[0055] To further illustrate the principles and structures of the present disclosure, the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present disclosure provides a cleaning system, including: a cleaning robot 300 and a cleaning base station 100.
[0057] The cleaning robot 300 can be any one of a floor sweeping robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, a mopping robot, a floor washing robot, a window cleaning robot, etc.
[0058] The cleaning robot 300 includes a robot body 301 and a mopping and wiping member 302 disposed on the robot body 301. The mopping and wiping member 302 can be used to clean the floor, wall, glass, etc. The mopping and wiping member 302 can be any one of a disc-shaped structure, a flat plate-shaped structure, a drum-shaped structure, etc. Those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. The mopping and wiping member 302 can be one or more than one. Multiple mopping and wiping members 302 can effectively expand the cleaning area and improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning robot 300.
[0059] The cleaning robot 300 is detachably disposed on the cleaning base station 100. During operation, the cleaning robot 300 leaves the cleaning base station 100. The cleaning robot 300 can be designed to autonomously plan a path on the ground or can be designed to move on the ground in response to a remote control instruction. The cleaning robot 300 can navigate through a combination of one or several of a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a camera, GPS positioning, and / or lidar, etc. For example, the cleaning robot 300 can protrudingly dispose a lidar on the top surface, scan the surrounding environment through the lidar to collect obstacle data, establish an environmental map based on the obstacle data, and can perform real-time positioning according to the environmental map to facilitate planning the cleaning path.
[0060] The cleaning base station 100 is used to maintain the cleaning robot 300. The cleaning base station 100 can perform any one or more of charging, cleaning the mopping and wiping member 302, or cleaning medium replenishment, etc. on the cleaning robot 300.
[0061] The cleaning base station 100 includes a base station body and various maintenance devices such as charging, cleaning, or medium replenishment installed inside or on the base station body.
[0062] The base station body is generally in the shape of a cuboid. In other embodiments, the base station body can also be designed in the shape of a cylinder, and its external shape can be changed according to the actual application site or aesthetic requirements.
[0063] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. and, a cleaning bracket 200 is provided at a position of the cleaning base station 100 close to the ground. The cleaning bracket 200 is fixed or clamped on the cleaning base station 100. A cleaning groove 201 is provided on the cleaning bracket 200. The cleaning groove 201 is arranged in a concave structure to form a receiving cavity. A cleaning assembly 203 is arranged in the receiving cavity for cleaning the mopping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300 to keep it dry and clean, avoid mildew, breed bacteria and generate peculiar smell.
[0064] After the cleaning robot 300 finishes working, it can autonomously return to the cleaning base station 100 or can also return to the cleaning base station 100 in response to a remote control instruction. When the cleaning robot 300 returns to the cleaning base station 100, the mopping member 302 is located above the cleaning groove 201 of the cleaning base station 100 or at least partially received in the cleaning groove 201 to facilitate the cleaning assembly 203 in the cleaning groove 201 to clean and air-dry it.
[0065] A ramp 202 is also provided on the cleaning bracket 200. The cleaning groove 201 is arranged at the end of the ramp 202. When the cleaning robot 300 returns to the cleaning base station 100 for maintenance, it can climb up along the ramp 202 by itself until its mopping member 302 is located in the cleaning groove 201 or above the cleaning groove 201. When the cleaning robot 300 leaves the cleaning base station 100 for cleaning, the cleaning robot 300 can slowly descend along the ramp 202 to the ground by itself to avoid dropping and breaking due to the height difference.
[0066] A pull-out groove 101 is provided on the base station body of the cleaning base station 100 in this embodiment. The cleaning bracket 200 is placed in the pull-out groove 101 in a pull-out manner so that the user can pull out the cleaning bracket 200 to pour out or clean the dirt in the cleaning groove 201.
[0067] In other embodiments, the cleaning bracket 200 can also be fixed or integrally arranged on the cleaning base station 100, and a filter member 204 (as shown in FIG.) is arranged on the bottom and / or both side walls of the cleaning groove 201. When the cleaning assembly 203 finishes cleaning the mopping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300, the sewage and dirt remaining in the cleaning groove 201 are swept by the cleaning assembly 203 into the filter members 204 on both sides of the cleaning groove 201. Figure 3 As shown in FIG.,
[0068] The filter member 204 can be designed as a low-cost detachable disposable consumable. After being used multiple times, it can be directly replaced with a new filter member 204, which is both convenient and worry-free.
