本实施例中,基站200还包括用于检测存储空间215内的存储状态是否处于预设状态的存储状态检测模块以及用于发出表示存储空间215内的存储状态处于预设状态的提醒信息的提醒模块,控制模块根据存储状态检测模块的检测结果控制提醒模块向外界发出提醒信息。存储空间215内的存储状态是指存储空间215内是否有拖地模块和/或拖地模块的存储数量是否超过预设值等状态。预设状态为出厂或用户自定义的阈值状态,例如,可定义存储空间215内有拖地模块的状态为阈值状态,当存储状态检测模块检测到存储空间内有拖地模块时,控制模块控制提醒模块发出提醒信息;也可定义存储空间215内无拖地模块的状态为阈值状态,当存储状态检测模块检测到存储空间内无拖地模块时,控制模块控制提醒模块发出提醒信息;也可定义存储空间215内拖地模块数量达到预设值的状态为阈值状态,当存储状态检测模块检测到存储空间内拖地模块数量达到预设值时,控制模块控制提醒模块发出提醒信息,等等。
提醒模块可为发光报警装置、发声报警装置、及向外部发送所述提醒信息的无线发送模块等等。例如,提醒模块可通过发光报警装置发出对应的光或闪灯等,也可通过发声报警装置发出报警声音,也可通过无线发送模块向用户手机app、电脑、或其他移动设备发送提醒信息。
如图10至图11所示,存储空间215位于收容腔258上方,存储模块210括可打开和闭合的连通口2150,在连通口2150打开的状态下,存储空间215与收容腔258上下连通,在连通口2150闭合的状态下,存储空间215与收容腔258上下不连通。拖地模块310可通过连通口直接在存储空间215和收容腔258之间上下传递,以实现自动将基站200上干净的拖地模块310安装于清洁机器人,或者将清洁机器人100上拆卸的脏拖地模块310自动存储于基座200内的存储空间215。底板2531包括用于收容拖地模块310的收容槽,以便当拖地模块310自存储空间215移动到收容腔258时,收容拖地模块310,避免或减少拖地模块310突出于底板2531表面。
存储模块210包括分别用于存储脏的拖地模块210的第一存储单元211 和存储干净的拖地模块210的第二存储单元212,对应的,存储空间215包括用于存储脏拖地模块的第一存储空间2153和用于存储干净拖地模块的第二存储空间2154。连通口2150包括分别位于第一存储空间2153与第二存储空间2154下方,且可打开和闭合的第一连通口2151和第二连通口2152。第一存储空间2151与第二存储空间2152在水平方向上并排的位于收容腔258上方。对应的底板2531上具有收容脏拖地模块的收容槽和收容干净拖地模块的收容槽,一方面,可以对拖地模块进行限位,另一方面,也可避免拖地模块过于突出底板2531,而阻碍清洁机器人100移动。
收容腔258具有与外界连通以供清洁机器人100驶出和/或驶入的开口255,支撑部2532设置于基站200与开口255相对的一侧,使得清洁机器人100停靠时,清洁机器人100与存储模块210在水平面内的投影大致重合,使得基站200在水平方向上结构更紧凑,减小清洁机器人系统300整体的占地面积。充电端子位于支撑部2532或底板2531上,当然,在一些实施例中,充电端子也可位于存储模块210底部等位置,使得清洁机器人100的顶部与充电端子接触进行充电。清洁机器人100驶入基站200完成对接后,启动充电,充电结束后,清洁机器人100驶出基站200。在其他实施例中,清洁机器人100回归充电的方式还包括无线充电,充电模块包括发射线圈,清洁机器人100包括接收线圈,通过发射线圈和接收线圈的电磁感应为清洁机器人100进行充电。通过将充电模块设置于基站200上,其有益效果在于:基站200功能的集成化,使得基站200功能复用、结构紧凑。
存储状态检测模块360可为机械检测结构、也可为检测传感器等等。如图12至图13所示,以机械检测结构为例,存储状态检测模块360包括检测元件63、至少部分可活动的设置于存储空间215内以触发检测元件63的可活动件61。可活动件61包括用于触发检测元件63的触发部612、用于与拖地模块接触的接触部611及用于给可活动件提供回复力的弹性件613。当存储空间215内的拖地模块310对接触部611施加压力时,接触部611带动触发部612运动,以触发检测元件63状态的切换,又或者,存储空间215内的拖地模块310由有到无时,在弹性件的回复力作用下,带动触发部612运动,以触发检测元件63状态的切换。根据具体情况,控制模块可控制当检测元件63由未触发状态切换到触发状态时,控制提醒模块发出提醒信息,也可控制当检测元件63由触发状态切换为未触发状态时,发出提醒信息。可活动件 61设置于存储空间215内的内壁上,以便拖地模块310收容于存储空间215内时可对接触部611施加压力,触动可活动件61,进而触发检测元件63。上述检测元件63可为光电开关或微动开关等等。本实施例中,通过机械检测结构检测存储空间内的存储状态,避免受到灰尘或外界环境或其他结构的干扰,检测结构准确且成本低。
