Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning machines, specifically a handheld cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the pursuit of convenience, battery-powered handheld cleaning machines are becoming increasingly widespread. Currently, most handheld cleaning machines on the market use single-plunger pumps, but these machines suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks: 1. The motor pump unit, inlet valve (if any), trigger, and control switch are structurally loosely arranged with low integration. For example, the inlet valve body is not directly connected to the pump body but is connected via another transition piece, or the trigger and control switch are mounted on the housing. This results in a relatively large overall size for the gun-shaped design of the cleaning machine, leading to a poor user experience; 2. The motor pump, inlet valve, trigger, and control switch all rely on the gun-shaped housing as a mounting base, with the housing connecting them into a functional unit. During manufacturing, if defective products require rework by disassembling the housing, this can damage the surface of the housing and other parts, increasing manufacturing costs; 3. The relative dimensions of the motor pump, inlet valve, trigger, and control switch all relying on the gun-shaped housing as a mounting base increase the size chain of mounting holes, adding to the control costs of manufacturing. 4. Use external meshing transmission or planetary gear transmission: External meshing transmission results in a large center distance between the pump and the motor, which leads to high gear noise and a larger overall size; while planetary gear transmission allows the pump and motor to be coaxial, its structure is more complex and its transmission efficiency is lower. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a handheld cleaning machine in which the inlet valve assembly and trigger are mounted on the motor pump unit, making the motor pump unit an independent functional unit with water circuit control.

The large bearing chamber is used to house the large bearing, the drive chamber is used to house the drive bearing, and the plunger hole is used to house the plunger. The small bearing, large bearing, and drive bearing are all arranged around the gear shaft. One end of the gear shaft is connected to the motor bracket, and the other end is connected to the plunger. Under the drive of the motor assembly, the large gear, and the small gear, the plunger performs reciprocating motion.

[0014] Furthermore, the pump body is also provided with an inlet channel, an inlet one-way valve branch, an outlet one-way valve branch, and an outlet channel. The inlet channel is connected to the inlet valve assembly, and one end of the outlet channel is provided with an outlet port, which is connected to the outlet pipe.

Under the reciprocating motion of the plunger, water passes through the inlet one-way valve branch, the outlet one-way valve branch, the outlet channel, and the outlet port in sequence before being sprayed out from the outlet pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, there is a pressure relief hole between the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel. The water inlet channel is equipped with a safety valve core and a spring. When the water pressure inside the water outlet pipe is normal, the push rod of the safety valve core extends out of the pressure relief hole, and the pressure relief hole is blocked. When the water pressure inside the water outlet pipe is abnormal, the push rod of the safety valve core can disengage from the pressure relief hole under water pressure, and water can enter the water inlet channel from the pressure relief hole and be discharged.

[0016] Furthermore, the pump assembly also includes a left pump cover and a right pump cover. The pump body, the left pump cover, and the right pump cover are provided with screw mounting holes at both the upper and lower ends. The pump body, the left pump cover, and the right pump cover are fixed together by the screw mounting holes, screws, and nuts.

[0018] Furthermore, the left and right pump covers are provided with reinforcing ring ribs extending toward the center of the pump body around the screw mounting holes, and the reinforcing ring ribs are used to enhance the installation strength of the screw mounting holes.

[0019] Furthermore, the inlet valve assembly also includes an inlet valve core and a quick connector. The top of the inlet valve body is connected to the inlet channel on the pump body, and a small sealing ring is provided between the top of the inlet valve body and the inlet channel on the pump body to enhance the sealing between the inlet valve body and the pump body. The bottom of the inlet valve body is connected to the quick connector. The inlet valve core is installed inside the inlet valve body, and the inlet valve core can control water to enter the pump body through the inlet valve body under the action of the trigger.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixing arm is located on the side of the water inlet valve body near the motor assembly. The fixing arm has a fixing hole and a support post. The trigger has a mounting hole. The trigger is rotatably mounted on the fixing arm through the cooperation of the mounting hole and the mounting post. The fixing hole can cooperate with the screw mounting holes at the lower ends of the pump body, the left pump cover, and the right pump cover to fix the lower ends of the pump body, the left pump cover, and the right pump cover together with the fixing arm on the water inlet valve body.

