- the middle guide surface of the multiple guide surfaces 1323 has a moderate chord length greater than its height, resulting in a moderate radius of curvature, ensuring that the structural strength and obstacle-crossing ability of the guide surface meet the requirements.
- the bottom guide surface of the multiple guide surfaces 1323 has a smaller chord length than its height, resulting in a smaller radius of curvature and a steeper guide surface, reducing the contact area between the guide surface and obstacles and enhancing obstacle-crossing ability.

以下,介绍本申请实施例中行走轮机构的具体工作原理。
清洁设备的正常工作状态:驱动单元31(舵机)的驱动角度为第一预设角度的情况下,在抵接滑轮21与抵接压板11抵接的情况下,凸轮2远心端上的抵接滑轮21与抵接压板11的倾斜面111抵接;在通过凸轮2的曲率表面直接与抵接压板11抵接且抵接压板11有且仅有水平面112的情况下,凸轮2的近心端与抵接压板11抵接;此时,行走轮组件1与第二外壳5之间的高度差最小,以便于清洁设备保持平衡以及正常工作;优选的,第一预设角度为0°。

此外,还可以在驱动单元31(舵机)的驱动角度为第三预设角度的情况下,调整行走轮组件1与第二外壳5之间的高度差,第三预设角度位于第一预设角度以及第二预设角度之间,实现清洁设备能够基于不同驱动单元31的驱动角度进行不同高度的底部抬升;优选的,0°<第三预设角度<90°。
本申请实施例中的行走轮机构具备如下有益效果:
通过将驱动组件3与第一外壳4固定连接,凸轮2与行走轮组件1抵接以及行走轮组件1与第二外壳5沿高度方向滑动连接,从而能够在驱动组件3的驱动下,凸轮2发生转动,从而在抵接力的作用下,行走轮组件1相对第二外壳5滑动改变行走轮组件1与第二外壳5之间的高度差,进而改变清洁设备机身与地面之间的距离,以满足清洁设备的不同工作场景的需求,即提高行走轮机构的灵活性,提高了清洁设备的工作灵活性。
通过设置凸轮2以及驱动组件3即可实现行走轮组件1与第二外壳5之间的高度差变化,避免了采用丝杠等复杂结构,进而简化了清洁设备底部变化的机械结构,进而降低行走轮机构的制造成本。
越障的关键是有效伸出,这反映在行走部件与机身的重叠度上需要具有有效改变。
本申请的设计思路是:通过检测行走轮安装座在第二外壳上的投影与第二外壳的重叠度,判断行走轮机构件的伸缩状态,保证了检测精度。
基于上述设计思路,本申请实施例提供了一种行走轮机构。参考图12、图14、图15、图16和图17,行走轮机构安装于清洁设备的机身6,行走轮机构包括行走轮组件1,行走轮组件1包括:行走部件16。行走部件16相对于机身6可伸缩地可在第一位置和第二位置之间移动或切换,沿行走部件16
的高度方向,第一位置位于第二位置的下方。
所述行走部件16与所述机身重叠的区域在所述行走部件中的占比即重叠度,在所述行走部件16在第一位置和第二位置之间切换时,重叠度变化量大于1%,优选大于5%,更优选大于10%、大于20%或大于30%。
优选地,沿所述机身的行进方向,所述行走部件在所述机身上的投影与所述机身的重叠度变化量大于1%,优选大于5%,更优选大于10%、大于20%或大于30%。
其中,在行走部件16位于第一位置时,沿机身6的行进方向,行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度小于或等于95%,大于或等于0;
优选地,所述行走轮安装座的前侧的上部的与所述机身至少具有部分重叠区域,即最小重叠度大于或等于0,优选≥1%。
更优选地,所述行走轮安装座的上部的各个位置均与所述机身至少具有部分重叠区域,即最小重叠度大于或等于0,优选≥1%。
从而保证至少所述行走轮安装座的前侧与机身具有重叠区,从而有效引导越障;比如:在接触到障碍物时,可以更好地抬升。
在行走部件16位于第二位置时,沿机身6的行进方向,行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度大于或等于60%,小于或等于98%,优选小于90%,从而一方面保证有效缩回机身内部,使清洁设备的刷子、拖布等清洁元件接触地面保证正常清扫,并为更好地伸出提供变化空间(保证具有较大的重叠度变化量),且保证正常的行驶及导向功能。
本申请实施例提供的行走轮机构,其行走部件16伸缩式地与机身6连接,并可在第一位置和第二位置切换,沿行走部件16的高度方向,第一位置位于第二位置的下方,通过行走部件16的伸缩,可以改变行走轮组件1与机身6之间的高度差,进而改变清洁设备机身6与地面之间的距离,以满足清洁设备的不同工作场景的需求,即提高行走轮机构的灵活性,提高了清洁设备的工作灵活性。
此外,还可通过检测对行走轮安装座在机身上的投影与机身的重叠度的检测,判断行走轮安装座伸出与缩回,以避免测量结果受到外界环境干扰,保证了检测结果的动作的可靠和准确。当未检测到有高度障碍物时,此时,清洁设备是正常清扫模式,行走部件16呈缩回状态,使得行走部件16位于第二位置,在行走部件16位于第二位置时,沿机身6的行进方向,检测行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度,若检测行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度大于或等于第一阈值,比如:60%,则判断行走部件16缩回到位。当检测到有高度障碍物时,此时,清洁设备是越障模式,行走部件16由缩回状态变为伸出状态,使得行走部件16位于第一位置,在行走部件16位于第一位置时,沿机身6的行进方向,检测行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度,若行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6小于或等于第二阈值,比如40%,则判断行走部件16伸出到位。
此外,也可以通过重叠度变化量(比如:第一阈值与第二阈值的差值)来检测。
通过检测行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度,以避免测量结果受到外界环境干扰,保证了检测结果的可靠和准确,同时,以行走部件16和机身6作为检测对象,在检测过程中,行走部件16和机身6不会发生旋转、偏移、位移等现象,行走部件16和机身6提供了稳定的参照系,进一步地保证了检测结果的可靠和准确,通过保证检测结果的可靠和准确,可以精准检测或判断行走部件16的伸缩状态,而且,只需要检测行走部件16在机身6上的投影与机身6的重叠度,就可以判断行走轮组件1的伸缩状态,信号处理简单,成本低。

