Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, and particularly relates to a mop mechanism, a mop control system and a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] At present, cleaning devices (such as floor sweepers, mops, floor scrubbers, etc.) have become important tools for modern household cleaning. Cleaning devices have the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, high efficiency, etc., can significantly improve cleaning efficiency, reduce labor costs and time, and are especially suitable for large-area cleaning needs.

[0003] In existing cleaning devices, the pipeline design inside the mop mechanism generally adopts a straight structure or a simple broken line structure. When the mop assembly moves telescopically relative to the base, the pipeline will move along with the mop assembly. The deformation of the pipeline is large and the moving distance is long, which easily causes pipeline fatigue, resulting in problems such as water leakage, poor reliability, and short service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a mop mechanism, a mop control system and a cleaning device to solve the problems of easy fatigue, poor reliability and short service life of the pipeline structure in existing cleaning devices.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a mop mechanism applied to a cleaning device, the cleaning device includes a base, and the mop mechanism includes:

[0006] A mop assembly is arranged on the base, and the mop assembly can move telescopically relative to the base;

[0007] A pipeline includes a water inlet and a water outlet, the axial directions of the water inlet and the water outlet are parallel, and the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the same direction. One of the water inlet and the water outlet is connected to the base, and the other is connected to the mop assembly.

[0008] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of the present invention, the axial directions of the water inlet and the water outlet of the pipeline are arranged in parallel, and the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the same direction, so that the pipeline is arranged in a U shape. The structure of this pipeline is more compact, easy to set, can significantly save the setting space, and improve the space utilization rate of the mop mechanism. Moreover, when this pipeline moves along with the mop assembly, it is not easy to rub and collide with other structures, reducing the movement resistance and energy consumption of the pipeline, reducing the movement noise, improving the operation efficiency of the device, and can reduce the risk of pipeline rupture and water leakage, improving the structural reliability. In addition, when this pipeline moves along with the mop assembly, the moving distance is short and the deformation is small, the pipeline is not easy to produce fatigue, can improve the service life of the pipeline, improve the overall performance of the mop mechanism, and enhance the user experience.

This pipeline layout makes full use of the internal structural space of the mop mechanism, reduces the occupation of the installation space, and greatly improves the space utilization rate. At the same time, this pipeline layout is beneficial to reducing the influence of the telescopic movement of the mop assembly on the deformation of the pipeline, reducing the pipeline deformation amount, and ensuring the service life of the pipeline.

[0129] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0130] Inside the cleaning device, there are pipelines, including a clean water pipe and a sewage pipe. After both ends of the pipelines are connected to the corresponding structures, the axial directions of the water inlet and outlet of the pipelines are perpendicular to each other. This pipeline layout structure is loose and occupies a large installation space. Moreover, when the mop assembly moves telescopically relative to the base, one end of the pipeline will move telescopically with the mop assembly, and the pipeline is prone to friction and collision with other structures, which will not only cause problems such as structural damage or pipeline rupture and water leakage, but also generate equipment noise. In addition, as the position of the mop assembly changes, the pipeline will have multiple bends with large curvatures, resulting in excessive deformation of the pipeline. The liquid inside the pipeline is prone to retention, affecting the cleanliness of the liquid inside the pipeline. Moreover, over time, the pipeline is prone to fatigue, increasing the risk of pipeline rupture and water leakage, affecting the service life of the pipeline, and causing inconvenience to users.

[0131] Based on this, the present invention provides a mop mechanism, a mop control system, and a cleaning device with a compact pipeline structure, small deformation, and high reliability.

[0132] The following combines Figures 1 - 30 , and describes embodiments of the mop mechanism, the mop control system, and the cleaning device of the present invention.

[0133] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, a mop mechanism is provided, which is applied to a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a base 1, and the mop mechanism includes: a mop assembly 2 and a pipeline. The mop assembly 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the mop assembly 2 can move telescopically relative to the base 1. The pipeline includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The axial directions of the water inlet and the water outlet are parallel, and the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the same direction. One of the water inlet and the water outlet is connected to the base 1, and the other is connected to the mop assembly 2.

[0134] In this mop mechanism, the axial directions of the water inlet and the water outlet of the pipeline are arranged in parallel, and the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the same direction, so that the pipeline is arranged in a U shape. The structure of this pipeline is more compact and easy to install, which can significantly save the installation space, provide more installation space for other structures of the mop mechanism, improve the space utilization rate of the mop mechanism, and is beneficial to reducing the volume and weight of the mop mechanism. Moreover, when this pipeline moves with the mop assembly 2, it is not easy to friction and collide with other structures, reducing the movement resistance and energy consumption of the pipeline, reducing the movement noise, improving the operation efficiency of the equipment, and reducing the risk of pipeline rupture and water leakage, improving the structural reliability. In addition, when this pipeline moves with the mop assembly 2, the moving distance is short and the deformation is small. The pipeline is not prone to fatigue, which can improve the service life of the pipeline, enhance the overall performance of the mop mechanism, and improve the user experience.

[0135] The mopping mechanism can be applied to cleaning devices such as floor sweepers, mopping machines, floor washing machines, or cleaning robots. The cleaning device has a base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 is arranged on the base 1. Specifically, the mopping assembly 2 is arranged at the bottom of the base 1.

[0136] The base 1 of the cleaning device has a certain structural strength and can support and arrange the mopping assembly 2, the telescopic assembly, the lifting assembly, etc. Usually, the base 1 is made of a waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength material to ensure the overall service life of the mopping mechanism. The base 1 is generally in a strip-like structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Taking the perspective of , the bottom of the base 1 faces the surface to be cleaned. According to the application scenarios of different cleaning devices, the surface to be cleaned can be the ground, the wall, etc. In this embodiment, the surface to be cleaned is taken as the ground for example.

[0137] To facilitate cleaning of corner areas such as the edges of walls, the mopping assembly 2 can move telescopically relative to the base 1 under the control of the telescopic assembly. When cleaning corner areas such as the edges of walls, the mopping assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1, making the mopping assembly 2 close to the corner area to achieve "edge cleaning" for effective cleaning of the corner area, significantly reducing the cleaning blind spots and greatly improving the cleaning effect. When there is no need to clean the corner area or after completing the "edge cleaning", the mopping assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 resets to continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0138] The mopping assembly 2 includes structures such as a housing 201, a roller mop, a sewage collection tank, and a scraping plate. Usually, there are two roller mops, and the sewage collection tank is arranged between the two roller mops. A scraping plate is arranged above the sewage collection tank, and both ends of the scraping plate are in contact with the two roller mops to scrape off the debris and sewage on the outer wall of the roller mop. These debris and sewage will fall into the sewage collection tank for collection for subsequent centralized cleaning. A sewage collection tank interface 19 and a scraping plate interface 20 are also arranged at the top of the housing 201. The sewage collection tank interface 19 is used to suck out the sewage to discharge the accumulated sewage in the sewage collection tank, and the scraping plate interface 20 is used to inject clean water to spray onto the roller mop to improve the cleaning effect.

