[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] In order to solve the problem that users need to manually fill the water purification box with clean water before using the floor scrubber, which causes inconvenience to users.
[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment discloses a cleaning device, which includes a washing device, a surface cleaning device and a base. The washing device can be a washing machine, a dishwasher and other devices with a washing function, and the surface cleaning device can be a handheld floor scrubber, an autonomous floor scrubber and other devices that can clean the ground, a desktop or other objects. In this embodiment, the washing device is described by taking a washing machine as an example, and the surface cleaning device is described by taking a handheld floor scrubber as an example. The washing device and the surface cleaning device are integrated through the base, so that the washing device can not only have a cleaning function, but also can replenish water for the surface cleaning device, give full play to the function of the washing device, improve the automation of the surface cleaning device, facilitate user use, and improve user experience.
[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handheld floor scrubber includes a push handle, a water purification box, a sewage tank, a detergent box, a vacuum motor, a roller brush, a motor, a battery pack and a charging stand. The clean water in the water purification box combines with the detergent and flows to the roller brush. The motor drives the roller brush to separate the dirt from the ground. The vacuum motor vacuums the sewage tank and returns the sewage on the ground to the sewage tank through the sewage suction pipe to clean the ground. The water purification box can be snapped onto the handheld floor scrubber or placed in the base and replenished with water through the washing device.
[0054] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, specifically, the water purification box includes a box body 1, a plug-in tube 5, a water conduit 6 and a water level detection mechanism, and the water level detection mechanism can detect the liquid level in the box body 1 in real time. The box body 1 is provided with an air hole 21, and a waterproof air-permeable membrane 3 is fixed in the air hole 21, so that the inside of the box body 1 can be connected with the outside atmosphere, so that the liquid flows into or out of the box body 1, and the liquid in the box body 1 will not leak from the air hole 21 to the outside of the box body 1.
[0055] The box body 1 is provided with a water hole, the water pipe 6 is located in the box body 1 and is connected to the plug-in pipe 5, the plug-in pipe 5 is fixed in the water hole, and one end of the plug-in pipe 5 is located outside the box body 1, so that the plug-in pipe 5 can be connected to the handheld scrubber and the washing equipment, so that the liquid can flow into or out of the box body 1 through the plug-in pipe 5 and the water pipe 6. In this embodiment, the water pipe 6 and the plug-in pipe 5 are arranged on the side of the box body 1, so that when the handheld scrubber is in use, the water in the box body 1 can flow to the water-using equipment through the water pipe 6 and the plug-in pipe 5 by gravity. At the same time, after the water purification box 1 is placed horizontally in the base, the water level detection mechanism can detect the liquid level in the box body 1 in real time.
[0056] like Figure 4As shown, the water level detection mechanism includes a sensing member, a pivot 72, a float 73 and a magnetic member fixed on the float 73. The pivot 72 is arranged perpendicular to the lifting direction of the liquid level and fixed on the box body 1. The magnetic member and the float 73 are rotatably connected to the pivot 72. In this embodiment, the magnetic member is a magnet 74. The end of the float 73 away from the pivot 72 is tilted downward, and in the initial state, the initial state is a state where there is no liquid in the box body 1. The end of the float 73 away from the pivot 72 is in contact with the bottom wall of the box body. As the liquid level in the box body 1 changes, the float 73 can drive the magnetic member to rotate around the pivot 72 as the center.
[0057] The sensing component is fixed on the top wall of the box body 1, and the magnetic component is always within the sensing range of the sensing component. The sensing component can detect the rotation angle of the magnetic component and calculate the liquid level in the box body 1 according to the rotation angle of the magnetic component. The sensing component is connected to the main control mechanism of the washing machine through a wireless signal, wherein the main control mechanism is specifically the main control board. The main control mechanism is connected to the user processing terminal through a wireless signal, and the liquid level information in the box body 1 can be displayed on the operation panel of the washing machine, and the liquid level information in the box body 1 can be transmitted to the user processing terminal, so that the user can know the water replenishment status of the box body 1 in time. In this embodiment, the sensing component adopts a 3D Hall sensor 71, which can realize accurate 3D sensing and angle measurement of magnetic fields in the X, Y, and Z directions, and has low power consumption.
[0058] Furthermore, the handheld floor scrubber also includes a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the main control mechanism. The displacement sensor can measure and feedback the moving route of the handheld floor scrubber.
[0059] During use, the liquid level changes of each floor cleaning by the handheld floor scrubber are transmitted to the main control mechanism through the sensor, and the movement trajectory is transmitted to the main control mechanism through the displacement sensor, and the main control mechanism then transmits the information to the user processing terminal. The user processing terminal calculates and analyzes a large amount of data to calculate the cleaning area, the time and water consumption for each cleaning, and adjusts and controls the water intake of the water purification box, that is, the preset value of the water level in the box, according to the calculation and analysis results. The water intake of the water purification box can be better adapted to the water consumption of one cleaning, thereby reducing the situation where there is a lot of remaining water in the water purification box after cleaning, and the user directly pours out the water to waste water resources, or reduces the possibility of retaining the remaining water in the water purification box and breeding bacteria after a long storage time.
