Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of cleaning devices such as electric mops, floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, and robotic vacuum cleaners, specifically a rotating mop cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The cleaning devices referred to in this application are mainly cleaning devices used in indoor settings (home, office, etc.), such as electric mops, floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, and robot vacuum cleaners, which are required to be small in size, easy to move, lightweight, and inexpensive.

[0003] In the aforementioned cleaning devices, utilizing rotating mops to improve cleaning performance has become an important research direction. Rotating mops are increasingly used in electric mops, floor scrubbers, and robotic vacuum cleaners. Rotating mops and commonly used roller brushes have become two parallel technologies, or rather, two parallel technological routes, in the cleaning field. While roller brushes have been extensively researched and widely used in the industry, research on rotating mops is relatively limited, especially on cleaning devices incorporating rotating mop cleaning devices with suction functions.

[0004] The applicant, with extensive experience in the cleaning field, discovered during its research that while rotary mops offer strong cleaning performance, their cleaning motion differs significantly from that of roller brushes. Roller brushes are typically horizontally positioned with suction ports located behind or above them. As the roller brush rolls forward, its rotational motion effectively directs debris towards the suction port, allowing for better collection. In contrast, the axis of rotation of a rotary mop is roughly perpendicular to the surface being cleaned. When the mop rotates circumferentially, it easily flings debris in all directions, contaminating the surface. Therefore, frequent cleaning of the rotary mop is necessary to reduce debris fling. Currently, to simplify cleaning, cleaning stations are often used for mechanized cleaning of the rotary mop. However, this process is time-consuming and inconvenient for users. Thus, current rotary mop cleaning devices suffer from the aforementioned problems. Furthermore, limited research and a lack of readily available technologies make further research extremely difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and propose a rotating mop cleaning device. By adopting certain technical means, the degree of garbage being thrown around is reduced, which helps to extend the working time of the rotating mop and thus avoids frequent cleaning of the rotating mop, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention proposes a rotating mop cleaning device, including a suction port and a rotating mop. The suction port is used to suck up garbage, and the rotating mop is used for rotating cleaning. The rotating mop is equipped with a scraper for scraping off garbage on the circumferential side of the rotating mop. The garbage is sucked away by the suction port.

[0007] As an improvement, the rotating mop includes two rotating mops arranged side by side, namely a first rotating mop and a second rotating mop, with a scraper located between the first rotating mop and the second rotating mop. The left end of the scraper is used to scrape off debris from the circumferential side of the first rotating mop, and the right end of the scraper is used to scrape off debris from the circumferential side of the second rotating mop.

[0008] As an improvement, the scraper includes a middle section designed to prevent the waste from passing through the suction port.

[0009] As an improvement, the middle section is closer to the suction port.

[0010] As an improvement, the left end of the scraper extends in the opposite direction of rotation along the circumferential side of the first rotating mop, and the right end of the scraper extends in the opposite direction of rotation along the circumferential side of the second rotating mop.

[0011] As an improvement, the left end of the scraper is extended to be located on the left front side of the suction port, and the right end of the scraper is extended to be located on the right front side of the suction port.

[0012] As an improvement, it includes an upper part, which is located on the upper side of each rotating mop. The upper part has a front side portion, a suction port is provided between the two front side portions, and a scraper is provided between the two front side portions. The suction port and the scraper are arranged vertically.

[0013] As an improvement, the two front side sections are provided with guide arc surfaces at one end of the suction port, and the two guide arc surfaces and the suction port form a figure-eight shaped inlet.

[0014] As an improvement, the two ends of the scraper are located on the lower side of the two guide arc surfaces.

[0015] As an improvement, the two ends of the scraper are set to be arc-shaped with the same curvature as the corresponding guide arc surface.

[0016] As an improvement, the scraper adopts a detachable scraper strip structure.

[0017] As an improvement, the relative rotation direction between the first and second rotating mops is to rotate in opposite directions.

[0018] As an improvement, the number of suction ports is one, and both the suction port and the scraper are located on the front side between the first rotating mop and the second rotating mop.

[0019] As an improvement, the suction port is used to simultaneously suck up debris from the front of the rotating mop cleaning device and scrape off debris from the circumferential sides of the rotating mop.

[0020] With the above structure, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention can continuously clean the circumferential side of the rotating mop, and the scraped garbage is sucked away by the suction port. In this way, the amount of garbage carried on the circumferential side of the rotating mop is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the degree to which garbage is thrown around, which helps to extend the working time of the rotating mop and avoids frequent cleaning of the rotating mop, thus making it more convenient for users to use.

