[0048] Currently, the sweeping function is the main function of many floor-sweeping robots on the market, and there needs to be a structure or device for accommodating the dirt cleaned by the floor-sweeping machine. Therefore, at present, most floor-sweeping robots use a dust box as the accommodating device, and the installation devices of the dust boxes are different in some aspects.

[0049] The dust box in the prior art is provided with a baffle that can be opened and closed. Its main function is to block the dust concentrated in the dust box inside the dust box to prevent the collected dust from falling back into the external environment that has been cleaned. The main working principle of the baffle is as follows: when the fan set on the dust box starts, the wind sucks up the baffle, so that the dust can enter. After the fan is turned off, due to the absence of the influence of wind force, the baffle freely falls, blocking the outward movement of the dust.

[0050] The baffle of the existing old-style dust box can only be lifted inwards, but cannot be opened outwards, mainly because the existing old-style dust box uses manual cleaning to clean the garbage. Due to the development of technology, sweeping robots are now beginning to use base stations to clean the dust in the dust box. Its main working principle is that the high-suction fan in the base station is used to take the dust out of the dust box, but because the old-style dust box can only be ventilated in one direction, and the baffle in the dust box can only be flipped inward, the dust cannot be transported outward. Therefore, most of the dust boxes of sweepers on the market that use base stations to clean dust will have two outlets in order to achieve outward wind. One suction port is the opening that acts when cleaning the ground, and it is equipped with a baffle that opens when sucking in dust. The other outlet is the outlet when the base station cleans the dust box, and it is equipped with a baffle that opens outwards.

[0051] However, since the two openings will greatly reduce the effective volume of the dust box, the structural design will be more complicated and will have a certain impact on the appearance of the machine. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a new dust box structure.

[0052] Therefore, the present invention provides a dust box, a floor cleaning device and a system, aiming to solve the technical problem that the dust box of the sweeping robot in the prior art cannot realize the collection and discharge of dirt through one opening. The technical solution of the present invention is to set a dust box body with a accommodating chamber, and set an opening connected to the accommodating chamber on the dust box body, set a first baffle on the opening, and let the first baffle move between the first open position of the opening and the first closed position of the opening, so that the dust box body has the function of collecting dirt, and at the same time, a through hole is set on the first baffle to connect the accommodating chamber with the outside, and at the same time, a second baffle is set on the side wall of the first baffle away from the accommodating chamber, and let the second baffle move between the second open position of the through hole and the second closed position of the through hole to achieve the closing or opening and closing function of the through hole, so that the present application finally realizes the function of discharging the dirt in the accommodating chamber. Through the above-mentioned setting method, the present invention realizes the purpose of collecting dirt into the accommodating chamber of the dust box body and discharging the collected dirt at the same time by opening only one opening on the dust box body.

[0053] The inventive concept of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with some specific implementation methods.

[0054] The present invention provides a dust box, a floor cleaning device and a system. The floor cleaning device of the present invention comprises a cleaning robot and a base station for charging and dust removal for the robot. The cleaning robot comprises a sweeper, a sweeper-mop machine, a floor scrubber and other robots with dust collection functions for cleaning the surface of an object.

[0055] The invention provides a dust box, a floor cleaning device and a system.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 3, some embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

[0057] In the first embodiment of the present invention, a dust box includes: a dust box body 100, which has a receiving chamber 600 inside, and an opening 101 for dust debris to enter and communicating with the receiving chamber 600 is provided on one side wall of the dust box body 100; a baffle assembly, the baffle assembly includes a first baffle 200 and a second baffle 300, the first baffle 200 is located inside the receiving chamber 600 and is rotatably installed on the dust box body 100, and a through hole 201 for dust debris to be discharged is provided on the first baffle 200, the second baffle 300 is rotatably installed on the first baffle 200; the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 are linked and can reciprocally rotate between a first open position A and a first closed position B in the receiving chamber 600 relative to the dust box body 100 in a direction away from or close to the side wall, so as to correspondingly open or close the opening 101; when the first baffle 200 is in the first closed position B, the through hole 201 is arranged corresponding to the opening 101, and the second baffle 300 can reciprocally rotate between a second open position D and a second closed position C in a direction away from or close to the side wall outside the receiving chamber 600 relative to the first baffle 200, so as to correspondingly open or close the through hole 201.

[0058] It should be specifically clarified and explained that in this embodiment, the exemplary dust box body 100 is an important component of the floor cleaning device. When using a sweeping robot to clean indoor dirt, it is necessary to discharge the dirt collected in the dust box. From this, it can be seen that for a sweeping robot, the most important thing is the collection and discharge of dirt, and the purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical defect that the existing dust box cannot simultaneously realize the collection and discharge of dirt through one opening 101.

