Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mite removal equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning body and mite removal equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A mite-removing vacuum cleaner, also known as a mite remover, is a device used to remove dust, mites, and other allergens from textiles such as beds, sofas, carpets, and clothing. A typical mite-removing vacuum cleaner consists of a main cleaning body and a handle. When using it, the handle is used to push and pull the main body on the bed to remove mites. However, repeatedly pushing and pulling the device by the handle can be strenuous for the user.

[0003] In existing technologies, sensors are typically used to detect the relative position of the cleaning unit to the ground and adjust the driving force of the roller brush to change the force between the mite remover and the contact surface, thus making it easier for the user to use. However, this method suffers from low sensitivity due to the influence of the surface being cleaned, making it laborious to use and resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, this application addresses the problems of existing mite removal cleaners being laborious to use and having a poor user experience by proposing a cleaning body and mite removal device. The cleaning body and mite removal device can change the direction of the drive wheels as needed to provide assistance in different directions and facilitate the movement of the cleaning body and mite removal device.

[0005] A cleaning body, comprising:

[0006] A housing and a drive wheel, wherein the drive wheel is disposed in the housing;

[0007] A reversing assembly includes a slider and an elastic structure, wherein the slider is disposed within the housing and the elastic structure is connected between the slider and the housing;

[0008] The slider has an initial position, a first working position, and a second working position. The slider is configured to move from the initial position to the first working position or the second working position when subjected to force. When the slider is in the first working position or the second working position, the elastic structure deforms and accumulates an elastic restoring force that drives the slider to reset to the initial position.

[0009] When the slider is in the first working position, the drive wheel is controlled to rotate along the first circumferential direction; when the slider is in the second working position, the drive wheel is controlled to rotate along the second circumferential direction, and the first circumferential direction and the second circumferential direction are opposite.

[0010] The slider has a first positioning part, and the housing has a second positioning part. When the slider is reset to the initial position, the first positioning part and the second positioning part cooperate to fix it.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first positioning part and the second positioning part are attracted by magnetic force.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first working position and the second working position are located on either side of the initial position;

[0013] The slider moves from the initial position to the first working position along a first direction, and can move from the initial position to the second working position along a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0014] In one embodiment, the elastic structure includes a first elastic element and a second elastic element, the first elastic element and the second elastic element being disposed at opposite ends of the slider along the first direction;

[0015] When the slider is in the first working position or the second working position, one of the first elastic element and the second elastic element is compressed, and / or one is stretched.

[0016] In one embodiment, the slider includes a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion disposed opposite to each other in the first direction, and the housing includes a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion disposed opposite to each other in the first direction, the first limiting portion having a first limiting cavity and the second limiting portion having a second limiting cavity;

[0018] The second abutting portion extends into the second limiting cavity, and the second elastic member is connected to the bottom wall of the second abutting portion and the second limiting cavity.

[0019] In one embodiment, the housing includes an outer shell assembly, a support assembly, and a connector assembly. The outer shell assembly forms a second receiving space with openings at both ends in the first direction. The slider is movably disposed within the second receiving space. The support assembly and the connector assembly are respectively disposed at the openings at both ends of the second receiving space. The end of the connector assembly connected to the slider and located away from the outer shell assembly forms an interface for mounting an operating handle.

[0020] The first limiting part protrudes from the side of the bracket assembly facing the second receiving space, the second limiting part is provided on the outer shell assembly, and the first limiting part and the second limiting part are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction.

[0021] In one embodiment, the support assembly has a first positioning arm protruding from the side facing the second receiving space, the first positioning arm having a first positioning hole, and the first positioning part being disposed in the first positioning hole;

[0022] The slider has a second positioning arm, the second positioning arm has a second positioning hole, and the second positioning part is located in the second positioning hole;

[0023] When the slider is in the initial position, the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are facing each other along a third direction, and the third direction intersects both the first direction and the second direction.

[0024] In one embodiment, the second positioning arm is positioned between the first abutment and the second abutment in the first direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the housing has a third limiting cavity that communicates with the second receiving space;

[0026] The second positioning arm passes through the third limiting cavity and moves with the sliding member within the third limiting cavity.

[0027] In one embodiment, the slider includes a support member, the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion are disposed on opposite sides of the support member in the first direction, and the second positioning arm is connected to the support member and extends along the third direction.