[0021] Furthermore, the interior of the water inlet valve body is provided with an interconnected water inlet, water outlet, and valve core push rod outlet. The water inlet valve core is disposed in the water inlet, and the push rod of the water inlet valve core extends out of the valve core push rod outlet and contacts the trigger. Under the control of the trigger, the water inlet channel of the pump body is opened or closed. There is a sealing step and an O-ring chamber between the water inlet and the valve core push rod outlet. The water inlet valve core is provided with a large O-ring and a small O-ring. Both the large O-ring and the small O-ring are located in the O-ring chamber. Under the control of the water inlet valve core and the trigger, the large O-ring contacts or leaves the sealing step, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the water valve.

[0022] Furthermore, a spring and a large sealing ring are provided between the water inlet valve core and the quick connector. The spring is used to reset the water inlet valve core after the trigger pressure is released, and the large sealing ring is used to enhance the sealing between the quick connector and the water inlet valve body. A filter screen is installed inside the quick connector, and the inner diameter of the top end of the quick connector is smaller than the inner diameter of its bottom end.

[0023] Furthermore, the control switch is provided with a contact. When the trigger is pulled upward, the trigger contacts the contact, and the motor pump unit circuit is connected.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a housing, a nozzle assembly, a water inlet pipe assembly, and a battery pack. The motor assembly, pump assembly, trigger, control switch, water inlet valve assembly, and water outlet pipe are all located inside the housing. The battery pack is located at the rear of the housing and is electrically connected to the motor assembly. The water inlet pipe assembly is located at the bottom of the housing and is connected to the water inlet valve assembly. The nozzle assembly is located at the head of the housing and is connected to the end of the pump assembly away from the motor assembly via the water outlet pipe.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] This invention provides a handheld cleaning machine in which the inlet valve assembly and trigger are mounted on the motor pump unit, making the motor pump unit an independent functional unit with water circuit control. In addition, a control switch is mounted on the motor assembly, making the motor pump unit also an independent functional unit with a control circuit. The advantages are: firstly, it facilitates testing during manufacturing without assembling the casing, avoiding the additional costs associated with disassembling the casing in case of quality issues; secondly, this design makes all components more compact, allowing for a smaller casing design, and eliminates the need for dimensional control of the casing and other mounting components, thus reducing dimensional control requirements and manufacturing costs; furthermore, the internal meshing transmission structure further balances the contradictions of the large center distance between the external meshing pump and motor, and the complex and inefficient planetary gear transmission structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated in this description are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-2This invention provides a handheld cleaning machine, comprising a housing 10, a motor assembly 20, a pump assembly 30, a trigger 40, a control switch 50, a water inlet valve assembly 60, a nozzle assembly 70, an inlet pipe assembly 80, a battery pack 90, and an outlet pipe 100. The motor assembly 20, pump assembly 30, trigger 40, control switch 50, water inlet valve assembly 60, and outlet pipe 100 are all located inside the housing 10. The control switch 50 is mounted on the motor assembly 20, the trigger 40 is mounted on the water inlet valve assembly 60, and the water inlet valve assembly 60 is mounted on the bottom of the pump assembly 30. One end of the pump assembly 30 is connected to the motor assembly 20 via internal engagement to form a motor-pump unit. The battery pack 90 is located at the rear of the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the motor-pump unit, providing power to the motor-pump unit. The water inlet pipe assembly 80 is located at the bottom of the housing 10 and is connected to the water inlet valve assembly 60. The water is drawn into the inlet valve assembly 60 by the motor pump unit. The nozzle assembly 70 is located at the head of the housing 10 and connected to the other end of the pump assembly 30 through the outlet pipe 100. The water is transmitted from the inlet valve assembly 60 to the pump assembly 30 and finally to the nozzle assembly 70 for spraying. The present invention installs the inlet valve assembly 60 and the trigger 40 on the motor pump unit, making the motor pump unit an independent functional unit with a water circuit control function. In addition, the control switch 50 is installed on the motor assembly, making the motor pump unit also an independent functional unit with a control circuit.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3-7 The motor assembly 20 includes a motor 21, a pinion 22, and a motor bracket 23. The pinion 22 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 21, and the motor bracket 23 is fixed to the housing end face of the motor 21 near the output end by screws.

