The embodiment of the invention provides a cleaning component driving device and a cleaning robot comprising the same.

Referring to fig. 1, 5 and 7, the cleaning robot in this embodiment includes a body 100, a cleaning assembly driving device 200 and a cleaning assembly 300. The machine body 100 comprises an upper cover 101 and a lower cover 102, the upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102 are mutually covered to enable the machine body 100 to have an inner space, the cleaning component driving device 200 is assembled in the machine body 100, a through hole 103 exposing a power output end of the cleaning component driving device 200 is formed in the lower surface of the lower cover 102, and the cleaning component 300 is connected to the power output end of the cleaning component driving device 200 through the through hole 103.

In addition, the cleaning robot further includes a driving wheel (not shown) mounted at the bottom of the machine body 100, a control chip (not shown) mounted inside the machine body 100, and the like. The cleaning robot further comprises an obstacle detection module (not shown in the figures), which may be for example a detection module based on acoustic, optical or visual signals. During the cleaning operation, the obstacle detecting module can detect whether an obstacle, such as a cable, a carpet, a non-slip mat, a pedestal of a floor fan, etc., which is inconvenient for the cleaning operation exists in front of the traveling direction of the cleaning robot.

The cleaning assembly driving device 200 in this embodiment can be used to drive the cleaning assembly 300 first so that the cleaning assembly 300 can rotate or reciprocate relative to the working surface to clean the working surface.

Referring to fig. 2 to 7, in order to reduce the risk of the cleaning assembly 300 getting stuck or caught and to prevent secondary pollution, the cleaning assembly driving device 200 of the present embodiment mainly includes a first supporting member 1, a moving block 2, a first driving motor 3, a first transmission assembly 4, and an output shaft 5.

Wherein, the first supporting member 1 is provided with a guiding mechanism 11 and a first through hole 12, the moving block 2 is slidably connected to the guiding mechanism 11, and the guiding mechanism 11 is used for limiting and guiding the moving direction of the moving block 2, in particular limiting and guiding the moving block 2 to advance or retreat along a first direction (such as the X direction in fig. 5 and 7). The moving block 2 is provided with a slide rail 21, and the height of the first end of the slide rail 21 is greater than the height of the second end of the slide rail 21.

The output shaft 5 is disposed through the first support member 1, specifically, through the first through hole 12 disposed through the first support member 1. The first end of the output shaft 5 is used for connecting the cleaning assembly 300, the second end of the output shaft 5 is provided with a hanging part 51, the hanging part 51 is connected with the slide rail 21 in a relatively sliding mode, and the output shaft 5 is hung on the slide rail 21 through the hanging part 51.

Based on the cleaning assembly driving device 200 provided above, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the first driving motor 3 drives the moving block 2 to advance in the first direction relative to the guide mechanism 11, the slide rail 21 is driven to slide relative to the hanging portion 51 so that the first end of the slide rail 21 moves toward the hanging portion 51, and when the slide rail is slid to make the hanging portion 51 hang on the first end of the slide rail 21, the output shaft 5 is driven to be lifted because the first end of the slide rail 21 has a higher height, thereby correspondingly lifting the cleaning assembly 300 connected to the first end of the output shaft 5; on the contrary, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, when the first driving motor 3 drives the moving block 2 to move backward in the first direction relative to the guiding mechanism 11, the sliding rail 21 is driven to slide relative to the hanging portion 51 so that the second end of the sliding rail 21 moves toward the hanging portion 51, and when the sliding rail slides to make the hanging portion 51 hang on the second end of the sliding rail 21, the output shaft 5 is driven to descend because the second end of the sliding rail 21 has a lower height, thereby correspondingly lowering the cleaning assembly 300 connected to the first end of the output shaft 5. Based on the above driving operation process, the cleaning assembly driving device 200 in the present embodiment can drive the cleaning assembly 300 to achieve the lifting function, so that the risk of the cleaning assembly 300 being stuck or caught can be reduced, and the secondary pollution of the dirty cleaning assembly 300 to the cleaned working surface can be avoided.

It should be noted that the stroke of the cleaning assembly 300 capable of ascending and descending depends mainly on the height difference between the first end and the second end of the slide rail 21. Therefore, the height difference between the first end of the slide rail 21 and the second end of the slide rail 21 needs to be determined according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited herein, in combination with factors such as the assembly position and the assembly manner of the cleaning assembly 300 in the cleaning robot.

The runner 22 extends from a first end 2a adjacent to the moving mass 2 to a second end 2b adjacent to the moving mass 2. The width of the sliding groove 22 is slightly larger than that of the output shaft 5, and the output shaft 5 penetrates through the sliding groove 22. The lower end of the hanging portion 51 abuts on the slide groove 22 to hang the output shaft 5 on the slide groove 22, and the slide groove 22 and the lower end of the hanging portion 51 are slidable relative to each other. The moving block 2 moves forward or backward in the first direction relative to the guide mechanism 11, and the slide groove 22 is caused to slide relative to the hanging portion 51, so that the hanging portion 51 is hung on the first end 22a of the slide groove 22 or the second end 22b of the slide groove 22, thereby raising or lowering the output shaft 5.

When the moving block 2 is driven to advance or retreat in the first direction so that the suspending portion 51 is suspended from the first end 22a of the slide groove 22 or the second end 22b of the slide groove 22, the suspending position of the suspending portion 51 on the slide groove 22 is the first flat surface 23 or the second flat surface 24, whereby the suspending portion 51 and the output shaft 5 can be stably supported in a flat surface support manner.

It should be noted that, when the elastic reset piece 61 is not provided, in the process of driving the output shaft 5 to descend, the output shaft 5 and the cleaning assembly 300 connected thereto descend mainly based on the gravity of the output shaft 5; after the elastic reset piece 61 is arranged, on one hand, during the process of driving the output shaft 5 to descend, the reset of the elastic reset piece 61 provides an auxiliary pushing force, so that the descending process of the output shaft 5 and the cleaning assembly 300 connected with the output shaft 5 is smoother; on the other hand, the elastic reset piece 61 pushes the output shaft 5 to descend and provides a downward pressure, so that the cleaning assembly 300 connected to the first end of the output shaft 5 can be tightly attached to the working surface, and the cleaning capability of the cleaning assembly 300 on the working surface is improved.
