Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mite and dust removal equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] A mite-removing vacuum cleaner, also known as a mite remover, is a cleaning 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 unit and a control handle. When using it, the control handle is used to push and pull the main unit on the bed to remove mites. However, repeatedly pushing and pulling the device with 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 proposes a cleaning device that addresses the problems of existing mite removal cleaners being laborious to use and having a poor user experience. The cleaning device includes a mite removal instrument and can change the direction of the drive wheels as needed to provide assistance in different directions and facilitate the movement of the cleaning device.
[0005] A cleaning device includes a cleaning body and an operating handle, the operating handle being rotatable relative to the cleaning body, the cleaning body comprising:
[0006] A housing and a drive wheel, wherein the drive wheel is disposed within the housing;
[0007] The reversing assembly includes a slider, which is movably disposed within the housing;
[0008] The operating handle extends into the housing and connects to the sliding member. The operating handle can also drive the sliding member to move relative to the housing to a first working position or a second working position. When the sliding member is in the first working position, the drive wheel is controlled to rotate along a first circumferential direction. When the sliding member is in the second working position, the drive wheel is controlled to rotate along a second circumferential direction. The first circumferential direction and the second circumferential direction are opposite.
[0009] In one embodiment, the slider has an initial position within the housing, the initial position being located between the first working position and the second working position;
[0010] The slider is configured to move relative to the housing from the initial position to the first working position in a first direction under force, and to move relative to the housing from the initial position to the second working position in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite, and the operating handle is rotatably connected to the slider about the first direction.
[0011] In one embodiment, the reversing assembly includes an elastic structure connected between the slider and the housing;
[0012] 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.
[0013] 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;
[0014] 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.
[0015] In one embodiment, the slider includes a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion disposed opposite to each other in a 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;
[0016] One end of the first elastic member extends into the first limiting cavity and is connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, while the other end abuts against the first abutting part;
[0017] One end of the second elastic member extends into the second limiting cavity and is connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, while the other end abuts against the second abutting part.
[0018] In one embodiment, the cleaning body further includes a control component, the control component including a first control unit and a second control unit, the first control unit being configured to control the drive wheel to rotate along a first circumferential direction when turned on, and the second control unit being configured to control the drive wheel to rotate along a second circumferential direction when turned on.
[0019] The slider includes an action part. When the slider is in the first working position, the action part activates the first control part. When the slider is in the second working position, the action part activates the second control part.
[0020] 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 has a first conduction position, the first control unit includes the first conduction position, the second optical coupler sensor has a second conduction position, and the second control unit includes the second conduction position.
[0021] The functional part is provided with a communication notch for external light connection. When the sliding member is in the first working position, the communication notch is directly opposite to the first conductive position and the first optical coupler sensor is turned on.
[0022] When the slider is in the second working position, the connecting notch is aligned with the second conductive position and the second optocoupler sensor is activated.
[0023] In one embodiment, the first control unit and the second control unit are respectively a first control switch and a second control switch arranged at intervals. The first control switch has a first switch part, the first control unit includes the first switch part, and the second control switch has a second switch part, the second control unit includes the second switch part.
[0024] The actuating part is a protruding abutment on the slider. When the slider is in the first working position, the abutment presses the first switch part and turns on the first control switch.
[0025] When the slider is in the second working position, the abutment presses the second switch and turns on the second control switch.
[0026] In one embodiment, the control component includes a control board, and the cleaning body includes a motor; the first control unit, the second control unit, and the motor are all electrically connected to the control board, and the motor is drivenly connected to the drive wheel; 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.
[0027] In one embodiment, the cleaning device is a mite remover.
[0028] The aforementioned cleaning device moves the sliding component relative to the housing by pushing and pulling the operating handle. When the sliding component is in different working positions, the drive wheel rotates in different circumferential directions, thereby providing the cleaning device with driving forces in opposite directions. This enables the drive wheel to push and pull back and forth during the use of the cleaning device. The operation is sensitive and easy to implement. Furthermore, the operating handle can rotate at a certain angle relative to the cleaning body to adapt to different cleaning distances and angles, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

Detailed Implementation
[0045] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0046] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0047] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0048] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0049] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0050] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0051] According to some embodiments of this application, see [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 A cleaning device 1000 is provided, which can be used as a mite remover to remove dust, mites, and other allergens from specific items such as beds, sofas, carpets, and textiles. The cleaning 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 handle provides a grip for the user, allowing the user to operate the cleaning body 100 through the operating handle 200.