[0069] The filter element 204 can also be designed as a non-detachable self-cleaning structure. For example, a sewage suction structure and a clean water flushing structure are designed below the filter element 204, and a clean water tank, a sewage tank and a deep cleaning tank with a detergent are designed in the cleaning base station 100. The deep cleaning tank and the clean water tank are connected to the bottom of the filter element 204 through a pipeline, and a nozzle is installed below the filter element 204. The sewage tank is also connected to the bottom of the filter element 204 through a pipeline, and the sewage suction method can be negative pressure suction or water pump suction. When the cleaning component 203 completes the cleaning of the mopping and wiping part 302 of the cleaning robot 300, the clean water flushing structure below the filter element 204 is automatically started, and clean water is sprayed to the filter element 204 through the nozzle to flush it. If necessary, a detergent can also be mixed in the clean water to deeply clean the filter element 204. After cleaning, the sewage suction structure is automatically started, and the sewage in the filter element 204 is automatically pumped away and stored in the sewage tank.
[0070] The filter element 204 may also be designed as a partially detachable structure, for example, a filter screen is provided on the filter element, and solid dirt is filtered on the surface of the filter screen, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.
[0071] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cleaning assembly 203 is disposed in the cleaning tank 201 and includes a movable frame 30 and a rotating cleaning member 10 capable of discharging air.
[0072] The shape of the cleaning tank 201 can match the shape of the mopping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300. For example, if the mopping member 302 is a rectangular flat plate, the cleaning tank 201 is usually also set to a rectangular shape; if the mopping member 302 is round, the cleaning tank 201 can be set to a round shape, a square shape, or a rectangular shape; if the mopping member 302 is a roller brush shape, the cleaning tank 201 can be set to a rectangular shape or a square shape.
[0073] In order to facilitate the movement of the movable frame 30 and adapt to more shapes of the mopping member 302, the cleaning tank 201 is usually configured to be square, rectangular or square.
[0074] The movable frame 30 is installed at the cleaning tank 201 through the transmission mechanism 40 and can reciprocate in the cleaning tank 201 .
[0075] The rotating cleaning member 10 is rotatably mounted on the movable frame 30, and the movable frame 30 is hollowed out at least in the direction facing the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and the direction away from the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 (i.e., the direction facing the wiping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300), so as to expose the rotating cleaning member 10 to the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and the wiping member 302, so that the rotating cleaning member 10 can contact clean or blow dry the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and the wiping member 302.
[0076] The transmission mechanism 40 is drivingly connected to the moving frame 30 and rotatably connected to the rotary cleaning member 10. When it is necessary to clean the mopping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300, the transmission mechanism 40 is controlled to drive the moving frame 30 to reciprocate along the cleaning tank 201, and at the same time drive the rotary cleaning member 10 to rotate, so that the moving frame 30 moves from one end to the other end of the mopping member 302 at the bottom of the mopping member 302. While moving, the rotary cleaning member 10 is driven to rotate and move along with the moving frame 30. When the rotary cleaning member 10 rotates to contact the mopping member 302, the mopping member 302 can be slapped or scraped for cleaning, so that the dirt on the mopping member 302 falls downward into the cleaning tank 201 due to slapping or scraping; at the same time, when the rotary cleaning member 10 rotates to contact the bottom of the cleaning tank 201, the rotary cleaning member 10 can scrape the bottom of the tank, and the dirt dropped by the mopping member 302 is gradually cleaned to both ends of the cleaning tank 201 along with the movement of the moving frame 30. At the same time, since the rotary cleaning member 10 can blow air while rotating (the air blowing principle will be described in detail below), when the rotary cleaning member 10 cleans the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, on the one hand, the dirt on the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 can be blown, so that it is blown to both ends of the cleaning tank 201, and on the other hand, the water stains in the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 can be dried, so that the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 are kept dry and avoid mildew and odor.
[0077] The moving frame 30 can reciprocate along the length direction of the cleaning tank 201 or along the width direction of the cleaning tank 201.
[0078] The number and moving direction of the cleaning assembly 203 composed of the moving frame 30 and the rotary cleaning member 10 can be changed according to the setting orientation of the number of mopping members 302. When the number of mopping members 302 is multiple, the cleaning assemblies 203 can be correspondingly set to multiple to ensure that each position of each mopping member 302 can be contacted by the rotary cleaning member 10 for comprehensive brushing and drying; when the mopping member 302 is horizontally arranged, the cleaning assembly 203 can correspondingly move horizontally along the mopping member 302; when the mopping member 302 is vertically arranged, the cleaning assembly 203 can correspondingly move vertically along the mopping member 302.
[0079] In this embodiment, one rotary cleaning member 10 is arranged on the moving frame 30. In other embodiments, the number of rotary cleaning members 10 on the moving frame 30 can also be two or more. For example, two rotary cleaning members 10 are arranged on one moving frame 30, and the rotation directions of the two rotary cleaning members 10 can be the same. For example, both rotate clockwise or both rotate counterclockwise. The rotation directions of the two rotary cleaning members 10 can also be relatively rotated in opposite directions. In this way, the wind power generated during the rotation can be simultaneously converged to the middle position between each other to increase the wind power output.
