In the existing cleaning robot technology, most of the floor mopping functions of the cleaning robot are realized by driving a mopping cloth to walk on the ground through a machine chassis or a machine water tank, but the floor mopping mode that the single floor mopping cloth is mopped on the ground has poor floor mopping effect and is frequently scratched by users. Therefore, a cleaning robot with a double-turntable floor mopping module appears, but due to the arrangement of the double-turntable floor mopping module, the design that the base station recovers the garbage from the bottom of the dust box in the prior art cannot be realized, so that the dust collection of the base station is influenced. Based on the cleaning robot, the cleaning robot which has strong mopping capacity and is convenient for collecting dust in the base station and the cleaning system comprising the cleaning robot are designed.

The cleaning robot and the cleaning system according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment discloses a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot includes a body 100, a turntable 200, and a cartridge assembly 300. A negative pressure air duct is arranged inside the machine body 100. The turntable 200 is disposed at a front or rear side of the chassis of the body 100. The cartridge assembly 300 is disposed on the body 100 and above the turntable 200. The box body component 300 is provided with a dust storage cavity 320, the box body component 300 is also provided with an air outlet, a dust suction port and a dust collection port 310, and the air outlet, the dust suction port and the dust collection port 310 are all communicated with the dust storage cavity 320. The outer side of the air outlet is communicated with the negative pressure air duct, the dust suction port is communicated with the suction port at the bottom of the machine body 100, the dust collection port 310 is positioned at one side of the box body assembly 300 far away from the machine body 100, and the dust collection port 310 is provided with a dust collection door which can be opened and closed.

It can be understood that the dust suction principle of the cleaning robot of the present application is the same as that of the existing cleaning robot, that is, the garbage on the working surface is sucked into the dust storage chamber 320 of the cartridge assembly 300 from the working surface, the suction port and the dust suction port in sequence by the suction force generated by the negative pressure generating device disposed inside the body 100, and then filtered by the filter element and stored in the dust storage chamber 320, and simultaneously, the airflow is drawn out from the negative pressure air duct by the negative pressure generating device. This is not an improvement of the present solution and will be described only briefly.

The water storage tank 400 is used to supply a cleaning medium to the floor mopping member on the turntable 200, either directly or indirectly, to further improve the floor mopping cleaning effect of the cleaning robot. Providing the cleaning medium directly, which may be accomplished by dripping or spraying the cleaning medium on the floor mopping member of the turntable 200; the indirect supply of the cleaning medium may be achieved by dripping or spraying the cleaning medium onto the work surface or onto the floor mop through an intermediate element, such as a weep hole provided in the turntable 200.

As shown in fig. 1, 2, and 3, in the present embodiment, at least two rotating discs 200 are disposed on the body 100, and at least a portion of the edges of the two rotating discs 200 are tangent or staggered. By providing at least two rotating discs 200 on the body 100, at least a portion of the edges of the two rotating discs 200 are tangent or staggered when they rotate. The arrangement of two tangent or staggered turntables 200 can ensure that the cleaning operation is not missed, and the dead angle of cleaning is avoided.

Alternatively, when the two dials 200 are circular in shape, the two dials 200 are tangentially arranged. At this time, the turntable 200 runs smoothly without cleaning dead angles. When the two rotation discs 200 are non-circular (e.g., regular polygon), the corners of the two rotation discs 200 are staggered. The two staggered non-circular turntables 200 are matched without any gap, so that the cleaning omission can be avoided.
