In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that the technical solutions can be realized by those skilled in the art, and when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the scope of protection claimed by the present application.

[0045] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] The present application provides a cleaning robot 10, which can be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, a window cleaning robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, or other robots with cleaning capability, etc., without limitation. The cleaning robot 10 is suitable for being accommodated in a base station 20, which can be used for cleaning or charging the cleaning robot 10, etc.

[0047] For example, the cleaning robot 10 can be a mopping robot, and the base station 20 is used for accommodating the cleaning robot 10. In actual use, the cleaning robot 10 can be taken out of the base station 20 to move to the ground surface to be cleaned, so as to realize cleaning of the ground surface. The cleaning robot 10 can move into the base station 20 to realize accommodation of the cleaning robot 10 by the base station 20, so as to facilitate charging, cleaning, etc. of the cleaning robot 10 by the base station 20.

[0048] Please refer to FIGS. 1-4, the cleaning robot 10 comprises a robot body 101 and a cleaning element 11, the cleaning element 11 is connected with the robot body 101, and the cleaning element 11 is provided with a first magnetic matching part 12 (as shown in FIG. 4) for magnetic attraction matching with a cleaning part 22 of the base station 20.

[0049] It can be understood that the robot body 101 can be fixedly connected with the cleaning element 11, or the robot body 101 can be detachably connected with the cleaning element 11, without limitation. The first magnetic matching part 12 can be used for magnetic attraction matching with the cleaning part 22 of the base station 20, i.e. the first magnetic matching part 12 can be a structure with magnetism, or the first magnetic matching part 12 can be other structures attracted by a magnet. For example, the first magnetic matching part 12 can be any one of a permanent magnet, an electromagnet or a temporary magnet, or a ferromagnetic substance, without limitation.

[0050] In some use scenarios, for example, the cleaning robot 10 has the functions of self-detaching and self-attaching, etc. The self-detaching means that the cleaning robot 10 can realize separation of the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11 under the control of mechanical parts, and the self-attaching means that the cleaning robot 10 can realize assembly of the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11 under the control of mechanical parts.

[0051] At this time, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning member 22 can guide the separated cleaning element 11 to the position where the cleaning element 11 is accurately matched with the cleaning member 22, thereby improving the self-disassembly success rate of the cleaning robot 10, and further, when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be installed with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be installed with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, thereby facilitating the self-installation success rate of the cleaning robot 10.

[0052] In some implementations, the first magnetic fitting 12 can be fixedly installed on the cleaning element 11 to enhance the connection stability of the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning element 11, thereby avoiding the disconnection of the first magnetic fitting 12 from the cleaning element 11.

[0053] In some implementations, the first magnetic fitting 12 can be fixedly installed on the cleaning element 11 to enhance the connection stability of the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning element 11, thereby avoiding the disconnection of the first magnetic fitting 12 from the cleaning element 11.

[0054] According to the cleaning robot 10 of the embodiments of the present application, the first magnetic fitting 12 is arranged on the cleaning element 11, so that the cleaning element 11 can be stably matched with the cleaning member 22 of the base station 20 through magnetic attraction, thereby facilitating the matching precision of the cleaning element 11 and the cleaning member 22, and further reducing the cleaning difficulty of the cleaning member 22 to the cleaning element 11, and the magnetic attraction is relatively simple, which is conducive to reducing the setting cost.

[0055] At the same time, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning member 22 can guide the separated cleaning element 11 to the position where the cleaning element 11 is accurately matched with the cleaning member 22, thereby improving the self-disassembly success rate of the cleaning robot 10, and further, when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be installed with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be installed with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, thereby facilitating the self-installation success rate of the cleaning robot 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the cleaning element 11 is provided with a first installation slot 110, and the first magnetic fitting 12 is arranged in the first installation slot 110. In this way, the first magnetic fitting 12 can be installed in the first installation slot 110 to enhance the structural stability of the first magnetic fitting 12.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the first mounting slot 110 is closed towards one side of the cleaning surface 111 of the cleaning element 11.

[0058] It can be understood that the cleaning surface 111 refers to the side of the cleaning element 11 that is in contact with the ground when mopping. Thus, by setting the first mounting slot 110 to be closed towards one side of the cleaning surface 111 of the cleaning element 11, it is possible to prevent dust or debris on the ground from entering the first mounting slot 110.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first magnetic fitting 12 is any one or a combination of the following: a ring-shaped piece, a polygonal piece, a cylindrical piece, or an irregularly shaped piece, for example, the first magnetic fitting 12 is configured as a ring-shaped piece. Thus, by configuring the first magnetic fitting 12 as a ring-shaped piece, the magnetic attraction area of the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning piece 22 is increased, thereby enhancing the magnetic attraction stability.

