Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cleaning equipment is typically equipped with a mop to clean the floor. Existing cleaning equipment requires manual removal or lifting of the mop when cleaning carpets, which can easily wet the carpet. Manual removal of the mop reduces user experience, while lifting increases the size of the cleaning equipment, hindering its miniaturization. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application addresses the problem that existing cleaning equipment requires manual disassembly of the mop when cleaning carpets, resulting in a poor user experience, or requires the configuration of a lifting structure, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the cleaning equipment. A mop, a mop assembly and a cleaning equipment are proposed. The mop, the mop assembly and the cleaning equipment have the technical effect of not requiring manual disassembly of the mop when cleaning carpets, which can improve the user experience, and not requiring the configuration of a lifting structure in the cleaning equipment, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the cleaning equipment.

[0004] A mop, comprising:

[0005] The base belt is enclosed along a set enclosing direction to form an installation space;

[0006] a plurality of blades arranged on the base belt at intervals along the surrounding direction and located outside the installation space, wherein a wiping portion is provided on a surface of each blade located on the same side in the surrounding direction;

[0007] Wherein, each of the blades is constructed to be able to flip around its first end connected to the base band towards or away from the surrounding direction under the action of external force.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mop further includes a connecting structure, and any of the blades is connected to at least one adjacent blade via the connecting structure;

[0009] Wherein, each of the blades is constructed so as to be able to rotate relative to the connecting structure when the first end thereof is turned over.

[0011] In one embodiment, each of the blades has a second end facing away from the base belt, and the connecting structure connects the second ends of two adjacent blades and is capable of contacting the surface to be cleaned.

[0012] In one embodiment, the end of the connecting structure connected to the second end is a connecting end, and at least one of the connected connecting end and the second end, and / or the first end is configured as a thinned end;

[0013] The thickness of the thinned end is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the thickness of the blade.

[0014] In one embodiment, each of the blades is extended in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the encircling direction is located.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting structure is arranged on at least one side of each blade in its extension direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the connecting structure, the blades and the base belt are an integrally formed flexible component.

[0017] In one embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the base band, the length of each of the blades is a first dimension;

[0018] In the surrounding direction, the spacing distance between adjacent blades is not less than the first size.

[0019] In one embodiment, the base belt is configured to be controllably rotatable in a forward or reverse direction along the circumferential direction;

[0020] When the mop is in a state of performing a cleaning operation, each of the blades in contact with the surface to be cleaned can flip around its first end toward the rotation direction of the base belt.

[0021] In one embodiment, the trajectory formed when the base belt rotates along the surrounding direction is a rotation trajectory;

[0024] A mop assembly, comprising:

[0025] A mop as described in any of the above; and

[0026] The mounting seat is sleeved in the mounting space, and the mounting seat is configured to drive the base belt to rotate along the surrounding direction when rotating under external drive.

[0027] In one embodiment, the mounting base includes a main body and at least two rotating shafts, wherein the at least two rotating shafts are parallel to and rotatably disposed on the main body;

[0028] When all the rotating shaft parts rotate under external drive, the base belt is driven to rotate along the surrounding direction.

[0030] During actual operation, the mop, mop assembly, and cleaning device described above have a base belt mounted on the mounting base through the formed mounting space. When cleaning a surface, the mounting base drives the base belt to rotate in the forward direction of its arrangement. The second surface of the blade, provided with the wiping portion, faces the surface to be cleaned, and the wiping portion on the second surface cleans the surface. When cleaning a carpet, the mounting base drives the base belt to rotate in the reverse direction of its arrangement. The first surface of the blade, located opposite the second surface in the arrangement direction, faces the surface to be cleaned, preventing the carpet from getting wet. Furthermore, the first surface exerts minimal friction on the surface to be cleaned. This movement of the base belt helps the cleaning device equipped with the mop to move more smoothly and with less effort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a mop 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the mop 100 and the mounting base 200 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 Shown is a structural schematic diagram of a mop assembly 1000 formed by assembling a mop 100 and a mounting base 200 in some embodiments of the present application.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 The mop 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a base belt 110 and a plurality of blades 120. The base belt 110 can be enclosed along a set enclosing direction R to form an installation space K. All blades 120 are arranged on the base belt 110 at intervals along the enclosing direction and are located outside the installation space K. A wiping portion 121 is provided on one surface of each blade 120 located on the same side of the enclosing direction R. Each blade 120 is configured to be able to flip toward or away from the enclosing direction around its first end D1 connected to the base belt 110 under the action of an external force.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the encircling direction R corresponds to the encircling path of the baseband 110. When the encircling direction R is a circular direction, the encircling path of the baseband 110 is circular. When the encircling direction R is an elliptical direction, the encircling path of the baseband 110 is elliptical. When the encircling direction R is a polygon, the encircling path of the baseband 110 is polygonal. The shape of the encircling direction R can be a regular shape (such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon) or an irregular shape. The specific shape of the encircling direction R is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] The base belt 110 is a belt-like structure that can be arranged along a predetermined direction R to enclose an installation space K. The base belt 110 can be made of materials such as plastic (e.g., rubber, silicone), fabric, or metal (e.g., steel, aluminum, or stainless steel). The base belt 110 is flexible and can rotate along its direction R under external control, acting like a caterpillar track.

