The transverse axis Y is substantially the direction along the width of the robotic cleaning device, with the direction of the arrow along the transverse axis Y being denoted as "left" and the direction opposite the arrow along the transverse axis Y being denoted as "right". The vertical axis Z is in a direction extending upwardly from the floor of the robotic cleaning device. As shown in fig. 1, a direction along the front-rear axis X is defined as a second direction, which is, for example, a forward direction or a backward direction; the direction perpendicular to the second direction in the horizontal plane is a first direction, and the first direction is, for example, a left direction or a right direction.
A control system (not shown in the figure) is disposed on a circuit board in the mobile platform 1000, and includes a non-transitory memory, such as a hard disk, a flash memory, a random access memory, a communication computing processor, such as a central processing unit, an application processor, and an application processor, where the application processor is configured to receive the sensed environmental information of the plurality of sensors transmitted from the sensing system, draw an instant map of the environment where the automatic cleaning device is located according to the obstacle information fed back by the position determining device by using a positioning algorithm, such as SLAM, and autonomously determine a driving path according to the environmental information and the environmental map, and then control the driving system 3000 to perform operations such as forward, backward, and/or steering according to the autonomously determined driving path.

As shown in fig. 2, the cleaning module 5000 includes a dust box, a blower, and a main brush module. The main brush module cleans the garbage on the ground in front of a dust collection opening between the main brush module and the dust box, and then the dust box is sucked by the suction gas generated by the fan and passing through the dust box. The dust removal capability of the sweeper can be characterized by the sweeping efficiency DPU (Dust pickup efficiency) of the garbage, the sweeping efficiency DPU is influenced by the wind power utilization rate of an air duct formed by a dust collection opening, a dust box, a fan, an air outlet and connecting parts among the dust collection opening, the dust box, the fan and the air outlet, and the wind power utilization rate of the air duct is influenced by the type and the power of the fan, so that the sweeper is a complex system design problem. The improvement in dust removal capability is of greater significance for energy-limited cleaning automatic cleaning equipment than for conventional plug-in cleaners. Because the dust removal capability is improved, the energy requirement is directly and effectively reduced, that is to say, the original machine which can clean the ground of 80 square meters after charging once can be evolved into the machine which can clean the ground of 180 square meters or more after charging once. And the service life of the battery with reduced charging times can be greatly prolonged, so that the frequency of replacing the battery by a user can be reduced. More intuitively and importantly, the improvement of dust removal capability is the most obvious and important user experience, and users can directly draw a conclusion on whether the dust is cleaned/rubbed clean.

That is, two of the second protruding structures 3113 are arranged alternately, that is, when one of the second protruding structures 3113 is cut off from one end in the width direction of the first tread 3111 to the center in the width direction of the first tread 3111 (or is cut off less than the center or is cut off beyond the center but less than the other end in the width direction of the first tread), the other adjacent second protruding structure 3113 is cut off from the other end in the width direction of the first tread 3111 to the center in the width direction of the first tread 3111 (or is cut off less than the center or is cut off beyond the other end in the width direction of the first tread); in this embodiment, at least one first protruding structure 3112, for example 1, 2 or 3, extends transversely between two adjacent second protruding structures 3113. On the one hand, the staggered second raised structures 3113 enable the two ends of the first tread 3111 in the width direction to be symmetrically provided with the second raised structures 3113, so that the running stability of the tire is guaranteed, and meanwhile, the staggered second raised structures 3113 enable the first tread 3111 in the width direction to be symmetrically provided with the second grooves 3115, so that obstacle surmounting capability of the cleaning device is improved; on the other hand, at least one first protruding structure 3112 is transversely penetrated between two adjacent second protruding structures 3113, so that the tire tread is in sufficient contact with the ground, and the cleaning device can walk more stably, but the number of the first protruding structures 3112 cannot be too many, for example, more than 3, so that the first protruding structures lack the second protruding structures before and after each other, and the obstacle surmounting capability of the tire is reduced.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second raised structures 3113 have a second length equal to or greater than half the first length, and optionally, the second raised structures 3113 have a second length equal to half the first length, and a second raised structure 3113 that is too long results in a second groove 3115 that is too short in the tread width direction, reducing the ability to catch obstacles when surmounting the obstacle, and a second raised structure 3113 that is too short, e.g., less than half the first length, such that two adjacent second raised structures cannot be misaligned within the second tread, such that the second groove 3115 is too long in the tread width direction, affecting stability when the cleaning apparatus is traveling.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3-5, the first tread 3111 further includes a first groove 3114, the first groove 3114 being formed between the first raised structure 3112 and the second raised structure 3113; the first tread 3111 further comprises a second recess 3115, the second recess 3115 being formed at least at one end of the second raised structure 3113, or the second recess 3115 being formed between two adjacent first raised structures; wherein the width of the second groove 3115 is greater than the width of the first groove 3114. The first groove 3114 is a gap between the first protruding structure 3112 and the second protruding structure 3113, and has a narrow width, which is used to provide enough redundancy when the first protruding structure 3112 and the second protruding structure 3113 are deformed by extrusion, and is convenient for removing attachments on the tread during running, and can guide liquid residues attached to the tread out of the tread. A second groove 3115 is formed at one or both ends of the second protrusion 3113, the second groove 3115 is formed at one end of the second protrusion 3113 when the second protrusion 3113 starts from the first tread end, the second groove 3115 is formed at both ends of the second protrusion 3113 when the second protrusion 3113 starts from within the tread width direction of the first tread, and the width of the second groove is approximately equal to the sum of the width of the second protrusion and the width of the first groove, the second groove has a sufficient width to help promote obstacle surmounting ability of the cleaning apparatus.