Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic cleaning, and particularly to a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy and the progress of society, people's requirements for the quality of life are getting higher and higher. Therefore, some intelligent appliances that can liberate human hands have emerged as the times require. Among them, as a kind of intelligent household appliance, the cleaning robot plays an increasingly important role in people's daily life.

[0003] The cleaning robot can automatically walk to perform cleaning work. However, for the situation where there is a large pool of water stains on the ground, one cleaning method is that the cleaning robot first sweeps the water stains into the floating shell and the dust box, and then dries the ground. Another cleaning method is that in order to avoid wetting the dust box, the user is forced to set areas such as the toilet where large pools of water stains are likely to exist as restricted areas. However, in this way, the cleaning robot cannot clean restricted areas such as the toilet, and the cleaning range is limited. Therefore, the traditional cleaning method for large pools of water stains will either wet the dust box or limit the cleaning range. Summary of the Invention

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "joined", "fixed", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited.

[0034] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation manner.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present application, a cleaning device 100 is provided, which includes a housing (not shown in the figure), a roller brush mechanism 30 and a driving mechanism 50. The housing has a cleaning opening. The roller brush mechanism 30 is disposed in the housing so as to be liftable corresponding to the cleaning opening, and the roller brush mechanism 30 lowered to the cleaning opening can be used for floor cleaning. And, the driving mechanism 50 is disposed in the housing and can be in transmission connection with the roller brush mechanism 30 to drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to lift and swing in the housing in directions away from and close to the cleaning opening. Wherein, the cleaning opening is an opening for exposing the roller brush mechanism 30, and the cleaning device 100 allows the garbage on the ground to be cleaned by the roller brush mechanism 30 through the cleaning opening.

[0036] In this way, by arranging the driving mechanism 50 in the cleaning device 100, the roller brush mechanism 30 can be actively driven to move up and down in the directions close to and away from the cleaning port. When the cleaning device 100 moves to a large pool of water stains, in order to prevent the roller brush mechanism 30 from being wetted, the driving mechanism 50 can drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to rise, avoiding the water stains on the ground, preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from sucking the water stains into the dust box and wetting the dust box. At the same time, the cleaning device 100 can continue to move in the water stain area to dry the water stains with the mop, realizing the cleaning of the water stain area, without setting the water stain area as a no-go area for walking, and the cleaning area of the cleaning device 100 will not be limited. In this way, it can prevent the large pool of water stains on the ground from wetting the dust box and generating peculiar smell, and also make the cleaning range not limited.

[0037] In addition, the roller brush mechanism 30 is arranged in the housing in a liftable manner. When the cleaning device 100 encounters an obstacle during walking, the roller brush mechanism 30 can adaptively rise under the action of the obstacle, making the walking of the cleaning device 100 smoother.

[0038] Refer to Figures 2 - 4 , in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 50 has a transmission state and an avoidance state. In the transmission state, the driving mechanism 50 is in transmission connection with the roller brush mechanism 30 and drives the roller brush mechanism 30 to move up and down; for example, when encountering a large pool of water stains, the driving mechanism 50 is switched to the transmission state to drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to move up and down, preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from contacting the water stains, and further preventing the dust box from being wetted. In the avoidance state, the driving mechanism 50 is separated from the roller brush mechanism 30; for example, after the cleaning mechanism crosses a large pool of water stains, the driving mechanism 50 is switched to the avoidance state, separating the driving mechanism 50 from the roller brush mechanism 30. In this way, when the roller brush mechanism 30 adaptively moves up and down when encountering an obstacle, it will not collide with the driving mechanism 50, and further prevent noise generation.

[0039] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 50 includes a driving member 52 and a transmission assembly 54. The driving member 52 drives the transmission assembly 54 to swing in the directions close to and away from the cleaning port, and drives the roller brush mechanism 30 to move up and down. In this way, when the driving member 52 works, it drives the transmission assembly 54 to swing in the directions close to and away from the cleaning port, and then drives the roller brush mechanism 30 to approach and move away from the cleaning port through the swinging transmission assembly 54 to control the lifting of the roller brush mechanism 30.