[0080] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transmission mechanism 40 includes: a conveyor belt 41, a tensioning wheel 42, a movable wheel 43, a power source 44 and an eccentric shaft 45.
[0081] The conveyor belt 41 is arranged along the moving direction of the moving frame 30 . In this embodiment, the moving frame 30 moves along the length direction of the cleaning tank 201 . Therefore, the conveyor belt 41 of this embodiment is arranged along the length direction of the cleaning tank 201 .
[0082] The conveyor belt 41 can be a belt or a rack. When the conveyor belt 41 is a belt, the tension wheel 42 and the movable wheel 43 are corresponding pulleys, and when the conveyor belt 41 is a rack, the tension wheel 42 and the movable wheel 43 are corresponding gears.
[0083] There are at least two tensioning wheels 42 , which are tensioned on both ends of the conveyor belt 41 , so that the conveyor belt 41 is tensioned and contacts or engages with the movable wheel 43 , so that the movable wheel 43 rolls along the conveyor belt 41 and achieves translation.
[0084] The power source 44 can be any mechanism capable of outputting rotational kinetic energy, such as a motor, various hydraulic, pneumatic or electric motors, etc. The power source 44 is connected to at least one tensioning wheel 42, and drives the tensioning wheel 42 to rotate, thereby causing the tensioning wheel 42 to drive the conveyor belt 41 to move, and the conveyor belt 41 is contacted or engaged with the movable wheel 43, thereby driving the movable wheel 43 to roll along the conveyor belt 41 to achieve translation.
[0085] The movable frame 30 is rotatably connected to the movable wheel 43. When the movable wheel 43 moves along the conveyor belt 41, the movable frame 30 is also driven to move along the conveyor belt 41. Since the conveyor belt 41 is arranged along the length direction of the cleaning tank 201, when the movable frame 30 moves along the conveyor belt 41, the movable frame 30 also moves along the length direction of the cleaning tank 201.
[0086] The rotating cleaning member 10 can be rotatably mounted on the moving frame 30 through the transmission box 46, and the rotating cleaning member 10 is transmission-connected to the movable wheel 43 through the transmission box 46, so that the movable wheel 43 rotates to drive the rotating cleaning member 10. The transmission box 46 can change the rotation speed of the rotating cleaning member 10, so that the rotation speed of the rotating cleaning member 10 is greater than or less than the rotation speed of the movable wheel 43.
[0087] The rotating cleaning member 10 can also be installed on the moving frame 30 through a bearing, and is transmission-connected to the movable wheel 43 through the bearing, so that the rotating cleaning member 10 rotates synchronously with the movable wheel 43 .
[0088] The side walls of the movable frame 30 corresponding to the rotating cleaning member 10 at both ends in the axial direction are respectively provided with a slider 45 and a slider 47, and guide holes (shown in the figure) for the slider 45 and the slider 47 to pass through are respectively provided on the two opposite groove walls of the cleaning groove 201. The slider 45 can be a rotating shaft, one end of which is fixedly connected to the movable wheel 43, and the other end is installed on the movable frame 30 through a bearing or a transmission box 46, and is rotatably connected to the rotating cleaning member 10. The slider 47 is fixed on the other side wall of the movable frame 30 relative to the movable wheel 43, and is located on its outer side wall, and the end of the slider 47 is fixed with a limiting block 48. When the movable frame 30 reciprocates in the cleaning groove 201, the slider 45 and the slider 47 move along the guide holes on the two opposite side walls of the cleaning groove 201, respectively, so as to provide a moving guide for the movable frame 30 and prevent the movable frame 30 from being offset. The limiting block 48 is used to provide an axial limit for the movable frame 30 to prevent the movable frame 30 from being offset in the axial direction.
[0089] A power source 44 may be provided at one end of the conveyor belt 41. When the power source 44 outputs kinetic energy in a set direction (e.g., clockwise), the movable frame 30 is driven by the transmission mechanism 40 to move to one end of the cleaning tank 201. At this time, the power source 44 outputs kinetic energy in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise), and the movable frame 30 is driven by the transmission mechanism 40 to move back to the other end of the cleaning tank 201. This process is repeated repeatedly to achieve reciprocating motion of the movable frame 30 along the cleaning tank 201.
[0090] A power source 44 may also be provided at each end of the conveyor belt 41 . The two power sources 44 work alternately to drive the conveyor belt to move in opposite directions, thereby enabling the movable frame 30 to reciprocate along the cleaning tank 201 .