[0139] The mopping mechanism includes at least one pipeline, which is used to transport clean water or sewage. The pipeline has a water inlet and a water outlet. Taking the pipeline transporting clean water as an example, the clean water enters the pipeline from the water inlet and then flows out of the pipeline from the water outlet. According to different requirements of the mopping mechanism, the mopping mechanism can include one, two, three, etc. pipelines.

[0140] In this embodiment, the pipeline is a cylindrical tubular structure. After the pipeline is assembled, the axial directions of its water inlet and water outlet are arranged in parallel, and the openings of the water inlet and water outlet face the same direction. This pipeline has only one bending part and is arranged in a U shape, reducing the deformation of the pipeline, making the pipeline structure more compact, and saving installation space. One of the water inlet and water outlet is connected to the base 1, and the other is connected to the mop assembly 2. During the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2, one of the water inlet and water outlet is fixed, and the other moves telescopically with the mop assembly 2. The pipeline arranged in a U shape occupies a small installation space, is not easily rubbed and collided with other structures, reduces the movement resistance and energy consumption of the pipeline, reduces the movement noise, improves the operation efficiency of the equipment, and can reduce the risk of pipeline rupture and leakage, improving the structural reliability. Moreover, when this pipeline moves with the mop assembly 2, the overall movement distance of the pipeline is short, there will be no excessive bending, the deformation is small, the pipeline is not easily fatigued, the service life of the pipeline can be improved, the overall performance of the mop mechanism is enhanced, and the user experience is improved.

[0141] It should be noted that the length of the pipeline should meet the requirements of the telescopic movement of the pipeline with the mop assembly 2. During the telescopic movement of the pipeline with the mop assembly 2, the length of the pipeline remains unchanged, only the shape of the pipeline changes.

[0142] Furthermore, the mop assembly 2 moves telescopically relative to the base 1 in the first plane, and the axial directions of the water inlet and water outlet are coplanar in the second plane, and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.

[0143] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figures 25 - 30 shown, in this embodiment, the mop assembly 2 moves telescopically relative to the base 1 in the first plane. According to different usage scenarios, the position of the surface to be cleaned is different, and correspondingly, the cleaning posture of the mop mechanism is also different. Taking the surface to be cleaned as the ground as an example, the first plane is the plane where the x-axis is located, that is, the horizontal plane, and the mop assembly 2 moves telescopically in the horizontal plane, as Figure 25 shown.

[0144] The axial directions of the water inlet and water outlet are parallel. Therefore, the axial directions of the water inlet and water outlet are in the same plane. In this embodiment, the axial directions of the water inlet and water outlet are coplanar in the second plane, and moreover, the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane. This pipeline layout makes full use of the structural space, reduces the occupation of the installation space, and greatly improves the space utilization rate. At the same time, this pipeline layout is beneficial to reducing the influence of the telescopic movement of the mop assembly on the deformation of the pipeline, reducing the pipeline deformation amount, and ensuring the service life of the pipeline. Moreover, it can also avoid the influence of the pipeline setting on the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2, improving the structural reliability.

[0145] Specifically, the second plane is a vertical plane, and one of the water inlet and the water outlet is located above the other. Taking the surface to be cleaned as the ground as an example, the second plane is the plane where the z-axis is located.

[0146] As Figures 27 - 30 shown, in this embodiment, the surface to be cleaned is the ground, the mop assembly 2 telescopically moves in the horizontal plane, and the axes of the water inlet and the water outlet are in the same vertical plane. Such a setting makes full use of the setting space of the mop mechanism in the vertical direction, makes the structural layout more reasonable, and further improves the utilization rate of the setting space.

[0147] According to the functions of different pipelines, one of the water inlet and the water outlet is located above the other. For example, for the clean water pipe, the water inlet is located above the water outlet, and for the sewage pipe, the water outlet is located above the water inlet.

[0148] Furthermore, the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the retracting movement direction of the mop assembly 2.

[0149] As Figure 4 shown, the retracting movement direction of the mop assembly 2 is the direction shown by the arrow b. Taking Figures 27 - 30 the perspective as an example, in this embodiment, the openings of the water inlet and the water outlet face the retracting movement direction of the mop assembly 2, that is, the open end of the U-shaped pipeline structure faces away from the extending movement direction of the mop assembly 2, so that the bent part of the pipeline is arranged close to the outside, avoiding interference from other structures and improving the reliability of pipeline connection. Moreover, this pipeline layout can avoid other structures of the mop mechanism and avoid structural interference, facilitating the installation of the pipeline.

[0150] Furthermore, the pipeline includes a first pipeline 16 and a second pipeline 17, the water inlet includes a first pipeline water inlet 1601 and a second pipeline water inlet 1701, the water outlet includes a first pipeline water outlet 1602 and a second pipeline water outlet 1702, the axes of the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the first pipeline water outlet 1602 are parallel and the openings face the same direction, and the axes of the second pipeline water inlet 1701 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are parallel and the openings face the same direction.

[0151] As Figure 25 shown, in this embodiment, the pipeline includes a first pipeline 16 and a second pipeline 17. Specifically, the first pipeline 16 is a clean water pipe for spraying clean water to the mop assembly 2 to improve the cleaning effect. The second pipeline 17 is a sewage pipe for recovering the sewage in the sewage collection box.

[0152] The water inlet includes a first pipeline water inlet 1601 and a second pipeline water inlet 1701, and the water outlet includes a first pipeline water outlet 1602 and a second pipeline water outlet 1702. The axes of the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the first pipeline water outlet 1602 are parallel and the openings face the same direction. The axes of the second pipeline water inlet 1701 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are parallel and the openings face the same direction.

[0153] The first pipeline 16 has a first pipeline water inlet 1601 and a first pipeline water outlet 1602. The first pipeline water inlet 1601 is communicated with an external water circuit, and the first pipeline water outlet 1602 is communicated with the dirt scraping plate interface 20. The clean water in the external water circuit flows through the first pipeline 16 to the dirt scraping plate and then is sprayed onto the mop assembly 2, improving the cleaning effect of the mop assembly 2.

[0154] The axes of the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the first pipeline water outlet 1602 are parallel and the openings face the same direction. The first pipeline 16 is integrally arranged in a U shape. This pipeline structure is more compact, easy to arrange, can significantly save the arrangement space, and improve the space utilization rate of the mop mechanism. The bent part of the U-shaped first pipeline 16 is the first pipeline bent part 1603. In this embodiment, the first pipeline bent part 1603 is arranged close to the outside. When the first pipeline water outlet 1602 moves telescopically together with the mop assembly 2, the deformation amount of the first pipeline 16 is smaller, the pipeline is not easy to generate fatigue, and the service life of the pipeline can be improved.

[0155] The second pipeline 17 has a second pipeline water inlet 1701 and a second pipeline water outlet 1702. The second pipeline water inlet 1701 is communicated with the sewage collecting tank interface 19, and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 is communicated with an external sewage collecting device. The sewage accumulated in the sewage collecting tank is discharged through the second pipeline 17.

