Description

侧刷和机器人吸尘器
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于机器人吸尘器(例如，机器人真空吸尘器)的侧刷。本发明另外涉及一种机器人吸尘器，例如，机器人真空吸尘器。
背景
机器人真空吸尘器形成设有驱动装置的自推进单元，该驱动装置包括被配置成沿着待清洁表面控制机器人真空吸尘器的移动的控制系统。控制系统可以包括提供输入以帮助控制机器人真空吸尘器的移动的一个或多个传感器。机器人真空吸尘器的吸力产生单元被安排成与面朝待清洁表面的吸嘴入口的开口流体连通。被吸入或以其他方式被推进入开口的灰尘和碎屑被引导至机器人真空吸尘器的碎屑容器。当灰尘和碎屑被装满至一定程度时，碎屑容器被清空或被更换。
被配置成沿待清洁表面行进的机器人吸尘器(例如，机器人真空吸尘器)可以设有所谓的侧刷。侧刷可以围绕基本上竖直的轴线旋转并且包括从旋转轴线向外延伸的刷毛。侧刷可以将从机器人吸尘器的旁边和/或机器人吸尘器的侧部到机器人吸尘器下面的灰尘和碎屑清扫，以用于进一步输送到机器人吸尘器内部的碎屑容器中。侧刷可以被安排成伸进在机器人吸尘器下面的细长刷辊和/或在机器人吸尘器中产生的吸力所没有到达的狭窄角落和裂隙。
侧刷包括多根刷毛。当侧刷旋转并且机器人吸尘器朝向例如呈地毯边缘或缆线的形式的障碍物行进时，这些刷毛中的一根或多根可能突入障碍物下面。如果机器人吸尘器继续朝向障碍物行进，则该一根或多根刷毛可能绊在障碍物下面。该一根或多根刷毛可能折叠，并且侧刷可能与障碍物纠缠。在最坏的情况下，可能会阻止机器人吸尘器继续沿待清洁表面行进，或者机器人吸尘器可能会拖曳障碍物与其一起沿地板行进，从而导致潜在的家具损坏，因为机器人吸尘器可能是难以控制的。
已知的是，提供具有少量刷毛和/或长刷毛的侧刷来减少这种问题。然而，这两种解决方案通过侧刷提供了不良的清洁结果。减少这种问题的另一种途径是提供成束的刷毛，每束都借助于捆绑各束刷毛的管状部分来与侧刷的中心部分连接。也就是说，这些刷毛没有直接从中心部分自由延伸、而是代替地在距中心部分一段距离处从管状部分自由延伸。由于这些刷毛将被捆绑在围绕侧刷稀薄分布的不同束中，因此这种解决方案同样提供不良的清洁结果。
发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种替代性的侧刷，在相关的机器人吸尘器朝向障碍物行进时，该侧刷不容易纠缠在障碍物下面。
根据本发明的一个方面，该目的是通过一种用于机器人吸尘器的侧刷来实现的，该侧刷可以在旋转方向上围绕旋转轴线旋转并且包括刷体和多根线性刷毛，该多根线性刷毛包括第一刷毛，该第一刷毛具有在刷体处的基座端以及相反的远端。该多根刷毛从该刷体自由地延伸至其相应的远端。该旋转轴线居中地延伸穿过该刷体，并且假想线垂直于该旋转轴线延伸。该第一刷毛被安排成使其基座端在该假想线上距离该旋转轴线一段距离处、在刷毛方向上从该刷体向外延伸。以顶视图、沿该旋转轴线来看，该刷毛方向与该假想线成第一角度延伸，其中该远端相对于该旋转方向向后指向。以侧视图、沿该假想线来看，该刷毛方向与该旋转轴线成第二锐角延伸、背离该刷体指向。
由于该侧刷的第一刷毛指向相对于该侧刷的旋转方向的向后方向以及在侧刷使用过程中的向下方向，如果该第一刷毛的远端被推到障碍物(如地毯或缆线)下面，则第一刷毛的最靠近刷体的基座端将是成角度的以使得侧刷一旦进一步旋转，第一刷毛就将向上偏置越过障碍物。相应地，第一根刷毛将不与障碍物纠缠。结果是，实现了上述目的。而且，在其所有的多根刷毛以与第一刷毛相同的方式来安排的侧刷中，与在具有从刷体径向延伸的刷毛的侧刷中相比，该多根刷毛可以被安排得更加密集，同时仍阻止侧刷与障碍物纠缠。
