Furthermore, at least a part of the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302 always extends beyond the edge of the body 10 to achieve the cleaning along the edge to the edge of the obstacles or walls, in the width direction of the body 10, since there is no cleaning-missed area between the cleaning area of the main cleaning assembly 202 and the cleaning area of the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302, thereby achieving the cleaning along the edge while prevent cleaning-missed area from existing between the main cleaning assembly 202 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302, enhancing the overall cleaning effectiveness.

In order to avoid existing the cleaning-missed area between the two circular main cleaning disks 2021, there is a gap between adjacent edges of the two main cleaning disks 2021, enabling the rotation of the two main cleaning disks 2021 not to interfere with each other, the adjacent edges of the main mops 2022 disposed on the bottom of the two main cleaning disks 2021 are either tangent or pressed against each other; or, due to the main mop 2022 is usually flexible and has a certain deformation amount, the adjacent edges of the two main mops 2022 pressed against to form a first interference region 905, eliminating the gap between the adjacent edges of the two main mops 2022, avoiding the cleaning-missed area.
There is a gap between the two main cleaning disks 2021, without affecting the rotating motion of each other, as shown in FIG. 26, a certain first interference region 905 exists between the two main mops 2022, so as to prevent the problem of missing cleaning from happening. Wherein, the maximum width of the interference region between the two main mops 2022 can be approximately 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm, a specific numerical is not limited here.

The main cleaning module 20 and the auxiliary cleaning module 30 are both disposed at the rear portion of the body, the edge brush is disposed at the front portion of the body 10, and on the forward direction of the body 10, the edge brush and the auxiliary cleaning module 30 are both distributed on the right side of the body 10, to form a cleaning along the right edge.
Due to the edge brush is disposed at the front portion of the body 10, the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302 is disposed at the rear portion of the body 10, the edge brush and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302 are both disposed on the right side of the body 10, during the process of the cleaning along the edge, the edge brush implements dry cleaning at front, the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302 implenments wet cleaning at back, so that when cleaning the edges of the obstacles, wall edges, corner areas (such as inner right perspectives), etc., forming a cleaning mode of the dry sweeping followed by the wet mopping cleaning, further enhancing the effectiveness of the cleaning along the edge.
As shown in FIG. 10, the two driving wheels 801 of the locomotion system 80 are disposed on the bottom of the body 10 symmetrically, the dry cleaning module 40 comprises the aforementioned rolling brush 403, the dust box 401 and the main fan 402. Due to the body 10 is a square-shaped machine, corresponding to a circular-shaped machine whose body 10 is circular, the width of the body 10 of the square-shaped machine is smaller than the maximum width (the diameter of the circular) of a circular-shaped machine. On the width direction of the body 10, the length of the rolling brush 403 is greater than the distance between the two driving wheels 801, therefore in the square-shaped machine, along the forward direction of the body 10, the rolling brush 403 is disposed in front of the driving wheel 801, the dust box 401 is distributed between the two driving wheels 801.
The two main cleaning assemblies 202 are both disposed behind the dust box 401 (or the dust box chamber 108 on the body 10), and distributed beneath the bottom of the rear portion of the body symmetrically, along the forward direction of the body 10, the two main cleaning assemblies 202 are both disposed behind the two driving wheels, to form that the driving wheel 801 move at front, the main cleaning assembly 202 mops the floor behind the driving wheel 801, so that within the area already cleaned by the main mop 2022, no wheel mark of the driving wheel 801 will be remained, so as to enhancing the cleaning effectiveness of the main mop 2022.
It should be noted that there are two ways that the main cleaning assembly 202 disposed behind the driving wheel 801, the first way: as shown in FIG. 10, along the forward direction of the body 10, the main cleaning assembly 202 is totally disposed behind the two driving wheels 801; the second way: on the forward direction of the body 10 and the width direction of the body 10, the driving wheel 801 and the main cleaning disk 2021 are staggered, the main cleaning disk 2021 is disposed behind the connecting line of the rotation center of the two driving wheels 801, but a part of the arc of the main cleaning disk 2021 is disposed within the region between the two driving wheels 801, the rotation of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the movement of the driving wheel 801 does not affect each other, therefore along the forward direction of the body 10, the length of the body 10 can be shortened, achieving that the driving wheel 801 moves at front, the main mop 2022 cleans at back, enchacing the cleaning effectiveness.
In order to avoid the cleaning-missed area between the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022, in this implementation method, along the width directrion of the body 10, there is no cleaning-missed area between the cleaning area of the main mop 2022 and the cleaning area of the auxiliary mop 3022, ensuring the cleaning effectiveness along the edge and high cleaning efficiency.
As to the way of no area left cleaned between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, there are several implementation methods, specifically:
The first implementation method, there is a gap between the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021, such that the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021 rotates, without affecting each other; there is no gap between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, enabling that the cleaning-missed area does not exist while the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are rotating to clean.
