Therefore, the cleaning members of the cleaning device 10 can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the cleaning scene to be cleaned. For example, the first cleaning member 112 is at a low position for cleaning work, while the second cleaning member 122 is at a high position and away from the cleaning ground; or, the second cleaning member 122 is at a low position for cleaning work, while the first cleaning member 112 is at a high position and away from the cleaning ground; or, both the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 are at a low position for cleaning work; or, both the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 are at a high position and away from the cleaning ground.

[0115] In the cleaning device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 are respectively provided with a first lifting mechanism 111 and a second lifting mechanism 121 that can be independently adjusted. By the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121, switching adjustment of multiple working modes is realized, so as to meet the user requirements that the cleaning device 10 has multiple working modes.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121 have the same structure to reduce the design costs of the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121. Of course, in other embodiments, on the basis of being able to independently drive the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 to lift respectively, the structures of the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121 can be completely different, or a part of them is the same and the other part is different.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first cleaning member 112 is a sweeping member, and the second cleaning member 122 is a mopping and washing member. Among them, the sweeping member refers to a cleaning member that can sweep and clean the cleaning ground, including but not limited to a sweeping brush. The mopping and washing member refers to a cleaning member that can wash or mop the cleaning ground. The difference between washing the ground and mopping the ground is that washing the ground requires supplying clean water for washing the ground to the cleaning member, while mopping the ground does not require supplying clean water to the cleaning member, and the dry cleaning member is used to mop the water stains on the cleaning ground to clean it.

[0118] Among them, the second cleaning member 122 is a mopping and washing member. The second cleaning member 122 can independently have the function of washing the ground or the function of mopping the ground. Preferably, the second cleaning member 122 has the functions of washing the ground and mopping the ground. Whether the water tank supplies clean water to the second cleaning member 122 is controlled by the control unit on the device main body 13. Under the condition of supplying clean water, the mopping and washing member has the function of washing the ground, and under the condition that the mopping and washing member is dry, it has the function of mopping the ground.

[0119] In some other embodiments, the first cleaning member 112 is a sweeping member, and the second cleaning member 122 is also a sweeping member. The difference between the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 is that the sweeping bristles of the cleaning member located on the front side of the advancing direction of the device main body 13 can be designed with a larger spacing or a thicker diameter to facilitate the cleaning member located on the front side to clean the larger garbage on the cleaning ground first. And the sweeping bristles of the cleaning member located on the rear side of the advancing direction of the device main body 13 can be designed with a smaller spacing or a thinner diameter to facilitate the cleaning member located on the rear side to perform secondary fine cleaning on the ground cleaned by the front-side cleaning member and clean the smaller garbage on the cleaning ground, and the cleaning ground is fully swept and cleaned by the sweeping bristles with different spacings or thicknesses.

[0120] In some other embodiments, the first cleaning member 112 is a floor washing member, and the second cleaning member 122 is a mopping member. The difference between the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 is that the cleaning member located on the front side of the advancing direction of the device main body 13 is the floor washing member, which has the function of washing the floor under the condition of providing clean water, so as to facilitate the cleaning member located on the front side to first brush the cleaning ground. And the cleaning member located on the rear side of the advancing direction of the device main body 13 is the mopping member, which has the function of mopping the floor under the condition that the mopping member is dry, so as to facilitate the cleaning member located on the rear side to dry the ground cleaned by the front-side cleaning member. The high-cleanliness washing and mopping cleaning of the cleaning ground is completed by two cleaning members with the functions of washing the floor and mopping the floor respectively.

[0121] In some embodiments, along the advancing direction of the device main body 13, the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121 are arranged in parallel and at intervals, and the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 are arranged in parallel and at intervals, which is beneficial to the convenient layout of the first cleaning mechanism 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 12 along the advancing direction of the device main body 13.

[0122] In other embodiments, at least one of the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121 can have a micro angle with the advancing direction, and at least one of the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 can have a micro angle with the advancing direction, which does not affect the implementation and completion of the functions of the first cleaning mechanism 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 12.

