Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning robots, and more particularly to mop box structures. Background Technology

[0002] Current intelligent cleaning robots generally include robots that sweep dust from cleaning areas, robots that mop cleaning areas, or robot vacuum and mop combos that combine both functions. However, the dirty cloths generated after mopping require collection from the mop box, which needs to be disassembled to clean the cloths inside. Existing mop box structures are relatively complex, and installing and removing them is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the current mop box structure is inconvenient for users and poses a safety risk due to the mechanical injury from the toothed hooks when users clean the mop.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 19This application provides a mop box structure according to one embodiment, including a material-picking mechanism 23, the material-picking mechanism 23 having a disassembly part 33 for removing a mop to be processed; the disassembly part 33 may be, for example, a toothed hook; a protective cover 39 for housing at least a portion of the material-picking mechanism 23; and a mop box 35, the mop box 35 being movable to have a first state and a second state; in the first state, at least a portion of the disassembly part 33 extends into the protective cover 39 to hide the disassembly part 33; in the second state, at least a portion of the disassembly part 33 extends out of the protective cover 39 to remove the mop to be processed.

[0041] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the mop box structure described in this application includes a protective cover 39, a material handling mechanism 23, and a mop box 35. The material handling mechanism 23 has a disassembly part 33. The mop box 35 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, at least part of the disassembly part 33 extends into the protective cover 39 to hide the disassembly part 33. In the second state, at least part of the disassembly part 33 extends out of the protective cover 39 to remove the mop to be processed. Thus, when it is necessary to clean the mop to be processed in the mop box 35, it is only necessary to keep the mop box 35 in the first state, so that the disassembly part 33 can be hidden by the protective cover 39. This prevents the operator from being mechanically injured by the disassembly part 33 when cleaning the mop to be processed. When it is necessary to use the mop box 35 to retrieve the mop to be processed, simply position the mop box 35 in the second state. This allows the mop plate containing the mop to be processed to be driven into the mop box 35 by external power. Then, the mop plate is driven in the opposite direction by external power, causing it to exit the mop box 35. At this point, the disassembly part 33 on the material handling mechanism 23 hooks and pulls the mop to be processed off the material handling part, thus removing the mop to be processed. This facilitates the retrieval of the mop to be processed from the mop box 35. In other words, in the first state, the protective cover 39 of the mop box 35 described in this application embodiment prevents operators from being mechanically injured by the disassembly part 33 when cleaning the mop to be processed. In the second state, the material handling mechanism 23 can retrieve the mop to be processed from outside the mop box 35 back into the mop box 35, making the operation simple and safe.

[0042] Further, please refer to Figures 1 to 19 . Figures 1 to 12 This is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of this application. Figures 13 to 19 This is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of this application. The first and second embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In the first embodiment, the mop box structure further includes a support frame 11. This support frame 11 supports at least one of the mop box 35, the protective cover 39, and the flipping mechanism 46. Further, the support frame 11 includes a first frame 13 and a second frame 15 disposed opposite to each other. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the first frame 13 and the second frame 15 are arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction. Specifically, the first frame 13 is located to the left of the second frame 15. Further, both the first frame 13 and the second frame 15 are plate-shaped. The structures of the first frame 13 and the second frame 15 are similar. Specifically, as... Figure 7 As shown, the first frame body 13 includes a first upper plate body 16 . like Figure 8 As shown, the first frame 13 also includes a first lower plate 19. Further, as... Figure 1 As shown, the first upper plate 16 and the first lower plate 19 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The second frame 15 includes a second upper plate 18 and a second lower plate 21 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first upper plate 16 and the second upper plate 18 face each other. The first lower plate 19 and the second lower plate 21 face each other.

[0044] Furthermore, the mop box 35 is provided with an outwardly opening 87 and a recycling space 37 for collecting the mop cloths to be treated. The opening 87 is connected to the recycling space 37. The opening 87 allows the mop cloths to be treated outside the mop box 35 to pass through and enter the recycling space 37. Specifically, the mop box 35 is generally hollow. This hollow portion forms the recycling space 37. More specifically, as... Figure 11 As shown, the mop box 35 includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface connecting the upper and lower surfaces. An opening 87 is provided on the side surface. The upper surface, lower surface, and side surface enclose a recycling space 37. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the opening 87 opens to the left. This allows the mop cloth outside the mop box 35 to pass through the opening 87 from the left side of the mop box 35 into the recycling space 37. In the first embodiment, the mop box 35 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 11. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the mop box 35 is disposed between the first frame 13 and the second frame 15.

