In another embodiment of the present application, the cleaningrobot 100 may also be a sweeping and mopping integrated cleaning device, and the cleaning robot may further include a sweeping module in addition to the mopping module, and the sweeping module may include a rolling brush and an edge brush for cleaning debris such as dust on the ground, corners, and the like, and the debris is relatively concentrated on the rolling brush for processing by the edge brush, and is collected to the dust collecting box.

Specifically, the controller can control the traveling mechanism to travel in a working area of the cleaning robot according to a preset traveling path, and the floor mopping module performs floor mopping (which may include dry mopping or wet mopping) while the traveling mechanism drives the cleaning robot to travel, so as to remove dust and other garbage in the working area. Furthermore, when the cleaning robot travels in the preset path and finishes the floor mopping work, the controller can control the cleaning robot to stop the floor mopping work and control the traveling mechanism to travel, so that the traveling mechanism drives the cleaning robot to leave the work area. The walking path and the parking position of the cleaning robot can be set in the controller in advance, and the controller controls the walking mechanism to execute.
Fig. 4 shows a case where only one liquid reservoir exists in the cleaning robot, and the cleaning robot may further include: the liquid supply device is electrically connected with the control module, and the control module can control the liquid supply device to convey liquid to the mopping module based on the current mopping condition, so that the cleaning robot can automatically control the liquid supply condition of the cleaning robot to the mop, and the conveyed liquid can be water, water added with essential oil, alcohol and the like, which is not limited in the application. As shown in fig. 4, the liquid supply device may include: the liquid conveyingdevice 50 is electrically connected with the control module, wherein the liquid conveyingdevice 50 is connected with theliquid storage 51. In one embodiment, the control module may be programmed to control the liquid supply to deliver liquid to the floor module, i.e., may automatically control theliquid delivery device 50 to deliver liquid from theliquid reservoir 51 to the floor module based on the current floor conditions. In another embodiment, the cleaning robot may further include a valve associated with the liquid delivery device, the valve being opened and closed under control of the control module so that the liquid supply device may be controlled to deliver liquid to the floor mopping module based on the current floor mopping condition.
In one embodiment of the present application, theliquid transfer device 50 may be a pump, and may include, but is not limited to, pump elements such as peristaltic pumps, gear pumps, plunger pumps, diaphragm pumps, etc. capable of performing a liquid transfer function, and the control module controls the amount of liquid transferred from theliquid reservoir 51 to the mopping module by controlling the rotational speed of the impeller in the pump elements. Theliquid transfer device 50 is connected to theliquid reservoir 51 by ahose 52, and liquid in theliquid reservoir 51 can flow through thehose 52 to theliquid transfer device 50 so that theliquid transfer device 50 can transfer liquid to the floor module. In one embodiment of the present application, thefluid delivery device 50 may deliver fluid directly to thefloor module 40 in the manner shown in FIG. 4 for the purpose of delivering fluid to the floor module. In another embodiment of the present application, theliquid delivery device 50 can directly spray the liquid to the ground during the operation of the cleaning robot, so that the cleaning robot can walk on the liquid-sprayed ground to realize wet mopping, thereby achieving the purposes of spraying the liquid to the ground to dissolve stains and mopping the ground more cleanly. It should be noted that all embodiments of the present application can use both of the above-described approaches to achieve the objective of delivering liquid to the floor mopping module.
As shown in fig. 7, in the structure of the liquid supply device of the cleaning robot according to the embodiment of the invention, after the liquid flows out from theoutlet pipe 525 of theliquid delivery device 50, the liquid may be atomized by the atomizing plate 526 (in this application, 3 atomizing plates are taken as an example), and then the atomized liquid is delivered to the mopping module. In another embodiment of the present application, after the liquid exits the outlet tube of theliquid delivery device 50, it may be passed through the sponge, atomized by the atomizing plate, and delivered to the mopping module. In other embodiments, the atomization patch may be connected directly behind theliquid reservoir 51 and then delivered to the floor module. By adopting the mode, the liquid in the liquid supply device can be uniformly transmitted to the mopping module, and the mopping cloth can be uniformly covered with the liquid.