[0123] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a swinging assembly 101 and a lifting assembly 102, and the lifting assembly 102 includes a cleaning member. The swinging assembly 101 is rotatably connected to the device main body 13, and the lifting assembly 102 is connected to the side of the swinging assembly 101 away from the device main body 13. When the swinging assembly 101 rotates relative to the device main body 13, the height of the lifting assembly 102 relative to the device main body 13 is allowed to be variable.

[0124] Compared with directly lifting the lifting assembly 102 linearly in the height direction, the height of the lifting assembly 102 is variable by the rotation of the swinging assembly 101 relative to the device main body 13, that is, the entire cleaning mechanism can occupy some space in the advancing direction, avoiding having to make the cleaning mechanism occupy too much size in the height direction due to the linear lifting in the height direction. Since the space of the cleaning device 10 in the height direction is relatively limited, it is not conducive to arranging most of the components of the cleaning mechanism in the height direction.

[0125] Of course, when the size of the cleaning device 10 in the height direction is relatively sufficient, the cleaning mechanism can be designed to directly lift linearly in the height direction.

[0126] Among them, the bottom cover 133 is used to cover the lower side of the device main body 13 and can be detached or installed on the device main body 13.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 111 and the second lifting mechanism 121 both include a swing assembly 101 and a lifting assembly 102. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the travel direction of the device body 13, the two swing components 101 are respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the two lifting components 102. Figures 3 through 8 As shown, along the moving direction of the device body 13 , the two swing assemblies 101 are respectively arranged on the same side of the two lifting assemblies 102 .

[0128] The two swing assemblies 101 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the two lifting assemblies 102, that is, the rotation axes of the first cleaning mechanism 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 12 are arranged on two opposite sides of the two lifting assemblies 102, and will not interfere with each other. Compared with the solution in which the two swing assemblies 101 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the two lifting assemblies 102, the two swing assemblies 101 are respectively arranged on the same side of the two lifting assemblies 102, which can reduce the occupation of the space extending along the travel direction and reduce the total occupation space of the first cleaning mechanism 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 12 on the cleaning device 10.

[0129] In some embodiments, the swing assembly 101 includes a first swing member 1011 and a second swing member 1012, and the lifting assembly 102 includes a driving member 1021 having a driving shaft 1021a, and the driving shaft 1021a is transmission-connected to the cleaning member. The first end 1011a of the first swing member 1011 is rotationally connected to the device body 13, and the second end 1011b away from the first end 1011a is connected to the lifting assembly 102. The first head 1012a of the second swing member 1012 is movably connected to the device body 13 and has a lifting position relative to the device body 13, and the second head 1012b away from the first head 1012a can be transmission-connected to the driving shaft 1021a. The second swinging member 1012 is configured such that when the driving shaft 1021a drives the first head 1012a through the second head 1012b to be in the raised position, the first swinging member 1011 is fixed relative to the device body 13, so that the lifting assembly 102 is in the raised position, and is configured such that when the driving shaft 1021a drives the first head 1012a through the second head 1012b to be out of the raised position, the first swinging member 1011 is rotatable relative to the device body 13, so that the lifting assembly 102 is lowered from the raised position to the working position.

[0130] Among them, the device main body 13 is fixed. The first end 1011a of the first swing member 1011 is rotatably connected to the device main body 13, and the first swing member 1011 rotates around the first end 1011a. Therefore, the first swing member 1011 can be understood as a fixed-axis swing member. Since the cleaning mechanism as a whole can move up and down relative to the device main body 13, the second head 1012b of the second swing member 1012 can be drivingly connected to the drive shaft 1021a, and the drive shaft 1021a belongs to a part of the lifting assembly 102. Therefore, the central axis of the second head 1012b of the second swing member 1012 can move up and down. Therefore, the second swing member 1012 can be understood as a moving-axis swing member.

[0131] The driving member 1021 can be a driving motor, and the drive shaft 1021a provides the driving force for the rotational cleaning of the cleaning member and the lifting of the cleaning mechanism. The drive shaft 1021a drives the first head 1012a to move relative to the device main body 13 through the second head 1012b. In one aspect, when the first head 1012a moves to the lifting position, the rotation angle of the first swing member 1011 relative to the device main body 13 is fixed, so that the lifting assembly 102 is in the lifting position. At this time, the cleaning mechanism as a whole is in the lifting position. In another aspect, when the first head 1012a leaves the lifting position, the first head 1012a loses its restriction on the first swing member 1011, that is, the angle of the first swing member 1011 relative to the device changes from the fixed state to the released state. At this time, the first swing member 1011 can rotate relative to the device main body 13, so that the lifting assembly 102 descends from the lifting position to the working position.