[0044] Furthermore, the motor bracket 23 is cylindrical, and its side near the motor 21 is provided with a motor mounting stop 23a, motor mounting screw holes 23b, a positioning pin 23c, and a support column 23d. The motor mounting stop 23a is used for positioning and mounting the motor 21. The motor mounting screw holes 23b are located on both radial sides of the motor mounting stop 23a. The motor bracket 23 is fixed to the outer end face of the output end of the motor 21 by the cooperation of the motor mounting screw holes 23b and screws. The positioning pin 23c and the support column 23d are located at the bottom of the motor bracket 23 and are used for positioning and mounting the control switch 50. The control switch 50 has pin holes of corresponding position and size. The control switch 50 is positioned on the motor bracket 23 by the cooperation of the pin holes and the positioning pin 23c. The control switch 50 is firmly fixed to the motor bracket 23 by the support column 23d abutting against the side of the control switch 50. During testing, the control switch 50 can be guaranteed to function even when not connected to the housing 10. It won't fall off;

[0045] Furthermore, the motor bracket 23, on the side away from the motor 21, is provided with a pump mounting stop 23e, a pinion through hole 23f, a small bearing chamber 23g, a grease baffle 23h, and a pump mounting screw hole 23i. The pump mounting stop 23e is used to position the pump assembly 30 for installation. The pinion through hole 23f is located inside the pump mounting stop 23e and communicates with the motor mounting stop 23a, used to house the pinion 22. The small bearing chamber 23g is also located inside the pump mounting stop 23e, below the pinion through hole 23f, and concentrically positioned with the pump mounting stop 23e, used to house the small bearing 37. The grease baffle 23h surrounds the small bearing chamber 23g to reduce grease splashing and facilitate gear lubrication. The pump mounting screw hole 23i surrounds the outer ring of the motor bracket 23 and engages with screws to fix the motor bracket 23 to the pump assembly 30.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3-4 and Figure 8-10 The pump assembly 30 includes a pump body 31, a left pump cover 32, and a right pump cover 33. The upper and lower ends of the pump body 31, the left pump cover 32, and the right pump cover 33 are provided with screw mounting holes 31a. The pump body 31, the left pump cover 32, and the right pump cover 33 are fixed together by screw mounting holes 31a, screws, and nuts.

[0047] Furthermore, the pump body 31 is provided with an installation part 31b, a large bearing chamber 31c, a drive chamber 31d, a plunger hole 31e, a water inlet channel 31f, a water inlet check valve branch 31g, a water outlet check valve branch 31h, a water outlet channel 31i, a water outlet port 31j, and a baffle 31k.

[0048] Specifically, the mounting part 31b is located on the pump body 31 near the motor bracket 23. Therefore, the mounting part 31b is a hollow cylinder. A large gear 34, which meshes internally with the small gear 22, is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting part 31b. Similarly, the mounting part 31b also has a motor bracket mounting stop 31b1 for positioning and mounting with the motor bracket 23. The outer periphery of the mounting part 31b also has motor bracket mounting screw holes 31b2 with the same position and size as the pump mounting screw holes 23i. After positioning, the motor bracket mounting screw holes 31b2 on the mounting part 31b engage with the pump mounting screw holes 23i on the motor bracket 23 and the screws, fixing the pump body 31 and the motor bracket 23 together. Because the large gear 34 and the small gear 22 mesh internally, the center distance between them and the motor 21 is small, reducing gear noise and resulting in a more compact overall structure. (Refer to rib 31k) Figure 3The rib 31k is protruding from the bottom of the pump body 31 and is set along the length of the pump body 31. The trigger 40 is provided with a groove 41. When the trigger 40 moves up and down, it can be limited by the rib 31k and will not fall off in the front and back direction, which facilitates the testing of the motor pump unit.