[0091] More preferably, the transmission mechanism 40 drives the movable frame 30 to reciprocate along the cleaning tank 201, and can also drive the movable frame 30 to float up and down in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the cleaning tank 201, so that the rotating cleaning member 10 on the movable frame 30 cleans the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 alternately.
[0092] Specifically, the slider 45 fixedly connected to the movable wheel 43 is a rotating shaft, and the fixed position of the rotating shaft deviates from the center of the movable wheel 43 to form an eccentric shaft. The eccentric shaft is connected to the moving frame 46 by transmission, for example, the eccentric shaft can be connected to the moving frame 30 through a bearing. When the power source 44 drives the tension wheel 42 to rotate, the movable wheel 43 rolls and translates along the conveyor belt 41, and drives the eccentric shaft to rotate. Since the eccentric shaft deviates from the center of the movable wheel 43, the eccentric shaft will generate translation in the up and down directions when rotating, thereby driving the moving frame 30 to float up and down and reciprocate along the cleaning tank 201.
[0093] When the moving frame 30 floats upward, the rotary cleaning member 10 on the moving frame 30 contacts and cleans the mopping member 302 on the cleaning robot 300. At the same time, the rotary cleaning member 10 leaves the bottom of the cleaning tank 201, and uses the blowing function of the rotary cleaning member 10 to blow and dry the bottom of the tank. When the moving frame 30 floats downward, the rotary cleaning member 10 on the moving frame 30 contacts and cleans the bottom of the cleaning tank 201. At the same time, the rotary cleaning member 10 leaves the mopping member 302 on the cleaning robot 300, and uses the blowing function of the rotary cleaning member 10 to blow and dry the mopping member 302 on the cleaning robot 300. In this way, it reciprocates alternately, so that the rotary cleaning member 10 alternately cleans and dries the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0094] In other embodiments, the above transmission mechanism 40 can also be replaced with a lead screw-nut pair structure, that is, a nut is sleeved on the lead screw, and the nut can move spirally along the lead screw. The nut is rotatably connected to the moving frame 30, and the power source is connected to the lead screw and drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby realizing the linear motion of the nut along the lead screw, and further driving the moving frame 30 to move linearly along the lead screw. Similarly, by alternately driving the lead screw to rotate in different directions by the power source, the moving frame 30 can be made to reciprocate along the lead screw. According to the need, the lead screw is arranged along the set orientation of the cleaning tank 201, and the moving frame 30 can be made to reciprocate along the cleaning tank 201.
[0095] In addition, the power source can also drive the lead screw to rotate through a cam and an eccentric shaft, so that the lead screw can float up and down while rotating, and further drive the moving frame 30 to float up and down accordingly.
[0096] In other embodiments, the above transmission mechanism can also be replaced with a cylinder or an oil cylinder structure. The piston rod end of the cylinder or the oil cylinder is connected to the moving frame 30, so that the moving frame 30 reciprocates along the cleaning tank 201.
[0097] In addition, wavy limiting holes can be provided on the wall of the cleaning tank 201. The moving frame 30 is flexibly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder or the oil cylinder through a limiting block passing through the wavy limiting holes. The flexible connection structure between the limiting block and the piston rod can be realized by the existing technology. When the cylinder or the oil cylinder pushes the moving frame 30 to reciprocate, the limiting block moves up and down along the wavy limiting holes, and at the same time drives the moving frame 30 to float up and down.
[0098] Further, the moving frame 30 can float up and down elastically, so that the rotary cleaning member 10 on the moving frame 30 gently contacts the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201. On the one hand, it protects the rotary cleaning member 10, and on the other hand, it also protects the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, avoiding mutual hard impact contact and reducing the service life of each other.
[0099] Specifically, a spring can be provided in the up-and-down movement direction of the moving frame 30 to pull the moving frame 30 to elastically float up and down. A flexible buffer can also be provided on the rotary cleaning member 10, such as a flexible silicone or rubber buffer structure in contact with the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201. A buffer made of a spring or flexible material can also be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the moving frame 30, so that the moving frame 30 elastically contacts the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 when floating up and down.
[0100] Flexible scraping members can be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the moving frame 30 to contact the bottom of the cleaning tank 201. Thus, when the moving frame 30 reciprocates along the cleaning tank 201, the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 is scraped, and the dirt at the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 is brought to both ends of the cleaning tank 201. Similarly, the moving frame 30 can also contact the wiping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300 through the flexible scraping member, so as to assist the rotary cleaning member 10 to scrape the wiping member 302 of the cleaning robot 300, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0101] Preferably, there is a gap between the moving frame 30 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 201. During operation, the rotary cleaning member 10 rotates and blows air at the same time. The gap provides a channel for the exhausted air, and the exhausted air blows away the dirt at the bottom of the cleaning tank 201. The dirt follows the movement of the moving frame 30 and is blown to both ends of the cleaning tank 201 and collected in the filter members 204 at both ends of the cleaning tank 201.
