If any, 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 implementation method.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device 100, including a main body 10, a walking mechanism (not shown), a cleaning component (not shown) and a water tank 30. The following takes the cleaning device 100 as a sweeper as an example to describe the main body 10, the water tank 30 and other structures. This embodiment is only used as an example and does not limit the technical scope of the present application. It is understood that in other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 may also be specifically other appliances equipped with a water tank 30, such as a mopping machine, etc., which is not limited here.

[0055] The main body 10 is a shell structure, and the walking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the main body 10, which is used to drive the main body 10 to move on the ground or other working surfaces. The cleaning component is installed on the main body 10, which is used to clean the ground and can perform self-cleaning during the working process. The water tank 30 is detachably installed on the main body 10 and is located on one side of the cleaning component, and is used to collect sewage generated by the cleaning component during the self-cleaning process.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to realize the rapid disassembly and assembly of the water tank 30 , the cleaning device 100 further includes a pop-up mechanism 50 , and the operator can realize the disassembly of the water tank 30 by pressing the pop-up mechanism 50 .

[0057] Specifically, the pop-up mechanism 50 is installed on the main body 10 and located on one side of the water tank 30. The pop-up mechanism 50 can be switched between the first state and the second state under the action of an external force. When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state, the pop-up mechanism 50 is matched with the water tank 30, so that the water tank 30 is in a fixed locking state relative to the main body 10, thereby preventing the water tank 30 from being separated from the main body 10 so that the cleaning device 100 can work normally. When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the second state, the pop-up mechanism 50 is separated from the water tank 30, so that the water tank 30 is in an unlocked state that can be separated from the main body 10, thereby facilitating the operator to remove the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0058] In this way, the water tank 30 can be locked and unlocked simply by changing the state of the pop-up mechanism 50, which greatly facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the water tank 30, simplifies the use operation of the cleaning device 100, effectively improves the user experience of the cleaning device 100, and further reduces people's housework burden.

[0059] Furthermore, in the present application, a certain lifting space is reserved in the main body 10 for the cleaning component, and the cleaning component can be lifted up and down as needed, so when the cleaning device 100 encounters a carpet or other object to be cleaned that cannot be wetted by water during the cleaning process, the cleaning component can be lifted upward to prevent the carpet from being wetted. Therefore, in order not to occupy the lifting space of the cleaning component, in the present application, in the forward direction of the cleaning device 100, the cleaning component is located in front of the water tank 30, and the pop-up mechanism 50 is located above the water tank 30 in the direction of gravity and at the top of the cleaning device 100, so the setting of the pop-up mechanism 50 does not occupy the lifting space of the cleaning component.

[0060] In the prior art, since the water tank is usually arranged inside the cleaning device, when the operator tries to observe the water volume, the water tank is blocked by the top decorative cover and cannot be directly viewed, so the decorative cover must be opened to take out the water tank for observation. In the present application, as a preferred embodiment, the water tank 30 is located at the rear of the main body 10, so that the operator can directly observe the water volume in the water tank 30 without taking out the water tank 30.

[0061] In the following embodiments, the direction parallel to the forward direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the first direction (i.e., the X direction in FIG. 3 ), the height direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the second direction (i.e., the Z direction in FIG. 3 ), and the width direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the third direction (i.e., the Y direction in FIG. 2 ). The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other. As a preferred embodiment, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the cleaning assembly is located on one side of the water tank 30 in the first direction, and the ejection mechanism 50 is located above the water tank 30 in the second direction.

[0062] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the water tank 30 is a hollow shell-like structure. The water tank 30 is inserted into the main body 10 along the first direction. A locking groove 32 is provided on the side of the water tank 30 close to the pop-up mechanism 50 in the second direction. The locking groove 32 is located on the side of the water tank 30 close to the cleaning component in the first direction, and the locking groove 32 extends longitudinally along the third direction.

[0063] In this way, the main body 10 itself can limit the water tank 30 in the second direction and the third direction, and the pop-up mechanism 50 is used to limit the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction. Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state, the pop-up mechanism 50 is inserted into the locking groove 32, thereby limiting the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction to prevent the water tank 30 from detaching from the main body 10. As shown in Figure 5, when the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the second state, the pop-up mechanism 50 is disengaged from the locking groove 32, so that the water tank 30 can move along the first direction away from the cleaning component to detach from the main body 10.