[0052] Multiple blades 120 are provided, and all blades 120 are spaced apart along the outer side of the baseband 110 along the encircling direction R. The inner side of the baseband 110 encloses a mounting space K, and the blades 120 are located outside of the mounting space K. The blades are arranged along the encircling direction R, with a thickness h2 thereof extending along the encircling direction R. The blades have a first end D1 connected to the baseband 110 and a second end D2 facing away from the baseband 110. The direction of the first end D1 and the second end D2 corresponds to the width direction of the blades 120. Under the action of an external force, the blades 120 can flip about the first end D1 in the encircling direction R (i.e., along their thickness).

[0053] The blade 120 can be flipped about the first end D1 by: the first end D1 being a structurally weak end, for example, the blade thickness h2 being smaller at the first end D1. In this case, the first end D1 of the blade 120 has weak bending resistance, allowing for flipping. Another method for flipping the blade 120 about the first end D1 is to: the first end D1 of the blade 120 is elastic (e.g., the first end D1 is formed by a spring). Under the action of the elastic force, the blade 120 can flip when subjected to an external force and return to its initial state (the initial state being a state in which the blade 120 is substantially perpendicular to the base band 110) when the external force is removed.

[0054] The blade 120 has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 that are arranged opposite to each other in the enclosing direction R. The first surface S1 and the second surface S2 are arranged opposite to each other in the thickness h2 direction of the blade, and the first surface S1 of each blade 120 is located on the same side of each blade 120 in the enclosing direction R, and the second surface S2 of each blade 120 is located on the same other side of each blade 120 in the enclosing direction R. A wiping portion 121 is provided on one of the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. The embodiment of the present application is described by taking the wiping portion 121 being provided on the second surface S2 as an example. The wiping portion 121 is used to perform a cleaning operation on the cleaned surface 2000. The wiping portion 121 can be a brush, flannel, sponge, etc., and is not specifically limited. The wiping portion 121 can be provided on the second surface S2 by bonding, threading, or integral molding. The first surface S1 is not provided with the wiping portion 121 . When the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 contact the cleaned surface 2000 , the friction force exerted by the first surface S1 on the cleaned surface 2000 is smaller than the friction force exerted by the second surface S2 on the cleaned surface 2000 .

[0055] In actual application, the installation space K is used for the base belt 110 to be installed on the installation base 200 to form the mop assembly 1000. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the mounting seat 200 and the base are assembled as follows: the mounting seat 200 is inserted into the mounting space K of the baseband 110 along the assembly direction. When the mounting seat 200 is in place, the baseband 110 is mounted on the mounting seat 200.

[0056] Driven by the mounting base 200, the base belt 110 can rotate along the circumferential direction R to move the mop assembly 1000 along the cleaned surface 2000. The mounting base 200 drives the base belt 110 along the circumferential direction R in a manner similar to that of a crawler track, such as through roller drive. The specific drive structure of the mounting base 200 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 When the mop assembly 1000 performs a cleaning operation, the base belt 110 rotates in a positive direction (see direction r1) or in a reverse direction (see direction r2) along the surrounding direction R under the drive of the mounting base 200.