[0028] In one embodiment, the slider further includes an action portion connected to the side of the support member away from the first abutment portion;

[0029] The cleaning unit also includes a control component, which includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit is configured to control the drive wheel to rotate along the first circumferential direction when it is turned on, and the second control unit is configured to control the drive wheel to rotate along the second circumferential direction when it is turned on.

[0030] When the slider is in the first working position, the actuating part activates the first control unit; when the slider is in the second working position, the actuating part activates the second control unit.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first control unit and the second control unit are respectively a first optical coupler sensor and a second optical coupler sensor arranged at intervals, the first optical coupler sensor having a first conduction position and the second optical coupler sensor having a second conduction position;

[0032] The functional part is provided with a communication notch for external light connection. The sliding member is in the first working position. The communication notch is directly opposite to the first conductive position and turns on the first optical coupler sensor.

[0034] In one embodiment, the control component includes a control board, and the cleaning body includes a motor;

[0035] The first control unit, the second control unit, and the motor are all electrically connected to the control board, and the motor is driven by the drive wheel;

[0036] The control board is used to control the motor to drive the drive wheel to rotate when the first control unit or the second control unit is turned on.

[0037] According to another aspect of this application, a mite removal device is also provided, including an operating handle and any of the above-mentioned cleaning bodies, wherein the housing has an interface, and a portion of the operating handle extends into the housing through the interface, connects to the sliding member, and applies force to the sliding member.

[0038] The aforementioned cleaning body has a sliding component that moves relative to the housing. When the sliding component is in different working positions, the drive wheel rotates in different circumferential directions, thereby providing a driving force in opposite directions to the mite removal device. This enables the drive wheel to push and pull back and forth during the use of the mite removal device, and the operation is sensitive and easy to implement. When the cleaning body is not in use, the sliding component is reset to its initial position through an elastic structure, and the sliding component is locked to its initial position by the fixation of the first positioning part and the second positioning part, so as to avoid inaccurate reset or shaking of the sliding component during reset, which would affect the smoothness of the reset operation.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this application, a mite removal device 1000 is provided for removing dust, mites, and other allergens from specific items to be cleaned, such as beds, sofas, carpets, and textiles. (See also...) Figures 1 to 3The mite removal device 1000 includes a cleaning body 100 and an operating handle 200 connected thereto. The cleaning body 100 is the part mainly used to provide cleaning functions, and the operating handle 200 is used to provide a gripping part for the user, so that the user can operate the cleaning body 100.

[0061] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 8 The cleaning body 100 specifically includes a housing 10, a drive wheel 20, and a reversing assembly 30. The drive wheel 20 is disposed in the housing 10. The reversing assembly 30 includes a slider 31 and an elastic structure 32. The slider 31 is disposed inside the housing 10. The elastic structure 32 is connected between the slider 31 and the housing 10. The slider 31 has an initial position, a first working position, and a second working position. The slider 31 is configured to move from the initial position to the first working position or the second working position under force. When the slider 31 is in the first working position or the second working position, the elastic structure 32 deforms and accumulates an elastic restoring force to drive the slider 31 back to the initial position.

[0062] When the slider 31 is in the first working position, the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate along the first circumferential direction. When the slider 31 is in the second working position, the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate along the second circumferential direction. The first circumferential direction and the second circumferential direction are opposite.

[0063] The slider 31 has a first positioning part 316 and the housing 10 has a second positioning part 14. When the slider 31 is reset to the initial position, the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 cooperate to fix it.

[0064] Understandably, when the sliding member 31 is in the first and second working positions, the cleaning body 100 is in a cleaning state, and the cleaning body 100 cleans the object to be cleaned. When the sliding member 31 is in the initial position, the cleaning process is idle, and the drive wheel 20 is not working. After the mite removal device 1000 is turned on, if the drive wheel 20 is needed to provide assistance, it will provide force to the sliding member 31 to achieve the forward and backward sliding of the sliding member 31.

[0065] Specifically, when the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate in the first circumferential direction, it provides a first driving force to the cleaning body 100. When the drive wheel 20 rotates in the second circumferential direction, it provides a second driving force to the cleaning body 100. The first driving force and the second driving force are in opposite directions, thereby enabling the drive wheel 20 to provide push-pull assistance during the use of the cleaning body 100.