当存储模块210包括分别用于存储脏的拖地模块210的第一存储单元211和存储干净的拖地模块210的第二存储单元212时,第一存储单元211与所述第二存储单元212分别包括所述存储状态检测模块360。如图13至图13所示,第一存储空间2153与第二存储空间2154内分别设有可活动件61,基站上设有两个与可活动件61对应的检测元件63。
具体的,基站200的第二存储单元212包括存储状态检测模块360,能够检测当前第二存储单元212内拖地模块310的状态并向用户发出提醒信息。例如,当检测第二存储单元已没有拖地模块310,提醒用户及时增加拖地模块,防止影响基站200工作稳定性。同样的,第一存储单元211也包括存储状态检测模块360,检测第一存储单元211内所放置的拖地模块310达到预设值、或检测第一存储单元211内拖地模块存放时间已到达预设值,向用户发出处理拖地模块310的提醒信息,例如,当拖地模块310的数量大于或等于预设值时,向用户发出处理拖地模块310的提醒信息。上述预设值可出厂即设定好,也可根据用户需求自行设定。
基站发出提醒信息的方式包括,基站与移动设备(例如手机、电脑、I PAD等)通信,以向用户发出提醒信息,提醒用户及时清理基站,或提醒用户增加拖地模块。在其他的实施例中,基站包括指示器,能够通过指示器发出光、声音等方式提醒用户对基站进行相应操作。
在另一实施例中,如图9所示,存储状态检测模块360可为光电传感器,光电传感器包括发射端和接收端,发射端与接收端的连线经过存储空间215,以检测存储空间215内的存储状态。光电传感器可用于检测存储模块210内拖地模块310的数量(数量包括零),可以用于判断第一存储空间2153内拖地模块310已装满,以及用于判断第二存储空间2154内已无拖地模块310。第一存储空间2153内放置的是从清洁机器人100主体分离的拖地模块310,第二存储空间2154内放置的是供清洁机器人100安装的拖地模块310,当第一存储空间2153内已装满拖地模块310,或者第二存储空间2154内已无拖 地模块310可供清洁机器人100安装时,基站发出相应的提示指令。
发射端可设置于存储空间一侧,接收端设置于存储空间另一侧相对应的位置,当发射端发射的信号能够被接收端接收到时,表示发射端和接收端之间没有阻挡物。若需要检测第一存储空间2153是否装满拖地模块310,在第一存储空间2153顶端的一侧安装光电传感器发射器,另一端安装光电传感器接收器,若第一存储空间2153内装满拖地模块310,当发射器发射信号时,由于该信号被第一存储空间2153顶端的拖地模块310阻断,接收器无法接收到该信号,据此判断第一存储空间2153内已装满拖地模块310。以及,若需要检测第二存储空间2154内是否还有可供清洁机器人100更换的拖地模块310,在第二存储空间2154底部的一侧安装光电传感器发射端,另一侧相对应的位置安装接收端,若第二存储空间2154内已无供安装的拖地模块310,当光电传感器发射端发射出信号后,由于没有中间的拖地模块的阻挡,接收端能够接收到该信号,据此判断第二存储空间2154内已没有可供清洁机器人100安装的拖地模块310。在其他的实施例中,光电传感器可以安装于其他位置,例如若需要判断存储空间215内拖地模块310的数量为小于2,则可以在存储模块210内第二块拖地模块叠放的位置安装光电传感器,接收端检测不到信号就说明存储模块内拖地模块310的数量大于等于2,否则,说明存储模块内拖地模块310的数量小于2。
当然,在其他实施例中,存储状态检测模块还可为霍尔传感器、红外传感器、干簧管等等。
