DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments are not limiting to the scope of the present application unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0040] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the scope of the application, its application, or uses.

[0041] Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail herein. However, where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and apparatus should be considered as being part of the specification.

[0042] In all of the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments can have different values.

[0043] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items throughout the several views, and as a result, further discussion of such items is not necessary in the subsequent views.

[0044] The cleaning device of the present disclosure can be a floor cleaning robot, a handheld floor cleaning machine, or the like, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and includes a body, a recovery assembly, and a floor brush assembly for cleaning a work surface. The body is used to carry various components in the cleaning device, such as a charging device, a display screen, a power device, etc., and a hand-held portion for a user to hold can also be provided on the body, so as to facilitate the user to hold and control the direction of travel of the cleaning device when cleaning. The recovery assembly is installed in the body and is used to contain dirty liquid, so as to recover the dirty water and the like generated during the cleaning process. The floor brush assembly can be a cleaning roller, a cloth disc, or the like, which is provided at one end of the body close to the work surface and is powered by the power device in the body to clean the work surface.

[0045] In order to facilitate the installation of the recovery assembly on the body, a mounting cavity for mounting the recovery assembly is also provided on the body, and the mounting cavity includes opposite first and second ends. The first and second ends of the mounting cavity can be matched with the opposite ends of the recovery assembly, so that the recovery assembly can be more stably connected in the mounting cavity.

[0046] The cradle is provided at the first end of the body by the elastic device. When the user installs the recovery assembly, the recovery assembly needs to be abutted on the cradle, and then the elastic device is extruded by the cradle, so that the cradle moves towards the first end of the mounting cavity, thereby enabling the recovery assembly to be installed on the body. After installation is completed, the cradle extrudes the recovery assembly towards the second end of the mounting cavity under the action of the elastic device, so that the recovery assembly can be tightly connected to the body.

[0047] The cleaning device of the present disclosure is provided with a cradle at the first end of the mounting cavity by the elastic device, and when the recovery assembly is installed in the mounting cavity, the cradle can extrude the recovery assembly towards the second end of the mounting cavity by the action of the cradle and the elastic device, so that the recovery assembly can be more tightly installed on the body. Even if the connection part between the recovery assembly and the body is worn, aged, or the like, the recovery assembly can be pressed tightly in the mounting cavity by the action of the cradle, so as to ensure the stability and sealing performance of the connection between the recovery assembly and the components of the body.

[0048] For the convenience of understanding, the specific structure and working principle of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figures 1 to 9

[0049] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ​The cleaning device of the present disclosure comprises a body 1, a recovery assembly 2 and a floor brush assembly. The body 1 is used to carry various components in the cleaning device, such as batteries, power devices, display screens and the like, which are well known to those skilled in the art, and the specific structure and function of the cleaning device is not limited by the present disclosure. The recovery assembly 2 is provided on the body 1 and is used to contain liquid, which can recover dirt generated during the cleaning process of the cleaning device. The floor brush assembly (not shown) can be a cleaning roller, a cloth tray and the like, which is provided at one end of the body 1 close to the working surface and is powered by the power device in the body 1 to clean the working surface by rotating itself or the like.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 The body 1 is also provided with a mounting cavity 10 for mounting the recovery assembly 2, which can be provided at the middle part of the body 1 or other positions of the body 1. The mounting cavity 10 comprises a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end of the mounting cavity 10 can be matched with the opposite ends of the recovery assembly 2, so that the recovery assembly 2 can be more stable when mounted in the mounting cavity 10. Referring to the direction of the view, Figure 4 of course, for those skilled in the art, the lower end of the mounting cavity 10 can also be referred to as the second end, and the upper end of the mounting cavity can be referred to as the first end, which will not be described here.

[0051] In Figure 4 the first end of the mounting cavity 10 is provided with a support 12 through an elastic device 11, which can be a compression spring, a spring sheet and the like, which are well known to those skilled in the art and have elasticity, and the present disclosure does not limit the elastic device 11. One end of the elastic device 11 can be connected to the body 1, and the other end can be connected to the support 12.