[0052] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 5 The operating handle 200 can rotate circumferentially relative to the cleaning body 100. The cleaning body 100 specifically includes a housing 10, a drive wheel 20, and a reversing assembly 30. The drive wheel 20 is located inside the housing 10. The reversing assembly 30 includes a slider 31, which is movably located inside the housing 10. The operating handle extends into the housing 10 and is connected to the slider 31. The operating handle 200 can drive the slider 31 to move relative to the housing 10 to a first working position or a second working position. 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 and second circumferential directions are opposite.
[0053] For example, when the operating handle 200 pushes the slider 31 to the first working position, the drive wheel 20 can rotate clockwise to drive the cleaning 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 drive the cleaning 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 provide forward and backward pushing and pulling assistance to the cleaning device 1000.
[0054] 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.
[0055] The cleaning device 1000 also includes a beater 70, and the housing 10 includes a dust cup 13 and a third receiving space 117. The third receiving space 117 is connected to the dust cup 13. The beater 70 is rotatably disposed within the third receiving space 117. When the cleaning device 1000 performs cleaning work, 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 to the dust cup 13 for collection. Understandably, a connecting pipe is provided between the third receiving space 117 and the dust cup 13 to transfer dust.
[0056] During the actual operation of the cleaning equipment 1000, the sliding member 31 can be pushed or pulled by the operating handle 200 to move 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 cleaning equipment 1000 to move in different directions.
[0057] When the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate in the first circumferential direction, it provides a first driving force to the cleaning device 1000. When the drive wheel 20 rotates in the second circumferential direction, it provides a second driving force to the cleaning device 1000. The first driving force and the second driving force are in opposite directions, thereby enabling the drive wheel 20 to push and pull back and forth during the use of the cleaning device 1000, saving the user's effort, and making the operation sensitive and easy to implement.
[0058] Furthermore, the operating handle 200 of the cleaning device 1000 can rotate relative to the cleaning body 100, that is, it can rotate at a certain angle relative to the housing 10, in order to adapt to different cleaning distances and angles, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Understandably, the operating handle 200 can rotate circumferentially around the direction of the sliding member 31 of the operating handle 200.
[0059] In one embodiment, the slider 31 has an initial position within the housing 10, which is located between a first working position and a second working position. The slider 31 is configured to move relative to the housing 10 from the initial position to the first working position under force along a first direction L1, and is also capable of moving relative to the housing 10 from the initial position to the second working position along a second direction L2, where the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are opposite. The operating handle 200 is rotatably connected to the slider 21 about the first direction L1.
[0060] Specifically, the sliding member 31 can act as a rotating shaft, and the operating handle 200 extends into the housing 10 and connects to the sliding member 31. The operating handle 200 can rotate relative to the sliding member 31 around a first direction (see reference). Figure 1 and Figure 2 After the operating handle 200 rotates to the set position relative to the slider 31, the operating handle 200 applies a force in the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 to the slider 31 so as to drive the slider 31 to move synchronously with the operating handle 200.
[0061] 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.
[0062] 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.
[0063] While the operating handle 200 pushes and pulls the sliding member 31, the operating handle 200 can also rotate around the circumference of the sliding member 31 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 until it is substantially parallel to the housing 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 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 1 This 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.
[0064] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 3 to 5 The housing 10 also includes a housing assembly 11 and a connector assembly 12. The connector assembly 12 and the dust cup 13 are assembled on opposite sides of the housing assembly 11. The connector assembly 12 forms an interface 122 for installing the operating handle 200. The drive wheel 20 and the beater 70 are disposed in the housing assembly 11. The sliding member 31 is disposed inside the housing assembly 11 and is movably connected to the housing assembly 11.
