Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a multi-purpose sweeping machine. Background Art

[0002] The prior art discloses a cleaning tool that is an integrated mop and broom, comprising a handheld long pole, a box body for cleaning garbage, a drag plate and a mop cloth, wherein the long pole is mounted on the box body, through which garbage is stored, an inlet is arranged on the bottom surface, and a roller brush is arranged on the inlet, which can sweep garbage and dust on the ground into the box body, and the drag plate is detachably connected to the box body. When mopping the floor, the drag plate is mounted on the bottom surface of the box body, and then the mop cloth is mounted on the drag plate. The mounting structure is cumbersome, and the mopping area of ​​the mop cloth is subject to the size of the drag plate. If the size of the drag plate is made large, it will appear bulky, and if the size is made small, the mopping area of ​​the mop cloth will become smaller; and when sweeping the floor, the drag plate needs to be removed, otherwise it will affect the sweeping function of the tool, and the removed drag plate is separated from the tool, which is easy to cause the loss of the drag plate. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and to provide a multi-purpose sweeping machine which can both sweep and mop the floor, and enables a device for mounting a mop to be stored and unfolded on the sweeping machine.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solutions of the present invention are:

[0005] A multi-purpose sweeping machine comprises a sweeping machine body and a mounting bracket, wherein the body has a first working surface for sweeping the floor, the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the body, and the mounting bracket has at least a first position and a second position, the mounting bracket in the first position has a second working surface that cooperates with the first working surface, and the second working surface has at least an extended area extending out of the body; the mounting bracket in the second position does not obstruct the first working surface; and a limit device is also included, wherein the limit device provides a constraint to prevent the mounting bracket from changing to the second position when the mounting bracket is in the first position.

[0006] According to the multi-purpose sweeping machine of the present application, a mounting bracket for mounting the mop is directly arranged on the main body of the sweeping machine, having a first position in a working state and a second position in a storage position. The mounting bracket in the first position extends a second working surface to increase the working area of ​​the sweeping machine so that a larger mop can be installed. The mounting bracket in the second position rotates the second working surface to a position that does not affect the normal operation of the first working surface of the sweeping machine, and the mounting bracket does not affect the sweeping function of the sweeping machine. The constraint refers to the fact that certain conditions must be met in order for the mounting bracket in the first position to rotate to the second position, so that when the mounting bracket is in a working state, such as when the mounting bracket is mounted with a mop for mopping, it will not easily change position.

[0007] Furthermore, the main body is provided with an axial hole, the mounting bracket is provided with a rotating shaft installed in the axial hole, the rotating shaft is provided with a limiter, the limiter is a self-locking switch, and the limiter cooperates with the self-locking switch to form the constraint after the mounting bracket is turned to the first position. The self-locking switch is a relatively common switch device, in which a limiter is provided on a part that cooperates with the self-locking switch, and after the limiter conflicts with the self-locking switch once, the limiter is locked by the self-locking switch, and after the limiter conflicts with the automatic switch again in the same direction, the limiter is released by the self-locking switch, and the property of the self-locking switch is used to form a constraint that restricts the movement of the mounting bracket, which is very suitable for the scenario of the mounting bracket being installed with a mop to mop the floor. When the user needs to mop the floor, the mounting bracket is rotated from the second position to the first position, and the limiter conflicts with the self-locking switch for the first time at this time, and the limiter is locked by the self-locking switch, and during the mopping process, the force exerted on the mounting bracket by the interaction with the ground is opposite to the direction of unlocking the self-locking switch, so that the mounting bracket is always constrained in the first position during the mopping process.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is provided with an axial hole, the mounting bracket is provided with a rotating shaft installed in the axial hole, the limiting device includes a transmission mechanism and a power source, the rotating shaft is connected to a traditional mechanism for transmission, and the power source drives the rotating shaft to rotate and at least position to the first position or the second position. Directly driving the mounting bracket to rotate through the power source is convenient for users to use, but the cost is relatively high.

