It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this disclosure complete and exhaustive, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those competent in the art.
[0033] As shown in FIGs. 1 to 8, one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning device 100. The cleaning device 100 may be a sweeping robot, a cleaning robot, an integrated sweeping and cleaning machine, or another cleaning robot meeting the requirements.
[0034] More specifically, as shown in [Fig. 1], the cleaning device 100 comprises, but is not limited to: a machine body 110, a cleaning assembly, a drive assembly, etc. The above assemblies are coordinated between so that the cleaning device 100 can move autonomously to perform a cleaning function. In the cleaning device 100, the functional and similar elements constituting the above assemblies are arranged in an integrated manner on the machine body 110. It can be understood that the cleaning device 100 can be an autonomous cleaning device. An autonomous cleaning device is a device that automatically performs a cleaning operation in a specific area without user intervention.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the cleaning device 100 provided by the embodiment of this disclosure comprises: the machine body 110, an environmental sensing assembly 120, and a heat-conducting element. The heat-conducting element is mounted on the machine body 110, and the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the heat-conducting element.
[0036] For the cleaning device 100, the environmental sensing assembly 120 is generally provided to detect the environment surrounding the cleaning device 100. The environmental sensing assembly 120 is an important sensor for the cleaning device 100, playing a vital role in operating conditions such as mapping, navigation and obstacle avoidance.
[0037] The environmental sensing assembly 120 can be a sensor module that acquires information about obstacles or the environment, such as a LiDAR or a camera. The LiDAR can be a time-of-flight (TOF) LiDAR, an indirect time-of-flight (ITOF) LiDAR, or similar. Specifically, TOF and ITOF LiDARs are widely used in the cleaning device 100 due to their advantages such as high accuracy, high speed, and high resolution. It can be understood that the LiDAR applied to the cleaning device 100 can also be of another type. The camera can include a 3D camera, a standard camera, or similar.
[0038] The cleaning device 100 provided by the embodiment of this disclosure comprises the machine body 110, the environmental sensing assembly 120, and the heat-conducting element. The environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the machine body 110 via the heat-conducting element; that is, the heat-conducting element is mounted on the machine body 110, and the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the heat-conducting element. In this way, the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is transferred to the machine body 110 via the heat-conducting element and dissipated from the machine body 110. For example, the cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be achieved by ventilation between the machine body 110 and the external environment.Alternatively, since the surface of the . The machine body 110 has a much larger surface area than the heat-conducting element. This allows the heat-conducting element to continuously transfer heat to the machine body 110, thus cooling and dissipating heat from the environmental sensing assembly 120. Consequently, the temperature of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be significantly reduced, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation due to increased heat generation from the higher output power of the environmental sensing assembly 120. This also reduces the risk of damage to the environmental sensing assembly 120 from excessively high temperatures. This can extend the service life of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and thus improve the overall reliability of the cleaning device 100.Furthermore, this arrangement can significantly extend the output power range of the 120 environmental detection set. Since the output power of the 120 environmental detection set is correlated with the detection accuracy, high detection accuracy of the 120 environmental detection set can be ensured, thus improving the competitiveness of the 100 cleaning device market.
[0039] More specifically, the heat-conducting element can be made of heat-conducting metal or heat-conducting silicone, or can be made of other heat-conducting structures meeting the requirements.
[0040] As shown in FIGs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a dust suction fan 130. The machine body 110 is equipped with a dust suction duct, and the dust suction fan 130 is mounted on the machine body 110 and is in communication with the dust suction duct to create a negative pressure in the dust suction duct, thus enabling a dust suction operation of the cleaning device 100.
[0041] Furthermore, the cleaning device 100 also includes a dust box 160 and a cleaning assembly. The dust suction duct is connected to the dust box 160, or the dust box 160 can be understood as forming part of the dust suction duct. The cleaning assembly can be a roller brush or similar. By maintaining some contact with the floor, the roller brush sweeps the debris from the floor and rolls it forward through a dust suction inlet between the roller brush and the dust box 160. The debris is then drawn into the dust box 160 by suction air, which is generated by the dust suction fan 130 and passes through the dust suction duct and the dust box 160, thus performing the dust suction operation of the cleaning device 100.