[0132] In this part, the drive shaft 1021a drives the first head 1012a through the second head 1012b to move the first head 1012a to the lifting position and keep the first head 1012a in the lifting position. At this time, since the cleaning member is in the lifting position and does not need to work, the drive shaft 1021a can be in a stationary state.

[0133] Therefore, in one embodiment, power can be continuously supplied to the drive shaft 1021a to keep the first head 1012a in the lifting position, and further keep the cleaning mechanism as a whole in the lifting position.

[0134] In another embodiment, the second swinging member 1012 is configured such that when the first head 1012a is in the raised position, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a are respectively located at the three vertices of the same triangle to form self-locking. Since a triangle has stability, the three vertex positions of the same triangle can form a self-locking balance and remain stationary, that is, when the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a are respectively located at the three vertices of the same triangle, they can be held in the raised position by pure mechanical force until the driving shaft 1021a rotates to break the self-locking balance again. In this embodiment, power can also be continuously supplied to the driving shaft 1021a, and the cleaning mechanism can be held in the raised position by electric power and mechanical force.

[0135] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, optionally, the first head 1012a and the first end 1011a are located on the same side of the height plane where the second head 1012b is located. Optionally, the first head 1012a and the first end 1011a can also be located on both sides of the height plane where the second head 1012b is located. Here, the height plane refers to the vertical plane where the central axis of the second head 1012b is located. Compared with the scheme where the first head 1012a and the first end 1011a are located on both sides of the height plane where the second head 1012b is located, when the first head 1012a and the first end 1011a are located on the same side of the height plane where the second head 1012b is located, the stability of the formed triangle is better, which is more conducive to stably holding the cleaning mechanism in the raised position.

[0136] In some embodiments, the driving shaft 1021a and the cleaning member are arranged in parallel from top to bottom. The first swinging member 1011 and the second swinging member 1012 are arranged on the same side of the height plane where the driving shaft 1021a and the cleaning member are located, which is beneficial to the overall non-rejection of the swinging assembly 101 and reduces the size occupied by the swinging assembly 101 in the traveling direction. The first swinging member 1011 and the second swinging member 1012 are arranged staggeredly along the axis of the driving shaft 1021a to prevent interference between the first swinging member 1011 and the second swinging member 1012 during the lifting process.

[0137] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 20 through 24 shown, the device main body 13 is constructed with a slideway structure 131, the slideway structure 131 extends horizontally along the traveling direction of the device main body 13, and the first head 1012a is slidably arranged in the slideway structure 131. Among them, when the first head 1012a is located at the limit position of the slideway structure 131 close to the second head 1012b, the first head 1012a is in the raised position.

[0138] When the first head 1012a is at the limit position of the slideway structure 131 close to the second head 1012b, the first head 1012a is in the lifted position. At this time, there is no space for the first head 1012a to continue sliding. The first head 1012a abuts against the limit position on the slideway structure 131 close to the second head to form a tightened state. At this time, the motor stops rotating, and the position of the second head 1012b remains fixed, so that the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a are respectively located at the three vertices of the same triangle and form self-locking. At this time, the cleaning mechanism as a whole is in the lifted position. Among them, when the first head 1012a is out of the lifted position state, the first head 1012a can freely slide in other areas of the slideway structure 131 that are out of the limit position close to the second head 1012b.

[0139] It should be noted that the extension length of the slideway structure 131 along the traveling direction can be flexibly designed. The longer the extension length of the slideway structure 131 is, the longer the length space that allows the first head 1012a to slide is, that is, the longer the swing space of the second swing member 1012 is, and the smaller the angle between the second swing member 1012 and the slideway structure 131 can be infinitely. In this way, the lifting height of the lifting assembly 102 can be adjusted, and the liftable height of the lifting assembly 102 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the equipment main body 13. The lifting height can be increased or decreased.