In one embodiment of the present application, the default operation mode of the cleaning robot is: the dry mopping work is executed firstly, and then the wet mopping work is executed, namely, when a user starts the cleaning robot to enter a working state, the cleaning robot can dry mopping the working area firstly, and then wet mopping the working area. Therefore, the defect that when a user does not suck dust in the working area and only uses the cleaning robot to wet and drag the working area, garbage such as hair is easily adhered to all parts of the working area can be prevented. Corresponding to the working mode of the cleaning robot, a corresponding number of dry mops and wet mops are placed on the base station, or only the dry mops are placed on the base station, and the purpose of wet mopping is realized by conveying liquid to the mopping module through the liquid supply device. And after the cleaning robot finishes the dry mopping, returning to the base station to replace a new mop, and finishing the wet mopping.
Of course, in other embodiments, the user may also change the default operating mode in the human-computer interaction of the app or the cleaning machine body according to the actual soil condition of the ground in the user's home or the user's own needs, such as changing the default operating mode to: dry mopping only, wet mopping first and dry mopping later, etc.
The floor mopping module of the cleaning robot has at least three height states in the working process: the mopping height, the obstacle crossing height and the mop unloading height can meet the requirements of mopping, obstacle crossing, automatic mop replacement and the like of the cleaning robot. The three heights are arranged from high to low and respectively comprise: the height of the unloading mop, the obstacle crossing height and the mopping height can be the same as the unloading mop, and in the application, the obstacle crossing height not only is the height of the mopping module when the cleaning robot crosses the obstacle, but also can refer to the height state when the cleaning robot mop is in a lifting state. Of course, the cleaning robot can, in addition to the three height states described above, also have a new mop installed height state below the mop height, where the uninstalled mop height can be used for uninstalling the old mop and the new mop installed height can be used for installing the new mop.
Specifically, when the cleaning robot is in a working state of mopping the floor, the control module controls the lifting mechanism to enable the mop cloth to be at the mopping height, at the moment, a certain pressure is generated between the mop cloth and the floor, and the mop cloth can be in contact with the floor and has a certain interference, so that a better cleaning effect is achieved; when the cleaning robot encounters an obstacle in the mopping process, the lifting mechanism controls the mop cloth to be at the obstacle crossing height, and at the moment, the mop cloth can be automatically lifted, the obstacle crossing height is higher than the working state height, but the obstacle crossing height cannot be higher than the unloading height, so that the mop cloth and the mopping floor are prevented from falling off; when the cleaning robot needs to return to replace the mop cloth in the mopping process or the electric quantity is lower than a preset threshold value in the mopping process and needs to return to charge, the lifting mechanism controls the mop cloth to be lifted to the obstacle crossing height to return, meanwhile, the cleaning robot can also form the position coordinate before returning through the navigation mechanism and mark the position coordinate in the working area map; when the mop cloth is replaced, the lifting mechanism controls the mop cloth to be lifted to the height of the unloaded mop cloth, and the mop board provided with the mop cloth is enabled to overcome the magnetic force to fall off from the cleaning robot through the ejector rod fixedly arranged on the cleaning robot, so that the old mop cloth is unloaded; after the old mop is unloaded, the cleaning robot can automatically install a new mop, the new mop is positioned in the new mop groove, and after the machine enters a corresponding position, the mop is descended to the height for installing the new mop, so that the new mop can be installed on the cleaning part through magnetic force, and the installation of the new mop is completed; after a new mop is installed, the lifting mechanism controls the mop to lift to the obstacle crossing height and return to the position marked in the work area map, and when the marked position is reached, the lifting mechanism controls the mop to be adjusted to the mopping height and continues mopping the floor; when the cleaning robot is required to pause mopping in the mopping process, the lifting mechanism controls the mop cloth to be lifted to the obstacle crossing height. The lifting mechanism is adopted to control the mop cloth to lift when crossing obstacles, and the defect that the cleaning range is limited due to the obstacle crossing height of almost 0 because the mop cloth of the cleaning robot only has the floor mopping height in the working process in the prior art is overcome. The mop cloth can control the lifting mechanism to lift the mop cloth to the obstacle crossing height when the mop cloth is suspended, and the defect that the floor is damaged due to the fact that the mop cloth is at the mopping height in the prior art is overcome. The cleaning robot can return to the mopping position before the mop is replaced to perform breakpoint continuous mopping after the mop is replaced, the defects that mopping is repeated on a mopped area and mopping is missed on an undrawn area in the prior art are overcome, and the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning robot is improved. Moreover, the mop can be automatically replaced, and the automation degree and the user experience of the mop robot are improved.
In this embodiment, when the cleaning robot is detected to be in a floor mopping condition as described below, the control module may control the liquid supply device to stop transferring liquid to the floor mopping module, so as to achieve the purposes of protecting the cleaning robot, protecting the floor, and ensuring the floor mopping effect.