[0066] When the slider 31 is moved to the first working position under force, the drive wheel 20 can rotate clockwise to assist the mite removal device 1000 to move along the first direction L1. When the slider 31 moves to the second working position, the drive wheel 20 can rotate counterclockwise to assist the mite removal device 1000 to move along the second direction L2. The first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are opposite, so the rotation of the drive wheel 20 can assist the mite removal device 1000 to push and pull forward and backward, saving the user's effort and making the operation sensitive and easy to implement.

[0067] Understandably, when the operating handle 200 pushes the cleaning body 100 to move in the first direction L1, the drive wheel 20 provides assistance in the first direction L1, and when the operating handle 200 pushes the cleaning body 100 to move in the second direction L2, the drive wheel 20 provides assistance in the first direction L2.

[0068] The housing 10 is a structure for carrying the drive wheel 20, the reversing assembly 30 and other parts. It can form multiple spaces inside, such as a first receiving space 115 for carrying the drive wheel 20, a second receiving space 116 for carrying the reversing assembly 30, etc. The drive wheel 20 is located in the first receiving space 115 and is rotatably connected to the housing 10, so that when the drive wheel 20 comes into contact with the object to be cleaned, it drives the cleaning body 100 to move relative to the object to be cleaned.

[0069] See Figure 2 The mite removal device 1000 also includes a beater 70, and the cleaning body 100 includes a third receiving space 117. The beater 70 is rotatably disposed within the third receiving space 117. When the mite removal device 1000 is cleaning, the beater 70 continuously beats the object to be cleaned and transfers the dust, mites, etc., raised by the beating through the third receiving space 117 for collection. Understandably, a dust cup can be installed at an appropriate position on the housing 10 and connected to the third receiving space 117 to achieve self-collection while cleaning.

[0070] During the process of the slider 31 switching from the initial position to the first working position along the first direction L1 and switching from the initial position to the second working position along the second direction L2, as the slider 31 moves, the elastic structure 32 generates elastic deformation, thereby accumulating elastic restoring force. When the force acting on the slider 31 disappears, the elastic restoring force drives the slider 31 to automatically reset from the first working position or the second working position to the initial position, thereby realizing the automatic reset of the slider 31.

[0071] The deformation of the elastic structure 32 can be tension or compression, and the specific form of the elastic structure 32 can be a spring, torsion spring, or other structures, which are not limited in this application.

[0072] Furthermore, when the elastic structure 32 releases its elastic force, for example, if the elastic structure 32 is relatively soft, it may wobble or fail to reset accurately. This can cause the slider 31 to fail to stop accurately at its initial position every time it moves, affecting the user's operating feel. Therefore, by fixing the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14, the position of the slider 31 is locked when it resets to its initial position. This prevents the elastic structure 32 from driving the slider 31 to reset again, thus avoiding inaccurate reset or wobble and improving the smoothness of the slider 31's reset.

[0073] The fixing of the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 can be, but is not limited to, attraction or locking. Attraction can be, but is not limited to, vacuum attraction, surface-to-surface attraction, magnetic attraction, etc. Through the cooperation of the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14, when the sliding part 31 is reset by the elastic structure 32, the sliding part 31 is accurately positioned and fixed in the initial position, so as to avoid the sliding part 31 from being misaligned and shaking in the housing 10 when it is reset, thereby improving the user experience.

[0074] In one embodiment, the operating handle 200 can be partially inserted into the housing 10 and connected to the slider 31. The operating handle 200 can push and pull the slider 31 to move it relative to the housing 10, thereby selectively controlling the drive wheel 20 to rotate along the first circumferential direction or the second circumferential direction, driving the mite removal device 1000 to move in different directions.

[0075] In one embodiment, the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 are attracted by magnetic force.

[0076] Magnetic forces can be generated between magnets, between magnets and iron, between electromagnetic coils and magnets, or between electromagnetic coils and iron. In this case, the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 are respectively, but not limited to, magnets and magnets, magnets and iron, electromagnetic coils and magnets, or electromagnetic coils and iron. When the two are attracted by magnetic forces, they do not need to be completely fitted together, i.e., there needs to be a certain gap, as long as the magnetic force is sufficient to ensure the fixation of the sliding member 31.

[0077] When the slider 31 is fixed in the initial position, if it is necessary to operate to move the slider 31 to the first working position or the second working position, the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 are configured to separate when the slider 31 is subjected to force. At this time, it is necessary to apply a force to the slider 31, and the force is greater than the magnetic force, so that the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 separate, thereby sliding to the first working position and the second working position, realizing the reciprocating sliding operation of the slider 31 in the housing 10.