[0049] Specifically, the large bearing chamber 31c, the drive bearing chamber 31d, the plunger hole 31e, and the middle part of the mounting part 31b are sequentially connected. The large bearing chamber 31c, the drive chamber 31d, and the plunger hole 31e are sequentially distributed from the mounting part 31b to the other side of the pump body 31. The large bearing chamber 31c and the drive chamber 31d are arranged along the length of the pump body 31, and the plunger hole 31e is arranged along the width of the pump body 31. The large bearing chamber 31c is used to house the large bearing 35, the drive chamber 31d is used to house the drive bearing 36, and the plunger hole 31e is used to house the plunger 39. The small bearing 37, the large bearing 35, and the drive bearing 36 are all arranged around the gear shaft 38. One end of the gear shaft 38 is connected to the motor bracket 23, and the other end is connected to the plunger 39 (see Figure 1). Figure 4 Driven by the motor assembly 20, the large gear 34, and the small gear 22, the plunger 39 reciprocates.

[0050] Specifically, the water inlet channel 31f, the water inlet check valve branch 31g, the water outlet check valve branch 31h, the water outlet channel 31i, and the water outlet port 31j are all interconnected. The water inlet channel 31f is connected to the water inlet valve assembly 60. Under the reciprocating motion of the plunger 39, water is transmitted through the water inlet valve assembly 60 to the water inlet check valve branch 31g and the water outlet check valve branch 31h, and then through the water outlet channel 31i to the water outlet port 31j. The water outlet port 31j is connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 100, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 100 is connected to the nozzle assembly 70. Finally, the water is sprayed out through the nozzle assembly 70.

[0051] Preferably, a pressure relief hole 31l is provided between the water inlet channel 31f and the water outlet channel 31i, and a safety valve core and spring are provided in the water inlet channel 31f (see reference). Figure 4 When the nozzle assembly 70 and the outlet pipe 100 are functioning normally, the push rod of the safety valve core extends out of the pressure relief hole 31l, cutting off the passage of the pressure relief hole 31l. When the nozzle assembly 70 is blocked, the water pressure between the inlet channel 31f and the outlet channel 31i is too high. At this time, the water pressure can cause the push rod of the safety valve core to disengage from the pressure relief hole 31l, and water can enter the inlet channel 31f from the pressure relief hole 31l and flow out from the inlet valve assembly 60. This setting can prevent damage to the cleaning machine.

[0052] Specifically, the left pump cover 32 and the right pump cover 33 have the same structure, each equipped with an inlet check valve hole 32a, an outlet check valve hole 32b, and a water seal mounting cavity 32c. The inlet check valve hole 32a communicates with the inlet check valve branch 31g, the outlet check valve hole 32b communicates with the outlet check valve branch 31h, and the water seal mounting cavity 32c is connected to the plunger hole 31e. A connecting hole 32d is also provided between the inlet check valve hole 32a and the outlet check valve hole 32b, allowing water to flow between the inlet check valve branch 31g and the outlet check valve branch 31h.

[0053] Preferably, please refer to Figure 3 The left pump cover 32 and the right pump cover 33 are also provided with reinforcing ring ribs 32e extending towards the center of the pump body 31 around the screw mounting holes 31a to ensure the installation strength of the screw mounting holes 31a.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1-4 and Figure 11-12 The inlet valve assembly 60 includes an inlet valve body 61, an inlet valve core 62, and a quick connector 63. The top of the inlet valve body 61 is connected to the inlet channel 31f on the pump body 31, which can be achieved through a pin, hook, or other means. A small sealing ring 69 is also provided between the top of the inlet valve body 61 and the inlet channel 31f on the pump body 31 to enhance the sealing between the inlet valve body 61 and the pump body 31. The bottom of the inlet valve body 61 is connected to the quick connector 63, which is connected to the water source through the inlet pipe assembly 80. The inlet valve core 62 is installed inside the inlet valve body 61. Under the action of the trigger 40, the inlet valve core 62 can control whether water enters the pump body 31 through the inlet valve body 61.