[0156] The axes of the second pipeline water inlet 1701 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are parallel and the openings face the same direction. The second pipeline 17 is integrally arranged in a U shape. This pipeline structure is more compact, easy to arrange, can significantly save the arrangement space, and improve the space utilization rate of the mop mechanism. The bent part of the U-shaped second pipeline 17 is the second pipeline bent part 1703. In this embodiment, the second pipeline bent part 1703 is arranged close to the outside. When the second pipeline water inlet 1701 moves telescopically together with the mop assembly 2, the deformation amount of the second pipeline 17 is smaller, the pipeline is not easy to generate fatigue, and the service life of the pipeline can be improved.

[0157] Furthermore, the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 are arranged in parallel.

[0158] Such as Figure 25As shown, in this embodiment, the extension direction of the first pipeline 16 is consistent with the extension direction of the second pipeline 17, and the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 are arranged in parallel, and the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 form a double U-shaped pipeline structure, which reasonably utilizes the internal space of the mopping mechanism and improves space utilization.

[0159] like Figure 25 As shown, the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 are arranged along the y-axis direction to form a double U-shaped pipeline structure, so that the internal space of the mopping mechanism is more fully utilized and the space utilization rate is improved.

[0160] Furthermore, one of the water inlet and the water outlet is connected to the base 1 via an adapter 18 .

[0161] In this embodiment, the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are connected to the base 1 through the adapter 18 to facilitate the installation and connection of the pipeline, facilitate the pipeline setting, improve the assembly efficiency, ensure the sealing of the interface position, and improve the reliability of the pipeline structure.

[0162] Furthermore, the adapter 18 includes a first adapter part 1801 and a second adapter part 1802 which are interconnected, the first adapter part 1801 and the second adapter part 1802 are arranged at an angle, the first adapter part 1801 is arranged on the base 1, and the second adapter part 1802 is connected to one of the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0163] like Figure 25 As shown, in this embodiment, the adapter 18 includes a first adapter part 1801 and a second adapter part 1802 that are interconnected, and the first adapter part 1801 and the second adapter part 1802 are arranged at an angle. By changing the angle between the first adapter part 1801 and the second adapter part 1802, the extension direction of the pipeline can be easily adjusted, thereby improving the flexibility of pipeline arrangement. In order to save the arrangement space, in this embodiment, the first adapter part 1801 and the second adapter part 1802 are arranged at 90°.

[0164] In other embodiments, the angle between the adapter first portion 1801 and the adapter second portion 1802 may also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, such as 60°, 120°, etc.

[0165] Furthermore, the mop mechanism also includes a telescopic component, the mop component 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the mop component 2 can be telescopically moved and raised and lowered relative to the base 1; the telescopic component is arranged between the base 1 and the mop component 2, and the telescopic component drives the mop component 2 to telescopically move between a first position and a second position; the telescopic component includes a telescopic driving member 3, and the telescopic driving member 3 is used to apply an extension force or a retraction force to the mop component 2.

[0166] By setting the telescopic component to drive the mop component 2 to move telescopically relative to the base 1, the controllability of the telescopic movement of the mop component 2 is improved, ensuring the stability of the telescopic movement of the mop component 2.

[0167] The telescopic component is arranged between the base 1 and the mop component 2 for convenient structural layout, so that the telescopic component drives the mop component 2 to move telescopically. Specifically, the telescopic component drives the mop component 2 to move telescopically between a first position and a second position. The extending movement direction of the mop component 2 is as Figure 3 shown by the arrow a in Figure 4 and the retracting movement direction of the mop component 2 is as

[0168] shown by the arrow b in

[0169] In this embodiment, the first position refers to the maximum position where the mop component 2 extends relative to the base 1, that is, the position where the extension is in place, and at this time, the mop component 2 cannot extend relative to the base 1 any further. The second position refers to the maximum position where the mop component 2 retracts relative to the base 1, that is, the position where the retraction is in place, and at this time, the mop component 2 cannot retract relative to the base 1 any further.

[0169] In this embodiment, the telescopic component includes a telescopic driving member 3, and the telescopic driving member 3 is used to apply an extending force or a retracting force to the mop component 2, thereby providing power for the telescopic movement of the mop component 2. Specifically, the telescopic driving member 3 is a motor, and by the forward or reverse rotation of the motor, an extending force or a retracting force is applied to the mop component 2.

[0170] In other embodiments, the telescopic driving member 3 can also be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0171] Furthermore, the telescopic component further includes a first transmission member 6 and a second transmission member 7 that cooperate with each other. The first transmission member 6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic driving member 3 and rotates with the output end. The second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop component 2, and the telescopic driving member 3 drives the mop component 2 to move through the first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7.

[0172] As Figure 7 shown, the telescopic component further includes a first transmission member 6 and a second transmission member 7. The first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7 cooperate with each other to transmit the extending force and the retracting force of the telescopic driving member 3 to the mop component 2. In this embodiment, the first transmission member 6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic driving member 3 and rotates with the output end. The second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop component 2, and the telescopic driving member 3 drives the mop component 2 to move through the first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7.

[0173] Specifically, the first transmission member 6 is a gear, and the second transmission member 7 is a rack. The length direction of the rack is arranged along the telescopic direction of the mop assembly 2, and the gear meshes with the rack. The gear shaft of the first transmission member 6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic driving member 3, so that the first transmission member 6 can rotate together with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3. The first transmission member 6 meshes with the second transmission member 7, and the length dimension of the second transmission member 7 is related to the telescopic distance of the mop assembly 2 (i.e., the distance between the first position and the second position). The overall structure of this telescopic assembly is relatively simple, and the cooperation between the gear and the rack can improve the transmission efficiency. While making the structure of the mop mechanism compact, it ensures the moving control effect of the mop assembly 2 and guarantees the reliability of the moving control of the mop assembly 2.

[0174] When the first transmission member 6 rotates with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3, the first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the length direction (i.e., the telescopic direction). And since the second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop assembly 2, it further drives the mop assembly 2 to move along the telescopic direction, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0175] Optionally, a guide rail structure is provided between the base 1 and the second transmission member 7 to define the moving direction of the second transmission member 7, and further define the telescopic moving direction of the mop assembly 2, further improving the reliability of the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0176] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the guide rail structure includes a slideway 101. The extending direction of the slideway 101 is consistent with the telescopic moving direction of the mop assembly 2. The slideway 101 is arranged on one of the base 1 and the second transmission member 7. Correspondingly, the other of the base 1 and the second transmission member 7 is provided with a sliding groove 701. In this embodiment, the slideway 101 is arranged on the surface of the base 1 facing the second transmission member 7, and the slideway 101 protrudes upward from the base 1. The sliding groove 701 is arranged on the surface of the second transmission member 7 facing the base 1. The slideway 101 is adapted to be embedded in the sliding groove 701, and the sliding groove 701 cooperates with the slideway 101 to make the second transmission member 7 move along the extending direction of the slideway 101 (i.e., the telescopic moving direction).

