[0041] The claims of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] It should be understood that, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, all directional indicating terms, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. These terms are merely for the purpose of simplifying the description of the present invention and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device, element, or component referred to must have a specific orientation or specific orientational structure, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. They are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between the components shown in the accompanying drawings. When this specific orientation changes, the directional indication may also change accordingly.
[0043] Furthermore, in this invention, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are used for distinguishing purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features referred to as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those technical features. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, i.e., two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined; "at least one" means one or more.
[0044] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," "fixing," and "screw-in" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a relatively fixed positional relationship between components, or a physically fixed connection between components; they can be detachable connections or integral structures; they can be mechanical connections or electrical signal connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through intermediate media or components; they can refer to the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Unless otherwise explicitly limited in the specification, other interpretations will not achieve the corresponding functions or effects. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] As analyzed in the background section of this application, in order to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, the cover plate structure and the mounting shell of some floor scrubbers are integrated, and if the cleaning components inside the floor scrubber are damaged, the entire mounting shell must be disassembled to remove the damaged cleaning components, this application provides a cover plate assembly and a floor scrubber.
[0046] Firstly, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cover plate assembly 2, which is installed on the cleaning head housing 1 of a floor scrubber. The cover plate assembly 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a base 22. The cover plate 21 overlaps directly above the opening of the dustbin (not shown in the figure) of the cleaning head housing 1. The cover plate 21 encloses a first receiving cavity M that protects the cleaning roller (not shown in the figure) installed inside the cleaning head housing 1. The base 22 includes a left side plate 221, a right side plate 222, a front side plate 223, a rear side plate 224 extending downward from the cover plate 21 and forming a rectangular frame, and a guide plate 23 covering the rectangular frame. The guide plate 23 encloses a second receiving cavity N. The first receiving cavity M and the second receiving cavity N are interconnected to form a receiving space for accommodating cleaning components.
[0047] When the internal components of the floor scrubber's cleaning head housing 1 are damaged, the cover assembly 2 is removed from the cleaning head housing 1, opening the openings at the front of the cleaning roller and the top of the dustbin. Conversely, when assembling the cover assembly 1, the base 22 is secured to the openings at the front of the cleaning roller and the top of the dustbin, covering the openings of the floor scrubber's cleaning head housing. This cover assembly 1, which is easy to separate directly from the cleaning head housing, improves the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the internal components of the cleaning head housing 1.
[0048] In this invention, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cover assembly 2 covers the top of the cleaning head housing 1 of the floor scrubber, protecting the internal structure of the cleaning head housing 1 and preventing damage to its internal structure when it collides with other objects. The cover assembly 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a base 22. The cover plate 21 encloses a first receiving cavity M that protects the cleaning roller installed inside the cleaning head housing 1. The internal structure of the cleaning head housing 1, such as the cleaning roller, transmission device, and drive device, is assembled in the first receiving cavity M. By covering the top of the cleaning head housing 1 with the cover assembly 2, the internal structure of the cleaning head housing 1 is prevented from being exposed and damaged in the event of a collision with other objects. The base 22 includes a left side plate 221, a right side plate 222, a front side plate 223, a rear side plate 224 extending downwards from the cover plate 21 and forming a rectangular frame, and a guide plate 23 covering the rectangular frame. The guide plate 23 encloses a second receiving cavity N. When the cover plate assembly 2 is placed on the top of the cleaning head housing 1, the base 22 engages with the inner walls of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 of the cleaning head housing 1, which are used to hold the cleaning roller, to support the top cover plate 21. The base 22 is provided with a second receiving cavity N, which is also used to accommodate the internal structure of the cleaning head housing 1. Since the internal structure of the cleaning head housing 1 is numerous and occupies a large space, the first receiving cavity M and the second receiving cavity N are interconnected to form a receiving space, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the cleaning head housing 1. The four sides of the base 22 of the cover assembly 2 are detachably connected to the four side walls of the top opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1. When disassembling the entire cover assembly 2, remove the opposite sides of the base 22 from the top opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1 until the base 22 is detached from the body, and then the entire cover assembly 2 can be separated from the cleaning head housing 1. Conversely, when installing the cover assembly 2, align the opposite sides of the base 22 with the assembly positions of the top opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1, and then install the cover assembly 2 onto the cleaning head housing 1.
