Abstract

The elastic sealing layer is attached to both the detachable connection part (21) and the wiping cloth (22). The elastic sealing layer is made from a foamed EPDM material (23), an integral skin sponge (33) or a common sponge (43), wherein a sealing film (24) is arranged on at least one side of the common sponge (43). The detachable connection part (21) may be a Velcro. With the structure of the elastic sealing layer between the detachable connection part and the wiping cloth, the duster cloth has good elasticity, and the air-tightness of the negative pressure chamber of the cleaning robot is greatly improved.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning robot, comprising: a negative pressure space; wherein,
 the negative pressure space is formed to be surrounded by a base of the robot, a surface to be cleaned and a duster cloth;   and wherein, the duster cloth comprises a layer of wiping cloth in contact with the surface to be cleaned, a detachable connection part close to and detachable from a base of the robot, and a sealing layer located between the wiping cloth and the detachable connection part, the sealing layer comprises a sealing film, and the sealing film is provided on at least one of an upper side and an lower side of the sealing layer.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing layer is made of a foamed EPDM material. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing layer is made of a sponge made by an integral skin foaming processing, and wherein the sponge made by the integral skin foaming processing has a skin with a first density and a core with a second density, and the first density is larger than the second density. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing layer comprises a sponge and one layer of sealing film provided on at least one of the upper side and the lower side of the sponge. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein said detachable connection part is a hooked-loop connection member. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 3 , wherein the thickness of the sponge is larger than 2 mm and less than 3 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 4 , wherein the thickness of the sponge is larger than 2 mm and less than 3 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , further comprising: a walking unit, and a vacuumizing unit; wherein,
 the vacuumizing unit comprises a fan motor and fan blades.   
     
     
         8 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the duster cloth surrounds a sealing chamber. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing layer is elastic. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the duster cloth is an independent integrated element related to the base of the robot. 
     
     
         11 . A cleaning robot, comprising: a negative pressure space; wherein,
 the negative pressure space is formed to be surrounded by a base of the robot, a surface to be cleaned and a duster cloth;   and wherein, the duster cloth comprises a layer of wiping cloth in contact with the surface to be cleaned, a detachable connection part close to and detachable from a base of the robot, and a sealing layer located between the wiping cloth and the detachable connection part, and the sealing layer is elastic.   
     
     
         12 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 11 , wherein the duster cloth is an independent integrated element related to the base of the robot. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 11 , wherein the cleaning robot is adsorbed onto a surface through the negative pressure space. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning robot according to  claim 11 , wherein the sealing layer comprises a sealing film, and the sealing film is provided on at least one of an upper side and a lower side of the sealing layer.