[0078] In one embodiment, the first working position and the second working position are located on both sides of the initial position. The slider 31 moves from the initial position to the first working position along the first direction L1 and can move from the initial position to the second working position along the second direction L2. The first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are opposite.

[0079] The first working position and the second working position are located on both sides of the initial position. The slider 31 is configured to be driven by the operating handle 200 to move relative to the housing 10 in the first direction L1 to move from the initial position to the first working position, and can also be driven by the operating handle 200 to move relative to the housing 10 in the second direction L2 to move from the initial position to the second working position.

[0080] Since the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are opposite, when the slider 31 moves relative to the housing 10 along the second direction L2, the operating handle 200 has a pushing action, and when the slider 31 moves relative to the housing 10 along the first direction L1, the operating handle 200 has a pulling action. Thus, by pushing and pulling the operating handle 200, the slider 31 can be switched to different positions within the housing 10.

[0081] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1 and Figure 5 The elastic structure 32 includes a first elastic element 321 and a second elastic element 322. The first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 are disposed at opposite ends of the sliding member 31 along the first direction L1. When the sliding member 31 is in the first working position or the second working position, one of the first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 is compressed and / or one is stretched.

[0082] When the slider 31 moves from its initial position to its first working position along the first direction L1, it can compress the first elastic element 321 while stretching the second elastic element 322 on the other side. The first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 together provide an elastic restoring force along the second direction L2. Similarly, when the slider 31 moves from its initial position to its second working position along the second direction L2, it can compress the second elastic element 322 while stretching the first elastic element 321 on the other side. At this time, the first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 together provide an elastic restoring force along the first direction L1.

[0083] The first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 can be springs, and the deformation direction of the springs is the first direction L1 (or the second direction L2). Understandably, when the slider 31 returns to its initial position from the first working position or the second working position, due to the simultaneous action of the first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 on both sides, the slider 31 is prone to displacement. At this time, the attraction of the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 can stabilize the slider 31 in time and prevent it from being misaligned or shaking.

[0084] In one embodiment, the slider 31 includes a first abutting portion 311 and a second abutting portion 312 disposed opposite to each other in the first direction L1, and the housing 10 includes a first limiting portion 132 and a second limiting portion 119 disposed opposite to each other in the first direction L1. The first limiting portion 132 has a first limiting cavity, and the second limiting portion 119 has a second limiting cavity. A portion of the first abutting portion 311 extends into the first limiting cavity. A first elastic member 321 is connected to the bottom wall of the first abutting portion 311 and the first limiting cavity. One end of the second elastic member 322 extends into the second limiting cavity and is connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, and the other end abuts against the second abutting portion 312.

[0085] Specifically, both the first limiting cavity and the second limiting cavity have openings, and the openings of the two are arranged opposite to each other so that the first abutting part 311 and the second abutting part 312 can extend into the first limiting cavity and the second limiting cavity respectively.

[0086] The first limiting cavity limits the first elastic member 321 and the first abutting part 311 along the first direction L1 (or the second direction L2), and the second limiting cavity limits the second elastic member 322 and the second abutting part 312 along the first direction L1 (or the second direction L2). This ensures that the first abutting part 311 and the second abutting part 312 can only slide along the inner wall of the first limiting part 132 facing the first limiting cavity and the inner wall of the second limiting part 119 facing the second limiting cavity. This ensures that the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322 can deform along the first direction L1 (or the second direction L2) and will not bend in other directions, thereby improving the movement stability of the sliding member 31.

[0087] Furthermore, the first abutting part 311 (second abutting part 312) of the sliding member 31 can be arranged opposite to the opening of the first limiting cavity (second limiting cavity) without extending into it. In this case, one end of the first elastic member 321 (second elastic member 322) needs to be connected to the first abutting part 311 (second abutting part 312).

[0088] In one embodiment, multiple first elastic members 321 and second elastic members 322 may be provided, and each first elastic member 321 is provided with a first limiting part 132 and a first abutting part 311, and each second elastic member 322 is provided with a second limiting part 119 and a second abutting part 312, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the sliding member 31.

