Abstract

The present invention discloses a mobile platform and an operating method of the mobile platform. The mobile platform comprises: a base; a housing disposed above an upper surface of the base and forming a placement space placing a work device with the upper surface of the base; and a travel mechanism disposed below a lower surface of the base for driving the housing and the base to move, wherein the lower surface of the base is provided with a groove and a bottom of the housing is disposed outside of an edge of the base. Moreover, during movement of the mobile platform, a dripping liquid drips down along the housing when the mobile platform is in an upright state, and the dripping liquid drips into the groove when the mobile platform is in an inverted state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile platform comprising:
a base;
a housing disposed above an upper surface of the base and forming a placement space for placing a work device with the upper surface of the base; and
a travel mechanism disposed below a lower surface of the base for driving the housing and the base to move,
wherein the lower surface of the base is provided with a groove and a bottom of the housing is disposed outside of an edge of the base,
wherein during movement of the mobile platform, a dripping liquid drips down along the housing when the mobile platform is in an upright state, and the dripping liquid drips into the groove when the mobile platform is in an inverted state,
wherein the edge of the base is bent downward to form a baffle structure that forms the groove with the lower surface of the base,
wherein a gap with a seal structure therein is formed between the baffle structure and the bottom of the housing, and
wherein an L-shaped member including a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that is disposed right above the gap is provided on the baffle structure.

2. The mobile platform according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom of the housing is bent outward to warp the edge of the base.

3. The mobile platform according to claim 1 ,
wherein the seal structure is a seal ring.

4. The mobile platform according to claim 1 ,
wherein the baffle structure and the bottom of the housing are secured by a securing structure disposed at the outside of the seal structure.

5. The mobile platform according to claim 4 ,
wherein the baffle structure is provided with a first opening, the bottom of the housing is provided with a second opening, and the securing structure is disposed in the first and second openings to secure the baffle structure to the bottom of the housing.

6. The mobile platform according to claim 5 ,
wherein, the securing structure is a bolt.

7. The mobile platform according to claim 1 ,
wherein the vertical arm and the horizontal arm are fixedly connected.

8. The mobile platform according to claim 1 ,
wherein the vertical arm and the horizontal arm are hinged together.

9. An operating method of a mobile platform comprising a base; a housing disposed above an upper surface of the base and forming a placement space for placing a work device with the upper surface of the base; and a travel mechanism disposed below a lower surface of the base for driving the housing and the base to move, wherein the lower surface of the base is provided with a groove and a bottom of the housing is disposed outside of an edge of the base; the operating method comprising:
placing the work device into the placement space; and
the travel mechanism driving the housing and the base to move, wherein during movement of the mobile platform, a liquid dripping on the mobile platform drips down along the housing when the mobile platform is in an upright state, and the liquid dripping on the mobile platform drips into the groove when the mobile platform is in an inverted state,
wherein the edge of the base is bent downward to form a baffle structure that forms the groove with the lower surface of the base,
wherein a gap with a seal structure therein is formed between the baffle structure and the bottom of the housing, and
wherein an L-shaped member including a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that is disposed right above the gap is provided on the baffle structure.
