Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive cleaning robot for public areas in the town.
Background Art
[0002] As the construction of intelligent towns progresses, the environmental maintenance of public areas in the town has become an important factor in improving the quality of residents' lives. The public areas in the town include various places such as roads, squares, corridors, stairs, and the surrounding green belts. The daily pedestrian volume is large, the amount of garbage generated is not stable, and the cleaning demand shows diverse characteristics with high frequency. The conventional cleaning method mainly relies on manual labor, and cleaners who work based on their own experience have played a fundamental role in environmental maintenance in town management over a long period.
[0003] In recent years, intelligent technology has been expanding its application in the field of town management, and cleaning robots, as the core equipment of intelligent cleaning equipment, have been gradually introduced to public cleaning areas. Such equipment has already achieved a preliminary scale application in closed or semi-closed environments such as shopping streets and commercial buildings due to its characteristics of autonomous movement and automatic cleaning. In addition to providing automated means for public area cleaning, it also provides technical reference for the intelligent improvement of cleaning in public areas in the town.
[0004] However, currently, the driverless cleaning vehicles used in public areas in the town are restricted in their volume and working structure as the mainstream cleaning equipment, so they can only be applied to cleaning in large areas and cannot be applied to work in narrow places such as the corners of corridors and the gaps in flower beds, resulting in a decrease in the cleaning adaptability to the complex environment in the town.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a photovoltaic panel is attached to the outer surface of the control unit.
[0017] Through the above technical means, it is possible to convert solar energy into electricity using a photovoltaic panel and charge the battery. This, combined with the rapid charging function, effectively extends the operating time of the cleaning robot base, reduces reliance on commercial power, lowers operating costs, and improves work efficiency.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the control unit integrates a central processing unit, a guide positioning module, an environmental detection module, and a wireless communication module.
[0019] Through the above technical means, the central processing unit automatically plans the optimal cleaning route based on the position information obtained from the guide positioning module and the environmental data detected by the environmental detection module. By avoiding obstacles and prioritizing the cleaning of areas where dirt is concentrated, it achieves self-adaptive work planning, improving cleaning efficiency and work safety. [Effects of the Invention]
[0020] Therefore, by employing the above-mentioned technical means, this invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0021] This invention is based on a design that combines a cleaning robot base with a cleaning robot. By enabling the cleaning robot base to automatically release and retrieve the cleaning robot, the cleaning robot can not only achieve highly efficient cleaning over a wide area but also enter and clean in narrow areas, thereby improving its ability to adapt to the complex environment of a town.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical means and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not the whole of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained based on the embodiments of the present invention without the creative contribution of those skilled in the art belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the self-adaptive cleaning robot for the public area in the town has a cleaning robot body 1. Travel wheels 10 are attached to both sides of one end of the cleaning robot body 1 and to the bottom of the other end of the cleaning robot body 1. First cleaning brushes 2 are attached to both sides of one end of the cleaning robot body 1. Second cleaning brushes 3 are attached to both sides of the lower surface of one end of the cleaning robot body 1. A control unit 9 is attached to the upper end of the cleaning robot body 1. A storage container 11 is slidably connected to the inside of one end of the cleaning robot body 1, and a cleaning robot 12 is arranged inside the storage container 11. The automatic release and recovery of the cleaning robot 12 by the cleaning robot body 1 based on the design of combining the cleaning robot body 1 with the cleaning robot 12 not only enables the cleaning robot to achieve highly efficient cleaning in a wide area, but also enables it to enter a narrow area to perform cleaning operations, thereby improving the cleaning adaptability to the complex environment in the town.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 3, a sliding groove 14 corresponding to the storage container 11 is provided inside the cleaning robot main body 1. A screw rod motor 13 is attached to one end inside the sliding groove 14. A screw rod 15 is provided at one end of the screw rod motor 13. A moving part 16 is screwed onto the outer surface of the screw rod 15. A storage container 11 is provided on one side of the moving part 16. When cleaning in a narrow place, by operating the screw rod motor 13, the screw rod 15 rotates and the storage container 11 can be moved under the action of the moving part 16. Thereby, the storage container 11 is moved out of the cleaning robot main body 1, the cleaning robot 12 is released from the inside of the storage container 1, and the narrow place is cleaned, so that the stability and adaptability are improved.