[0052] When the user installs the recovery assembly 2, first abut one end of the recovery assembly 2 against the support 12, and at the same time, press the support 12 to move towards the first end of the mounting cavity 10, and press the elastic device 11 during the movement, until the recovery assembly 2 is put into the mounting cavity 10. When the external force is removed, the support 12 will press the recovery assembly 2 towards the second end of the mounting cavity 10 under the action of the elastic device 11, thereby completing the installation of the recovery assembly 2. And after installation, the recovery assembly 2 is always pressed by the support 12 and the elastic device 11, thereby making up for the poor sealing problem caused by aging or wear of the connection part, and ensuring the stability and sealing of the installation between the recovery assembly 2 and the body 1.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2A first housing 13 is arranged at the first end of the installation cavity 10, and a first accommodating cavity 131 is enclosed between the first housing 13 and the machine body 1. The first accommodating cavity 131 is in a cylindrical shape, and the support platform 12 and the elastic device 11 are arranged in the first accommodating cavity 131. The side wall of the support platform 12 is in contact with the first housing 13, and the support platform 12 is guided in the first accommodating cavity 131. The first accommodating cavity 131 has a space for the movement of the support platform 12. When the support platform 12 is moved to the first end of the installation cavity 10 by an external force, the first housing 13 provides a guide for the movement of the support platform 12 because the side wall of the support platform 12 is in contact with the first housing 13. Thus, the support platform 12 can move along the extension direction of the first housing 13 during the sliding process, and cannot move in other directions, so that the support platform 12 cannot be offset and stuck in the installation cavity 10 during the sliding process. Of course, the support platform 12 can also be guided in the first accommodating cavity 131 by a guide column and a guide groove, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In order to further improve the stability of the recycling assembly 2 in the first accommodating cavity 131, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 8 After installation, the recycling assembly 2 is configured to extend into the first accommodating cavity 131, so that the side wall of the first accommodating cavity 131 is configured to limit the end of the recycling assembly 2, so as to avoid the offset or displacement of the recycling assembly 2 relative to the machine body 1.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The support platform 12 is further provided with a sewage suction pipe 3 connected thereto. When the support platform 12 moves, the sewage suction pipe 3 can move synchronously with the support platform 12. The sewage suction pipe 3 can be made of plastic material, such as plastic, rubber, etc. Of course, the sewage suction pipe 3 can also be a corrugated pipe, so that the sewage suction pipe 3 is not easy to break when moving synchronously with the support platform 12. The lower end of the first accommodating cavity 131 is provided with a gap for the sewage suction pipe 3 to pass through, and the first accommodating cavity 131 has a space for the displacement of the sewage suction pipe 3.

[0056] One end of the suction pipe 3 at the inlet 33 is used to connect with the floor brush assembly in the cleaning equipment, for example, through a hose. One end of the outlet 32 is used to connect with the recycling assembly 2. The recycling assembly 2 can be connected with the floor brush assembly through the suction pipe 3. The recycling assembly 2 is provided with an inlet 23 close to one end of the support platform 12. The suction pipe 3 is connected with the recycling assembly 2 through the inlet 23. When the cleaning equipment starts to work, the floor brush assembly is driven by the power device in the machine body 1 to clean the working surface. During the cleaning process, the cleaning equipment sprays cleaning liquid, such as water, on the working surface or the roller brush. After the cleaning is completed, the water and the cleaning liquid become dirty, which is then sucked into the recycling assembly 2 for storage.

[0057] In order to make the connection between the suction pipe 3 and the recycling assembly 2 more closely, prevent the gap between the connection of the suction pipe 3 and the recycling assembly 2, and prevent the dirty from flowing out to the support platform 12, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the outlet 32 of the suction pipe 3, that is, the end of the suction pipe 3 used to connect with the recycling assembly 2, is provided with a sealing member 31. The sealing member 31 surrounds the outlet 32 of the suction pipe 3 and protrudes from the end surface of the support platform 12. When the recycling assembly 2 is installed in the installation cavity 10, the inlet 23 is in contact with the sealing member 31, so that the sealing member 31 can seal the inlet 23 and the outlet 32 of the suction pipe 3, preventing the dirty from flowing out through the gap between the suction pipe 3 and the inlet 23 during the process of passing through the suction pipe 3 into the recycling assembly 2.

[0058] In one specific embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the sealing member 31 has a flared structure on the end surface of the support platform 12, that is, the size of the sealing member 31 adjacent to one end of the end surface of the support platform 12 is smaller than the size of the sealing member 31 away from the other end of the end surface of the support platform 12. Such a structure design makes the contact area between the sealing member 31 and the inlet 23 of the recycling assembly 2 larger, seals the connection part of the inlet 23 and the surrounding area of the inlet 23 and the suction pipe 3, and has a better sealing effect. The sealing member 31 can be made of flexible materials, such as plastic, rubber, etc. The present disclosure does not make any limitation on this. When the user installs the recycling assembly 2 on the machine body 1, the end of the recycling assembly 2 provided with the inlet 23 is abutted on the support platform 12. During the abutting process, the area around the inlet 23 is in contact with the sealing member 31. Since the sealing member 31 is made of flexible materials, the sealing member 31 will gradually adhere to the area around the inlet 23 during the extrusion process, thereby realizing the sealed connection between the inlet 23 and the outlet 32 of the suction pipe 3.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5A second housing 15 is arranged at the second end of the body 1, and the second housing 15 and the body 1 enclose a second accommodating cavity 151, which can be used to accommodate the motor assembly 4 and the filter 14. The motor assembly 4 is arranged at the second end of the mounting cavity 10, and the motor assembly 4 can provide negative pressure for the cleaning device to suck the dirt generated in the cleaning process into the recycling assembly 2 for storage. The filter 14 is located between the bucket cover 21 and the motor assembly 4. In the process of external airflow flowing out of the recycling assembly 2 through the through hole 27 to the motor assembly 4, the filter 14 can filter the water vapor and solid impurities in the airflow to prevent them from entering the motor assembly 4 and causing damage to the motor assembly 4.