[0140] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 19 As shown in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 102 further includes a one-way bearing 1023, and the one-way bearing 1023 is arranged on the transmission path between the drive shaft 1021a and the second head 1012b. The one-way bearing 1023 is configured to allow the drive shaft 1021a to drive the second head 1012b to drive the first head 1012a to move relative to the equipment main body 13 when the drive shaft 1021a rotates in the first direction, and is configured to prevent the drive shaft 1021a from driving the second head 1012b when the drive shaft 1021a rotates in the second direction. Among them, the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0141] The one-way bearing 1023 means that it can allow the shaft member sleeved therein to rotate in one direction, and can lock the shaft member in the other direction opposite to one direction, thereby preventing the shaft member from rotating in the other direction. Among them, the one-way bearing 1023 is also called an overrunning clutch. A plurality of rollers, needle rollers or balls are installed in the one-way bearing 1023. The shape of the rolling seat of the one-way bearing 1023 only allows the rollers, needle rollers or balls therein to roll in one direction, and can generate great resistance in the other direction, thereby achieving the above purpose.

[0142] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 102 further includes a camshaft 1022 and a cam 1024. The camshaft 1022 is in transmission connection with the drive shaft 1021a, and the cam 1024 is sleeved on the camshaft 1022 through a one-way bearing 1023. The second head 1012b is rotatably connected to the camshaft 1022, and the rotation axis of the second head 1012b is spaced from the rotation axis of the camshaft 1022.

[0143] The cam 1024 refers to a wheel body provided with a convex portion 1024a, wherein the convex portion 1024a is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the wheel body. When the cam 1024 rotates around its central axis, the convex portion 1024a is synchronously driven to rotate axially. Therefore, the position of the convex portion 1024a changes with the rotation of the wheel body.

[0144] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first direction may be the counterclockwise direction, and the second direction may be the clockwise direction. Refer to Figures 29 through 31 As shown, in one aspect, the drive shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 to rotate in the first direction, and the one-way bearing 1023 allows the drive shaft 1021a to drive the camshaft 1022 in the first direction. Therefore, the camshaft 1022 can drive the cam 1024 to rotate in the first direction. The second head 1012b is in transmission connection with the camshaft 1022, and the rotation axis of the second head 1012b is spaced from the rotation axis of the camshaft 1022. Then, the second head 1012b is driven by the camshaft 1022, and the second head 1012b moves around the central axis of the cam 1024. The movement track of the second head 1012b is located outside the central axis of the cam 1024. At this time, the triangular self-locking formed by the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a is broken, and the first swing member 1011 rotates downward relative to the device main body 13, and the lifting assembly 102 is switched from the lifting position to the working position.

[0145] During the working process between, for example, Figure 31 and Figure 32 : After the lifting assembly 102 is switched to the working position, the drive shaft 1021a is switched to rotate in the second direction, and the drive shaft 1021a drives the cleaning member to perform a cleaning operation in the second direction. During this process, the drive shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 to rotate in the second direction, and the one-way bearing 1023 does not allow the drive shaft 1021a to drive the camshaft 1022 in the second direction. Therefore, the camshaft 1022 cannot drive the cam 1024 to rotate in the second direction. At this time, the cam 1024 is in a substantially natural state under the action of gravity, and its convex portion 1024a is located at the lowermost end. After the cleaning member completes the cleaning work, the drive shaft 1021a stops rotating in the second direction and switches the rotation direction to rotate in the first direction.

[0146] Refer to Figure 32As shown, on the other hand, the driving shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 again along the first direction, the camshaft 1022 drives the cam 1024, the cam 1024 drives the second head 1012b of the second swinging member 1012 to move, and the second head 1012b drives the first head 1012a to start moving toward the above-mentioned extreme position of the slide structure 131, and when the driving shaft 1021a stops rotating along the first direction, the rotation angle of the cam 1024 is fixed, and the first head 1012a just moves to the above-mentioned extreme position of the slide structure 131, that is, the driving shaft 1021a drives the lifting assembly 102 to switch from the working position to the lifting position again, and after lifting, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b and the first end 1011a re-form a triangle for self-locking, thereby keeping the lifting assembly 102 in the lifting position.