For example, the adjacent edges of the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are tangent, enabling that the cleaning-missed area does not exist between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022. Due to the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are usually flexible and have a certain deformation amout, when the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 deform after a certain period of using, to prevent the situation that the gap can exist between the tangent adjacent edges between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 from occurring, to further ensure that there is no gap between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the adjacent ends of the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 squeeze, to form a small mount of the second interference region 906, ensuring that there is no gap between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, while the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are rotating with respective cleaning disk without being affected, thus achieving that there is no cleaning-missed area between the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side. However, in this implementation method, due to the continuous tangency or mutual compression between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, a tangential line or compression line (the second interference region 906) is formed between the adjacent edges of the the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, after the robot mops the floor, one or more trace lines is easily remained on the floor, resulting in the floor cannot be cleaned thoroughly and affecting the cleaning effectiveness.
The second interference region 906 is similar to the aforementioned first interference region 905, the maximum width of the second interference region 906 between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 can be approximately 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm, a specific numerical is not limited here.
As shown in FIG. 26, as to the maximum width of the second interference region 906: the first connecting line between the rotation center of the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the maximum width of the second interference region 906 is the length L2 of the cross line of the first connecting line and the second interference region 906.
Due to the radius of the main cleaning disk 2021 is much bigger than the radius of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, in case where the maximum width of the second interference region 906 exceeds 5mm, the rotation of the main cleaning disk 2021 is not affected, but the rotation of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is affected, therefore, the maximum width of the second interference region 906 is smaller than or equal to 5mm, the rotations of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 are not affected, while preventing cleaning-missed cases.
In the second implementation method, there is a gap between the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, without affecting the rotating motion of each other; there is a gap between the adjacent or closed edges of the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, the rotations of the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 do not interfere with each other, while the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are rotating with respective cleaning disk. The main cleaning disk 2021 is provided with a first part 901; the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is provided with a second part 902, on the forward direction of the body 10, the first part 901 and the second part 902 have an overlapping region 903, thus on the forward direction of the body 10, the main mop 2022 on the first part 901 and the auxiliary mop 3022 on the second part 902 also have the overlapping region 903.
Due to part of the main cleaning disk 2021 extends beyond the edge of the rear portion of the body 10, therefore in this implementation method, on the forward direction of the body 10, the second part 902 of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed in front of the first part 901 of the main cleaning disk 2021 (or the first part 901 is disposed behind the second part 902), when the robot is in the cleaning process, the auxiliary mop 3022 on the second part 902 of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 cleans fistly, and the main mop 2022 on the first part 901 of the main cleaning disk 2021 cleans afterwards, on the forward direction of the body 10, the cleaning area cleaned by the auxiliary mop 3022 firstly and the cleaning area cleaned by the main mop 2022 afterwards have the overlapping region 903, thus avoiding the existence of the cleaning-missed area, corresponding to no gap exist between the adjacent edges of the aforementioned main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, in this implementation method, because there is a gap between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, without interfering with each other, after the robot mops the floor, the trace line cannot remain on the floor, the cleaning effect is better.
The third implementation method has the first implementation method and the second implementation method mentioned above at the same time, specifically, there is a gap between the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, without interfering with each other when the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates; the adjacent edges of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022 are either tangent or pressed against each other (the second interference region 906 mentioned above exists); meanwhile, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is provided with a second part 902, the main cleaning disk 2021 is provided with a first part 901, the second part 902 is disposed in front of the first part 901, the cleaning area of the auxiliary mop 3022 of the second part 902 and the cleaning area of the main mop 2022 on the first part 901 have the overlapping region 903, double the effect of avoiding cleaning-missed cases; the first part 901 of the main cleaning disk 2021 is disposed behind the position of the tangential line or compression line of the adjacent edges between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, during the process of cleaning, the trace line formed by the tangential line or compression line on the floor can be cleaned and covered by the main mop 2022 on the first part 901 of the main cleaning disk 2021, which is disposed at back, so that no trace line remained on the floor while possessing the double function of no cleaning-missed cases, enhacing the cleaning effectiveness to the floor, as shown in FIG. 9.
Meanwhile, because there is not gap between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, such that the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed in the limited first region 103 on the body 10 (mentioned later in the text), the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 can vertically project on the bottom of the body 10, the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is larger, a larger portion of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 extends beyond the edge of the body 10, the area of cleaning along the edge is wider.
Under the layout of the main cleaning disk 2021, the driving wheel 801, the dust box chamber 108 mentioned above, the rolling brush 403 and the edge brush, without increasing the length and width of the body 10, to increase the cleaning area of the main cleaning disk 2021, as shown in FIG. X, part of the main cleaning disk 2021 extends beyond the edge of the rear portion of the body 10 (i.e. the rear sidewall of the body 10).
Without changing the layout of the edge brush, the rolling brush 403, the dust box 401, the driving wheel 801 and the two main cleaning disk 2021 on the bottom of the body 10. Due to part of the main cleaning disk 2021 extends beyond the edge of the rear portion of the body 10, thus the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 cannot distribute behind the main cleaning disk 2021, in order to achieve the cleaning along the edge of the auxiliary mop 3022 on the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed within the first region 103, which is surrounded by the rear of the right side driving wheel 801 and the cleaning disk on the right side, the bottom of the right side of the body 10, during the manufacturing process of the base tray 101, only one fist avoidance hole is needed to be added within the first region 103 of the base tray 101, for part of the first driving structure 302 to pass through the first avoidance hole to connect to the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, allowing the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to be disposed beneath the base tray 101. That is, when the auxiliay cleaning disk 3021 is disposed on the base tray 101 or not, when the layout of the edge brush, the rolling brush 403, the driving wheel 801, the dust box chamber 108 and the main claning assembly 202 on the bottom of the body 10 remains unchanged, the cost of manufacturing and processing of the base tray 101 can be reduced, there is no need for a separate mold for the base tray 101, the base tray 101 can be manufactured at first, and then the first avoidance hole 60171 can be manufactrued on the base tray 101; meanwhile, there is space for installing the auxiliary cleaning assembly 302, such that the auxiliary cleaning rag achieves the function of cleaning along the edge.