[0177] In other embodiments, the slideway 101 can also be arranged on the surface of the second transmission member 7 facing the base 1, and the sliding groove 701 is arranged on the surface of the base 1 facing the second transmission member 7, as long as the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701 can cooperate.

[0178] As the second transmission member 7 and the mopping assembly 2 move telescopically, relative friction will occur between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701. To reduce wear between components, a friction plate 12 is provided between the second transmission member 7 and the base 1. The shape of the friction plate 12 is adapted to the shapes of the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701, and the friction plate 12 is fixed to one of the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701. In this embodiment, the friction plate 12 is fixed to the sliding groove 701, which can enhance the structural strength of the second transmission member 7, while reducing the friction between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701, reducing wear, and improving the service life.

[0179] Optionally, a groove 102 is provided on the surface of the slideway 101 facing the sliding groove 701, as Figure 9 shown. The groove 102 is recessed in a direction away from the sliding groove 701. At this time, only the two side edges of the groove 102 are in contact with the sliding groove 701, thereby reducing the contact area between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701, and further reducing the friction between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701, further improving the service life and reliability of the components.

[0180] In this embodiment, the two side edges of the groove 102 are in an arc structure, so that the contact between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701 is a surface-line contact, so as to minimize the contact area between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701 and reduce the friction between the slideway 101 and the sliding groove 701.

[0181] Furthermore, the mopping assembly 2 can also move up and down relative to the base 1; the mopping mechanism further includes a lifting assembly, and the lifting assembly is arranged between the base 1 and the mopping assembly 2, and the lifting assembly drives the mopping assembly 2 to move up and down between a second position and a third position.

[0182] In order to achieve obstacle avoidance, the mopping assembly 2 can move up and down relative to the base 1 under the control of the lifting assembly. When the cleaning device needs to return to the base station for cleaning or when the mopping assembly 2 needs to avoid certain objects (such as carpets), the mopping assembly 2 rises relative to the base 1 to avoid secondary pollution of the cleaned ground by the mopping assembly 2, or to avoid contamination of objects such as carpets by the mopping assembly 2, making the cleaning process more intelligent. After the cleaning device returns to the base station or after passing over certain objects, the mopping assembly 2 descends relative to the base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 can be cleaned or continue to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0183] The lifting assembly is arranged between the base 1 and the mopping assembly 2 for convenient structural arrangement, so that the lifting assembly drives the mopping assembly 2 to move up and down. Specifically, the lifting assembly drives the mopping assembly 2 to move up and down between a second position and a third position.

[0184] In this embodiment, the third position refers to the maximum position where the mopping component 2 rises relative to the base 1, that is, the position where it rises in place, and at this time, the mopping component 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. It should be noted that the second position is also the position where the mopping component 2 descends in place.

[0185] Furthermore, when the mopping component 2 is in the second position, the lifting component converts the retracting force into an upward force to drive the mopping component 2 to rise; when the mopping component 2 is in the third position, the lifting component converts the extending force into a downward force to drive the mopping component 2 to descend.

[0186] In this embodiment, the power for the lifting component to drive the mopping component 2 to move up and down comes from the telescopic component. Specifically, the power for the lifting component to drive the mopping component 2 to move up and down comes from the telescopic driving member 3 of the telescopic component. That is to say, the telescopic driving member 3 also provides power for the lifting component at the same time. When the mopping component 2 is in the second position, the lifting component converts the retracting force applied by the telescopic driving member 3 into an upward force to drive the mopping component 2 to rise. When the mopping component 2 is in the third position, the lifting component converts the extending force applied by the telescopic driving member 3 into a downward force to drive the mopping component 2 to descend.

[0187] Through the cooperation of the above-mentioned telescopic component and the lifting component, it is realized that by setting one driving member, that is, the telescopic driving member 3, the mopping component 2 can be driven to perform four motion modes: extending, retracting, rising, and descending, which greatly simplifies the driving structure of the mopping mechanism, significantly improves the reliability of the driving structure of the mopping component 2, can ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment adopting this mopping mechanism, and significantly improves the user experience.

[0188] Furthermore, the lifting component includes a conversion member 4. One end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the telescopic component, and the other end is hinged to the mopping component 2. The conversion member 4 converts the retracting force into an upward force or converts the extending force into a downward force by rotating.

[0189] As Figures 10 - 14 shown, the lifting component includes a conversion member 4 (or called a crank). The conversion member 4 has two connection ends, one of which is hinged to the telescopic component and the other end is hinged to the mopping component 2. Specifically, one end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the telescopic component through the first hinge shaft 1301, and the other end is hinged to the mopping component 2 through the second hinge shaft 1302.

[0190] Specifically, one end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the second transmission member 7 through the first hinge shaft 1301. This end and the first hinge shaft 1301 can move along the telescopic direction together with the second transmission member 7, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2. In addition, the mop assembly 2 has a housing 201. A part of the structure of the housing 201 extends upward and is hinged to the other end of the conversion member 4 through the second hinge shaft 1302, so as to facilitate the hinging of the mop assembly 2 and the other end of the conversion member 4. The housing 201 and the second hinge shaft 1302 can move up and down together with the other end of the conversion member 4, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0191] During the process that the telescopic driving member 3 applies an indentation force to drive the mop assembly 2 to move inwards, when the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to move inwards relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply the indentation force, and the conversion member 4 rotates, and then converts the indentation force into an upward force to drive the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0192] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 begins to apply an extension force, and the conversion member 4 rotates, and then converts the extension force into a downward force to drive the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0193] Through the rotation of the conversion member 4, the coordinated cooperation between the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly is realized. The power sources of both the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly are the telescopic driving member 3, which greatly simplifies the driving structure of the mop mechanism and significantly improves the reliability of the mop mechanism.

[0194] As Figure 3 shown, in order to enable the mop assembly 2 to lift more smoothly, two sets of lifting assemblies are provided, and the two sets of lifting assemblies are arranged at an interval. One set of lifting assemblies is relatively close to the mop driving assembly 11 provided on the mop assembly 2, and the other set of lifting assemblies is relatively far from the mop driving assembly 11.

[0195] Furthermore, the mop mechanism further includes a cover body 8. The cover body 8 is arranged on the base 1, and the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly are arranged between the cover body 8 and the base 1.

[0196] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the cover body 8 is arranged on the upper part of the base 1, and the cover body 8 is connected to the upper surface of the base 1. An installation space is formed between the cover body 8 and the base 1. The telescopic component and the lifting component are arranged in this installation space. The cover body 8 can protect the telescopic component and the lifting component, so that other external structural components will not interfere with or affect the operation of the telescopic component and the lifting component, further improving the reliability of the mopping mechanism and ensuring the service life of the mopping mechanism. In addition, by providing the cover body 8, it is also convenient to set and install related structures such as the telescopic component and the lifting component, facilitating the structural layout.