[0147] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 102 further includes an elastic member 1028b, which is disposed beside the cam 1024 and extends radially along the cam 1024. The cam 1024 is configured such that the first head 1012a is located in the lifting position when its protrusion 1024a abuts against the elastic member 1028b and remains fixed, and is configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 1028b under the driving of the driving shaft 1021a along the first direction, and drive the first head 1012a to leave the lifting position through the second head 1012b, and is configured to continue to rotate under the driving of the driving shaft 1021a along the first direction and abut against the elastic member 1028b again, and drive the first head 1012a to move to the lifting position again through the second head 1012b.

[0148] The elastic member 1028b serves to keep the protrusion 1024a of the cam 1024 in a fixed position through elastic force, and the cam 1024 can overcome the elastic force and leave the fixed position when the driving shaft 1021a is driven along the first direction.

[0149] Specifically, refer to Figures 14 through 19As shown, the lifting assembly 102 includes a lifting frame body 1027, and all the components in the lifting assembly 102 that can be driven to lift by the swinging assembly 101 are arranged on the lifting frame body 1027. A limiting assembly 1028 is arranged on the lifting frame body 1027. The limiting assembly 1028 includes a limiting bracket 1028d and an elastic member 1028b. The limiting bracket 1028d can be fixed to the lifting frame body 1027 by a screw member. The limiting bracket 1028d is provided with an opening 1028c facing the cam 1024. A limiting member 1028a is movably arranged on the opening 1028c. A part of the limiting member 1028a is arranged inside the limiting bracket 1028d, and another part of the limiting member 1028a is arranged outside the limiting bracket 1028d. The elastic member 1028b is movably arranged inside the elastic member 1028b, and the elastic member 1028b is sleeved on the part of the limiting member 1028a located inside the limiting bracket 1028d. The limiting member 1028a can move inwards or outwards along the opening 1028c, and the limiting member 1028a can compress or relax the elastic member 1028b.

[0150] The above only provides an optional installation method for the elastic member 1028b. The elastic member 1028b can be assembled in other ways, and the present embodiment does not specifically limit the assembly method of the elastic member 1028b.

[0151] Refer to Figure 29 As shown, when in the lifting position, the convex portion 1024a of the cam 1024 just abuts against the limiting member 1028a. The limiting member 1028a forms a support for the convex portion 1024a by the elastic force provided by the elastic member 1028b, so that the convex portion 1024a is kept in this position, that is, the cam 1024 is kept at this angle. At this time, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b and the first end 1011a form a triangular self-locking to keep the lifting assembly 102 in the lifting position.

[0152] Refer to Figures 29 through 31As shown, in one aspect, the drive shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 to rotate in the first direction. The camshaft 1022 can drive the cam 1024 to rotate in the first direction. The convex portion 1024a of the cam 1024 rotates in the first direction against the elastic force of the elastic member 1028b. The second head 1012b is driven by the camshaft 1022, causing the second head 1012b to move around the central axis of the cam 1024. The movement trajectory of the second head 1012b is located outside the central axis of the cam 1024. At this time, the triangular self-locking formed by the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a is broken, and the first swing member 1011 rotates downward relative to the device body 13, and the lifting assembly 102 is switched from the lifting position to the working position. Among them, after the convex portion 1024a of the cam 1024 passes over the limiting member 1028a, the elastic member 1028b returns to its original position.

[0153] During the working process between, for example Figure 31 and Figure 32 is as follows: After the lifting assembly 102 is switched to the working position, the drive shaft 1021a is switched to rotate in the second direction, and the drive shaft 1021a drives the cleaning member to perform cleaning work in the second direction. During this process, the elastic member 1028b returns to its original position and remains in the original position. The cam 1024 is in a substantially natural state under the action of gravity, and its convex portion 1024a is located at the lowermost end.

[0154] Referring to Figure 32 As shown, in another aspect, the drive shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 again in the first direction. The camshaft 1022 drives the cam 1024 to rotate back to the position where the limiting member 1028a is located in the first direction and re-abuts against the limiting member 1028a. The limiting member 1028a supports the convex portion 1024a again through the elastic force provided by the elastic member 1028b, so that the convex portion 1024a is restricted again. During this process, the cam 1024 drives the second head 1012b of the second swing member 1012 to move. The second head 1012b drives the first head 1012a to start moving towards the above-mentioned limit position of the slideway structure 131. When the drive shaft 1021a stops rotating in the first direction, the rotation angle of the cam 1024 is fixed, and the first head 1012a just moves to the above-mentioned limit position of the slideway structure 131, that is, the drive shaft 1021a drives the lifting assembly 102 to switch from the working position to the lifting position again, and after lifting, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b, and the first end 1011a form a triangle again to self-lock, thereby keeping the lifting assembly 102 in the lifted position.