In case where the edge brush and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 are both disposed on the left side of the body 10, to form a left edge, correspondingly, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed within the first region 103, which is surrounded by the driving wheel 801 disposed on the left side and the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side, the bottom of the left side of the body 10 (or the left side edge along the width direction of the body 10). That is, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed within the first region 103, which is surrounded by the rear of driving wheel 801 and the main cleaning disk 2021, the side edge of the body 10 that are adjacent to or in close to the auxiliary cleaning disk 2021.
Meanwhile, in order to set up the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 in the limited first region, the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 must be smaller than the diameter of the main cleaning disk 2021, the radius R2 of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is at least smaller than half of the radius R1 of the main cleaning disk 2021, such that the main mop 2022 presents a big rag, the auxiliary mop 3022 presents a small rag, when non-edge cleaning, the cleaning mainly depends on the big rag, when cleaning along the edge, the cleaning mainly depends on the small rag to implement the cleaning along the edge.
For examble, the ratio of R1 to R2 is 2, or the ratio of R1 to R2 is 2.5, the ratio of R1 to R2 is 4, or the ratio of R1 to R2 is 3.6. In case where the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is too small, although the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 can clean along the edge, from the perspective of practical testing, the intensity of the cleaning along the edge is insufficient, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is needed to implement cleaning along the edge at least two or more times.
Therefore, considering the effect of the intensity of the cleaning and no cleaning-missed case exists between the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022 within the limited space of the first region 103, for example, the ratio of R1 to R2 is 2 to 4 times, in case where the arrangement of R1 and R2 exceeds the range, one circumstance is the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is too small, the intensity of cleaning is insufficient, more times of cleaning along the edge is needed; another circumstance is the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is too big, the intensity of cleaning is sufficient, the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is difficult to project vertically within the first region 103, because the two main cleaning disks 2021 are disposed on the bottom of the body 10 in an axial symmetry way, the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 needs to project vertically on the bottom of the body 10, without extending beyond the edge of the body 10, so as to mount the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 on the botton of the body 10, on the one hand, ensuring that the inner cavity of the body 10 will not connect with the outside because the auxiliary cleaning disk 301 is disposed, ensuring that the stable operation of the first driving structure 302 and the second driving structure 201, providing a waterproof and dustproof function.
In case where the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 exceeds the edge of the body 10, the first driving structure 302 used for driving the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 cannot be disposed in the inner cavity of the body 10, an avoidance openning is needed to be disposed on the sidewall of the body 10, one part of the first driving structure 302 is disposed in the inner cavity of the body 10, the other part of the first driving structure 302 extends out of the body 10 through the aovidance opennning, resulting in the inner cavity of the body 10 is connected with the outside, the external water vapor, dust, garbage and other particles can enter the inner cavity of the body 10, affecting the electrical components inside the body 10, and affecting the stability of the movement of the first driving structure 302, resulting in a low lifespan of the produce and complex structure.
In order to choose a relative big radius of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, increase of the area along the edge of the auxiliary mop 3022, simultaneously, under the cooperation of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022, there is no cleaning-missed area between the cleaning area of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the cleaning area of the main mop 2022, and without changing the setting posstion of the main cleaning disk 2021, optimally, along the forward direction of the body 10, the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed in front of the rotation center of the main cleaning disk 2021, such that the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 distributes within the first reigon 103, which is disposed on the upper right of the main cleaning disk 2021 adjacent with the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, and the adjacent edges of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022 are tangent or pressed against each other or exist small amout of second interference region 906.
In other words, in two solutions of without setting the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and setting the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the layout of the main cleaning disk 2021, the driving wheel 801, the dust box chamber 108 and the rolling brush 403 on the bottom of the body 10 is same, without changing the layout of the main cleaning disk 2021, the driving wheel 801, the dust box chamber 108 and the rolling brush 403 on the bottom of the body 10, and without changing the size of the body 10, setting the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 within the first region 103, which is disposed on the upper right (or the top right corner) and the rear of the right side driving wheel 801, due to the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed in front of the rotation center of the main cleaning disk 2021, the first connecting line between the rotation center of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the rotation center of the main cleaning disk 2021 crosses with the second connecting line between the rotation centers of the two main cleaning disk 2021, as shown in FIG. 9, the second connecting line between the rotation centers of the two main cleaning disk 2021 is perpendicular to the middle line of the body 10 along the forward direction of the body 10, and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is disposed behind the right driving wheel 801, thus when the the adjacent edges of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022 are tangent or pressed against each other or exist interference region, the main cleaning disk 2021 is inevitably provided with the first part 901 mentioned above, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is provided with the second part 902 mentioned above, and the first part 901 is disposed behind the tangential line or compression line or interference strip region of the adjacent edges of the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022, during the process of cleaning, the trace lines formed by the tangential line or compression line or interference strip region on the floor can all be cleaned and covered by the main mop 2022 on the first part 901 of the main cleaning disk 2021, which is disposed at back, enhacing the cleaning effectiveness to the floor.
