regain from described bottom part more or less as the case may be.Confirmed already that particularly advantageous a kind of design was, wherein said loading and unloading ramp additionally or optionally moves with respect to described brush in addition.Can stipulate that also described loading and unloading ramp is seen along moving direction and is located at described brush back, enters in the described dust-storing container by described loading and unloading ramp so the inverse move direction is swept the dust granule that falls backward.That has mentioned can reach like this along the loading and unloading ramp structure that direction of bowl is dodged, that is, this loading and unloading ramp is made of multi-part, and its telescopic or laminated type ground is pushed to together along direction of bowl, or contrary direction of bowl for example by the elasticity support pull out.Can advise also that in this respect described loading and unloading ramp can prove already that the rotation and the brush dead in line of loading and unloading ramp was particularly advantageous around a rotation deflection.Therefore load and unload ramp and in its front area, on the track of a regulation, guide, avoided thus conflicting with brush.Also preferred in this respect, described loading and unloading ramp is dodged with can overcoming elastic force.Here, the elasticity of described loading and unloading ramp can integrated design in loading and unloading ramp face, and preferred expansion design recommendation is in any case this loading and unloading ramp is made of the ribbon element that approaches of a diaphragm type in portion's section of its elastically deformable.This ribbon element can be the thin hardware of a diaphragm type.Yet preferred, this ribbon element is a resilient plastic sheeting.The free seamed edge of garbage shovel that the ribbon element of this elastically deformable such as the flexural spring of same pretension will contact with floor to be maintained is to the direction pressurization of the brush previous dynasty.Described ribbon element preferred side in the leading edge zone is fixed on the slide, and this slide can support rotatably around described brush axis again.The free seamed edge of loading and unloading ramp is a wear-resisting metal or a plastics seamed edge preferably.When described ribbon element was made with plastic sheeting, its thickness was 0.5 to 1.5mm.When if dust arrester work the time is travelled on carpet or hard floor, then plastic tab since pretightning force be pressed on the floor with the garbage shovel seamed edge that less pressure will load and unload ramp all the time.Deeper slip into (eintauchen) for thick carpet loading and unloading ramp, so slide rotation backward more.Thrust maximum in this case.For hard floor, ramp is less slips in loading and unloading, so slide correspondingly rotates lessly backward.Thrust is less in this case.Described loading and unloading ramp is designed to, and the degree of depth that it slips into can reach 4mm, can inside not lived by towing.By an expansion design code of object of the present invention, described dust flow monitor is made up of an echelette.This echelette is installed in the dust transfer passage of guiding dust-storing container, and one predetermined from 0.5 to 2 second the time calculate grit amount in the window through grating.Measurement result can cause changing the action countermeasure of this floor-type dust collector that can move automatically.Therefore regulation is to repeat to cross the running section that this big dust flow is provided to the analysis result that detects a big dust flow.The dustiness that big dust flow is big with carving the floor area cross at this moment is relevant.By this Measurement and analysis, impel dust arrester to cross the zone that this had before cleaned once more.In addition, for for example motor of protection brush when brush blocks or transship, regulation is considered to utilize the motor current of driven brush to come analysis and assessment, and the program of travelling that changes floor-type dust collector according to motor current.Can record exceeding of motor current by monitoring voltage in simple mode.The overlond running of motor can trigger by two states.First brush is blocked fully, and it two is that brush suffers huge mechanical load.This blocks also can be when bringing up to a big value when motor current after predetermined short time brush to cut out fully gets rid of.When brush is subjected to huge mechanical load, if electric current surpassed in a scheduled time and was closed once this brush of high limiting value this moment.These two kinds of ways can both prevent electromotor overload.Because the switching current of motor is the value of overstepping the extreme limit obviously, so when motor closes a floodgate, stop monitoring.When for example on brush, having twined tassel or cable, then learn this situation by motor current, floor-type dust collector is reacted to this situation in view of the above rightly, so that remove this obstruction.This situation for example solves like this: when motor current increased to unallowed degree, described floor-type dust collector returns to be sailed.Also preferred here described brush is rotated along the direction of rotation opposite with common operative orientation, can remove tassel or the cable that is wound again thus.If when making unsuccessful and brush band like this and the cable that is wound or tassel and reclose, then this situation can be identified soon by set electronic installation, so that make in view of the above act on trying hard to keep on the brush hold as far as possible little, to prevent further chucking.To additionally monitor the switching current of motor for this reason.Owing to this reason, monitoring is divided into two parts, promptly close a floodgate monitoring and operational monitoring.Block or do not block under the both of these case at brush, described switching current is identical before the moment that reaches a regulation.Therefore at first must determine this constantly.But therefore single measured value preferably tries to achieve the summation in the period of a regulation because current fluctuation is not suitable as the basis of judgement, and this period should keep shortly as far as possible.This result is the monitoring to starting current.Regulation is at first connected described brush for this reason, after this for example waits for 45 milliseconds.Compare then with for example 2 milliseconds of scan frequency formation electric current summations, and with this result and limiting value to be scheduled to.Form the electric current summation and describedly relatively continue about 6 milliseconds.Therefore whole observation process continues about 31 milliseconds.Because the relay of a connection brush has about 10 a milliseconds on-delay and about 5 a milliseconds off delay, need 20 milliseconds approximately so in this process, connect described brush.Wherein 10 milliseconds be used to monitor during and 5 milliseconds be because the off delay of relay.Also suggestion in this respect begins to start window for the moment from the threshold value that detects motor current, this time consider the further increase of motor current is returned the trigger event of sailing as described floor-type dust collector in the window.