[0155] In the previous embodiment, the elastic member 1028b and the limiting member 1028a are dynamic components. In some other embodiments, the limiting assembly 1028 can be replaced by a limiting structure 1029 fixed relative to the lifting frame body. In these two embodiments, the descending driving processes of the lifting assembly 102 are different. In the embodiment using the elastic member 1028b and the limiting member 1028a, the driving shaft 1021a provides power in the first direction, thereby driving the lifting assembly 102 to switch from the lifting position to the working position. In the embodiment using the limiting structure 1029, the driving shaft 1021a rotates in the second direction to provide an inertial force, and the inertial force serves as the driving force, thereby driving the lifting assembly 102 to switch from the lifting position to the working position. In these two embodiments, the ascending driving processes of the lifting assembly 102 are the same.

[0156] In some other embodiments, the lifting assembly 102 further includes a limiting structure 1029. The limiting structure 1029 is arranged beside the cam 1024, and the position of the limiting structure 1029 relative to the cam 1024 is fixed. The cam 1024 is configured such that when its convex portion 1024a abuts against the limiting structure 1029 and remains fixed, the first head 1012a is located at the lifting position. And when the driving shaft 1021a rotates in the second direction, the cam 1024 is driven by the inertial force to disengage from the limiting structure 1029 in the second direction, so that the cam 1024 drives the first head 1012a to disengage from the lifting position through the second head 1012b. And when driven by the driving shaft 1021a in the first direction, the cam 1024 rotates in the reverse direction and abuts against the limiting structure 1029 again, and drives the first head 1012a to move back to the lifting position through the second head 1012b.

[0157] Refer to Figure 25 As shown, when in the lifting position, the convex portion 1024a of the cam 1024 just abuts against the limiting structure 1029. The limiting structure 1029 is stationary, and the limiting structure 1029 forms a support for the convex portion 1024a, so that the convex portion 1024a is kept in this position, that is, the cam 1024 is kept at this angle. At this time, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b and the first end portion 1011a form a triangular self-locking to keep the lifting assembly 102 in the lifting position.

[0158] Refer to Figures 25 through 27As shown, in one aspect, the driving shaft 1021a drives the camshaft 1022 to rotate along the second direction, and the camshaft 1022 cannot drive the cam 1024 to rotate along the second direction, but can provide driving force through the inertia force generated when the driving shaft 1021a is started, and the inertia force drives the cam 1024 to rotate along the second direction, and the second head 1012b is driven by the camshaft 1022 to move around the central axis of the cam 1024, and the movement trajectory of the second head 1012b is located outside the central axis of the cam 1024. At this time, the triangular self-locking formed by the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b and the first end 1011a is broken, the first swinging member 1011 rotates downward relative to the device body 13, and the lifting assembly 102 switches from the lifting position to the working position.

[0159] In between Figure 27 and Figure 28 The working process is as follows: the lifting assembly 102 switches to the working position and the driving shaft 1021a continues to rotate in the second direction, and the driving shaft 1021a drives the cleaning member in the second direction to perform cleaning. During this process, the cam 1024 is in a substantially natural state due to gravity, and its convex portion 1024a is located at the lowest end.

[0160] Reference Figure 28 As shown, on the other hand, after the cleaning member completes the cleaning work, the driving shaft 1021a switches the rotation direction and switches from the second direction to the first direction, and re-drives the camshaft 1022. The camshaft 1022 drives the cam 1024 to rotate back along the first direction to the position of the limiting member 1028a, and re-abuts against the limiting structure 1029. The limiting structure 1029 re-supports the protrusion 1024a so that the protrusion 1024a is restricted again. During this process, the cam 1024 drives the second head 1012b of the second swinging member 1012 to move, and the second head 1012b drives the first head 1012a to start moving toward the above-mentioned extreme position of the slide structure 131. When the driving shaft 1021a stops rotating along the first direction, the rotation angle of the cam 1024 is fixed, and the first head 1012a just moves to the above-mentioned extreme position of the slide structure 131, that is, the driving shaft 1021a drives the lifting assembly 102 from the working position to the lifting position again, and after lifting, the first head 1012a, the second head 1012b and the first end 1011a re-form a triangle for self-locking, thereby keeping the lifting assembly 102 in the lifting position.