Therefore, within the limited first region 103 of the top right corner (or the upper right) of the main cleaning disk 2021, selecting the maximum radius for the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the cleaning area along the edge in one time is big, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 can possess the double fucntion of no cleaning-missed cases while achieving the cleaning function along the edge, no trace line remained on the floor, enhacing the cleaning effectiveness to the floor, and in the premise of without increasing the size of the base tray 101, the layout and the achieved function of the main cleaning disk 2021, the driving wheel 801, the edge brush, the rolling brush 403 and the dust box chamber 108 disposed on the base tray 101 is not affected, such that the arrangement of the structure on the bottom of the body 10 is compact.
In another implementation method, along the width direction of the body 10, the aforemetioned first connecting line and the second connecting line can overlap, that is the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is not disposed on the aforementioned upper right, the rotation centers of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the two main cleaning disks 2021 fall on the same straight line (i.e. the aforementioned first connecting line and the second connecting line overlaps), in this implementation method, the maximum width of the right side main cleaning disk 2021 and the space area of the right side edge of the body 10 is smaller than the area of the aforementioned first region 103 on the upper right of the main cleaning disk 2021, the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is small, although the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 can clean along the edge, the cleaning area along the edge is small, the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022 are tangent or pressed against each other or exist interference region between thereof, possessing the function of no cleaning-missed cases; due to the rotation centers of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the two main cleaning disks 2021 fall on the same straight line, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is not provided with the second part 902, the main cleaning disk 2021 is not provided with the first part 901, therefore, after the robot cleans, the trace line will exist on the floor, with respect to the aforementioned solution of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 disposed on the top right corner of the main cleaning disk 2021, the cleaning effectiveness is poor.
As shown in FIG. 9, both of the right corner edge and the left corner edge of the body 10 of the square-shaped machine are chamfer in an arc shape, the distance between the right side edge with the maximum width of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the right side edge of the body 10 is smaller, in case where setting the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 when the aforementioned first connecting line and the second connecting line overlaps (i.e. the rotation centers of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the two main cleaning disks 2021 fall on the same straight line), the diameter of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is selected to be smaller, the cleaning efficiency and the cleaning effectiveness is relative weaker.
In this implementation method, when the auxliary cleaning component is cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the pressure applied to the auxiliary cleaning disk is preferably 900 to 1500Pa, such as 900Pa, 950Pa, 1000Pa, 1100Pa, 1150Pa, 1200Pa, 1300Pa, 1400Pa, 1450Pa, 1500Pa.
When the rotational speed of the auxiliary cleaning disk and the main cleaning disk is same, due to the radius of the auxliary cleaning disk is smaller than the radius of the main cleaning disk, the linear velocity of each fiber on the small rag on the auxiliary cleaning disk is smaller than the linear velocity of the fiber on the big rag on the main cleaning disk, by increasing the downward pressure to the small rag and the auxliary cleaning disk, enabling that under the same linear velocity, on one hand, the frictional force of the small rag against the sweeping off of the stains, such that the stains can be removed more easily, so that the cleaning effectiveness of the small rag is increased; on the other hand, further increasing the deformation amount of the fibers on the small rag after compressed, such that the fibers on the small rag fully wrap around the stains, increasing the contact area between the fibers and the stains, and the cleaning solution can also soak the stains more fully, so that further enhacing the cleaning effectiveness of the small rag.
The stains in the blind area that cannot be cleaned by the main mop, due to the frequency of being cleaned is low, such that the stains in the area easiliy to change from easliy cleaned stains into stubborn stains, the solid-type stubborn stains or the solid-type stubborn stains formed from the stains used to be liquid after being dried and solidified, which contact and adhere to the surface of the object mainly relies on the intermolecular forces, the adhesive force mainly coming from van der Waals forces. Usually, the intensity of adhesion enhances with the time increases, and strengthens with the temperature of the air or the surface of the object incresas. Based on this, the stains in the blind area of the obstacles are cleaned in a low frequency in daily, over time, such that the stains in the area are more easliy to change from easliy cleaned stains into stubborn stains. In the embodiment of the present application, "blind area" refers to the gap or region formed between the main mop and the bostacle, which cannot be cleaned by the main mop when the cleaning robot moving along the predefined cleaning direction. For the consideration of collision avoidance, jamming prevention strategies, or fall prevention strategies, the cleaning robot needs to maintain predefined distance from the obstacles, when the cleaning robot performs cleaning tasks along the edges of obstacles, the cleaning frequency of the cleaning blind area formed is lower, the stubborn stains formed in the cleaning area will become more difficult to clean over time. In the embodiment of the present application, the obstacles can be solid objects that cannot be surpassed such as walls, furniture, appliances, etc., the obstacles can also be areas that are suspension and easy to fall such as suspension area, steps area, steep slopes area, pits area, etc.