[0055] Specifically, a fixing arm 61a is provided on the side of the inlet valve body 61 near the motor assembly 20. The fixing arm 61a has a fixing hole 61a1 and a support column 61a2. The trigger 40 has a mounting hole 42. The trigger 40 is rotatably mounted on the fixing arm 61a through the cooperation of the mounting hole 42 and the support column 61a2, so that the opening and closing of the inlet valve assembly 60 can be controlled by moving the trigger 40, without needing to be assembled with the housing 10, which facilitates testing and assembly. The fixing hole 61a1 can cooperate with the screw mounting holes 31a at the lower end of the pump body 31, the left pump cover 32, and the right pump cover 33 to fix the lower end of the pump body 31, the left pump cover 32, and the right pump cover 33 to the fixing arm 61a of the inlet valve body 61, so that the inlet valve assembly 60 is directly connected to the motor pump unit.

[0056] It should be noted that the trigger 40 can also be rotatably mounted on the pump body 31, that is, the support column 61a2 is set in a suitable position on the pump body 31, and the trigger 40 is also provided with a mounting hole 42. The trigger 40 is rotatably mounted on the pump body 31 through the cooperation of the mounting hole 42 and the support column 61a2.

[0057] Furthermore, the inlet valve body 61 has an inlet 61b, an outlet 61c, and a valve core push rod outlet 61d, with the three outlets interconnected. The inlet valve core 62 is located inside the inlet 61b, and the push rod of the inlet valve core 62 extends out of the valve core push rod outlet 61d and contacts the trigger 40. The inlet valve core 62 is controlled by the trigger 40 to open or close the water inlet channel of the pump body 31. There is a sealing step 61e and an O-ring chamber 61f between the inlet 61b and the valve core push rod outlet 61d. The inlet valve core 62 is provided with a large O-ring 64 and a small O-ring 65. Both the large O-ring 64 and the small O-ring 65 are located in the O-ring chamber 61f. Under the control of the inlet valve core 62 and the trigger 40, the large O-ring 64 contacts or moves away from the sealing step 61e, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the water valve.

[0058] Furthermore, a quick connector 63 is connected to the bottom end of the inlet valve body 61.

The spring 67 is used to reset the inlet valve core 62 after the trigger 40 pressure is released, and the large sealing ring 68 is used to enhance the sealing between the quick connector 63 and the inlet valve body 61. A filter screen 66 is installed inside the quick connector 63. The inner diameter of the top end of the quick connector 63 is small, and the inner diameter of the bottom end of the quick connector 63 is large. Water can pass through the filter screen 66 from the bottom end with the larger inner diameter and then enter the inlet valve body 61 from the top end with the smaller inner diameter, ensuring that the filtration area is large enough.

[0059] Please refer again. Figure 1-2 The bottom of the control switch 50 is provided with a contact 51, which is arranged along the front and back direction of the control switch 50. When the trigger 40 is pulled up, the trigger 40 contacts the contact 51, which can start the motor pump unit and connect the motor pump unit circuit, and also open the passage of the water inlet valve body 61. That is, the water circuit and the circuit can be controlled at the same time by using the trigger 40.

[0060] As described above, the handheld cleaning machine provided by this invention integrates the inlet valve assembly and trigger onto the motor pump unit, making the motor pump unit an independent functional unit with water circuit control. Furthermore, a control switch is installed on the motor assembly, giving the motor pump unit an independent functional unit with a control circuit. The advantages are: firstly, it facilitates testing during manufacturing without assembling the casing, avoiding additional costs associated with disassembling the casing in case of quality issues; secondly, this design makes all components more compact, allowing for a smaller casing design and eliminating the need for dimensional chaining between the casing and various mounting components, thus reducing dimensional control requirements and manufacturing costs; and thirdly, the internal meshing transmission structure further balances the contradictions of the large center distance between the external meshing pump and motor, and the complex and inefficient planetary gear transmission structure.