[0060] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral contour of the first magnetic fitting 12 is adapted to the outer peripheral contour of the cleaning element 11, so as to increase the magnetic attraction area of the first magnetic fitting 12 and the cleaning piece 22 in the circumferential direction of the cleaning element 11, thereby enhancing the magnetic attraction stability.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the cleaning element 11 includes a mop plate 11a rotatable about a first axis L1, and at least part of the first magnetic fitting 12 (as shown in FIG. 4) is arranged around the first axis L1. Thus, it is possible to avoid interference caused by the arrangement of the first magnetic fitting 12 to the arrangement of the first axis L1.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1-3, the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11 are connected through a disassembly assembly 13, and the disassembly assembly 13 is used to separate the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101. Referring to FIG. 4, the first magnetic fitting 12 is configured to be magnetically attracted to the cleaning piece 22 when the cleaning element 11 is separated from the robot body 101.

[0063] Thus, by setting the disassembly assembly 13, it is convenient to realize the self-disassembly of the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11, and the first magnetic fitting 12 can be magnetically attracted to the cleaning piece 22 when the cleaning element 11 is separated from the robot body 101, so that the cleaning element 11 can accurately fall into the position matched with the cleaning piece 22, thereby improving the success rate of self-disassembly of the cleaning robot 10, and further, when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be installed with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be installed with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, which is convenient to improve the success rate of self-installation of the cleaning robot 10.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Fig. 4, at least part of the first magnetic matching member 12 is arranged at a central region of the cleaning element 11. Thus, when the first magnetic matching member 12 is magnetically attracted to the cleaning member 22, the cleaning element 11 can be guided by the magnetic attraction at the central region of the cleaning element 11, so that the cleaning element 11 can be more accurately positioned at the position of magnetic attraction with the cleaning member 22.

[0065] It can be understood that the central region of the cleaning element 11 refers to a region close to the geometric center of the cleaning element 11, for example, when the cleaning element 11 is circular, the central region of the cleaning element 11 is a region close to the center of the circle, or when the cleaning element 11 is square, the central region of the cleaning element 11 is a region close to the centroid of the square. In some embodiments, the cleaning element 11 can also be triangular or irregularly shaped, which is not limited herein.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first magnetic matching member 12 comprises a ferromagnetic substance. It can be understood that the ferromagnetic substance can be attracted by a magnetic substance, but the ferromagnetic substance itself does not have magnetism, for example, the ferromagnetic substance can be iron, nickel, cobalt or some alloys, etc.

[0067] In this way, when the cleaning robot 10 cleans the ground, since the first magnetic matching member 12 itself does not have magnetism, it will not attract metal such as iron filings / iron nails on the ground, thereby avoiding scratching the floor.

[0068] Based on the same technical concept, the present application also provides a base station 20.

[0069] Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, the base station 20 comprises a base station body 21 and a cleaning member 22.

[0070] The base station body 21 is adapted to accommodate the cleaning robot 10 of any of the above embodiments, the cleaning member 22 is connected to the base station body 21, the cleaning member 22 is used to clean the cleaning element 11, and the cleaning member 22 is provided with a second magnetic matching member 23 for magnetic attraction of the cleaning element 11.

[0071] It can be understood that the second magnetic matching member 23 can be a structure with magnetism, or the second magnetic matching member 23 can be other structures that are attracted by a magnet. For example, the second magnetic matching member 23 can be any one of a permanent magnet, an electromagnet or a temporary magnet, or a ferromagnetic substance, which is not limited herein.

[0072] In some use scenarios, for example, when the cleaning robot 10 needs to be stored in the base station 20 for cleaning, after the cleaning robot 10 moves to the base station 20, the cleaning element 11 can be stably matched with the cleaning piece 22 through the magnetic attraction matching of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning element 11, so as to improve the matching precision of the cleaning element 11 and the cleaning piece 22, and in turn reduce the cleaning difficulty of the cleaning piece 22 to the cleaning element 11, and the magnetic attraction matching method is relatively simple, which is beneficial to reducing the setting cost.

[0073] In some use scenarios, for example, when the cleaning robot 10 has the functions of self-disassembly and self-assembly, the self-disassembly refers to that the cleaning robot 10 can realize the separation of the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11 under the control of the mechanical part, and the self-assembly refers to that the cleaning robot 10 can realize the assembly of the robot body 101 and the cleaning element 11 under the control of the mechanical part.

[0074] At this time, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction matching of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning element 11 can guide the separated cleaning element 11, so that the cleaning element 11 can accurately fall in the position matched with the cleaning piece 22, thereby improving the success rate of self-disassembly of the cleaning robot 10, and in turn, when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be assembled with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be assembled with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, which is beneficial to improving the success rate of self-assembly of the cleaning robot 10.