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4-5, the sidewall of the first groove 3114 is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, for example, in a substantially V-shaped configuration. It will be appreciated that the side walls of the first groove 3114 are formed by the side surfaces of the first protruding structure 3112 and the second protruding structure 3113, and the side walls of the first groove 3114 are inclined at a predetermined angle to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, that is, the side walls of the first protruding structure 3112 and the second protruding structure 3113 adjacent to each other are inclined at a predetermined angle to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, and since the holes, such as blind holes, are formed below the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure, the inclined design of the side surfaces of the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure and the tread can deform the tire in the radial direction in cooperation with the blind holes, thereby reducing the noise and making the running smoother.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4-5, the sidewall of the second groove 3115 is substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111. It will be appreciated that the sidewalls of the second groove 3115 are formed by the sides of the adjacent two first raised structures 3112, the sidewalls of the second groove 3115 being substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, i.e. the opposite sidewalls of the adjacent two second raised structures 3113 being substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, the sidewalls of the second groove 3115 being designed to provide sufficient support in the radial direction for the tire without being easily deformed and collapsed upon contact with an obstacle to provide sufficient obstacle surmounting support; when not crossing the barrier, first protruding structure also laminates with ground, makes the tire provide enough holding power in radial, can not make first protruding structure warp easily and collapse to provide enough barrier holding power that crosses, make the walking more steady.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4-5, the tire 3110 further includes at least one second tread 3116 disposed substantially perpendicular to the first tread 3111, the second tread 3116 including, for example, both sides of the tire 3110, the at least one second tread 3116 including: a plurality of blind holes extending in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 3130 of the tire 3110, i.e., extending from at least one of both side surfaces of the tire 3110 in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 3130 of the tire 3110 toward the other side surface. The blind hole, i.e., a hole that is open at one end and closed at one end, is a hole that is open from the outer surface of the second tread 3116, extends in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 3130 of the tire 3110, but is not open. The arrangement of the blind holes can increase the elasticity of the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure when being in contact with the ground, reduce tire noise, reduce vibration of the machine body caused by uneven ground, improve the adhesive force of the tire and enable the cleaning equipment to walk more stably.
In some embodiments, the plurality of blind holes comprises: a first blind hole 3117 extending from both ends of the first protruding structure 3112 toward the middle of the first protruding structure 3112, the first blind hole 3117 having a first blind hole wall; a second blind hole 3118 extending from an end face of the second protruding structure 3113 located outside the first tread width in a direction parallel to the rotation axis 3130 of the tire 3110, the second blind hole 3118 having a second blind hole wall. In some embodiments, the first blind hole wall is located approximately at the middle position in the width direction of the first tread 3111, so that the blind holes on two sides are symmetrical, and the fuselage is smoother. In some embodiments, the first blind hole wall is offset with respect to a middle position in the first tread width direction, i.e. near one end of the first projection arrangement. The first blind hole wall is offset, so that the reinforcement of the tire tread structure can be strengthened, and tangential deformation collapse is not easy to occur when the tire is subjected to ground friction force.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the first blind hole 3117 forms an extension 31171 adjacent to a side wall of the first raised structure 3112 that is substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, and the extension 31171 extends substantially from the location of the opening of the first blind hole 3117 to the first blind hole wall. Since the extension portion 31171 corresponds to the sidewall of the first protruding structure 3112 that is substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111, when the obstacle surmounting is performed, the sidewall of the first protruding structure 3112 that is substantially perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the first tread 3111 is pressed against the extension portion 31171, so that the first protruding structure has a certain toughness, and the obstacle surmounting is smoother.
In some embodiments, the width of the second blind bore 3118 on a side proximal to the axis of rotation 3130 is greater than the width on a side distal from the axis of rotation 3130. The width of the bottom end of the second blind hole 3118 is greater than the width of the top end, as shown in fig. 5, the circumferential cross section of the second blind hole 3118 is a trapezoid or an irregular trapezoid, and when the tire contacts the ground, the tire can be deformed in the direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction, so that the tire maintains a certain elasticity, and the cleaning device can walk more stably.
According to the tire provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the first bulge structures with the length approximately equal to the width of the tread of the tire and the second bulge structures with the length smaller than that of the first bulge structures are arranged, and at least one first bulge structure and at least one second bulge structure are alternately arranged, so that the tire table surface has the short bulge structures staggered left and right and the long bulge structures traversing the width of the whole tread, and the large grooves formed by the short bulge structures are alternately arranged, so that the obstacle crossing capacity of the cleaning device is improved, the long bulge structures enable the tire tread to be in full transverse contact with the ground, and the cleaning device can walk more stably.
