In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, a management library of a cleaning robot and a cleaning robot system provided by the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view (partial perspective) of an embodiment of a management library for a cleaning robot according to the present application.

In this embodiment, the management library of the sweeping robot is used to manage the storage of the sweeping robot. The sweeping robot includes a mobile module 1 , a first functional module 2 and a second functional module 3 , wherein the first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 are detachably connected to the mobile module 1 , that is, the mobile module 1 carries the first functional module 1 . In the manner of a functional module 2 and a second functional module 3, the mobile module 1 is shared, which reduces the usage cost of the user. The first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 can be disassembled and replaced on the mobile module 1. Since the first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 have different functions, the mobile module 1 can switch between different functional modules, which improves the performance of the mobile module. The practicality of the sweeping robot. The above-mentioned first functional module 2 and second functional module 3 may have functions of cleaning, mopping, sterilizing and sterilizing. In other embodiments, the cleaning robot may further include three or four functional modules, and the functions of the multiple functional modules may be the same or different.

In order to manage and store the sweeping robot, the management library includes a box 4 and a maintenance module 6. The box 4 is surrounded to form a accommodating cavity 41, and the maintenance module 6 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 41 to monitor the functions of the sweeping robot. Module maintenance, such as dust removal for the sweeping function module, water supply and sewage drainage for the mopping function module. The maintenance module 6 includes at least two docking parts for docking with the functional modules, so as to realize the maintenance of the functional modules. When the first functional module 2 is docked with the first docking part, the first functional module 2 can be maintained, and the second functional module 3 can be docked with the second docking part to maintain the second functional module.

Specifically, in order to facilitate the entry of the first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 into the box body 4 , an opening 42 communicating with the accommodating cavity 41 is formed on the box body 4 , and the size of the opening 42 can meet the requirements of the first functional module 2 and The second functional module 3 enters the accommodating cavity 41 . That is, the first functional module 2 enters the accommodating cavity 41 from the opening 42 of the box body 4 and is docked with the first docking portion of the maintenance module 6 along the first direction, so that the first functional module 2 can be stored. The second functional module 3 enters the accommodating cavity 41 from the opening 42 of the box 4 .

Closing it makes the user look and feel better, and can ensure the security and stability of the entire management library.

By docking the first functional module 2 with the first docking portion in the first direction, and docking the second functional module 3 with the second docking portion in the second direction, the first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 can be stored together in the The box body 4 is docked with the maintenance module 6 from different directions, that is, the docking parts of the maintenance module 6 can be arranged in different directions, that is, the first direction and the second direction, which can make the layout inside the accommodating cavity more compact. And the function module is also easier to take out. In this embodiment, the docking parts of the maintenance module 6 are respectively arranged in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the first functional module 2 and the second functional module 3 are docked with the corresponding docking parts along the first direction and the second direction respectively.