[0045] In the first embodiment, the material handling mechanism 23 includes a material handling component. The material handling component is disposed at at least one of the opposite ends of the opening 87. A disassembly part 33 is disposed on the material handling component. Specifically, the material handling mechanism 23 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 11. More specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, the material handling mechanism 23 includes an upper material handling component 26 disposed at the upper end of the opening 87 and a lower material handling component 25 disposed at the lower end of the mop box 35. Further, for example, as... Figure 1As shown, the upper material handling assembly 26 is disposed between the first upper plate 16 and the second upper plate 18. The lower material handling assembly 25 is disposed between the first lower plate 19 and the second lower plate 21. For example, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the mop box 35 is located between the first upper plate 16 and the second upper plate 18. The lower end of the mop box 35 is located between the first lower plate 19 and the second lower plate 21. Thus, the upper picking assembly 26 and the lower picking assembly 25 can respectively hook the mop to be processed into the recycling space 37 from the upper and lower ends of the mop box 35. Further, the lower picking assembly 25 includes a longitudinally extending first frame 29 and a plurality of first extension rods 27 spaced apart along the longitudinal extension direction on the first frame 29. Specifically, for example... Figure 10 As shown, the first frame 29 includes two first rods 79 disposed opposite each other and a second rod 81 located between the two first rods 79. More specifically, for example, as Figure 10 As shown, the first rod 79 extends vertically. The second rod 81 is located between the two vertically arranged first rods 79. Further, as... Figure 10 As shown, the first extension rod 27 includes seven rods. However, the number of first extension rods 27 is not limited to seven; it can also be eight, nine, etc., which is not specified in this application. Specifically, as... Figure 10 As shown, the first extension rod 27 is an arc-shaped rod extending outward from the first frame 29. Of course, the first extension rod 27 can also be a straight rod, which is not specified in this application.

[0046] Furthermore, the upper material handling assembly 26 includes a longitudinally extending second frame 31 and a plurality of second extension rods 28 spaced apart on the second frame 31 along the longitudinal extension direction. Specifically, for example, as shown in the figure... Figure 9 As shown, the second frame 31 includes two opposing third rods 83 and a fourth rod 85 located between the two third rods 83. Further, as... Figure 9 As shown, the second extension rod 28 is an arc-shaped rod extending outward from the second frame 31. Of course, the second extension rod 28 can also be a straight rod, which is not specified in this application.

[0047] Furthermore, the mop to be treated can be, for example, a used, dirty cloth. Furthermore, the disassembly part 33 is a first sawtooth located on the side of the first extension rod 27 opposite to the first frame 29. Alternatively, the disassembly part 33 is a second sawtooth located on the side of the second extension rod 28 opposite to the second frame 31. Both the first and second sawtooths are used to hook and pull the mop to be treated on the mop board, thereby tearing the mop to be treated off the mop board.

[0048] Furthermore, a protective cover 39 is disposed on the support frame 11. The protective cover 39 is used to house at least a portion of the material handling mechanism 23. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 39 includes an upper cover 41 near the upper material handling assembly 26 and a lower cover 44 near the lower material handling assembly 25.

[0049] Furthermore, for example, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the upper cover 41 is positioned above the upper material handling assembly 26. The upper cover 41 is located on the left side of the mop box 35. Figure 3 As shown, the second sawtooth faces upward and extends into the upper cover 41. The first sawtooth faces upward and extends into the lower cover 44. For example, as... Figure 6 As shown, the second saw tooth faces to the right and extends into the recycling space 37. The first saw tooth faces to the right and extends into the recycling space 37. Thus, both the first and second saw teeth extend out of the protective cover 39 to pull the mop to be processed and pull it into the recycling space 37.