[0065] Specifically, the first receiving space 115, the second receiving space 116, and the third receiving space 117 are all located on the outer shell assembly 11. The drive wheel 20 is located in the first receiving space 115 within the outer shell assembly 11 and extends at least partially out of the outer shell assembly 11. The beater 70 is located in the third receiving space 117 within the outer shell assembly 11 and extends at least partially out of the outer shell assembly 11, so that the drive wheel 20 and the beater 70 can directly contact the object to be cleaned when the cleaning device 1000 is in operation.
[0066] The slider 31 is movably disposed within the second receiving space 116. One end of the connector assembly 12 extends into the second receiving space 116 and is connected to the slider 31, while the other end forms an interface 122 for connecting the operating handle 200. When it is necessary to control the slider 31 to move relative to the housing assembly 11, a force is applied to the operating handle 200, and the connector assembly 12 transmits the motion to the slider 31.
[0067] The outer casing assembly 11 includes an upper casing 113 and an upper casing cover 114. The upper casing 113 forms a second receiving space 116 inside. Both ends of the second receiving space 116 have openings. One end is covered by the upper casing 10 and connected to the dust cup 13. The other end is open for the connector assembly 12 to pass through and connect to the upper casing 10.
[0068] In one embodiment, the slider 31 has a first connection hole 314, and the operating handle 200 passes through the connector assembly 12 and forms a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the first connection hole 314. When the user needs to operate the operating handle 200 to rotate relative to the slider 31, a force is applied to the operating handle 200, so that the operating handle 200 drives the connector assembly 12 to rotate circumferentially relative to the first connection hole 314 through the rotating shaft.
[0069] Understandably, when the sliding member 31 is in the first and second working positions, the cleaning device 1000 is in a cleaning state, and the cleaning device 1000 cleans the object to be cleaned. When the sliding member 31 is in the initial position, the cleaning process is idle, and the cleaning device 1000 is not working. After the cleaning device 1000 is turned on, if the drive wheel 20 is required to provide assistance, the operating handle 200 needs to provide force to the sliding member 31 to achieve the forward and backward sliding of the sliding member 31.
[0070] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 5 to 7 The reversing assembly 30 includes an elastic structure 32, which abuts against the slider 31 and the housing 10 along the first direction L1. When the slider 31 is in the first working position and the second working position, the elastic structure 32 deforms and accumulates an elastic restoring force to drive the slider 31 to reset to the initial position.
[0071] That is, 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.
[0072] 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.
[0073] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 5 to 7 The elastic structure 32 includes a first elastic element 321 and a second elastic element 322, which are disposed at opposite ends of the slider 31 along a first direction L1. When the slider 31 is in a first working position or a second working position, one of the first elastic element 321 and the second elastic element 322 is compressed and / or one is stretched.
[0074] In one specific embodiment, 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 simultaneously stretching the second elastic element 322 located 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 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 simultaneously stretching the first elastic element 321 located 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.
[0075] 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).
[0076] Specifically, see Figures 5 to 7 The housing 10 includes a first limiting portion 118 and a second limiting portion 119 disposed opposite each other in the first direction L1. The first limiting member can be respectively disposed on the upper housing 113 and the upper housing cover 114. The sliding member 31 includes a first abutting portion 311 and abutting portion 312 disposed opposite each other in the first direction L1. One end of the first elastic member 321 abuts against the first abutting portion 311 and the other end is connected to the first limiting portion 118. One end of the second elastic member 322 is connected to the second abutting portion 312 and the other end is connected to the second limiting portion 119.
[0077] Furthermore, the first limiting part 118 has a first limiting cavity, and the second limiting part 119 has a second limiting cavity. The opening of the first limiting cavity is directly opposite the opening of the second limiting cavity. One end of the first elastic member 321 extends into the first limiting cavity and is connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, while the other end abuts against the first abutting part 311. One end of the second elastic member 322 extends into the second limiting cavity and is connected to the bottom wall of the cavity, while the other end abuts against the second abutting part 312.
[0078] The first limiting cavity and the second limiting cavity limit the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322 along the first direction L1 (or the second direction L2) to ensure 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.
[0079] Furthermore, the first abutting portion 311 (second abutting portion 312) of the sliding member 31 can be at least partially extended into the first limiting cavity (second limiting cavity) and spaced apart from the bottom wall of the first limiting cavity (second limiting cavity) to accommodate the first elastic member 321 (second elastic member 322).
