[0017] One aspect of the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a cleaning device 100 is provided, including a housing 110, a drive mechanism 120, a walking mechanism 130, and a cleaning mechanism 140. The drive mechanism 120 is disposed inside the housing 110, and the walking mechanism 130 and the cleaning mechanism 140 are respectively disposed outside the housing 110. The walking mechanism 130 is connected to the drive mechanism 120 in a transmission manner, and the cleaning mechanism 140 is connected to the drive mechanism 120 in a driving manner. After the drive mechanism 120 drives the walking mechanism 130 to move the cleaning device 100 to a preset position, the drive mechanism 120 drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to clean the target object at the preset position.

[0018] Specifically, the cleaning device 100 includes a housing 110, a drive mechanism 120, a traveling mechanism 130, and a cleaning mechanism 140. The housing 110 has a sealed chamber. The drive mechanism 120 is disposed within the sealed chamber, while the traveling mechanism 130 and the cleaning mechanism 140 are respectively disposed outside the sealed chamber. For example, the traveling mechanism 130 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 110, and the cleaning mechanism 140 is disposed at the front of the housing 110, i.e., at the front of the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. The traveling mechanism 130 is drivenly connected to the drive mechanism 120, which provides power to the traveling mechanism 130, enabling the cleaning device 100 to move to a preset position, which is the location of the target object. The cleaning mechanism 140 is drivenly connected to the drive mechanism 120, which provides power to the cleaning mechanism 140 to perform the cleaning action.

[0019] When the target object needs to be cleaned, the drive mechanism 120 drives the walking mechanism 130 to move, so that the walking mechanism 130 drives the cleaning device 100 to move until the cleaning device 100 moves to the location of the target object. At this time, the cleaning mechanism 140 comes into contact with the target object, and the drive mechanism 120 drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to perform the cleaning action, so that the cleaning mechanism 140 cleans the target object until the target object can work normally. Then, the drive mechanism 120 drives the walking mechanism 130 to drive the cleaning device 100 away from the target object.

[0020] In some embodiments, the target object is a water level gauge, which is used to detect the water level of a reservoir or river. Therefore, the water level gauge is perpendicular to the water surface and fixedly installed on the dam of the reservoir or the bank of the river. The cleaning device 100 needs to move on the water surface and perform cleaning actions. The housing 110 is made of plastic, and a sealed chamber is formed inside the plastic housing 110 to provide buoyancy for the cleaning device 100. The walking mechanism 130 can be a propeller or a water pump to generate thrust for the cleaning device 100 to move forward or backward. The cleaning device 100 also includes a direction control mechanism, which is connected to the walking mechanism 130. The direction control mechanism controls the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100 so that the cleaning device 100 moves to a preset position.

[0021] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 100 includes a slide rail 150 and a slider. The slide rail 150 is fixed inside the housing 110. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail 150 and movably connected to the cleaning mechanism 140. The driving mechanism 120 includes a first telescopic member 121. The first telescopic member 121 is driven to the slider. The first telescopic member 121 drives the slider to drive the cleaning mechanism 140 to wipe the target object.

[0022] Specifically, the cleaning device 100 includes a slide rail 150 fixedly disposed in a sealed chamber and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail 150. The drive mechanism 120 includes a first telescopic member 121, the movable end of which is drivenly connected to the slider, and the slider is movably connected to the cleaning mechanism 140. When the traveling mechanism 130 drives the cleaning device 100 to the location of the target object, the cleaning mechanism 140 contacts the target object. At this time, the first telescopic member 121 drives the slider to reciprocate along the extension direction of the slide rail 150, so that the slider drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to perform a cleaning action, so that the cleaning mechanism 140 wipes the target object. Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 140 includes a connecting frame 141 and a cleaning component 142. One end of the connecting frame 141 is connected to the cleaning component 142, and the other end is movably connected to the slider. The connecting frame 141 is slidably connected to the housing 110. The first telescopic member 121 drives the slider to move the connecting frame 141 back and forth along the water depth direction, so that the connecting frame 141 drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to wipe the target object.

[0023] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 140 includes a connecting frame 141 and a cleaning component 142. The cleaning component 142 is used to wipe the target object, and the connecting frame 141 is used to fix the cleaning component 142 and drive the cleaning component 142 to perform the cleaning action. The connecting frame 141 is slidably connected to the housing 110. Specifically, the sliding direction of the connecting frame 141 is perpendicular to the water surface, so as to drive the cleaning component 142 to clean the target object set perpendicular to the water surface. One end of the connecting frame 141 is connected to the cleaning component 142, and the other end of the connecting frame 141 is movably connected to the slider. The slider is driven to slide along the direction of the slide rail 150 by the first telescopic member 121, so that the slider drives the connecting frame 141 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, so that the connecting frame 141 drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, and the cleaning mechanism 140 contacts and wipes the target object.

[0024] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 141 includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the first connecting rod is movably connected to the slider, and the other end is movably connected to the second connecting rod. The second connecting rod is slidably connected to the housing 110 and connected to the cleaning assembly 142. The slider is driven to slide along the slide rail 150 by the first telescopic member 121, so that the connecting end of the first connecting rod and the slide rail 150 also slides along the slide rail 150. This causes the connecting end of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to drive the second connecting rod to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, so that the second connecting rod drives the cleaning mechanism 140 to wipe the target object.

[0025] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 140 also includes a claw positioning component 143, which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141 and is used to hold and position the target object.