[0042] In this embodiment, the dust-sucking fan 130 is mounted on the machine body 110, and the heat-conducting element is mounted on a housing of the dust-sucking fan 130. In this way, the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is transferred to the housing of the dust-sucking fan 130 via the heat-conducting element.During the operation of the dust-extracting fan 130, the airflow carries away heat from the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130, so that the cooling and heat dissipation of the heat-conducting element can be achieved, and subsequently the cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be achieved, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation for increased heat generation due to increased output power of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and reducing the risk of damage to the environmental sensing assembly 120 due to excessively high temperature.This extends the service life of the 120 environmental sensing assembly and is conducive to extending the output power range of the 120 environmental sensing assembly, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the 120 environmental sensing assembly.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by adding the thermally conductive element and combining the existing structure of the dust extraction fan 130 of the cleaning device 100, the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the housing of the dust extraction fan 130 via the thermally conductive element. This enables rapid cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation due to the high heat generation of the environmental sensing assembly 120, thus improving user satisfaction. Moreover, this arrangement is structurally simple and economical.
[0044] Furthermore, the dust extraction fan 130 can be detachably connected to the machine body 110 to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the dust extraction fan 130. For example, the dust extraction fan 130 can be detachably connected to the machine body 110 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a snap-fit structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic structure. It can be understood that in other examples, the dust extraction fan 130 and the machine body 110 can also be permanently connected by structures such as welding.
[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a counterweight block 140. The block of The counterweight 140 is connected to the machine body 110 to balance the weight distribution of the cleaning device 100. The arrangement of the counterweight block 140 can improve the stability of the overall center of gravity of the cleaning device 100, thus improving the operational stability and reliability of the cleaning device 100. In this embodiment, the counterweight block 140 is configured as the aforementioned heat-conducting element, i.e., the counterweight block 140 has heat-conducting properties.
[0046] The environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the counterweight block 140, and the counterweight block 140 is mounted on the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130. Thus, the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is transferred to the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130 via the heat-conducting counterweight block 140.The airflow generated during the operation of the dust extraction fan 130 carries away heat from the fan housing, thus cooling and dissipating heat from the counterweight block 140. This, in turn, cools and dissipates heat from the environmental sensing assembly 120, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation due to the increased heat generation resulting from the higher power output of the environmental sensing assembly 120. It also reduces the risk of damage to the environmental sensing assembly 120 due to excessively high temperatures. This can extend the service life of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and thus improve the overall reliability of the cleaning device 100.Furthermore, this arrangement is conducive to extending the output power range of the 120 environmental detection assembly, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the 120 environmental detection assembly.
[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the existing counterweight block 140 of the cleaning device 100, so that rapid cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be achieved using the existing structures of the counterweight block 140 and the dust extraction fan 130 of the cleaning device 100. This arrangement requires few design modifications and results in a simple structure and low cost, making it suitable for widespread application.
[0048] More specifically, the counterweight block 140 can be a metallic thermally conductive element or a non-metallic heat-conducting element. For example, the counterweight block 140 can be an iron block, a copper block, or similar. Alternatively, the 140 counterweight block can be made of heat-conducting silicone or similar material.
[0049] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, in the above embodiment, the counterweight block 140 is equipped with a mounting part 142. The mounting part 142 is configured to mount the environmental sensing assembly 120; that is, the environmental sensing assembly 120 is connected to the mounting part 142. Thus, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be reliably and stably fixed to the counterweight block 140 via the mounting part 142, in order to improve the operational reliability of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and ensure good sensing accuracy of the environmental sensing assembly 120.
[0050] More specifically, the mounting portion 142 may be at least one of the following: a mounting hole and a mounting groove. Alternatively, the mounting portion 142 may be a limiting rib, a boss, or similar. More specifically, the mounting hole may be at least one of the following: a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a regularly shaped hole, and an irregularly shaped hole. The mounting groove may be at least one of the following: a through groove, a counterbore groove, a snap groove, and an insertion groove, and the shape of the mounting groove may also be at least one of the following: a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a regularly shaped hole, and an irregularly shaped hole.It can be understood that the mounting part 142 can be adapted to at least a part of the environmental sensing assembly 120 in shape, to provide effective pre-positioning and limiting for the environmental sensing assembly 120, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of assembling the environmental sensing assembly 120 with the counterweight block 140.
