具体实施方式
在下文的描述中,给出了大量具体的细节以便提供对本发明更为彻底的理解。然而,对于本领域技术人员而言显而易见的是,本发明可以无需一个或多个这些细节而得以实施。在其他的例子中,为了避免与本发明发生混淆,对于本领域公知的一些技术特征未进行描述。
为了彻底理解本发明,将在下文进行详细描述,以便阐释本发明提出的提升清洁能力的清洁装置。显然,本发明的施行并不限定于本领域的技术人员所熟习的特殊细节。本发明的较佳实施例详细描述如下,然而除了这些详细描述外,本发明还可以具有其他实施方式。
清洁装置例如扫拖一体扫地机有三种不同的工作模式,单扫、单拖、扫拖同时进行,因此能适应不同的地面材质,是近年来最受欢迎的家庭清洁装置。传统扫地机的清洁件例如拖布,拖布类似毛巾,在拖地过程中由于吸附一定水分,碰到顽固的油污,比如厨房等地面,清洁效果有限,特别是室内气温比较低的环境效果更差。如何提高实际拖地效果是近年来清洁装置持续研究的方向。
目前主要通过以下方式提高清洁装置拖地效果,一是清洁件旋转或者直线运动过程中向地面直接施加一定的压力来提高清除效果;二是在给清洁件喷水的水箱中加一定的化学清洁液,清洁件在接触污渍过程中将清洁液分散到污渍中,从而改善清洁效果;三是在清洁件上施加一定的振动,模拟人清洁地面时的搓揉。四是给机器人自带水箱中的水加热,以通过加热强化清洁效果。
然而,上述方式都存在缺陷:方式一,由于例如扫地机器的清洁装置的重量大多不超过5KG,而向地面施加的力一般不能超过整机重量的某个比例,比如1/5,否则机器的清洁件位置会被顶高,影响机器人的行走。方式二中的化学清洁液是持续消耗品,增加了用户使用成本,化学制品影响环境和人体健康,此外,施加了化学清洁液以后的地面往往湿滑,机器人的行走轮容易打滑,从而影响机器行走轨迹。方式三中清洁件振动幅度非常小,对改善清洁效果有限。方式四中机器人自带水箱的水加热方式热效率低,对于使用电池的机器人来说,电能浪费严重。此外,上述方式拖地完成后也无法让清洁件自干以保持干燥。
为了解决前述问题中的至少一个,本发明提供一种清洁装置,包括:主机;拖地组件,拖地组件连接主机,其中,拖地组件包括:承载组件;清洁件,设置于承载组件上,所述清洁件用于对待清洁区域进行清洁;加热件,设置于承载组件上,用于对清洁件进行加热。
本申请可以实现清洁装置一边行走一边给清洁件加热的清洁方式,通过给清洁件加热, 清洁件能吸收加热件上的热量,使得清洁件具有一定的温度,在温度的作用下,增强了清洁装置清理污渍的能力,提高了清洁污渍的效果,从而提高清洁装置的清洁效果,并且还可以通过对清洁件的加热实现对具有水分的清洁件的烘干,防止清洁件发霉,提高其清洁性。
下面,参考图1至图10对本申请的清洁系统的结构进行解释和说明,其中,图1示出根据本发明一实施方式的清洁装置的局部结构示意图;图2示出根据本发明另一实施方式的清洁装置的局部结构示意图;图3示出根据本发明一实施方式的清洁装置的局部截面示意图;图4示出根据本发明一实施方式的清洁装置的局部截面示意图;图5示出根据本发明一实施方式的的清洁装置的局部立体结构示意图;图6为图5所示清洁装置的分解结构示意图;图7为图5所示清洁装置的平面剖视结构示意图;图8为图5所示清洁装置的局部立体剖视结构示意图;图9为图5所示清洁装置的局部分解立体剖视结构示意图;图10为图5所示清洁装置的局部分解结构示意图。

转向轮104例如可以为万向轮,或者其他适合的转向轮104结构。示例性地,转向轮104包括轮体和基座。转向轮104位于清洁装置10例如扫地机器人的前后直径的一端。在清洁装置10的底壳101的底部上设置有凹槽,基座安装在该凹槽内且可以在与基座的底面平行的水平面上旋转,轮体被安装在基座上并且可以在与水平面垂直的垂直面上旋转。基座大体具有圆形结构,轮体被偏心地安装在圆形基座上。例如,基座包括倾斜表面,倾斜表面相对于基座的底面倾斜并且与轮体相邻,从而在清扫期间,倾斜表面在轮体的前方以减少轮体对清洁装置10的运动所产生的阻力。
虽然在上述实施例中,清洁装置10例如扫地机器人只具有一个转向轮104,但在另外一些实施例中,清洁装置10也可以具有两个或者更多个转向轮104。例如,清洁装置10可以具有第一转向轮和第二转向轮,第一转向轮和第二转向轮位于扫地机器人的前后直径的一端并且相互间隔分开。
