[0043] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning device, which can be a robot vacuum cleaner, a robot mop, a handheld robot vacuum cleaner, a handheld robot mop, etc. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present disclosure will be exemplarily described below with the cleaning device 10 as a robot mop, which can include a device body 11, a cleaning module 12, a driving module 13, a sensing module 14, a control module 15, an energy module 16, and a human-computer interaction module 17, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the device body 11 is configured to move automatically along a target direction on a travel surface, which can be a surface to be cleaned by the cleaning device 10. The cleaning device 10 can be a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, and the cleaning device 10 works on a ground surface, which is the aforementioned travel surface.

[0045] To more clearly describe the behavior of the cleaning device 10, the following directional definitions are made: the cleaning device 10 can travel on the ground surface by various combinations of movements relative to the following three mutually perpendicular axes defined by the device body 11: a front-rear axis X, a lateral axis Y, and a central vertical axis Z. The forward driving direction along the front-rear axis X is denoted as "forward", and the rearward driving direction along the front-rear axis X is denoted as "rearward". The cleaning device 10 can rotate about the Y axis. When the forward portion of the cleaning device 10 is tilted upward and the rearward portion is tilted downward, it is "pitched upward", and when the forward portion of the cleaning device 10 is tilted downward and the rearward portion is tilted upward, it is "pitched downward". In addition, the cleaning device 10 can rotate about the Z axis. In the forward direction of the cleaning device 10, when the cleaning device 10 is tilted to the right side of the axis, it is "turned right", and when the cleaning device 10 is tilted to the left side of the Y axis, it is "turned left".

[0046] In some embodiments, the driving module 13 includes a driving wheel assembly 131, and the driving module 13 can simultaneously control the left and right wheels. In order to more accurately control the movement of the machine, it is preferred that the driving module 13 includes a left driving wheel assembly and a right driving wheel assembly, respectively. The left and right driving wheel assemblies are symmetrically arranged along the lateral axis Y defined by the device body 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to enable the automatic cleaning device 10 to move more stably on the ground surface or have stronger movement ability, the automatic cleaning device 10 can include one or more steering wheels 132; the steering wheel 132 can be a driven wheel or a driving wheel, and its structural form includes but is not limited to a universal wheel, and the steering wheel 132 can be located in front of the driving wheel assembly 131. A driving motor provides power for the driving wheel assembly 131 and / or the steering wheel 132.

[0048] In some embodiments, the perception module 14 includes a position determining device located above the device body 11, a bumper located at the front part of the device body 11, a cliff sensor and an ultrasonic sensor located at the bottom of the device body 11, an infrared sensor, a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an odometer, and the like, to provide various position information and motion state information of the device body 11 to the control module 15. For example, the front part of the device body 11 is provided with a bumper, and when the driving wheel assembly propels the cleaning device 10 to walk on the ground during the cleaning process, the bumper detects one or more events (or objects) in the travel path of the cleaning device 10 via a sensor module, such as an infrared sensor, and the cleaning device 10 can control the driving structure to respond to the event (or object), such as climbing over a step, by the event (or object) detected by the bumper, such as a step, an obstacle, a wall.

[0049] In some embodiments, the control module 15 can comprehensively judge the current working state of the robot vacuum cleaner, such as climbing a step, passing a threshold, being on a carpet, being stuck at a cliff, being lifted up or down, being full of dust, being picked up, and the like, based on the distance information and speed information fed back by the bumper, the cliff sensor and the ultrasonic sensor, the infrared sensor, the magnetometer, the accelerometer, the gyroscope, the odometer, and the like, and can give specific next action strategies for different situations, so that the work of the cleaning device 10 is more in line with the requirements of the owner and has better user experience. Further, the control module 15 can plan the most efficient and reasonable cleaning path and cleaning method based on the real-time map information drawn by SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device 10.