本实施例中,清洁机器人100能够在基站200自动更换拖地模块。如图5至图6所示,拖地模块310可拆卸地安装至清洁机器人100,图5示出了清洁机器人100未安装拖地模块310的状态,图6示出了清洁机器人100已安装拖地模块310的状态,已安装拖地模块310的清洁机器人100能够在工作区域内行走并执行清洁工作。在本实施例中,清洁机器人100还包括连接组件120,清洁机器人100能够通过连接组件120自动地将拖地模块310安装于清洁机器人100,以及通过控制单元控制连接组件120从而将拖地模块310与清洁机器人100本体分离。在本实施例中,参图7-8,连接组件120包括机架121,机架121与清洁机器人100主体连接;隔板122,通过隔板122连接拖地模块310至清洁机器人100主体。在本实施例中,连接组件120包 括磁性元件,通过磁性作用将拖地模块310连接至清洁机器人100主体。在本实施例中,连接组件120能够响应控制单元的控制信号调节拖地模块310距离地面的高度。在本实施例中,当清洁机器人100需要安装拖地模块310时,控制单元控制连接组件120降低以接近拖地模块310,连接组件120上的磁性元件和拖地模块310上的磁性元件314接近从而互相吸引,拖地模块310因此被连接至清洁机器人100主体。在本实施例中,当需要将拖地模块310与清洁机器人100本体分离时,控制单元控制连接组件120抬升,连接组件120还包括顶杆123,顶杆123对拖地模块310产生向下的压力,使得拖地模块310与清洁机器人100主体分离。在本实施例中,在执行清洁工作时,拖地模块310接触地面以对表面执行清洁工作,在不执行清洁工作的场景中,例如回归充电、回归更换拖地模块等场景中,抬升拖地模块310,避免拖地模块310接触地面以防止已经变脏的拖地模块310污染已经清理过的工作表面。通过设置连接组件120,其有益效果在于,使得拖地模块310自动地连接至清洁机器人100主体,以及将拖地模块310自动地与清洁机器人100主体分离,该设计能够有效减少清洁机器人100工作中人工的参与。
基站200包括能够使拖地模块310运动的传递模块,以将存储模块210中的拖地模块310传递给清洁机器人100供安装,或将从清洁机器人100主体分离的拖地模块310传递给存储模块收纳。该机器人清洁系统还包括控制单元,控制基站的传递模块工作,以及控制基站上传感器的工作,可选的,控制单元位于基站200和清洁机器人100的至少其中之一上。以及,该机器人清洁系统300还包括适于与基站200和清洁机器人100配合使用的拖地模块310,图4是本实施例的一种拖地模块310的设计,该拖地模块310包括背板311,背板311适于连接拖布312,拖地模块310上设置有缺口313,其中,拖布312既可以是普通拖布,也可以用湿巾、海绵擦等常用手段替换,背板311包括吸附元件,具体的,该吸附元件包括磁性元件,能够通过磁性作用与清洁机器人100连接以及被基站200收纳。在本实施例中,拖布312连接于背板311且边缘略微超出背板311,也就是说,拖布312的尺寸大于背板311的尺寸,通过设置拖布312的尺寸略微大于背板311的尺寸,使得当清洁机器人100需要清洁边角地区时,例如清洁墙缝时,拖地模块310能够更好的与清洁表面接触,尤其是对墙边的竖直表面有较好的清洁效果,从 而对边角地区保证较好的清洁效果。在其他实施例中,拖地模块310的安装方式还可以包括凹槽卡接、黏附等其他本领域常见手段,同时,相应的清洁机器人100安装拖地模块设计和基站200收纳拖地模块的设计也发生相应变化。
基站200的传递模块包括拖地模块收集单元,用于收集从清洁机器人100主体分离的拖地模块310,传递模块还包括拖地模块提供单元,用于向清洁机器人100提供供清洁机器人100更换的拖地模块310。以及,基站200的存储模块包括第一存储单元211,以及第二存储单元212。其中,第一存储单元211与拖地模块收集单元配合以将从清洁机器人100主体分离的拖地模块310收集至第一存储单元211;第二存储单元212与拖地模块提供单元配合以将存储在第二存储单元212的拖地模块310通过拖地模块提供单元传递给清洁机器人100供安装。基站200包括供清洁机器人100放置分离的拖地模块310和供机器人安装拖地模块310的操作位置250,进一步的,操作位置250包括清洁机器人100放置分离的拖地模块310的第一操作位置251和清洁机器人100安装拖地模块310的第二操作位置252。具体的,清洁机器人100驶入基站后到达操作位置,清洁机器人100上安装拖地模块的部位与基站200上的操作位置相对应,具体的,当清洁机器人100到达第一操作位置251时,清洁机器人100将安装于主体的拖地模块310分离并将其放置于第一操作位置251,当清洁机器人到达第二操作位置252时,清洁机器人100将放置于第二操作位置252的拖地模块310安装至清洁机器人100主体。