Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a cleaning robot 100 is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The cleaning robot 100 includes a body 10, and a vacuum source 20 and a chamber 30 disposed on a first surface 11 of the body 10. With the body 10 positioned on the surface to be cleaned, the vacuum source 20 operates to form a vacuum chamber between the first face 11 of the body 10 and the surface to be cleaned. The cavity 30 comprises an open side 31, the open side 31 facing away from the body 10. The cavity 30 is further provided with a vibration source 40, when the body 10 is adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned and liquid exists in the cavity 30, the vibration source 40 applies vibration to the liquid in the cavity 30 to generate cavitation effect to clean the surface to be cleaned.

Cleaning machines people 100 in this application, the vibration is applyed to the liquid in cavity 30 through vibration source 40 in the cavity 30 to produce cavitation effect and treat the cleaning surface and clean, so compare in only treating cleaning surface with the rag and drag cleaning machines people 100 who wipes, can promote cleaning efficiency, and can promote the cleaning effect to stubborn spot.

Specifically, the body 10 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to each other. Here, when the cleaning robot 100 is operating normally, that is, when the cleaning robot 100 cleans a surface to be cleaned, the first surface 11 of the body 10 is closer to the surface to be cleaned than the second surface 12.

The vacuum source 20 is disposed on the first side 11 of the body 10, and when the cleaning robot 100 is in normal operation, that is, when the body 10 is placed on a surface to be cleaned, the vacuum source 20 sucks air to form a vacuum cavity between the first side 11 of the body 10 and the surface to be cleaned, so that the body 10 is attached to the surface to be cleaned. Thus, the cleaning robot 100 can clean a plane (such as a wall surface, a window and the like) which forms an included angle with a horizontal plane, and therefore the problems that the height of a manual window cleaning is insufficient, high-altitude operation is carried out and the like are solved.

The first side 11 of the body 10 is further provided with a cavity 30. The cavity 30 comprises an open side 31 facing away from the body 10, i.e. the open side 31 of the cavity 30 is facing the surface to be cleaned when the body 10 is placed on the surface to be cleaned. The cavity 30 is further provided with a vibration source 40, and when the machine body 10 is placed on a surface to be cleaned, the vacuum source 20 sucks air between the machine body 10 and the surface to be cleaned, so that the machine body 10 is adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned. Subsequently, by injecting liquid into the chamber 30 and turning on the vibration source 40, the vibration source 40 can apply vibration to the liquid in the chamber 30 to generate cavitation effect to clean the surface to be cleaned. Specifically, the micro bubble nuclei in the liquid in the chamber 30 are vibrated by the vibration source 40, and when the sound pressure reaches a certain value, the bubbles are rapidly expanded and then suddenly closed, and when the bubbles are closed, a shock wave is generated, and the cleaning surface can be cleaned by the shock wave. Thus, by using the cavitation effect as a cleaning means of the cleaning robot 100, compared with the cleaning robot 100 that only uses a cleaning cloth to wipe a surface to be cleaned, the cleaning efficiency can be improved, and the cleaning effect on stubborn stains can be improved.

It should be noted that the liquid injected into the cavity 30 may be ordinary purified water; or a liquid with a detergent added thereto; or sterilized water, etc., without limitation. In addition, the liquid mentioned below is also explained and will not be described in detail.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 100 further includes a storage container 50 and a fluid passage 60. The storage container 50 is used to store liquid, and the storage container 50 is communicated with the cavity 30 through the fluid passage 60. Before the body 10 adsorbs the surface to be cleaned, the liquid is stored in the storage container 50; after the body 10 is attracted to the surface to be cleaned by the vacuum source 20, the liquid stored in the storage container 50 may flow into the cavity 30 through the fluid passage 60. Because the liquid flows into the cavity 30 through the fluid flow channel after the body 10 is adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned, the liquid can be prevented from flowing out from the open side 31 of the cavity 30 before the body 10 is not adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned, and the liquid in the cavity 30 can be ensured to exist when the vibration source 40 vibrates, so that the cavitation effect can be generated.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 100 may further include a water pump (not shown) configured to operate after the body 10 is attached to the surface to be cleaned, so as to flow the liquid in the storage container 50 into the cavity 30 through the fluid passage 60. Of course, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 100 may only have the fluid flow path 60, and in this case, the fluid flow path 60 may communicate the cavity with the outside, and after the body 10 is attached to the surface to be cleaned, the user may inject the liquid into the cavity 30 through the fluid flow path 60.