[0050] Furthermore, the mop box 35 has a first state and a second state. See also... Figures 3 to 6 . Figures 3 to 6 This illustrates the intermediate process of the mop box 35 according to the first embodiment of this application from a fully first state to a second state. Specifically, Figure 3 The mop box 35 of the first embodiment of this application is shown in a fully open state. Figure 4 The image shows the mop box 35 of the first embodiment of this application in a partially open state. Figure 5 The image shows the mop box 35 of the first embodiment of this application in a partially open state. Figure 6 The image shows the mop box 35 of the first embodiment of this application in its closed state. Further, in the first state, at least a portion of the disassembly part 33 extends into the protective cover 39 to conceal the disassembly part 33. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first saw tooth of the lower material handling component 25 faces upward and extends into the lower cover 44, that is, the first saw tooth faces the outside of the recycling space 37. Thus, the first saw tooth is hidden inside the lower cover 44. In this first state, the operator will not come into contact with the first saw tooth when cleaning the mop to be processed, and therefore will not be mechanically injured by the first saw tooth. Figure 3 As shown, the second sawtooth of the upper material-receiving component 26 faces upward and extends into the upper cover 41, that is, the second sawtooth faces outward from the recycling space 37. Thus, the second sawtooth is hidden inside the upper cover 41. In this first state, the operator will not come into contact with the first sawtooth when cleaning the mop to be treated, and therefore will not be mechanically injured by the first sawtooth. Further, in the second state, at least part of the disassembly part 33 extends out of the protective cover to remove the mop to be treated, and then recycles the mop to be treated into the recycling space 37. For example, as... Figure 6As shown, the first sawtooth of the lower picking component 25 faces to the right, that is, the first sawtooth faces the inside of the recycling space 37. At this time, the mop plate carrying the mop to be processed is driven into the recycling space 37 by an external power source. Then, the mop plate is driven to move in the opposite direction by the external power source, and the mop plate exits the recycling space 37. The first sawtooth of the lower picking component 25 hooks and pulls the mop to be processed on the mop plate, so as to pull the mop to be processed off the mop plate and recycle the mop to be processed into the recycling space 37. This facilitates the recycling of the mop to be processed by the mop box 35. Figure 6 As shown, the second sawtooth of the upper material-picking component 26 faces to the right, that is, the second sawtooth faces the inside of the recycling space 37. At this time, the mop plate with the mop to be processed is driven into the recycling space 37 by an external power. Then, the mop plate is driven to move in the opposite direction by an external power, and the mop plate exits the recycling space 37. The second sawtooth of the upper material-picking component 26 hooks and pulls the mop to be processed on the mop plate to pull it off the mop plate, thereby recycling the mop to be processed into the recycling space 37. This facilitates the recycling of the mop to be processed by the mop box 35.

[0051] In the first embodiment, the mop box structure further includes a rotatable flipping mechanism 46. Specifically, the flipping mechanism 46 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 11. Specifically, the flipping mechanism 46 is connected to the support frame 11 so that the flipping mechanism 46 rotates relative to the support frame 11. Further, the rotation of the flipping mechanism 46 drives the mop box 35 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the mop box 35, and thus allowing the mop box 35 to transition between the first state and the second state. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the mop box 35 is mounted on the flipping mechanism 46, which can rotate around the pivot 55. Therefore, the flipping mechanism 46 can drive the mop box 35 to rotate, thus opening or closing the mop box 35. Further, for example... Figure 12 As shown, the flipping mechanism 46 includes a base 49 and a door panel 47 located above the base 49. The base 49 is used to place the mop box 35. The door panel 47 is located on one side of the base 49.

[0052] Furthermore, one of the tilting mechanism 46 and the support frame 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 55, and the other is provided with a second shaft hole 57 for the rotating shaft 55 to extend into; the rotating shaft 55 can rotate within the second shaft hole 57, thereby allowing the tilting mechanism 46 to rotate relative to the support frame 11. For example, Figure 8 As shown, a pivot 55 is provided on the first lower plate 19. Figure 12 As shown, a second shaft hole 57 is provided on the base 49. The rotating shaft 55 can rotatably extend into the second shaft hole 57. In this way, the flipping mechanism 46 can rotate around the rotating shaft 55.