[0040] Further, the transmission assembly 54 has a support surface 541 that can abut against the roller brush mechanism 30. When the transmission assembly 54 swings under the drive of the driving member 52, the support surface 541 moves in the directions close to and away from the cleaning port and remains parallel to the plane where the cleaning port is located. When the cleaning device 100 works, the cleaning port on the housing faces the ground and remains in a horizontal direction parallel to the ground to allow the garbage on the ground to be cleaned by the roller brush at the cleaning port, where the plane where the cleaning port is located is the horizontal plane when the cleaning device 100 is placed on the ground.

[0041] In this way, through the cooperation of the support surface 541 of the transmission assembly 54 and the roller brush mechanism 30, the roller brush mechanism 30 is driven to lift, and during the driving process, the support surface 541 of the transmission assembly 54 always remains parallel to the plane where the cleaning port is located. Furthermore, the roller brush mechanism 30 supported by the transmission assembly 54 is kept horizontal. In this way, the roller brush mechanism 30 will not tilt during the lifting process, preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from contacting the water stains on the ground due to tilting.

[0042] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 54 includes a driving swing arm 542 and a driven swing arm 546. The driving swing arm 542 is connected to the driving member 52, and the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 are in transmission connection. Driven by the driving member 52, the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 swing in the directions of approaching and separating from each other, and a support surface 541 for lifting relative to the cleaning port is formed. That is to say, under the action of the driving member 52, when the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 swing in the direction of approaching each other, the support surface 541 moves away from the cleaning port, thereby pushing the roller brush mechanism 30 to rise; when the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 swing in the direction of separating from each other, the support surface 541 moves closer to the cleaning port, thereby causing the roller brush mechanism 30 to descend.

[0043] Specifically, the driving swing arm 542 includes a first transmission end 543 and a first free end 545 arranged oppositely, and the driven swing arm 546 includes a second transmission end 547 and a second free end 548 arranged oppositely. The first transmission end 543 is connected to the driving member 52. The first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547 are rotatably arranged and meshed with each other for transmission. The first free end 545 and the second free end 548 swing synchronously in the directions of approaching and separating from the cleaning port, that is, the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 swing in the directions of approaching and separating from each other.

[0044] Moreover, the plane where the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are located is the support surface 541. In this way, when the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 swing synchronously in the direction of separating from the cleaning port, the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 approach each other, and the support surface 541 formed by the plane where the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are located gradually moves away from the cleaning port, thereby pushing the roller brush mechanism 30 to rise through the first free end 545 and the second free end 548. When the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 swing synchronously in the direction of approaching the cleaning port, the driving swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 separate from each other, and the support surface 541 formed by the plane where the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are located gradually moves closer to the cleaning port, allowing the roller brush mechanism 30 supported by the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 to descend.

[0045] Optionally, the transmission ratio between the first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547 is 1:1, that is, gears meshing with each other are provided on the first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547, and the circular tops of the gears on both are the same, thereby ensuring that the transmission ratio between the first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547 is 1:1, making the swinging angles of the active swing arm 542 and the driven swing arm 546 the same, so that the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are always at the same height, keeping the support surface 541 horizontal.

[0046] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 50 further includes a bracket assembly 70 mounted on the housing. The driving member 52 is fixed to the bracket assembly 70. The first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547 are rotatably arranged on the bracket assembly 70. The first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are both exposed relative to the bracket assembly 70. Thus, the driving member 52 and the transmission assembly 54 are mounted by the bracket assembly 70, and the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 of the transmission assembly 54 are relatively exposed, so as to be able to abut against the roller brush mechanism 30 to drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to lift.

[0047] Further, the bracket assembly 70 includes a mounting member 72 and a fixing member 74. The mounting member 72 is assembled on the housing. The driving member 52 is fixed to the mounting member 72. The active swing arm 542 is sleeved on the output shaft of the driving member 52. The driven swing arm 546 and the active swing arm 542 are arranged on the same side of the mounting member 72 and are rotatably arranged on the mounting member 72. The fixing member 74 covers the outside of the first transmission end 543 and the second transmission end 547 and is engaged with the mounting member 72, so as to mount the driving member 52 and the transmission assembly 54 on the bracket assembly 70. And, the first transmission end 543 is rotatably mounted on the fixing member 74, further ensuring the smooth rotation of the first transmission end 543.