In addition, the present invention relates to the combination of a floor-type dust collector that can move automatically and a base station, this dust arrester comprises a motor drive, a dust-storing container and a guard shield, and described base station and dust arrester are pressed the coupling of emitter/receiver principle.In order to improve the combination of described type in an advantageous manner, advise that described base station has a dust catcher that can use separately, and described dust arrester is designed to scavenging machine.Therefore, this base station except park as the floor-type dust collector of utonomous working and the general utility functions of charging station, also have the function at the station of unstowing, this is found time to be designed to the dust-storing container of the dust arrester of scavenging machine by the dust catcher set in the base station.It is contemplated that a kind of scheme here, wherein, the dust catcher of described base station is in the preparation running status, and the dust arrester of only carrying out the cleaning task triggers a contact of putting into operation that is used for described dust catcher when docking with the base station.Confirmed already particularly advantageously to be that described dust catcher was common domestic vacuum cleaners, it is connected with the base station by the adapter of respective design where necessary, thus this dust catcher also can be used for by general mode floor or highland (
Figure 061923411_0
Berboden) purification.Described floor-type dust collector also can be in addition or is had one with it in combination and do not having to be used for directly extracting out under the situation of base station the interface of dust.For the dust arrester that guarantees utonomous working arrives the base station reliably, described base station is used for as continental embankment.More known in this respect schemes, wherein one of continental embankment emission can receive the signal of also being analyzed by described autonomous type dust arrester.In this respect, more known optics continental embankment and some the ultrasonic wave continental embankments of utilizing infrared ray, laser or visible light work.But the shortcoming of these two kinds of schemes is that the signal of described continental embankment is by barrier, as shieldings such as wall, objects.When therefore having only existence to contact, could start described base station reliably with the direct straight line of described autonomous type dust arrester.Adopt according to the present invention and a kind ofly to send electromagnetic continental embankment by means of a transmitter.Described electromagnetic wave produces by means of an oscillation circuit, and penetrates most of barriers by the electromagnetic wave of antenna emission, and thereby farthest avoids conductively-closed.This autonomous type dust arrester has nonlinear trend because be applied to the electromagnetic field line of force of autonomous type dust arrester orientation, so must be adjusted its behavior according to the shape of electromagnetic field.By means of a kind of by dynamical continental embankment and rationally and simple behavior constitute combination, even when barrier stops through path, this autonomous type dust arrester also can find the base station.For this reason, this autonomous type dust arrester has one or two reception antenna, can learn the sensing of the magnetic field line of force by means of them.Described autonomous type dust arrester is returning towards the base station with transmitter when sailing according to the field line orientation, at this moment, and dust arrester or follow field line and move or travel perpendicular to field line along the direction of peak signal, or adopt a kind of countermeasure of mixing.If the autonomous type dust arrester collides on the barrier, but the behavior countermeasure of just taking the cut-through thing of a sensor support to travel.Then continue to go to the stroke of base station.
In addition, in the combination of described one floor-type dust collector that can move automatically and a base station, in order to improve the combination of described type in an advantageous manner, suggestion is to have an indoor air cleaner that is used for the butt joint clutch of described floor-type dust collector with described base station design.The indoor air cleaner that can be connected with a dust catcher that can use separately by known a kind of this class of DE 4414871A1.Content with this patent application is absorbed in the application's the disclosure comprehensively hereby, and also for this purpose, the feature of this patent application also is absorbed in the application's the claim.Present base station is pressed the present invention and is made up with the clutch that docks of floor-type dust collector by this way,, the base station that so constitutes is used as the station of unstowing of parking the field and in addition also being used as floor-type dust collector of floor-type dust collector that is.Because by this design of the present invention, described base station can be used as indoor air cleaner work at least when floor-type dust collector is in running order.Also can imagine, this base station also keeps the behavior that purifies the air of a room in the charging process of floor-type dust collector.In addition, also can imagine a kind of combination, wherein said base station has a contact, and this contact is on the stand of extracting the foul that stores by independent dust catcher out at it by floor-type dust collector to be handled, and starts described function of purifying indoor air when being handled in the contact.Can also stipulate that in this respect this base station for example also has one or more butt joint clutches that are used for other devices as a charging station.Because this design, this base station can also be as the charging station that for example is used for hand-held battery dust catcher.