[0051] More specifically, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can also be fixed to the mounting part 142 by other means such as an adhesive or a hot melt glue, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the fixed connection between the environmental sensing assembly 120 and the counterweight block 140. Alternatively, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can also be fixed to the mounting part 142 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a plug-in structure, a snap-on structure, and the like, thus achieving the detachable connection between the environmental sensing assembly 120 and the counterweight block 140, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the environmental sensing assembly 120.
[0052] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, a clearance portion 141 is provided at the bottom of the counterweight block 140, and the clearance part 141 is adapted to at least part of the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130.
[0053] The arrangement of the clearance portion 141 can reduce the distance between the counterweight block 140 and at least part of the dust extraction fan housing 130, allowing the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 to be rapidly transferred to the dust extraction fan housing 130 via the counterweight block 140, thus significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and ensuring good heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the clearance portion 141 allows for a compact arrangement of the counterweight block 140 and the dust extraction fan 130 and reduces the gap between the counterweight block and the dust extraction fan, thereby meeting the design requirements for a compact layout and small volume of the cleaning device 100.
[0054] More specifically, the clearance portion 141 may be a structure such as a clearance groove or a clearance notch. One, two, three, or more clearance portions 141 may be provided.
[0055] As shown in FIGs. 1 to 5, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a mounting frame 150. The mounting frame 150 is connected to the housing of the dust-suction fan 130, and the heat-conducting element is connected to the mounting frame 150.
[0056] In other words, the heat-conducting element is connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130 via the mounting frame 150. The arrangement of the mounting frame 150 eliminates the need to modify the structure of the dust extraction fan housing 130; that is, it is not necessary to modify the overall structure of the dust extraction fan 130. By simply adding the mounting frame 150, which fits the dust extraction fan housing 130 and the heat-conducting element, the assembly of the heat-conducting element and the dust extraction fan 130 can be achieved, which is operationally simple and facilitates convenient assembly.
[0057] It can be understood that, in this example, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be mounted on the heat-conducting element, and the heat-conducting element can be directly connected to the dust-exhaust fan housing 130 via the mounting frame 150. Alternatively, the heat-conducting element can be the counterweight block 140, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be mounted on the counterweight block 140, and the counterweight block 140 can be directly connected to the dust-exhaust fan housing. dust 130 via the mounting frame 150. In other words, the heat-conducting element in this example can be either the counterweight block 140 with a heat-conducting function, or a separate thermally conductive element from the counterweight block 140.
[0058] More specifically, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a snap-fit structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, a magnetic structure, and the like. Alternatively, the mounting frame 150 and the dust extraction fan housing can be permanently connected by a welded structure or an adhesive.
[0059] More specifically, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the heat-conducting element. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the heat-conducting element by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a snap-fit structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, a magnetic structure, and the like. Alternatively, the mounting frame 150 and the heat-conducting element can be permanently connected by a welded structure or an adhesive.
[0060] It can be understood that when the heat-conducting element is the counterweight block 140, the mounting frame 150 is connected to the dust-extracting fan housing 130, and the counterweight block 140 is connected to the mounting frame 150.
[0061] Furthermore, the mounting frame 150 can be made of a heat-conducting material. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be a heat-conducting metal element or a heat-conducting silicone element. With the reliable connection between the heat-conducting element and the dust-exhaust fan 130 ensured by the mounting frame 150, the heat from the heat-conducting element can be rapidly transferred to the housing of the dust-exhaust fan 130, thus ensuring efficient and effective cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120.
[0062] As shown in FIGs. 1 to 5, in other implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a counterweight block 140. The counterweight block 140 is connected to the machine body 110 to balance the weight distribution of the cleaning device 100, and the heat-conducting element is mounted on the counterweight block 140.