[0009] Furthermore, the power source includes a button, a self-locking switch and a spring, the button is connected to the transmission mechanism, the spring pushes up the button, so that the mounting bracket is in the second position; when the button is pressed down, the spring is compressed, and the self-locking switch locks the button, so that the mounting bracket is in the first position. This solution provides a manual power source structure, and the user can complete the rotation of the mounting bracket by pressing the button.

[0010] Furthermore, the power source is an electric motor.

[0011] Furthermore, the first working surface is the bottom surface of the main body, the shaft hole is provided on the back of the main body, the rotation path formed by the second working surface with the shaft as the center falls outside the main body, and the second working surface can be attached to the outer shell of the main body after rotating to the second position. The mounting bracket in the second position can be attached to the outer shell of the main body, so that the mounting bracket can be protected and supported by the outer shell, and the appearance of the sweeper can also be improved.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket further comprises an auxiliary mounting device, the auxiliary mounting device is connected to the main body, and the track of the auxiliary mounting device is concentric with the rotating shaft. The auxiliary mounting device can make the operation of the mounting bracket more stable.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting brackets are provided in at least two groups and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a mop, which is detachably and washably installed on the second work surface.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning roller, and the first working surface is provided with a garbage inlet cooperating with the cleaning roller, and the mounting bracket does not obstruct the garbage inlet at least when it is in the second position. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] A multi-purpose sweeping machine of the present invention is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 The multi-purpose sweeper shown is a common household cleaning tool, which usually includes a sweeper body 1, an operating lever, a water spray module and an installation module for installing a mop, so that the sweeper has both sweeping functions and water spray and mopping functions. It is convenient for users to use and is therefore very popular.

[0025] The main body 1 of the sweeping machine Figures 1 to 3As shown, a connecting member 11 is provided on the top surface of the main body 1 of the sweeper, and the connecting member 11 is used to be movably connected to the operating rod. The user can control the movement path of the main body 1 through the operating rod, so as to perform operations such as sweeping or mopping the floor; the water spray module is generally arranged on the operating rod, so as to facilitate the water spray operation when mopping the floor; the bottom surface of the main body 1 has a first working surface 13 for sweeping the floor, and also includes a cleaning roller 131, and the first working surface 13 is provided with a garbage inlet cooperating with the cleaning roller 131. When cleaning garbage, the operating rod pushes the main body 1 to move so that the cleaning roller 131 can rotate under the action of the friction with the ground, thereby sweeping the garbage from the garbage inlet into the main body 1.

[0026] The mounting bracket 2 includes a second working surface 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The main body 1 is provided with an axial hole 12, and the rotating shaft 22 is installed in the axial hole 12, so that the mounting bracket 2 can be rotatably installed on the main body 1, and there are at least a first position and a second position in the path in which the mounting bracket 2 can rotate. The mounting bracket 2 in the first position has a second working surface 21 that cooperates with the first working surface 13, and the second working surface 21 has at least an extended area extending out of the main body 1; the mounting bracket 2 in the second position does not hinder the first working surface 13; and it also includes a limit device, which provides a constraint to prevent the mounting bracket 2 from changing to the second position when it is in the first position.

[0027] like Figure 3 The mounting bracket 2 is shown in the second position, the first working surface 13 is the bottom surface of the main body 1, the shaft hole 12 is arranged on the back of the main body 1, the second working surface 21 forms a rotation path with the rotating shaft 22 as the center and falls outside the main body 1, the mounting bracket 2 does not obstruct the garbage entrance at least when it is in the second position, and the second working surface 21 can be attached to the outer shell of the main body 1 after rotating to the second position. The mounting bracket 2 in the second position can be attached to the outer shell of the main body 1, so that the mounting bracket 2 can be protected and supported by the outer shell, and the appearance of the sweeper can also be improved.

[0028] The mounting bracket 2 also includes an auxiliary mounting device, which is connected to the main body 1, and the track of the auxiliary mounting device is concentric with the rotating shaft 22. The auxiliary mounting device can make the operation of the mounting bracket 2 more stable. For example, the shaft hole 12 is set on the front and back of the column, and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with two rotating shafts 22 respectively matched therewith, and the matching mode of one rotating shaft 22 and the shaft hole 12 can be regarded as an auxiliary mounting device.