在此，线性刷毛指的是在无负载状态下(即，当刷的刷毛没有抵靠任何待清洁表面时)是笔直的刷毛。当被安装在机器人吸尘器中时，刷毛将抵靠待清洁表面。适当地，当刷毛抵靠待清洁表面时，其将弯曲到一定程度。因此，刷毛将被偏置具有朝向待清洁表面的力。垂直于旋转轴线延伸的假想线可能需要的是，当在机器人吸尘器中使用该侧刷时，该假想线基本上水平地延伸。刷体形成侧刷的中心部分。刷体可以包括被配置成用于与相关机器人吸尘器的旋转轴相连接的接口。侧刷可以可移除地紧固到机器人吸尘器上。
这些刷毛可以被安排成多个离散的刷毛束。在这样的实施例中，在侧刷的刷毛之间的最大距离可以是在第一刷毛束中的一根刷毛与相邻刷毛束的另一根刷毛之间。替代性地，这些刷毛可以沿圆形方向围绕刷体安排成一条或多条连续的线。在这样的实施例中，所有的刷毛甚至可以绕刷体一周地被安排成一根刷毛抵靠至少一根另外的刷毛。
根据多个实施例，该多根刷毛可以与第一刷毛类似地围绕刷体安排。以此方式，侧刷的这多根刷毛可以向后并向下延伸以在未负载状态下形成基本上截头锥形的刷毛边沿。
根据本发明的另一个方面，上述目的是通过一种机器人吸尘器来实现的。该机器人吸尘器包括壳体、被配置成沿着待清洁表面驱动该机器人吸尘器的驱动装置、被安排在该壳体内部的碎屑容器、在该壳体中面向该待清洁表面的吸嘴入口、以及包括被配置成抵靠该待清洁表面的多根刷毛的侧刷。该侧刷可以围绕基本上竖直的旋转轴线旋转。该侧刷是根据在此讨论的任何方面和/或实施例的侧刷。
该机器人吸尘器可以是自推进单元。该机器人吸尘器可以是机器人真空吸尘器，该机器人真空吸尘器包括吸力产生单元。该侧刷可以将从机器人吸尘器的旁边和/或机器人吸尘器的侧部到机器人吸尘器下面的灰尘和碎屑朝向吸嘴入口清扫或清扫进入吸嘴入口，以用于进一步输送到机器人吸尘器内部的碎屑容器中。该侧刷可以被安排成伸进机器人吸尘器下面的细长刷辊和/或在机器人吸尘器中产生的吸力所没有到达的狭窄角落和裂隙。
根据多个实施例，该侧刷可以被安排在该壳体的外围部分处，该外围部分面对该待清洁表面。以此方式，该侧刷可以侧向地至少到达该壳体的外周边以朝该壳体中的吸嘴入口推进灰尘和碎屑。
根据多个实施例，该壳体可以包括在该外围部分中或在该外围部分处的底表面。该底表面可以设有凹陷。该侧刷的刷体可以被安排在该凹陷中一定深度处，使得该第一刷毛的基座端被定位在该凹陷内，并且在该机器人吸尘器的使用过程中，该基座端被安排在该底表面之上。以此方式，如果该第一根刷毛应该在障碍物(如地毯或缆线)下面滑动，则该障碍物可以仅顺沿第一刷毛到达壳体的底表面而可以不到达第一刷毛的基座端。因此，阻止了障碍物与侧刷的刷毛纠缠。自然地，该侧刷可以被安排在该凹陷中使得该侧刷的所有的多根刷毛的基座端被定位在该凹陷内。
根据多个实施例，该多根刷毛可以在机器人吸尘器的使用过程中具有弯曲形状。该弯曲形状可以是由于最初笔直的刷毛抵靠待清洁表面引起的。
在学习所附权利要求书和以下详细说明时，本发明的另外特征和优点将变得清楚。

详细说明
现在将更加全面地描述本发明的各个方面。贯穿全文，相同的数字指代相同的元件。为简洁和/或清晰起见，众所周知的功能或构造将不必进行详细描述。