[0080] 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 118, and each second elastic member 322 is provided with a second limiting part 119, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the sliding member 31.
[0081] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3 and Figures 8 to 15 The cleaning unit 100 also includes a control assembly 40, which 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. The sliding member 31 includes an actuating part 315. When the sliding member 31 is in a first working position, the actuating part 315 activates the first control unit 41, and when the sliding member 31 is in a second working position, the actuating part 315 activates the second control unit 42.
[0082] 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 cleaning equipment 1000 in different directions.
[0083] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figures 8 to 15 The 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.
[0084] 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 cleaning device 1000, assisting the user in pushing and pulling the cleaning device 1000 in different directions.
[0085] 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.
[0086] Specifically, the control component 40 includes, but is not limited to, the following two embodiments:
[0087] First embodiment (see reference) Figures 8 to 10 ):
[0088] 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 first control unit 41 includes the first conduction position 4111. The second optocoupler sensor 421 has a second conduction position 4211, and the second control unit 42 includes the second conduction position 4211. Figures 8 to 10 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.
[0089] That is, when the slider 31 is in the first working position, such as Figure 9 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 10The sliding member 31 conducts the second conducting position 4211 through the connecting notch 3151 on the active part 315.
[0090] Since the initial position is between the first and second working positions, when the slider 31 is in the initial position, such as Figure 8 At 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.
[0091] During the actual operation of the cleaning equipment 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 cleaning equipment 1000 to move in different directions.
[0092] 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.
[0093] 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.
[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 The cleaning unit 100 also includes a light shield 50, which covers the outer periphery of the first optical coupler sensor 411 and the second optical coupler sensor 421 to prevent other external light from interfering with the control component 40.
[0095] Furthermore, the light shield 50 includes a light-transmitting groove 51 communicating with the first conduction position 4111 and the second conduction position 4211, and the communicating notch 3151 is configured to move with the slider 31 and be directly facing the first conduction position 4111 or the second conduction position 4211. External light can only shine on the first conduction position 4111 and the second conduction position 4211 through the light-transmitting groove 51 of the light shield 50.
[0096] The action part 315 of the slider 31 is covered outside the light shield 50. When the connecting notch 3151 is directly opposite the first conductive position 4111, external light shines from the connecting notch 3151 through the light-transmitting groove 51 onto the first conductive position 4111, turning on the first optocoupler sensor 411. At this time, the light-transmitting groove 51 above the second conductive position 4211 is partially blocked by the wall of the action part 315, and the light cannot enter.
[0097] Similarly, when the connecting gap 3151 is directly opposite the second conductive position 4211, external light shines from the connecting gap 3151 through the light-transmitting groove 51 onto the second conductive position 4211, turning on the second optocoupler sensor 421. At this time, the light-transmitting groove 51 above the first conductive position 4111 is partially blocked by the wall of the action part 315, and the light cannot enter.
[0098] Second embodiment (see reference) Figures 11 to 15 ):
[0099] The first control unit 41 and the second control unit 42 are respectively a first control switch 412 and a second control switch 422 arranged at intervals. The first control switch 412 has a first switch portion 4122, and the first control unit 41 includes the first switch portion 4122. The second control switch 422 has a second switch portion 4222, and the second control unit 42 includes the first switch portion 4222. The actuating part 315 is an abutment protruding from the sliding member 31. When the sliding member 31 is in the first working position, such as... Figure 14 The contact joint presses down on the first switch part 4122 and turns on the first control switch 412. When the sliding member 31 is in the second working position, such as Figure 15 Press the second switch 4222 with the contact joint and turn on the second control switch 422.
[0100] Specifically, during the actual operation of the cleaning equipment 1000, the sliding member 31 can be pushed or pulled by the operating handle 200 to move relative to the housing 10, so that the pressure head presses the first switch part 4122 or the second switch part 4222, thereby selectively controlling the drive wheel 20 to rotate along the first circumferential direction or the second circumferential direction, driving the cleaning equipment 1000 to move in different directions.
