal direction. The number of second triggers 310 is equal to that of the second drive members 320. The three second triggers 310 can simulate the scenario of obstacles colliding with the bumper from different directions, realize the comprehensive test of the bumper's circumferential collision detection function, and ensure that the sweeping robot 800 can effectively trigger the anti-collision mechanism in all directions.

[0034] For example, of the three second triggers 310, one is located directly in front of the robot vacuum 800, and the other two are located at a 45-degree angle to the left front side and a 45-degree angle to the right front side of the robot vacuum 800, respectively. By setting three horizontally sliding second triggers 310, the scenario of obstacles colliding with the bumper from different directions can be simulated, realizing a comprehensive test of the bumper's circumferential collision detection function, and ensuring that the robot vacuum 800 can effectively trigger the anti-collision mechanism in all directions.

[0035] In this embodiment, a side brush motor stall mechanism is also included, located below the test platform 110. The side brush motor stall mechanism includes a side brush motor stall component 710 and a tenth drive component. The tenth drive component is used to drive the side brush motor stall component 710 to rise and fall. By integrating the side brush motor stall mechanism located below the test platform 110, the stall protection function of the side brush motor can be directly tested when the sweeping robot 800 is working in a simulated manner.

[0036] For example, when testing the robotic vacuum cleaner 800, the tenth drive unit drives the side brush motor stall component 710 to rise, so that the side brush motor stall component 710 abuts against the side brush of the robotic vacuum cleaner 800, thereby restricting the rotation of the side brush. This allows the stall protection function of the side brush motor to be tested directly when the robotic vacuum cleaner 800 is simulating operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, a main brush motor stall mechanism is also included, located below the test platform 110. The main brush motor stall mechanism includes a main brush motor stall component and an eleventh drive component. The eleventh drive component is used to drive the main brush motor stall component to rise and fall. By integrating the main brush motor stall mechanism located below the test platform 110, the stall protection function of the main brush motor can be directly tested when the robot vacuum cleaner 800 is working in a simulated manner.

[0038] For example, when testing the 800 robotic vacuum cleaner, the eleventh drive unit drives the main brush motor stall component to rise, so that the main brush motor stall component comes into contact with the main brush of the 800 robotic vacuum cleaner, thereby restricting the rotation of the main brush. This allows the stall protection function of the main brush motor to be tested directly when the 800 robotic vacuum cleaner is simulating operation.

[0039] It should be noted that the aforementioned driving components can be cylinders, motors combined with ball screws, or other conventional driving components such as hydraulic cylinders. Specific implementation methods can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