[0060] The second accommodating cavity 151 is in a cylindrical shape as a whole, and the end of the motor assembly 4 is mounted and fixed in the second accommodating cavity 151. The filter 14 is located in the second accommodating cavity 151 and communicates with the motor assembly 4. Referring to Figure 3 , the position of the recycling assembly 2 for abutting against the filter 14 is provided with a through hole 27, which communicates with the inner cavity of the recycling assembly 2. This allows the motor assembly 4 to form negative pressure in the inner cavity of the recycling assembly 2, so that external dirt can be sucked into the recycling assembly 2 for storage.

[0061] The filter 14 of the present disclosure is arranged on the body 1 to filter the airflow entering the motor assembly 4 from the through hole 27, so as to prevent water vapor and particulate matter from entering the motor assembly 4 and causing damage to the motor assembly 4. Referring to Figure 4 , the filter 14 is arranged at a position below the motor assembly 4. After the recycling assembly 2 is installed, the recycling assembly 2 is connected to the motor assembly 4 through the filter 14. Compared with the conventional structure in which the filter 14 is detachably arranged on the recycling assembly 2, the problem of missing the filter 14 due to user error can be avoided, and the water entering the motor assembly 4 to cause short circuit and affect the service life of the motor assembly 4 can also be avoided.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the recycling assembly 2 is in a cylindrical structure as a whole. When the user installs it, he or she does not need to identify the installation angle of the recycling assembly 2. As long as the corresponding end of the recycling assembly 2 abuts against the supporting table 12 and the elastic device 11 is squeezed to move, the other end of the recycling assembly 2 can be connected to the second end of the mounting cavity 10. Thereafter, under the restoring force of the elastic device 11, the recycling assembly 2 moves towards the second end of the mounting cavity 10, thereby completing the installation of the recycling assembly 2. The dirt inlet 23 at the lower end of the recycling assembly 2 is in sealed connection with the outlet 32 of the dirt suction pipeline 3 on the supporting table 12, and the through hole 27 at the upper end of the recycling assembly 2 communicates with the filter.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1and Figure 7 The recycling assembly 2 comprises a recycling bucket 22 and a bucket cover 21, the recycling bucket 22 has an open end at one end, and the bucket cover 21 is used to seal the open end of the recycling bucket 22. A dirty inlet 23 is arranged at the bottom of the recycling bucket 22, so that the recycling bucket 22 is in communication with the dirty suction pipe 3 through the dirty inlet 23.

[0064] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bucket cover 21 is used to seal the open end of the recycling bucket 22, and a through hole 27 is arranged on the end face of the bucket cover 21, so that when the recycling assembly 2 is installed in place, the end face of the bucket cover 21 is in abutment with the filter 14, and the through hole 27 is in communication with the filter 14. Another advantage of this structure is that when the user finishes cleaning and removes the recycling assembly 2 from the machine body 1, the liquid in the recycling bucket 22 can be poured out through the through hole 27 on the bucket cover 21 first, and then the solid impurities in the recycling bucket 22 can be cleaned by opening the bucket cover 21, so that the recycling bucket 22 can be completely cleaned without residual impurities. In addition, after the user flushes the recycling bucket 22, the bucket cover 21, and installs the recycling assembly 2 on the machine body 1, the water on the bucket cover 21 can fall into the recycling bucket 22 through the through hole 27.

