[0055] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0056] The cleaning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to Figures 1-4 The cleaning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to

[0057] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the cleaning device 100 includes the machine body shell 200, the fan lower shell 300, and the fan 400.

[0058] The casing 200 defines the main air duct 210. A cleaning component 110 is installed at the lower end of the casing 200. The lower end of the main air duct 210 is connected to the air inlet of the cleaning component 110. The cleaning component 110 cleans the surface of the object, and the main air duct 210 provides negative pressure to suck away and recycle dust, hair, and sewage. The cleaning component 110 can be a floor brush component or a vacuuming component, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0059] The lower casing 300 of the fan is disposed on the body casing 200 and defines a first air inlet 311 and a first air duct 330. The first air inlet 311 is connected to the main air duct 210. The lower casing 300 is used to install the fan 400. The lower casing 300 is provided with the first air inlet 311, which is connected to the upper end of the main air duct 210. The lower casing 300 also defines the first air duct 330, which is used to discharge the dirt sucked up by the main air duct 210 into the collection device of the cleaning equipment 100.

[0060] In one example, the lower casing 300 of the fan can be fixedly connected to the casing 200.

[0061] In another example, the lower casing 300 of the fan can be fixedly connected to the main air duct 210 inside the casing 200.

[0062] A fan 400 is installed on the lower casing 300, with its first intake port 410 connected to the first air inlet 311 and its first outlet port 420 connected to the inlet of the first air duct 330. The fan 400 is fixedly mounted on the lower casing 300. The fan 400 creates negative pressure, which is then supplied to the main air duct 210 through the first intake port 410 and the first air inlet 311 to draw out contaminants. The first outlet port 420 is connected to the inlet of the first air duct 330, allowing the contaminants drawn up by the fan 400 to be transported through the outlet port 420 into the first air duct 330 for discharge from the fan 400 and the lower casing 300.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the axis of the fan 400 forms an acute angle with the axis of the main air duct 210. By setting the angle γ between the axis of the fan 400 and the axis of the main air duct 210 to an acute angle, the airflow entering the fan 400 through the main air duct 210 forms a certain angle with the channel inside the fan 400. Compared with the airflow entering the fan perpendicularly through the main air duct in related technologies, in this embodiment, the airflow in the main air duct 210 forms an acute angle with the axis of the fan 400, resulting in a smoother trajectory for the airflow entering and exiting the fan 400.

[0064] And, the axis of the fan 400 is also arranged at an acute angle with the axis of the fuselage shell 200, which can optimize the installation space inside the fuselage shell 200. The gap between the fan lower shell 300 and the fuselage shell 200 can be used to install a circuit board and other control elements, which simplifies the installation space and makes the device smaller.

[0065] In actual implementation, the axis of the fan 400 is arranged at an acute angle with the axis of the main air duct 210. When installed, the installation structure can be more compact in cooperation with the installation position of the internal elements of the fuselage shell 200, which simplifies the installation space and occupies less space. Moreover, because the axis of the fan 400 is arranged at an acute angle with the axis of the main air duct 210, the airflow in the main air duct 210 enters the fan 400 through the first air inlet 311 and the first air suction port 410, and the airflow path of the airflow out of the fan 400 through the first air suction port 410 is arc-shaped, which makes the air path smoother, reduces the resistance of the airflow, and lowers the noise of the airflow.

[0066] According to the cleaning device 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the first air suction port 410 is communicated with the first air inlet 311 and the main air duct 210, so that the fan 400 can suck dirt through the main air duct 210 to realize the dirt suction function. By arranging the axis of the fan 400 at an acute angle with the axis of the main air duct 210, the airflow can be smoothly passed, the air resistance is reduced, and the noise is lowered while the installation space is simplified.

[0067] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the cross-sectional size of the first air inlet 311 is gradually increased in the direction close to the main air duct to improve the suction power of the fan 400. To facilitate the connection of the first air inlet 311 with the main air duct 210 and the first air suction port 410, the cross-sectional size of the end of the first air inlet 311 connected with the main air duct 210 is the same as the cross-sectional size of the main air duct 210, and the cross-sectional size of the end of the first air inlet 311 connected with the first air suction port 410 is the same as the cross-sectional size of the first air suction port 410. The central axes of the two cross sections of the first air inlet 311 can be coaxial or non-coaxial, which is arranged according to the actual installation condition.

[0068] In some embodiments, the angle between the axis of the main air duct 210 and the axis of the first air inlet 311 is α, and the angle between the axis of the first air inlet 311 and the axis of the first air suction port 410 is β.

[0069] It can be understood that the greater the angles α and β, the smaller the resistance of the airflow when passing through the corner. The smaller the angles, the greater the resistance of the airflow when passing through the corner.

[0070] I. α and β can satisfy 90°<α≤β<180°.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, by setting the angle between the axis of the main air duct 210 and the axis of the first air inlet 311 as an obtuse angle, the airflow in the main air duct 210 enters the first air inlet 311 relatively smoothly and with less resistance.

