Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing of small appliances, and relates to a glass-wiping robot. The glass-wiping robot comprises a robot main body ( 1 ), a power cord ( 4 ) and a safety buckle ( 3 ). The power cord ( 4 ) is connected to the robot main body ( 1 ), and winds onto the safety buckle ( 3 ). The safety buckle ( 3 ) is provided thereon with a suction cup ( 2 ). The safety buckle ( 3 ) sucks on a glass via the suction cup ( 2 ). The glass-wiping robot of the present invention provides double protection and improved safety effects when the robot main body inadvertently falls off the window, allows for convenient fixing or moving of the safety buckle, and is convenient to carry.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A glass-wiping robot comprising a robot main body ( 1 ), a connecting body, a power cord ( 4 ) connected to the robot main body ( 1 ) and a safety buckle ( 3 ) wound by the power cord ( 4 ), said safety buckle ( 3 ) is provided with a suction cup ( 2 ) thereon for sucking the safety buckle ( 3 ) onto a glass,
wherein said suction cup ( 2 ) is located on a first side of the glass and the robot main body ( 1 ) is located on a second, opposing side of the glass, such that the glass is prevented from being pushed open when the robot main body accidentally falls off the glass,
wherein the power cord is connected to the robot main body via the connecting body.

2. The glass-wiping robot of claim 1 , wherein said safety buckle ( 3 ) comprises a first end face ( 31 ) and a second end face ( 32 ) connected by a central pillar ( 33 ), and at least one of the first and second end faces is provided with a first threading hole and a second threading hole.

3. The glass-wiping robot of claim 2 , wherein said suction cup ( 2 ) is provided at the first end face ( 31 ), and the power cord ( 4 ) threads into the first threading hole ( 321 ) of the second end face, and winds on the central pillar ( 33 ), and then threads out the second threading hole ( 322 ) of the second end face.

4. The glass-wiping robot of claim 2 , wherein said suction cup ( 2 ) is provided at the second end face ( 32 ), and the power cord ( 4 ) threads into the first threading hole ( 311 ) of the first end face, and winds on the central pillar ( 33 ), and then threads out the second threading hole ( 312 ) of the first end face.

5. The glass-wiping robot of claim 2 , wherein a through hole ( 331 ) is provided at the center of the central pillar.

6. The glass-wiping robot of claim 2 , wherein the first threading hole and the second threading hole are axisymmetrically provided with respect to the central pillar ( 33 ).