The invention still further relates to a kind of described floor-type dust collector method that can move automatically that is used to move.For method a kind of described type, that improve cleaning effect here is provided, the amount of dust corresponding to each running section is analyzed in suggestion, and crosses again and running section corresponding to big amount of dust according to a predetermined threshold value.Calculate the dust granule quantity of passing through by means of a dust flow monitor that is preferably designed for an echelette form here, this watch-dog is located in the dust transfer passage that leads to described dust-storing container.If described grating is blocked, that is the infrared beam crested, then do not have light beam to arrive described receiver and produce a signal.These individual signals through for example 0.5 to 2 second of being scheduled to, are preferably the time counting in 1 second in microprocessor.The measured event number and the limiting value of storage are relatively, when surpassing, regulate the corresponding blowdown behavior of the floor-type dust collector that can move automatically, for example preferably by repeatedly crossing described surface or also can crossing the surface of a covering of the fan (Facher) or similar pattern, to reach the dirty especially zone of cleaning satisfactorily.Purpose is to strengthen being identified as the purification dynamics on dirty especially surface.In case no longer detect big dust values by continuous measurement, then stop the blowdown behavior to adjust or the program of travelling of adjustment.
At last, in the present invention,, sails the floor-type dust collector that can move automatically for being returned, described floor-type dust collector has some collisions and/or range sensor, and the behavior of sailing for described time in addition, is carried out orientation by an electromagnetic field of being set up by the base station based on the process of programmed in advance.This behavior of travelling of the floor-type dust collector that can move automatically is different from common for crossing a behavior countermeasure of knowing the surface.For the preferred pseudorandom behavior of common behavior countermeasure.Here for each the anglec of rotation that is preferably in the zone in front in three collisions and/or the range sensor by analog computation the best.This anglec of rotation by one for example 60 ° fixed component and one for example around this fixing angle value+/-10 ° angular area value forms, and calculates angle at random in the work by the latter.Otherwise, return sail in the behavior preferred at first by floor-type dust collector substantially 360 ° rotation analyze electromagnetic field by this floor-type dust collector, then directed and according to one of two minimum of a values predetermined road section of travelling according to measured minimum of a value with adjusting direction, repeat above-mentioned steps afterwards.For this reason for example on the floor-type dust collector laterally and on the base station, longitudinally be provided with antenna, but also it is contemplated that other device.Described rotatablely move can be continuously or multi step format ground carry out.After measuring maximum and minimum of a value, store maximum by 360 ° of rotations.Judge by the range conversion with according to the orientation of one of two minimum of a values then.Travelling one for example behind 20 to 60cm the highway section, measuring again and carry out other peaked detections by 360 ° rotations.Therefore regulation also when recording the bigger maximum field strength of the maximum field strength that records in the ratio process of measurement formerly under the situation by one 360 ° of rotation duplicate measurements, is implemented along the rotation of contrary minimum of a value direction.Therefore if the maximum that at first records greater than second maximum, shows then and has selected wrong direction that as reaction, consequently the direction of untoward incidents selection is earlier rotated.If otherwise the maximum that at first records shows then that less than second maximum dust arrester is moving along correct direction.Travel and proceed.The obstacle identification of primary collision or optics causes the obstacle behavior pattern.Suggestion in this respect, run at dust arrester under the situation of a barrier, at first return and sail, rotate angle or angle at random of a selection then along the direction of rotation of a regulation, once more to overtake with repeat above-mentioned steps, contact with barrier until no longer occurring.Therefore rotate a little after removing through returning of a weak point and leave barrier, the described anglec of rotation meanwhile stores and adds up.Calculate the number of times of impact event in addition.Afterwards, dust arrester is to overtake through one predetermined, 20 to 60cm highway section for example, or drives in case of necessity with another barrier always and contact.Also regulation according to a pre-determined number that contacts with barrier, is rotated an angle at random after time sailing.If calculate (collision) number of times that contacts with barrier surpass a limiting value, or when total anglec of rotation surpasses a limiting value, when the dust arrester of utonomous working disengages barrier by rotating an angle at random through the behavior of adjustment.Also suggestion in this respect then redirects according to electromagnetic field time sailing according to a pre-determined number that contact with barrier.Regulation in addition after successfully walking around a barrier and travelling, is implemented one of opposite spin for walking around the required angular metric of this barrier.Correspondingly be rotated, will be used for the counter zero setting of angle and collision accident then along the opposite direction corresponding with total anglec of rotation.Carry out accurate adjustment according to electromagnetic field after this and continue to travel.The length and the range of described running section adapt.Therefore stipulate that near the base station, the distance of travelling that will carry out has also shortened along with more and more.More near the base station, signal is just strong more at dust arrester, and this situation is conversion mutually in shorter operating range.In addition, proved already advantageously, changed the orientation that also can during travelling, carry out according to field intensity in any case relate to a less direction.Therefore also can in to overtake, change travel direction.Carry out the repetition orientation before floor-type dust collector directly is in the base station.Can implement 180 ° rotation afterwards, carry out by means of travelling backward at last in view of the above and dock with the base station.Handle contact that a limit switch or is used for charging plug here being used for, and in case of necessity it is unstowed the dust arrester charging.Also can imagine and make dust arrester 1 forward, that is, drive on the base station along common moving direction.
