[0027] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Embodiment

[0029] This embodiment provides a water surface cleaning machine. Referring to Figure 1 as shown, it includes a housing, a power device, and a cleaning device. A garbage storage cavity is formed inside the housing. The power device can be an impeller 1, and the impeller 1 is installed on the housing to drive the housing to move in a first direction. One end of the housing is provided with a garbage inlet 2, and the opening of the garbage inlet 2 faces the first direction. A cleaning device is installed at the garbage inlet 2. When the impeller 1 drives the housing to move in the first direction, the floating objects enter the garbage storage cavity through the garbage inlet 2 under the action of the cleaning device. It should be added that garbage inlets 2 can also be respectively provided at both ends of the housing, so that the openings of the garbage inlets 2 face or deviate from the first direction. Cleaning devices are respectively installed at each garbage inlet 2, so that the impeller 1 can move in the reverse direction of the first direction when it rotates reversely, so that floating objects can be collected during both the forward and backward processes.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 3As shown, the cleaning device includes an anti-leakage baffle 3, a rolling element 4 and a driving motor 5. One side of the anti-leakage baffle 3 is hinged to the top of the garbage inlet 2 through a first rotating shaft 6, and can rotate around the first rotating shaft 6 as an axis. The rolling element 4 is rotatably installed in the garbage storage cavity and close to the garbage inlet 2 through a second rotating shaft 7, and a plurality of blades are installed on the surface of the rolling element 4. The driving motor 5 is installed on the housing and connected to the second rotating shaft 7, driving the second rotating shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the rolling element 4 to rotate, so that when collecting floating objects, the floating objects are pushed into the garbage storage cavity by the blades. The driving motor 5 is also connected to a transmission assembly, which is connected to the first rotating shaft 6, and drives the anti-leakage baffle 3 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 6 to block the garbage inlet 2 to prevent garbage from overflowing.

[0031] The present embodiment provides a water surface cleaning machine, which opens the anti-leakage baffle 3 during the process of collecting floating objects, so that the floating objects enter the garbage storage chamber under the movement of the rolling member 4. At this time, the floating objects are difficult to overflow from the garbage inlet 2 under the action of the water flow. When the collection is stopped, the anti-leakage baffle 3 is used to cover the garbage inlet 2 to prevent the floating objects from overflowing, so that the design size of the garbage inlet 2 can be expanded as much as possible, thereby ensuring the collection efficiency while preventing the floating objects from overflowing again.

[0032] As a further improvement of this embodiment, the transmission assembly only drives the anti-leakage baffle 3 to rotate in the direction of shielding the garbage inlet 2, and makes the rotation direction of the rolling element 4 the same as that of the anti-leakage baffle 3. Specifically, the transmission assembly includes at least two structural forms.

[0033] In the first embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a driving gear 8, an intermediate gear 9, a driven gear 10 and a one-way bearing 11; the driving gear 8 is connected to the driving motor 5, the intermediate gear 9 is meshed with the driving gear 8, and the driven gear 10 is meshed with the intermediate gear 9, so that the rotation directions of the driving gear 8 and the driven gear 10 are consistent; the driven gear 10 is connected to the first rotating shaft 6, and the first rotating shaft 6 is connected to the anti-leakage baffle 3 through the one-way bearing 11, and only drives the anti-leakage baffle 3 to rotate in the direction of blocking the garbage inlet 2.

[0034] In the second embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a driving gear 8, an intermediate gear 9, a driven gear 10 and a one-way bearing 11; the driving gear 8 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 5, the intermediate gear 9 is meshed with the driving gear 8, the driven gear 10 is meshed with the intermediate gear 9, and the driven gear 10 is connected to the first rotating shaft 6 through the one-way bearing 11, so that the first rotating shaft 6 is connected to the anti-leakage baffle 3, and only drives the anti-leakage baffle 3 to rotate in the direction of blocking the garbage inlet 2.