[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, further, the box body 1 also includes a box cover 2 and a sealing ring 4 sleeved on the box cover 2, the air vent 21 is provided on the box cover 2, and a water inlet 101 for the box cover 2 to be engaged is provided on the top wall of the box body 1, and the box cover 2 is engaged in the water inlet 101 to achieve a detachable connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 2. The sealing ring 4 is pressed against the inner wall of the water inlet 101, and the possibility of the liquid in the box body 1 leaking in the gap between the box body 1 and the box cover 2 can be reduced by the sealing ring 4. Of course, one end of the box body 1 can also be hinged on the box body 1, and the water inlet 101 can be opened or closed by rotating the box cover 2.
[0061] By opening the water inlet 101, water can be supplied into the water purification box manually, which adds a way to replenish water into the water purification box. In addition, the water inlet 101 is provided to facilitate cleaning the inside of the box body 1 and quickly emptying the water in the box body 1.
[0062] like Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the base includes a box frame 81, a drawer 82, a water supply pipe 83 and a water supply valve 84 installed on the water supply pipe 83. The water supply valve 84 can control the on and off of the water supply pipe 83. The drawer 82 is slidably installed in the box frame 81 through a guide rail (not shown in the figure). The washing machine is placed on the box frame 81, which can reduce the floor space of the cleaning device. One end of the water supply pipe 83 is connected to the washing machine, and the other end of the water supply pipe 83 passes through the box frame 81 and extends into the drawer 82. One end of the water supply pipe 83 located in the box is connected to an interface matching the plug-in pipe 5 of the water purification box. The water purification box is placed in the drawer 82 and the plug-in pipe 5 is plugged into the interface, so that the water purification box is connected to the washing machine.
[0063] When the washing machine is started, water can be added to the water purification box. After the water purification box is filled, the user can install the water purification box on the handheld floor scrubber for use. During the water replenishment process, the user can obtain real-time information about the liquid level in the water purification box through the operation panel of the washing machine or the user processing terminal. In addition, compared with manual water replenishment of the water purification box, water replenishment through the washing machine can reduce the user's operating steps, improve the user experience, and the water injection efficiency is also higher.
[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the base also includes a folder, which includes a first arm 85 and a second arm 86 hinged on the first arm 85, and the water supply pipe 83 is arranged along the first arm 85 and the second arm 86 and fixed to the first arm 85 and the second arm 86 by buckles. The water supply pipe 83 is guided and constrained by the folder, which can reduce the possibility of the water supply pipe 83 affecting the drawing of the drawer 82, and at the same time, it can also reduce the wear of the water supply pipe 83 and extend the service life of the water supply pipe 83.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9As shown, the washing machine includes a housing 91, a washing tub 92, a water storage tank 93, a water inlet pipe 94, a drain pipe 96 and a water supply mechanism. The washing tub 92 is installed in the housing 91. One end of the water inlet pipe 94 is connected to the washing tub 92, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 94 is connected to an external tap water source. Clean water can be supplied to the washing tub 92 through the water inlet pipe 94 to wash the clothes. A drain pump 97 is installed on the drain pipe 96. One end of the drain pipe 96 is connected to the washing tub 92, and the other end of the drain pipe 96 is connected to the sewer system. During normal use of the washing machine, the water in the washing tub 92 can be discharged through the drain pump 97.
[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, the water storage tank 93 is connected to the washing drum 92 through a water storage pipe, and a water storage valve 99 is installed on the water storage pipe. When the water storage valve 99 is opened, the rinsing water in the washing drum 92 can be discharged into the water storage tank 93 for storage. The water supply mechanism can supply the rinsing water in the water storage tank 93 to the water purification box for use, thereby improving the utilization rate of water resources.
[0067] The water supply mechanism includes a circulation pipe 951 and a circulation pump 952 installed on the circulation pipe 951. One end of the circulation pipe 951 is connected to the water storage tank 93, and the other end of the circulation pipe 951 is connected to the water supply pipe 83. By opening the water storage valve 99, the water supply valve 84, and starting the circulation pump 952, the water in the water storage tank 93 can be supplied to the water purification box.
[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, further, the water supply mechanism also includes a water supply pipe 953 and a three-way valve 954. The three-way valve 954 is used to connect the tap water source, the water supply pipe 953 and the water inlet pipe 94. One end of the water supply pipe 953 away from the three-way valve 954 is connected to the water supply pipe 83. When it is necessary to replenish water to the water purification box, the valve port of the three-way valve 954 connected to the water supply pipe 953 can be opened, and the valve port connected to the water inlet pipe 94 can be closed, and the water supply valve 84 can be opened to directly introduce tap water into the water purification box for water replenishment, so that the user can use clean water to mop the floor.
[0069] Furthermore, a filter 98 is installed on the circulation pipe 951, and the possibility of debris such as lint in the rinse water entering the water supply pipe 83 or the water purification box can be reduced through the filter 98, thereby reducing the possibility of clogging the water supply pipe 83 or the plug-in pipe 5 of the water purification box, making water supply smoother. A filter 98 can also be installed on the drainage pipe 96, which can reduce the possibility of debris clogging the drainage pipe 96 or the drainage system, making the drainage of the washing machine smoother.
[0070] By integrating the washing machine, the handheld floor scrubber and the base, the cleaning device can have both the washing function of the washing machine and the floor scrubbing function of the handheld floor scrubber, and can also replenish water for the handheld floor scrubber. On the one hand, the capacity of the washing machine can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, the automation degree of the handheld floor scrubber can be improved, making it more convenient for users to use.