[0197] Further, one of the water inlet and the water outlet is connected to the base 1 through an adapter 18, and the adapter 18 is arranged on the cover body 8.

[0198] In this embodiment, the adapter 18 is arranged on the cover body 8, making full use of the installation space on the cover body 8 and improving the space utilization rate of the mopping mechanism.

[0199] Specifically, the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are respectively connected to an adapter 18, and the two adapters 18 are arranged side by side on the cover body 8 to achieve the indirect connection between the first pipeline water inlet 1601, the second pipeline water outlet 1702 and the base 1. During the telescopic process of the mopping component 2, the first pipeline water inlet 1601 and the second pipeline water outlet 1702 are fixed, while the first pipeline water outlet 1602 and the second pipeline water inlet 1701 move telescopically together with the mopping component 2.

[0200] Further, there is an avoidance space 703 on the second transmission member 7, and the pipeline is arranged through the avoidance space 703.

[0201] As Figure 25 shown, an avoidance space 703 is arranged on the second transmission member 7. The avoidance space 703 is a through-hole structure, and both the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 can pass through the avoidance space 703 to achieve the connection of the pipeline.

[0202] In addition, since a friction plate 12 is also arranged at the bottom of the second transmission member 7, correspondingly, an avoidance through-hole is also arranged on the friction plate 12 to facilitate the passing of the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17.

[0203] Further, the lifting component further includes an abutting member 5. The abutting member 5 is connected to the base 1. The conversion member 4 rotates by abutting against the abutting member 5 to convert the retracting acting force into an upward acting force, or convert the extending acting force into a downward acting force.

[0204] As Figures 10 - 14As shown in the figure, the lifting assembly further includes an abutting member 5, and the abutting member 5 is connected to the base 1. When the mopping assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply a retracting force, and the conversion member 4 abuts against the abutting member 5, causing the conversion member 4 to rotate, converting the retracting force into an upward force, and driving the mopping assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. The cooperation between the conversion member 4 and the abutting member 5 constitutes a crank - connecting rod structure.

[0205] When the mopping assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 begins to apply an extending force, and the conversion member 4 abuts against the abutting member 5, causing the conversion member 4 to rotate, converting the extending force into a downward force, and driving the mopping assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0206] In this embodiment, the abutting member 5 is indirectly connected to the base 1. The abutting member 5 is disposed on the cover 8, and the abutting member 5 protrudes from the side of the cover 8 facing the mopping assembly 2, so as to facilitate the abutting and cooperation between the conversion member 4 and the abutting member 5. Optionally, the abutting member 5 and the cover 8 are integrally formed.

[0207] Further, the conversion member 4 has a first contact portion 401 and a second contact portion 402. When the mopping assembly 2 is in the second position, the first contact portion 401 abuts against the abutting member 5, and the conversion member 4 rotates in the first direction, converting the retracting force into an upward force and driving the mopping assembly 2 to rise; when the mopping assembly 2 is in the third position, the second contact portion 402 abuts against the abutting member 5, and the conversion member 4 rotates in the second direction, converting the extending force into a downward force and driving the mopping assembly 2 to descend. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0208] As Figures 10 - 14 shown, a notch structure 403 is formed on the upper part of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 has a first contact portion 401 and a second contact portion 402, and the first contact portion 401 and the second contact portion 402 are respectively two side surfaces of the notch structure 403. One end of the first contact portion 401 and the second contact portion 402 is connected, and an included angle is provided between the first contact portion 401 and the second contact portion 402.

[0209] When the mopping assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply a retracting force, the first contact portion 401 abuts against the abutting member 5 and changes the motion form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the first direction, converting the retracting force into an upward force, and driving the mopping assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0210] When the mopping component 2 reaches the third position, the mopping component 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 begins to apply an extending force, the second contact portion 402 abuts against the abutting member 5, and changes the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the second direction, converting the extending force into a descending force, and driving the mopping component 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0211] The first direction is opposite to the second direction. By the abutting of different parts of the conversion member 4 against the abutting member 5, the conversion member 4 can be conveniently rotated in different directions, so as to realize the conversion of the retracting force into an ascending force to drive the mopping component 2 to rise, or realize the conversion of the extending force into a descending force to drive the mopping component 2 to descend. The structure of this lifting component is simplified and compact, with fewer components, small occupied space, and higher cooperation reliability between components.

[0212] Furthermore, the abutting member 5 is convexly arranged on the side of the cover body 8 facing the mopping component 2. The abutting member 5 has a first abutting portion 501 and a second abutting portion 502. The first abutting portion 501 is adapted to abut against the first contact portion 401, and the second abutting portion 502 is adapted to abut against the second contact portion 402.

[0213] As Figures 10 - 14 shown, the abutting member 5 is convexly arranged on the side of the cover body 8 facing the mopping component 2. The abutting member 5 is integrally in a quasi-triangular structure, and this quasi-triangular structure is adapted to enter the notch structure 403 of the conversion member 4 to realize the cooperation between the conversion member 4 and the abutting member 5. The cooperation principle between the conversion member 4 and the abutting member 5 is similar to the lever principle, that is, the abutting member 5 can convert the linear reciprocating motion into the rotational motion of the conversion member 4, and due to the supporting effect of the abutting member 5 on the conversion member 4, one end of the conversion member 4 hinged to the mopping component 2 will rise or fall, thereby driving the mopping component 2 to rise or fall.

[0214] The abutting member 5 has a first abutting portion 501 and a second abutting portion 502. The first abutting portion 501 and the second abutting portion 502 are respectively two sides of this quasi-triangular structure. The first abutting portion 501 is adapted to cooperate with the first contact portion 401, and the second abutting portion 502 is adapted to cooperate with the second contact portion 402.

[0215] Specifically, as Figures 11 - 14 shown, when the mopping component 2 reaches the second position, the mopping component 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply a retracting force (the direction of the retracting force is as Figure 11 、 12 the arrow F shown in Figure 11 、12 As shown by the arrow z therein, the mopping component 2 is driven to rise relative to the base 1.

[0216] When the mopping component 2 reaches the third position, the mopping component 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 begins to apply an extending force (the direction of the extending force is as shown by the arrow F' in Figure 13 、 14 ), the second contact portion 402 abuts against the second abutting portion 502, and changes the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the second direction, converting the extending force into a descending force (the direction of the descending force is as shown by the arrow z' in Figure 13 、 14 ), driving the mopping component 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0217] Taking Figures 11 - 14 the perspective as an example, the first direction is the clockwise direction, and the second direction is the counterclockwise direction.

[0218] The mopping mechanism of this embodiment, driven by a single motor (the telescopic driving member 3), realizes four motion modes of the entire mopping component 2, namely extending, retracting, rising, and descending, through a crank and connecting rod structure, solving the problems of the complex driving structure of the traditional mopping component, including too many components, poor structural reliability, and poor motion stability. The mopping mechanism of this embodiment can ensure the smooth telescoping and lifting of the mopping component 2 with a simple structure, and can achieve a good mopping and cleaning effect.