[0064] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the ejection mechanism 50 includes a bracket 51, a button 52, a latch 53 and a transmission member 54 that are matched with each other. The bracket 51 is fixedly mounted on the main body 10, the button 52, the latch 53 and the transmission member 54 are respectively mounted on the bracket 51, and the button 52 and the latch 53 are connected by the transmission member 54. The button 52 can move under the action of an external force to approach or move away from the water tank 30, and the latch 53 can move under the drive of the button 52 through the transmission of the transmission member 54 to insert into or disengage from the locking groove 32.

[0065] When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state, the button 52 is close to the water tank 30, and the latch 53 is driven by the button 52 to disengage the locking groove 32 through the transmission member 54. When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the second state, the button 52 is away from the water tank 30, and the latch 53 can be inserted into the locking groove 32.

[0066] In some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 50 further includes a first restoring member 55 and a second restoring member 56. The first restoring member 55 is disposed between the bracket 51 and the button 52, and the first restoring member 55 can generate a restorable deformation to apply a force to the button 52 to move away from the water tank 30. The second restoring member 56 is disposed between the bracket 51 and the latch 53, and the second restoring member 56 can generate a restorable deformation to apply a force to the latch 53 to move it closer to the locking groove 32.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 6. The bracket 51 includes an integrally formed first mounting portion 512, a second mounting portion 514 and a third mounting portion 516. The first mounting portion 512, the third mounting portion 516 and the second mounting portion 514 are arranged in sequence in a first direction at intervals. The first mounting portion 512 is located on a side of the third mounting portion 516 away from the cleaning component, and the second mounting portion 514 is located on a side of the third mounting portion 516 close to the cleaning component.

[0068] In this way, the button 52 is movably installed on the first mounting portion 512 along the second direction, the latch 53 is movably installed on the second mounting portion 514 along the second direction, and the transmission member 54 is rotatably installed on the third mounting portion 516. The movement of the latch 53 along the second direction can drive the button 52 to move along the second direction through the transmission member 54.

[0069] The first mounting portion 512 has two protrusions 5121 and a first mounting column 5123. The two protrusions 5121 are protrudingly disposed on opposite side end surfaces of the first mounting portion 512 in the third direction, and are used to limit the movement of the button 52 in the second direction. The first mounting column 5123 is located between the two protrusions 5121 in the third direction, and the first mounting column 5123 extends vertically along the second direction, and is used to limit the first reset member 55.

[0070] The button 52 includes a button body 521, a pressing portion 523, and two button buckles 525. The pressing portion 523 is connected to one end of the button body 521 away from the water tank 30 in the second direction, and the pressing portion 523 is exposed outside the main body 10. The operator can apply pressure to the button 52 by pressing the pressing portion 523. The two button buckles 525 are located at one end of the button body 521 away from the pressing portion 523 in the second direction, and the two button buckles 525 are spaced apart in the third direction. The button buckles 525 can cooperate with the first mounting portion 512 to limit the movement of the button 52. A button limiting groove 521a is also provided on opposite sides of the button body 521 in the third direction, and the button 52 is connected to the transmission member 54 through the button limiting groove 521a.

[0071] In this way, the button 52 body of the button 52 is movably mounted on the first mounting portion 512 along the second direction, and the pressing portion 523 is supported on the first mounting portion 512 along the second direction. The operator can apply pressure to the pressing portion 523 to drive the button 52 to move along the second direction. The two button buckles 525 of the button 52 are correspondingly arranged with the two protrusions 5121 of the first mounting portion 512, and the protrusions 5121 can abut against the button buckles 525 of the button 52 in the second direction to prevent the button 52 from detaching from the first mounting portion 512 in the direction away from the water tank 30.

[0072] The first restoring member 55 is sleeved on the first mounting column 5123, and one end of the first restoring member 55 in the second direction abuts against the pressing portion 523 of the button 52. The first restoring member 55 is used to apply a force to the button 52 away from the water tank 30, so that the button 52 has a tendency to move away from the water tank 30. When the operator presses the pressing portion 523 downward along the second direction, the first restoring member 55 is compressed under the force applied by the operator, and the button 52 moves along the second direction toward the water tank 30. When the operator releases the pressing portion 523, the first restoring member 55 returns to the initial state, and the button 52 moves along the second direction away from the water tank 30 until the button buckle 525 of the button 52 abuts against the protruding portion 5121 of the first mounting portion 512, thereby preventing the button 52 from being separated from the bracket 51.