[0102] The moving frame 30 can be a square frame, or a frame or non-frame structure of other shapes, as long as the rotary cleaning member 10 can be installed thereon.
[0103] Preferably, the moving frame 30 is a frame structure. The structure forming the frame of the moving frame 30 can be a plate structure or a ventilated hollow structure, so that the air blown out by the rotary cleaning member 10 can blow through the hollow part of the moving frame 30 to both ends of the cleaning tank 201, and the dirt is also blown to both ends of the cleaning tank 201.
[0104] The rotary cleaning member 10 can either form a blowing air flow by rotating its own structure to squeeze the surrounding air, or the air blown out by the fan inside the cleaning base 100 is delivered to the air outlet holes on the surface of the rotary cleaning member 10, or both.
[0105] The detailed structure of the rotary cleaning member will be illustrated by multiple embodiments below, but the following embodiments are only illustrative and not exhaustive.
[0106] The first embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0107] Refer to Figure 5 , the rotary cleaning member 10h of this embodiment includes a roller 11h and a plurality of spaced-apart protruding scraping members provided on the roller 11h.
[0108] In this embodiment, the scraping member is a wiper blade 12h. The wiper blade 12h is arc-shaped, and a pocket groove 121h that can catch wind and water is formed in the concave direction of the wiper blade 12h. Each wiper blade 12h is distributed at intervals on the surface of the roller and is bent relative to the axial direction of the roller 11h, and the bending directions of the wiper blades 12h are the same, that is, the pocket grooves 121h on each wiper blade 12h all face the same rotation direction of the rotary cleaning member 10h, for example, all face the clockwise or counterclockwise wind direction.
[0109] The wiper blade 12h can be used to scrape the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and wipe the wiping member 302, so as to take away stubborn stains and moisture on the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and the wiping member 302. The wiper blade 12h can be made of a soft material, such as soft silicone, to reduce damage to the wiping member 302, and at the same time ensure that the cleaning has sufficient brushing force to ensure the cleaning degree.
[0110] When the rotary cleaning member 10h rotates, the wiper blade 12h can also squeeze the surrounding air to generate an air flow blowing towards the bottom of the cleaning tank 201 and the wiping member 302, so as to quickly remove the moisture on the cleaning tank 201 and the wiping member 302 and improve the drying degree.
[0111] In addition, the pocket groove 121h on the wiper blade 12h can catch wind and water during the rotation of the roller 11h. The rotary cleaning member 10h can have a wind-catching mode and a water-catching mode. During operation, either mode can be arbitrarily selected according to the setting, or the two working modes can be started successively. For example: when cleaning the wiping member 302 on the cleaning robot 300, the rotary cleaning member 10h works in the water-catching mode, that is, an appropriate amount of clean water or washing water with detergent is placed in the cleaning tank 201. When the rotary cleaning member 10h rotates, the washing water is caught by the pocket groove 121h on the wiper blade 12h and splashed onto the wiping member 302 as it rotates with the rotary cleaning member 10h. By contacting the wiping member 302 with the wiper blade 12h, the wiping member 302 is slapped and scraped, so that the wiping member 302 can be more easily cleaned under the action of water. After the wiping member 302 is cleaned with water, the water in the cleaning tank 201 is drained, and the rotary cleaning member 10h is started again. At this time, the rotary cleaning member 10h works in the wind-catching mode. The pocket groove 121h on the wiper blade 12h converges the air flow by catching wind, and generates a strong converging air flow as it rotates with the rotary cleaning member 10h, blowing towards the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, quickly air-drying the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, and avoiding the generation of peculiar smells and the growth of bacteria.
[0112] The wiper blade 12h of this embodiment is arc-shaped, and its bending radian a is preferably less than π to avoid blocking the flow of air by an excessive bending radian.
[0113] The second embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0114] Refer toFigure 6 In this embodiment, the rotary cleaning member 10k includes a roller 11k and a plurality of wavy wiper blades 12k disposed on the roller 11k. Each wiper blade 12k extends along the axial direction of the roller 11k, and each wiper blade 12k is radially distributed outwardly with the roller 11k as the center.
[0115] The wiper blades 12k form alternately distributed peak portions 121k and valley portions 122k in the axial direction of the roller 11k. The peak portions 121k and the valley portions 122k respectively enclose a pocket 123k, and the pockets 123k of the peak portions 121k and the valley portions 122k face opposite rotational directions of the roller 11k. For example, the pocket 123k of the peak portion 121k faces the counterclockwise direction, and the pocket 123k of the valley portion 122k faces the clockwise direction.
