Patent number: 9236750Abstract: An intelligent robot system comprising an intelligent robot (100) and a charging base (200). The intelligent robot (100) comprises a docking electrode (102), a walking mechanism (106) and a control unit (105). The docking electrode (102), the walking mechanism (106) and the control unit (105) are disposed in the body (101) of the intelligent robot (100). The charging base (200) comprises a charging electrode (201) disposed on the body (101) of the charging base (200). The intelligent robot (100) further comprises a gripping mechanism (107). When the docking electrode (102) and the charging electrode (201) dock successfully, the control unit (105) controls the e gripping mechanism (107) to lock the walking mechanism (106) to enable the intelligent robot (100) to maintain a successful docking state in the charging base (200), preventing the charging electrode (201) of the charging base (200) from being separated from the docking electrode (102) due to the improper movement of the walking mechanism (106).Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Ecovacs Robotics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jinju Tang

Patent number: 8984712Abstract: A cyclone separation device (102, 202) and a cyclone vacuum cleaner (100, 200) mounted with the device. A first cyclone separation unit in the cyclone separation device (102, 202) comprises a dust bucket (10) and a mesh filter (7) with air holes (7a). Airflow enters the first cyclone separation unit to undergo first gas-solid separation. The airflow after the separation enters a second cyclone separation unit through the air holes (7a) of the mesh filter (7). A filter in the second cyclone separation unit comprises a plurality of cyclone barrels (31). An upper end and a lower end of the cyclone barrel (31) are open. A first air inlet (31a) and a second air inlet (31b) are disposed on a side wall of the cyclone barrel (31). The airflow (41a, 41b) after the gas-solid separation enters the first air inlet (31a) and the second air inlet (31b) through a first airflow passage and a second airflow passage respectively, is mixed in the cyclone barrel (31), and then undergoes second gas-solid separation.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Ecovacs Robotics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.Inventor: Zhongmei Peng

Patent number: 8924019Abstract: A cleaning robot a dirt recognition device thereof and a cleaning method of the robot are disclosed. The recognition device includes an image collecting module and an image processing module. The image collecting module may be used for collecting the image information of the surface to be treated by the cleaning robot and sending the image information to the image processing module. The image processing module may divide the collected image information of the surface to be treated into N blocks, extract the image information of each block and process the image information in order to determine the dirtiest surface to be treated that corresponds to one of the N blocks. Through the solution provided by the present invention, the cleaning robot can make an active recognition to the dirt such as dust, so that it can get into the working area accurately and rapidly.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Ecovacs Robotics Suzhou Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jinju Tang