[0050] In some embodiments, the energy module 16 includes a rechargeable battery, such as a nickel-hydrogen battery and a lithium battery. The rechargeable battery can be connected with a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit, and a battery undervoltage monitoring circuit, and the charging control circuit, the battery pack charging temperature detection circuit, and the battery undervoltage monitoring circuit are connected with a single-chip microcomputer control circuit. The host machine is connected with a charging pile through a charging electrode arranged on the side or the bottom of the machine body for charging.

[0051] In some embodiments, the human-computer interaction module 17 includes keys on the host panel, which are used for the user to select functions; can also include a display screen and / or an indicator light and / or a loudspeaker, which show the current state of the machine or the function selection items to the user; and can also include a mobile phone client program. For path navigation type cleaning devices, the mobile phone client can show the user a map of the environment where the device is located, and the position of the machine, and can provide more rich and personalized function items to the user.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 12 can include a dry cleaning module, or a dry and wet cleaning module. As shown in FIG. 2, the wet cleaning module includes a cleaning head 121, a water tank, etc., and the dry cleaning module can include a rolling brush assembly 123, an edge brush 124, etc.

[0053] When the cleaning device 10 cleans different surfaces to be cleaned, for example, cleans the floor, at this time, the dry cleaning module and the wet cleaning module can work at the same time, that is, the rolling brush assembly 123 and the edge brush 124 can be used to clean the dirt, hair, etc. on the floor; then the cleaning head 121 located at the rear is used to mop the surface of the floor; for example, when cleaning the carpet, only the dry cleaning module is used to clean the carpet; at this time, in order to avoid the cleaning head 121 of the wet cleaning module from contacting the carpet, the cleaning head 121 can be retracted by the driving assembly to increase the distance between the cleaning head 121 and the surface to be cleaned, so as to avoid the cleaning head 121 from contacting the carpet; in addition, when the cleaning device 10 overcomes the obstacle, the cleaning head 121 can also be retracted by the driving assembly to increase the distance between the cleaning head 121 and the surface to be cleaned, so as to improve the obstacle overcoming ability of the cleaning device 10.

[0054] However, when the cleaning head 121 is retracted by the driving assembly, the cleaning head 121 is easily accidentally rubbed by external objects during the movement of the cleaning device 10, and the cleaning head 121 is easily rubbed after being rubbed, which can cause the driving assembly to malfunction.

[0055] To this end, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning device 10, as shown in FIGS. 3-6, which includes a housing and a cleaning module, the cleaning module including a cleaning head 121 and a driving assembly 122, the driving assembly 122 being configured to drive the cleaning head 121 to move towards the side close to the housing to be located at a first position, or to move away from the side of the housing to be located at a second position.

[0056] Among them, the cleaning head 121 is provided with a damping piece 18, or the housing is provided with a damping piece 18, or the cleaning head 121 and the housing are both provided with a damping piece 18. When the cleaning head 121 is located at the first position, the damping piece 18 is connected with one of the cleaning head 121 and the housing, and abuts against the other one of the cleaning head 121 and the housing.

[0057] The cleaning device 10 provided by the present disclosure, the driving assembly 122 can drive the cleaning head 121 to move towards the side close to the shell to be located at the first position, or move towards the side away from the shell to be located at the second position, that is, the cleaning head 121 can be located at the lifted standby position or lowered to the working position; since the damping member 18 is arranged between the cleaning head 121 and the shell, when the cleaning head 121 is located at the lifted standby position, the damping member 18 is connected with one of the cleaning head 121 and the shell and abuts against the other one of the cleaning head 121 and the shell, and the rotational friction damping between the cleaning head 121 and the shell is formed through the damping member 18, so that when the cleaning head 121 contacts with external objects, the cleaning head 121 can be effectively prevented from being accidentally rubbed and turned by the external objects, and the reliability of the cleaning module is improved.