[0058] When the base belt 110 rotates forward (see direction r1) (combined with Figures 7 and 8), the first end D1 of the blade 120 located below the base belt 110 moves with the base belt 110, while the second end D2 of the blade 120 has friction with the surface to be cleaned 2000 and lags behind the movement of the first end D1, causing the second end D2 to flip relative to the first end D1 away from the rotation direction of the base belt 110, so that the second surface S2 of the blade 120 faces the surface to be cleaned 2000 and the first surface S1 faces the base belt 110. At this time, the wiping portion 121 on the second surface S2 of the blade 120 contacts the surface to be cleaned 2000, and the friction resistance of the mop 100 to the surface to be cleaned 2000 is large, so the cleansing operation can be performed on the surface to be cleaned 2000.

[0059] When the base belt 110 rotates in the opposite direction (see direction r2), the first end D1 of the blade 120 located below the base belt 110 moves with the base belt 110, while the second end D2 of the blade 120 has friction with the surface to be cleaned 2000 and lags behind the movement of the first end D1, causing the second end D2 to flip relative to the first end D1 away from the rotation direction of the base belt 110, so that the first surface S1 of the blade 120 faces the surface to be cleaned 2000 and the second surface S2 faces the base belt 110. At this time, the first surface S1 of the blade 120 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned 2000, the friction resistance of the mop 100 on the surface to be cleaned 2000 is small, and the cleaning effect on the cleaning surface is small, so the mop 100 moves more effortlessly and smoothly on the surface to be cleaned.

[0060] During actual operation, the mop 100 is mounted on the mounting base 200 via the formed mounting space K. When cleaning the surface 2000, the mounting base 200 drives the base belt 110 to rotate in the forward direction R (see direction r1). The second surface S2 of the blade 120 faces the surface 2000, and the wiping portion 121 on the second surface S2 cleans the surface 2000. When cleaning a carpet, the mounting base 200 drives the base belt 110 to rotate in the reverse direction R (see direction r2). The first surface S1 of the blade 120 faces the surface 2000, preventing the carpet from getting wet. Furthermore, the friction of the first surface S1 on the surface 2000 is low. The running of the base belt 110 helps the cleaning device equipped with the mop 100 move more smoothly and with less effort.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, in actual use, the baseband 110 is mounted on the mounting base 200. In order for the mounting base 200 to effectively support the baseband 110, the outer contour of the projection of the mounting base 200 onto the rotation plane of the baseband 110 (i.e., the plane where the encircling direction R lies) can be adapted to the baseband 110. In other words, the outer contour of the projection of the mounting base 200 onto the rotation plane of the baseband 110 can be arranged along the encircling direction R. In this case, all parts of the baseband 110 can be in contact with the mounting base 200, and the mounting base 200 can effectively support the baseband 110.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, in actual use, the baseband 110 can have two states. In the first state, the baseband 110 is flattened. In the second state, the baseband 110 is rolled along the encircling direction R and encloses the installation space K. The baseband 110 in the first state can be in an environment such as transportation or sales (more convenient for transportation and sales). The baseband 110 in the second state can be in a usage environment. Of course, the baseband 110 can also always be in the second state.

[0063] When the baseband 110 has two states, the two ends of the baseband 110 in the extension direction are disconnected, and the two ends can be directly connected or provided with structures that can be connected to each other, so that the baseband 110 can be wound into a ring structure and enclosed to form the installation space K. When the baseband 110 has two states, the assembly method of the baseband 110 and the mounting seat 200 can be the same as Figure 2 The assembly method shown is different. Specifically, the base belt 110 is wound along the outer contour of the mounting seat 200 in a circle. At this time, the surrounding direction R is set to correspond to the outer contour shape of the mounting seat 200.

[0064] It should be emphasized that as long as the base belt 110 of the mop 100 has the second state of being able to enclose and form an installation space K along the enclosing direction R, regardless of having the first state as described in the above embodiment, it should fall within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.

[0065] Figure 4 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a mop 100 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 5 Shown Figure 4 Enlarged view of point I in the middle.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The mop 100 further includes a connecting structure 130 , and any blade 120 is connected to at least one adjacent blade 120 via the connecting structure 130 , wherein each blade 120 is configured to rotate relative to the connecting structure 130 when its first end D1 is flipped.

[0067] The connection structure 130 may be in the form of a connection rope, a connection sheet, a connection block, a connection cloth, etc. The connection structure 130 may have a certain degree of flexibility, such as being made of rubber, silicone, etc.