[0026] Specifically, the drive mechanism 120 provides power to the walking mechanism 130, which in turn moves the cleaning device 100 to the location of the target object. At this point, the target object is held and positioned by the claw positioning member 143, which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141. When the slider moves the connecting frame 141 in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, the claw positioning member 143 also moves in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, which is the direction of the target object's extension. By setting the claw positioning member 143, the cleaning component 142 contacts the target object and achieves accurate cleaning of the target object.

[0027] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 140 also includes a second telescopic member 144 fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141, and the cleaning assembly 142 includes a cleaning brush 1421. The second telescopic member 144 is drivenly connected to the cleaning brush 1421 and is used to drive the cleaning brush 1421 to contact the target object. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 140 includes a second telescopic member 144, and the cleaning component 142 includes a cleaning brush 1421. The fixed end of the second telescopic member 144 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141, and the movable end is driven to connect to the cleaning brush 1421. When the walking mechanism 130 drives the cleaning device 100 to the position of the target object, the claw positioning member 143 holds and positions the target object. The second telescopic member 144 drives the cleaning brush 1421 to contact the target object. At this time, the first telescopic member 121 drives the slider to slide along the direction of the slide rail 150, so that the slider drives the connecting frame 141 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, and the cleaning brush 1421 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the water surface, so that the cleaning brush 1421 removes the stains on the target object.

[0028] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the cleaning mechanism 140 also includes a third telescopic member 145 fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141, and the cleaning assembly 142 includes a cleaning sponge 1422. The third telescopic member 145 is drivenly connected to the cleaning sponge 1422 and is used to drive the cleaning sponge 1422 to contact the target object.

[0029] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 140 includes a third telescopic member 145, and the cleaning component 142 includes a cleaning sponge 1422. The fixed end of the third telescopic member 145 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 141, and the movable end is driven to connect to the cleaning sponge 1422. After the cleaning brush 1421 cleans the target object, the second telescopic member 144 drives the cleaning brush 1421 to retract, and the third telescopic member 145 drives the cleaning sponge 1422 to contact the target object. The cleaning sponge 1422 wipes the target object clean under the action of the connecting frame 141. Alternatively, the cleaning brush 1421 and the cleaning sponge 1422 can be used simultaneously to clean the target object.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first telescopic member 121, the second telescopic member 144, and the third telescopic member 145 can be electric push rods or linear motors, and there are no specific limitations.

[0031] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the walking mechanism 130 includes a drive shaft 131, an impeller 132, and a wheel 133. The impeller 132 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 131, and the wheel 133 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 131. The drive mechanism 120 includes a first drive member 122, which is connected to the drive shaft 131 in a transmission manner.

[0032] Specifically, the first driving component 122 is connected to the drive shaft 131. The first driving component 122 drives the drive shaft 131 to rotate, causing the drive shaft 131 to drive the impeller 132 and the wheel 133, which are fixedly connected to the drive shaft 131. When the cleaning device 100 moves on the water surface to perform cleaning operations, the drive shaft 131 drives the impeller 132 to rotate, causing the impeller 132 to move the cleaning device 100 to the location of the target object. After the cleaning operation is completed, the drive shaft 131 drives the wheel 133 to rotate, causing the wheel 133 to drive the cleaning device 100 to perform other operations on land. It should be noted that the rotation of the impeller 132 does not interfere with the rotation of the wheel 133, and vice versa.

[0033] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 100 also includes a battery 160 and a charging plug 170. The charging plug 170 is electrically connected to the battery 160, and the battery 160 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 120, the second telescopic member 144, and the third telescopic member 145, respectively.

[0034] Specifically, the cleaning device 100 also includes a battery 160 and a charging plug 170. The battery 160 is fixedly disposed inside a sealed chamber, and the charging plug 170 is electrically connected to the battery 160 and disposed on the side wall of the housing 110. The cleaning device 100 is moved to an external power source by the wheels 133, and the battery 160 is charged by connecting to the external power source through a charging socket. It should be noted that a sealing cover is provided at the charging plug 170 to cover the charging plug 170. When charging is required, the sealing cover is opened to expose the charging plug 170; when charging is not required, the sealing cover covers the charging plug 170 to provide waterproofing. The battery 160 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 120, the second telescopic member 144, and the third telescopic member 145 respectively to provide power to the drive mechanism 120, the second telescopic member 144, and the third telescopic member 145. Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 100 also includes a camera 180, a controller 181, and a memory 182. The camera 180 is electrically connected to the memory 182 via the controller 181, and the camera 180 is located on the top of the housing 110. Specifically, the camera 180 is mounted on the top of the housing 110. It should be noted that the camera 180 has a waterproof casing, while the controller 181 and memory 182 are fixedly mounted inside the sealed chamber. The camera 180 can monitor the cleaning process of the cleaning mechanism 140 on the target object in real time. The video footage captured by the camera 180 is processed by the controller 181 and stored in the memory 182. Operators can retrieve the video information from the memory 182 to view the cleaning process of the cleaning device 100 on the target object.

[0035] In some implementations, the controller 181 is connected to an external display device via a network, allowing staff to view the cleaning process of the cleaning device 100 on the target object in real time.

[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 100 also includes a communication module 183, which is electrically connected to the controller 181 so that the signals received by the communication module 183 can control the drive mechanism 120, the second telescopic member 144 and the third telescopic member 145 respectively via the controller 181.

[0037] Specifically, the cleaning device 100 also includes a communication module 183 electrically connected to the controller 181, which is fixedly installed inside the sealed chamber. Operators can view the actual movement of the cleaning device 100 in real time via an external display device, and then control the radio transmitter to send control signals. The communication module 183 receives and decodes the control signals, and the controller 181 obtains the decoded control signals from the communication module 183, controlling the drive mechanism 120, the second telescopic member 144, and the third telescopic member 145 to perform corresponding actions.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