[0101] Understandably, when the pressure head is located between the first switch part 4122 and the second switch part 4222, such as Figure 13At this time, the slider 31 is in the initial position and the drive wheel 20 is not working.
[0102] Specifically, when the pressure head presses the first switch 4122, the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate along the first circumferential direction, providing a first driving force to the cleaning device 1000. When the pressure head presses the second switch 4222, light passes through the drive wheel 20 and rotates along the second circumferential direction, providing a second driving force to the cleaning device 1000. Since the first and second circumferential directions are opposite, the first and second driving forces are in opposite directions, thereby enabling the drive wheel 20 to push and pull back and forth during the use of the cleaning device 1000, saving the user effort, and making the operation sensitive and easy to implement.
[0103] The pressing head can be in the form of a block, a sphere, or any other shape of protrusion, and this application does not limit it. Understandably, the first switch and the second switch are spaced apart along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 so as to press the first switch part 4122 or the second switch part 4222 when the pressing head moves along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2.
[0104] When the first switch part 4122 of the first control switch 412 is pressed, the first control switch 412 is turned on, and the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate in the first circumferential direction. When the second switch part 4222 of the second control switch 422 is pressed, the second control switch 422 is turned on, and the drive wheel 20 is controlled to rotate in the second circumferential direction.
[0105] The first control switch 412 and the second control switch 422 are set at intervals, and the sliding member 31 can switch positions between the two, so that the pressing head can selectively move to turn on the first control switch 412 or the second control switch 422, thereby realizing the driving of the drive wheel 20 in different directions.
[0106] In one embodiment, the first control switch 412 includes a first body 4121 and a first pressing portion 4123 obliquely connected to the first body 4121. A first switch portion 4122 is formed on the side of the first body 4121 facing the first pressing portion 4123. The second control switch 422 includes a second body 4221 and a second pressing portion 4223 obliquely connected to the second body 4221. A second switch portion 4222 is formed on the side of the second body 4221 facing the second pressing portion 4223.
[0107] When the slider 31 is in the first working position, the pressing head presses the first pressing part 4123 to bring it close to and press the first switch part 4122 of the first body 4121. When the slider 31 is in the second working position, the pressing head presses the second pressing part 4223 to bring it close to and press the second switch part 4222 of the second body 4221.
[0108] The first pressing part 4123 is obliquely connected to the first body 4121, meaning that one end of the first pressing part 4123 is connected to the first body 4121, and the other end is spaced apart from the first body 4121. When the first pressing part 4123 is pressed, the end spaced apart from the first body 4121 is subjected to force and moves toward the side closer to the first body 4121 to press the first switch part 4122 disposed between the first pressing part 4123 and the first body 4121. Similarly, the second pressing part 4223 is obliquely connected to the second body 4221, meaning that one end of the second pressing part 4223 is connected to the second body 4221, and the other end is spaced apart from the second body 4221. When the second pressing part 4223 is pressed, the end spaced apart from the second body 4221 is subjected to force and moves toward the side closer to the second body 4221 to press the second switch part 4222 disposed between the second pressing part 4223 and the second body 4221.
[0109] Thus, by moving the pressing head of the sliding member 31 to different positions, the first control switch 412 and the second control switch 422 are turned on, thereby realizing the control of the rotation direction of the drive wheel 20.
[0110] In one embodiment, the switch assembly further includes a mounting bracket 44 disposed on the housing 10, and a control board 4343 disposed on the mounting bracket 44. The switch assembly is disposed on the side of the control board 4343 opposite to the mounting bracket 44. Specifically, the mounting bracket 44 is disposed inside the housing assembly 11 to provide a support base, and the switch assembly is disposed on one side of the control board 4343 and electrically connected to the control board 4343, thereby providing effective support when the pressing head presses the first switch portion 4122 and the second switch portion 4222 of the switch assembly, so as to effectively open the first control switch 412 and the second control switch 422.
[0111] The cleaning device 1000 provided in this application achieves forward and backward pushing and pulling assistance of the drive wheel 20 during the use of the cleaning device 1000 by switching the position of the sliding member 31, and the operating handle 200 can be rotated adaptively, saving the user's effort and making the operation sensitive and easy to achieve.
[0112] 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.
[0113] 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.