[0063] In other words, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 100 comprises the counterweight block 140 and the heat-conducting element (not shown). The arrangement of the counterweight block 140 can improve the overall stability of the center of gravity of the cleaning device 100, thereby improving the operational stability and reliability of the cleaning device 100. The environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element. In this way, the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is transferred to the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element and dissipated on the counterweight block 140. For example, the cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 are achieved by heat exchange between the counterweight block 140 and the external environment or other components.Thus, the temperature of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be significantly reduced, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation due to increased heat generation resulting from the increased output power of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and reducing the risk of damage to the environmental sensing assembly 120 due to excessively high temperatures. This can extend the service life of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and thus improve the overall reliability of the cleaning device 100. Furthermore, this arrangement can significantly expand the output power range of the environmental sensing assembly 120.Since the output power of the 120 environmental detection assembly is correlated with the detection accuracy, high detection accuracy of the 120 environmental detection assembly can be ensured, thus improving the competitiveness of the 100 cleaning device in the market.
[0064] In certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the counterweight block 140 is made of a heat-conducting material. In this way, the speed and efficiency of heat transfer to the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element can be improved, thereby enhancing the cooling and heat dissipation efficiency of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and ensuring good cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120.
[0065] The counterweight block 140 can be made of a metallic heat-conducting material. For example, the counterweight block 140 can be an iron block, a copper block, or similar. Alternatively, the counterweight block 140 can be made of a non-metallic heat-conducting material. For example, the counterweight block 140 can be made of heat-conducting silicone.
[0066] More specifically, the thermal conductivity of the counterweight block 140 may be greater than, less than or equal to that of the heat-conducting element.
[0067] As shown in FIGs. 1 to 5, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a dust suction fan 130. The machine body 110 is equipped with a dust suction duct, the dust suction fan 130 is in communication with the dust suction duct to create a negative pressure in the dust suction duct, and the counterweight block 140 is mounted on a housing of the dust suction fan 130.
[0068] In this way, the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is transferred to the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element, and then transferred to the dust-sucking fan housing 130 via the counterweight block 140.During the operation of the dust-extracting fan 130, the airflow carries away the heat from the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130, so that the cooling and heat dissipation of the counterweight block 140 can be achieved. The heat from the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be quickly and continuously transferred to the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element, and then the cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be achieved, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation for increased heat generation due to increased output power of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and reducing the risk of damage to the environmental sensing assembly 120 due to excessively high temperature.This can extend the service life of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and thus improve the overall reliability of the cleaning device 100. In addition, this arrangement is conducive to extending the output power range of the environmental sensing assembly 120, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the environmental sensing assembly 120.
[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by adding the heat-conducting element and combining the existing structures of the counterweight block 140 and the dust-extracting fan 130 of the cleaning device 100, rapid cooling and heat dissipation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 are possible, meeting the requirements for rapid heat dissipation due to the high heat generation of the environmental sensing assembly 120, thus improving user satisfaction. Moreover, this arrangement is structurally simple and economical.
[0070] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 also includes: a mounting frame 150. The mounting frame 150 is connected to the dust-extracting fan housing 130, and the counterweight block 140 is connected to the mounting frame 150.
[0071] In other words, the counterweight block 140 is connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130 via the mounting frame 150. The arrangement of the mounting frame 150 eliminates the need to modify the structure of the dust extraction fan housing 130; that is, it is not necessary to modify the overall structure of the dust extraction fan 130. By simply adding the mounting frame 150, which fits the dust extraction fan housing 130 and the counterweight block 140, the assembly of the counterweight block 140 and the dust extraction fan 130 can be achieved, which is operationally simple and facilitates convenient assembly.
[0072] It can be understood that, in this example, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be mounted on the heat-conducting element, the heat-conducting element can be mounted on the counterweight block 140, and the counterweight block 140 can be connected to the dust-extracting fan housing 130 via the mounting frame 150.
[0073] More specifically, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the dust extraction fan housing 130 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a snap-fit structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, a magnetic structure, and the like. Alternatively, the mounting frame 150 and the dust extraction fan housing can be permanently connected by a welded structure or an adhesive.
[0074] More specifically, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the counterweight block 140. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be detachably connected to the counterweight block 140 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a snap-fit structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, a magnetic structure, and the like. Alternatively, the mounting frame 150 and the counterweight block 140 can be permanently connected by a welded structure or an adhesive.
[0075] Furthermore, the mounting frame 150 can be made of a thermally conductive material. For example, the mounting frame 150 can be a heat-conducting metal frame or a heat-conducting silicone frame. With the reliability of the connection between the counterweight block 140 and the dust extraction fan housing 130 ensured by the mounting frame 150, the heat from the counterweight block 140 can be rapidly transferred to the dust extraction fan housing. dust 130, in order to ensure efficient and effective cooling and heat dissipation of the entire environmental detection assembly 120.
