在一种实施方式中,清洁机器人200包括脱出机构,用于将擦拭板24脱出主体20并掉落。
在其他的实施方式中,清洁机器人200可以是具备单一拖地功能或具备单一吸地功能的清洁机器人或同时具备拖地功能和扫地功能。
基站100包括壳体10、存储模块、回收仓11、擦拭件更换模块和垃圾回收模块,壳体10用于容纳或部分容纳存储模块、回收仓11、擦拭件更换模块和垃圾回收模块,壳体10下部前端设置有出入口供清洁机器人200的至少部分机身进入壳体10内部。
存储模块用于存储连续的擦拭基材30,擦拭基材30的一端固定于转轴,以该一端为起点将擦拭基材30卷绕于转轴,擦拭基材30的自由端与擦拭基材30本体分割形成擦拭件,如图5所示存储模块包括安装架17,安装架17安装于壳体10内部,安装架17与卷绕擦拭基材30的转轴进行匹配,以使得转轴能够安装在安装架17上。
回收仓11用于存储擦拭件,尤其是存放更换后的擦拭件的脏回收仓,可选的,如图6所示回收仓11 设置于壳体10内的前部,设置于出入口上方,并可以从壳体10内部取出,以将回收仓11中的擦拭件集中清理出基站100;可选的,回收仓11露出壳体10的一面设置有可供用户打开的门结构,用户可以打开门结构,以将回收仓11中的擦拭件集中清理出基站100。
擦拭件更换模块用于传送擦拭件至回收仓11,并将擦拭基材30截断为擦拭件安装至擦拭板24,包括水平传送模块72、竖直传送模块71、获取模块73和安装模块74。
清洁机器人200安装有擦拭板24的一侧先进入基站100,并停靠在擦拭板维护位置,通过脱出机构将带有擦拭件的擦拭板24脱离主体20,并掉落在竖直传送模块71上,然后清洁机器人至少部分驶离基站100,让出空间给竖直传送模块71,带有擦拭件的擦拭板24置于擦拭板维护位置上,竖直传送模块71带动擦拭板24沿大致的竖直方向向上运动至与回收仓11大致平行的位置,获取模块73获取带有擦拭件的擦拭板24,并带动擦拭板24向回收仓11的方向旋转,水平传送模块72带动获取模块73及擦拭板24沿大致的水平方向向回收仓11运动,将擦拭件留置于回收仓11中,水平传送模块72带动获取模块73以及无擦拭件的擦拭板24沿大致的水平方向向擦拭基材30的自由端运动,获取模块73带动擦拭板24向擦拭基材30的方向旋转;在一种实施方式中基站100包括进给模块75,进给模块75将擦拭基材30的自由端传递至安装位置;安装模块74用于将擦拭基材30分隔成的擦拭件安装于擦拭板24上;水平传送模块72带动获取模块73和更换完新的擦拭件的擦拭板24返回至擦拭板维护位置上方,竖直传送模块71带动更换完新的擦拭件的擦拭板24返回至擦拭板维护位置,清洁机器人200再次停靠在擦拭板维护位置,拾取擦拭板24。
在其中一种实施方式中,擦拭基材30由若干个标准长度的擦拭件连接而成的,擦拭件之间的连接强度较小,如:在擦拭件之间设置多个断点,使擦拭件之间存在连接强度较弱的弱连接点,当弱连接点两侧受力进行拉伸时,擦拭件能够从擦拭基材30上分割出来。
在其中一种实施方式中,进给模块75将擦拭基材30的自由端传递至安装位置,并在擦拭基材30的弱连接点的一侧锁定;擦拭基材30安装于擦拭板24的过程中,对擦拭基材30自由端与擦拭基材30本体产生拉力,从而使擦拭基材30弱连接点一侧的擦拭基材本体与擦拭基材30另一侧的擦拭基材自由端分割,形成擦拭件。可选的,当擦拭基材30的自由端达到安装位置之后,安装模块74将擦拭基材30的自由端安装于擦拭板24,进给模块75反转,擦拭基材30的自由端随擦拭板24与擦拭基材30的本体产生拉伸,从而在弱连接点处与擦拭基材30断开。
垃圾回收模块用于抽吸清洁机器人200尘盒内存储的垃圾,在一种实施方式中垃圾回收模块包括对接尘盒的排尘口22的对接口411,与对接口411连通的进气管路41,与进气管路41连通的垃圾仓14,与垃圾仓14连通的排气管路42,以及与排气管路42连通并产生负压将尘盒内的垃圾抽出的风机4,优选的,壳体10上对应风机4的出风口设置有排气孔16,垃圾仓14内设置有一次性尘袋,例如可以是具备过滤功能的无纺布袋,当然也可以设置为具备过滤功能可拆卸清洁的尘盒,用于过滤和收集粉尘,当清洁机器人200返回基站100,清洁机器人200安装有擦拭板24的一侧先进入基站100,并停靠在抽吸位置,此时,尘盒的排尘口22与基站100底部的对接口411对接,风机4开始工作对尘盒内的垃圾进行抽吸,排尘口22在负压作用下处于打开状态,垃圾经过进气管路41进入垃圾仓14内设置的一次性尘袋并留置在一次性尘袋中。