Described barrier identification can be undertaken by contact, infrared switch sensor, ultrasonic sensor etc.These sensors preferably are located in the front area of described dust arrester along moving direction, can influence exercise management system thus according to right front and left front the differentiation here.Also can in the tail region of dust arrester, arrange some sensors.When bumping, need at first return in principle and sail and rotate dust arrester, and make dust arrester afterwards along a new direction running.In returning the process of sailing and rotating, preferably will disconnect by electric motor driven brush.In addition, this autonomous type dust arrester has one and follows the support wheel of sailing in the Background Region that direction can be located at dust arrester.Yet also it is contemplated that a kind of scheme, described support wheel is located in the front area, is arranged in case of necessity between the described cleaning brush.In this design, prevented a kind of uncertain four-point supporting, that is avoided driving wheel to lose the danger that contacts with the floor.Also can be implemented in upwards travelling on a slight gradient thus.

The specific embodiment
At first has the floor-type dust collector 1 that can move automatically that a chassis 2 and covers the guard shield 3 on this chassis 2 with having described shown in Fig. 1 to 3.
Especially as seen, described dust arrester 1 has a kind of circular contour shape that is different from by Fig. 1 and 2.This contour shape is made up of the shape portion section 5 of a semicircular circular segments 4 and a rectangle that links to each other with this circular segments, and wherein, described rectangular section 5 is formed in the front along the moving direction r of dust arrester 1.
Described rectangular section 5 in described contour shape especially at folding corner region 6 place's cavettos.R is seen over along moving direction, and the profile that connects the end face 7 of folding corner region 6 also is configured as the shape of convex surface.In addition, the side transition zone between described folding corner region 6 and the circular segments 4 also is concave surface ground cavetto, so here profile forms a slight waist shape retraction.
Above-mentioned contour structure not only relates to the moulding of described dust arrester bottom 8, and relates to the outer contour shape that is embedded in guard shield 3 on the described chassis 2 and that surround described bottom 8 in chassis side.
The dust arrester 1 of utonomous working is designed to scavenging machine, and establish one can be around the brush 9 of horizontal axis X rotation for this reason, and this brush is located in the zone of described rectangular section 5 in illustrated embodiment.The driving of described brush 9 realizes that by a motor 10 this motor is by batteries 11 power supplies that are contained in the rear portion circular segments 4.
In the zone of brush 9, described dust arrester bottom 8 is provided with the breach 12 of a window shape, and the bristle 13 of brush 9 stretches out from the downside of dust arrester bottom 8 by this breach 12 and is used to clear up the described floor that will maintain.Described brush 9 has the line of bristles that snake-bending shape is arranged, wherein these bristle arrangement are set as, and cleans for horizontal axis x and outside in carries out, and observe the past along moving direction r and carry out backward.
The floor dust of collecting by brush 9 is thrown in the dust-storing container 14 that is arranged on regularly on dust arrester in rear portion circular segments 4 zones on the described chassis 2.For this container 14 of unstowing, under dust arrester, establish an openable valve 15 in the zone of side bottom 8.
In addition, described dust arrester 1 has two wheels 16 that travel that partly pass described dust arrester bottom 8, and wherein each wheel 16 that travels drives by an independent motor 17, thus, make described dust arrester 1 except general straight-line travelling, can also make its rotation or turning.
The described wheel 16 that travels is set as by cloth, and their are positioned at from described rectangular section 5 in the transitional region of circular segments 4 near the seamed edge of dust arrester bottom 8.
In addition, the central authorities corresponding to the zone of described end face arris 7 in front establish a guide wheel 18, realize the three-point support of described dust arrester 1 on floor 41 thus.
For the cognitive disorders thing, some sensors 19 are set in the zone of described end face 7.Preferably arrange three sensors 19 here like this, make an intermediate sensor 19 be used to discern frontal impact, and all the other two sensors 19 in folding corner region 6 are used to discern the impact that acts on from side the place ahead on this dust arrester 1.The contact-making switch of mechanism can be adopted in this respect, but also infrared switch sensor or ultrasonic sensor can be adopted.Preferably consider to use microswitch.