[0116] The pockets 123k of the peak portions 121k and the valley portions 122k of the rotary cleaning member 10k can hold water during rotation, splash water on the wiping member 302 for cleaning, and generate a strong air current blowing towards the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 after cleaning, so that the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 can be quickly air-dried.
[0117] In this embodiment, the peak portions 121k and the valley portions 122k of the wiper blade 12k form a wavy shape along the axial direction of the roller 11K, and this wavy shape conforms to the flow trend of the air flow, making the air flow more smooth and enhancing the wind force.
[0118] The third embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0119] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the rotary cleaning member 10a includes: a roller 11a and a plurality of flat first wiper blades 121a and a plurality of wavy second wiper blades 122a disposed on the roller 11a.
[0120] The first wiper blades 121a and the second wiper blades 122a are radially distributed outwardly with the roller 11a as the center, making the cross-section of the rotary cleaning member 10a in the shape of a propeller, so as to conform to the aerodynamic principle, increase the air production capacity of the rotary cleaning member 10a, and quickly air-dry the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0121] The first wiper blades 121a are distributed in a wavy and folded shape along the axial direction of the roller 11a. They form alternately distributed peak portions 1222a and valley portions 1221a in the axial direction of the roller 11a. The peak portions 1222a and the valley portions 1221a respectively enclose a pocket 1223a, and the pockets of the peak portions 1222a and the valley portions 1221a face opposite rotational directions of the roller 11a.
[0122] The first wiper 121a in this embodiment and the wiper 12k in the second embodiment of the rotary cleaning member are both wavy and extend along the axial direction of the roller 11a. The difference is that the bending arc a of the first wiper 121a in this embodiment is smaller, less than 1 / 2π, while the bending arc of the wiper 12k in the second embodiment of the rotary cleaning member is greater than 1 / 2π. Therefore, the first wiper 121a in this embodiment forms more crest portions 1222a and trough portions 1221a, and thus forms more pocket grooves 1223a.
[0123] The flat first wiper 121a is in a plate shape as a whole and extends along the axial direction of the roller 11a. It can be made of a hard glue, such as hard silicone. This flat first wiper 121a can be used to scrape off the moisture on the mopping member 302 and in the cleaning tank 201.
[0124] The pleated second wiper 122a can be made of a soft glue, such as soft silicone. It can be used for wind scooping and water scooping, pour water on the mopping member 302 for cleaning, and generate a strong wind current blowing towards the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 during wind scooping after cleaning, so that the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 are quickly air-dried.
[0125] The first wiper 121a and the second wiper 122a are alternately distributed along the circumferential direction of the roller 11a. During cleaning, it can reduce the damage to the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, and at the same time ensure that the cleaning has sufficient brushing strength and improve the cleaning degree.
[0126] The fourth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0127] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the rotary cleaning member 10b includes: a roller 11b and a plurality of flat first wipers 121b and a plurality of corrugated second wipers 122b provided on the roller 11b.
[0128] The second wiper 122b is in a corrugated shape extending along the axial direction of the roller 11b, and includes: a base section 1221b extending in a wavy shape along the axial direction of the roller 11b and a bent section 1222b formed by bending and extending from the base section 1221b in the rotation direction of the roller. The end of the bent section 1222b is buckled towards the surface of the roller 11b, and together with the wavy base section 1221b on its buckled side, it encloses a pocket groove 1223b.
[0129] The base section 1221b of the corrugated second wiper blade 122b in this embodiment is the same as the first wiper blade 121a of the third embodiment of the above-mentioned rotary cleaning member, and both have a wave crest portion 1224b and a wave trough portion 1225b that alternately extend along the axial direction of the roller 11b. The corrugated second wiper blade 122b in this embodiment is equivalent to adding a bending section 1222b on the basis of the first wiper blade 121a of the third embodiment of the above-mentioned rotary cleaning member.
[0130] The bending section 1222b includes an arched cover wall 1226b formed by bending the wave crest portion 1224b of the base section 1221b inwardly towards the surface of the roller 11b and a concave cover wall 1227b formed by bending the wave trough portion 1225b of the base section 1221b inwardly towards the surface of the roller 11b.
[0131] When the rotary cleaning member 10b works, the inner concave sides of the arched cover wall 1226b and the concave cover wall 1227b of the bending section 1222b form a semi-surrounding shield for the wave crest portion 1224b and the wave trough portion 1225b of the base section 1221b, thereby increasing the wind-catching and water-catching capabilities of the pocket groove 1223b, and further accelerating the rapid cleaning and rapid drying of the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201; at the same time, the arched cover wall 1226b and the concave cover wall 1227b of the bending section 1222b also form a smooth curve diversion surface with the wave crest portion 1224b and the wave trough portion 1225b of the base section 1221b on the outside of their backs facing away from the inner concave sides, enabling water and air flow to pass through more smoothly, reducing the resistance of the rotary cleaning member 10b to rotate, and making its operation smoother and more energy-efficient.
