Mobile robot

#This application is a 371 U.S. national stage of PCT/CN2017/115640, filed Dec. 12, 2017, which claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710654174.3, filed on Aug. 3, 2017, and the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.

#The present disclosure relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and particularly to a mobile robot.

#A mobile robot is a device that intelligently controls movement to perform various tasks. The mobile robot, in particular a service robot, for example, a cleaning robot, and a mowing robot, is becoming increasingly common in everyday life. By way of example, the cleaning robot is a service robot for treating a surface to be cleaned (for example, floor, glass, etc.). Cleaning robots are increasingly used in everyday household life, especially in western countries. Every cleaning robot is provided with a container apparatus such as a garbage box, a liquid carrying tank or a sewage recovery tank. The garbage box is used to collect garbage when the floor is cleaned. The liquid carrying tank is used to contain water or disinfectant, and when the cleaning robot runs, water or liquid in the liquid carrying tank flows to the surface to be cleaned, such that stains on the surface to be cleaned are easier to be cleaned or facilitate disinfecting the surface to be cleaned. The sewage recovery tank is used to recover sewage on the surface to be cleaned.

#In order to more clearly illustrate technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure or in the prior art, accompanying drawings which need to be used in the embodiments will be introduced briefly below. Apparently, the accompanying drawings in the following description are merely for some embodiments of the present disclosure. A person ordinarily skilled in the art still could obtain other alterations in light of these accompanying drawings, without using creative efforts.

#FIG. 1a is a structural schematic diagram showing that a robot housing is separated from a container apparatus in an embodiment of the present disclosure;

#FIG. 1b is a top view of a mobile robot when normally placed in an embodiment of the present disclosure;

#The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, apparently, some but not all embodiments of the present disclosure are described. All other embodiments, obtained by those ordinarily skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without using creative efforts, shall fall into the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

#Unless otherwise specified, orientation terms “front”, “rear”, “left”, and “right” herein are all relative to a forward direction of a mobile robot during normal working, and the forward direction refers to a direction in which cleaning equipment advances. Wordings “up”, “down”, “bottom” or “top” all refer to a placement state of the cleaning equipment during normal working.

#Please referring to FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d together, FIG. 1a is a structural schematic diagram showing that a robot housing is separated from a container apparatus in an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 1b is a top view of a mobile robot when normally placed in an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 1c is a bottom view of the mobile robot when normally placed in an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 1d is a sectional schematic diagram of the mobile robot along a section line A-A in FIG. 1a in an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 1e is a schematic diagram of a split structure of the mobile robot in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile robot provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a robot housing 10, a container apparatus 20 mounted to the housing, at least two moving components 40 and a cleaning component 50. The moving components 40 are mounted to the robot housing 10 and configured to enable the mobile robot to move. The cleaning component includes a main brush 520 provided laterally relative to a normal forward direction of the mobile robot. The main brush 520 is provided to be mounted to the robot housing 20, and located at or near a position of the robot housing 10, at which position a transverse width is largest. The transverse width refers to a width defined by a direction perpendicular to the normal forward direction of the mobile robot. Please referring to FIG. 1c, an arrow fin the figure indicates a forward direction of the mobile robot in a normal state, and an axis of the mobile robot corresponding to f is a forward direction axis. The transverse width refers to a width defined by a direction perpendicular to the forward direction axis f of the mobile robot, for example, the transverse width may be a length in an extending direction along a center line m.