[0049] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, both sets of opposite side plates of the base 22 are provided with snap-fit devices for engaging the guide plate 23. Specifically, as... Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the left side plate 221 and right side plate 222 of the base 22 are a set of opposing side plates, and the front side plate 223 and rear side plate 224 of the base 22 are another set of opposing side plates. Both the left side plate 221 and right side plate 222 are provided with reinforcing rib hooks 2222 for engaging the guide plate 23. The front side plate 223 has intermittently spaced snap-fit grooves 2231 and reinforcing rib hooks 2232, and the rear side plate 224 has intermittently spaced snap-fit grooves 2241 and reinforcing rib hooks 2242. All the reinforcing rib hooks and snap-fit hooks on the base 22 are used for engaging with the guide plate 23. This facilitates the easy removal of the guide plate 23 from the base 22 when it needs to be disassembled.
[0050] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 21 includes a smoothly connected arcuate portion 211 and a straight portion 212, and the base 22 extends downward from the straight portion 212. Specifically, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cover 21 is a single, continuous piece, divided into an arc-shaped section 211 and a straight section 212 at the head end by an obtuse-angle bend. The arc shape of the arc-shaped section 211 matches the arc shape of the cleaning roller surface protected by the cleaning head housing 1, thus providing effective protection for the cleaning roller with minimal volume and space occupation. The straight section 212 covers the upper opening of the waste bin in the cleaning head housing 1. Its straight shape allows for a tighter fit between the straight section 212 and the upper opening of the waste bin in the cleaning head housing 1, preventing the brush assembly (not shown in the figure) inside the cleaning head housing 1 from throwing waste into the gap between the two covers and falling to the ground when sweeping sticky solid waste in the waste bin.
[0051] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate assembly 2 further includes at least two snap-fit pieces 2112 disposed at both ends of the arc-shaped portion 211. These two snap-fit pieces 2112 elastically abut against the two clamping plates 11 and 12 of the cleaning head housing 1 used to clamp the cleaning roller, respectively. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, two snap-fit pieces 2112 extending toward the first accommodating cavity M are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped portion 211. Each snap-fit piece 2112 has elastic protrusions extending toward the outer ends (not shown in the figure). When the user installs the cover plate assembly 2 onto the cleaning head housing 1, the two elastic protrusions will match the recesses on the two clamping plates 11 and 12 of the cleaning head housing 1 used to hold the cleaning roller, preventing the cover plate assembly 2 from jumping up, down, left, right, back and forth when the cleaning head is impacted during the high-speed dragging of the cleaning head, thus reducing the noise when the cleaning head is working.
[0052] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the straight portion 212 forms stepped ends on both sides where it connects to the base. The width of the base 22 exactly matches the width of the trash can opening of the cleaning head housing. The stepped ends abut against the inner sidewalls and top walls of the clamps 11 and 12. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the stepped end design makes it easier for the base 22 of the cover assembly 2 to be firmly inserted into the upper opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1. Even if the user drags the cleaning head at a very fast speed, the cover assembly 2 will not bounce up, down, left, right, back and forth when the cleaning head housing 1 is impacted, thus reducing the noise when the cleaning head is working.
[0053] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 21 also includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2111, which are spaced apart on the inner sidewall of the arc-shaped portion 211. The reinforcing ribs 2111 spaced apart on the inner sidewall of the arc-shaped portion 211 help improve the cover plate 21's ability to withstand impacts from various directions on the area of the cleaning head housing 1 near the cleaning roller, thereby improving the impact resistance of the entire cover plate assembly 2 and providing better protection for the cleaning roller.