[0089] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing 10 includes an outer shell assembly 11, a support assembly 13, and a connector assembly 12. The outer shell assembly 11 forms a second receiving space 116 with openings at both ends in the first direction L1. The slider 31 is movably disposed in the second receiving space 116. The support assembly 13 and the connector assembly 12 are respectively disposed at the openings at both ends of the second receiving space 116. The end of the connector assembly 12 connected to the slider 31 and away from the outer shell assembly 11 forms an interface 122 for installing the operating handle 200. The support assembly 13 has a first limiting part 132 protruding from the side facing the second receiving space 116. The outer shell assembly 11 has a second limiting part 119, and the first limiting part 132 and the second limiting part 119 are disposed opposite to each other in the first direction L1.

[0090] Specifically, see Figures 5 to 7 The sliding member 31 has a connecting hole 314, and the connector assembly 12 has a connecting shaft 121. The connector assembly 12 is provided with an opening on one side of the second receiving space 116 and is fixedly connected to the sliding member 31 in the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 through the connecting shaft 121. When the connector assembly 12 moves along the first direction L1, the sliding member 31 moves along the first direction L1.

[0091] Specifically, a hollow hole structure can be provided on the connecting shaft 121 to fix the operating handle 200 and the connector assembly 12 through the connecting shaft 121. When the user applies force to the end of the operating handle 200, the connector assembly 12 and the sliding member 31 move synchronously along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, the operating handle 200 can also rotate circumferentially relative to the connector assembly 12 about the first direction L1 to adapt to different cleaning distances and angles. For example, when cleaning a more distant location is required, the operating handle 200 can be rotated relative to the sliding member 31 to be substantially parallel to the housing 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 This allows for patting cleaning at a greater distance. When cleaning a closer area is required, the operating handle 200 can be rotated relative to the sliding member 31 until it is substantially perpendicular to the housing 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 3This allows for closer patting cleaning. Understandably, the distance is defined as the side of the patter 70 that is furthest from the housing 10 relative to the operating handle 200.

[0093] The first limiting cavity and the second limiting cavity can be cylindrical. At this time, the first limiting part 132 protruding from the bracket assembly 13 is cylindrical. In this way, the position transmission connection of the sliding member 31 is realized through the cooperation of the connector assembly 12 and the outer shell assembly 11 with the bracket assembly 13.

[0094] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 7 to 10 The bracket assembly 13 has a first positioning arm 131 protruding from the side facing the second receiving space 116. The first positioning arm 131 has a first positioning hole 1311, and a first positioning part 316 is disposed within the first positioning hole 1311. The slider 31 has a second positioning arm 317, and the second positioning arm 317 has a second positioning hole 3171, with a second positioning part 14 located within the second positioning hole 3171. When the slider 31 is in the initial position, the first positioning hole 1311 and the second positioning hole 3171 are directly opposite each other along the third direction L3, and the third direction L3 intersects both the first direction L1 and the second direction L2.

[0095] The first positioning arm 131 and the first limiting part 132 are arranged in parallel directions, and both protrude toward the side close to the slider 31. When the slider 31 drives the first abutting part 311 to slide in the first limiting part 132, the first positioning hole 1311 of the first positioning arm 131 approaches the second positioning hole 3171 of the second positioning arm 317 of the slider 31.

[0096] During the movement of the slider 31 from its first working position, second working position, from its initial position to its first working position, and from its initial position to its second working position, the first positioning hole 1311 and the second positioning hole 3171 are misaligned in the third direction L3, and the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 do not engage. When the slider 31 moves to its initial position, the first positioning hole 1311 and the second positioning hole 3171 are aligned in the third direction L3 (they are coaxial), at which point the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 engage, fixing the slider 31 to this position.

[0097] Understandably, the first positioning part 316 can be attached to the second positioning part 14 on the third direction L3 to attract each other, or it can be attracted at intervals by magnetic force.

[0098] Furthermore, the second positioning arm 317 is positioned between the first abutment portion 311 and the second abutment portion 312 in the first direction L1. When the slider 31 is in the initial position, the middle position of the slider 31 in the first direction L1 is attracted to the second positioning portion 14. This allows the same movement space to be reserved on one side of the first abutment portion 311 and the other side of the second abutment portion 312, making the arrangement and movement of the slider 31 in the second receiving space 116 more reasonable. When in the initial position, the slider 31 is in the middle position of the second receiving space 116 in the first direction L1, which facilitates the movement of the slider 21 along both sides of the first direction L1 and the second direction L2.