[0132] The flat first wiper blade 121b and the corrugated second wiper blade 122b are alternately distributed along the circumferential direction of the roller 11b. The first wiper blade 121b and the second wiper blade 122b can be made of different hard materials. The first wiper blade 121b is preferably made of a relatively hard material, mainly used for scraping off the moisture on the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 and stabilizing stains. The second wiper blade 122b is preferably made of a relatively soft material, mainly used for wind-catching and water-catching, and thoroughly cleaning and air-drying the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201. The alternating distribution of the first wiper blade 121b and the second wiper blade 122b can reduce the damage to the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, and at the same time can also ensure that the cleaning has sufficient brushing strength and improve the cleaning degree.
[0133] The fifth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0134] Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 This embodiment of the rotary cleaning member 10c includes: a roller 11c and a plurality of first wiper blades 121c and a plurality of corrugated second wiper blades 122c provided on the roller 11c.
[0135] A plurality of first scraping blades 121c and a plurality of corrugated second scraping blades 122c are radially distributed outwardly centered on the roller 11b.
[0136] The first scraping blades 121c and the corrugated second scraping blades 122c are alternately distributed along the circumferential direction of the roller 11c.
[0137] The structure of the corrugated second scraping blade 122c is the same as that of the second scraping blade 122b in the fourth embodiment of the above-mentioned rotary cleaning member, and will not be described in detail here.
[0138] The first scraping blade 121c includes a flat plate portion 1211c extending axially along the roller 11c and an arc portion 1212c bent from the flat plate portion 1211c in the rotational direction of the roller 11c. The bending direction of the arc portion 1212c is the same as the bending direction of the bending section 1222c of the second scraping blade 122c, that is, if the bending section 1222c of the second scraping blade 122c is bent counterclockwise, then the arc portion 1212c is also bent counterclockwise. In this way, each scraping blade has the functions of catching wind and water, improving the drying efficiency and cleaning effect on the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0139] The sixth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0140] Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 This embodiment of the rotary cleaning member 10d includes: a roller 11d and a plurality of first scraping blades 121d and a plurality of second scraping blades 122d provided on the roller 11d.
[0141] A plurality of first scraping blades 121d and a plurality of second scraping blades 122d are radially distributed outwardly centered on the roller 11b.
[0142] The first scraping blade 121d has the same structure as the first scraping blade 121c in the fifth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member, and will not be described in detail here.
[0143] The second scraping blade 122d includes: a plurality of arc-shaped walls 1221d that are connected to each other and bent in the same direction along the axial direction of the roller 11d, and an arched cover wall 1222d formed by bending and extending from the end of the arc-shaped wall 1221d away from the roller 11d in the rotational direction of the roller 11d.
[0144] The arc-shaped wall 1221d in this embodiment is different from the wavy scraping blade 12k in the second embodiment of the above-mentioned rotary cleaning member. The above-mentioned wavy scraping blade 12k is composed of alternating wave crest portions 121k and wave trough portions 122k, and the bending directions of the wave crest portions 121k and the wave trough portions 122k are opposite. Each wave crest portion 121k and each wave trough portion 122k respectively form a chord arc, and the bending directions of adjacent chord arcs are opposite.
[0145] The arc-shaped wall 1221d of this embodiment is composed of multiple continuous chord arcs with the same bending direction. The adjacent chord arcs have the same bending direction, and the adjacent chord arcs are connected and form a dividing rib 1224d at the connection.
[0146] The arched cover wall 1222d of the second wiper 122d is buckled inward towards the roller 11d, and a pocket groove 1225d is formed on its inward buckling side. This arched cover wall 1222d helps to enhance the air-catching and water-catching capabilities of the pocket groove 1225d, improving the drying efficiency and cleaning effect on the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0147] The seventh embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0148] Refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 In this embodiment, the rotary cleaning member 10e includes: a roller 11e and a plurality of wiper blades 12e arranged on the roller 11e and extending along the axial direction of the roller 11e.
[0149] The wiper blade 12e is an arc-shaped plate, and its cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller 11e is arc-shaped. That is, the axial projection of each wiper blade 12e along the roller 11e is the same as the cross-section of each wiper blade 12e perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller 11e, both being arc-shaped.
[0150] The bending radian of this arc-shaped plate is less than π, so as to avoid too large a radian from blocking the flow of air, thereby increasing the wind force. Each wiper blade 12e forms a pocket groove 125e. When the rotary cleaning member 10e rotates, the arc-shaped plate squeezes the air to form an air flow, and the pocket groove 125e converges the air flow and blows it towards the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, so that the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 can be quickly dried. At the same time, the arc-shaped plate can also catch water and scrape the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, cleaning the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 thoroughly.
