Detailed Description

The utility model is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the utility model and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only a part of structures related to the present utility model, not the whole structures, are shown in the drawings.

In the description of the present embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are orientation or positional relationships based on those shown in the drawings, merely for convenience of description and simplicity of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the apparatus or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used merely for distinguishing between descriptions and not for distinguishing between them.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a cleaning apparatus including a housing 100 and a traveling mechanism provided below the housing 100 to drive the housing 100 to perform cleaning according to a preset cleaning path.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the cleaning apparatus further includes a camera assembly 200, where the camera assembly 200 is disposed in front of the housing 100, and the camera assembly 200 is used to capture an image of the front of the housing 100 and identify an obstacle, so as to avoid damage to the cleaning apparatus caused by a rigid collision, thereby improving safety performance of the cleaning apparatus.

However, when the cleaning apparatus is operated in a dark environment, since the image capturing assembly 200 cannot capture the cleaned image, the obstacle avoidance capability of the cleaning apparatus is reduced, and collision is easily generated.

With continued reference to fig. 1, to address this problem, the cleaning apparatus of the present embodiment further includes an illumination assembly 300. The lighting assembly 300 is arranged on the shell 100, and the lighting assembly 300 is arranged on the camera assembly 200 to achieve the effect of supplementing light for the camera assembly 200, improving the definition of the camera assembly 200 for capturing images in the dark environment, and further improving the stability of the camera assembly 200 in the dark environment, so that the stability and the safety of the cleaning equipment in the dark environment are improved, and collision is avoided.

The illumination assembly 300 includes at least two illumination members 310, and the at least two illumination members 310 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the camera assembly 200, which is beneficial to improving the light supplementing effect.

Further, the illuminating member 310 includes a light source member and a cover plate 311. The light source is disposed on the housing 100, and the cover plate 311 is covered on the light source, so as to prevent dust of the light source and protect the light source from collision. The light source member may be an LED lamp, and the LED has high illumination brightness, small volume, low cost, and the like. The light source part can be electrically connected with a power supply component which can supply electric energy for the travelling mechanism by the cleaning equipment so as to ensure the work.

The outer surface of the cover plate 311 is a diamond texture surface, which is favorable for more uniformly refracting light, and has no glare and wider light irradiation range, thereby assisting the capturing range of the camera assembly 200 to be wider.

In order to ensure the light transmittance and strength of the cover 311, the cover 311 is made of PC. Further, the PC material contains a light diffusing agent, which is favorable to improving the light transmitting and diffusing effects of the cover plate 311, and to make the light more uniformly refracted out, so that the light irradiation range is wider, and the capturing range of the auxiliary image capturing component 200 is wider.

As an alternative, the housing 100 includes a main body 110 and a front striker plate 120. The front striker 120 is disposed at the front end of the main body 110, and the front striker 120 is provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, where the first mounting hole is disposed corresponding to the camera assembly 200, so as to prevent the front striker 120 from blocking the view of the camera assembly 200. The lighting assembly 300 is disposed on the second mounting hole, which is beneficial to fixing the lighting element 310 by using the side wall of the second mounting hole, and improving the mounting stability of the lighting element 310.

Further, the radiation range of the at least two illumination members 310 along the first direction is 600 mm-1000 mm, so as to ensure that the illumination width range of the illumination members 310 is enough for the camera assembly 200 to capture images, thereby being beneficial to improving the stability and safety of the cleaning device in dark environment and avoiding collision.

Optionally, two illumination elements 310 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the camera assembly 200 along the X direction (the first direction), and the size of the illumination element 310 along the Z direction (the second direction) is 1/2 to 3/2 times that of the camera assembly 200, so as to ensure that the illumination range of the illumination element 310 is sufficient in the Z direction.

In other embodiments, the number of the illumination members 310 may be four, six or eight, and the plurality of illumination members 310 may be divided into two groups, which are respectively disposed on two sides of the image capturing assembly.

In other embodiments, the illumination member 310 may also be symmetrically disposed on both sides of the camera assembly along the Z-direction.

In addition, the center distance of the two illumination pieces 310 is 11/10-17/10 times of the dimension of the image pickup assembly 200 along the X direction, so that the brightness in front of the image pickup assembly 200 is prevented from being reduced due to the fact that the distance between the two illumination pieces 310 and the image pickup assembly 200 is too large, and the illumination effect is prevented from being influenced.

Further, the brightness of the lighting element 310 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the brightness of the lighting element 310 according to the brightness of different environments, thereby avoiding waste of electric quantity or insufficient lighting effect.

Note that the basic principles and main features of the present utility model and advantages of the present utility model are shown and described above. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present utility model is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, but rather, the foregoing embodiments and description illustrate the principles of the utility model, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