[0072] By setting α≤β, the extension line of the airflow direction at the first air inlet 410 does not intersect with the airflow direction of the main channel, and the path of the airflow from the main channel through the first air inlet 311 and then through the first air inlet 410 is smoother and has less resistance.

[0073] While the resistance of the airflow through the first air inlet 311 and the first air inlet 410 is relatively reduced, the airflow enters the fan 400 in an S-shaped path, and the airflow has a certain angle with the inner cavity of the fan 400 when entering the fan 400, which has less resistance and lower sound.

[0074] Based on the present embodiment, in an example, α=100° and β=120°; in another example, α=120° and β=150°; and in yet another example, α=150° and β=160°.

[0075] II. α can satisfy 90°<α<180°.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present application, by setting the angle between the axis of the main air duct 210 and the axis of the first air inlet 311 as an obtuse angle, the airflow in the main air duct 210 enters the first air inlet 311 in an arc-shaped air duct, which has less resistance and lower noise.

[0077] In some embodiments, the angle β between the axis of the first air inlet 311 and the axis of the first air inlet 410 can be less than or equal to α. At this time, the air duct of the airflow is in an S-shaped arc line, which can cooperate with the position of the first air outlet 420 of the fan 400. When the first air outlet 420 is located on the side wall of the fan 400 and is located on the opposite side of the outlet direction of the first air inlet 311, the path of the airflow exiting the fan 400 is smoother.

[0078] Based on the present embodiment, in an example, α=100° and β=100°; in another example, α=120° and β=100°; and in yet another example, α=150° and β=120°.

[0079] In some embodiments, the angle β between the axis of the first air inlet 311 and the axis of the first air inlet 410 can also be equal to 180°, so as to minimize the resistance between the first air inlet 311 and the first air inlet 410 and make the air path smoother.

[0080] Based on this embodiment, in one example, α = 100°; in another example, α = 120°; and in yet another example, α = 150°.

[0081] In some embodiments, the angle β between the axis of the first air inlet 311 and the axis of the first air intake 410 can be greater than 180°. In this case, the airflow duct is a C-shaped arc, which can be matched with the position of the first air outlet 420 of the fan 400. When the first air outlet 420 is located on the side wall of the fan 400 and is opposite to the outlet direction of the first air inlet 311, the path of the airflow exiting the fan 400 can be smoother.

[0082] Based on this embodiment, in one example, α = 100°, β = 120°; in another example, α = 120°, β = 150°; and in yet another example, α = 150°, β = 160°.

[0083] 3. β can satisfy: 90°<β<180°.

[0084] According to some embodiments of this application, by setting the angle between the axis of the first air inlet 311 and the axis of the first air intake 410 to an obtuse angle, the airflow is made to pass through the first air inlet 311 into the fan 400 in a relatively smooth manner with low resistance.

[0085] In some embodiments, the angle α between the axis of the main air duct 210 and the axis of the first air inlet 311 can be equal to 180°, so as to minimize the resistance between the main air duct 210 and the first air inlet 311 and reduce noise.

[0086] Based on this embodiment, in one example, β = 100°; in another example, β = 120°; and in yet another example, β = 150°.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the first intake port 410 can be located at the bottom of the fan 400, and the first outlet port 420 can be located on the side of the fan 400. The first intake port 410 is located at the bottom of the fan 400 to connect with the first air inlet 311, and the first outlet port 420 is located on the side of the fan 400. The axis of the first outlet port 420 extends radially along the fan 400, or the axis of the first outlet port 420 extends in a direction parallel to any diameter of the fan 400. Since the axis of the fan 400 is set at an angle to the main air duct 210, the axis of the first outlet port 420 is set at an obtuse angle to the axis of the main air duct 210, making the overall path of the airflow in the main air duct 210 flowing into the fan 400 and then flowing out through the first outlet port 420 smooth, with low airflow resistance and low noise.

[0088] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the height of the first air duct 330 on the side where the first air outlet 420 is located can be greater than the height of the first air duct 330 on the opposite side of the first air outlet 420. The first air duct 330 is arranged around the fan 400, and the height of the first air duct 330 on the side where the first air outlet 420 is located is greater than the height of the first air duct 330 on the opposite side of the first air outlet 420. That is, the height of the inlet of the first air duct 330 is greater than the height of the outlet of the first air duct 330. The first air duct 330 is spirally arranged downward along the airflow direction. The spiral arrangement of the first air duct 330 causes the airflow to swirl within the first air duct 330, resulting in low airflow resistance. Furthermore, the spiral downward arrangement of the first air duct 330 results in a longer length. By extending the airflow path and reducing airflow resistance through the arrangement of the first air duct 330, airflow noise and noise at the outlet of the first air duct 330 are reduced.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, at least one of a first porous silencer 331, a second porous silencer 332, and a third porous silencer 333 may be arranged within the first air duct 330. By providing the first porous silencer 331, the second porous silencer 332, and the third porous silencer 333, noise generated by airflow and the motor of the fan 400 can be reduced, thereby achieving a noise reduction effect. The first porous silencer 331, the second porous silencer 332, and the third porous silencer 333 can be selectively installed according to actual installation requirements; any one, any two, or all three can be installed.