在一个示例中,清洁装置10还包括驱动组件,与主机10a可拆卸连接,且至少部分驱动组件设置于主机10a内,用于驱动清洁装置10在待清洁的表面行进,可选地,驱动组件包括驱动轮组件和驱动装置,驱动轮组件设置于主机10a的底部,驱动装置设置于主机10a内,驱动装置配置为:驱动驱动轮组件转动。可选地,驱动轮组件包括第一驱动轮组件1051和第二驱动轮组件1052,每个驱动轮组件都具有各自独立操作的驱动装置(例如电机)。
第一驱动轮组件1051和第二驱动轮组件1052被独立地安装在底壳101的底面横向直径的相对两端的凹槽中,横向直径与前后直径相垂直,通常转向轮104设置在前后直径上。由于两个驱动轮组件通过独立的电机驱动,能够为清洁装置10提供更宽范围的转向操纵,例如,急转弯、逐渐转弯和原地转弯等。将两个驱动轮组件安装在横向直径的两端为清洁装置10提供了更强的转向能力。

承载件的形状可以是圆形、扇形、方形或者其他任意适合的形状。例如如图2所示,当清洁机构200拖地组件可旋转地连接清洁装置的底壳101时,承载件可以为圆形,则清洁件可以对应为圆形。可选地,承载组件201的材质可以是任意适合的材质例如塑胶材质等。在一个示例中,连接部包括轴插头,承载组件通过轴插头可旋转地连接主机10a。可选地,连接部例如轴插头还可以是可插拔地连接主机10a。在一个示例中,当清洁机构200拖地组件可旋转地连接清洁装置的底壳101时,清洁装置的主机10a内还可以设置有用于驱动清洁机构200拖地组件旋转地驱动装置,例如电机等,以使得清洁机构200拖地组件可以旋转。

凸台213设置在侧周面212a上,凸台213相对侧周面212a沿垂直于插置单元212的轴向凸出一定长度,转轴110上开设有卡槽112,该卡槽112连通该容置腔111。当插置单元212收容在容置腔111时,凸台213与卡槽112配合,转轴110的下端与抵接面2112相抵接。故抵接面2112可以对转接件210的安装起到很好的限位作用。通过凸台213与卡槽112的配合,可以使得转轴110通过凸台213对整个转接件210施加扭矩,确保转轴110和转接件210两者同步转动。
凸柱211a与限位面2111连接,凸柱211a自限位面2111向清洁件203延伸,例如凸柱211a相对限位面2111向下凸出一定的长度,套筒211c环绕凸柱211a设置,使得套筒211c和凸柱211a之间形成滑动腔211e,承载件220包括滑动部222,滑动部222上开设有滑孔222a和配合槽222b,配合槽222b环绕滑孔222a设置。滑动部222与滑动腔211e滑动配合,凸柱211a与滑孔222a活动配合;也可以理解为滑动部222套设在凸柱211a上,而套筒211c则套设在滑动部222上。凸柱211a的横截面可以为多边形,而滑孔222a可以为多边形孔,使得凸柱211a只能在滑孔222a中滑动,防止凸柱211a在滑孔222a中产生转动,确保凸柱211a带动滑动部222同步转动,也即整个承载件220跟随转接件210 同步转动。弹性件230位于套筒211c与凸柱211a之间,具体地,弹性件230的一部分可以收容在该配合槽222b中,该配合槽222b可以对弹性件230起到限位作用,使得弹性件230抵压在该滑动部222和底板2110的限位面2111之间。滑动部222上可以套设密封圈,密封圈抵压在滑动部222和套筒211c之间,密封圈可以对滑动腔211e起到密封作用,防止外界粉尘和液滴侵入至滑动腔211e中。
凸柱211a上可以开设安装孔211d,止挡件211b可以为螺栓,螺栓穿设在滑动部222中并与该安装孔211d配合。在弹性件230的作用下,滑动部222将与螺栓的螺帽相抵压。因此,在滑动部222于滑动腔211e的滑动过程中,当滑动部222与限位面2111抵接时,限位面2111限定了滑动部222向上滑动的极限位置;当滑动部222与螺栓的螺帽抵接时,螺栓的螺帽限定了滑动部222向下滑动的极限位置,故止挡件211b和底板2110对滑动部222的上下滑动起到限位作用。鉴于滑动部222与滑动腔211e滑动配合,凸柱211a与滑孔222a滑动配合,止挡件211b穿过滑孔222a与凸柱211a连接,最终可以实现承载件220与及转接件210之间的滑动连接关系。