[0073] The second mounting portion 514 has a receiving groove 514a, two guide grooves 514b and two limiting grooves 514c. The receiving groove 514a is located in the middle of the first mounting portion 512 in the third direction, and is used to receive the latch 53. The two guide grooves 514b are respectively located on opposite sides of the receiving groove 514a in the third direction, and each guide groove 514b extends along the second direction, and is used to cooperate with the latch 53 to guide the movement of the latch 53. Each limiting groove 514c is respectively located on one side of a guide groove 514b away from the receiving groove 514a, and is used to cooperate with the latch 53 to limit the movement of the latch 53.

[0074] The latch 53 includes a latch body 531, a second mounting column 532, a transmission part 533, a guide rod 534 and a latch buckle 535, which are arranged on the same side of the latch body 531. The latch body 531 is a long strip structure extending along the third direction, and the latch body 531 can be inserted into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30 along the second direction. The second mounting column 532 is located in the middle position of the latch body 531 in the third direction, and the second mounting column 532 extends along the second direction, and is used to install the second reset member 56. The two transmission parts 533 are respectively located on both sides of the second mounting column 532 in the third direction, and each transmission part 533 is a hollow "inverted U" structure to form a latch slot 533a, and the transmission part 533 can extend into the receiving groove 514a of the second mounting part 514, and is matched with the transmission member 54 through the latch slot 533a. Each guide rod 534 is located at one side of the transmission part 533 in the third direction away from the second mounting column 532, and the guide rod 534 extends along the second direction, and is used to be matched with the guide groove 514b of the second mounting part 514. Each latch buckle 535 is located at one side of the guide rod 534 in the third direction away from the transmission part 533, and is used to be matched with the limiting groove 514c of the second mounting part 514.

[0075] In this way, the latch 53 is installed on the second mounting portion 514 of the bracket 51 from bottom to top along the second direction, and the two transmission parts 533 extend into the accommodating groove 514a of the second mounting portion 514 along the second direction. The two guide rods 534 are respectively inserted into the guide grooves 514b along the second direction, and the two guide rods 534 can reciprocate in the guide grooves 514b along the second direction. The guide grooves 514b play a guiding and limiting role to ensure that the latch 53 moves along the second direction. The two latch buckles 535 pass through the limiting grooves 514c along the second direction and can abut against the second mounting portion 514 in the second direction to prevent the latch 53 from detaching from the bracket 51 in the second direction.

[0076] The second restoring member 56 is sleeved on the second mounting column 532, and one end of the second restoring member 56 extends into the receiving groove 514a and is limited by the groove wall of the receiving groove 514a. The second restoring member 56 can exert a force on the latch 53 to make it move toward the water tank 30 along the second direction, so that the latch body 531 is inserted into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30.

[0077] The third mounting portion 516 includes two support arms 5161 , and the two support arms 5161 are spaced apart in the third direction.

[0078] The transmission member 54 includes a transmission member body 541, an elastic arm 543, a supporting portion 545 and a buckle portion 547. Two elastic arms 543 are connected to opposite sides of the transmission member body 541 in the third direction, and the elastic arms 543 are used to be rotatably connected to the support arm 5161 of the third mounting portion 516. Two supporting portions 545 are connected to one end of the transmission member body 541 close to the first mounting portion 512 in the first direction, and the two supporting portions 545 are spaced apart in the third direction. Two buckle portions 547 are connected to one end of the transmission member body 541 close to the second mounting portion 514 in the first direction, and the two buckle portions 547 are spaced apart in the third direction.

[0079] In this way, the transmission member body 541 is located between the two support arms 5161 of the third mounting portion 516, the two elastic arms 543 are respectively rotatably inserted into the two support arms 5161 of the third mounting portion 516, the rotation center of the transmission member body 541 is located between the abutting portion 545 and the buckle portion 547, the two abutting portions 545 are respectively limited in the two button limiting grooves 521a of the button 52, and the two buckle portions 547 are respectively inserted in the latch groove 533a of the latch 53 along the first direction. When the button 52 moves toward the water tank 30 along the second direction under the action of an external force, the transmission member 54 rotates with the connection between the elastic arm 543 and the support arm 5161 as the rotation center under the drive of the button 52, thereby driving the latch 53 to move away from the water tank 30 along the second direction.