[0151] Viewed from the cross-section of the rotary cleaning member 10e, the arc-shaped plates are radially distributed with the roller 11e as the center, and the bending directions of the arc-shaped plates are the same. For example, they all bend counterclockwise or all bend clockwise. The cross-sectional shape of the rotary cleaning member 10e is in the shape of a propeller to enhance the wind force.
[0152] The eighth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0153] Refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 In this embodiment, the rotary cleaning member 10f includes: a roller 11f and a plurality of wiper blades 12f arranged on the roller 11f and extending along the axial direction of the roller 11f.
[0154] Each blade 12f on the roller 11f is wavy, and the blade 12f extends outward in a wavy shape along the radial direction of the roller 11f. The cross-section of each blade 12f perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller 11e is wavy, that is, the axial projection of each blade 12f along the roller 11f is the same as the cross-section of each blade 12f perpendicular to the axial direction, both of which are wavy. The blade 12f forms alternately extending peak portions 121f and valley portions 122f in the radial direction of the roller 11f. In this way, it is closer to the direction and trend of the air flow, making the air flow during the rotation of the rotary cleaning member 10f smoother, thereby enhancing the wind force.
[0155] The peak portion 121f and the valley portion 122f of the blade 12f respectively form pocket grooves 125f with different concave directions. Thus, a plurality of water-catching and wind-catching channels are formed in the radial direction of the rotary cleaning member 10f. When the rotary cleaning member 10f rotates, the wavy blade 12f can also catch more water, slap and sprinkle the wiping member 302 for cleaning, making the cleaning of the wiping member 302 more thorough; at the same time, when the wavy blade 12f rotates with the rotary cleaning member 10f, it can squeeze air to form an air flow, and converge the air flow through a plurality of pocket grooves 125f, and make the air flow rotate outward from the center of the rotary cleaning member 10f along the wind-catching channels, generating a wind force to take away the water on the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201, improving the drying efficiency of the wiping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0156] The ninth embodiment of the rotary cleaning member.
[0157] In the first to ninth embodiments of the above-mentioned rotary cleaning member, although the structures of the respective embodiments are different, they basically achieve wind-catching by forming pocket grooves on the scraping member of the rotary cleaning member, and then achieve rotary air outlet.
[0158] In this embodiment, the air outlet of the rotary cleaning member 10g can be realized by a blower, and the air outlet channel on the rotary cleaning member 10g can be an air outlet hole.
[0159] As Figure 19 shown, the rotary cleaning member 10g includes a roller 11g and a plurality of spaced blades 12g arranged on the outer surface of the roller 11g and extending along the axial direction of the roller 11g (only one blade is shown in the figure). An air cavity 111g extending along the axial direction of the roller 11g is formed inside the roller 11g, and a plurality of air outlet holes 13g communicating with the air cavity 111g are arranged at positions on the roller 11g between two adjacent blades 12g, that is, the air outlet channels.
[0160] One end of the rotary cleaning member 10g is connected to the air duct 15g through the joint 14g, and the air duct 15g is connected to the blower. The blower is arranged inside the base body of the cleaning base station 100 and blows air into the air cavity 111g of the rotary cleaning member 10g through the air duct 15g. The air flow flows out from each air outlet hole 13g through the air cavity 111g and blows towards the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201 to air-dry the mopping member 302 and the cleaning tank 201.
[0161] The above nine embodiments are only examples of various embodiments of the rotary cleaning member, but the rotary cleaning member is not limited to the specific structures of the above respective embodiments. If there is no conflict, the various features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.
[0162] For example, each scraping blade on the rotary cleaning member can be any one or a combination of several structures in the above embodiments.
[0163] In addition, the scraping blade can also be deformed in some ways. For example, the scraping blade can be bent or curved as a whole to form a pocket groove at the bent or curved position. It can also be bent or curved locally to form a pocket groove at the bent or curved position.
[0164] The scraping blade can be bent into an arc shape, or bent into a V shape, a W shape or other various bent or curved shapes.
[0165] The scraping blade does not necessarily extend along the axial direction of the roller, and can also be spirally wound and distributed from one end to the other end of the roller.
[0166] The scraping member on the rotary cleaning member can be not in the form of a sheet-like scraping blade structure, but also in the form of a regular or irregular block structure, as long as a groove recessed towards or away from the rotation direction of the rotary cleaning member can be formed on the scraping member, it can constitute the above-mentioned pocket groove capable of catching wind and water.
[0167] The above is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Any equivalent structural changes made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present disclosure are included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
