The second outer cover 222 is rotatably coupled to the second shaft 220 and covers the second inner cover 221.

In practical applications, the second outer cover 222 is rotatably coupled to the second rotating shaft 220, and the second outer cover 222 moves axially relative to the second rotating shaft 220, so that the second outer cover 222 covers the second inner cover 221 at any time and is away from the second inner cover 221 at any time, and hairs in the cleaning robot can easily enter between the second outer cover 222 and the second inner cover 221 and can be wound on the second rotating shaft 220. In view of this, the second end of the second rotating shaft 220 has a neck portion 2200, the inner wall of the through hole 2221 of the second outer cover 222 has a protruding point 2222 slidably disposed on the second rotating neck portion 2200, when the roller brush 20 is driven to rotate, the protruding point 2222 on the inner wall of the through hole 2221 of the second outer cover 222 slides on the second rotating neck portion 2200, on one hand, the axial movement of the second outer shell 222 is limited, so that the second outer shell 222 keeps the mutually covered state with the second inner cover 221, and on the other hand, the second outer cover 222 is prevented from being rotated. In an embodiment, the protruding points 2222 are hemispherical protrusions, but not limited to this, in other embodiments, the protruding points 2222 may also be other arc-shaped protrusions, for example.
Referring to fig. 10, as shown in the figure, an accommodating space is formed between the second outer cover 222 and the second inner cover 221, and a bearing 24 coupled to the second rotating shaft 220 is disposed in the accommodating space. In an embodiment, a circular protrusion is formed on the circumferential side of the through hole 2221 of the second outer cover 222 in a direction toward the second inner cover 221, the second outer cover 222 and the second inner cover 221 are mutually covered so that the circular protrusion and the second inner cover 221 are matched to form the accommodating space, the bearing 24 is disposed in the accommodating space and is coupled to the second rotating shaft 220 so that the second outer cover 222 does not rotate along with the second rotating shaft 220 when the second rotating shaft 220 is driven to rotate, and therefore, during cleaning, entanglement such as hair is not easily wound on the second outer cover 222.
In order to prevent or reduce the entry of hair into the gap between the inner and outer covers, in an embodiment, the second inner cover 221 is formed with an annular separation groove 2212 at a side corresponding to the second outer cover 222, and the cover rim 2220 of the second outer cover 222 is located in the annular separation groove 2212. Thus, when the second rotating shaft 220 is driven to rotate, the annular separating groove 2212 shields the gap between the inner cover and the outer cover, and the entry of hairs is reduced.
In order to prevent hairs from entering the annular separation groove 2212 of the second inner cover 221 during cleaning by the cleaning robot, in practical applications, an adhesive member 25 is disposed in the annular separation groove 2212 for adhering hairs that may enter the annular separation groove 2212.

In view of the fact that the cleaning robot travels anywhere in a room and inevitably collides with obstacles such as walls, tables and chairs in the room, so that the body bumps, and the roller brush 20 inevitably shakes up and down while being close to the ground for cleaning, the second housing 222 has a shock absorbing layer (not shown) for buffering the shock of the roller brush 20 generated during the cleaning of the cleaning robot, and at the same time, provides a protective layer for the second housing 222, so as to prevent the second housing 222 from being worn due to long-term use. In an embodiment, the shock absorbing layer is formed by wrapping a material having elastic properties, such as rubber, on the outer side of the second casing 222 (i.e., the side away from the second inner cover 221) by using an encapsulation process, but not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, after the first rotating shaft group and the second rotating shaft group are detached from the roller brush, in order to prevent the situation of reverse assembly during reassembly, the first rotating shaft group, the second rotating shaft group, the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion adopt a fool-proof design. Specifically, under the condition that first hub connection portion and second hub connection portion all have the counter bore, the degree of depth of the counter bore of first hub connection portion is greater than the degree of depth of the counter bore of second hub connection portion, the length of the first pivot of first pivot group is greater than the length of the second pivot of second pivot group and suits with the degree of depth of the counter bore of first hub connection portion, the length of the second pivot of second pivot group suits with the degree of depth of the counter bore of second hub connection portion, so, the length of the first pivot of first pivot group will be greater than the degree of depth of the counter bore of second hub connection portion, and the counter bore of second hub connection portion is not enough to hold the first pivot of first pivot group, and first pivot group can't install in second hub connection portion.
The vessel 11 may be, for example, a floating system support or a fixed frame, and the casing 12 may be, for example, a roller brush cover or a fixed frame.