[0021] Furthermore, if the device includes a first rotating mop and a second rotating mop, with the suction port and scraper both located on the front side between the first and second rotating mops, and the relative rotation direction between the first and second rotating mops is opposite, then the effect of the present invention can be improved. This is because: during cleaning, the surface to be cleaned is in front of the rotating mop cleaning device. With the above structure, a state is formed in which the first and second rotating mops, after being cleaned by the scraper, wipe the surface to be cleaned in a relatively clean state. After wiping the surface to be cleaned by rotating in opposite directions, they are immediately processed by the scraper and suction port located on the front side. In this way, the time that the debris stays on the circumferential side of the rotating mop is shorter, thereby forming a better working cycle, which is conducive to better achieving the purpose of the present invention.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will arise for those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0029] The invention will now be described in further detail. An example of the rotating mop cleaning device is a floor scrubber. This floor scrubber preferably employs two rotating mops arranged side-by-side, which provides a larger cleaning area and higher cleaning efficiency. Floor scrubbers using this invention reduce the amount of debris thrown around, which helps extend the working time of the rotating mops and avoids frequent cleaning, thus making them more convenient for users.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 Figure 4 shows a rotating mop assembly of a rotating mop cleaning device. The rotating mop assembly shown in the figure does not contact the surface being cleaned, so the rotating mop is not compressed, hence the thickness shown in the figure is relatively thick. When it contacts the surface being cleaned, due to the weight of the rotating mop cleaning device, the rotating mop will be compressed and its thickness will be reduced after the rotating mop assembly is placed on the surface being cleaned.

[0031] The rotating mop assembly includes a suction port 1 and a rotating mop. The suction port 1 is connected to the suction assembly, which generates suction force, such as an electric motor. The suction port 1 uses the suction force to suck up debris, and the rotating mop is used for rotating cleaning.

[0032] This example is the optimal solution. In this example, the number of suction ports 1 is set to one. Both suction port 1 and scraper 10 are located on the front side between the first rotating mop 2 and the second rotating mop 3. The suction port 1 is used to simultaneously suck up the debris on the front side of the rotating mop cleaning device and scrape off the debris obtained from the circumferential side of the rotating mop. With this design, the cleaning effect and efficiency are improved, while the structure is greatly simplified and the cost is reduced.

[0033] Of course, there can be more than one suction port 1.

[0034] The rotating mop includes two rotating mops arranged side by side, namely a first rotating mop 2 and a second rotating mop 3. The suction port 1 is located between the first rotating mop 2 and the second rotating mop 3. The relative rotation direction between the first rotating mop 2 and the second rotating mop 3 is opposite to each other. A scraper 10 is located between the first rotating mop 2 and the second rotating mop 3. The left end of the scraper 10 is used to scrape off the debris on the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2, and the right end of the scraper 10 is used to scrape off the debris on the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3.

[0035] In this example, the left end of the scraper 10 extends in the opposite direction of rotation along the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2, and the right end of the scraper 10 extends in the opposite direction of rotation along the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3. This allows for better cleaning of the circumferential side of the corresponding rotating mop and results in less resistance.

[0036] The left end of the scraper 10 extends to the front left side of the suction port 1, and the right end of the scraper 10 extends to the front right side of the suction port 1. This allows the cleaned-up debris to be sucked away by the suction port 1 more effectively and quickly.

[0037] In addition to the scraper 10, in this example, a baffle 4 is provided on the front side of the first rotating mop 2, the suction port 1, and the second rotating mop 3. A first guide channel 5 is formed between the front part of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2 and the baffle 4. A second guide channel 6 is formed between the front part of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3 and the baffle 4. A collection channel 7 connecting the first guide channel 5 and the second guide channel 6 is formed between the suction port 1 and the baffle 4.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the arrows indicate the opposite rotations.

[0039] Along the vertical direction, both the first guide channel 5 and the second guide channel 6 include an upper part and a lower part. The lower part is the portion formed between the baffle 4 and the front side of the corresponding rotating mop's circumferential side, while the upper part is the portion formed between the baffle 4 and the front side 9 of the upper part 8. The upper part 8 is located on the upper side of the corresponding rotating mop. The upper and lower parts can be referenced. Figure 3 As shown. This design increases the depth of the first guide channel 5 and the second guide channel 6, which is beneficial for the containment and movement of waste. It also facilitates the positioning of the suction port 1, allowing the suction port 1 to be positioned higher than the rotating mop.

[0040] A suction port 1 is located between the two front side sections 9. This design facilitates more efficient and comprehensive waste collection, and also results in a compact structure.

[0041] The depth of the upper part is approximately equal to the thickness of the suction port 1. This design facilitates the smooth collection and movement of waste.