Collide the guard shield 3 that causes on the barrier being set on the chassis and slightly move, this moves and can be detected by the sensor 19 that described correspondence sets.Store the exercise management system in the logical block 20 only schematically illustrate in the drawings, when barrier of identification, impel dust arrester to sail for 1 time and dust arrester 1 rotated on the new direction.Here, only sail for described time through a short distance, thus do not need backward that is with the opposite control of common moving direction r.The rotation of dust arrester 1 realizes by differently controlling the described wheel 16 that travels.Here confirmed already particularly advantageously to be, sailed and when rotating, returning for the energy-conservation described motor 10 that is used for brush 9 is closed.
In order to discern step or analog, described dust arrester 1 also is provided with some ultrasonic sensors 21, and they are located at the side of dust arrester bottom 8 window shape breach 12 in illustrated embodiment, point to the direction setting on floor 41 downwards.Here importantly, before described ultrasonic sensor 21 is positioned at the center of gravity of dust arrester 1 along moving direction r.Scan described floor 41 in the process of moving by these ultrasonic sensors 21.Can consult formerly not disclosed document accession number about the layout of ultrasonic sensor 21 and working condition is 10113105.4 German patent application.The content of this patent application is all included in the present disclosure of the invention hereby, and for this purpose, the feature of this application also is incorporated in the claim of the present invention.
In order also to clean the corner or, to be provided with two and to be respectively the cleaning brush 22 that a folding corner region 6 sets along cleanings such as skirting boards.These two cleaning brushes drivablely have that brush body 23 and three bristle tuft 24 that are contained on this brush body 23 along circumference of circular contour are formed with being equally spaced basically by one respectively.
Here the layout of cleaning brush 22 is chosen as, make brush body 23 be in described dust arrester 1 profile inside, bristle tuft 24 is then stretched out from the boundary profile by guard shield 3 regulations on the contrary, and carries to the cleaning formula floor dust along skirting board or in folding corner region thus.Also can be swept into the rubbish beyond the dust arrester profile thus, and because selected anticlockwise direction of rotation (seeing arrow d among Fig. 2), so rubbish is transported to the central authorities of dust arrester 1 along direction towards described brush 9 around horizontal axis x rotation.Because soft here bristle stretches out from the profile of dust arrester, so can not cause adverse influence to the flexibility and the mobility of dust arrester 1.
The cleaning brush 22 of supply level brush 9 is positioned on the vertical axis y.In order to reach superior cleaning, the rotation z of each cleaning brush 22 tilts towards moving direction r with respect to vertical axis y, and one 5 ° to 15 ° angle (see figure 4) for example tilts.
,, can reach and corner and seamed edge adapt (seeing Figure 4 and 5) by the crooked of bristle tuft 24 with stretch with respect to the selected this overlength degree design of dust arrester outline based on described bristle tuft 24.
The driving of described cleaning brush 22 realizes by means of described motor 10 indirectly.Such as already mentioned, this motor 10 drives described brush 9 around horizontal axis x rotation.Drive described cleaning brush 22 by this brush by driving belt 25, the transmission ratios of described here brush 9 and cleaning brush 22 is as selecting 3 to 1 to 15 to 1.
As Fig. 6 schematically illustrated, previously described brush 9 and two project organizations that are positioned at the rotary cleanings brush 22 on the vertical axis y with around horizontal axis x rotation also can be applied in a kind of dust arrester 1 that is as general as circular contour.
As already mentioned, detect the cognitive disorders thing by collision and the sensor that causes thus.Wish described guard shield 3 displacement slightly (inclination) for this reason.In order to make this guard shield 3 return to its original resting position and to remain there, this guard shield 3 flexibly is fixed on the described chassis 2.By the first kind of embodiment that illustrates previously, this spring damper of this guard shield 3 can be located at central authorities' (central spring 42) of upper area.Describe in the another kind of embodiment shown in Fig. 7 to 11 according to another kind of scheme of the present invention.As can be seen, wherein said guard shield 3 is bearing on the described chassis 2 by the spring 26 of three arranged off-centre, is equally spaced along periphery at this this three springs 26.
Described guard shield 3 has the supporting base 27 of a spring end of installation that sets for each spring 26 on inwall.Described vertically extending spring 26 is bearing on the upper side of dust arrester bottom 8 with its other end.
Therefore described guard shield 3 is bearing on the dust arrester bottom 8 by these springs 26, and wherein the backstop border vertically upward of this guard shield 3 is the radially trailing arm 28 formation (see figure 9)s by the described dust arrester of a rest of this guard shield 3 bottom 8.
Described supporting base 27 is in height arranged like this, promptly it overcomes elastic force and sinks (arrow c) and be bearing on the floor 41 with its annular edge during by Vertical loading when this guard shield 3, at this moment, the downside of described supporting base 27 still keeps with the upper side of dust arrester bottom 8 spacing being arranged.Therefore the vertical force that acts on the guard shield 3 can not imported in the described chassis 2, exactly passes to floor 41 (see figure 10)s by this guard shield 3.