In one embodiment of the application, the cleaning robot may further comprise a mopswab detecting device 90 electrically connected to the control module, the mopswab detecting device 90 being adapted to detect whether a mop is mounted on the cleaning robot before the cleaning robot starts performing a mopping operation, and if not, the control module controls the liquid transferring device to stop transferring liquid to the mop swab; if the mop cloth is mounted on the cleaning robot, the mopping work is started. The mop cloth can be magnetically coupled to the mop plate, and thus, in this embodiment, the mopcloth detecting device 90 can be a hall sensor.
In one embodiment of the application, when it is detected that the cleaning robot is currently in a mopping situation of at least one of: the controller is out of order; the cleaning robot is trapped by the obstacles in the mopping process; the cleaning robot is in a standby suspended mopping working state; the cleaning robot returns to the base station to replace the mopping module and is in a state of replacing the mopping module; the cleaning robot is in a dry-and-drag mode; the cleaning robot returns to the charging process of the base station and is in a charging state; when the liquid supply device is held by a user or lifted up when encountering an obstacle, all or part of the walking elements of the mopping robot leave the ground, and the like, the control module can control the liquid supply device to stop transferring liquid to the mopping module.
In one embodiment of the present application, the cleaning robot may further include: the control module can control the lifting mechanism to enable the mopping module to be lifted to other heights from the mopping height for executing mopping work, and when the lifting mechanism is currently in the lifted mopping condition, the control module controls the liquid supply device to stop conveying liquid to the mopping module, so that the floor damage and large-area water accumulation caused by natural water supply when the cleaning robot carrying wet mops is in a non-working state can be avoided, the floor is protected, and the mopping effect is ensured.
In the embodiment, the cleaning robot can control the liquid supplied by the liquid supply device to the floor mopping module according to the current floor mopping condition detected by at least one sensor arranged below, so that the floor mopping effect is ensured.
In an embodiment of the present application, the cleaning robot may further include: and the humidity detection device controls the liquid supply device to transmit liquid to the mopping module according to the current mopping condition detected by the humidity detection device. The current mopping condition may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: mop humidity, ground humidity, environmental humidity, etc. The specific application scenario is as follows.

Preferably, the mop moisture sensor may be mounted below the fuselage, for example: a capacitive sensor and/or a current sensor. The mop humidity detected by the mop humidity sensor monitors the current mopping situation and sends the mop humidity to the control module, which controls the amount of liquid delivered by the liquid delivery device based on the mop humidity detected by the mop humidity sensor. Specifically, when the humidity of the mop is greater than a preset threshold value, the liquid conveying device is controlled to output liquid at a speed lower than the current liquid outlet speed; and otherwise, when the humidity of the mop is smaller than the preset threshold value, the liquid conveying device is controlled to output the liquid at a speed higher than the current liquid output speed. The preset threshold may be set by the user according to the current ground condition, and the preset thresholds in different areas may be different.

The cleaning robot can also remotely detect the ambient humidity. At the moment, the cleaning robot is connected to the network in a honeycomb or wifi mode and the cleaning robot receives the weather condition sent by the server side and controls the liquid amount transmitted by the liquid transmission device based on the weather condition. When the environmental humidity is larger than a preset threshold value, controlling the liquid conveying device to output liquid at a speed lower than the current liquid output speed; and otherwise, when the environmental humidity is smaller than the preset threshold value, controlling the liquid conveying device to output the liquid at a speed higher than the current liquid output speed. The preset threshold may be set by the user according to the current ground condition, and the preset thresholds in different areas may be different.
In another embodiment, the humidity detection device may include: ground humidity sensors, for example: the control module can control the liquid delivered by the liquid supply device based on the ground humidity detected by the ground humidity sensor, and can update the humidity value of the area in the mopping app in real time according to the detected ground humidity. The ground humidity sensor can control the liquid delivered by the liquid supply device based on the detected ground humidity condition or dryness. In general, the cleaning robot may drag the floor according to a predetermined walking path. However, for some areas, when the cleaning robot detects that the floor of the area is dry, the cleaning robot may spray more liquid or increase the working time of the cleaning robot until the floor condition detected by the floor sensor meets the preset cleaning requirement, and the cleaning robot stops the cleaning work for the area; or when certain areas are detected to be relatively wet, the liquid transfer device can reduce the amount of liquid transferred or stop transferring the liquid. For example: when the cleaning robot passes through the same area in a short time, the liquid transmission device can be controlled to reduce or stop liquid supply, so that the phenomenon that liquid is wasted or wheels of the robot slip in the walking process can be avoided. In a specific application scenario, when the robot turns to and repeatedly walks to partial positions in certain areas after dragging the ground in the certain areas, if liquid supply is continued, excessive liquid on the ground is caused to cause the machine to skid or waste the liquid, so that when the robot is detected to repeatedly walk in the same area in a short time, the liquid conveying device can be controlled to stop supplying the liquid.