Taking the floating system bracket as an example, the floating system bracket may further include a fixed bracket and a floating bracket. One side of the floating bracket can be coupled to the fixed bracket through a shaft rotating structure, so that the other side of the floating bracket can float up and down relative to the fixed bracket. In addition, in the floating system support, the rear end of the floating support is provided with a dust inlet opening, the rear end of the fixed support is provided with a corresponding dust inlet opening, and the dust inlet opening of the floating support is communicated with the dust inlet opening of the fixed support through a telescopic flexible air inlet channel. The flexible air inlet channel can be in the floating support is relative when the fixed bolster floats about relative, specifically, when the floating support is relative when the fixed bolster is kept away from, the floating support with flexible air inlet channel between the fixed bolster extends, when the floating support is relative the fixed bolster is close to, the floating support with flexible air inlet channel between the fixed bolster contracts. When the cleaning robot is in a normal cleaning process, the floating support in the floating system support floats to the lowest position under the action of gravity, and a cleaning component arranged in the floating system support can cling to the ground to be cleaned no matter on the floor, a carpet or other non-smooth cleaning surfaces, so that the most efficient floor-to-floor sweeping is realized, and meanwhile, the cleaning robot has a better floor-to-floor effect on different types of cleaning surfaces, so that the sealing property of an air duct is obviously contributed. In addition, when the height of the cleaning ground is fluctuated or an obstacle exists on the cleaning ground, the interaction between the cleaning component and the obstacle can be reduced through the up-and-down floating of the floating support, so that the cleaning robot is assisted to complete obstacle crossing operation, the cleaning component can be protected, and the service life of the cleaning robot is prolonged.
It should be noted that, in general, the wider the width of the roller brush 20 in the cleaning assembly, the wider the cleaning coverage, and the wider the width of the single cleaning, the dust collecting box is used as a garbage accommodating part, which is arranged in the housing together with the driving wheel and the like, the width is limited, and in order to increase the vacuum cleaning pressure to suck the garbage into the dust collecting box, the dust inlet of the dust collecting box cannot be wide, therefore, the section from the brush cleaning cavity opening of the cleaning assembly in the floating bracket to the dust inlet opening of the floating bracket is reduced.
The roller brush cover is detachably covered on the bottom of the floating system bracket or the fixed frame. When the roller brush cover covers the floating system bracket or the fixed frame, a roller brush chamber capable of accommodating the cleaning assembly is formed between the roller brush cover and the floating system bracket or the fixed frame, and the roller brush of the cleaning assembly is limited in the roller brush chamber. The roller brush cover is provided with an opening which corresponds to the roller brush and can expose the brush body and the rubber brush body in the roller brush. In some embodiments, a scraping strip is provided on the rear edge of the opening of the roller brush cover (i.e., the scraping strip is located behind the roller brush along the cleaning robot), and the scraping strip and the roller brush are kept at a certain interval (e.g., 1 mm to 3 mm), and by being attached to the cleaning floor, a small part of the garbage which is not directly rolled up by the roller brush can be intercepted and scooped up, so that the garbage can be rolled up under the sweeping action of the roller brush and the suction of the fan. The position and angle of the scraping strip are selected so that the garbage is always in the optimal cleaning and suction position, and the phenomenon that the garbage is left behind the rubber strip is avoided. In practical application, the scraping strip can be made of a soft rubber material and is detachably arranged on the roller brush cover.
The edge brush assembly 15 is disposed at the edge of the bottom of the chassis 100. in some embodiments, the edge brush assembly 15 may include a cleaning edge brush and an edge brush motor for controlling the cleaning edge brush. In the embodiment shown in fig. 12, the number of the cleaning side brushes may be at least one, and the cleaning side brushes may be disposed at opposite sides of the front portion of the robot body (if the number of the cleaning side brushes may be at least two, the at least two cleaning side brushes are symmetrically disposed at opposite sides of the front end of the robot body, respectively), and the cleaning side brushes may be rotary cleaning side brushes, and may rotate under the control of the side brush motor. In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the rotary cleaning edge brush is at an angle relative to the ground (which may be set parallel to the floor of the chassis of the robot body), for example, the angle may ensure that the outer bristles of the cleaning edge brush are lower than the inner bristles, so that the outer bristles are closer to the ground, which is more advantageous for sweeping debris and the like into the rolling brush area.
The dust collection system is disposed within the housing for collecting dust collected by the cleaning system during cleaning operations. In an embodiment, the dust collection system comprises a dust collection box, a dust suction fan and a corresponding air duct structure.
In an embodiment, the dust bin is mountable in a receiving space of the chassis, which receiving space opens in a central area of the chassis, the size of the receiving space being customizable in accordance with the dust bin to be mounted. The dust container may be mounted in said receiving space in a conventional manner, such as a spring latch or directly placed. In some embodiments, the dust bin is provided with a handle or gripping structure (e.g., grooves, bumps, etc.) to facilitate gripping. The handle can adopt a pull-type handle or a turnover-type handle.