Stubborn stains are usually removed by increasing the rotational speed of the cleaning disk in the existing art, to enhance the cleaning friction force to the stubborn stains, such that the stubborn stains is removed, but there is always a limit to the rotational speed of the auxiliary cleaning disk, the rotational speed cannot be infinitely increased. Moreover, the increasing of the rotational speed will bring the effects of higher cost, shorter endurance and a shorter lifespan of the rag tray, additionally, due to the small radius of the auxiliary cleaning disk, increasing the rotational speed does not significantly increase the linear vilocity of the auxiliary cleaning disk, or even if the rotational speed of the auxiliary cleaning disk is increased, the final linear velocity is still insufficient to clean such solid-type stubborn stains.
By increasing the downward pressure to the auxiliary cleaning disk, the cleaning friction force of the small rag (i.e. auxiliary mop) on the auxiliary cleaning disk to the stains is enhanced at first under the same linear vilocity, such that the stains can be cleaned more easily, thereby enhancing the cleaning effectiveness of the small rag to the stubborn stains; secondly, further increasing the deformation amount of the fibers on the small rag after compressed, such that the fibers on the small fully wrap around the stains, increasing the contact area between the fibers and the stains, and the cleaning solution can also soak the stains more fully, so that further enhacing the cleaning effectiveness of the small rag; the increased deformation of the small rag can increase the cleaning area of the small rag, such that the small rag can fit to the blind area such as wall corner even without external spreading or expansion, thereby also increasing the cleaning range of the small rag tray, enhancing the cleaning effectiveness. As shown in FIG. 31, control the downward pressure within the range of 900 to 1500Pa, not only the cleaning effectiveness is increased, but also the service life of the small rag tray can be controlled in an expected range. In case where the downward pressures is lower than 900Pa, the lifespan of the small rag is long, but the area cleaning rate will reduce; in case where the the downward pressures is higher than 1500Pa, the area cleaning rate of the small rag is high, but the lifespan is reduced, from the diagram, it can be observed that control the downward pressure to the small rag within the range of 900 to 1500Pa considering the downward pressure to the small rag, the area cleaning rate and the service life of the small rag comprehensively. In small optional embodiments, controlling the downward pressure to the small rag at around 1000Pa, such as 900Pa, 1000Pa, or around 1100Pa, whether the area cleaning rate or the service life of the small rag can both obtain better effect. The so-called area cleaning rate refers to the percentage of remaining stains in the cleaning area to the total stains in the cleaning area over a unit of time.
Increasing the pressure to the small rag is to achieve a more human-like operation at the same time. When dealing with stubborn stains during household cleaning, people tend to consciously apply pressure to the mop, in order to increase the pressure to the stains, thus achieving better cleaning effect. The pressure boosting function of the small rag is to simulate the opertation of pressing the rag when people is cleaning on one hand, thereby achieving a good cleaning effectiveness to the stubborn stains. On the other hand, in order to achieve a more intelligent cleaning from the software logic, the logical operation of pressure boosting for the small rag is designed to simulate to apply corresponding pressure to the mop according to the level of dirtness when humans are using the rag to implement the cleaning work, maximizing the cleaning efficiency. Deploying this software logic on the floor sweeping machine can avoid the traditional "carpet-style" repetitive cleaning to an extreme, and achieve planned and relatively "intelligent" cleaning.
From the perspective of industrial manufacturing and environmental protection, using small rag to enhance the lifespan of big rag, thus enhancing the service life of the mopping function of the whole machine entirely, such that the machine maintains a good cleaning effectiveness during the middle and later periods of long-term use, reduce the times of changing rag, thus reduces the carbon emissions of the lifecycle of the sweeping machine, protect the environment. The reduction in carbon emissions is because the rag of the sweeping machine can be made from polyester fiber materials, and the raw meterial for producing such fiber materials is generally from the petrochemical products, the processing of these products usually leads to higher environmental pollution and carbon emissions.
Due to the downward pressure of the auxiliary cleaning disk is enhanced, the small rag on the auxiliary cleaning rag can not only clean along the edge, but also can detect the stains on the floor when non-edge cleaning, in case where the level of the dirtness is bigger than the predefined value, the controller can control the main cleaning disk to ascend, the small rag of the auxiliary cleaning disk can implement the cleaning to the garbage or stains with a higher level of dirtness, such that the small rag not only achieves the cleaning along the edge, but also implements cleaning to the stains with a higher level of dirtness.
The rotational directions of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 on the right side and the two main cleaning disk are different, the corresponding cleaning effectiveness along the edge is different, specifically:
In the first implementation method, as shown in FIG. 19, in the mopping position, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side rotates along counterclockwise, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along clockwise, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along counterclockwise. That is the rotational directions of the two main cleaning disks 2021 are opposite, the rotational directions of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side are opposite. During the process of cleaning, due to the auxiliary mop 3022 rotates along counterclockwise, the auxiliary mop 3022 directs the garbage on the edge of the obstacle or by the side of the wall along the direction towards the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side continuously when mopping along the edge, such that the garbage moves to the first front region in front of the adjacent edges between the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 on the right side, due to there is a function of preventing cleaning-missed cases between the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022, thereby removing the garbage from the edge of the obstacle or by the side of the wall to the first front region, further enhancing the cleaning effectiveness along the edge.