[0053] Furthermore, the mop box 35 is detachably mounted on the flipping mechanism 46. Specifically, one of the flipping mechanism 46 and the mop box 35 is provided with a slot 51, and the other is provided with a connector 53 for engaging with the slot 51. For example, Figure 12 As shown, a connector 53 is provided on the flipping mechanism 46. Specifically, a connector 53 is provided on the door panel 47. A slot 51 is provided on the mop box 35. The connector 53 is used to engage with the slot 51 to facilitate the installation or removal of the mop box 35 from the base 49. Thus, when it is necessary to clean the mop to be processed in the mop box 35, the connector 53 can be disengaged from the slot 51, thereby allowing the mop box 35 to detach from the base 49. When it is necessary to retrieve the mop to be processed through the mop box 35, the connector 53 can be engaged with the slot 51, thereby allowing the mop box 35 to be installed on the base 49, and the mop to be processed is guided into the recycling space 37 by the disassembly part 33 of the material handling mechanism 23.

[0054] Furthermore, the support frame 11 is provided with two sliding grooves. Specifically, the two sliding grooves are provided on the first lower plate 19. For example, Figure 8 As shown, the two chutes are a straight chute 99 and a bent chute arranged vertically. The bent chute includes a first chute segment 95 and a second chute segment 97 arranged at an angle. The straight chute 99 extends generally vertically. The first chute segment 95 is located on the side of the second chute segment 97 closest to the straight chute 99. The first chute segment 95 extends downward from the straight chute 99, and the second chute segment 97 extends upward from the end of the first chute segment 95 away from the straight chute 99. The straight chute 99 is located above the first chute segment 95. The straight chute 99 and the bent chute are not connected to each other. Of course, the straight chute 99 and the bent chute are not limited to being unconnected; they can also be connected to each other, which is not specified in this application. Further, the lower material receiving assembly 25 is provided with two protrusions corresponding to the two chutes. This correspondence can be that the number of chutes is equal to the number of protrusions and their positions are opposite. For example, Figure 10 As shown, the two protrusions are circular protrusions provided on the first rod body 79. These two circular protrusions are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Specifically, the two protrusions are a first protrusion 73 located above and a second protrusion 74 located below. Furthermore, the two protrusions extend into corresponding grooves. For example, as... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first protrusion 73 extends into the straight groove 99. The second protrusion 74 extends into the bent groove. Furthermore, the two protrusions can slide along their corresponding grooves, thereby driving the lower material handling assembly 25 to move. For example, as... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first protrusion 73 can slide along the straight groove 99. The second protrusion 74 can slide along the bent groove. Thus, when the first protrusion 73 and the second protrusion 74 slide simultaneously, the first protrusion 73 and the second protrusion 74 can drive the first frame 29 to rotate, thereby driving the first sawtooth to rotate.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the first state, the protrusion corresponding to the straight groove 99 is located at the bottom of the straight groove 99. The protrusion corresponding to the bent groove is located at the end of the bent groove away from the straight groove 99. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first protrusion 73 is located at the bottom of the straight groove 99. The second protrusion 74 is located at the end of the second groove segment 97 away from the first groove segment 95. In the second state, the protrusion corresponding to the straight groove 99 is located at the top of the straight groove 99. The protrusion corresponding to the bent groove is located at the end of the bent groove closer to the straight groove 99. Specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, the first protrusion 73 is located at the top of the straight groove 99. The second protrusion 74 is located at one end of the first groove segment 95 near the straight groove.