[0075] In some implementations, the second magnetic matching piece 23 can be fixedly installed on the cleaning piece 22, so as to enhance the connection stability of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning piece 22, thereby avoiding the disconnection of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning piece 22.

[0076] In some implementations, the second magnetic matching piece 23 can be fixedly installed on the cleaning piece 22, so as to enhance the connection stability of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning piece 22, thereby avoiding the disconnection of the second magnetic matching piece 23 and the cleaning piece 22.

[0077] According to the base station 20 of the embodiment of the present application, the second magnetic matching piece 23 is arranged on the cleaning piece 22, so that the cleaning piece 22 can be stably matched with the base station 20 through the magnetic attraction matching, thereby improving the matching precision of the cleaning element 11 and the cleaning piece 22, and in turn reducing the cleaning difficulty of the cleaning piece 22 to the cleaning element 11, and the magnetic attraction matching method is relatively simple, which is beneficial to reducing the setting cost.

[0078] Meanwhile, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic matching part 23 and the cleaning element 11 can guide the separated cleaning element 11 to the position where the cleaning element 11 is matched with the cleaning part 22, so as to improve the success rate of self-disassembly of the cleaning robot 10, and then when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be matched with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be matched with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, so as to improve the success rate of self-assembly of the cleaning robot 10.

[0079] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the cleaning part 22 is provided with a second installation groove 220, and the second magnetic matching part 23 is arranged in the second installation groove 220. In this way, the second magnetic matching part 23 can be installed in the second installation groove 220, so as to improve the structural stability of the second magnetic matching part 23.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the first surface 221 of the cleaning part 22 is used to clean the cleaning element 11, and the second installation groove 220 is arranged on the second surface 222 of the cleaning part 22, and the second surface 222 and the first surface 221 are different sides of the cleaning part 22.

[0081] In this way, by arranging the second installation groove 220 on the side different from the first surface 221 of the cleaning part 22 used to clean the cleaning element 11, the space on the first surface 221 can be avoided, and the second magnetic matching part 23 can be avoided from being directly magnetically attracted to the first magnetic matching part 12, so as to avoid the influence on the self-assembly of the cleaning robot 10 caused by the excessive magnetic attraction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first surface 221 and the second surface 222 can be two adjacent sides, or the first surface 221 and the second surface 222 can be two oppositely arranged sides, which are not limited herein.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the second installation groove 220 is open towards the direction away from the first surface 221.

[0084] In this way, the second magnetic matching part 23 can be installed and dismounted on the side where the second installation groove 220 is open, so as to reduce the difficulty of installation and dismounting of the second magnetic matching part 23, and the second installation groove 220 is open towards the direction away from the first surface 221, so as to avoid the second magnetic matching part 23 from being directly magnetically attracted to the first magnetic matching part 12, thereby avoiding the influence on the self-assembly of the cleaning robot 10 caused by the excessive magnetic attraction.

[0085] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the cleaning member 22 comprises cleaning ribs 22a distributed around the second axis L2, and at least part of the second magnetic cooperation member 23 is arranged around the second axis L2. In this way, the arrangement of the second magnetic cooperation member 23 can avoid interfering with the cleaning ribs 22a.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second magnetic cooperation member 23 is in the form of one or more of a ring, a polygon, a column, or an irregular shape. For example, referring to FIG. 7, the second magnetic cooperation member 23 is in the form of a ring.

[0087] In this way, by configuring the second magnetic cooperation member 23 in the form of a ring, the magnetic attraction area between the second magnetic cooperation member 23 and the cleaning element 11 is increased, and the magnetic attraction stability is enhanced.

[0088] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the second magnetic cooperation member 23 is adapted to the outer contour of the cleaning member 22, so as to increase the magnetic attraction area between the second magnetic cooperation member 23 and the cleaning element 11 in the circumferential direction of the cleaning member 22, and the magnetic attraction stability is enhanced.

[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, at least part of the second magnetic cooperation member 23 is arranged in the central region of the cleaning member 22. In this way, when the second magnetic cooperation member 23 and the cleaning element 11 are magnetically attracted and cooperated, the cleaning element 11 can be more accurately positioned at the position of magnetic attraction cooperation with the cleaning member 22 by magnetically guiding the cleaning element 11 in the central region of the cleaning member 22.

[0090] It can be understood that the central region of the cleaning member 22 mentioned above refers to a region close to the geometric center of the cleaning member 22. For example, when the cleaning member 22 is circular, the central region of the cleaning member 22 is a region close to the center of the circle, or when the cleaning member 22 is square, the central region of the cleaning member 22 is a region close to the centroid of the square. In some embodiments, the cleaning member 22 can also be triangular or irregularly shaped, which is not limited herein.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second magnetic cooperation member 23 comprises a magnetic member.