[0076] As shown in the FIGS. In the embodiment described above, the counterweight block 140 is equipped with a mounting part 142. The mounting part 142 is configured to mount the heat-conducting element; that is, the heat-conducting element is connected to the mounting part 142. Thus, the heat-conducting element can be reliably and stably fixed to the counterweight block 140 via the mounting part 142. Since the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted on the heat-conducting element, and the heat-conducting element is mounted on the mounting part 142 of the counterweight block 140, the environmental sensing assembly 120 can be indirectly fixed to the counterweight block 140. This improves the operational reliability of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and ensures good sensing accuracy.
[0077] More specifically, the mounting portion 142 may be at least one of the following: a mounting hole and a mounting groove. Alternatively, the mounting portion 142 may be a limiting rib, a boss, or the like. More specifically, the mounting hole may be at least one of the following: a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a regularly shaped hole, and an irregularly shaped hole. The mounting groove may be at least one of the following: a through groove, a counterbore groove, a snap groove, and an insertion groove, and the shape of the mounting groove may also be at least one of the following: a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a regularly shaped hole, and an irregularly shaped hole.It can be understood that the mounting part 142 can be adapted to at least a portion of the shaped heat-conducting element, to provide effective pre-positioning and limiting for the heat-conducting element, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of assembling the heat-conducting element with the counterweight block 140.
[0078] More specifically, the heat-conducting element can also be attached to the mounting part 142 by other means such as adhesive or hot-melt glue, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the fixed connection between the heat-conducting element and the counterweight block 140. Alternatively, the heat-conducting element can also be attached to the mounting part 142 by at least one of the following structures: a bolted structure, a plug-in structure, a snap-on structure, and the like, thus achieving a detachable connection between the heat-conducting element and the counterweight block 140. This facilitates the removal of the environmental sensing assembly 120 from the counterweight block 140 by removing the heat-conducting element from the block counterweight 140, thus facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the environmental detection assembly 120.
[0079] As shown in FIGs. 6 and 7, in certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, a clearance portion 141 is provided at the bottom of the counterweight block 140, and the clearance portion 141 is adapted to at least a portion of the housing of the dust-extracting fan 130.
[0080] The arrangement of the clearance portion 141 can reduce the distance between the counterweight block 140 and at least part of the dust extraction fan housing 130, allowing the heat generated during the operation of the environmental sensing assembly 120 to be rapidly transferred to the dust extraction fan housing 130 via the counterweight block 140, thus significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the environmental sensing assembly 120 and ensuring good heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the clearance portion 141 allows for a compact arrangement of the counterweight block 140 and the dust extraction fan 130 and reduces the gap between the counterweight block and the dust extraction fan, thereby meeting the design requirements for a compact layout and small volume of the cleaning device 100.
[0081] More specifically, the clearance portion 141 may be a structure such as a clearance groove or a clearance notch. One, two, three, or more clearance portions 141 may be provided.
[0082] In certain implementable embodiments provided by this disclosure, the weight of the environmental sensing assembly 120 does not exceed 10 g. For example, the weight of the environmental sensing assembly 120 may be 1 g, 2 g, 5 g, 8 g, 10 g, or other weights. Thus, the overall weight of the environmental sensing assembly 120 is low. When the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted directly on the counterweight block 140, or when the environmental sensing assembly 120 is mounted indirectly on the counterweight block 140 via the heat-conducting element, the weight of the environmental sensing assembly 120 has less impact on the weight of the counterweight block 140.Therefore, without modifying the existing structure of the counterweight block 140, the counterweight block 140 can still effectively balance the weight distribution of the cleaning device 100, i.e., the stability of the overall center of gravity of the cleaning device 100 can still be ensured, thus improving the operational stability and reliability of the cleaning device 100. Consequently, the cleaning device provided by this disclosure has a good cooling and heat dissipation effect for the environmental sensing assembly 120 with minimal modifications to the existing structure of the device. 100 cleaning. This design is cost-effective and easy to implement, making it suitable for widespread application.