Referring to fig. 2, the cavity 30 includes a first side 301 and a second side 302 opposite to each other, and the second side 302 is closer to the body 10 than the first side 301. Wherein the first side 301 is an open side 31 and the second side 302 is a closed side.

In some embodiments, the open side 31 of the cavity 30 is provided with a seal 70. When the cleaning robot 100 cleans a surface to be cleaned, that is, when the body 10 is attached to the surface to be cleaned and the liquid is injected into the cavity 30, the sealing member 70 provided on the open side 31 can prevent the liquid in the cavity 30 from overflowing from the cavity 30. Therefore, a large amount of liquid can be prevented from being retained on the surface to be cleaned, and the liquid in the cavity 30 can be ensured, so that a cavitation effect can be generated under the action of the vibration source 40, and the surface to be cleaned is continuously cleaned.

In some embodiments, the seal 70 may also be resilient and capable of deforming when the body 10 is placed on a surface to be cleaned. Because the sealing element 70 has elasticity and can deform, even if the surface to be cleaned is a curved surface or uneven, the sealing element 70 can be well attached to the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning robot 100 can be favorably adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned.

The sealing member 70 may include at least one of a sealing strip, a water-absorbing wiper, and a sponge. Therefore, when the cleaning robot 100 cleans the surface to be cleaned, the liquid in the sealing cavity can be prevented from overflowing from the cavity 30, and the cleaning robot also has certain elasticity and can be better attached to the surface to be cleaned.

In some embodiments, the vibration source 40 is disposed in a central region of the second side 302 of the cavity 30. Since the vibration source 40 is disposed in the central region of the second side 302 away from the open side 31, the liquid is beneficial to generate cavitation effect under the action of the vibration source 40, and the generated shock wave is closer to the open side 31, i.e. closer to the surface to be cleaned, thereby being beneficial to improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning robot 100.

It should be noted that in some embodiments, the vibration source 40 may be an ultrasonic vibration source, such as an ultrasonic transducer plate. At this time, the vibration source 40 may apply vibration to the liquid within the cavity 30 by emitting ultrasonic waves. Of course, the vibration source 40 may be other devices capable of applying vibration to the liquid in the cavity 30, and the vibration source is not limited herein, and only needs to satisfy the requirement that the liquid in the cavity 30 can generate cavitation effect under the action of the vibration source 40.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 100 further includes a cleaning assembly 80 disposed on the first surface 11 of the body 10. The cleaning assembly 80 is used to perform a cleaning function on a surface to be cleaned. Since the cleaning robot 100 is further provided with the cleaning assembly 80, the cleaning assembly 80 can further clean the surface to be cleaned.

Further, in some embodiments, with the housing 10 placed on a surface to be cleaned, the cleaning assembly 80 is positioned between the housing 10 and the surface to be cleaned to provide a vacuum seal for the vacuum chamber. This is advantageous for the cleaning robot 100 to be attracted and more closely attached to the surface to be cleaned, so as to prevent the cleaning robot 100 from falling off from the surface to be cleaned.