In the second implementation method, as shown in FIG. 20, in the mopping position, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side rotates along counterclockwise, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along clockwise, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along clockwise. That is the rotational directions of the two main cleaning disks 2021 are opposite, the rotational directions of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side are same. During the process of cleaning, due to the auxiliary mop 3022 rotates along clockwise, the auxiliary mop 3022 directs the garbage disposed within the first front region which is disposed in front of the adjacent edges between the right side main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to the edge of the obstacle continuously when mopping along the edge; due to the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along clockwise, the main mop 2022 directs the garbage in front of the main mop 2022 to the first front region when mopping the floor, or the main mop 2022 directs the garbage within the second front region which is disposed in front of the adjacent edges between the two main mops 2022 to the first front region when mopping the floor, over a period of cleaning, the edge of the obstacle is easy to gather the garbage, the cleaning effectiveness along the edge of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is relatively reduced.
In the third implementation method, as shown in FIG. 22, in the mopping position, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side rotates along clockwise, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along counterclockwise, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along counterclockwise, that is the rotational directions of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side are same.
During the process of cleaning, similar to the first implementation method, due to the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along counterclockwise, the auxiliary mop 3022 directs the garbage on the edge of the obstacle or by the side of the wall along the direction towards the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side continuously when mopping along the edge, such that the garbage moves to the first front region in front of the adjacent edges between the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 on the right side, due to there is a function of preventing cleaning-missed cases between the auxiliary mop 3022 and the main mop 2022, thereby removing the garbage away from the first front region, enhancing the cleaning effectiveness along the edge; even if the garbage disposed within the first front region cannot be removed by the adjacent edges between the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 or by the aforementioned first part 901, the garbage is remained in the first front region; but because the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along counterclockwise, the main mop 2022 directs the remaining garbage within the first front region to the second front region between the two main cleaning disks 2021 continuously when mopping the floor, the two main mops 2022 possess the function of preventing cleaning-missed cases, thus the remaining garbage is further removed by the two main mops, further enhancing the cleaning effectiveness along the edge of the auxiliary mop 3022.
Compare with the first implementation method, the cleaning effectiveness of this implementation method is better, because in the first implementation method, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right rotates along clockwise, during the process of rotating of the main cleaning disk 2021, the main mop 2022 mops the floor, meanwhile the main cleaning disk 2021 and the main mop 2022 directs the garbage located in front of the main cleaning disk 2021 or the garbage within the second front region which is disposed between the two main cleaning disks 2021 to the first front region, increasing the difficulty or intensity of the cleaning of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 and the right side main cleaning disk 2021.
In this implementation method, due to the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along counterclockwise, the main cleaning disk 2021 and the main mop 2022 rotates to direct the garbage within the first front region to the second front region, due to the diameter of the two main mops 2022 is big, the cleaning ability and the function of preventing cleaning-missed cases of the two main mops 2022 are all stronger than the cleaning ability and the function of preventing cleaning-missed cases of the main mop 2022 on the right side and the auxiliary mop 3022, therefore the cleaning effectiveness along the edge in this implementation method is better under the cooperation of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021.
In the fourth implementation method, as shown in FIG. 21, in the mopping position, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side rotates along clockwise, the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side rotates along counterclockwise, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along clockwise. Similar to the second implementation method, during the process of cleaning, due to the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 rotates along clockwise, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 directs the garbage disposed within the front region which is disposed in front of the adjacent edges between the right side main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to the edge of the obstacle continuously when mopping along the edge, over a period of cleaning, the edge of the obstacle is easy to gather the garbage, the cleaning effectiveness along the edge of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is relatively reduced. But corresponding to the second implementation method, due to the cleaning disk on the right side rotates along counter clockwise, the garbage within the front region can be brought to the front region between the two main mops 2022 by the cleaning disk on the right side, and being removed by the two main mops 2022, the aforementioned second driving structure 201 is configured to drive the main cleaning disk 2021 to rotate on the body 10 to mop. The first lift structure is configured to drive the main cleaning disk 2021 to implement the ascending or descending motion, and achieving to switch between the lifting position and the mopping position. Each one main cleaning disk 2021 is correspondent to one set of the first driving structure 302 and the first lift structure.
The aforementioned first driving structure 302 drives the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to rotate to mop, the second lift structure is configured to drive the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to ascend or descend, so as to switch between the lifting position and the mopping position.
During the process of cleaning, the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 can be in the lifting position synchronously, and in the moppoing position synchronously, under the coopertation of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 mop synchronously, the main mop 2022 implements the non-edge cleaning, the auxiliary mop 3022 implements the cleaning along the edge, no cleaning-missed cases occur in the cleaning area of the the main mop 2022 and the cleaning area of the auxiliary mop 3022, enhancing the cleaning effectiveness.

Under the mode of preventing the non-edge cleaning, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is in the mopping position and easy to get caught by other objects or obstacles with the region to be cleaned, resulting in the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is easy to detach from the body 10, therefore, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is in the lifting position when in the non-edge cleaning; the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is in the mopping position when in the cleaning along the edge.
Under the mode of cleaning along the edge, the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 is in the mopping position, the main cleaning disk 2021 can be in the lifting position without mopping to clean, that is the main cleaning disk 2021 does not cooprerate with the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 when cleaning along the edge, relying solely on the main mop 2022 for cleaning, the cleaning effect is inferior compared to the cleaning effect achieved when both the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 are in the mopping position.