[0029] In addition, the auxiliary installation device can also be a slide groove arranged on the side of the main body 1 and a sliding block extending from the installation bracket 2 and cooperating with the slide groove.

[0030] As shown in the figure, the mounting brackets 2 are provided in at least two groups and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 1 .

[0031] It also includes a mop, which is detachably and washably installed on the second working surface 21 .

[0032] According to the multi-purpose sweeping machine of the present application, a mounting bracket 2 for mounting the mop is directly arranged on the main body 1 of the sweeping machine, and has a first position in a working state and a second position in a storage position. The mounting bracket 2 in the first position extends a second working surface 21 to increase the working area of ​​the sweeping machine so that a larger mop can be installed. The mounting bracket 2 in the second position rotates the second working surface 21 to a position that does not affect the normal operation of the first working surface 13 of the sweeping machine, and the mounting bracket 2 does not affect the sweeping function of the sweeping machine. The constraint refers to that certain conditions must be met in order for the mounting bracket 2 in the first position to rotate to the second position, so that when the mounting bracket 2 is in a working state, such as when the mounting bracket 2 is mounted with a mop for mopping, it will not change position easily.

[0033] The present invention provides several embodiments of the restraining structure.

[0034] Self-locking switch (15,143) Figure 4 As shown, there is a buckle tongue 151, when it conflicts with the self-locking switch (15, 143) for the first time, the buckle tongue 151 will be buckled, and when it conflicts with the self-locking switch (15, 143) again, the buckle tongue 151 will be released.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a limit member 221 is provided on the rotating shaft 22, and the limit device is a self-locking switch (15, 143). After the mounting bracket 2 is turned to the first position, the limit member 221 cooperates with the self-locking switch (15, 143) to form the constraint. The self-locking switch (15, 143) is a relatively common switch device, in which a limit member 221 is provided on a part that cooperates with the self-locking switch (15, 143). After the limit member 221 contacts the self-locking switch (15, 143) once, the limit member 221 is locked by the self-locking switch (15, 143). After the limit member 221 contacts the automatic switch again in the same direction, the limit member 221 is released by the self-locking switch (15, 143), and the properties of the self-locking switch (15, 143) are used to form a limit on the movement of the mounting bracket 2. The constraint is very suitable for the scenario where the mounting bracket 2 is installed with a mop to mop the floor. When the user needs to mop the floor, the mounting bracket 2 is rotated from the second position to the first position. At this time, the limit member 221 conflicts with the self-locking switch (15, 143) for the first time, and the limit member 221 is locked by the self-locking switch (15, 143). During the mopping process, the force exerted on the mounting bracket 2 by the interaction with the ground is opposite to the direction of unlocking the self-locking switch (15, 143), so that the mounting bracket 2 is always constrained in the first position during the mopping process.

[0037] Embodiment 2,

[0038] The main body 1 is provided with an axis hole 12, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 22 installed in the axis hole 12, the limiting device includes a transmission mechanism 145 and a power source, the rotating shaft 22 is connected to the traditional mechanism for transmission, and the power source drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate and position at least to the first position or the second position. Directly driving the mounting bracket 2 to rotate through the power source is convenient for users to use, but the cost is relatively high.

[0039] The power source includes a button 141, a self-locking switch (15, 143) and a spring 144. The button 141 is connected to a transmission mechanism 145. The spring 144 lifts the button 141 to place the mounting bracket 2 in the second position. When the button 141 is pressed down, the limiter 142 on the button 141 cooperates with the self-locking switch (15, 143), the spring 144 is compressed, and the self-locking switch (15, 143) locks the button 141 to place the mounting bracket 2 in the first position. This solution provides a manual power source structure, and the user can complete the rotation of the mounting bracket 2 by pressing the button 141.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] On the basis of Example 2, the power source is replaced by a motor, which can make it more convenient for users to operate the mounting bracket 2.