[0059] It can be further explained that both the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 exemplified in this embodiment can be made of materials with relatively light weight (such as carbon fiber board, pe board, PVC board, etc.). During the manufacturing process, the plate surfaces of the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 can be set to be smooth surfaces to ensure that dirt will not adhere to the plate surfaces of the first baffle 200 or the second baffle 300. At the same time, the dust box body 100 can also be made of materials with relatively light weight (such as carbon fiber board, pe board, PVC board, etc.). At the same time, during the manufacturing process, the inner wall of the dust box body 100 can be set to be smooth, and the connection between two adjacent plate surfaces of the receiving chamber 600 formed by internal enclosure can be set to a smooth chamfer structure.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing a dust box body 100 having a receiving chamber 600, and providing an opening 101 on the dust box body 100 that communicates with the receiving chamber 600, and providing a first baffle 200 on the opening 101, allowing the first baffle 200 to move between a first open position A and a first closed position B of the opening 101, the dust box body 100 is enabled to collect dirt. At the same time, a through hole 201 that communicates the receiving chamber 600 with the outside is provided on the first baffle 200. At the same time, a second baffle 300 is provided on the side wall of the first baffle 200 facing away from the receiving chamber 600, allowing the second baffle 300 to move between a second open position D and a second closed position C of the through hole 201 to achieve the function of closing or opening the through hole 201, and finally enabling the present application to achieve the function of discharging the dirt in the receiving chamber 600. Through the foregoing setting method, the present invention realizes the purpose of collecting dirt into the receiving chamber 600 of the dust box body 100 and discharging the collected dirt by opening only one opening on the dust box body 100.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, one end of the first baffle 200 is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the dust box body 100, and the first baffle 200 can rotate between a first open position A for opening the opening 101 and a first closed position B for covering the opening 101;

[0062] In this embodiment, by rotatably connecting one end of the first baffle 200 to the dust box body 100, the first baffle 200 can move back and forth between opening and covering the opening 101, thereby ensuring that the present invention can achieve the function of collecting dirt.

[0063] One side of the second baffle 300 is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the plate surface of the first baffle 200 on the side facing away from the receiving chamber 600, and the second baffle 300 can rotate between a second open position D for opening the through hole 201 and a second closed position C for covering the through hole 201.

[0064] In this embodiment, by rotatably connecting one end of the second baffle 300 to the first baffle 200, the first baffle 200 can move back and forth between opening and covering the through hole 201, thereby ensuring that the present invention can achieve the function of discharging dirt.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, when the first baffle 200 is in the first closed position B, the end of the first baffle 200 away from the rotating shaft abuts against the inner wall of the receiving chamber 600 so that the first baffle 200 completely covers the opening 101.

[0066] In this embodiment, by making the first baffle 200 in the first closed position B when not in the working state, it can effectively ensure that the dirt collected in the accommodating chamber 600 of the dust box body 100 will not flow out, effectively improving the user experience of the present invention.

[0067] It should be specifically and clearly stated that, in this embodiment, in the working state, the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 provided on the first baffle 200 will be opened under the adsorption effect of the wind force, and after the dust collection is completed, the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 will fall back together under the combined action of gravity. Through this process, when the present invention is in the non-working state or the dust discharging state, the first baffle 200 will always cover the opening 101 to play a protective function.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , when the second baffle 300 is in the second closed position C, the end of the second baffle 300 far from the rotation axis overlaps with the outer side surface of the first baffle 200, so that the second baffle 300 completely covers the through hole 201.

[0069] When the second baffle 300 is in the second closed position C, the end of the second baffle 300 far from the rotation axis overlaps with the outer side surface of the first baffle 200, so that the second baffle 300 completely covers the through hole 201. When the present invention is in the non-working state, the second baffle 300 can overlap and cover the through hole, effectively improving the user experience of the present invention.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , further including an elastic member 400, the elastic member 400 is arranged between the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300, and the elastic member 400 always drives the second baffle 300 to move from the second open position D to the second closed position C.

[0071] It should be specifically and clearly stated that, in this embodiment, the exemplary elastic member 400 is a torsion spring, which is arranged at the rotation shaft of the second baffle 300.

[0072] Such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, by providing an elastic member 400 between the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300, and by the elastic member 400 constantly driving the second baffle 300 to move from the second open position D to the second closed position C, when the present invention is in a non-operating state or a dust suction state, it can be driven by the elastic member 400 to achieve the purpose that when the second baffle 300 moves to the second closed position C, it automatically returns to the second open position D. At the same time, by only providing the elastic member 400 on the second baffle 300, and the first baffle 200 returns to the first closed position B by its own gravity, when the present invention is in use, it can avoid the wind force loss caused by part of the wind force provided by the external air source in the dust suction state needing to overcome the acting force other than its own gravity on the first baffle. That is, by only providing the elastic member 400 on the second baffle 300, the present invention can avoid wind force loss, effectively improve the cleaning efficiency, and has a better cleaning effect.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , when the first baffle 200 is in the first closed position B and the second baffle 300 is in the second open position D, the through hole 201 is completely exposed to the opening 101.