The aforementioned second driving structure and the first lift structure are the same structure, configured for driving the main cleaning disk 2021 to ascend, descend and rotate, to enable the main cleaning disk 2021 to switch between the lifting position and the mopping position, and to rotate in the mopping position, such that the driving structure is compact and occupies less space. Similarly, the aforementioned first driving structure and the second lift structure are the same structure, driving the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to ascend, descend and rotate, to enable the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to switch between the lifting position and the mopping position, and to rotate in the mopping position, such that the driving structure is compact and occupies less space. That is to drive the main cleaning disk 2021 or the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021 to ascend, descend and rotate by one motor.
The first driving structure 302 and the second driving structure 201 can adopt same structure, and can adopt different driving structure.
For example, the first driving structure 302 and the second driving structure 201 can both be spiral mechanism, the rotational direction when the main cleaning disk 2021 is descending is the same as the rotational direction during mopping; the rotational direction when the main cleaning disk 2021 is ascending is opposite to rotational direction when the main cleaning disk 2021 is descending.

To minimize the reduction of the volume of the water tank 501, there are multiple implementation methods for the set of the water tank 501, specifically:
In the first implementation method, as shown in FIG. 10, the pump body 502 is still disposed within the fourth region 106, the first tank body 503 is still disposed within the third region 105, the second tank body 504 is connected with the first tank body 503, and the second tank body 504 is distributed above the top of the dust exhaust channel 404, and extends towards the interior of the fourth region 106, part of the second tank body 504 can be disposed within the fourth region 106, the shape of the second tank body 504 changed, the thickness is reduced to ensure the water tank 501 to replenish water to the main mops 2022, and to replenish water to the auxiliary mop 3022.
In the second implementation method, in order to reduce the volume of the water tank 501, the pump body 502 is still diposed within the fourth region 106, the first tank body 503 is disposed within the third region 105, the second tank body 504 is distributed on the top of the housing of one second driving structure 201, for example, distributing above the housing of the second driving structure 202 on the left side, the second tank body 504 is disoposed near one side of the second region 104, facilitating the connection between the water tank 501 and the pump body 502, similarly, the shape of the second tank body 504 changes without reducing the volume. Furthermore, part of the second tank body 504 can cover above the dust exhaust channel 404, to increase the volume of the water tank 501, more easily to connect to the pump body 502.
Due to the water replenishing mechanism not only replenishes the water to the two main mops 2022, but also replenishes the water to auxiliary mop 3022, optimally, the second tank body 504 is distributed above the housing of the two second driving structures 201, to increase the volume of the water tank 501.
Furthermore, when the second driving structure 201 on the right side and the first driving structure 302 share a single motor for driving, the shared motor can be disposed within the fifth region 107, no motor is disposed on the second driving structure 201, the second driving structure 201 can reserve the space for the installation of the second tank body 504, to increase the volume of the water tank 501. Certainly, the second tank body 504 cannot be disposed above the left-side first driving structure 302, the second tank body 504 is only disposed above the right side second driving structure 201.
In the third implementation method, the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105, the water tank 501 is disposed within the fourth region 106, to ensure the volume of the water tank 501 not to reduce, to satisfy the requirement of the water supply.
Or, the second tank body 504 of the water tank 501 is disposed within the fourth region 106, the first tank body 503 of the water tank 501 is disposed within the third region 105, the volume of the first tank body 503 is reduced to reserve space for the pump body 502, such that the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105. For example, the pump body 502 is disposed within a sub-region, which is surrounded by the adjacent edges of the rear portions of the housings of the two second driving structures 201, and the rear sidewall of the body 10. Along the forward direction of the body 10, due to the sub-region encloses a concave region at the rear portion of the adjacent edges of the housings of the two second driving structures 201, the space of the sub-region formed by the concave region and the rear sidewall of the body 10 is big enough to accommodate a larger volume peristaltic pump. The first tank body 503 is disposed on the left side of the pump body 502, and covers above the dust exhaust channel 404, and connects with the second tank body 504 within the fourth region 106.
When the peristaltic pump is not adopted, replace with other water pump with a small volume, the water pump can be disposed within other sub-regions of the third region 105. For example, the pump body 502 is distributed within the sub-region, which is between the right side of the dust exhaust channel 404 and the rear sidewall of the housing of the left-side second drving structure 201, the rear sidewall of the body 10; or, the pump body 502 is distributed within the sub-region, which is between the rear sidewall of the housing of the right side second drving structure 201 and the rear sidewall of the body 10, correspondingly, the first tank body 503 covers above the dust exhaust channel 404 to connect to the second tank body 504.
In the fourth implementation method, as an alternative implementation method for the water tank 501 in the aforementioned three implementation methods, the water tank 501 cannot set the first tank body 503 and only set the second tank body 504.
specially when the water tank 501 is disposed within the fourth region 106, in the implementatioin method where the first tank body 503 is disposed within the third region 105, the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105, part of the first tank body 503 is needed to be disposed on the top of the dust exhaust channel 404 to connect to the first tank body 503, and inconvenient to connect to the two tank bodies, due to the space of the fourth retion 106 is big enough, when the pump body 502 is not set and the second tank body 504 is fully filled with the fourth region 106, the volume of the fourth region 106 is big enough to only set the second tank body 504, without setting the first tank body 503, and the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105 and is closer to the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022, facilitating the pump body 502 in conveying the solution to the liquid outlet at the bottom of the body 10.