参考图13,在本申请实施例中,为了保证行走轮组件1可以顺畅的跨越障碍物,沿第一引导面1322的底部向顶部的方向,第一引导面1322向远离行走轮14的方向倾斜设置,也就是说,第一引导面1322从底部到顶部逐渐远离行走轮14的中轴线,使得第一引导面1322与障碍物的接触区域沿着第一引导面1322向上移动,在上移的过程中,接触压力会逐渐分散,从而降低了在初始接触点的压力,进一步地减小阻力,使得行走轮组件1可以顺畅的跨越障碍物。

现有的清洁设备,为了实现对地面的清洁,其会具有行走轮机构,通过行走轮机构的动作,使得清洁设备能够行走,在清洁设备行走的过程中,清洁设备会对地面的灰尘、杂物等进行清洁,以保证地面洁净。
相关技术中,地面存在障碍物,在清洁设备行走的过程中,行走轮机构会与障碍物相碰撞,在行走轮机构与障碍物碰撞时,行走轮机构与障碍物之间的接触面积一般较大,使得行走轮机构与障碍物之间的摩擦力大,接触压力大,导致行走轮机构行走的阻力大,使得行走轮机构越过障碍物能力较差,影响清洁设备的清洁。
基于上述技术问题,本申请提供了一种行走轮机构和清洁设备,旨在至少能够在一定程度上解决行走轮机构越过障碍物能力较差的技术问题。
本申请的设计思路是:通过在护罩位于行走轮前侧的防护部上设置第一引导面,通过第一引导面减小行走轮机构与障碍物之间的摩擦力和接触压力,以减小行走轮机构行走的阻力,使得行走轮机构可以顺畅的跨越障碍物。
基于上述设计思路,本申请实施例提供了一种行走轮机构。参考图3、图9和图10,行走轮机构包括:行走轮组件1。行走轮组件1包括:行走轮安装座13和行走轮14。行走轮安装座13具有护罩132。行走轮14安装于行走轮安装座13。其中,沿行走轮机构1的行进方向,护罩132具有位于行走轮14前侧的防护部1321,防护部1321的外表面至少部分具有倾斜设置的第一引导面1322。第一引导面1322的底部与行走轮14的中轴线所在的竖直面的间距为第一间距,第一引导面1322的顶部与行走轮14的中轴线所在的竖直面的间距为第二间距,第一间距小于第二间距。

小了接触压力,使得阻力减小,在行走轮14转动所形成的推动力的作用下,行走轮组件1可以顺畅的跨越障碍物,当障碍物与第一引导面1322接触时,由于第一引导面1322的底部与行走轮14的中轴线所在的竖直面的间距为第一间距,第一引导面1322的顶部与行走轮14的中轴线所在的竖直面的间距为第二间距,第一间距小于第二间距,也就是说,第一引导面1322从底部到顶部逐渐远离行走轮14的中轴线,使得第一引导面1322与障碍物的接触区域沿着第一引导面1322向上移动,在上移的过程中,接触压力会逐渐分散,从而降低了在初始接触点的压力,进一步地减小阻力,使得行走轮组件1可以顺畅的跨越障碍物。
进一步来说,第一引导面1322和轮子分别位于防护部1321相背的两侧,在遇到障碍物时,使得第一引导面1322可以直接与障碍物相接触,以减小防护部1321与障碍物之间的接触面积。
具体而言,护罩132包覆行走轮14沿行走轮组件1的行进方向的侧部的至少部分,在行走轮安装座13的行进的过程中,若遇到障碍物,障碍物会撞击护罩132,而不会直接撞击护罩132,通过护罩132保护行走轮14,保证了行走轮14的安全。

具体而言,在一个圆中,弦长W、弦高h和曲率半径R之间存在以下经验关系:
因此,曲率半径越大,则W/h之间的比值也越大,可以理解的是,多个导向面1323中位于上部的弦长比弦高大,其导向面曲率半径大,使得该导向面较平缓,减小了导向面与障碍物之间的冲击力,以保护行走轮组件1,多个导向面1323中位于中部的导向面弦长比弦高适中,其曲率半径适中,使得该导向面的结构强度和越障能力均满足要求,多个导向面1323中位于底部的弦长比弦高小,其导向面曲率半径小,使得该导向面较陡,减小了该导向面与障碍物之间的接触面积,增强了越障能力,在行走轮组件1遇到不同高度或者不同类型的障碍物情况下,第一引导面1322不同部分可以

由于第二引导面61倾斜设置,使得第二引导面61与障碍物的接触区域沿着第二引导面61向上移动,在上移的过程中,接触压力会逐渐分散,从而降低了在初始接触点的压力,进一步地减小阻力,使得机身6可以顺畅的跨越障碍物。