图1a至图1c示意性地展示了根据多个实施例的侧刷2的各种视图。侧刷2被配置成用于与机器人吸尘器(如机器人真空吸尘器)一起使用。侧刷2可以在(用箭头表明的)旋转方向6上围绕旋转轴线4旋转。侧刷2包括刷体8和多根线性刷毛10，这些线性刷毛包括第一刷毛12。旋转轴线4居中地延伸穿过刷体8。该多根线性刷毛10中的每一者具有在刷体8处的基座端以及远端。该多根刷毛10从刷体8自由延伸至其相应的远端，对应于第一刷毛12的远端。在图1a至图1c中，侧刷2展示为处于无负载状态，即，当侧刷2被处理为单独部分并且其没有被安装在相关的机器人吸尘器中时。
图2a至图2c示意性地展示了在图1a至图1c中所示的侧刷2的刷体8和第一刷毛12。为了清晰起见，已经省去了其余的刷毛。第一刷毛12具有在刷体8处的基座端14以及相反的远端16。参见图2a、图2b，假想线18垂直于旋转轴线4延伸。参见图2b，第一刷毛12被安排成使其基座端14在假想线18上距离旋转轴线4一段距离处。第一刷毛12在刷毛方向20上从刷体8向外延伸。以图2b的顶视图(即，沿着旋转轴线4)来看，刷毛方向20与假想线18成第一角度α延伸，其中远端16相对于旋转方向6向后指向。以图2c的侧视图、沿假想线18来看，刷毛方向20与旋转轴线4成第二锐角β延伸。因此，第一刷毛12背离刷体8指向。相应地，在旋转方向6上来看，基座端14在远端16前面行进。
返回至图1a至图1c，该多根刷毛10的每一者与第一刷毛12类似地围绕刷体8安排。取决于刷毛到刷体8的附接装置，每根刷毛的第一角度α和第二锐角β可以变化几度。然而，侧刷2的所有的多根刷毛从刷体向后并向下延伸，从而在旋转方向6上来看，当侧刷2在旋转方向6上旋转时，该多根刷毛10的相应的基座端在该多根刷毛10的相应的远端前面行进。
在这些实施例中，第一角度α约为50度。根据多个替代性实施例，第一角度α可以在距假想线18的30度至90度的范围内。根据多个优选实施例，第一角度α可以在45度至90度的范围内。
在这些实施例中，第二锐角β约为40度。根据多个替代性实施例，第二锐角β可以在距旋转轴线41度至85度的范围内。根据多个优选实施例，第二锐角β可以在30度至75度的范围内。
该多根刷毛10中的每一者可以具有在0.05mm至0.3mm范围内、优选地在0.1mm至0.2mm范围内的直径。
该多根刷毛10中的每一者可以具有在15mm至200mm范围内、优选地在40mm至70mm范围内的长度。
该多根刷毛10可以包括由天然纤维(例如，马鬃)制成的刷毛、和/或由合成材料(例如，聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)或尼龙)制成的刷毛。
侧刷2的直径可以在40mm至200mm的范围内、优选地在80mm至160mm的范围内。该直径是无负载侧刷2的直径，如图1a至图1c所示。
根据多个实施例，侧刷2可以具有至少3个刷毛/度的平均刷毛密度，其中在该多根刷毛10中的至少两者之间的最大距离为30度。以此方式，可以提供密集的侧刷2，这给予了彻底的清洁结果。由于以上所讨论的第一角度α和第二锐角β，即使侧刷2具有这样密集安排的刷毛，也可以避免物体的纠缠。
在这些实施例中，该多根刷毛10被安排成围绕刷毛体8的八个刷毛束24。根据多个替代性实施例，该多根刷毛10可以被安排成围绕刷体8的至少八个刷毛束24。
在具有被安排成多个刷毛束的刷毛的侧刷中，在局部上，刷毛的密度可以显著高于以上讨论的3个刷毛/度。然而，在整个圆周上的平均刷毛密度可以适当地是至少3个刷毛/度。