The laterally offset (arrow c ') of described guard shield 3 when colliding with barrier also can realize by the structure of selected spring 26.For prevent building up and thereby repeatedly send sensor signal, can between the annular edge of described guard shield 3 and dust arrester bottom 8, establish a shock absorber 29.
The profile that the embodiment of the dust arrester 1 shown in Figure 12 to 15 has a circle.For for example guaranteeing to be adapted to surface conditions different in the transition from the hard floor to the carpet, establishing one, have can be around the shaft stool of the bottom part 30 of the brush 9 of horizontal axis x rotation, and it can be placed on the described chassis 2 pivotally around the axis v that level is pointed to.Dust arrester bottom 8 have one with the suitable breach 31 of the contour shape of bottom part 30.
Because this project organization can reach the best Height Adjustment in important area that is brush zone all the time.One one end and chassis 2 anchorings and the other end are used for this bottom part 30 is positioned at a home position by support and the back-moving spring 40 that described movable bottom part 30 is connected of described motor 10.
In addition, be provided with a loading and unloading ramp 32 as can be seen by the cutaway view among Figure 15, its garbage shovel shape ground is arranged on brush 9 back along moving direction r, and the floor dust that is used for sweeping on purpose is thrown in the dust-storing container 14.This loading and unloading ramp 32 stretches out from bottom part 30 towards the direction of brush 9, and when work with its freely the end seamed edge on the floor that will maintain, slide.
Loading and unloading ramp described 32 in height not only can with respect to bottom part 30 and also can with respect to brush in 9 the motion (arrow a) reaches the height of adjusting this loading and unloading ramp 32 independently thus, and in addition, this loading and unloading ramp 32 is to have sealed described dust-storing container 14 forward.
It can also be seen that by bottom view shown in Figure 14, in this embodiment, in Background Region, be provided with a support wheel 18.
In addition, movably bottom part 30 and loading and unloading ramp 32 also can be used in combination with the cleaning brush 22 in being located at folding corner region 6 described height.
The dust arrester 1 of this utonomous working is pressed emitter/receiver principle and a base station 33 coupling, and this base station is both as the parking and charging station of dust arrester 1, also as unstowing the station.For this reason, this base station 33 has a dust catcher that can use separately 34 (seeing Figure 16).Here it relates to a kind of common domestic vacuum cleaners, and this dust catcher is connected with described base station 33 by an adapter 35.The dust arrester 1 that searches out base station 33 triggers a contact on stand, subsequently, the dust catcher 34 that for example remains in the standby operation state just will be stored in the dust sucking-off in the dust-storing container 14.Meanwhile to for example be designed to the energy carrier charging of batteries 11 in form.It is also contemplated that the employing fuel cell in this respect.
In order to seek base station 33 automatically, described dust arrester 1 has one or two reception antenna 36, measures the sensing of the field line of the electromagnetic field that produces by a transmitter that is located in this base station 33 by them.Electric wave 38 that produce by an oscillation circuit and that launch by a transmitting antenna 37 can penetrate most of barriers, and thereby prevents to the full extent to cover.
Figure 17 has schematically shown operation principle.Described dust arrester 1 when sail for 33 times the base station according to the field line orientation, this moment or follow field line and, or perpendicular to field line travel (arrow b) here along the direction running of peak signal.In addition, also can use countermeasure a kind of mixing, that seek base station 33.If dust arrester 1 meets with a barrier, the action countermeasure of then taking a sensor to support, this countermeasure can realize that the cut-through thing travels, and continues to go to the stroke of base station 33 subsequently.
As shown in figure 18, in the circular contour of described dust arrester 1, can in the front area of observing along moving direction, described support wheel 18 be set, and be that the rear portion of this dust arrester 1 sets the described wheel 16 that travels.Wherein said brush 9 extends transverse to moving direction ground in the central authorities of dust arrester bottom 8 substantially.
The identification in heavy hole for example realizes by infrared sensor 50 in this design, wherein, selects infrared sensor in the front that is arranged on described brush 9 along moving direction.The sensor 19 that is used for obstacle identification is an infrared sensor in illustrated embodiment equally.
Shi Bie barrier makes dust arrester 1 braking by an analysis device whereby, the impulsive force when reducing to collide thus or in addition avoid collision.Described analysis result can be used for when identification has obstacle, selecting dust arrester 1 to have a low velocity by a microprocessor, and when not having obstacle, select dust arrester 1 to have one at a high speed.
Figure 19 represents the schematic sectional view of the dust arrester 1 of another kind of embodiment, and dust arrester 1 has that a support wheel by embodiment shown in Figure 16-the wheel configuration structure travels in this embodiment.Be installed on the reel cage 51, this reel cage 51 can be swung around a rotation w in chassis 2 described brush 9 alterable heights.The rotation w of this swing overlaps with the horizontally disposed axis u of the motor 10 of described driven brush 9, and here, described motor 10 is located at brush 9 back along moving direction r.