[0219] Furthermore, the mopping mechanism further includes a pressing member 15. The pressing member 15 is arranged on the telescopic component and the lifting component, and the pressing member 15 is used to apply a downward pressure to the mopping component 2.

[0220] By setting the pressing member 15 to apply a downward pressure to the mopping component 2, the downward pressure of the mopping component 2 on the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground) is more balanced. The mopping component 2 can fit the surface to be cleaned better, improving the cleaning performance of the mopping component 2, making the cleaning effect of the mopping component 2 more uniform, and improving the cleaning efficiency, thereby achieving the best cleaning effect.

[0221] The pressing member 15 is arranged on the telescopic component and the lifting component, and is used to apply a downward pressure to the mopping component 2. In various positions and states of the mopping component 2, the pressing member 15 always applies a downward pressure to the mopping component 2, making the weight of the mopping component 2 more balanced.

[0222] Particularly when the mopping component 2 is in a position contacting the surface to be cleaned, the downward pressure exerted by the pressing member 15 on the mopping component 2 enables the mopping component 2 to exert an even downward pressure on the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground), reducing the downward pressure difference caused by uneven gravity of the mopping component 2, enabling the mopping component 2 to fit more closely to the surface to be cleaned, improving the cleaning performance of the mopping component 2, making the cleaning effect of the mopping component 2 more uniform, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0223] It should be noted that the position where the mopping component 2 contacts the surface to be cleaned includes the mopping component 2 being located at the first position, the second position, and the positions during the telescoping process of the mopping component 2, etc. (excluding the mopping component 2 being in the third position and the positions during the ascending and descending processes).

[0224] Furthermore, the pressing member 15 is an elastic pressing member, one end of the pressing member 15 abuts against the telescoping component, and the other end abuts against the lifting component.

[0225] The pressing member 15 is specifically an elastic pressing member. This kind of pressing member can reliably exert a downward pressure on the mopping component, and has a simple structure, is easy to obtain, and has a low usage cost.

[0226] As Figure 21 shown, in this embodiment, the pressing member 15 adopts a torsion spring. The pressing member 15 is arranged on the conversion member 4. One end of the pressing member 15 abuts against the conversion member 4, and the other end abuts against the second transmission member 7. The pressing member 15 is arranged on the conversion member 4, making full use of the structural space of the lifting component, improving the space utilization rate, and making the structure of the mopping mechanism more compact and reasonable. One end of the pressing member 15 abuts against the conversion member 4, and the other end abuts against the second transmission member 7. This connection relationship of the pressing member 15 is simple and convenient for structural arrangement.

[0227] In this embodiment, the pressing member 15 includes a fixed portion 1501 and a movable portion 1502. The fixed portion 1501 and the movable portion 1502 are connected. The fixed portion 1501 abuts against the conversion member 4, and the movable portion 1502 abuts against the second transmission member 7. This structure of the pressing member 15 is relatively simple, easy to manufacture and form, and is beneficial to reducing the product cost.

[0228] Specifically, the fixed portion 1501 is a rod-shaped structure. Both ends of the fixed portion 1501 are connected with the movable portion 1502. The end of the movable portion 1502 away from the fixed portion 1501 is a free end, suitable for abutting against the second transmission member 7. This structure of the pressing member 15 is relatively simple, which is beneficial to the quick installation of the pressing member 15 and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0229] In order to enhance the elasticity of the pressing member 15, both ends of the fixed portion 1501 are connected to the movable portion 1502 through elastic portions 1503, so that the pressing member 15 has sufficient elasticity to exert a downward pressure on the mopping component 2, further improving the reliability of the structure.

[0230] In order to facilitate the connection between both ends of the fixing part 1501 and the elastic part 1503, a support arm 1504 is further provided between the fixing part 1501 and the elastic part 1503. One end of the support arm 1504 is connected to the fixing part 1501, and the other end is connected to the elastic part 1503.

[0231] In this embodiment, a notch structure 403 is provided on the side of the conversion part 4 facing away from the second transmission part 7, and the fixing part 1501 abuts against the bottom of the notch structure 403.

[0232] As Figure 22 shown, the pressing part 15 is installed on the conversion part 4. Accommodating grooves 404 are formed on both sides of the conversion part 4, and the elastic part 1503 of the pressing part 15 is arranged in the accommodating grooves 404. Moreover, the side of the conversion part 4 facing away from the second transmission part 7 (i.e., the upper surface of the conversion part 4) has a "V"-shaped structure, and this "V"-shaped structure is the notch structure 403. The bottom of the notch structure 403 is recessed inward, and the fixing part 1501 abuts against the bottom of the notch structure 403. Specifically, the fixing part 1501 is clamped to the bottom of the notch structure 403 to reliably limit the fixing part 1501, make the set position of the fixing part 1501 more stable, enable the fixing part 1501 and the adapter part 4 to firmly abut, and improve the structural reliability.

[0233] In this embodiment, a clamping groove 702 is provided at a position of the second transmission part 7 close to the conversion part 4, and the position and quantity of the clamping groove 702 match those of the movable part 1502 of the pressing part 15. After the elastic part 1503 is arranged in the accommodating groove 404, the movable part 1502 extends out of the accommodating groove 404 and abuts against the bottom of the clamping groove 702, that is, the movable part 1502 is clamped in the clamping groove 702 to reliably limit the movable part 1502, make the set position of the movable part 1502 more stable, enable the movable part 1502 and the second transmission part 7 to firmly abut, and improve the structural reliability.

[0234] In addition, since the pressing part 15 is arranged on the conversion part 4, when the conversion part 4 rotates and converts the retracting force into an upward force, the downward pressure applied by the pressing part 15 to the mopping component 2 increases, and when the conversion part 4 rotates and converts the extending force into a downward force, the downward pressure applied by the pressing part 15 to the mopping component 2 decreases.

[0235] In this embodiment, the magnitude of the downward pressure applied by the compression part 15 to the mopping component 2 is related to the rotation of the conversion part 4. When the conversion part 4 rotates and converts the retracting force into an upward force, the downward pressure applied by the pressing part 15 to the mopping component 2 increases, and when the conversion part 4 rotates and converts the extending force into a downward force, the downward pressure applied by the pressing part 15 to the mopping component 2 decreases.

[0236] As Figures 23 - 24As shown, when the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply a retracting force according to the situation, and the conversion member 4 rotates (taking Figure 23 the Figure 23 perspective as an example, the conversion member 4 rotates clockwise), thereby converting the retracting force into a rising force and driving the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. The included angle between the fixed portion 1501 and the movable portion 1502 of the pressing member 15 is φ. As the mop assembly 2 continuously rises, the included angle φ gradually decreases, and the downward pressure F1 exerted by the fixed portion 1501 on the mop assembly 2 gradually increases. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the included angle φ = φ1.