[0099] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 6 The housing 10 has a third limiting cavity 113, which is connected to the second receiving space 116. The second positioning arm 317 passes through the third limiting cavity 113 and moves within the third limiting cavity 113 with the sliding member 31.

[0100] Specifically, the third limiting cavity 113 can be formed by protruding ribs from the outer shell assembly 11 into the second receiving space 116, and its shape matches the second positioning arm 317. The third limiting cavity 113 limits the position of the second positioning arm 317 in the outer shell assembly 11, so that the second positioning arm 317 does not produce misalignment in other directions when it translates in the first direction L1 or the second direction L2, so that the second positioning part 14 and the first positioning part 316 can still be effectively attracted after the slider 31 moves multiple times in the housing 10.

[0101] In one embodiment, the slider 31 includes a support 318, a first abutting portion 311 and a second abutting portion 312 are disposed on opposite sides of the support 318 in a first direction L1, a connecting hole 314 is disposed on the support 318, and a second positioning arm 317 is connected to the support 318 and extends along a third direction L3.

[0102] Furthermore, the connecting hole 314 can also extend along the third direction L3. When the support member 318 is subjected to force and moves relative to the housing 10, its first abutment part 311, second abutment part 312 and second positioning arm 317 can move synchronously.

[0103] When both the first abutment portion 311 and the second abutment portion 312 include two, the bracket can be U-shaped. The support member 318 is disassembled into a first support arm 3181 and a second support arm 3182 that are opposite each other and form a U-shaped opening. The first support arm 3181 is provided with the first abutment portion 311 and the second abutment portion 312 at both ends in the first direction L1, and a connecting hole 314 extending along the third direction L3 and a first positioning arm 131 are provided on the first support arm 3181. Similarly, the second support arm 3182 is provided with the first abutment portion 311 and the second abutment portion 312 at both ends in the first direction L1, and a connecting hole 314 extending along the third direction L3 and a first positioning arm 131 are provided on the second support arm 3182.

[0104] Understandably, the first support arm 3181 and the second support arm 3182 move synchronously during movement, and the structure provided on the first support arm 3181 and the structure provided on the second support arm 3182 are arranged opposite to each other in the third direction L3.

[0105] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 7 to 8 The sliding member 31 includes an action part 315, which is located on the side of the support member 318 away from the first abutment part 311. When the support member 318 is U-shaped, the support member 318 also includes a third support arm 3183 opposite to the U-shaped opening and connected to the first support arm 3181 and the second support arm 3182 respectively. The action part 315 is connected to the side of the third support arm 3183 away from the U-shaped opening.

[0106] Furthermore, the control assembly 40 includes a first control unit 41 and a second control unit 42. The first control unit 41 is configured to control the drive wheel 20 to rotate in a first circumferential direction when it is turned on, and the second control unit 42 is configured to control the drive wheel 20 to rotate in a second circumferential direction when it is turned on. When the slider 31 is in the first working position, the actuating unit 315 turns on the first control unit 41, and when the slider 31 is in the second working position, the actuating unit 315 turns on the second control unit 42.

[0107] Specifically, the control component 40 is disposed in the second receiving space 116 opposite to the action part 315 of the slider 31. When the action part 315 moves to the first working position or the second working position, it can contact or open the first control part 41 and the second control part 42 by other means. When the first control part 41 or the second control part 42 is opened, the drive wheel 20 can move along the first circumferential direction or the second circumferential direction, thereby providing assistance to the mite removal device 1000 in different directions.

[0108] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 11 to 14The control component 40 includes a control board 43, and the cleaning body 100 includes a motor. The first control unit 41, the second control unit 42, and the motor are all electrically connected to the control board 43. The motor is driven by the drive wheel 20. The control board 43 is used to control the motor to drive the drive wheel 20 to rotate when the first control unit 41 or the second control unit 42 is turned on.

[0109] When the first control unit 41 is activated, the control board 43, upon receiving the signal that the first control unit 41 has been activated, controls the motor to drive the drive wheel 20 to rotate in the first circumferential direction. When the second control unit 42 is activated, the control board 43, upon receiving the signal that the second control unit 42 has been activated, controls the motor to drive the drive wheel 20 to rotate in the second circumferential direction. The first circumferential direction is defined as forward rotation, and the second circumferential direction as reverse rotation. Thus, the drive wheel 20, while rotating forward and in reverse, provides driving force in different directions to the mite removal device 1000, assisting the user in pushing and pulling the mite removal device 1000 in different directions.