在一个示例中,承载组件201的承载件朝向待清洁区域的一侧设置有清洁件固定区,用于将清洁件和承载组件可拆卸地连接,可选地,清洁件固定区设置于加热件202的外侧或者还可以设置于其他适合的位置,例如导热板上。可选地,清洁件固定区可以设置有魔术贴,清洁件可以和魔术贴粘接,从而固定于承载组件201上。

进一步,处理器还可以用于获取传感器输出的感知信息,并根据感知信息在环境地图中建立清洁区域的地图。处理器还可以用于:获取用户通过用户终端的APP输出的对第一预定清洁区域的标记指令,并根据该标记指令在地图上对其进行相应的标记,或者,处理器还可以用于根据获取传感器输出的感知信息,并根据感知信息(例如传感器获得的房间或者地面的特征)自动在清洁区域的地图上标记第一预定清洁区域。其中,第一预定清洁区域可以是任意的需要加热件202开启以加热模式清洁的重点清扫区域,例如通常厨房的油污等比较重适合开启加热件202,那么第一预定清洁区域可以是厨房、具有污渍的地面、非地毯区域或者还可以是其他的任意需要清洁的区域位置或房间,传感器特别是视觉传感器可以辅助判断房间是厨房还是客厅,自动标记重点清洁区,甚至随着传感器发展,可以判断底盘污渍程度,灰尘传感器直接判断地面灰尘情况,从而重点清洁。
处理器构建地图的方法可以用拓扑图、几何信息或者栅格表示等任意适合的方法。拓扑图是一种紧凑的表示方法,当环境大而简单时,这种方法可将环境表示为一张拓扑意义 中的图。但拓扑图的分辨率决定于环境的复杂度,当环境中存在两个很相似的地方时,拓扑图很难确定这是否为同一个节点。
几何信息表示是将机器人提取的传感器信息抽象成几何表示,如直线、曲线等。这种表示方法形象、紧凑且方便位置估计和目标识别,但是它提高了对传感器采集信息的要求,需要额外的算法处理,并且需要一定数量的感知数据才能够得到结果。
栅格化处理是将整个环境分为若干相同大小的栅格,对于每个栅格指出其中是否存在障碍物。栅格地图很容易创建和维护,清洁装置所了解的每个栅格的信息直接与环境中某区域对应,使用超声波或红外线这样的廉价传感器即可获得创建地图的信息并加入地图中,借助该地图,可以方便地进行自定位和路径规划。
以采用栅格化处理的地图为例,当建立好栅格化处理的地图之后,确定该地图中的清扫区域。其中,该清扫区域不包含该地图中障碍物所在的区域。该清扫区域可以为完整的可清扫区域,也可以为该可清扫的区域中的一个部分,此处不做限制。根据该清扫区域,用户可以在清洁装置配置的APP上对重点清扫区进行特殊标记,也可以根据传感器获得的房间或者地面特征自动确定重点清扫区域,其中特别地,视觉传感器可以辅助判断房间是厨房还是客厅,自动标记重点清洁区,甚至随着传感器发展,可以判断底盘污渍程度,灰尘传感器直接判断地面灰尘情况,从而重点清洁。
当清洁装置进入重点清扫区(也即第一预定清洁区域)时,处理器用于:接收传感器输出的感知信息,以当根据感知信息确定清洁装置进入第一预定清洁区域时,控制加热件202启动,从而自动打开拖地组件的加热片,通过给清洁件加热,提高油污等污渍的清洁效果。以及处理器用于:接收传感器输出的感知信息,以当根据感知信息确定清洁装置离开第一预定清洁区域时,控制加热件202关闭,从而节省电池的电量,以使电池能够支持清洁装置工作更长的时间。
处理器可以通过对感知信息例如视觉传感器提供的图像或者视频等进行特征识别,并将特征和第一预定清洁区域的特征进行匹配,根据两者是否匹配来确定清洁装置当前所处的位置是否为第一预定清洁区域,当匹配时则进入,不匹配则未进入,或者,还可以通过感知信息中的位置信息和以标记的第一预定清洁区域的位置信息进行匹配,当匹配时则进入,不匹配则未进入。或者还可以通过其他的方式例如地磁感应的方式等,获取到清洁装置是否进入第一预定清洁区域。