[0056] Furthermore, the support frame 11 is provided with a first shaft hole 59 and a rotating groove 63. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the first upper plate 16 is provided with a first shaft hole 59 and a rotating groove 63. The rotating groove 63 is arc-shaped. The first shaft hole 59 is approximately located at the center of the rotating groove 63. Further, the upper material handling assembly 26 is provided with a turntable 45 and a boss 43 that extend into the first shaft hole 59 and the rotating groove 63, respectively. For example, as... Figure 9 As shown, the turntable 45 and the boss 43 are circular protrusions respectively provided on the third rod body 83. These two circular protrusions are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the turntable 45 extends into the first shaft hole 59. The boss 43 extends into the rotating groove 63. Furthermore, the turntable 45 and the boss 43 can rotate and slide in the first shaft hole 59 and the rotating groove 63 respectively, thereby driving the upper material handling assembly 26 to rotate. For example... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the turntable 45 can rotate around the center of the first shaft hole 59. The boss 43 can slide along the extension direction of the rotating groove 63. Thus, when the turntable 45 and the boss 43 move simultaneously, the turntable 45 and the boss 43 can drive the second frame 31 to rotate, thereby driving the second sawtooth to rotate.

[0057] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 46 is used to move the lower picking assembly 25 when the mop box 35 is opened or closed; thereby allowing the disassembly part 33 on the lower picking assembly 25 to extend into the protective cover or recycling space 37. Specifically, as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a first connecting rod 89 is hinged to the door panel 47. The end of the first connecting rod 89 furthest from the door panel 47 is hinged to a second protrusion 74. Thus, when the flipping mechanism 46 rotates about the pivot 55 to open or close the mop box 35, the first connecting rod 89 can drive the second protrusion 74 to move along the bending groove, thereby allowing the second protrusion 74 to drive the first protrusion 73 to move along the straight groove 99 via the first frame 29. This, in turn, allows the first frame 29 to drive the first saw tooth to rotate and move vertically along the straight groove 99, allowing the first saw tooth to extend into the protective cover or the recycling space 37. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the mop box 35 is fully open, the second protrusion 74 is located at the end of the second groove 97 furthest from the first groove 95. The first protrusion 73 is located at the bottom of the straight groove 99. Figure 4 As shown, when the mop box 35 is in the partially open state, the second protrusion 74 is located at the end of the second groove 97 near the first groove 95. The first protrusion 73 is located at the bottom of the straight groove 99. That is, the mop box 35 rotates from the fully open state to the position shown in the diagram. Figure 4 During the process shown, the second protrusion 74 moves along the second groove segment 97; this in turn causes the first protrusion 73 to rotate at the bottom of the straight groove 99, thus causing the first frame 29 to rotate clockwise. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, when the mop box 35 rotates and is still in the partially open state, the second protrusion 74 is located in the middle of the first groove segment 95. The first protrusion 73 is located in the middle of the straight groove 99. That is, the mop box 35 rotates from the partially open state to the... Figure 5 During the partially opened state shown, the second protrusion 74 moves along the first groove segment 95; this, in turn, causes the second protrusion 74 to move upward along the straight groove 99, thus causing the first frame 29 to continue rotating clockwise. Further, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the mop box 35 rotates to the second state, the second protrusion 74 is located at the end of the first groove segment 95 near the straight groove 99. The first protrusion 73 is located at the top of the straight groove 99. That is, during the process of the mop box 35 rotating from the partially open state to the second state, the second protrusion 74 moves along the first groove segment 95; thereby driving the second protrusion 74 to move upward along the straight groove 99, so that the first frame 29 continues to rotate clockwise until the first sawtooth extends out of the lower cover 44 and into the recycling space 37.