[0092] It can be understood that the magnetic member itself can have magnetism, or the magnetic member can have magnetism under energization or other ways. For example, the magnetic member can be a permanent magnet, an electromagnet, or a temporary magnet, etc. For example, the magnetic member can be a permanent magnet. In this way, even if the first magnetic cooperation member 12 on the cleaning robot 10 does not have magnetism itself, it can be magnetically attracted to the permanent magnet.

[0093] Based on the same technical concept, the embodiments of the present application also provide a cleaning system 100.

[0094] According to the cleaning system 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the cleaning robot 10 in any of the above embodiments and the base station 20 in any of the above embodiments are provided, and the first magnetic matching part 12 and the second magnetic matching part 23 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0095] It can be understood that the cleaning robot 10 can be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, a window cleaning robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, or any other robot with cleaning capability, and the like, which is not limited herein. The cleaning robot 10 is adapted to be received in the base station 20, and the base station 20 can be used to clean or charge the cleaning robot 10, and the like.

[0096] For example, the cleaning robot 10 can be a mopping robot, and the base station 20 is used to receive the cleaning robot 10. In actual use, referring to FIG. 9, the cleaning robot 10 can be moved out of the base station 20 to move to the ground surface to be cleaned, so as to clean the ground surface. In other embodiments, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the cleaning robot 10 can be moved into the base station 20, so as to be received by the base station 20, thereby facilitating the base station 20 to charge or clean the cleaning robot 10, and the like. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, when the cleaning robot 10 is received in the base station 20, the base station 20 can support the cleaning robot 10.

[0097] In some use scenarios, for example, the cleaning robot 10 has the functions of self-disassembly and self-assembly, the self-disassembly refers to that the cleaning robot 10 can be separated from the cleaning element 11 under the control of the mechanical part, and the self-assembly refers to that the cleaning robot 10 can be assembled with the cleaning element 11 under the control of the mechanical part.

[0098] At this time, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic matching part 12 and the second magnetic matching part 23 can guide the separated cleaning element 11, so that the cleaning element 11 can accurately fall into the position matched with the cleaning part 22, thereby improving the success rate of self-disassembly of the cleaning robot 10, and when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be assembled with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be assembled with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, thereby facilitating to improve the success rate of self-assembly of the cleaning robot 10.

[0099] According to the cleaning system 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning element 11 of the cleaning robot 10 is provided with the first magnetic matching part 12, and the cleaning part 22 of the base station 20 is provided with the second magnetic matching part 23, so that the cleaning part 22 can be stably matched with the cleaning part 22 of the base station 20 through the magnetic attraction matching, thereby improving the matching precision of the cleaning part 22 and the cleaning element 11, and further reducing the cleaning difficulty of the cleaning part 22 to the cleaning element 11, and the magnetic attraction matching is relatively simple, and is beneficial to reducing the setting cost.

[0100] Meanwhile, when the cleaning robot 10 enters the base station 20 and separates the cleaning element 11 from the robot body 101, the magnetic attraction matching of the first magnetic matching part 12 and the second magnetic matching part 23 can guide the separated cleaning element 11, so that the cleaning element 11 can accurately fall in the position matched with the cleaning part 22, thereby improving the self-disassembly success rate of the cleaning robot 10, and further when the robot body 101 enters the base station 20 to be installed with the cleaning element 11, the robot body 101 can be installed with the cleaning element 11 at the same position, so as to improve the self-installation success rate of the cleaning robot 10.

[0101] In some embodiments, the cleaning element 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 112, and the cleaning part 22 is provided with a positioning groove 201, and the positioning protrusion 112 is positioned and matched with the positioning groove 201. In this way, the positioning and matching of the cleaning part 22 and the cleaning element 11 can be realized through the positioning and matching of the positioning protrusion 112 and the positioning groove 201.

[0102] In some embodiments, the projection of the positioning protrusion 112 on the horizontal plane falls within the projection of the first magnetic matching part 12 on the horizontal plane, and the projection of the outer peripheral wall of the positioning groove 201 on the horizontal plane falls within the projection of the second magnetic matching part 23 on the horizontal plane.

[0103] In this way, the setting position of the first magnetic matching part 12 and the positioning protrusion 112 do not overlap in the height direction, and the setting position of the second magnetic matching part 23 and the positioning groove 201 do not overlap in the height direction. In this way, the positioning and matching of the positioning protrusion 112 and the positioning groove 201 do not interfere with the magnetic attraction matching of the first magnetic matching part 12 and the second magnetic matching part 23, so as to further improve the stability of the positioning and matching of the cleaning part 22 and the cleaning element 11 through the magnetic attraction matching of the first magnetic matching part 12 and the second magnetic matching part 23 when the cleaning part 22 and the cleaning element 11 are positioned and matched.