具体的,操作位置250包括一个操作区域,该区域可以用于放置拖地模块310,以及该区域可以用于供清洁机器人100分离拖地模块和/或清洁机器人100安装拖地模块,具体的,第一操作位置251包括第一操作区域,机器人100驶入基站到达该第一操作区域后,将安装于机器人主体的拖地模块310分离并放置于第一操作区域,该第一操作区域可以叠放一个以上拖地模块,以及,第二操作位置252包括第二操作区域,机器人驶入基站到达该第二操作区域后,将放置于第二操作区域的拖地模块310安装于清洁机器人主体,具体的,第二操作区域可以放置一个及以上拖地模块310,也就是说,基站200的操作位 置包括操作区域,拖地模块310可以放置于该区域,且清洁机器人100能够在该区域完成对清洁机器人100的拖地模块的更换。在本实施例中,第一存储单元211和第二存储单元212并行设置,参图10,具体的,第一存储单元211与第二存储单元212底面大致位于同一平面。具体的,第一存储单元211用于存储从清洁机器人100分离的已经使用过的脏拖地模块310,第二存储单元212存储干净拖地模块310以供清洁机器人100安装。具体的,参图10,第一存储单元211、第二存储单元212分别可存储多块拖地模块310,且多块拖地模块310叠放设置。具体的,第一存储单元211和第二存储单元212的容量大致相同,能够容纳的拖地模块数量大致相同。在本实施例中,存储模块210设置于操作位置250的竖直方向上,具体的,存储模块210设置于操作位置的上方,使得存储模块在水平面的投影大致覆盖操作区域在水平面的投影,当清洁机器人100驶入基站200时,清洁机器人100顶部与基站200存储模块底部在竖直方向上的距离小于等于50MM。在本实施例中,第一存储单元211的位置与基站底板的清洁机器人100第一操作位置251对应设置,具体的,第一存储单元211设置于第一操作位置251的竖直方向上,更具体的,第一存储单元211设置于第一操作位置251的竖直方向的上方,使得第一存储模块在水平面的投影大致覆盖第一操作位置在水平面的投影。在本实施例中,第二存储单元212的位置与基站底板的清洁机器人100第二操作位置252对应设置,具体的,第二存储单元212设置于第二操作位置252的竖直方向上,更具体的,第二存储单元212设置于第二操作位置252的竖直方向的上方。在其他的实施例中,存储模块210也可以位于操作位置的下方,当清洁机器人100行驶至操作位置分离拖地模块时,传递模块通过自上而下的运动将从清洁机器人主体分离的拖地模块310收集至存储模块,以及,当清洁机器人需要安装拖地模块时,传递模块通过自下而上的运动将拖地模块传递给清洁机器人以供安装。在本实施例中,清洁机器人100回归基站200更换拖地模块310时,驶入基站200到达第一操作位置251,控制单元控制拖地模块310与清洁机器人100分离;第二操作位置252相对于清洁机器人100进站方向位于第一操作位置251前方,当清洁机器人100到达第一操作 位置251后继续向前行驶,到达第二操作位置252,清洁机器人100在此处安装拖地模块310。在本实施例中,第二存储单元212相对于清洁机器人100进站的方向设置于第一存储单元211前部,因此,清洁机器人100在进站时,能够先接近第一存储单元211,后接近第二存储单元212。本实施例这样设计的好处在于,传递模块包括拖地模块收集单元,清洁机器人100在工作表面执行清洁工作,拖地模块310持续与工作表面接触,经过一段时间的工作之后,拖地模块310变脏,需要进行更换,通过对基站200设置拖地模块收集单元,清洁机器人100的拖地模块变脏以后能够自行回归基站200进行更换,防止已经变脏的拖地模块310继续污染工作表面。清洁机器人100自动将拖地模块310与清洁机器人100主体分离后,通过拖地模块收集单元自动地拾取被分离的脏的拖地模块,并将其收集至存储模块210的第一存储单元211,从而实现对脏的拖地模块的收纳,通过对脏的拖地模块的收纳,使工作表面整洁有序。进一步的,传递模块包括拖地模块提供单元,通过设置该拖地模块提供单元,清洁机器人100在工作一段时间后拖地模块310变脏,能够及时获取新的拖地模块进行更换,减少人工的工作。通过设置拖地模块提供单元,当清洁机器人100将使用过的脏的拖地模块310分离后,需要安装干净的拖地模块310以继续执行清洁工作,基站200能够自动地将存储模块210中存储的干净的拖地模块310取出,供清洁机器人100安装,使得清洁机器人100始终可以自动地通过基站200获取干净的拖地模块310,以在工作表面自动地持续地执行清洁工作。