[0058] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 46 is used to rotate the upper material handling assembly 26 when the mop box 35 is opened or closed; thereby allowing the disassembly part 33 on the upper material handling assembly 26 to extend into the protective cover or the recycling space 37. Specifically, the mop box 35 is provided with a groove 69 for sliding engagement with the upper material handling assembly 26. For example, Figure 11 As shown, the groove 69 is provided on the outer wall of the upper end of the mop box 35. The groove 69 is an inclined groove. Further, the groove 69 is used to rotate the upper material-retrieving assembly 26 when the mop box 35 is opened or closed, so that the disassembly part 33 on the upper material-retrieving assembly 26 can extend into the protective cover or the recycling space 37. Specifically, the upper material-retrieving assembly 26 is provided with a traction part 93 for extending into the groove 69. This traction part 93 can move along the groove 69 when the mop box 35 rotates, thereby driving the upper material-retrieving assembly 26 to rotate. More specifically, the second frame 31 has a traction part 93 for extending into the groove 69 on the side away from the support frame 11. For example, as... Figure 9As shown, the traction unit 93 is a traction frustum mounted on the first rod 79. Thus, when the traction frustum moves along the groove 69, the second frame 31 can rotate. Further, for example, as... Figure 3 As shown, when the mop box 35 is in the fully open state, the groove 69 is disengaged from the traction frustum. Therefore, rotation of the mop box 35 will not cause rotation of the upper guide assembly. Furthermore, the groove 69 remains disengaged from the traction frustum. Therefore, rotation of the mop box 35 will not cause rotation of the upper guide assembly. That is, the mop box 35 rotates from the fully open state to the... Figure 4 During the process shown, the rotation of the mop box 35 will not cause the upper guide assembly to rotate. Furthermore, as... Figure 5 As shown, when the mop box 35 rotates and is still in the partially open state, the traction frustum enters the groove 69 and is located at the upper end of the groove 69. Simultaneously, the turntable 45 is located at the upper end of the rotating groove 63. Figure 6 As shown, when the mop box 35 rotates to the second state, the traction platform is located at the lower end of the groove 69, and the turntable 45 is located at the lower end of the rotating groove 63. That is, during the process of the mop box 35 rotating from the partially open state to the second state, the traction platform moves along the groove 69; thereby driving the second frame 31 to rotate clockwise, causing the boss 43 on the second frame 31 to rotate along the rotating groove 63, and causing the turntable 45 to rotate around the first shaft hole 59; thereby the second sawtooth extends out of the upper cover 41 and into the recycling space 37.

[0059] Furthermore, the support frame 11 is provided with a limiting groove 75. For example, as Figure 8 As shown, a limiting groove 75 is provided on the first lower plate 19. This limiting groove 75 extends in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 46 is provided with a sliding member 77 for extending into the limiting groove 75. For example, as... Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a second connecting rod 91 is hinged to the door panel 47. A sliding member 77 is provided at the end of the second connecting rod 91 away from the door panel 47. This sliding member 77 extends into a limiting groove 75. Furthermore, the sliding member 77 can move along the limiting groove 75, thereby opening or closing the mop box 35, and restricting the rotation of the flipping mechanism 46 when the mop box 35 is open. Thus, the limiting groove 75 can limit the rotation of the flipping mechanism 46 and allow the flipping mechanism 46 to withstand greater tensile force. Specifically, for example... Figure 6 As shown, when the mop box 35 is in the second state, the slider 77 is located to the left of the limiting groove 75. Figure 5 As shown, when the mop box 35 is in the partially open state as shown, the slider 77 is located in the middle of the limiting groove 75. Figure 4 As shown, when the mop box 35 is in the position as Figure 4 When partially open as shown, the slider 77 is located to the right of the limiting groove 75. (As shown) Figure 3As shown, when the mop box 35 is fully open, the slider 77 is located at the right end of the limiting groove 75. That is, when the flipping mechanism 46 rotates around the pivot 55 to open the mop box 35, the slider 77 moves to the right along the limiting groove 75 until the mop box 35 is fully open, at which point the slider 77 is located at the right end of the limiting groove 75. In this way, the right end of the limiting groove 75 can limit the slider 77 to restrict the rotation of the flipping mechanism 46 when the mop box 35 is fully open.

[0060] In the second embodiment, the mop box structure further includes a support frame 11. This support frame 11 supports at least one of the mop box 35, the protective cover 39, and the sliding mechanism. Further, the support frame 11 includes a first bracket 12 and a second bracket 14 disposed opposite to each other, and a third bracket 17 located on one side of the first bracket 12 and the second bracket 14. For example, as... Figure 14 As shown, the first support 12 is a vertically arranged first plate. The second support 14 includes a second fixing plate 142 and a first fixing plate 141 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. Further, a protective cover 39 is fixed between the first support 12 and the second support 14. Specifically, for example... Figure 14 As shown, the protective cover 39 is fixed between the first bracket 12 and the second fixing plate 142. This fixing method can be screw fixing, bolt fixing, welding fixing, or integral molding fixing, etc. Furthermore, the protective cover 39 is open downwards so that the disassembly part 33 below the protective cover 39 can extend into the protective cover 39.

