Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture, specifically to a hidden cabinet for a robot vacuum and mop combo. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart home technology, robot vacuums and mops have become common cleaning devices in modern homes. However, the current storage methods for robot vacuums and mops generally have several problems: First, most robots and their base stations are placed directly on the ground, which not only occupies floor space and ruins the overall aesthetics of the home design, but also easily accumulates dust and may even be damaged by accidental collisions. Second, some simple storage cabinets on the market require users to manually open the cabinet doors, which contradicts the fully automated cleaning concept of robots and reduces the convenience of use. Furthermore, traditional storage cabinets are mostly fixed in structure. If the robot or its base station malfunctions and needs repair, it often requires moving the heavy cabinet as a whole or performing complex disassembly, which is extremely inconvenient. In addition, many traditional storage cabinets have a closed interior space and lack effective ventilation design, which can easily lead to damage to electronic components of the robot due to moisture or the growth of bacteria and odors. Especially for robot vacuums with advanced functions such as automatic water supply and drainage, automatic dust collection, and automatic mop cleaning, their base stations need to be connected to water supply and drainage pipes. Existing storage methods cannot effectively hide these pipes, resulting in messy and exposed pipes, which not only affects the aesthetics but also poses a tripping hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a hidden cabinet for a sweeping and mopping robot.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows: A hidden cabinet for a robot vacuum and mop, comprising: The cabinet has an internal cavity for accommodating the robot vacuum and mop.

The entire cleaning process does not require user intervention, which meets the core needs of smart home automation and convenience, and avoids the tediousness of manually opening the door. Humanized maintenance design: The innovative top hidden maintenance cover design allows users to easily open it without tools to install, maintain and troubleshoot the internal robots, charging and water replenishment tanks and pipelines. This design avoids the great inconvenience of having to move or disassemble the entire cabinet in the traditional solution, and greatly reduces the difficulty and time cost of maintenance. Optimized equipment maintenance environment: The ventilation hole design at the bottom of the housing ensures effective air circulation inside the cabinet, which can remove moisture in time and prevent damage to robot electronic components or the growth of mold and odor due to dampness; combined with the anti-slip cushioning pad at the bottom of the housing, it provides a stable, safe and dry storage and working environment for the robot, which helps to extend the service life of the equipment. Reduce long-term use and renovation costs: This hidden cabinet can be designed and installed simultaneously with the whole house's custom furniture, and the pipelines are pre-buried in one go. If different models of robot vacuums and mops need to be replaced in the future, as long as the size is compatible, they can be directly replaced without secondary modifications to the cabinet structure and water and electricity pipelines, which has good compatibility and economy.