[0074] By arranging the through hole 201 to face the opening 101, when the present invention is in use, it can collect and discharge dirt only through one opening 101, effectively improving the aesthetics of the overall dust box structure appearance, and at the same time achieving the purpose of collecting dirt into the accommodating chamber 600 of the dust box body 100 and discharging the collected dirt through only one opening on the dust box body 100.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , optionally, the dust box body 100 includes a mating side wall 104, and the mating side wall 104 is provided with an opening 101; wherein, the mating side wall 104 is inclined towards the bottom of the dust box body 100.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, by providing an inclined mating side wall 104 on the dust box body 100, when the present application is in use, it can better collect and discharge dirt. At the same time, in this embodiment, the mating side wall 104 is inclined, so that when the present invention is in use, there is a certain height between the opening and the bottom of the dust box body, avoiding the hidden danger of being blocked by dirt due to the opening being set too low, and improving the use effect of the present invention.

[0077] In this embodiment, it should be specifically and clearly stated that the inclined setting of the side wall is such that the side where the opening is located is inclined towards the side opposite to this side, that is, it is inclined from the side where the opening is located towards the bottom of the dust box body. Through this inclined setting method, a certain height can be formed between the opening and the bottom of the dust box body during the implementation of the present invention. The reason is that when the dust inlet is at a certain height, the wind suction loss of the robot is relatively small. Only when the height of the accumulated dust exceeds the opening will there be a certain degree of blockage of the opening, resulting in wind loss.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a wind guiding channel 700 is further formed on the dust box body 100 to form a channel for air flow to enter and exit. The wind guiding channel 700 is communicated with an external wind source 1000, and the wind generated by the external wind source 1000 often drives the first baffle 200 to rotate from the first closed position B to the first open position A.

[0079] In this embodiment, by setting the wind guiding channel 700, it can be effectively ensured that during the implementation of the present invention, under the suction of the wind provided by the external wind source 1000, it moves from the first closed position to the first open position, and thus the present invention has an automated function during the implementation process.

[0080] Generally, the external wind source 1000 is a blower provided inside the cleaning robot. When the dust box is installed inside the cleaning robot, a filter net and HEPA (which is a prior art and not shown in the figure) are provided between the wind guiding channel 700 and the blower to filter dust debris, so as to keep the dust debris in the dust box and ensure that the blower is not contaminated.

[0081] Based on the above-mentioned another embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention is proposed. Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 , the present invention provides a floor cleaning device 800, including the dust box exemplified in the previous embodiment, a cleaning mechanism, and the dust box is installed on the cleaning mechanism; and, a guiding member 900, the guiding member 900 is fixedly connected to the dust box body 100, a wind channel is formed through the guiding member 900, and the wind channel is communicated with the opening 101; wherein, the second baffle 300 can rotate in the wind channel to open or cover the through hole 201.

[0082] In this embodiment, by arranging the dust box on the device body, the present invention can process the dirt collected in the dust box during use, realizing the function of automatically collecting the dirt into the dust box, and improving the automation effect of the present invention.

[0083] As another improved embodiment, it is necessary to specifically and clearly state that, in this embodiment, the device body of the example can be an existing device on sale. During the manufacturing process, only the dust box structure of the example of the present invention can be manufactured, and the dust box structure of the example can be replaced with the dust box of the existing sweeping robot. Of course, in the actual application process, the entire sweeping robot and the dust box of the example of the present invention can also be manufactured as a whole machine.

[0084] In this embodiment, the guide member 900 is arranged at the opening 101, so that when the present invention is in use, the dirt can pass through the guide member 900 more regularly into the containing chamber 600, avoiding the hidden danger of dirt being spread everywhere when the floor cleaning device 800 collects dirt.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, an external wind source 1000 is also included. The external wind source 1000 is arranged in the cleaning mechanism, and the air inlet of the external wind source 1000 is connected to the air guide channel 700.

[0086] By setting an air guide channel 700 on the dust box body 100 and connecting the air guide channel 700 with the external wind source 1000, the present invention can use the wind force supplied by the external wind source 1000 to prompt the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 arranged on the first baffle 200 to move from the first open position A to the first closed position B when in use, thereby effectively ensuring the automation function of the present invention.