在一个示例中,处理器还可以用于:当确定清洁装置进入或离开第二预定清洁区域时,控制加热件202关闭或者启动,第二预定清洁区域可以为任意的不需要开启加热件202的区域,例如地毯区域,当清洁装置进入地毯区域时,处理器自动控制关闭加热件202,从而可以节省电能。处理器可以根据传感器的感知信息确定清洁装置进入或离开第二预定清 洁区域,处理器还可以在确定清洁装置进入第二预定清洁区域时,控制清洁机构200拖地组件的升降结构将清洁机构200拖地组件升高,以使其不和地毯接触,还可以在清洁机构200拖地组件升高时,自动关闭加热件202。
在一个示例中,清洁装置包括通信接口和处理器,通信接口用于使清洁装置和用户终端通信连接,处理器用于:接收用户终端输出的开启或关闭加热件202的控制指令,以根据控制指令控制开启或关闭加热件202。
在另一个示例中,主机10a上设置有用于开启或关闭加热件202的按键,通过按键开启或关闭加热件202,例如通过该按键给连接加热件202和电池的控制电路输出控制信号,或者又例如该按键对应一个开关电路,通过该按键使开关电路导通或截止,以开启或关闭加热件202。
在一些实施例中,参阅图6、图7、图8和图9,清洁装置10还包括第一导电组件300、第二导电组件400和温控板500,第一导电组件300穿设在转动机构100中并与第二导电组件400电性连接,第二导电组件400固定在转动机构100内,温控板500设置在承载组件201上并与第二导电组件400电性连接,例如,温控板500可以为电路板,温控板500设置在导热板202b,温控板500可以对加热件202和导热板202b上的温度进行实时监测。
具体地,第一导电组件300穿设在转轴110中并用于跟控制主机电性连接,第二导电组件400包括上座410、下座420、顶针430和导电柱440,上座410和下座420均跟转轴110固定连接并位于容置腔111中。上座410和下座420层叠设置,上座410位于下座420的上方,顶针430穿设在上座410中,下座420包括基体421和接触体422,基体421与转轴110固定连接,基体421朝向上座410的表面上设置有接触体422,接触体422可以为环状结构。顶针430远离下座420的一端为上端,顶针430的上端与第一导电组件300电性连接;顶针430靠近下座420的一端为下端,顶针430的下端与接触体422电性连接。导电柱440穿设在基体421上,导电柱440靠近上座410的一端为上端,导电柱440的上端与接触体422电性连接;导电柱440远离上座410的一端的下端,导电柱440的下端与温控板500电性连接。因此,通过导电柱440、接触体422和顶针430的共同作用,从而实现温控板500与第一导电组件300的电性连接关系,鉴于第一导电组件300跟控制主机连接,最终可以实现温控板500和控制主机的电性连接关系,可以使得温控板500将温度信息反馈至控制主机。
第一导电组件300包括外套筒310、内套筒320和导线330,外套筒310固定在转轴110内,内套筒320转动套设在外套筒310之内,导线330穿设在内套筒320中并与第二导电组件400的顶针430保持弹性抵压关系,从而实现导线330和顶针430的电性连接关系,最终实现第一导电组件300和第二导电组件400两者之间的电性连接关系。在工作时, 第二导电组件400跟随转轴110产生同步转动,而内套筒320和导线330不会跟随转轴110转动,提高导线330和顶针430之间电性连接的稳定可靠性。
因此,当温控板500监测到发热丝和导热板202b的温度过高时,温控板500将该过高的温度信息反馈至控制主机,从而使得加载在加热件202上的电流合理降低。当温控板500监测到发热丝和导热板202b的温度过低,温控板500将该过低的温度信息反馈至控制主机,从而使得加载在加热件202上的电流合理增大。故通过设置温控板500,可以对加热件202和导热板202b的温度进行合理调节,进而对清洁件203的温度进行合理调节。
清洁件203可以采用布制品材料制成,清洁件203固定在导热板202b上,例如清洁件203可以通过魔术贴附着在导热板202b上,使得加热件202产生的热量通过导热板202b传导至清洁件203上。