The dust collecting box at least comprises a dust collecting cavity, a dust inlet and an air outlet which are communicated with the dust collecting cavity, and a filter element or a similar filter screen structure is arranged at the air outlet of the dust collecting box, wherein the filter element or the similar filter screen structure is detachably designed and can be repeatedly used, for example, cleaned by a brush or washed by water. The dust inlet of the dust collection box is provided with a sealing strip or a sealing ring and corresponds to the dust inlet opening of the fixed bracket in the floating system bracket, so that the dust inlet of the dust collection box is communicated with the floating bracket through the air inlet channel between the fixed bracket and the floating bracket. The air outlet of the dust collecting box is provided with a sealing strip or a sealing ring.
In addition, the dust collecting box is designed to be openable, in some embodiments, the dust collecting box can be divided into a box body and a box cover, the box body is provided with a dust collecting cavity, the air outlet and a filter element or similar filter screen structure at the air outlet are arranged on the box body, the box cover is provided with a dust inlet, and the box cover can be coupled to the box body in a shaft manner such as a rotating shaft and can be covered on the box body in a manner such as a buckle.
The dust collection fan is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet of the dust collection fan is communicated with the air outlet of the dust collection box through a connecting channel, and the air outlet of the dust collection fan is communicated with an exhaust channel. Therefore, the air duct structure described in the present application can at least include the dust inlet opening of the floating support and the flexible air inlet channel between the dust inlet openings of the fixed support, the connecting channel between the dust collecting box and the dust collecting fan, and the air exhaust channel communicated with the air outlet of the dust collecting fan. The exhaust duct may be secured to the chassis 100 by mounting structures, which in some embodiments may be, for example, screw locks or the like.
In practical application, a fan motor in the dust collection fan drives a fan to rotate so that airflow doped with garbage enters a dust collection box through a dust inlet, the garbage in the airflow is filtered by a filter element or a similar filter screen structure and then is stored in the dust collection box, the filtered airflow enters the dust collection fan from an air outlet through a connecting channel, and then is exhausted out of the cleaning robot from the air outlet of the dust collection fan through an exhaust channel, most of the airflow flows in the main channel in the exhaust channel, but in an area where the exhaust channel turns or the airflow is turbulent, part of the airflow can be dissipated into a side auxiliary channel through an exhaust guide element, flows in the auxiliary channel and then flows back to the main channel through the exhaust guide element to be converged, and the airflow is well divided and guided. The air exhaust channel formed on the whole is long, noise elimination is facilitated, air flow is finally exhausted out of the cleaning robot, the cleaning robot can form a relatively sealed space, and dust is not prone to entering the cleaning robot. In addition, the air outlet of the air exhaust channel is of an outward expansion structure which is gradually enlarged, so that air exhaust is facilitated, and meanwhile, the effect of reducing wind noise can be achieved.
As mentioned above, the air outlet of the dust collecting box is provided with a filter element or similar filter screen structure for filtering air, so as to prevent the dust in the dust collecting box from escaping and damaging the dust collecting fan at the back, and to prevent the blockage of the filter element or similar filter screen structure from affecting the smooth air passage, the sectional area of the air outlet of the dust collecting box is usually larger, and the air inlet of the dust collecting fan is far smaller than the air outlet of the dust collecting box, therefore, the cross section of the connecting channel which is communicated with the air outlet of the dust collecting box and the air inlet of the dust collecting fan is also reduced, so that the air coming out from the filter element or similar filter screen structure of the dust collecting box enters the dust collecting fan in a certain direction with the least loss.
In order to detect whether the dust collecting box is located in the accommodating space, the dust collecting system can be also provided with a dust collecting box location detecting mechanism. In some embodiments, the dust box falling position detecting mechanism may include a hall sensor and a magnet, wherein the hall sensor is disposed on the robot body, for example, on a mounting structure adjacent to the accommodating space in the chassis 100, and the hall sensor is connected to the control system on the chassis 100, and the magnet is disposed on a side or bottom of the dust box or on the filter element or similar filter screen structure. The magnet is arranged on the filter element or the similar filter screen structure, and the filter element or the similar filter screen structure cannot be missed after the dust collection box is placed in the accommodating space, so that the risk that the garbage in the dust collection box enters the fan to cause damage is avoided when the filter element or the similar filter screen structure is missed. In practical application, when the dust collection box is placed in the accommodating space, when the magnet on the dust collection box corresponds to the hall sensor at the accommodating space, the hall sensor outputs a pulse signal because the magnet changes under the action of a magnetic field and cuts magnetic lines of force, so as to determine that the dust collection box is placed in place and correctly placed in the accommodating space, when the magnet on the dust collection box does not correspond to the hall sensor at the accommodating space, the hall sensor does not output the pulse signal, and the control system outputs an alarm signal because the control system does not receive the corresponding pulse signal, so as to remind a user that the dust collection box is not placed in place (or the filter element or a similar filter screen structure is not placed in place).