[0080] In conjunction with FIG. 3 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a pushing assembly 70, which is located at one side of the water tank 30 and is used to apply a force along the second direction away from the cleaning assembly to the water tank 30. When the water tank 30 is in an unlocked state, the pushing assembly 70 pushes a portion of the water tank 30 to move along the second direction away from the cleaning assembly to extend out of the main body 10, thereby facilitating the operator to take the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0081] Specifically in some embodiments, the pushing assembly 70 includes a pushing member 74 and an elastic member 72. A mounting groove 34 is provided on one side of the water tank 30 facing the cleaning assembly in the second direction, one end of the pushing member 74 is movably installed in the mounting groove 34 along the second direction, and the other end of the pushing member 74 extends out of the mounting groove 34 to abut against the main body 10. One end of the elastic member 72 is limited in the mounting groove 34, and the other end of the elastic member 72 is limited in the pushing member 74. The elastic member 72 can produce a restorable deformation to apply a force to the water tank 30 to partially extend out of the main body 10. Furthermore, the pushing member 74 is also provided with a buckle, which is used to abut against the groove wall of the mounting groove 34 in the first direction to prevent the pushing member 74 from being separated from the water tank 30 under the action of the elastic member 72.

[0082] In some embodiments, the end portion of the pin body 531 of the pin 53 extending into the locking groove 32 is also provided with a first mating surface 531a extending obliquely relative to the first direction, and the side of the locking groove 32 facing the cleaning component is provided with a second mating surface 36 extending obliquely relative to the first direction, and the first mating surface 531a is beveled with the second mating surface 36.

[0083] In this way, when installing the water tank 30, the operator can push the water tank 30 along the first direction toward the direction of the cleaning component. Since the water tank 30 and the latch body 531 are matched with the first matching surface 531a and the second matching surface 36 oblique surface, the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction can be converted into the movement of the latch body 531 in the second direction, thereby pushing the latch body 531 to move upward along the second matching surface 36 until it reaches the edge of the locking groove 32. Thereafter, the latch body 531 is inserted into the locking groove 32 under the push of the second reset member 56 to lock the water tank 30.

[0084] The disassembly principle of the water tank 30 is as follows;

[0085] As shown in FIG3 and FIG4, when the water tank 30 is normally installed in the main body 10, the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state, and the latch 53 of the pop-up mechanism 50 is inserted into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30 under the abutment of the second restoring member 56, so that the water tank 30 cannot be separated from the main body 10 along the second direction and is in a locked state. At this time, the button 52 of the pop-up mechanism 50 is also in a position away from the water tank 30 under the abutment of the first restoring member 55.

[0086] As shown in FIG5 , when the water tank 30 is removed, the operator presses the button 52 of the pop-up mechanism 50 downward in the second direction, and the pop-up mechanism 50 switches from the first state to the second state. The first reset member 55 is compressed under the pressure and allows the button 52 to move toward the water tank 30, thereby driving the bracket 51 to rotate, and then driving the latch 53 to move upward in the second direction so that the latch 53 body leaves the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30. At this time, the second reset member 56 is in a compressed state.

[0087] After the latch 53 leaves the locking groove 32, the elastic member 72 of the pushing assembly 70 switches from a compressed state to an extended state, thereby pushing the water tank 30 to move along the second direction away from the cleaning assembly and extend out of the main body 10. At this time, the operator can remove the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0088] When the water tank 30 extends out of the main body 10 under the push of the pushing assembly 70, the force applied by the operator to the button 52 disappears, the first reset member 55 drives the button 52 to return to the initial position, and the latch 53 also returns to the initial position under the drive of the second reset member 56.

[0089] When installing the water tank 30, the operator inserts the water tank 30 into the main body 10 along the first direction, and the second mating surface 36 of the water tank 30 abuts against the first mating surface 531a of the latch 53. The latch 53 moves upward along the second direction under the abutment of the water tank 30. When the water tank 30 is completely located in the main body 10, the latch 53, which loses the abutment of the first mating surface 531a, extends into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30 under the push of the second restoring member 56 to re-lock the water tank 30.

[0090] The cleaning device 100 can realize quick disassembly and assembly of the water tank 30 by setting the pop-up mechanism 50, which is convenient for use of the cleaning device 100. Moreover, the setting of the pop-up mechanism 50 does not occupy the lifting space of the cleaning component, thereby meeting the setting requirements of the cleaning component. In addition, since the water tank 30 is set at the rear of the main body 10 and can be exposed to the external environment, the user can check the water level in the water tank 30 at any time.

[0091] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