根据多个实施例，该至少八个刷毛束24中的每一束可以包括至少150根刷毛。以此方式，可以获得上述平均刷毛密度。
根据多个实施例，刷体8可以基本上是圆形的，其直径在15mm至70mm的范围内、优选地在20mm至50mm的范围内。
图3a至图3c展示了处于负载状态(即，如当侧刷2被安装在机器人吸尘器中并且抵靠待清洁表面22时)的图1a至图1c的侧刷2的各种视图。当该多根刷毛中的至少一些刷毛抵靠待清洁表面22时，该多根刷毛10适配为弯曲形状。因此，该多根刷毛10将被偏置具有朝向待清洁表面22的力。该偏置力尤其取决于在待清洁表面22之上的相关机器人吸尘器的壳体中的刷体8的高度、该多根刷毛10的长度、以及该多根刷毛10的硬度。
图4a和图4b展示了根据多个实施例的机器人吸尘器30的顶视图和底视图。机器人吸尘器30包括壳体32、被配置成沿着待清洁表面驱动机器人吸尘器30的驱动装置34、被安排在壳体32内部的碎屑容器36、在壳体32中面向待清洁表面的吸嘴入口38、以及根据在此披露的任何方面和/或实施例的侧刷2。
机器人吸尘器30是自推进单元。驱动装置34包括四个轮子，其中至少一个轮子由安排在壳体32内部的电动驱动马达直接或间接驱动。驱动装置34进一步包括控制系统，该控制系统被配置成控制电动驱动马达在待清洁表面周围移动机器人吸尘器30。该控制系统可以包括提供输入的一个或多个传感器以帮助控制机器人吸尘器30的移动。该至少一个传感器可以属于一个或多个不同的种类，如红外传感器、激光传感器、超声波传感器或接触传感器。
吸嘴入口38与碎屑容器36连通，使得灰尘和碎屑可以从吸嘴入口38输送到碎屑容器36中。被安排在壳体内部吸嘴入口38处、并且具有基本上平行于待清洁表面延伸的旋转轴线的旋转刷辊40可以帮助将灰尘和碎屑推进到碎屑容器36中。侧刷2被配置成朝吸嘴入口38输送灰尘和碎屑。侧刷2和刷辊40可以由一个或多个电动刷子马达来驱动。除了控制驱动马达之外，该控制系统还可以控制该一个或多个刷子马达。
碎屑容器36可以是可移除的以便清空。碎屑容器36可以包括一次性袋子，灰尘和碎屑被收集到该一次性袋子内。
机器人吸尘器30是机器人真空吸尘器，该机器人真空吸尘器包括吸力产生单元。该吸力产生单元可以包括由电动风扇马达驱动的风扇。该控制系统还可以控制该风扇马达。吸嘴入口38被安排成经由碎屑管道系统与碎屑容器流体连通。吸力产生单元被安排成经由碎屑管道系统、并且还任选地经由碎屑容器36与吸嘴入口38流体连通，即，在一些实施例中，真空产生单元可以产生从吸嘴入口38经由碎屑管道系统至碎屑容器36的吸力。机器人吸尘器30包括一个或多个可再充电电池，这些可再充电电池被配置成为包括控制系统以及不同电动马达的驱动装置34提供动力。
侧刷2被安排在壳体32的外围部分39处，该外围部分39面对待清洁表面。在这些实施例中，以图4a的顶视图来看，该多根刷毛10延伸超出壳体32。在多个替代性实施例中，该多根刷毛以顶视图来看可以不到达超出壳体，而是可以仅延伸至壳体的边缘。
图5展示了移除了侧刷的图4a和图4b的机器人吸尘器30的底视图。用于侧刷的驱动轴42从壳体32突出。
图6展示了机器人吸尘器30沿图4a的线VI-VI的截面图。示意性地展示了抵靠待清洁表面22的侧刷2的第一刷毛12和另一根刷毛。为了清晰起见，已经省去了其余的刷毛。由于这些刷毛中的至少一些刷毛抵靠待清洁表面22，所以在机器人吸尘器30的使用过程中，这些刷毛在该机器人吸尘器沿待清洁表面22行进时具有弯曲形状。