[0068] A connecting structure 130 can connect only two adjacent blades 120, or it can connect multiple adjacent blades 120. The connecting structure 130 can be located between the blade 120 and the cleaned surface 2000, or it can be arranged on the side of the blade 120. During the turning process, the blade 120 can rotate relative to the connecting structure 130 to change the angle between the two, thereby allowing it to turn around its first end D1.

[0069] It is understood that the blade 120 can be rotated relative to the connecting structure 130 by being rotatably connected to the connecting structure 130 via a rotating shaft, or the connection between the blade 120 and the connecting structure 130 can be made weaker, thereby allowing the blade 120 to rotate relative to the connecting structure 130. Of course, the method for rotating the blade 120 relative to the connecting structure 130 is not limited to the above method.

[0070] During the rotation of the base belt 110, when one of the blades 120 flips, the connecting structure 130 can pull the other adjacent blade 120 to flip synchronously. In this way, the connecting structure 130 can accelerate the synchronous flipping of other blades 120 when one blade 120 flips, thereby providing synchronization of the flipping of each blade 120.

[0071] Further to the embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , there are at least two adjacent blades 120 whose second ends D2 are not connected to each other.

[0072] When a blade 120 flips, the connecting structure 130 located on the rear side of the blade 120 in the flipping direction can drive the other blades 120 on the rear side to flip. However, the blade 120 is also restricted by the connecting structure 130 located on the front side of the blade 120 in the flipping direction, which hinders its flipping. If there is no connecting structure 130 connected to the front side of the blade 120 in the flipping direction, its flipping will not be hindered, and the flipping will be smoother.

[0073] The second ends D2 of the two connected blades 120 are not connected to each other, that is, the second ends D2 of the two blades 120 are not connected by the connecting structure 130. When one blade 120 flips toward the other blade 120, the flipping will not be hindered by the connecting structure 130 located between the two, and the flipping is smoother.

[0074] exist Figure 4In the embodiment described above, two groups of adjacent blades 120 are not connected by the connecting structure 130, thereby dividing the blades 120 into two groups. When one group of blades 120 flips, it does not affect whether the other group of blades 120 flips, nor is it restricted from flipping by the other group of blades 120. Of course, in other embodiments, only one group of adjacent blades 120 may not be connected by the connecting structure 130, or more groups of adjacent blades 120 may not be connected by the connecting structure 130.

[0075] Further to the embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 Each blade 120 has a second end D2 that is away from the base belt 110 , and the connecting structure 130 connects the second ends D2 of two adjacent blades 120 and can contact the cleaned surface 2000 .

[0076] During the flipping process of the blade 120, the movement amplitude of its second end D2 is the largest. The greater the force of the traction connection structure 130 through its second end D2 to pull another blade 120 to flip, the better the synchronization of the flipping of adjacent blades 120, and the more uniform the flipping of the blades 120.

[0077] At the same time, the connecting structure 130 is arranged at the second end D2 of the blade 120. When performing the cleaning operation, the connecting structure 130 can be in contact with the cleaning surface, thereby increasing the static friction between the mop 100 and the cleaned surface 2000. During the rotation of the base belt 110, the first ends D1 of each blade 120 connected to the connecting structure 130 follow the movement of the base belt 110. The second ends D2 of each blade 120 can remain stationary due to the large static friction between the connecting structure 130 and the cleaned surface 2000, so that each blade 120 can be flipped in the same direction relative to the base belt 110 at the same time, which not only increases the success rate of flipping of each blade 120, but also ensures the flipping synchronization of adjacent blades 120.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The end of the connecting structure 130 connected to the second end D2 is the connecting end D3, and at least one of the connected connecting end D3 and the second end D2, and / or the first end D1 is constructed as a thinned end P, and the minimum thickness of the thinned end P is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the maximum thickness of the blade 120.