[0237] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 starts to apply an extending force according to the situation, and the conversion member 4 rotates (taking Figure 24 the Figure 24 perspective as an example, the conversion member 4 rotates counterclockwise), thereby converting the extending force into a descending force and driving the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1. The included angle between the fixed portion 1501 and the movable portion 1502 of the pressing member 15 is φ. As the mop assembly 2 continuously descends, the included angle φ gradually increases, and the downward pressure F1 exerted by the fixed portion 1501 on the mop assembly 2 gradually decreases. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the included angle φ = φ2, and φ2 > φ1.

[0238] During the rising process of the mop assembly 2, the downward pressure F1 exerted by the fixed portion 1501 on the mop assembly 2 gradually increases. When the mop assembly 2 starts to descend, the above downward pressure F1 can promote the mop assembly 2 to descend in place as soon as possible, thereby assisting in controlling the descending process of the mop assembly 2.

[0239] Furthermore, a mop driving assembly 11 is provided on the mop assembly 2, and the force application position of the pressing member 15 on the mop assembly 2 is far from the mop driving assembly 11.

[0240] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, a mop driving assembly 11 is provided on the mop assembly 2. Specifically, the mop driving assembly 11 is provided at one end of the mop assembly 2. The weight of the mop assembly 2 is greater at this end position, and the weight of the other end of the mop assembly 2 is smaller. Therefore, making the force application position of the pressing member 15 on the mop assembly 2 far from the mop driving assembly 11 can make the overall weight of the mop assembly 2 uniform, which is beneficial to the mop assembly 2 applying a more balanced downward pressure on the surface to be cleaned, improving the cleaning effect and enhancing the cleaning efficiency.

[0241] In this embodiment, the pressing member 15 is provided on the conversion member 4 far from the mop driving assembly 11, which makes the weight of the mop assembly 2 uniform and can save costs and simplify the assembly process.

[0242] In other embodiments, a pressing member 15 may be provided on the conversion member 4 of each lifting component, and pressing members 15 with different elastic forces may be selected according to the distance between the conversion member 4 and the mop driving component 11, so as to make the overall weight of the mop component 2 more uniform and improve the cleaning effect.

[0243] This embodiment also provides a mop control system for controlling the above-mentioned mop mechanism. The mop control system includes a control unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the telescopic driving member 3.

[0244] The control unit is used to control the overall operation of the mop mechanism. The signal output end of the control unit is electrically connected to the signal input end of the telescopic driving member 3. Under the control of the control unit, the telescopic movement and lifting movement of the mop component 2 can be realized.

[0245] Furthermore, the mop control system further includes a position detection component, which is electrically connected to the control unit and is used to detect the position of the mop component 2. The position detection component is arranged between the base 1 and the mop component 2.

[0246] The position detection component is used to detect the position of the mop component 2. The signal output end of the position detection component is electrically connected to the signal input end of the control unit. The position detection component can send the position information of the mop component 2 to the control unit, and the control unit controls the operation of the telescopic driving member 3 according to the position information of the mop component 2 fed back by the position detection component, such as controlling the telescopic driving member 3 to rotate forward, reverse or stop.

[0247] This mopping control system, driven by a single motor (telescopic driving member 3), realizes the precise telescopic and lifting movements of the entire mop component 2 through the crank-link structure and the position detection component, solving the problems of complex driving structure of the traditional mop component, too many components, inaccurate positioning, poor structural reliability, and poor motion stability. The mopping control system of this embodiment can ensure the smooth and precise telescopic and lifting of the mop component 2 with a simple structure, can achieve a good mopping and cleaning effect, and improve the user experience.

[0248] Furthermore, the position detection component includes a position detector 9 and a position trigger 10. The position detector 9 is connected to the base 1, and the position trigger 10 is connected to the second transmission member 7 and moves with the second transmission member 7. The position detector 9 and the position trigger 10 cooperate to detect the position of the mop component 2.

[0249] As Figures 15 - 18 shown, the position detection component includes a position detector 9 and a position trigger 10. The position detector 9 and the position trigger 10 cooperate to detect the position of the mop component 2. In this embodiment, the position detector 9 adopts a Hall sensor.

[0250] The position detector 9 is connected to the base 1, and the position trigger 10 is connected to the second transmission member 7 and moves with the second transmission member 7. The second transmission member 7 drives the mop assembly 2 to move telescopically. The position trigger 10 at different positions can trigger the position detector 9, thereby realizing the precise detection of the position of the mop assembly 2.

[0251] In this embodiment, the position detector 9 is indirectly connected to the base 1, and the position detector 9 is arranged on the cover 8.

[0252] Furthermore, the position detector 9 includes a first induction part 901, a second induction part 902, a third induction part 903, and a fourth induction part 904 that are arranged at intervals. There are multiple position triggers 10 and the multiple position triggers 10 are arranged at intervals; when the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third induction part 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the fourth induction part 904, the mop assembly 2 is at the first position; when the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third induction part 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the second induction part 902, the mop assembly 2 is at the second position; when the position trigger 10 triggers the first induction part 901, the mop assembly 2 is at the third position.

[0253] As Figures 15 - 18 shown, the position detector 9 is a Hall sensor, and the Hall sensor has multiple induction parts. In this embodiment, the induction part is an induction plate. Specifically, the position detector 9 includes a first induction part 901, a second induction part 902, a third induction part 903, and a fourth induction part 904 that are arranged at intervals. The position trigger 10 is arranged on the second transmission member 7. According to the movement positions that the mop assembly 2 can reach, the first induction part 901, the second induction part 902, the third induction part 903, and the fourth induction part 904 are arranged. In this embodiment, the first induction part 901, the second induction part 902, the third induction part 903, and the fourth induction part 904 are arranged in sequence along the extending movement direction of the mop assembly 2, and the distance between the first induction part 901 and the second induction part 902 is relatively close, while the distances between the second induction part 902, the third induction part 903, and the fourth induction part 904 are relatively far.

[0254] There are multiple position triggers 10 and the multiple position triggers 10 are arranged at intervals. In this embodiment, the interval distances between adjacent position triggers 10 are relatively uniform to improve the position detection accuracy. The position trigger 10 is specifically a light-shielding plate, and when the position trigger 10 blocks a certain induction plate, the induction plate responds.

[0255] During the movement of the mop assembly 2, the position detection assembly detects the position of the mop assembly 2 in real time. The specific detection process is as follows:

[0256] When the mopping assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing portion 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the fourth sensing portion 904. At this time, the mopping assembly 2 is located at the first position, and the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to extend relative to the base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 reaches the maximum extension position.

[0257] When the mopping assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing portion 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the second sensing portion 902. At this time, the mopping assembly 2 is located at the second position, and the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 reaches the maximum retraction position.

[0258] When the mopping assembly 2 rises relative to the base 1 and the position trigger 10 triggers the first sensing portion 901, the mopping assembly 2 is located at the third position, and the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1, and the mopping assembly 2 reaches the maximum rising position.

[0259] This embodiment further provides a cleaning device, including a base 1 and the mopping mechanism or the mopping control system as described above.