进一步的,通过设置拖地模块收集单元,基站200能够自动收集从清洁机器人100主体分离的使用过的脏的拖地模块,通过设置拖地模块提供单元,基站能够向清洁机器人100提供至少一个干净的拖地模块供安装,这样的设计使得基站200能同时实现收集从清洁机器人100分离的脏的拖地模块310进行收纳,和向清洁机器人100提供干净的拖地模块310供安装的功能,当清洁机器人100需要更换拖地模块310时,先通过连接组件分离连接至机器人主体的拖地模块310,基站200的拖地模块收集单元对该拖地模块进行收集,并存放至第一存储单元;当清洁机器人100已将使用过的脏的拖地模块310分离后,需要安装干净的拖地模块,通过拖 地模块提供单元自动地从第二存储单元取出干净的拖地模块,供清洁机器人100安装,从而使得清洁机器人100既能自动分离脏的拖地模块并进行有序收纳,以及自动安装干净的拖地模块310以持续在工作表面执行清洁工作。同时,清洁机器人100在更换拖地模块310时,清洁机器人100的操作位置与基站200的存储模块210在竖直方向上对应,清洁机器人100在与基站200配合更换拖地模块310时,传递模块使得拖地模块310在竖直平面内运动,使得基站200的结构较为紧凑,且拖地模块310的运动路径较短。
存储模块210中能够存储多个拖地模块310,具体的,在本实施例中,存储模块210大约能存储10个拖地模块310。通常,拖地模块310包括一次性拖布和可水洗拖布,本实施例中的清洁机器人系统300能够兼容一次性拖布和可水洗拖布,存储模块210能够存储一次性拖布和可水洗拖布。在一个实施例中,为了使得存储模块210能够同时兼容一次性拖布和可水洗拖布,需要对存储模块210本身的设计做一些改进,以使得存储模块210在实现对拖布的兼容的情况下,依然能够保证较好的工作稳定性。具体的,增大存储模块210长度方向和宽度方向的间隙,使得较大尺寸的拖地模块也能够与存储模块210配合,以及当存储单元210内放置多个拖地模块310时,拖地模块310边缘可能会叠起,通过对增大存储单元210的内部间隙,保证了存储模块210存放拖地模块310的能力。当存储模块210两侧具有间隙时,意味着存储模块210的内部空间大于拖地模块310的实际尺寸,通常来说,存储模块210的中心区域正好对准操作位置,使得拖地模块能够较为准确的放置于相应的操作位置,所以,将拖地模块310存放至存储模块时,也要使得拖地模块310尽量放置于存储模块210中心区域。具体的,第二存储单元212中存储待更换的拖地模块310,当清洁机器人100需要更换拖地模块时,第二存储单元212将一个拖地模块310提供至第二操作位置252供清洁机器人安装,具体的,若要使得该拖地模块310准确放置于第二操作位置,需要使得第二存储单元212中的拖地模块310从中间区域掉落。具体的,挡片伸缩机构与拖地模块310接触的接触部设置成斜面,拖地模块310与该接触部接触的部分也设计成与之相对应的斜面,该斜面接触部能够对拖地模块施加向第二存储单元212中间区域运动的力,使得拖地模块310在两侧伸缩机构的作用下尽量向中间移动,尽量处于第二存储单元212的中间区域。在其他的 实施例中,该挡片伸缩机构的接触部也可以设计成其他形状,只要能使得拖地模块310受到使其向第二存储单元212中心区域移动的力即可,可理解的,拖地模块310上与之接触的位置也进行相应的改变。
在本实施例中,清洁机器人100还包括位置检测传感器,当位置检测传感器判断清洁机器人100到达第一操作位置251,此时控制单元控制连接组件120运动,使得拖地模块310与清洁机器人100主体分离,拖地模块310在拖地模块收集单元的作用下运动以将拖地模块310收集至第一存储单元211;拖地模块提供单元从第二存储单元212取出拖地模块310,拖地模块310在拖地模块提供单元的作用下运动以将拖地模块310提供给清洁机器人100供安装,当位置传感器判断清洁机器人100到达第二操作位置252,控制单元控制连接组件120运动以安装拖地模块310。一实施例中,以位置检测传感器为磁检测传感器为例,例如霍尔传感器,清洁机器人100通过检测设置在基站200上的磁性元件来判断其与基站200之间的相对位置。例如,当清洁机器人100检测到设置于基站200上的第一磁铁时,判断清洁机器人100到达第一操作位置251;当清洁机器人100检测到设置于基站200上的第二磁铁时,判断清洁机器人100到达第二操作位置252。
以上实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。因此,本发明专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