[0065] Referring to Figure 2 The dirty inlet pipe 26 is further arranged in the recycling bucket 22, the dirty inlet pipe 26 forms the above-mentioned dirty inlet 23 at the side of the recycling bucket 22 away from the open end, that is, the dirty inlet 23 is part of the dirty inlet pipe 26, and the other end of the dirty inlet pipe 26 extends along the axial direction of the recycling bucket 22 to a position adjacent to the open end of the recycling bucket 22. The motor assembly 4 forms a negative pressure in the recycling bucket 22, and the external dirt enters the dirty inlet pipe 26 through the dirty suction pipe 3 and falls into the recycling bucket 22 through the liquid outlet of the dirty inlet pipe 26 for storage; the airflow continues to rise and flows out through the bucket cover 21.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In order to prevent the dirt from entering the motor assembly 4 through the through hole 27 under the action of the negative pressure, a water blocking mechanism 25 is arranged at the end of the bucket cover 21 facing the dirty inlet pipe 26, the position of the water blocking mechanism 25 corresponds to the position of the dirty inlet pipe 26, and the water blocking mechanism 25 is arranged above the dirty inlet pipe 26. The water blocking mechanism 25 can be made of plastic, rubber or the like, and the shape of the water blocking mechanism 25 can be rectangular, cylindrical or the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure. When the dirt flows to the liquid outlet position of the dirty inlet pipe 26, the dirt will be blocked by the water blocking mechanism 25, so that the dirt will not continue to move towards the bucket cover 21, but will contact the water blocking mechanism 25 and fall to the bottom of the recycling bucket 22 under the action of its own gravity, thereby avoiding the dirt flowing out of the recycling assembly 2 through the through hole 27 on the bucket cover 21.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the water blocking mechanism 25 is in the shape of a truncated cone, and a water blocking cavity 251 is formed therein. The diameter of the water blocking mechanism 25 towards one end of the dirt inlet pipe 26 is larger than the size of the water blocking mechanism 25 at the position where the water blocking mechanism 25 is connected to the lid 21. The liquid outlet of the dirt inlet pipe 26 extends into the water blocking cavity 251. When dirt flows through the dirt inlet pipe 26 towards the water blocking mechanism 25, the dirt will flow into the water blocking cavity 251 and contact the water blocking cavity 251, and then be blocked by the water blocking cavity 251, so that the dirt flows down along the inner wall of the water blocking mechanism 25.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 7 , the lid 21 comprises a lid shell 211 having a hollow inner cavity. Through holes 27 are provided at opposite ends of the lid shell 211, so that the inner cavity of the recycling bucket 22 can be in communication with the motor assembly 4 through the through holes 27 at the opposite ends of the lid shell 211. The number and arrangement of the through holes 27 can be designed as required, for example, a plurality of through holes 27 can be densely arranged at the opposite ends of the lid shell 211. The through holes 27 can also have a filtering effect to prevent water vapor from entering the motor assembly 4 through the through holes 27.

[0069] A sealing ring 28 is further provided on the outer wall of the lid shell 211. When the lid 21 is assembled with the recycling bucket 22, the sealing ring 28 can seal the inner wall of the recycling bucket 22 and the lid shell 211. This allows the external airflow to flow out of the lid 21 only through the through holes 27, preventing the external airflow from flowing out to the outside through the gap formed between the lid shell 211 and the recycling bucket 22.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , one end of the lid shell 211 extending into the recycling bucket 22 is recessed inwardly, and the recessed portion forms a flow guide portion 212 on the inner wall of the lid shell 211. When some water vapor flows into the inner cavity of the lid shell 211 along with the external airflow and remains in the inner cavity of the lid shell 211, the water vapor will condense into liquid impurities. The liquid remaining in the inner cavity of the lid shell 211 can slide down along the inner wall of the lid shell 211, pass through the flow guide portion 212, and finally flow into the recycling bucket 22 through the through hole 27 at one end of the lid shell 211 towards the recycling bucket 22. The flow guide portion 212 can prevent liquid impurities from remaining in the lid shell 211, so that the liquid in the inner cavity of the lid shell 211 can flow into the recycling bucket 22 along the flow guide portion 212.

[0071] In addition, when the user disassembles the recycling assembly 2 and pours out the dirt inside, the through holes 27 can play a filtering role to prevent solid particles, hair and other foreign matter from being poured out. After the liquid is completely poured out, the user can disassemble the barrel cover shell 211 for flushing, and after the recycling assembly 2 is installed on the machine body 1 after being flushed, the residual liquid can fall into the recycling barrel 22 along the inner wall of the barrel cover shell 211 and the flow guide part 212.