[0054] In one or more optional embodiments, each of the reinforcing ribs 2111 is curved and elastically abuts against the surface of the cleaning roller. The reinforcing ribs 2111, spaced apart on the inner wall of the arc-shaped portion 211 and elastically abutting against the surface of the cleaning roller, divide the surface of the cleaning roller into various non-interfering guide zones. During high-speed rotation, the cleaning roller rolls up the waste into the guide channel, where it is swept into the waste box by the brush assembly. When some sticky waste successively overcomes the obstructions of the brush, water guide strip, and squeezing strip, it is carried out of the cleaning tank by the cleaning roller and rolled back to the bottom. At this point, thanks to the separating function of the reinforcing ribs 2111, the sticky waste rolled back from the ground into the guide channel does not move axially in the cleaning roller direction, thus improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning roller. The multiple reinforcing ribs 2111 simultaneously support the arc-shaped portion 211 inside the cover assembly 2, allowing the arc-shaped portion 211 to be stably assembled at the top of the opening at the upper end of the waste box of the cleaning head housing 1, further improving the stability of the arc-shaped portion 211. Each reinforcing rib 2111 is spaced apart from its adjacent counterparts, for example, by a distance between each reinforcing rib 2111 and its adjacent counterparts. This not only reduces the space occupied in the first accommodating cavity M but also does not reduce the stability of the arc-shaped portion 211. At least two reinforcing ribs 2111 are provided; in this embodiment, four reinforcing ribs 2111 are used. These four reinforcing ribs 2111 are simultaneously supported on the internal support structure of the floor scrubber 2, further improving the stability of the arc-shaped portion 211.
[0055] In one or more optional embodiments, the guide plate 23 includes a guide tip 231, a guide arc portion 233, and a straight extension portion 232 connected in sequence. The guide tip 231 engages with the front side plate 223, the straight extension portion 232 engages with the rear side plate 224, and the guide arc portion 233 engages with the left side plate 221 and the right side plate 222. The detachable guide plate 23, on the one hand, restricts the solid and sticky waste carried out by the brush assembly's sweeping rotation from being directionally thrown into the waste box along the arc surface of the guide plate 23 by the enclosed second accommodating cavity N. On the other hand, the guide tip 231 of the guide plate 23 can pre-separate the solid and sticky waste swept up by the cleaning roller into two streams. One stream continues to rotate upward with the cleaning roller and is further scraped by the water-collecting strip and the water-squeezing strip, while the other stream is directly brushed away by the brush along the arc surface of the guide plate 23. The replaceable guide plate 23 can be adapted to different brush assemblies and cleaning rollers, allowing users to replace different parts for different application scenarios, enabling the floor scrubber to perform deep surface cleaning in more scenarios.
[0056] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, a third accommodating cavity P is formed between the cover plate 21 and the base 22, defining the elastic extension and retraction direction of the locking device 24. The base 22 is intended to extend towards the upper opening of the trash can of the cleaning head housing 1, and the extended space is perfectly suited for installing a locking device 24 to further increase the stability of the connection between the base 22 and the two clamping plates 11, 12 of the cleaning head housing 1. Since the locking device 24 frequently requires elastic extension and retraction of its locking tongue, being enclosed within the third accommodating cavity P between the cover plate 21 and the base 22 better protects the locking device 24 from water and dust, increasing its reusable service life. This ensures a smooth user experience every time the user presses the locking device 24, and that the extension and retraction of the locking tongue are also smoother.
[0057] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the locking device 24 includes a pair of elastic elements 242 with one end abutting against the third accommodating cavity P, a pair of locking sliders 241 with one end abutting against the elastic element 242 and the other end extending out of the base side plate, and a pair of elastic latches 243 engaged on the locking sliders. The locking sliders 241 can slide along the axial direction of the elastic element 242. The locking sliders 241, which can slide along the axial direction of the elastic element 242, facilitate further extension of the width required by the base 22, so that the locking tongue 241a of the locking sliders 241 can reach a certain length and pass through the two side plates 221, 222 of the base 22. It also facilitates the further engagement of the elastic latches 243 on the locking sliders 241, so that the elastic latches 243 can pass through the upper surface of the cover plate assembly 2, and the user can directly press the elastic latches 243 used by the locking device 24.