[0090] Understandably, porous sound-absorbing components utilize their porous nature, allowing airflow to pass through small holes. Without affecting airflow, the multiple small cavities formed by the internal pores absorb sound, thus reducing noise.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first porous silencer 331 can be disposed facing the first air outlet 420. The first porous silencer 331 can be arranged in a ring shape. The first porous silencer 331 is arranged around the inner side wall of the fan lower casing 300. Furthermore, the first porous silencer 331 is at least partially opposite to the first air outlet 420, so that the gas flowing out of the first air outlet 420 will collide with the first porous silencer 331. While the first porous silencer 331 performs the first stage of silencer on the airflow entering the first air duct 330, it can also silence the noise emitted by the motor of the fan 400.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second porous silencer 332 can be arranged in the middle of the first air duct 330. By setting the second porous silencer 332 in the middle of the first air duct 330, the airflow can be filtered and silenced when it flows through the middle of the first air duct 330.

[0093] In this embodiment, the third porous sound-absorbing component 333 can be arranged at the outlet of the first air duct 330. By providing the third porous sound-absorbing component 333 at the outlet of the first air duct 330, the noise of the airflow being discharged to the outside can be reduced.

[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the cleaning device 100 may further include at least one of a fourth porous silencing element 340 and a fifth porous silencing element 220.

[0095] In this embodiment, the fourth porous sound-absorbing component 340 can be located on the outer wall of the fan lower casing 300, and the first porous sound-absorbing component 331 can be arranged around the outer wall of the fan lower casing 300 or along the circumferential portion of the fan lower casing 300. The fourth porous sound-absorbing component 340 reduces the noise transmitted from the fan 400 through the fan lower casing 300. At the same time, the fourth porous sound-absorbing component 340 can also abut against the internal structure of the casing 200, playing a role in vibration damping.

[0096] In this embodiment, the fifth porous sound-absorbing component 220 can be located on the inner wall of the housing 200 facing the fan 400. Since the axis of the fan 400 is set at an angle to the axis of the main air duct 210, and one end of the fan 400 is set close to the housing 200, by setting the fifth porous sound-absorbing component 220 inside the corresponding housing 200, the noise transmitted from the fan 400 through the housing 200 is reduced, and the fan 400 can also play a certain role in vibration reduction.

[0097] It should be noted that the materials of the first porous sound-absorbing component 331, the second porous sound-absorbing component 332, the third porous sound-absorbing component 333, the fourth porous sound-absorbing component 340, and the fifth porous sound-absorbing component 220 may include, but are not limited to, organic fibers, inorganic fibers, inorganic foam, and foamed plastics. The first porous sound-absorbing component 331, the second porous sound-absorbing component 332, the third porous sound-absorbing component 333, the fourth porous sound-absorbing component 340, and the fifth porous sound-absorbing component 220 may be arranged in the form of sound-absorbing cotton.

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the cleaning device 100 may further include a first soft rubber pad 450, and the fan 400 is supported on the fan lower housing 300 by the first soft rubber pad 450. The first soft rubber pad 450 is disposed at the lower end of the fan 400 and is located between the first air intake 410 and the first air inlet 311. By providing the first soft rubber pad 450 between the fan 400 and the fan lower housing 300, the fan 400 is supported, the gap between the first air intake 410 and the first air inlet 311 is sealed, and the device also has a shock absorption function to reduce noise caused by vibration.

[0099] likeFigure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first soft rubber pad 450 can be arranged in a ring shape. The through hole in the middle of the first soft rubber pad 450 is used to connect the first air intake 410 and the first air inlet 311. To facilitate ventilation, the cross-sectional dimensions of the through hole of the first soft rubber pad 450 are the same as those of the first air intake 410 and the first air inlet 311 near the end of the first air intake 410. Furthermore, the side of the first soft rubber pad 450 facing the fan 400 can also be provided with a supporting part, which abuts against the periphery of the lower end of the fan 400 to improve the stability of the fan 400 installation.

[0100] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a second soft rubber pad 350, and the lower end of the fan lower housing 300 is supported within the body housing 200 by the second soft rubber pad 350. Specifically, the second soft rubber pad 350 is disposed between the first air inlet 311 and the upper end of the main air duct 210. The second soft rubber pad 350 is arranged in a ring shape. By setting the second soft rubber pad 350, the gap between the first air inlet 311 and the main air duct 210 is sealed, and at the same time, it plays a role in shock absorption and support for the fan lower housing 300, which can reduce the noise caused by vibration.

[0101] It should be noted that the materials of the first soft rubber pad 450 and the second soft rubber pad 350 are not limited here, and can be, but are not limited to, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber, etc.

[0102] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the fan lower housing 300 may include a lower housing 310 and an air duct cover 320.