[0079] exist Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting end D3 and the first end D1 are thinned ends P. When the connecting end D3 is the thinned end P, the thickness h1 of the thinned end where the connecting end D3 is located refers to the thickness of the connecting end D3 in a direction perpendicular to the base strip 110, and the minimum thickness of the thinned end P where the connecting end D3 is located is the minimum thickness of the connecting end D3 in the direction perpendicular to the base strip 110. When the first end D1 is the thinned end P, the thickness h1 of the thinned end where the first end D1 is located refers to the thickness of the first end D1 in the circumferential direction R, and the minimum thickness of the thinned end P where the first end D1 is located is the minimum thickness of the first end D1 in the circumferential direction R. In other embodiments, when the second end D2 is the thinned end P, the thickness h1 of the thinned end where the second end D2 is located refers to the thickness of the second end D2 in the circumferential direction R, and the minimum thickness of the thinned end P where the second end D2 is located is the minimum thickness of the second end D2 in the circumferential direction R.

[0080] The thickness h2 of the blade refers to the thickness of the middle portion between the first end D1 and the second end D2 of the blade 120 in the circumferential direction R. Usually, the thickness of the middle portion can be set uniformly. The maximum thickness of the blade 120 is the maximum thickness of the middle portion.

[0081] Experiments have shown that the minimum thickness of the thinned end P is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the maximum thickness of the blade 120. Not only can the blade 120 be turned over smoothly, but the thinned end P is also strong and will not break.

[0082] In some embodiments, the connection structure 130, blades 120, and baseband 110 are constructed as a single-piece flexible component. Specifically, the connection structure 130, blades 120, and baseband 110 are formed as a single-piece rubber component, silicone component, soft plastic component, etc. The single-piece molding method can be a single-piece injection molding or a double-piece injection molding connection, without limitation, as long as the finished product is a single-piece component.

[0083] At this time, the mop 100 is flexible as a whole, and when the base belt 110 is installed on the mounting base 200, the flexibility of the base belt 110 can make it fit more firmly with the mounting base 200. In addition, the blade 120 and the connecting structure 130 are flexible and can deform to support the blade 120 to flip.

[0084] Specifically in the embodiment, each blade 120 is extended along a direction perpendicular to the plane where the surrounding direction R is located.

[0085] The direction perpendicular to the plane where the surrounding direction R is located is recorded as the first direction. At this time, each blade 120 itself extends along the first direction and is arranged along the surrounding direction R at intervals.

[0086] In this case, the blades 120 are extended in the first direction, and the various parts of the blades 120 in the first direction can be turned synchronously, which can ensure the synchronization of the turning of the blades 120 in the first direction, reduce the number of connection structures 130, and reduce costs. At the same time, the number of blades 120 is small but the cleaning area is large, the cleaning effect is good, and the structure is simple.

[0087] Of course, in other embodiments, a plurality of blades 120 may be provided in the first direction, and the blades 120 in the first direction may be connected via a connecting member.

[0088] In the embodiment, the connecting structure 130 is disposed on at least one side of each blade 120 in its extension direction. When the connecting structure 130 is disposed on the side of the blade 120 in the extension direction, a larger area of ​​the center of the blade 120 can effectively contact the cleaned surface 2000 after the blade 120 is turned over, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mop 100.

[0089] Optionally, the connecting structure 130 is arranged on both sides of each blade 120 in its own extension direction. In this way, both sides of the blade 120 in the extension direction can drive the two sides of the adjacent blade 120 to flip synchronously through the connecting structure 130, and the flipping synchronization of the blade 120 itself at various locations in the extension direction is better.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 In a direction perpendicular to the base band 110 , the length of each blade 120 is a first dimension J1 , and in the surrounding direction R, the spacing distance J2 between adjacent blades 120 is not less than the first dimension J1 .

[0091] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows the definition of the first dimension J1 and the spacing distance J2. When the spacing distance J2 between adjacent blades 120 is equal to or greater than the first dimension J1, the blades 120 will not overlap with adjacent blades 120 when flipped. This prevents obstruction of the wiping portion 121 between adjacent blades 120 and improves the cleaning efficiency of the mop 100. It can be understood that when the spacing distance J2 between adjacent blades 120 is equal to the first dimension J1, the cleaning area formed by all blades 120 is maximized and the blade 120 utilization rate is maximized.

[0092] In some embodiments, the base belt 110 is constructed to be controllably rotated in the forward direction (see direction r1) or reverse direction (see direction r2) along the surrounding direction R. When the mop 100 is in the state of performing a cleaning operation, each blade 120 in contact with the cleaned surface 2000 can flip around its own first end D1 away from the rotation direction of the base belt 110.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 3When the mop 100 performs a cleaning operation, the base belt 110 rotates in a positive direction (see direction r1) or in a reverse direction (see direction r2) along the surrounding direction R under the drive of the mounting base 200.