[0061] In the second embodiment, the mop box structure further includes a sliding mechanism. Specifically, the sliding mechanism is connected to the support frame 11 and can slide relative to the support frame 11 from a first position to a second position. Further, the sliding mechanism drives the mop box 35 to slide between the first and second positions, thereby causing the mop box 35 to transition between the first and second states.

[0062] Furthermore, the mop container 35 has an opening 87. The opening 87 allows untreated mops outside the mop container 35 to pass through. Furthermore, the mop container 35 also has a recycling space 37. This recycling space 37 opens upwards. The opening 87 communicates with the recycling space 37. Specifically, as... Figure 16 As shown, the mop holder 35 includes a lower surface and side surfaces surrounding the lower surface. An opening 87 is located at the top of the mop holder 35. The upper surface, lower surface, and side surfaces form a recovery space 37. Thus, the disassembly part 33 can pull the mop to be processed downwards through the opening 87 and recover it into the recovery space 37 of the mop holder 35. Further, as... Figure 16 As shown, the mop container 35 includes a handle 24 and a container body 30. The handle 24 is used for gripping. The container body 30 is used for recycling the mop to be processed. Furthermore, the handle 24 and the container body 30 are integrally formed.

[0063] Furthermore, the material-grabbing mechanism 23 includes a material-grabbing component. The material-grabbing component is disposed at at least one end of the opening 87. A disassembly part 33 is disposed on the material-grabbing component. A sliding mechanism is used to drive the material-grabbing component from a first position to a second position, thereby allowing the disassembly part 33 on the material-grabbing component to extend into the protective cover 39 and extend out of the protective cover 39 to remove the mop to be processed. Specifically, the material-grabbing mechanism 23 also includes a support base 20. The material-grabbing component is mounted on the support base 20. More specifically, as... Figure 15 As shown, the support base 20 includes a base plate 76 and a first side plate 78, a second side plate 48, and a third side plate 50 disposed on the base plate 76. The first side plate 78 and the second side plate 48 are disposed opposite each other. More specifically, the first side plate 78 faces the first bracket 12. The second side plate 48 faces the second bracket 14. The base plate 76, the first side plate 78, the second side plate 48, and the third side plate 50 form a cavity having a first opening 40 and a second opening 42. The first opening 40 opens upward. The second opening 42 opens to the left. The second opening 42 is used for the mop box 35 to pass through, so that the mop box 35 can enter the cavity. The first opening 40 is used for the disassembly part 33 to pull the mop to be treated downward and retract it into the mop box 35. Further, the mop box 35 is disposed on the support base 20. Specifically, the mop box is disposed in the cavity. Further, a connecting plate 52 is disposed between the upper ends of the first side plate 78 and the second side plate 48. The top surface of the connecting plate 52 has a downwardly recessed mounting groove 60. The material-grabbing assembly is a robotic arm fixed to the mounting groove 60. The disassembly part 33 is a serrated part located at the end of the robotic arm. Furthermore, the material-grabbing assembly is locked to the connecting plate 52 with screws. A reinforcing plate is fixed to each side of the connecting plate 52. The reinforcing plate is used to strengthen the structural strength of the support base 20, thereby preventing damage to the support base 20 during the process of the disassembly part 33 pulling the mop to be processed downwards into the recycling space. Furthermore, there are two connecting plates 52. The two connecting plates 52 are arranged opposite each other. Furthermore, the support base 20 is located below the protective cover 39. This allows the disassembly part 33 to extend into the protective cover 39 for concealment.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 As shown, the sliding mechanism includes a slide rail 22 disposed on the support base 20. Specifically, a slide rail 22 is fixed on the first side plate 78 and the second side plate 48 respectively. Specifically, a track seat 38 for mounting the slide rail 22 is disposed on the first side plate 78 and the second side plate 48 respectively. Further, the slide rail 22 is fixed to the track seat 38. This fixing method can be screw fixing, bolt fixing, welding fixing, or integral molding fixing, etc. Further, the slide rail 22 is slidably engaged with the support frame 11, so that the support base 20 can slide relative to the support frame 11, thereby allowing the mop box 35 to switch between the first state and the second state. Please refer to... Figure 18 and Figure 19 , Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the mop box 35 in the first state provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of the mop box 35 in its second state according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When it is necessary to clean the mop cloths inside the mop box 35, simply move the support base 20 via the slide rail 22 to bring the mop box 35 to its first state. This allows the disassembly part 33 to be hidden by the protective cover 39, thus preventing mechanical injury to the operator from the disassembly part 33 when cleaning the mop cloths. When it is necessary to use the mop box 35 to retrieve the mop cloths, simply move the support base 20 via the slide rail 22 to bring the mop box 35 to its second state, thus retrieving the mop cloths into the retrieval space 37. This facilitates the retrieval of the mop cloths from the mop box 35.