侧刷2可以通过电动刷子马达44围绕其基本上竖直延伸的旋转轴线4旋转。刷子马达44连接至包括驱动轴42的传动装置46。侧刷2连接至驱动轴42。
适当地，侧刷2的刷体8包括被配置成用于与驱动轴42连接的接口。该接口例如可以包括用于接纳驱动轴42的末端的开口。如果驱动轴42由磁性材料制成，则可以在刷体8中安排磁体构件48，以确保侧刷2可移除地紧固到驱动轴42和机器人吸尘器30上。因此，侧刷2可以容易地移除以用于清洁或者容易更换。
根据多个实施例，壳体32包括在外围部分39中或在该外围部分处的底表面50。该底表面50设有凹陷52。驱动轴42延伸到凹陷52中，同样参见图5。侧刷2的刷体8被安排在凹陷52中、附接至驱动轴42、在一定深度处，使得第一刷毛12的基座端14被定位在凹陷52内。
在机器人吸尘器30的使用过程中，基座端14被安排在底表面50之上，即，与底表面50相比在待清洁表面22之上更高。相应地，如果第一刷毛12应该在障碍物(如地毯或缆线)下面滑动，则该障碍物可以仅顺沿第一刷毛12向上到达底表面50而可以不到达第一根刷毛12的基座端14。在底表面50处，当侧刷2旋转时，障碍物从第一刷毛12滑脱。相应地，障碍物将不与侧刷2纠缠。同样，侧刷8的所有未示出的刷毛的基座端被定位在凹陷52内。
机器人吸尘器30的在底表面50中包括上面所讨论的凹陷52的多个实施例与以上所讨论的相比而言可以阻止障碍物与不同类型的侧刷纠缠。例如，同样，在包括具有多根刷毛的侧刷、并且其中这些刷毛的基座端被安排在凹陷52内的机器人吸尘器中，当侧刷旋转时，障碍物可以在该障碍物到达底表面50时从侧刷滑脱。
因此，根据另一方面，提供了一种机器人吸尘器30，该机器人吸尘器包括壳体32、被配置成沿着待清洁表面22驱动机器人吸尘器30的驱动装置34、被安排在壳体32内部的碎屑容器36、在壳体32中并且面向待清洁表面22的吸嘴入口38、以及侧刷2。该侧刷2包括刷体8，包括第一刷毛12的多根刷毛10附接到该刷体上。该多根刷毛10中的至少一些刷毛被配置成抵靠待清洁表面22。侧刷2可以围绕基本上竖直的旋转轴线4旋转。壳体32包括底表面50。该底表面50设有凹陷52。侧刷2的刷体8被安排在凹陷52中一定深度处，使得第一根刷毛12的基座端14被定位在凹陷52内，并且在机器人吸尘器30的使用过程中，基座端14被安排在底表面50之上。
尤其是涉及图4a、图4b、图5和图6的以上说明同样适用于此另一方面。因此，相同的说明和相同的参考号适用于此另一方面。
本发明不应被解释为局制于在此阐述的这些实施例。本领域技术人员将认识到，可以在不脱离所附权利要求书限定的本发明的范围的情况下将本文披露的实施例的不同特征进行组合以创造本文所描述之外的实施例。尽管已经参照多个示例实施例描述了本发明，但许多不同的改变、修改等等对于本领域技术人员将变得清楚。例如，驱动装置可以替代性地包括三个轮子或多于四个轮子。机器人真空吸尘器可以仅依靠吸力来收集灰尘和碎屑，即，在一些实施例中，可以省去细长的刷辊。因此，应当理解的是，前述内容是对不同示例实施例的说明并且本发明仅由所附权利要求书限定。
在此使用的术语“包括(comprising)”或“包括(comprises)”是开放式的并且包括一个或多个所述的特征、元件、步骤、部件或功能，而并不排除一个或多个其他的特征、元件、步骤、部件、功能或其群组的存在或添加。