[0072] In addition, the inward recess of the barrel cover shell 211 also provides space 281 for the deformation of the sealing ring 28. Referring to Figure 2 , the sealing ring 28 is arranged on the outer wall of the barrel cover shell 211 adjacent to the recess. When the barrel cover shell 211 is installed in the recycling barrel 22, the sealing ring 28 is extruded and deformed greatly at the recessed position of the outer wall of the barrel cover shell 211, thereby improving the sealing effect between the barrel cover shell 211 and the recycling barrel 22.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 9 , in order to ensure the stability of the recycling assembly 2 at the second end of the installation cavity 10, a flange 24 is arranged on the end face of the barrel cover 21, and the flange 24 and the edge of the end face of the barrel cover 21 form a clamping groove 152. When the recycling assembly 2 is installed in the installation cavity 10, the edge of the second shell 15 towards the barrel cover 21 is clamped into the clamping groove 152, limiting the movement of the recycling assembly 2 in the installation cavity 10, and ensuring the stability of the recycling assembly 2 in the installation cavity 10.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the filter 14 protrudes from the end face of the motor assembly 4 and is configured to extend into the hollow cavity 153 surrounded by the flange 24. The filter 14 and the motor assembly 4 are both located in the second containing cavity 151, and the filter 14 is installed at the lower end of the motor assembly 4. The frame of the filter 14 protrudes from the end face of the motor assembly 4, which makes the filter 14 extend into the hollow cavity 153 of the flange 24 when the recycling assembly 2 is installed, so as to limit the displacement of the recycling assembly 2 in the radial direction.

[0075] Application scenario 1

[0076] When the user installs the recovery assembly 2, he holds the recovery assembly 2 and inclines one end with the sewage inlet 23 to abut against the support 12, and at the same time, presses the support 12 and the elastic device 11 towards the first end of the installation cavity 10, so that the support 12 and the sewage suction pipeline 3 move synchronously until the recovery assembly 2 can be pushed into the installation cavity 10. Then, the support 12 drives the recovery assembly 2 to move towards the second end of the installation cavity 10 under the action of the elastic device 11, so that the two opposite ends of the recovery assembly 2 are respectively sealed with the first end and the second end of the installation cavity 10. The sewage inlet 23 of the recovery assembly 2 is sealed with the outlet 32 of the sewage suction pipeline 3 at the position of the support 12, and the through hole 27 at the other end of the recovery assembly 2 is sealed with the filter 14. Under the action of the elastic device 11, the recovery assembly 2 can be always pre-pressed between the first end and the second end of the installation cavity 10, so that the problem of poor sealing due to aging and wear of components can be avoided.

[0077] When the user needs to disassemble the recovery assembly 2, he holds the recovery assembly 2 and moves it towards the first end of the installation cavity 10, so that the support 12 presses the elastic device 11, and the support 12 and the sewage suction pipeline 3 move synchronously. When moving to a predetermined displacement, the other end of the recovery assembly 2 is separated from the second end of the installation cavity 10, at which time the recovery assembly 2 can be taken out. The user can pour out the sewage in the recovery assembly 2, and the sewage flows out along the through hole 27 of the recovery assembly 2, while the solid particles or foreign matters such as hair are blocked by the through hole 27. After the sewage is poured out, the user can disassemble the bucket cover 21 and flush the recovery bucket 22 and the bucket cover 21 with clean water. After the flushing is completed, the assembled recovery bucket 22 and the bucket cover 21 are reinstalled into the installation cavity 10 of the machine body 1 according to the above method, and the water remaining on the bucket cover 21 flows downward along the inner wall of the bucket cover shell 211 under the action of gravity and falls into the recovery bucket 22 again through the through hole 27.

[0078] Since the filter 14 is installed on the machine body 1 instead of being detachably arranged on the recovery assembly 2, the problem of missing the filter 14 when disassembling the recovery assembly 2 can be avoided, and the service life of the motor assembly 4 can be ensured from the problem of water inlet short circuit caused by missing the filter 14.

[0079] Application scenario 2

[0080] When the user starts to use the cleaning device to clean the working surface, the floor brush assembly starts to work under the action of the power device in the machine body 1 to clean the working surface.

[0081] Meanwhile, the motor assembly 4 generates negative pressure in the recovery assembly 2, and the dirt enters the dirt suction pipeline 3 under the action of the negative pressure, and then enters the dirt inlet pipeline 26 through the dirt inlet 23 on the recovery barrel 22. The dirt flowing out of the dirt inlet pipeline 26 from the dirt inlet pipeline 26 outlet will be blocked by the water blocking mechanism 25, so that the water in the dirt falls into the bottom of the recovery barrel 22 for storage. The airflow will continue to flow in the direction of the barrel cover 21, and when passing through the barrel cover 21, the water vapor and part of the particulate matter in the airflow will be blocked by the filter 14, so as to avoid the water vapor and particulate matter from entering the inside of the motor assembly 4.

[0082] The above has described the embodiments of the present application, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical application, or technical improvement in the market, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