Due to multiple hollow regions or hollow holes are set along the circumference direction of the mail cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the liquid outlet at the bottom of the body 10 is correspondent to the hollow region, the main mop 2022 is disposed on the bottom of the main cleaning disk 2021, the main mop 2022 covers the bottom of the hollow hole. During the process of rotation of the main cleaning disk 2021 and the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021, the liquid drops down from the liquid outlet passes through the hollow region and drops onto the main mop 2022 or the auxliary rag 3022, to replenish water to the rag. Three liquid outlets are disposed on the bottom of the body 10, respectively are the first liquid outlet, the second liquide outlet and the third liquid outlet, the first liquid outlet on the left side corresponds to the main cleaning disk 2021 on the left side, the second liquid outlet in the middle corresponds to the main cleaning disk 2021 on the right side, and the third liquid outlet on the right side corresponds to the hollow region of the auxiliary cleaning disk 3021.
That is, in the inner cavity of the body 10, without changing the layout of the dust box chamber 108, the dust box 401, the dust exhaust channel 404, the main fan 402 and the two second driving structures 201, on the base of without reducing the volume of the water tank 501, by changing the position of the water replenishing mechanism and the shape of the water tank 501 to reserve a position to the first driving structure 302, such that the first driving strucuture 302 is disposed within the fifth region 107, the water replenishing mechanism 50 can replenish water to the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022.
In the fifth implementation method, the water replenishing mechanisms share a single pump body 502, but the layout of the first tank body 503 and the second tank body 504 in the inner cavity of the body 10 is same as the four aforementioned implementation methods, the two tank bodies are independent, the first tank body 503 replenishes water to the auxliary rag 3022, the second tank body 504 replenishes water to the main mop 2022.
For example, the second tank body 504 is disposed within the fourth region 106, the first tank body 503 is disposed within the third region 105, the volume of the second tank body 504 is big, the second tank body 504 is configured to replenish water to the two main mops 2022, the volume of the first tank body 503 is small, the first tank body 503 is configured to replenish water to the auxiliary mop 3022, the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105, the first tank body 503 is distributed near the first driving structure 302, the pump body 502 is disposed between the first tank body 503 and the dust exhaust channel 404, the pump body 502 is connected with the first tank body 503 and the second tank body 504 through the pipe respectively.
Or, the number of the pump body 502 is two, respectively are the first pump body 502 and the second pump body 502, the second tank body 504 is disposed within the fourth region, the first tank body 503 is disposed within the third region 105, the first pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105 and is configured to connect to the first tank body 503, transfer the solution in the first tank body 503 to the third liquid outlet, to replenish water to the auxiliary mop 3022. The second pump body 502 can be disposed within the third region 105 or the fourth region 106 and connect to the second tank body 504, the second pump body 502 is configured to transfer the solution in the second tank body 504 to the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet, to replenish water to the two main mops 2022.
Another implementation mehod: by changing the exhaust duct of the main fan to reserve space for the first driving structure 302, for the installation of the first driving structure 302.
Specifically, the main fan 402 is disposed behind the dust box 401 and between the two second driving structures 201; the exhaust duct is not disposed behind the right side driving wheel 801, the exhaust duct is disposed within the region between the housings of the two second drving structures 201 and extends to the rear sidewall of the body 10 and connects with the exterior.

The second water tank 501 of the water replenishing mechanism 50 is dispossed within the fourth region 106, the second water tank 501 and the first water tank 501 are independent, the second water tank 501 replenishes water to the two main mops 2022, the first water tank 501 replenishes water to the auxiliary mop 3022. Due to the position of the exhaust duct changes, increasing the space of the fifth region 107, at least part of the first water tank 501 is disposed within the fifth region 107, but behind the the first driving structure 302, the pump body 502 is disposed within the third region 105, the number of the pump body 502 can be one, configured to replenish water to the main mop 2022 and the auxiliary mop 3022 respectively with the solution in the two tank bodies, in case where the number of the pump body 502 is two, respectively are the first pump body 502 and the second pump body 502, the first pump body 502 is configured to replenish water to the auxiliary mop 3022 with the solution in the first tank body 503, the second pump body 502 is configured to replenish water to the auxiliary mop 3022 with the solution within the second tank body 504.

Due to part of the auxiliary cleaning head extends beyond the buffer 70 and is disposed at the corner of the robot body, the auxiliary cleaning head protrudes beyond the buffer 70 in both the forward and width direction of the robot body, therefore, when the robot encounters an obstacle, the auxiliary cleaning head hits the obstacle before the buffer 70, after the auxiliary cleaning head is hitted, the auxiliary cleaning head is easy to be damaged, affecting the cleaning effectiveness along the edge; the auxiliary cleaning head may get stuck by the obstacle, preventing the buffer 70 from hitting the obstacle, the presence of the obstacle cannot be detected, affecting the planning of the cleaning path of the robot.