[0058] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the straight portion 212 extends towards the third accommodating cavity P with an abutment plate (not shown in the figure), and one end of the elastic member 242 abuts against the abutment plate. The straight portion 212 has recessed sliding grooves 2121 on both sides of the abutment plate towards the third accommodating cavity P, allowing the elastic latch 243 to slide along the axis of the elastic member. The required stroke of the sliding groove 2121 is exactly the stroke of the elastic member 242 that can elastically deform. The sliding groove 2121, designed according to the required extension and retraction stroke of the latch 241a, allows the elastic latch 243 to slide along the axis of the elastic member. The sliding groove 2121 allows the user to more easily press the elastic latch 243 of the locking device 24, while also allowing the right side of the entire locking device 24 to extend beyond the large surface of the straight portion 212 of the entire pressure cover assembly 2, thus making more effective use of the space of the entire base 22 and further improving the space utilization rate of the third accommodating cavity P.
[0059] In one or more alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the locking slider 241 has a locking tongue 241a extending from the side plate of the base at one end opposite to the elastic member 242. In the locked state, the locking tongue 241a elastically abuts against the inner side walls of the two clamping plates 11 and 12 of the cleaning head housing 1. The locking tongue 241a can further improve the locking stability of the entire base 22 when it is elastically engaged with the upper opening of the trash can of the cleaning head housing 1. Even if the user drags the cleaning head at a high speed, the cover assembly 2 will not bounce up, down, left, right, back and forth when the cleaning head housing 1 is impacted, thus reducing the noise when the cleaning head is working.
[0060] In one or more alternative embodiments, the opposite sides of the base 22 can also be detachably connected to the upper opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1 by means of snaps or screws, so as to facilitate the removal of the entire cover structure 1 without having to remove the entire mounting shell before the damaged cleaning component can be taken out.
[0061] In addition, the upper opening of the trash box of the cleaning head housing 1 in this embodiment of the invention can be a support body (not shown in the figure) for supporting the entire cover structure 1 on the top of the floor scrubber 2. The specific structural form of the support body can be flexibly set according to actual needs.
[0062] In one or more optional embodiments, the base 22 may also be provided with fasteners (not shown in the figure) on both sides for engaging with the upper opening of the waste box of the cleaning head housing 1. When installing the cover structure 2, the fasteners on both sides of the base 22 are engaged with the corresponding positions on the upper opening of the waste box of the cleaning head housing 1 to stably assemble the entire structure onto the upper opening of the waste box of the cleaning head housing 1. Conversely, when disassembling the entire cover structure 1, the entire cover structure 2 can be removed after the fasteners on both sides of the base 22 are disengaged from the corresponding positions on the upper opening of the waste box of the cleaning head housing 1.
[0063] In one or more optional embodiments, a guide plate 23 is provided on the side of the base 22 near the first accommodating cavity M. A through hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the guide plate 23. The through hole extends through the thickness of the guide plate 23 to connect the first accommodating cavity M with the interior of the base 22. Thus, the structure located in the base 22 passes through the through hole and is connected to the structure located in the first accommodating cavity M.
[0064] With the cover plate assembly 2 of this embodiment, when the internal components of the floor scrubber cleaning head housing 1 are damaged, the cover plate assembly 2 can be removed from the cleaning head housing 1, opening the openings at the front of the cleaning roller and the top of the dustbin of the floor scrubber; conversely, when assembling the cover plate assembly 1, the base 22 is engaged with the openings at the front of the cleaning roller and the top of the dustbin, covering the openings of the cleaning head housing of the floor scrubber. This cover plate assembly 1, which is easy to separate directly from the cleaning head housing, improves the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the internal components of the cleaning head housing 1.
[0065] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a floor scrubbing machine, which is provided with the cover plate assembly 2 described in the first aspect.
[0066] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