[0260] By providing a driving member, that is, the telescopic driving member 3, the mopping mechanism of this cleaning device can drive the mopping assembly 2 to perform four motion modes: extending, retracting, rising, and falling. This greatly simplifies the driving structure of the mopping mechanism, not only making it easier to install and set up the mopping mechanism, but also significantly improving the reliability of the driving structure of the mopping assembly 2. It can ensure better cleaning effect of the cleaning device using this mopping mechanism and significantly improve the user experience. Moreover, by providing a pressing member 15 to apply a downward pressure to the mopping assembly 2, the downward pressure of the mopping assembly 2 on the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground) is more balanced, the mopping assembly 2 can fit the surface to be cleaned better, improve the cleaning performance of the mopping assembly 2, make the cleaning effect of the mopping assembly 2 more uniform, and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0261] Of course, this cleaning device also has other structural components that existing cleaning devices have, which will not be elaborated here.

[0262] Furthermore, the cleaning device is one of a sweeper, a mopping machine, a floor washer, and a cleaning robot. For example: a sweeping robot, a handheld floor washer, and a fully automatic floor washing robot, etc. In this embodiment, the cleaning device is a cleaning sweeper.

[0263] The following describes the working process of the cleaning device of this embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0264] When the cleaning device needs to clean corner areas such as along the wall, the control unit controls the telescopic driving member 3 to operate. The telescopic driving member 3 applies an extending force. The first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the extending direction, and further drives the mop assembly 2 to move along the extending direction. The mop assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1. During the process of the mop assembly 2 extending relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing portion 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the fourth sensing portion 904. At this time, the mop assembly 2 is in the first position, and the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to extend relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum extending position.

[0265] During the process of the mop assembly 2 extending relative to the base 1 as described above, the extending movement of the mop assembly 2 is stable and the position accuracy is high. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the first position, the mop assembly 2 can clean the corner area with good cleaning effect.

[0266] When the cleaning device finishes cleaning the corner area, the control unit controls the telescopic driving member 3 to operate. The telescopic driving member 3 applies a retracting force. The first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the retracting direction, and further drives the mop assembly 2 to move along the retracting direction. The mop assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1. During the process of the mop assembly 2 retracting relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing portion 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the second sensing portion 902. At this time, the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, and the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum retracting position.

[0267] During the process of the mop assembly 2 retracting relative to the base 1 as described above, the retracting movement of the mop assembly 2 is stable and the position accuracy is high. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 completely retracts into the base 1 and can continue with subsequent cleaning work.

[0268] When the cleaning device needs to return to the base station for cleaning or needs to avoid obstacles, the control unit controls the telescopic driving member 3 to operate. The telescopic driving member 3 applies a retracting force. The first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the retracting direction. Since the mop assembly 2 has reached the second position at this time, the mop assembly 2 no longer continues to retract with the second transmission member 7. The first contact portion 401 abuts against the first abutting portion 501 and changes the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 starts to rotate in the first direction, converting the retracting force into a rising force and driving the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. When the position trigger 10 triggers the first sensing portion 901, the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, and the mop assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum rising position, and the telescopic driving member 3 stops operating.

[0269] During the upward movement of the mop assembly 2 relative to the base 1, the upward movement of the mop assembly 2 is stable and has high position accuracy. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 completely leaves the ground, and it can return to the base station for cleaning or avoid obstacles, so as to prevent secondary pollution of the already cleaned ground or collision with other objects (such as carpets, etc.).

[0270] When the cleaning device reaches the base station or completes obstacle avoidance, the control unit controls the telescopic driving member 3 to operate. The telescopic driving member 3 applies an extending force. The first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic driving member 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the extending direction. At this time, the mop assembly 2 does not move out along with the second transmission member 7. The second contact portion 402 abuts against the second abutting portion 502 and changes the motion form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 starts to rotate in the second direction, converting the extending force into a downward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1. When the position trigger member 10 triggers the second sensing portion 902, the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, and the mop assembly 2 descends in place. The mop assembly 2 re-contacts the ground and can continue the cleaning work.

[0271] The pressing member 15 always applies a downward pressure to the mop assembly 2 to balance the overall weight of the mop assembly 2. Especially when the mop assembly 2 is in the position of contacting the surface to be cleaned, the downward pressure of the mop assembly 2 on the ground is more balanced, the mop assembly 2 can fit the ground better, improving the cleaning performance of the mop assembly 2 and the cleaning efficiency.

[0272] In addition, as Figures 27 - 30 shown, during the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2, the first pipeline water outlet 1602 of the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline water inlet 1701 of the second pipeline 17 both move telescopically together with the mop assembly 2.

[0273] When the first pipeline water outlet 1602 and the second pipeline water inlet 1701 move a distance L along with the mop assembly 2, the first pipeline bending portion 1603 and the second pipeline bending portion 1703 move a distance of 0.5L, greatly reducing the deformation amount of the pipeline, reducing the pipeline bending situation, and avoiding the problem that the pipeline fatigue affects the service life.

[0274] As Figures 19 - 20 shown, another embodiment of the lifting assembly in the mop mechanism.

[0275] The lifting assembly includes a conversion member 4 and an inclined block 14. The shape and structure of the conversion member 4 are different from those in the previous embodiment. In this embodiment, the conversion member 4 is of a straight rod structure. The conversion member 4 has two connecting ends, one end of which is hinged to the telescopic assembly, and the other end is hinged to the mopping assembly 2. Specifically, one end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the telescopic assembly through a first hinge shaft 1301, and the other end is hinged to the mopping assembly 2 through a second hinge shaft 1302.

[0276] Specifically, one end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the second transmission member 7 through a first hinge shaft 1301. This end and the first hinge shaft 1301 can move along the telescopic direction together with the second transmission member 7, so as to realize the telescopic movement of the mopping assembly 2. The housing 201 of the mopping assembly 2 is hinged to the other end of the conversion member 4 through a second hinge shaft 1302, so as to facilitate the hinging of the mopping assembly 2 and the other end of the conversion member 4. The housing 201 and the second hinge shaft 1302 can move up and down together with the other end of the conversion member 4, so as to realize the lifting movement of the mopping assembly 2.

[0277] The inclined block 14 is connected to the base 1. In this embodiment, the inclined block 14 is indirectly connected to the base 1. The inclined block 14 is arranged on the cover body 8. The inclined block 14 is arranged on the path where the conversion member 4 retracts along with the second transmission member 7, so as to facilitate the abutting and cooperation between the conversion member 4 and the inclined block 14. Optionally, the inclined block 14 and the cover body 8 are integrally formed.

[0278] When the mopping assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 continues to apply a retracting force. The conversion member 4 abuts against the inclined block 14, causing the conversion member 4 to rotate, converting the retracting force into an upward force, and driving the mopping assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0279] When the mopping assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mopping assembly 2 cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic driving member 3 begins to apply an extending force. The conversion member 4 abuts against the inclined block 14, causing the conversion member 4 to rotate, converting the extending force into a downward force, and driving the mopping assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0280] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