[0094] When the base belt 110 rotates forward (see direction r1), the first end D1 of the blade 120 located below the base belt 110 moves with the base belt 110, while the second end D2 of the blade 120 has friction with the surface to be cleaned 2000 and lags behind the movement of its first end D1, causing the second end D2 to flip relative to the first end D1 away from the rotation direction of the base belt 110, so that the second surface S2 of the blade 120 faces the surface to be cleaned 2000 and the first surface S1 faces the base belt 110. At this time, the wiping portion 121 on the second surface S2 of the blade 120 contacts the surface to be cleaned 2000, and the friction resistance of the mop 100 to the surface to be cleaned 2000 is large, so the cleansing operation can be performed on the surface to be cleaned 2000.

[0095] When the base belt 110 rotates in the opposite direction (see direction r2), the first end D1 of the blade 120 located below the base belt 110 moves with the base belt 110, while the second end D2 of the blade 120 has friction with the surface to be cleaned 2000 and lags behind the movement of the first end D1, causing the second end D2 to flip relative to the first end D1 away from the rotation direction of the base belt 110, so that the first surface S1 of the blade 120 faces the surface to be cleaned 2000 and the second surface S2 faces the base belt 110. At this time, the first surface S1 of the blade 120 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned 2000, the friction resistance of the mop 100 on the surface to be cleaned 2000 is small, and the cleaning effect on the cleaning surface is small, so the mop 100 moves more effortlessly and smoothly on the surface to be cleaned.

[0096] Specifically in the embodiment, the trajectory formed when the base belt 110 rotates along the circumferential direction R is a rotation trajectory Q, and the rotation trajectory Q has a plane segment Q1 facing the surface to be cleaned 2000 .

[0097] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 Shown Figure 4 The rotation track Q formed by the base belt 110 in the mop 100 when it rotates is shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the rotation trajectory Q of the base belt 110 has a plane segment Q1 facing the cleaned surface 2000. When performing the cleaning operation, the blades 120 on the base belt 110 can rub against the cleaned surface 2000 while moving along the plane segment Q1 after being flipped. In this way, the contact time between the blades 120 and the cleaned surface 2000 is longer, and the cleaning effect of the mop 100 is better.

[0098] At the same time, during the rotation of the base belt 110, the mop 100 is always in surface contact with the cleaned surface 2000. The mop 100 is not easy to slip, has a strong climbing ability, and is more adaptable to the cleaned surface 2000 with complex terrain.

[0099] In some embodiments, as projected onto the plane of the encircling direction R, the base belt 110 includes a first segment 111, a second segment 112, a third segment 113, and a fourth segment 114, connected end to end. The first segment 111 and the third segment 113 are disposed opposite each other and are both arc segments, while the second segment 112 and the fourth segment 114 are disposed opposite each other and are both straight segments. In this case, the base belt 110 has a simple structure, a small vertical dimension, and a large horizontal area. This not only helps reduce the height of the mop 100, miniaturizing the cleaning device, but also increases the cleaning area and improves the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device.

[0100] Of course, in other embodiments, the projection of the base tape 110 on the plane where the enclosing direction R is located may also be in a triangular shape, a polygonal shape, a circular shape, etc.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, a mop 100 includes a base belt 110, a plurality of blades 120, and a connecting structure 130. The base belt 110 can be enclosed along a predetermined enclosing direction R to form an installation space K. All blades 120 are spaced apart on the base belt 110 along the enclosing direction and located outside the installation space K. Each blade 120 has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 that are oppositely disposed in the enclosing direction R. The second surface S2 is provided with a wiping portion 121. Each blade 120 is connected to at least one adjacent blade 120 via the connecting structure 130. Each blade 120 is configured to rotate relative to the connecting structure 130 when its first end D1 is flipped over.