In addition, in illustrated this embodiment, a cleaning brush that only schematically shows 22 also is housed here on described reel cage 51.
Because this expansion design has realized also unloading automatically when frictional force increases.If have big resistance, overcome then that gravity makes brush 9 and the cleaning brush 22 that also may exist lifts at brush 9 places.Therefore protection motor 10 and load transfer device are avoided damaging when dust arrester is in the full load state.In addition, the power of described motor 10 will keep constant.
As Figure 21 and 22 schematically illustrates, also there is this possibility, promptly utilize the electric current of the motor of described driven brush 9 to analyze.Change the program of travelling of floor-type dust collector 1 by an analytical electron circuit 52 according to described motor current, make that for example being elevated to unallowed degree dust arrester in season at motor current sails for 1 time.When the big electric current of this unallowed motor may for example have tassel or cable to be pulled in the brush 9.In addition, described analytical electron circuit 52 window when the threshold value that detects motor current begins to start, this time utilize in the window the further raising of described motor current to sail for 1 time as dust arrester trigger event.
Also can find out by Figure 19, in leading to the dust transfer passage 53 of dust-storing container 14, be provided with the dust flow monitor 54 of an echelette form, be used to be determined at an interior amount of dust of predesignating of launching towards the direction of dust-storing container 14 of time window by brush 9.The dust flow that passes through to be measured is adjusted the countermeasure of travelling of dust arrester 1 in case of necessity.Therefore when detecting big dust flow, impel and repeat to cross the described running section that big dust flow is provided.
Loading and unloading ramp 32 according to the direction of bowl orientation can be provided with along direction of bowl with dodging, and should can turn round around described brush axis x by the loading and unloading ramp this moment.This loading and unloading ramp 32 is dodged with can overcoming elastic force, and this loading and unloading ramp 32 is designed to constitute the plastic sheeting of a ribbon element 55 for this reason.Forwardly distinguish, that is in the zone that sets brush 9, described ribbon element 55 sides are fixed on the slide 56, this slide can support rotatably around described brush axis x.Therefore, described diaphragm type ribbon element 55 is guided on the track of a regulation in the front area of described loading and unloading ramp 32, avoids thus bumping against with brush 9.Rest on the form that preceding free seamed edge 57 on the floor to be cleaned is designed to wear-resisting metal or plastics seamed edge.
Loading and unloading ramp 32 is pressed against seamed edge 57 on the floor to be cleaned all the time by pretightning force.If loading and unloading ramp 32 is run on the barrier, it is just dodged out, and it upwards rotates around brush axis x for this reason, and wherein ribbon element 55 is fixed on by the end on the wall of dust-storing container 17 strain takes place restrictedly.The fixing point of described ribbon element in dust-storing container 14 zones represented with Reference numeral 58.
Loading and unloading ramp 32 can be adapted to different floor levels, wherein loads and unloads the elastic force of ramp 32 and selects to be designed to, and described dust arrester 1 can not blocked.
Do not import in chassis 2 in order to make the vertical force that acts on the guard shield 3, exactly be transmitted to floor 41 by guard shield 3, in another kind of embodiment, comprise that the running mechanism 59 of described travel wheel 16 and the corresponding motor 17 that sets adopts the resilient suspension structure according to Figure 21 and 22.For this reason, described travel wheel 16 and motor 17 be arranged on one with the dust arrester bottom 8 running mechanism installing plates 60 that separate on, this installing plate 60 on the home position of not bearing load shown in Figure 21 one of dust arrester bottom 8 with the adaptive window shape breach 61 of installing plate 60 profile phases in bottom dust arrester, extend in 8 the plane.
The installing plate 60 that carries described running mechanism 59 flexibly hangs with respect to described chassis 2 and guard shield 3.This resilient suspension realizes that with the elastic webbing 62 that installing plate 60 is connected on the dust arrester bottom 8 as shown in figure 23, the cross section of described elastic webbing has sphere and arches upward by some.Therefore, elastic webbing 62 constitutes noise made in coughing or vomiting warbling of the oriole spring (Knackfedem), and wherein each elastic webbing 62 is preferably made by the metal sheet or the steel plate of intercepting shaping arching.
In this embodiment, guard shield 3 at least vertically is rigidly connected with chassis 2.When the vertical load of being born when guard shield 3 surpassed threshold value, this load caused elastic webbing 62 bendings by chassis 2 and dust arrester bottom 8, consequently reduces the spacing between guard shield 3 and the floor 41.By this noise made in coughing or vomiting warbling of the oriole spring design, when surpassing threshold value, cause the unexpected unstability of running mechanism 59, therefore, guard shield 3 is bearing in (Figure 22) on the floor 41 for the power that imports vertical effect.