因此,清洁机器人200相对基站100具有至少两个停靠位置,即擦拭板维护位置和抽吸位置,当清洁 机器人200停靠在擦拭板维护位置时,擦拭板24与竖直传送模块71对接,在清洁机器人200与竖直传送模块71之间完成擦拭板24的交接;当清洁机器人200停靠在抽吸位置,尘盒的排尘口22与基站100底部的对接口411对接,实现抽吸集尘,优选的,清洁机器人200停靠在同一个位置实现装卸擦拭板24和抽吸尘盒内的垃圾;进一步地,清洁机器人200停靠在同一个位置实现装卸擦拭板24、抽吸尘盒内的垃圾、充电以及自动将基站水箱内的水注入到清洁机器人200内部的水箱。
在其中一个实施方式中,进气管路41包括水平进气管路415和竖直进气管路414,水平进气管路415一端连接对接口并沿大致的水平方向铺设,另一端连接沿大致的竖直方向铺设的竖直进气管路414,竖直进气管路414的另一端连接垃圾仓14,优选的竖直进气管路414贴附于壳体10内左或右侧壁设置,或者壳体10的左和或右侧壁具有一定厚度,竖直进气管路414内置于左或右侧壁中,优选的如图3所示,水平进气管路415与竖直进气管路414可拆卸连接,水平进气管路415和或对接口411可以拆卸出壳体10内部,竖直进气管路414的另一端分别连接垃圾仓14以及可拆卸的连接有封堵结构413,封堵结构413可拆卸出壳体10,拆卸方向包括但不限于左右方向和前后方向,拆卸的方向也可以不限于水平方向,比如可以是沿大致垂直向上的方向从壳体10内部拆卸,或者采用旋转的方式从基站内部进行拆卸等,进气管路41设置为可拆卸的结构便于清洁防止堵塞,进气管路41的各结构处于连接状态时,整个进气管路41处于密闭的状态防止垃圾跑出连接处。
在其中一个实施方式中,基站100还包括水箱、水泵以及水流管道,水箱包括清洁剂箱13和清水箱12,用于通过水泵和水流管道注入清水或清洁剂至清洁机器人200的水箱中,当然水箱也可以设置为只存放清洁剂或只存放清水的单个水箱。
在其中一个实施方式中,壳体10上端开口并设置有端盖15,可以向上打开,擦拭基材、水箱和垃圾仓14可从上述开口中取出和装入,端盖15内表面设置有与垃圾仓14上端开口对应的密封件151,用于密封垃圾仓14。
在其中一个实施方式中,对接口411及擦拭板24放置的擦拭板维护位置在壳体10内部的前后方向上依次设置,具体的以出入口为前,如图2、图3、图4所示,水箱与垃圾仓14设置于回收仓11的上方,水箱呈大致的L型,风机4设置于L型水箱缺口的位置,排气管路42以大致水平的方向设置于水箱的后方,水箱、风机1和垃圾仓14在前后方向、左右方向上和垂直方向上都至少部分重叠,优选的水箱、风机4和垃圾仓14设置在同一高度,前后方向上重叠,并且左右方向上并排设置;竖直进气管路415沿壳体10内部的竖直边沿设置,如图5、图6所示,存储模块设置于垃圾仓14和水箱的后方,擦拭件更换模块设置于存储模块下方,如此设置可以最大化利用壳体10的内部空间,使壳体10内部结构更加紧凑,基站100更加小型化。
在其中一种实施方式中,基站100还包括有充电模块,用于为清洁机器人200充电。
基站100通过连续输出擦拭基材30,擦拭件更换模块将擦拭板24上的擦拭件传至回收仓11,并将擦拭基材30分割为擦拭件安装至擦拭板24,使得清洁机器人200能够在基站100内完全自动地实现擦拭件的更换;垃圾回收模块将存储在清洁机器人200尘盒中的垃圾抽吸出来,使得清洁机器人200能够在基站100内完全自动的实现尘盒的清理。本发明把对清洁机器人200的拖地维护和扫地维护集成在一个基站100中,也避免使用分别实现两个功能的清洁机器人200和基站100时占地面积过大以及成本过高的问题。
在现有的清洁机器人自动回归基站100充电的基础上,本方案中清洁机器人200自动回归基站100更 换擦拭件和清理尘盒。与传统的清洁机器人相比,清洁机器人200在抽吸和擦拭表面后不仅不需要用户更换擦拭件清理尘盒,也不需要用户对基站100和清洁机器人200有很多的干预。