In one embodiment of the present application, the cleaning robot may further include: surface sensors, for example: and the visual sensor and/or the radar sensor are used for detecting the ground state through the ground sensor and sending the ground state to the control module, so that the control module can control the liquid transmitted by the liquid supply device. Specifically, the ground state may include: ground materials, and the like. The floor sensor may detect a material of the work surface, such as a floor or tile, and the control module may control the amount of liquid delivered by the liquid delivery device to the mopping module based on a condition of the floor detected by the floor sensor. When the cleaning robot detects that the floor material is the plank, the water yield of the liquid conveying device can be controlled, the water supply amount of the mop cloth is properly reduced, and the possibility of damaging the wooden floor due to excessive water is prevented. In one embodiment, the ground sensor comprises a vision sensor, and the control module can judge the material of the working surface according to a ground image acquired by the vision sensor; in another embodiment, the ground sensor may include a radar sensor, and the control module may determine the type of the work surface based on a detection result of the radar sensor.
In one embodiment, the cleaning robot may further include a signal transmitting device, and the signal transmitting device may transmit the current mopping condition (which may include mop humidity, ground humidity, ambient humidity, etc.) detected by the humidity detecting device or the ground state detected by the ground sensor to the user. For example, the user may read the floor humidity in the current area from a display on the cleaning robot; the ground humidity in the current area may also be read from the mopping app based on the ground humidity sent to the user by the signaling device. When the user feels that the liquid amount can be increased or reduced, the cleaning robot can send a corresponding signal to the cleaning robot, so that the control module can control the liquid delivered by the liquid supply device based on the instruction sent by the user. The liquid supply device in the cleaning robot is intelligently controlled to convey liquid to the mopping module in the mode, so that the user experience of the cleaning robot is improved.
Further, in an embodiment of the present application, the cleaning robot may include: a navigation mechanism. The user can carry out area calibration in a cleaning robot working area map formed by the navigation mechanism, and set the liquid condition required to be adopted by the cleaning robot in each area, so that the control module can control the liquid storage to transmit corresponding liquid in each area based on the liquid condition, and can also judge whether the liquid supply condition of the current area meets the requirement of the user according to the ground humidity updated in real time based on the ground humidity sensor in combination with the ground humidity in the current area updated in real time, if not, the liquid supply is continued, and if so, the mopping work of the current area can be stopped. In this embodiment, the navigation mechanism used may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: ultrasonic sensors, optical sensors (including LDS and the like), UWB sensors, inertial navigation systems.
In one embodiment of the present application, the cleaning robot may further include: a liquid level monitoring device disposed in the liquid reservoir. In one embodiment, when the liquid level monitoring device monitors that the liquid level in the liquid reservoir is lower than the preset threshold value, a notification message that the liquid amount in the cleaning robot is insufficient can be sent to the user, and the notification message can contain the time that the liquid left in the cleaning robot can be used at the current liquid outlet rate. When receiving the notification message, the user can choose not to respond, can control the cleaning robot to pause working, can choose to reduce the liquid outlet rate, or choose to add liquid to the cleaning robot.
In another embodiment, the cleaning robot may further include: indicating means, for example: a light emitting indicator (LED, etc.) or a sound emitting indicator, which may be used to indicate whether the cleaning robot liquid amount is sufficient. The indicating device is different in the state when the liquid amount is not lower than the preset threshold value and the state when the liquid amount is lower than the preset threshold value, and a user monitors the liquid level condition in the liquid storage device by observing different states of the indicating device. By reminding the user that the liquid amount is not enough, the defect that the cleaning effect is poor due to the lack of the liquid is prevented, and the floor mopping effect of the cleaning robot is improved.
Further, the cleaning robot may further include at least two liquid reservoirs symmetrically disposed at both sides of the body. Different types of liquid are respectively put into the two liquid reservoirs, and the control module controls the liquid conveying devices corresponding to the liquid reservoirs to synchronously or asynchronously work, so that the aim of cleaning different types of stains is fulfilled. Of course, the cleaning robot may further include three, four, etc. more than two liquid reservoirs, and these different liquid reservoirs may be filled with the same or different types of liquid according to actual needs, which is not limited in this application.