[0058] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 10 comprises an upper shell 111 and a lower shell 112, the upper shell 111 and the lower shell 112 cooperatively form the outer contour of the device body 11; the upper shell 111 and the lower shell 112 cooperatively form a containing space, the driving assembly 122 can be assembled in the containing space, and the cleaning head 121 is located at the bottom of the cleaning device 10, that is, at the bottom of the lower shell 112; the driving assembly 122 and the cleaning head 121 are located at two sides of the lower shell 112, and the driving assembly 122 is connected with the cleaning head 121 through the through hole on the lower shell 112 to drive the cleaning head 121 to move towards the side close to the lower shell 112 to be located at the first position, or move towards the side away from the lower shell 112 to be located at the second position.

[0059] The driving assembly 122 can also drive the cleaning head 121 to rotate to effectively clean the surface to be cleaned by high-speed rotation.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cleaning head 121 comprises a bottom plate 1211 and a cleaning member 1212, and the damping member 18 is arranged on the bottom plate 1211.

[0061] The cleaning member 1212 can be a mop or a brush head to mop or brush the surface to be cleaned.

[0062] The cleaning member 1212 is detachably connected with the mop, for example, when the cleaning member 1212 is a mop, the mop can be cleaned or replaced through detachable connection, so that the maintenance convenience and economy of the cleaning device 10 are improved.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the damping member 18 is arranged on the cleaning head 121 in a ring shape around the rotation shaft of the cleaning head 121, that is, the damping member 18 is arranged on the bottom plate 1211. By arranging the damping member 18 in a ring shape around the rotation shaft of the cleaning head 121, that is, forming the friction damping between the cleaning head 121 and the lower shell 112 in the circumferential direction of the cleaning head 121, the friction damping is effectively improved, and the cleaning head 121 is further prevented from being accidentally rubbed and turned by external objects.

[0064] In some embodiments, the damping member 18 can be one or more, and the plurality of damping members 18 can be arranged on the cleaning head 121 in a sleeved manner to further improve the frictional damping between the cleaning head 121 and the lower shell 112.

[0065] In other embodiments, the damping member 18 can also not be annular, for example, in the form of an arc with a notch, or in the form of a block structure; the shapes of the plurality of damping members 18 can be the same or different, and the plurality of damping members 18 can be arranged at any position on the surface of the cleaning head 121 facing the bottom shell, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the damping member 18 is arranged on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211 along the radial direction of the cleaning head 121. By arranging the damping member 18 on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211, a frictional damping is formed between the edge portion 12110 of the cleaning head 121 and the lower shell 112, and the frictional damping torque on the cleaning head 121 is increased, so that the cleaning head 121 can resist larger wiping forces from the outside, thereby further avoiding accidental wiping of the cleaning head 121 by external objects.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the damping member 18 is sleeved on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211 along the circumferential direction of the cleaning head 121. By sleeving the damping member 18 on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211 along the circumferential direction of the cleaning head 121, the assembly of the damping member 18 on the bottom plate 1211 is facilitated, and at the same time, the frictional damping torque on the cleaning head 121 is increased, and the cleaning head 121 can resist larger wiping forces from the outside.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 10, a groove 181 is provided on the damping member 18, and when the damping member 18 is sleeved on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211 along the circumferential direction of the cleaning head 121, the edge portion 12110 is located in the groove 181, forming a positioning connection between the damping member 18 and the bottom plate 1211, and improving the assembly precision and connection stability of the damping member 18 and the bottom plate 1211.

[0069] In some embodiments, the damping member 18 can be a rubber member. By using a rubber member as the damping member 18, the rubber member can provide better frictional damping when in contact with the shell or the bottom plate 1211. At the same time, the rubber member has good elastic properties, and the edge damping member 18 is fixed on the bottom plate 1211 or the lower shell 112 in a sleeved manner. In addition, the rubber member has a long service life and high corrosion resistance, improving the reliability of the damping member 18. Of course, the damping member 18 can also be other metal materials or non-metal materials, which can provide better frictional damping when in contact with the shell or the bottom plate 1211, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0070] In some embodiments, the surface of the damping member 18 abutting against the lower shell 112 or the bottom plate 1211 can be provided as a friction surface, or provided with a friction structure, to increase the frictional damping that can be generated by the surface of the damping member 18 abutting against the lower shell 112 or the bottom plate 1211, so that the cleaning head 121 can counteract a larger wiping force from the outside.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the damping member 18 is provided with a buffer structure 182 on the side thereof facing the periphery of the cleaning head 121 in the radial direction. By providing the buffer structure 182, when the damping member 18 is arranged on the edge portion 12110 of the bottom plate 1211 in the circumferential direction of the cleaning head 121, when an external object collides with the cleaning head 121 during movement of the cleaning device 10, the external object will first contact the buffer structure 182 on the damping member 18, thereby protecting the cleaning head 121 through the buffer structure 182, and preventing the cleaning head 121 from being damaged by hard contact with the external object.