[0026] As shown in Fig. 3, a position-limiting sliding groove 17 is provided inside the storage container 11. One end of the moving part 16 is slidably connected into the position-limiting sliding groove 17. Under the action of the position-limiting sliding groove 17, it is possible to apply position limitation to the movement of the moving part 16, thereby making its movement more stable and improving the stability of the device.
[0027] As shown in Figs. 1-2, electric push rods 7 are attached to both sides of the cleaning robot main body 1. A connecting part 6 is provided at the lower end of the electric push rod 7. A mounting part 5 is provided inside the connecting part 6. A cleaning roller brush 4 is attached to the lower end of the mounting part 5. Under the action of the electric push rod 7, the height of the cleaning roller brush 4 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the cleaning intensity and adjusting it according to the cleaning height, and the adaptability is improved.
[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, a servo motor 18 is attached to the inner side of the upper end of the connecting part 6. A mounting part 5 is provided at the lower end of the servo motor 18. Under the action of the servo motor 18, in addition to adjusting the rotation angle of the cleaning roller brush 4 to adapt to various cleaning places, when it is not operating, the cleaning roller brush 4 can be stored on one side of the cleaning robot main body 1, reducing the space occupancy.
[0029] As shown in Figure 1-2, a photovoltaic panel 8 is attached to the outer surface of the control unit 9. The photovoltaic panel 8 can be used to convert solar energy into electricity and charge the battery. This, combined with the rapid charging function, effectively extends the operating time of the cleaning robot body 1, reduces reliance on commercial power, lowers operating costs, and improves work efficiency.
[0030] As shown in Figure 1-2, the control unit 9 integrates a central processing unit, a guide positioning module, an environmental detection module, and a wireless communication module. Based on the position information obtained from the guide positioning module and the environmental data detected by the environmental detection module, the central processing unit automatically plans the optimal cleaning route, avoids obstacles, and prioritizes cleaning areas where dirt is concentrated, thereby realizing self-adaptive work planning and improving cleaning efficiency and work safety.
[0031] The operating principle of the self-adaptive cleaning robot for public areas within a town, based on this invention, is as follows:
[0032] When performing tasks, the running wheels 10 drive the cleaning robot body 1, enabling cleaning of a wide area. The first cleaning brush 12 rotates in the opposite direction to the second cleaning brush 3, collecting debris from the ground in the middle of the device to complete the cleaning. If it is difficult to clean narrow spaces, the screw rod motor 13 can be activated, causing the screw rod 15 to rotate and move the storage container 11 under the action of the moving part 16. This moves the storage container 11 outside the cleaning robot body 1, freeing the cleaning robot 12 from inside the storage container 11 to clean narrow spaces. In addition, the height of the cleaning roller brush 4 can be adjusted under the action of the electric push rod 7, making it possible to clean the surfaces of stairs and flowerbeds, thus improving adaptability. Furthermore, under the action of the servo motor 18, the rotation angle of the cleaning roller brush 4 can be adjusted to adapt to various cleaning locations, and when not in operation, the cleaning roller brush 4 can be stored on one side of the cleaning robot body 1, reducing space occupied. Combined with the intelligent control of the control unit 9, self-adaptive adjustment of cleaning mode and cleaning intensity is achieved. Each module works in cooperation, and the entire process from planning the cleaning path, avoiding obstacles, and collecting and processing waste becomes intelligent, effectively solving the problems of conventional cleaning robots such as low adaptability, poor efficiency, and short battery life, and meeting the diverse cleaning requirements of public areas in the town.