The cleaning robot may include: surface sensors, for example: and the vision sensor detects the ground state through the ground sensor and sends the ground state to the control module, so that the control module can respectively control the liquid amount and the liquid type transmitted by the two liquid reservoirs. The ground state may include: floor material and/or floor stain type. The floor sensor can control the amount of liquid that the two liquid reservoirs deliver to the mop, respectively, based on the detected condition of the floor material, whether the floor soil is greasy or dirty, wherein the amount of liquid delivered can be 0, i.e. it can be controlled that only one of the liquid reservoirs is used. In general, the cleaning robot may drag the floor according to a predetermined walking path. However, for some areas, when the cleaning robot detects that the floor of the area is dry and greasy, the cleaning robot may spray more liquid or increase the working time of the cleaning robot until the floor condition detected by the floor sensor meets the preset cleaning requirement, and the cleaning robot stops cleaning the area. In this embodiment, the two liquid reservoirs may be controlled to deliver liquid to the mopping module, respectively, until the floor condition detected by the floor sensor meets a predetermined cleaning requirement, and the cleaning robot stops cleaning work for this area.
The cleaning robot may further include: a navigation mechanism. The user can calibrate the areas in the cleaning robot working area map formed by the navigation mechanism and set the liquid output amount and the liquid type which are required to be adopted by the cleaning robot in each area, so that the control module can control the liquid conveying device to convey the corresponding liquid amount and the corresponding liquid type in each area based on the liquid output amount and the liquid type.
The cleaning robot may further include a signal transmitting device that may transmit the mop humidity detected by the humidity sensor or the floor status detected by the floor sensor to a user, and the user may read the current floor mopping condition in a display on the body of the cleaning robot or in a floor mopping app. For example, when the user feels that the amount of liquid can be increased or decreased to mop the floor, a corresponding signal can be sent to the cleaning robot, so that the control module can control the amount of liquid transferred by the liquid transfer device and the type of liquid based on instructions from the user. The instruction may be sent through the floor-mopping app or the user may enter directly on the interactive interface of the cleaning robot. By adopting the mode, the mopping humidity and the mopping liquid type of the cleaning robot are intelligently controlled, and the user experience of the cleaning robot is improved. Further, the cleaning robot may further include: the liquid level monitoring devices are respectively arranged in the two liquid storage devices, are used for monitoring whether the liquid level in the liquid storage devices is lower than a preset threshold value or not, and can also comprise indicating devices which are respectively corresponding to the two liquid level monitoring devices and are used for indicating the liquid level condition.

For example, the firstliquid storage 511 is filled with clean water, the secondliquid storage 512 is filled with cleaning liquid, and when the floor sensor detects that only dust is on the floor, the control module controls the firstliquid transfer device 501 to operate, and the firstliquid storage 511 transfers the clean water to the firstliquid transfer device 501 through thefirst hose 521, so that the firstliquid transfer device 501 transfers the clean water to the mop, and the clean water is used to remove the dust and the like on the floor. When the floor sensor detects that there is oil on the floor, the control module controls the firstliquid transferring device 501 to operate and also controls the secondliquid transferring device 502 to operate, that is, while the firstliquid storage 511 transfers clean water to the firstliquid transferring device 501 through thefirst hose 521, the secondliquid storage 512 transfers cleaning liquid to the secondliquid transferring device 502 through thesecond hose 522 so that the secondliquid transferring device 502 transfers cleaning liquid to the mop, because the concentration of the cleaning liquid is high, the operating time of the secondliquid transferring device 502 can be controlled to be less than a preset threshold. When the secondliquid storage 512 stores clean water with adjusted concentration of the cleaning liquid, and the ground sensor detects that there is oil on the ground, it is possible to control only the secondliquid transfer device 502 to operate, and clean the oil on the ground with the clean water with adjusted concentration of the cleaning liquid.

For example, the thirdliquid storage 513 stores clean water, the fourthliquid storage 514 stores clean water with adjusted concentration of cleaning liquid, and when the ground sensor detects that only dust exists on the ground, the control module only controls the second valve (not shown) to open, controls the thirdliquid transfer device 503 to operate, and transfers clean water from the thirdliquid storage 513 to the thirdliquid transfer device 503 through thethird hose 523, and removes dust on the ground by using the clean water.