[0072] The buffer structure 182 includes a hollow structure. The hollow structure has good deformation ability, and thus can provide good buffering effect. At the same time, the hollow structure can relatively reduce the weight of the damping member 18, thereby reducing the power required to drive the cleaning head 121 to rotate, and thus relatively improving the endurance of the cleaning device 10.

[0073] The buffer structure 182 and the damping member 18 can be an integrally formed structure, to improve the stability of the buffer structure 182. For example, the buffer structure 182 can be formed by designing a mold to form an integrally formed structure through one-shot injection molding or compression molding when forming the damping member 18. Of course, the buffer structure 182 and the damping member 18 can also be a split structure, for example, connected together by adhesion, welding, hot melt connection, clamping, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the damping member 18 is arranged on the bottom plate 1211, the damping member 18 and the cleaning head 121 are an integrally formed structure. For example, a hard structure member can be used to form the overall frame of the bottom plate 1211, and then a soft glue injection molding method can be used to form the bottom plate 1211 and the damping member 18. A double-mold injection molding process can be used to form the hard structure of the bottom plate 1211 and the soft damping member 18. When the damping member 18 is arranged on the lower shell 112, a double-mold injection molding process can be used to form the hard structure of the lower shell 112 and the soft damping member 18.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the damping member 18 is arranged on the bottom plate 1211, the damping member 18 is detachably connected with the bottom plate 1211, for example, the damping member 18 is clamped or bonded with the cleaning head 121; when the damping member 18 is arranged on the lower shell 112, the damping member 18 is detachably connected with the lower shell 112, for example, the damping member 18 is clamped or bonded with the lower shell 112.

[0076] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 10 can be provided with one or more sets of the above-mentioned cleaning module 12, for example, two sets, and the two sets of cleaning modules 12 can be arranged adjacent to each other to increase the size of the area that can be cleaned by the cleaning device 10 at the same time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. The number of cleaning modules 12 is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0077] The cleaning device provided by the present disclosure can drive the cleaning head to move towards the side close to the shell to be located at the first position, or move towards the side away from the shell to be located at the second position, i.e., the cleaning head can be located at the raised standby position or lowered to the working position. Since the damping member is arranged between the cleaning head and the shell, when the cleaning head is located at the raised standby position, the damping member is connected with one of the cleaning head and the shell and abuts against the other one of the cleaning head and the shell, and the rotational friction damping between the cleaning head and the shell is formed through the damping member, thereby effectively avoiding accidental wiping and turning of the cleaning head by external objects when the cleaning head contacts the external objects, and improving the reliability of the cleaning module.

[0078] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a cleaning system, as shown in FIG. 11, which includes the base station 20 and the cleaning device 10 provided by the above-mentioned embodiments. The base station 20 is used to park the cleaning device 10, and the cleaning device 10 can perform functions such as charging, self-cleaning, parking, sewage discharge, and water replenishment on the base station 20. The beneficial effects of the cleaning system provided by the present disclosure are described in detail in the above-mentioned cleaning device embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0079] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon considering the description herein, with the disclosure intended to be purely exemplary in nature. The present application is intended to cover any and all variations which come within the scope of the overall concept thereof and which fall within the purview of the ordinary skilled in the art to which the application pertains.
