Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cleaning equipment, and more particularly to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical objects play an indispensable role in daily life, widely distributed in high or distant locations such as clotheslines on balconies, security bars on windows, and fences in farms. However, cleaning these objects faces numerous challenges due to their material properties, installation location, height, and distance. Existing technologies for cleaning these cylindrical objects mainly rely on two cleaning systems: one is a basic cleaning device combining a telescopic pole and a fixed cleaning head; the other is manual cleaning by climbing to a height. However, the design of the fixed cleaning head lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to surfaces with different curvatures, resulting in blind spots when cleaning cylindrical objects and making it difficult to achieve comprehensive coverage. In addition, the disassembly and assembly process between the cleaning components and the pole is cumbersome and complex, greatly affecting the efficiency of the cleaning work. Manual cleaning not only poses a safety risk, increasing the risk of falls from heights, but also involves high labor costs and low cleaning efficiency. These problems not only significantly reduce the actual cleaning efficiency of cylindrical objects, but also expose operators to higher safety risks during frequent position adjustments. Meanwhile, the replacement of cleaning supplies takes too long, further reducing overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device that is easy to clean columnar objects at high places and whose cleaning consumables are easy to replace, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing operation difficulty and safety risks.

[0004] Technical solution: The cleaning device of this utility model includes a handle and a base at its top. The base is provided with an impact-triggered adaptive curling mechanism on its side, and the outer surface of the adaptive curling mechanism is provided with a flexible and detachable cleaning component.

[0005] Preferably, the adaptive curling mechanism includes a shape memory alloy layer, a flexible coating layer, and a first cleaning component fixed to the surface of the flexible coating layer by a detachable connection structure, arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device, including a handle 1, a base 2, and an impact-triggered adaptive curling mechanism 3. The handle 1 is made of carbon fiber and consists of two telescopic sections, with the surface of the grip section covered by an anti-slip coating layer 9. The anti-slip coating layer 9 is made of silicone, providing good anti-slip performance and comfort. Its surface has diamond-shaped raised textures to increase friction and prevent slippage during operation.

[0019] The base 2 is connected to the handle 1 via a rotary positioning mechanism. This mechanism includes a first rotating shaft 6 and a second rotating shaft 7, both made of 304 stainless steel, used to allow the base 2 to rotate 180° left and right and 180° forward and backward. Both rotating shafts are equipped with a locking mechanism, a spring-loaded pin structure. When the base 2 rotates to a preset angle, the pin automatically engages with the positioning hole in the shaft to lock it in place, preventing the base 2 from shifting during cleaning. By extending and retracting the handle 1 and rotating the rotary positioning mechanism, the operator can easily adjust the cleaning angle and range to ensure complete coverage of the surface being cleaned.

[0020] The base 2 has an impact-triggered adaptive curling mechanism 3 fixed to its side. Its core structure includes: a mounting plate installed in the internal interlayer of the base 2; a shape memory alloy layer connected to the mounting plate; a flexible covering layer covering the surface of the shape memory alloy layer; and a first cleaning component 4 fixed to the surface of the flexible covering layer via a detachable connection structure. The first cleaning component 4 is made of microfiber woven fabric, with a female fastener sewn on the back to match the self-locking hook-and-loop fastener 5. It is quick to install by pressing, or detached using Velcro, making it convenient to use. The surface of the flexible covering layer has a male fastener for the self-locking hook-and-loop fastener 5, facilitating the replacement of the first cleaning component 4. Simultaneously, a second cleaning component 8 is connected to the bottom surface of the base 2 via the self-locking hook-and-loop fastener 5. The second cleaning component 8 is a long strip of microfiber woven fabric used for cleaning stubborn stains in flat areas. When in contact with the surface of a cylindrical object, a light tap on the straightened shape memory alloy layer causes it to automatically curl, bringing the first cleaning component 4 onto the cylindrical surface. Sliding the handle 1 back and forth completes the cleaning of the cylindrical object, similar to the principle of a "snap ring." The combination of the extension and rotation positioning mechanism of the handle 1 makes the cleaning operation more flexible and efficient; the design of the self-locking fiber hook and loop fastener 5 simplifies the replacement process of the cleaning components.

[0021] The entire process of the device is as follows: When cleaning a columnar object at a height or distance is required, firstly, the adaptive curling mechanism 3 is straightened, and the first cleaning component 4 is pressed tightly to the flexible coating layer on the memory alloy layer using the self-locking fiber hook and loop fastener 5 to achieve a firm connection; then, the handle 1 is extended to the target length, the base 2 is adjusted to the optimal working angle using the rotation positioning mechanism, and the angle is locked using the locking mechanism; the adaptive curling mechanism 3 is extended to the vicinity of the columnar object to be cleaned, and the columnar object to be cleaned is lightly tapped with the adaptive curling mechanism 3. The impact force of the tap triggers the curling deformation of the memory metal layer, causing the first cleaning component 4 to adhere to the surface of the columnar object. After adhering, the handle 1 is pushed back and forth along the axial direction of the columnar object to be cleaned, and the fiber cloth of the first cleaning component 4 cleans the surface of the columnar object to be cleaned. After cleaning, when it is necessary to remove it from the columnar object to be cleaned, simply pull the handle 1 away from the columnar object to separate the adaptive curling mechanism 3 from the columnar object to be cleaned. Meanwhile, when cleaning a flat area, to avoid interference from the adaptive curling mechanism 3, first retract the adaptive curling mechanism 3 to the curled state; simultaneously, firmly attach the sheet-like second cleaning component 8 to the bottom of the base 2 using the self-locking hook and loop fastener 5. Extend the handle 1 to the target length, adjust the base 2 to the optimal working angle using the rotation positioning mechanism, and lock the angle using the locking mechanism to clean the flat area. The fiber cloth of the second cleaning component 8 effectively removes stubborn stains. When it is necessary to replace the cleaning component, simply tear off the first cleaning component 4 or the second cleaning component 8 to remove it. The new component is installed by pressing with the self-locking hook and loop fastener 5, making the operation simple and quick. By replacing the first cleaning component 4 and the second cleaning component 8, the cleaning needs of columnar objects and flat areas can be met respectively, expanding the application scenarios of the device.