If the vertical load that guard shield 3 is born is lower than the threshold value of vertical importing power, then running mechanism 59 is in home position shown in Figure 21 based on the elasticity pretightning force of elastic webbing 62, meanwhile lifts guard shield 3 and chassis 2.
Replacing elastic webbing 62, some also can be set act on stage clip between installing plate 60 and the dust arrester bottom 8, is that they are just just moved above threshold value the time with their Flexible Design.
The behavior countermeasure that is used for travelling on unknown surface relates to the principle of pseudorandom behavior.Like this will for preferred three in front each of obstacle sensor 19 in the zone calculate the best anglec of rotation.This anglec of rotation by a fixing corner component and one around this fixedly the corner regions value of corner form, from this angle range, calculate angle at random in the work.33 return to sail by an electromagnetic field and realize towards the base station laterally be arranged on the dust arrester 1 at reception antenna 36 described in this illustrated embodiment, and transmitting antenna 37 longitudinally is arranged on the base station 33.
Figure 24 schematically shows the behavior of sailing of returning of dust arrester 1.At first 360 ° of rotations by dust arrester 1 are carried out orientation according to magnetic field by measuring maximum and minimum of a value at an A place.Store detected maximum, judge by range conversion in view of the above.Then dust arrester 1 is according to one of two minimum of a values orientation, and to overtake a preset distance for example 40cm is until an A ', the rotation of locating by 360 ° at an A ' remeasures.
If maximum that an A ' locates to record less than travelling before in a maximum that the A place records, what then represent to choose is correct direction, continues in view of the above to travel.But if for the first time driving to maximum that an A ' locates to record greater than the maximum that records at initial point A place, then selected is the direction of mistake.As to this reaction dust arrester 1 towards rotating in the opposite direction with previous selected side.Represented this situation among Figure 24.
As the crow flies along the direction running of minimum of a value, wherein, the length of driving path is corresponding with range all the time for dust arrester 1.This means, dust arrester 1 the closer to the base station 33 and thereby signal strong more, then the distance of travelling between two orientation point B is short more.
Behind each running section, by left side and the right side rotation of dust arrester 1, the travel direction of dust arrester 1 accurately to be adjusted according to minimum of a value to travel direction, this process also can be carried out in to overtake in case of necessity.Determine next step travel direction by measuring minimum of a value.In the measured value value of overstepping the extreme limit, carry out range conversion.Repeat this accurate adjustment process and (see some B, B ' and B ") among Figure 24; before dust arrester 1 directly is in base station 33; dust arrester 1 carries out 180 ° turn afterwards, and travel, until operation one limit switch or a contact that is used for charging plug in order to dock backward with base station 33.Be recharged on the stand that dust arrester 1 arrives at this moment and may be unstowed by a dust catcher 34.
In addition, base station 33 also can be designed to have the indoor air cleaner of a dust arrester 1 butt joint clutch.Have this possibility in addition, that is, base station 33 has other as charging station and is used for for example butt joint clutch of hand-held battery dust catcher of other devices.
Figure 25 is illustrated in to the base station and crosses the behavior that dust arrester 1 when running into obstacle in the journey is made accommodation for 33 times.Primary collision or by means of the identification of the optics obstacle of sensor 19 causes described obstacle behavior pattern (to see Figure 25 mid point C, C ' and C ").When dust arrester 1 meets with a barrier 63, at first oppositely return and sail with original moving direction, the low-angle that turns round a preliminary election afterwards leaves barrier 63, and selected here angle also can be an angle at random.Then again to overtake and repeat above-mentioned steps, until no longer touching barrier.Storage also is accumulated as the corner that cut-through thing 63 has experienced, and calculates the number of times that collision accident takes place simultaneously.
Behind cut-through thing 63, dust arrester 1 is by the normal mode for example 40cm of a predetermined distance that travels, or drives to always and touch barrier again.If calculate collision frequency surpass a limiting value, or total anglec of rotation surpasses a limiting value, then dust arrester 1 and begins to redirect according to magnetic field from the travel direction Sideslip through accommodation in the angle by one of rotation when the contact obstacle at random.In Figure 25, represented this reaction.The number of times of locating to collide at a C and C ' in zone, a corner of the room or total anglec of rotation surpass a limiting value, make to break away from when the contact obstacle behavior through adjustment from a C ', and " locate to redirect according to magnetic field at an A.
Otherwise " locate successfully cut-through thing 63 of dust arrester 1, the distance of being scheduled to of at first travelling afterwards is until point of arrival B ' at a C.One of dust arrester 1 counter-rotating here is the required angular metric of cut-through thing 63, and the counter that is used for corner and collision accident then is by zero setting.From a B ', in illustrated embodiment, also therefore be equivalent to embodiment ground shown in Figure 24 without barrier and carry out to travelling of base station 33.