在一些具体实施例中,温控板500可以包括温度传感器,用于检测清洁件的当前温度;控制主机可以包括处理器,控制主机还可以包括各种控制电路等,处理器还用于:接收当前温度,并当当前温度到达预设温度时,控制加热件202的加热功率以使当前温度和预设温度之间的温度差小于预设阈值温度,该预设温度可以是用户设定的任意的温度,例如,当通过加热组件202快速加热后,可以使加热件202保持在预设温度,但通常该预设温度是有波动的,因此,其可以在允许范围内波动,其中,预设阈值温度可以是任意适合的值,例如可以是0、0.1℃、0.2℃、0.3℃、0.5℃、0.8℃、1℃、2℃等。
值得一提的是,处理器还可以用于根据当前温度和预设温度之间的差值控制加热件202的加热功率,例如,差值越小功率越小,或者当当前温度高于预设温度时则可以控制关闭加热件202也即加热功率为0,而当当前温度低于预设温度且相差第一预设阈值范围时,则控制加热件202以第一加热功率加热,当当前温度低于预设温度且相差第二预设阈值范围时,则控制加热件202以第二加热功率加热,其中,第一预设阈值范围的数值大于第二预设阈值范围,则第一加热功率大于第二加热功率。
参阅图6、图7、图8和图9,下面接介绍清洁装置10的工作原理:
当齿轮120带动转轴110产生转动时,转轴110通过凸台213带动转接件210转动,从而使得整个清洁机构200跟随转轴110产生转动,当清洁件203与地面接触时,清洁件203将相对地面产生运动,从而使得清洁件203对地面上的污渍进行清除。鉴于清洁件203能吸收导热板202b上的热量,使得清洁件203具有一定的温度,在温度的作用下,使得清洁件203更容易对污渍进行清除,从而提高清洁装置10的清洁效果。通过温控板500的设置,可以对加热件202、导热板202b和清洁件203的温度进行合理调节,从而针对不同的污渍进行清洁,保持清洁装置10对不同的污渍均具有良好的清洁效果。同时,承载件220与转接件210滑动连接,使得清洁件203能跟随承载件220相对转接件210产生 上下滑动,也即清洁件203能够在限位面2111和止挡件211b之间所限定的行程内进行小范围浮动,并且在弹性件230的推动作用下,使得清洁件203能适用地面的形状并与其保持贴合,避免清洁件203无法接触污渍,如此同样可以提高清洁装置10的清洁效果。鉴于弹性体130与插置单元212形成卡扣连接关系,可以使得承载组件201和整个清洁机构200实现可拆卸连接关系,使得承载件220能够从转轴110上卸载,以便对清洁件203进行更换或维护。
应当理解,本发明实施例所描述的清洁装置只是示例性的,而非限制性的,根据需要,清洁装置也可以具有其他组件和结构。
本发明提供的清洁装置通过清洁件的旋转清洁地面可以单独或与其他清洁方式结合使用。
综上,根据本申请的清洁装置,例如厨房,任何某些污渍比较多的位置或房间,或用户划定的某个重点拖地区域,加热件可以由用户自动或者手动启动给清洁件加热,清洁件被快速加热并被大体保持在预设温度,机器人一边行走一边加热,通过给清洁件加热,增强了机器人清理污渍的能力,提高了清洁污渍的效果。当清洁装置离开第一预定清洁区域(也即重点清扫区)后,可以自动或由用户手动关闭加热件停止对清洁件加热,或当清洁装置进入地毯区域时,可以自动关闭加热件停止对清洁件加热,以节省电能。
除非另有定义,本文中所使用的技术和科学术语与本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施目的,不是旨在限制本发明。本文中出现的诸如“设置”等术语既可以表示一个部件直接附接至另一个部件,也可以表示一个部件通过中间件附接至另一个部件。本文中在一个实施例中描述的特征可以单独地或与其它特征结合地应用于另一个实施例,除非该特征在该另一个实施例中不适用或是另有说明。
本发明已经通过上述实施例进行了说明,但应当理解的是,上述实施例只是用于举例和说明的目的,而非意在将本发明限制于所描述的实施例范围内。此外本领域技术人员可以理解的是,本发明并不局限于上述实施例,根据本发明的教导还可以做出更多种的变型和修改,这些变型和修改均落在本发明所要求保护的范围以内。本发明的保护范围由附属的权利要求书及其等效范围所界定。