[0087] It should be particularly clarified and explained that in this embodiment, the external wind source exemplified is an existing conventional device, and the present invention only applies it, and does not involve the improvement or design of its descendant structure, which will not be described one by one here. However, it can be illustrated that the external wind source described in the present invention is a device or apparatus that can supply an adsorption fan to the dust box body. It can be further illustrated that the external wind source described in the present invention includes but is not limited to the following types: exhaust fan, etc.

[0088] Based on the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention is proposed. Figure 8 , Figure 9The present invention proposes a floor cleaning system, comprising the floor cleaning device 800 illustrated in the foregoing embodiment; a base station 1100, on which a sewage discharge channel is formed, and the floor cleaning device 800 can move between a connected position connected to the sewage discharge channel and a disconnected position disconnected from the sewage discharge channel; and an exhaust fan, which is installed in the base station 1100 and whose air inlet end is connected to the sewage discharge channel, wherein, in the connected position, the exhaust fan drives the second baffle 300 to move toward the second open position D of the open through hole 201, and enables the exhaust fan to extract the dirt collected in the accommodating chamber 600.

[0089] Specifically, the bottom shell of the floor cleaning device 800 is provided with a dust suction port. When the dust box is installed in the cleaning device, the opening 101 of the dust box is connected to or blocked by the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300. When the floor cleaning device 800 is in the dust suction state, the first baffle 200 is located at the first open position A, the opening of the dust box is connected to the dust suction port, and dust or dirt enters the dust box accommodating chamber 600 from the dust suction port; when the floor cleaning device 800 enters the base station and is in the dust discharge state, the second baffle 300 is located at the second open position D, the through hole of the dust box is connected to the dust suction port and the sewage discharge channel of the base station 1100, and dust or dirt enters the base station from the accommodating chamber 600 through the through hole 201, the dust suction port, and the sewage discharge channel in sequence.

[0090] In this embodiment, by setting up a base station 1100, the present invention is capable of automatically processing the dirt collected in the dust box of a sweeping robot equipped with the dust box of the example of the present invention.

[0092] like Figures 1 - 9As shown in the figure, the working process of the present invention is as follows: First, start the floor cleaning device 800 and move it to the area to be cleaned. Turn on the external air source 1000. The air flow sequentially enters the accommodation chamber 600 from the dust suction port on the bottom shell of the floor cleaning device 800 and the opening 101 of the dust box, and then flows through the air guiding channel 700 to the external air source 1000 until it is discharged outside the housing of the floor cleaning device 800. A negative pressure is formed in the accommodation chamber 600, and the overall structure formed by the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 attached to the side wall of the accommodation chamber 600 is sucked open, so that the overall structure formed by the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 moves from the first closed position B to the first open position A, exposing the opening 101. At this time, the dirt is sucked into the accommodation chamber 600 through the dust suction port and the groove provided on the guide member 900 to realize the collection of the dirt. After the dirt collection is completed, the external air source 1000 is turned off. The overall structure formed by the first baffle 200 and the second baffle 300 moves freely between the first open position A and the first closed position B and finally stops at the first closed position B. When it is necessary to discharge the dirt from the accommodation chamber 600, the floor cleaning device 800 moves onto the base station 1100, and the exhaust fan provided in the base station 1100 is turned on. The exhaust fan generates suction and causes the second baffle 300 to move from the second closed position C to the second open position D, exposing the through hole 201. At this time, the dirt is sucked out of the accommodation chamber 600 through the through hole 201 that coincides with the opening 101, and finally the discharge of the dirt is completed. The exhaust fan provided in the base station 1100 is turned off, so that the second baffle 300 moves from the second open position D to the second closed position C under the elastic force of the elastic member 400, and finally the discharge of the dirt is completed.

[0093] The present invention realizes the function of collecting dirt in the dust box body 100 by providing a dust box body 100 having an accommodation chamber 600, providing an opening 101 communicating with the accommodation chamber 600 on the dust box body 100, and providing a first baffle 200 on the opening 101 to allow the first baffle 200 to move between the first open position A of the opening 101 and the first closed position B of the opening 101. At the same time, a through hole 201 communicating the accommodation chamber 600 with the outside is provided on the first baffle 200, and a second baffle 300 is provided on the side wall of the first baffle 200 facing away from the accommodation chamber 600 to allow the second baffle 300 to move between the second open position D of the through hole 201 and the second closed position C of the through hole 201 to achieve the function of closing or opening the through hole 201, and finally the present application realizes the function of discharging the dirt in the accommodation chamber 600. Through the foregoing setting method, the present invention realizes the purpose of collecting the dirt into the accommodation chamber 600 of the dust box body 100 and discharging the collected dirt while only opening one opening on the dust box body 100.