[0035] In the above first embodiment and second embodiment, the number of the intermediate gears 9 is odd, so that the driving directions of the driving gear 8 and the driven gear 10 are the same. In addition, a touch switch 12 is provided on the side of the garbage inlet 2, and a switch trigger portion 13 is provided on the anti-leakage baffle 3. During the process of using the anti-leakage baffle 3 to block the garbage inlet 2, when the touch switch 12 is triggered, the driving motor 5 stops rotating. The garbage inlet 2 is inclined toward the outside of the machine shell, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is in an inclined state.

[0036] When the driving motor 5 rotates forward, the driving rolling body rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the floating objects are dialed into the garbage storage cavity, and the one-way bearing 11 is in a slipping state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is in an open state under the action of gravity. When the driving motor 5 rotates reversely, the driving rolling body rotates clockwise. At this time, the one-way bearing 11 is in a transmission state, and the anti-leakage baffle 3 is driven to rotate to block the garbage inlet 2.

[0037] In the process of collecting floating objects, the water surface cleaning machine provided by this embodiment drives the rolling member 4 to rotate forward by the driving motor 5 for collecting floating objects. At this time, the one-way bearing 11 switches to a slipping state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is opened under the action of gravity. When the collection stops, the driving motor 5 drives the rolling member 4 to rotate reversely. At this time, the one-way bearing 11 switches to a transmission state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 rotates accordingly to block the garbage inlet 2, preventing the floating objects from overflowing; only one motor is used to control the rolling member 4 and the anti-leakage baffle 3, which can reduce the volume of the water surface cleaning machine and lower the cost.

[0038] As a further improvement of this embodiment, the machine shell includes a main body shell and a garbage box 17. The main body shell includes a top plate 15 and the sides on both sides of the top plate 15, so that an installation groove is formed in the middle of the main body shell; the garbage is inserted into this installation groove, so that the side wall 16 extends outward toward the outside of the garbage inlet 2 to form a garbage gathering area 18. During the process of collecting floating objects, it can guide the floating objects to gather in the garbage gathering area 18, and collect the floating objects better.

[0039] As a further improvement of this embodiment, a limiting portion 14 is further provided on the machine shell. Specifically, the limiting portion 14 can be provided on the main body shell or on the garbage box 17. After the anti-leakage baffle 3 is opened under the action of gravity, it abuts against the limiting portion 14, and the state that the end of the anti-leakage baffle 3 far from the garbage inlet 2 is inclined downward is presented. When the anti-leakage baffle 3 abuts against the limiting portion 14, the included angle between the anti-leakage baffle 3 and the horizontal plane is 15° to 40°. On the one hand, it can reduce the resistance during the movement of the water surface cleaning machine, and on the other hand, it can guide the floating objects and improve the collection efficiency.

[0040] As a further improvement of this embodiment, the cleaning device is installed on the garbage box 17, and the garbage box 17 is detachably connected to the main body housing. Specifically, it can be set as a drawer structure or the like. When cleaning the water surface cleaning machine, the garbage box 17 can be directly pulled out without being stuck by the transmission structure of the cleaning device, making it more convenient to use.

[0041] Specifically, the bottom of the garbage box 17 is hollowed out so that water flows out from the hollow position.

[0042] Practical process: Place the water surface cleaning machine on the water surface, and use the impeller 1 to drive it to move in the first direction. At this time, the drive motor 5 rotates forward, causing the rolling body to rotate counterclockwise in the direction of the water flow. At this time, the one-way bearing 11 is in a slipping state, and the anti-leakage baffle 3 opens under the action of gravity, and the rolling body rotates counterclockwise to dial the garbage into the garbage storage cavity; when the collection stops, the drive motor 5 rotates reversely, causing the rolling body to rotate clockwise. At this time, the one-way bearing 11 is in a transmission state, driving the anti-leakage baffle 3 to rotate to block the garbage inlet 2.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