[0161] In some embodiments, the drive shaft 1021a, the cam shaft 1022 and the cleaning member are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The drive shaft 1021a, the cam shaft 1022 and the cleaning member are sequentially connected in transmission. Alternatively, the cam shaft 1022 and the cleaning member are respectively connected in transmission to the drive shaft 1021a.

[0162] As Figure 12 、 Figures 25 through 32 shown, the drive shaft 1021a, the camshaft 1022, and the cleaning member are arranged in parallel at intervals, and the drive shaft 1021a, the camshaft 1022, and the cleaning member are located at the three vertices of a triangle. The drive shaft 1021a and the camshaft 1022 are drivingly connected by a first transmission belt 1025, and the camshaft 1022 and the cleaning member are drivingly connected by a second transmission belt 1026.

[0163] In other embodiments, the camshaft 1022 and the cleaning member are respectively drivingly connected to the drive shaft 1021a. For example, the drive shaft 1021a and the camshaft 1022 are drivingly connected by a first transmission belt 1025, the drive shaft 1021a and the cleaning member are drivingly connected by a second transmission belt 1026, and there is no driving connection between the cleaning member and the camshaft 1022.

[0164] As Figure 14 shown, the lifting frame 1027 is configured with a transmission box 1027a, and the parts where the drive shaft 1021a, the camshaft 1022, and the cleaning member are sequentially drivingly connected are arranged in the transmission box 1027a, and transmission components such as support bearings and synchronous pulleys can be configured therein. The transmission box 1027a can be provided with a transmission cover 1027b, and through the installation or detachment of the transmission cover 1027b, the driving connection part can be repaired or replaced.

[0165] The second swing member 1012 may include a main connecting member, the main connecting member has a first head 1012a and a second head 1012b, two rollers 1012c are installed on the first head 1012a, the two rollers 1012c are coaxially connected, the axes of the two rollers 1012c are consistent with the axis of the first head 1012a, the two rollers 1012c can be fixed to the first head 1012a by screws, and the two rollers 1012c can roll in the slideway structure 131. The second head 1012b can be fixed to a part of the convex portion 1024a away from its central axis by a spacer screw 1012d.

[0166] The above only provides an optional installation method for the second swing member 1012, and the second swing member 1012 can be assembled in other ways, and the embodiment does not specifically limit the assembly method of the second swing member 1012.

[0167] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the lifting frame body 1027 of the lifting assembly 102 in the first lifting mechanism 111 includes a first accommodating structure 1027c and a first channel structure 1027d. The device main body 13 includes a dust box structure. The first accommodating structure 1027c, the first channel structure 1027d, and the dust box structure are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The first accommodating structure 1027c has a first accommodating cavity, and the first accommodating cavity has a top opening and a bottom opening that are open on both sides in the height direction. The first channel structure 1027d communicates with the dust box structure and the top opening, and the first channel structure 1027d is elastic to allow the height of the first accommodating structure 1027c relative to the dust box structure to be variable; the first cleaning member 112 is rotatably arranged in the first accommodating cavity and partially extends out of the bottom opening.

[0168] Among them, the dust box structure is used to collect the garbage cleaned by the first cleaning member 112, such as fallen dust, etc. The dust box structure is fixed relative to the device main body 13, while the first cleaning member 112 can be lifted relative to the device main body 13. Therefore, the channel between the dust box structure and the first cleaning member 112 needs to be designed to be elastic and can deform with the lifting of the first cleaning member 112 to ensure that the first cleaning member 112 can be lifted normally.