In some embodiments, in the case that the cleaning robot 100 is provided with the cleaning assembly 80 and the open side 31 of the cavity 30 is provided with the sealing member 70, a face of the sealing member 70 away from the machine body 10 is flush with a face of the cleaning assembly 80 away from the machine body 10. When the body 10 is placed on the surface to be cleaned, the sealing element 70 and the cleaning element 80 are flush with the surface far away from the body 10, and compared with the difference in height between the sealing element 70 and the cleaning element 80, the sealing element 70 and the cleaning element 80 can be tightly attached to the surface to be cleaned, so that the body 10 can be adsorbed on the surface to be cleaned.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the cavity 30 may be integrally formed with the body 10, i.e., each side of the cavity 30 is composed of a surface of the body 10. As an example, the first face 11 of the body 10 is recessed toward the second face 12 to form a recess, which is the cavity 30. The sealing member 70 is disposed on the side of the groove away from the second face 12, that is, the sealing member 70 is disposed on the open side 31 of the cavity 30, and the sealing member 70 and the cleaning assembly 80 are flush with each other on the side away from the machine body 10. Of course, in some embodiments, the cavity 30 may also be formed separately, i.e., each side of the cavity 30 is not composed of a surface of the body 10. As an example, the first face 11 of the body 10 is recessed toward the second face 12 to form a recess, and the cavity 30 may be installed in the recess. In this case, the cavity 30 and the body 10 may be fixedly connected or detachably connected, and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 100 further includes a driving structure 90 mounted on the machine body 10, and the driving structure 90 is used for driving the machine body 10 to move. In some embodiments, the driving structure 90 may also be disposed on the first surface 11 of the body 10, such that when the body 10 is placed on a surface to be cleaned, the driving structure 90 disposed on the first surface 11 can contact the surface to be cleaned to drive the body 10 to move on the cleaning surface.

Further, in some embodiments, the driving structure 90 includes a second driving member 92 and a first driving member 91 for driving the machine body 10 to move, and the first driving member 91 and the second driving member 92 are disposed at an interval, and the vacuum source 20 is disposed between the first driving member 91 and the second driving member 92. Since the vacuum source 20 is disposed between the first driving member 91 and the second driving member 92, when the cleaning robot 100 normally works, that is, when the vacuum source 20 sucks air, the cleaning robot 100 is attracted to the surface to be cleaned, which is beneficial to smooth movement of the machine body 10.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the first driving element 91 and the second driving element 92 may each include a motor, a gear and a transmission system. Wherein, the transmission system can also comprise a synchronous belt, a synchronous driving gear and a synchronous wheel. The motor rotatably drives the timing drive wheel to rotate the timing wheel via the timing belt. This movement may be forward or backward, and each drive may be independently operated to guide the cleaning robot 100 in a desired direction. Of course, in some embodiments, the first driving element 91 and the second driving element 92 may be linked, that is, only one of the driving elements needs to be operated, and the two driving elements can simultaneously respond to the operation, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the driving structure 90 can drive the body 10 to move along a first direction, and the cavity 30 and the cleaning element 80 are disposed along the first direction, so that the cavity 30 and the cleaning element 80 sequentially pass through the surface to be cleaned. Even if water stains are left after the liquid in the cavity 30 generates the cavitation effect under the action of the vibration source 40 to clean the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning assembly 80 can dry the left water stains, so that the cleaning effect of the cleaning robot 100 can be further improved.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the first surface 11 includes a first side 101 and a second side 102 opposite to each other, and the driving structure 90 is capable of driving the body 10 to move from the first side 101 to the second side 102. The chamber 30 and the cleaning element 80 are disposed along a direction from the first side 101 to the second side 102, and the chamber 30 is closer to the second side 102 than the cleaning element 80. Assuming that when the cleaning robot 100 needs to clean the stain in the area a of the surface to be cleaned, the driving structure 90 drives the body 10 to move from the first side 101 to the second side 102, the cavity 30 can correspond to the area a first, and at this time, the vibration source 40 applies vibration to the liquid in the cavity 30 to generate a cavitation effect to clean the stain in the area a of the surface to be cleaned; the drive structure 90 then continues to drive the body 10 from the first side 101 to the second side 102 to enable the cleaning assembly 80 to correspond to the area a and perform its corresponding cleaning function on the area a.