[0042] like Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figure 5, a scraper 10 is provided between the two front side portions 9. The left end of the scraper 10 is used to scrape away debris from the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2, and the right end of the scraper 10 is used to scrape away debris from the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3. This design is beneficial in two ways: firstly, it helps to remove debris from the circumferential side, which improves the cleaning performance of the rotating mop; secondly, the structure is very compact; and thirdly, the debris that is cleaned up can be collected nearby by the suction port 1, thereby achieving efficient debris collection and avoiding the accumulation of debris at both ends of the scraper 10 due to insufficient collection time. If accumulation occurs, the rotating mop will become dirty.

[0043] The scraper 10, positioned between the two front side portions 9, also has an additional positive effect: it greatly prevents the first rotating mop 2 and the second rotating mop 3 from carrying or throwing garbage into the space between them when they rotate in opposite directions. In other words, the scraper 10 also acts as a barrier. After being blocked by the scraper 10, the blocked garbage is sucked away by the suction port 1, thus enabling better cleaning of the circumferential sides of the rotating mop.

[0044] In summary, the design of the scraper 10 is very ingenious. On the one hand, the structure is very simple and compact, connecting the two front side parts 9. On the other hand, it greatly improves the cleaning effect.

[0045] To achieve better cleaning results, in this example, it is preferably configured such that the two front side portions 9 are provided with guide arc surfaces 13 at one end of the suction port 1, and the two guide arc surfaces 13 and the suction port 1 form a figure-eight shaped inlet.

[0046] To achieve better and faster cleaning results, in this example, it is preferably configured that the two ends of the scraper 10 are located on the lower side of the two guide arc surfaces 13.

[0047] To achieve better and faster cleaning results, in this example, it is preferable that the two ends of the scraper 10 are set to be arcs with approximately the same curvature as the corresponding guide arc surface 13.

[0048] The specific structure of the scraper 10 can vary. There can be one or more scrapers 10. The suction port 1 for sucking up the garbage is preferably located near the scraper 10. There can be one or more openings.

[0049] In this example, the middle part is located near the suction port 1, so the blocked debris can be sucked away more quickly by the suction port 1, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0050] The scraper 10 adopts a detachable scraper structure. This design allows for the replacement of the scraper 10, thus enabling the selection of a scraper 10 that causes less damage to the circumferential side of the rotating mop. In addition, timely replacement of the scraper 10 is beneficial for the cleaning effect on the circumferential side of the new rotating mop after it is replaced.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 4 is provided with a suction port 11. With the suction port 11, the garbage located in front of the rotating mop cleaning device can be quickly entered into the guide channel and / or suction port 1, so that it can be better collected by the suction port 1. Therefore, the suction port 11 and the guide channel form a positive synergistic effect.

[0052] The baffle 4 has at least one suction port 11 at the front of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2, the front of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3, and the suction port 1. The number of suction ports 11 should not be excessive; too many would hinder the construction of the flow channel. In this example, the baffle 4 has one suction port 11 at the front of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2, the front of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3, and the suction port 1. This design allows for more comprehensive and rapid introduction of waste into the flow channel, achieving efficient cleaning while effectively avoiding adverse effects on the flow channel.

[0053] In this example, the shape of the first guide channel 5 at the front side of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2 and the shape of the second guide channel 6 at the front side of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3 are both arc-shaped guide channels adapted to the corresponding circumferential side shapes of the rotating mops. This design is more conducive to the movement of waste and also facilitates the formation of an arc-shaped airflow during the circumferential rotation of the rotating mop.

[0054] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the shape of the baffle 4 at the front side of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2 and the front side of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3 are both arc-shaped and adapted to the circumferential side shapes of the corresponding rotating mops. Similarly, the shape of the front side portion 9 at the front side of the circumferential side of the first rotating mop 2 and the front side of the circumferential side of the second rotating mop 3 are both arc-shaped and adapted to the circumferential side shapes of the corresponding rotating mops. The arc-shaped baffle 4, the arc-shaped front side portion 9, and the circumferential side of the corresponding rotating mops together form a corresponding arc-shaped flow channel. This structure is simple and compact, which is beneficial for production and assembly. In this example, the lower end face of the upper part 8 also serves as the support surface for the rotating mop. With the aforementioned design, the arc-shaped flow channel is easier to implement, and the structural complexity and weight are well controlled.

[0055] In this example, in order to better guide the waste into the flow channel, the transition between the front side portion 9 and the lower end face is set as an arc surface 12.

[0056] Other structural features of the floor scrubber can be achieved using existing technologies, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0057] Of course, the present invention can also be used in other rotating mop cleaning devices, such as vacuum cleaners, robot vacuum cleaners, etc. The present invention can be clearly understood by referring to the above examples, so no further details will be provided.

[0058] When understanding this invention, the above structure may be referred to other appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that's understood, so I won't go into details here.

[0059] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