[0048] In some embodiments, the roller brush mechanism 30 includes a floating housing 32. The floating housing 32 has a body 321 and a mating portion 323 protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the body 321. The mating portion 323 is located on the side of the support surface 541 away from the cleaning port, that is, on the side of the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 away from the cleaning port, and the support surface 541 swings to abut against or separate from the mating portion 323. Thus, during the swinging process of the support surface 541 formed by the first free end 545 and the second free end 548, it can contact the mating portion 323, thereby driving the floating housing 32 and the entire roller brush mechanism 30 to lift.

[0049] In addition, at the initial stage when the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 swing towards the cleaning port, the driving mechanism 50 is in a transmission state, allowing the roller brush mechanism 30 to synchronously descend until the roller brush mechanism 30 descends to the limit position and is blocked by a limit to remain stationary. Then, the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 can continue to swing towards the cleaning port, causing the driving mechanism 50 to switch to an avoidance state. At this time, the first free end 545 and the second free end 548 are separated from the stationary roller brush mechanism 30, thereby preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from colliding with the first free end 545 or the second free end 548 when floating under the action of an external obstacle and preventing the generation of collision noise.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the roller brush mechanism 30 is lifted and lowered under the drive of the driving mechanism 50, the axis of the roller brush mechanism 30 always remains parallel to the plane where the cleaning port is located, that is, the axis of the roller brush inside the roller brush mechanism 30 always remains horizontal, preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from being wetted by the water stains on the ground due to inclination.

[0051] Furthermore, the cleaning device 100 further includes a first link assembly 82 and a second link assembly 84, which are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the roller brush mechanism 30 along its own axis; wherein, one end of the first link assembly 82 is hinged to the roller brush mechanism 30, and the other end is hinged to the housing, and they form a parallelogram link mechanism; one end of the second link assembly 84 is hinged to the roller brush mechanism 30, and the other end is hinged to the housing, and they form another parallelogram link mechanism. In this way, the roller brush mechanism 30 is hinged to the housing through two parallelogram link mechanisms located on both sides of its own axis. The roller brush mechanism 30 as a whole is equivalent to a side of the parallelogram link mechanism and can remain horizontal when subjected to an upward thrust, which can further prevent the roller brush mechanism 30 from tilting during the lifting and lowering process and coming into contact with the water stains on the ground.

[0052] Specifically, the first link assembly 82 includes two first links 821 arranged in parallel at intervals. One end of each first link 821 is hinged to the roller brush mechanism 30, and the other end is hinged to the housing. In this way, a parallelogram link mechanism is formed by the two first links 821, the housing, and the roller brush mechanism 30. The second link assembly 84 includes two second links 841 arranged in parallel at intervals. One end of each second link 841 is hinged to the roller brush mechanism 30, and the other end is hinged to the housing. In this way, another parallelogram link mechanism is formed by the two second links 841, the housing, and the roller brush mechanism 30. In this way, the roller brush mechanism 30 is connected to the housing through two parallelogram link mechanisms, and the roller brush mechanism 30 can always remain horizontal during the lifting and lowering process. Optionally, the first link 821 and the second link 841 have the same size, so that the two parallelogram link mechanisms on both sides have the same size, ensuring that the roller brush mechanism 30 is in a horizontal position.

[0053] A driving mechanism 50 is provided in the above-mentioned cleaning device 100, which can actively drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to lift in the directions of approaching and departing from the cleaning port. When the cleaning device 100 walks to a large puddle of water stains, in order to prevent the roller brush mechanism 30 from being wetted, the driving mechanism 50 can drive the roller brush mechanism 30 to rise, avoiding the water stains on the ground, preventing the roller brush mechanism 30 from sucking the water stains into the dust box and wetting the dust box. At the same time, the cleaning device 100 can continue to walk in the water stain area to dry the water stains with the mop, realizing the cleaning of the water stain area, without setting the water stain area as a walking restricted area, and the cleaning area of the cleaning device 100 will not be limited. In this way, it can prevent the large puddle of water stains on the ground from wetting the dust box and generating peculiar smell, and can also make the cleaning range unrestricted.

[0054] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0055] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