[0169] In some embodiments, the lifting frame body 1027 of the lifting assembly 102 in the first lifting mechanism 111 includes a second accommodating structure 1027e and a second channel structure 1027f. The device main body 13 includes a sewage tank. The second accommodating structure 1027e, the second channel structure 1027f, and the sewage tank are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The second accommodating structure 1027e has a second accommodating cavity, and the second accommodating cavity has an upper opening and a lower opening that are open on both sides in the height direction. The second channel structure 1027f communicates with the sewage tank and the upper opening, and the second channel structure 1027f is elastic to allow the height of the second accommodating structure 1027e relative to the sewage tank to be variable; the second cleaning member 122 is rotatably arranged in the second accommodating cavity and partially extends out of the lower opening.

[0170] Among them, the sewage tank is used to collect the sewage generated by the cleaning of the second cleaning member 122. The sewage tank is fixed relative to the device main body 13, while the second cleaning member 122 can be lifted relative to the device main body 13. Therefore, the channel between the sewage tank and the second cleaning member 122 needs to be designed to be elastic and can deform with the lifting of the second cleaning member 122 to ensure that the second cleaning member 122 can be lifted normally.

[0171] In some embodiments, the device main body 13 is provided with a cleaning mode switching switch and a control unit; among them, the cleaning mode switching switch can be arranged on the outer side wall of the device main body 13 and can be a push-button or a push-type mechanism. The user can select the mode to be switched through the cleaning mode switching switch by himself.

[0172] The cleaning mode switching switch is used to be triggered and generate a mode switching signal.

[0173] The control unit is used to obtain a mode switching signal and determine the working mode to be switched according to the mode switching signal, and is used to obtain the current working mode of the cleaning device 10 to control at least one of the first cleaning member 112 and the second cleaning member 122 to complete a switch between the lifting position and the working position according to the current working mode, thereby switching to the working mode to be switched.

[0174] The control unit is also used to receive a mode switching signal, and determine whether to switch the cleaning member from the working position to the lifted position based on the mode switching signal, and generate a second drive instruction when it is determined that the cleaning member needs to be switched from the working position to the lifted position, and control the drive member 1021 to drive the cleaning member from the working position to the lifted position along a second direction based on the second drive instruction.

The detection element 132 is used to detect whether the cleaning member is in the lifting position, and generates a lifting position signal when the cleaning member is detected to be in the lifting position, and sends the lifting position signal to the control unit; the control unit is used to receive the mode switching signal and the lifting position signal, and judge whether to switch the cleaning member from the lifting position to the working position according to the mode switching signal and the lifting position signal, and when it is judged that the cleaning member needs to be switched from the lifting position to the working position, the control unit generates a first driving instruction and increases the current power of the driving member 1021 according to the first driving instruction and controls the driving member 1021 to drive the cleaning member out of the lifting position along the first direction.

[0177] The detection element 132 is also used to detect whether the cleaning member is in the lifted position, and generates a lift-off signal when it detects that the cleaning member has left the lifted position, and sends the lift-off signal to the control unit; the control unit is also used to receive the lift-off signal and stop driving the driving member 1021 according to the lift-off signal, allowing the cleaning member to descend to the working position using gravity.

For example, the magnetic member can be set on the above-mentioned lifting frame 1027. The detection element 132 is a Hall element, and the detection element 132 can be set on the device body 13.

[0179] When the lifting assembly 102 and the cleaning member therein switch from the working position to the lifting position and approach the detection element 132, the detection element 132 outputs a signal indicating that the lifting is in place by sensing the magnetic field of the magnetic member. Also, when the lifting assembly 102 and the cleaning member therein switch from the lifting position to the working position and move away from the detection element 132, the detection element 132 outputs a signal indicating that the lifting is disengaged by sensing the magnetic field of the magnetic member.

[0180] In some other embodiments, the detection element 132 is a pressure sensing element. The detection element 132 is disposed on the device main body 13 and directly above the lifting assembly 102. When the lifting assembly 102 and the cleaning member therein switch from the working position to the lifting position and press against the detection element 132, the detection element 132 outputs a signal indicating that the lifting is in place by sensing whether there is a pressing force and determining that there is a pressing force. When the cleaning member switches from the lifting position to the working position and moves away from the detection element 132, the detection element 132 outputs a signal indicating that the lifting is disengaged by sensing whether there is a pressing force and determining that there is no pressing force.