[0065] Furthermore, the first bracket 12 and the second bracket 14 are each provided with a protruding strip 58 for sliding engagement with the slide rail 22. The two slide rails 22 correspond to the two protruding strips 58. Each slide rail 22 slides along its corresponding protruding strip 58. That is, the slide rail 22 can slide along its corresponding protruding strip 58, thereby driving the support base 20 to slide. Specifically, for example... Figure 17 As shown, a raised strip 58 is provided on the first bracket 12. This raised strip 58 corresponds to the slide rail 22 on the first side plate 78. The raised strip 58 and the slide rail 22 on the first side plate 78 are in slidable engagement. A raised strip 58 is provided on the side of the first fixing plate 141 facing the second side plate 48. This raised strip 58 corresponds to the slide rail 22 on the first fixing plate 141. The raised strip 58 and the slide rail 22 on the first fixing plate 141 are in slidable engagement.

[0066] Furthermore, a first magnet is provided on the support base 20, and a second magnet is provided on the mop box 35. When the first magnet and the second magnet come into contact, the mop box 35 is fixed to the support base 20. In this way, the support base 20 can move the mop box 35 and switch between the first state and the second state. Furthermore, when the first magnet and the second magnet are separated, the mop box 35 is separated from the support base 20, and the mop box 35 can be cleaned. Specifically, when the mop box 35 is in the first state, the disassembly part 33 extends into the protective cover 39. At this time, the operator can pull the handle 24 of the mop box 35 outward to separate the second magnet on the mop box 35 from the first magnet on the support base 20, and then remove the mop box 35 from the cavity of the support base 20, so that the mop to be treated can be removed from the mop box 35. In this way, the disassembly part 33 can be hidden by the protective cover 39, thereby preventing the operator from being mechanically injured by the disassembly part 33 when cleaning the mop to be treated.

[0067] Furthermore, the support 20 can move toward the third bracket 17 to transition from the first state to the second state. For example... Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, when the support base 20 moves toward the third bracket 17, it can transition from the first state to the second state. When the support base 20 moves away from the third bracket 17, it can transition from the second state to the first state.

[0068] Furthermore, a position detection device 32 is provided on the third support 17. Specifically, the position detection device 32 can be a micro switch. Further, a pressing part 34 is provided on the support base 20. The support base 20 can move toward the third support 17 until the pressing part 34 contacts the position detection device 32. For example, as shown in the figure, the pressing part 34 is a limiting protrusion provided on the track seat 38. This limiting protrusion is used to abut against the micro switch to activate it, thereby causing the micro switch to issue a prompt signal indicating that the support base 20 has moved into position. This prompt signal can be an audible signal, a light signal, etc., which is not specified in this application. Thus, the movement of the support base 20 can be stopped based on this prompt signal.

[0069] Furthermore, a first sensor is also provided on the mop box 35. Specifically, the first sensor can be a Hall sensor. Furthermore, a second sensor 36 is also provided on the first bracket 12. Specifically, the second sensor 36 can be an optocoupler sensor. Furthermore, the support base 20 can move away from the third bracket 17 until the first sensor and the second sensor 36 come into contact. Thus, when the first sensor and the second sensor 36 come into contact, the support base 20 stops moving, thereby enabling the cleaning of the mop to be treated in the mop box 35.