[0102] Figures 7 to 9 The mop 100 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 , where the base belt 110 switches from reverse rotation (see direction r2) to forward rotation (see direction r1) to illustrate the turning process of the blade 120. Figure 7 In the initial state of the base belt 110 switching from reverse rotation (see direction r2) to forward rotation (see direction r1), after the base belt 110 comes down from the carpet, the second surface S2 of the blade 120 faces away from the cleaned surface 2000, and the first surface S1 faces the cleaned surface 2000. Figure 8 In the embodiment, when the base belt 110 rotates forward (see direction r1) for a certain distance, the connecting structure 130 remains stationary due to the static friction with the surface 2000 to be cleaned, while the first end D1 of the blade 120 moves from right to left along with the base belt 110, and the blade 120 bends and folds. Figure 9In the embodiment, the blade 120 is completely turned over, with the second surface S2 of the blade 120 facing the cleaned surface 2000 and the first surface S1 facing away from the cleaned surface 2000, and the mop 100 can perform a cleaning operation.

[0103] Based on the same invention concept, please refer to Figure 3 Some embodiments of the present application further provide a mop assembly 1000, comprising the mop 100 and the mounting base 200 in the above embodiment, wherein the mounting base 200 is sleeved in the mounting space K, and the mounting base 200 is configured to drive the base belt 110 to rotate along the surrounding direction R when rotated under external drive.

[0104] When the mop assembly 1000 is to be cleaned on a surface 2000, the mounting base 200 drives the base belt 110 to rotate in the forward direction R (see direction r1). The second surface S2 of the blade 120 faces the cleaned surface 2000, and the wiping portion 121 on the second surface S2 cleans the cleaned surface 2000. When the mop assembly 1000 is to be cleaned on a carpet, the mounting base 200 drives the base belt 110 to rotate in the reverse direction R (see direction r2). The first surface S1 of the blade 120 faces the cleaned surface 2000, preventing the carpet from getting wet. Furthermore, the friction of the first surface S1 on the cleaned surface 2000 is low. The running of the base belt 110 helps the cleaning device equipped with the mop 100 to move more smoothly and with less effort.

[0105] To achieve rotation of the base belt 110, at least one rotating shaft can be provided on the mounting base 200. Each rotating shaft is in driving contact with the base belt 110. When each rotating shaft rotates, it drives the base belt 110 to rotate about the mounting base 200. The rotation direction of the base belt 110 can be changed by changing the rotation direction of each rotating shaft. As for the specific arrangement of the rotating shafts, those skilled in the art can refer to the drive method of the crawler track for conventional design, and the specific arrangement is not limited here.

[0106] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The mounting seat 200 includes a main body 201 and at least two rotating shafts 202. At least two rotating shafts 202 are parallel to and rotatably arranged on the main body 201. The main body 201 and the rotating shafts 202 are both in contact with the base belt 110. When all the rotating shafts 202 rotate under external drive, they drive the base belt 110 to rotate along the circumferential direction R.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The axis of the rotating shaft is perpendicular to the plane of the encircling direction R. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the attached base belt 110 to rotate along the encircling direction R. Changing the rotational direction of the rotating shaft can change the rotational direction of the base belt 110. When both the rotating shaft portion 202 and the main body portion 201 are in contact with the base belt 110, the base belt 110 can provide better support for the blades 120 during rotation, ensuring more reliable contact between the blades 120 and the surface 2000 being cleaned.

[0108] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a cleaning device (not shown), comprising the above-mentioned mop assembly 1000. The cleaning device includes all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail here.

[0109] The cleaning device can be a floor scrubber, a floor sweeper, or the like. The cleaning device typically includes a floor brush, which includes a housing on which a mop assembly 1000 is mounted. The floor brush may also be provided with wheels, etc. The cleaning device may also include a water spray mechanism, which is mounted on the housing and is used to spray water onto the surface being cleaned 2000.

[0110] The cleaning device is further provided with a driving mechanism (not shown), which is provided in the housing and is used for drivingly connecting with the mounting base 200 to drive the mounting base 200 to rotate so as to rotate the base belt 110. The driving mechanism can be a combination of a speed reducer and a pulley, or other mechanism that can drive the mounting base 200 to rotate, which is not limited here.

[0111] Specifically, the driving mechanism drives the rotating shaft portion 202 on the mounting base 200 to rotate synchronously in the same direction to realize the rotation of the baseband 110. The specific implementation method can be conventionally designed by those skilled in the art and is not limited here.

[0112] In one example, the driving mechanism may be a traveling wheel on the cleaning device. When the traveling wheel rotates under the push of a power source or a user, the mounting base 200 is driven to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the base belt 110 .

[0113] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0114] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
