  • Patent number: 11630249
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sensing device with a conical reflector for making a two-dimensional optical radar that mainly diffuses a light source using a diffusing element to form a diffused light, and directs the light source onto a reflection surface of a reflective element, after the diffused light is reflected to a reflector through the reflection surface, the reflector then reflects the diffused light to form a reflected light, and reflects the reflected light onto the reflection surface in order that the reflected light is reflected onto an optical lens through the reflection surface, and finally, the reflected light is directed onto a sensing module through the optical lens, and the reflected light is received through the sensing module; thereby achieving the effects of omnidirectional real-time scanning, one-time detection of 360-degree environmental characteristic points, and accurately and stably providing relative positions between each characteristic point and a robot.

  • Patent number: 11513528
    Abstract: A method for docking a robot at a charging station includes the following steps: the charging station outputs a first transmitting signal and a second transmitting signal, wherein an overlapping zone and two non-overlapping zones are formed within the signal transmission range of the first and second transmitting signals, and a blank zone forms within a predetermined distance. When the robot needs to move to the charging station, the robot detects its entry into the overlapping zone or one of the two non-overlapping zones, and the robot moves in the direction of the charging station by alternately moving in and out between the overlapping zone and one of the two non-overlapping zones until the robot moves to the blank zone, then the robot either moves directly towards the charging station, or rotates and then moves backwardly towards the charging station, thereby allowing the robot to dock at the charging station.

  • Publication number: 20210321843
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cleaning device and a robot. A movable box is disposed on the bottom side of the robot, wherein a roller space in the movable box is disposed with a roller, and a cleaning cover is disposed around an opening of the movable box. When the robot is moving and sweeping the ground with the roller, the roller will rotate to make contact with a guide element so that the guide element removes the garbage and dust attached to the roller and at the same time guides the airflow of a suction port of the robot, thereby allowing the garbage and dust to follow the airflow into the robot.

  • Patent number: 11147427
    Abstract: A fully floating contact redirecting device for a cleaning robot, wherein a contact unit is floatingly disposed on a surface of a robot body in a forward direction, and at least one sensing unit is respectively disposed on opposite sides of the contact unit in a direction opposite to the forward direction. An angle at which the robot body is retracted and turned to avoid a wall or an obstacle is determined by a position where the contact unit goes into contact with the sensing unit after the contact unit touches the wall or the obstacle, thereby solving the problem of going through multiple turns to move in an obstacle-free direction and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning robot.

  • Patent number: 11079766
    Abstract: A collision sensing device for laser module accommodates a laser module by a shield body, a moving seat and a base, and a scanning space is set between the shield body and the moving seat to provide a scanning environment for laser module. When a shield body is collided, the shield body may drive the moving seat to move backward, and a traction part disposed at a periphery of the moving seat drives one end of a linkage body to move backward. Therefore, when the linkage body moves backward, it touches or presses a sensing part of a sensing element, the sensing element may determine whether the shield body is collided; if it is determined that the cover shield body is collided, a collision information may be transmitted to a control unit to drive a robot to move out of trouble.