[0110] Specifically, the control board 43 is a PCB control board, which is provided with terminals 431 for connecting the first control unit 41 and the second control unit 42, and has a built-in control program for controlling the components electrically connected thereto, thereby realizing the reversal of the drive wheel 20 through the state of the first control unit 41 and the second control unit 42.

[0111] For a specific embodiment, see [link / reference] Figures 11 to 14 The first control unit 41 and the second control unit 42 are respectively a first optocoupler sensor 411 and a second optocoupler sensor 421 arranged at intervals. The first optocoupler sensor 411 has a first conduction position 4111, and the second optocoupler sensor 421 has a second conduction position 4211. Figures 12 to 14 The active part 315 is provided with a communication notch 3151 for external light connection. When the sliding member 31 is in the first working position, the communication notch 3151 is directly opposite to the first conductive position 4111 and the first optical coupler sensor 411 is turned on. When the sliding member 31 is in the second working position, the communication notch 3151 is directly opposite to the second conductive position 4211 and the second optical coupler sensor 421 is turned on.

[0112] That is, when the slider 31 is in the first working position, such as Figure 13 The slider 31 is connected to the first conductive position 4111 through the connecting notch 3151 on the actuating part 315. When the slider 31 is in the second working position, such as Figure 14 The sliding member 31 conducts the second conducting position 4211 through the connecting notch 3151 on the active part 315.

[0113] Since the initial position is between the first and second working positions, when the slider 31 is in the initial position, such as Figure 12At this time, both the first conductive position 4111 and the second conductive position 4211 are covered by the sliding member 31, and the drive wheel 20 is not working. When the drive wheel 20 needs to work, the sliding member 31 can be pushed or pulled from the initial position along the first direction L1 to the first working position, or pushed or pulled from the initial position along the second direction L2 to the second working position, so that the connecting notch 3151 is aligned with the first conductive position 4111 or the second conductive position 4211.

[0114] During the actual operation of the mite removal device 1000, the sliding member 31 is pushed and pulled by the operating handle 200 to move relative to the housing 10, so that the connecting notch 3151 is aligned with the first conductive position 4111 or the second conductive position 4211, thereby selectively controlling the drive wheel 20 to rotate along the first circumferential direction or the second circumferential direction, driving the mite removal device 1000 to move in different directions.

[0115] Understandably, the first optocoupler sensor 411 and the second optocoupler sensor 421 are spaced apart along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2. Both the first optocoupler sensor 411 and the second optocoupler sensor 421 are electronic components that can convert light signals into electrical signals. They are provided with photosensitive parts (such as photodiodes) to form a first conduction position 4111 and a second conduction position 4211, respectively. When the first conduction position 4111 receives the light signal irradiated through the communication gap 3151, the first conduction position 4111 turns on the first optocoupler sensor 411. When the second conduction position 4211 receives the light signal irradiated through the communication gap 3151, the second conduction position 4211 turns on the second optocoupler sensor 421.

[0116] The first optocoupler sensor 411 and the second optocoupler sensor 421 are spaced apart, and the slider 31 is controlled to move between the two, so that the connecting notch 3151 can selectively move to open the first optocoupler sensor 411 or the second optocoupler sensor 421, thereby realizing the driving of the drive wheel 20 in different directions.

[0117] In other embodiments, the first control unit 41 and the second control unit 42 can also be configured as pressable switches, defined as the first control switch and the second control switch, and the actuating part 315 can be configured as an abutment. When the sliding member 31 moves to the first working position or the second working position, the abutment presses the first control switch or the second control switch, thereby selectively controlling the drive wheel 20 to rotate along the first circumferential direction or the second circumferential direction, driving the mite removal device 1000 to move in different directions.

[0118] Based on the same concept, this application also provides a cleaning body 100 in the above embodiments, the specific features of which have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0119] The cleaning body 100 and mite removal device 1000 provided in this application achieve push-pull assistance of the drive wheel 20 during the use of the cleaning body 100 by switching the position of the sliding part 31, saving the user effort. Furthermore, the suction and fixation of the first positioning part 316 and the second positioning part 14 make the sliding part 31 more stable and accurate in positioning when resetting, resulting in a better user experience.

[0120] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0121] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
