[0072] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a power management unit and a cleaning machine handle.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The power management unit 1 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a snap-on shell 11, which has a closed end 11a provided with multiple split conductive parts, a circumferential side wall (not marked in the drawings), and an open end (not marked in the drawings). The snap-on shell 11 extends from the closed end 11a along the circumferential side wall to the open end to enclose a receiving cavity 11b. The closed end 11a is used to be detachably electrically connected to the cleaning machine handle assembly 2, and the handle assembly 2 is externally provided with a charging interface (not marked in the drawings); a charging and discharging module 12 and a main control module 13 are installed in the receiving cavity 11b; the charging and discharging module 12 has an output end (not marked in the drawings) and an input end (not marked in the drawings), the output end is electrically connected to the multiple split conductive parts, and the input end is electrically connected to the charging control interface of the main control module 13. control module (not shown in the drawings); the main control module 13 is installed on the charging and discharging module 12, and the charging and discharging module 12 and the main control module 13 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 11b in sequence through the open end of the snap-on shell 11; the charging and discharging module 12 is electrically connected to the main control module 13, and the main control module 13 controls the operation of the charging and discharging module 12. The charging control module of the main control module 13 is electrically connected to the charging port, and the charging and discharging module 12 performs bidirectional charging and discharging through the closed end 11a, the charging port and the cleaning machine.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the power management unit 1 also includes a display module 14, which is installed at the open end of the snap-on shell 11 to display and select the working mode and status of the cleaning machine, and the main control module 13 controls the operation of the display module 14.

[0075] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the display module 14 further includes a selection input module 15 for selecting a working mode of the cleaning machine.

[0076] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the selection input module 15 is a touch screen with feedback, and the display area or specific area of ​​the entire touch screen can be triggered to select a mode. At this time, the display module 14 and the selection input module 15 are actually the same touch screen with touch feedback function.

[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown, the display module 14 is a display screen with a circular area hollowed out, and the selection input module 15 is a button with a display light that can be pressed to trigger mode selection and is embedded in the display screen and fills the hollowed-out circular area. The part connecting the display screen and the button is a flexible waterproof silicone ring (not marked in the figure) that is integrated with the two.

[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the snap-on shell 11 can be cylindrical, square, stepped or cylindrical, and the closed end 11a can be a convex or concave docking end.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 、 Figures 5 to 7As shown, the closed end 11a of the snap-on shell 11 is convexly arranged. When the cleaning machine is in use, one cleaning machine handle assembly 2 can be adapted to replace multiple power management units 1. The power management unit 1 can be directly plugged into the cleaning machine handle assembly 2 when in use. In this embodiment, the detachable electrical connection means that after the closed end 11a is detachably installed to the cleaning machine handle assembly 2, the electrical connection can be achieved by matching a split conductive connector (not shown in the drawing). The split conductive connector can specifically be a plurality of conductive pins (not shown in the drawing). The detachable manner of the detachable electrical connection in the embodiment of the present invention includes a snap connection, a magnetic connection, a threaded connection, etc. The charging and discharging module 12 can include a charging and discharging protection board 121 and a rechargeable battery 124. The power management unit 1 can supply power to the cleaning machine via the multiple conductive pins of the closed end 11a.

[0080] In one embodiment, the selection input module 15 may include a plurality of different function keys such as a power button, a power selection button, and a mode selection button.

[0081] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown, the selection input module 15 can also be a single function key that activates different functions through different pressing durations, different pressing frequencies, different pressing times at a specific pressing frequency, etc.

[0082] The first beneficial effect of the present invention is that the present invention's technical solution, by arranging a power management unit that is detachably electrically connected to the cleaning machine's handle assembly and integrating a main control module, a charging and discharging module, a display module, and a selection input module into the power management unit, allows the remaining power of the power management unit to be displayed on the display module, and the cleaning machine's operating mode to be set via the selection input module. Furthermore, the power management unit can be easily removed and replaced with a backup, facilitating the continued use of the cleaning machine. The independently pressable selection input module, independent of the display module, prevents wet hands from causing touch inflexibility or misoperation.

[0083] In order to ensure reliable installation of the power management unit 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, the outer surface of the snap housing 11 is provided with at least one snap-on portion 111, which is configured to mate with the buckle assembly 21 of the handle assembly 2. The snap-on portion 111 may be a tongue or a slot. In this embodiment, there are two snap-on portions 111, i.e., two snap-on portions 111 are provided on the outer surface of the snap housing 11.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 Each of the engaging portions 111 includes a first guide boss 1111 extending along the installation direction of the snap housing 11 and a snap-in slot 1112 formed on the first guide boss 1111. The arrangement of the first guide boss 1111 and the snap-in slot 1112 provides the snap housing 11 with a stress-bearing structure over a longer length, making it more robust and durable than a cantilevered latch structure.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The depth of the snap-in groove 1112 is gradually deepened along the installation direction of the snap-in shell 11, and a snap-in end surface portion 11121 for the snap-in assembly 21 to engage is provided on the inner wall of the snap-in groove 1112. The installation direction of the snap-in shell 11 is the direction in which the snap-in shell 11 is inserted into the corresponding cleaning machine handle assembly 2. The gradual deepening of the snap-in groove 1112 in the installation direction facilitates the sliding of the latch tongue (not shown in the drawings) of the snap-in assembly 21 into the snap-in end surface portion 11121 to lock the snap-in shell 11. The sliding and engaging process is a smooth path, reducing wear on the latch tongue of the snap-in assembly 21 by the snap-in portion 111, thereby increasing the service life of the latch tongue of the corresponding snap-in assembly 21 of the cleaning machine.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the snap-on housing 11 is further provided with at least one second guide boss 112, which extends in the same direction as the first guide boss 1111. In this embodiment, there is one second guide boss 112, and the number of the snap-on portions 111 is set to two, corresponding to the number of the first guide bosses 1111 being two. The provision of the second guide boss 112, together with the first guide boss 1111, facilitates the installation of the snap-on housing 11 to the cleaning machine handle assembly 2. The shape of the second guide boss 112, together with the first guide boss 1111, forms a fool-proof structure, allowing the power management unit 1 to be installed in the cleaning machine handle assembly 2 in the set direction each time.

[0087] In order to enhance the connection reliability of the power management unit 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The snap-on shell 11 is arranged in a stepped contraction shape along the installation direction of the snap-on shell 11, and is sequentially formed with a first abutting end surface portion 113, a second abutting end surface portion 114, and a third abutting end surface portion 115. The above arrangement of the first abutting end surface portion 113, the second abutting end surface portion 114, and the third abutting end surface portion 115 allows the snap-on shell 11 and the cleaning machine handle assembly 2 to have multiple abutting surfaces. The multiple abutting surfaces, together with the snap-on end surface portion 11121 and the snap-on end surface portion 11121 of the buckle assembly 21, limit the snap-on shell 11 in the installation direction, thereby increasing the tightness of the installation of the power management unit 1 and preventing power interruption to the cleaning machine due to loosening of the power management unit 1.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the circumferential sidewalls of the snap-on housing 11 are provided with a conductive adapter protrusion 116, the inner end of which is electrically connected to the input terminal (not shown) of the charging and discharging module 12. When the power management unit 1 is installed into the cleaning machine handle assembly 2 and securely snapped into place, the conductive adapter protrusion 116 is electrically connected to the charging port of the cleaning machine handle assembly 2. Then, by connecting the conductive pins (not shown) of the charging head of an external charger (not shown) to the charging port, the rechargeable batteries 124 in the charging and discharging module 12 can be charged.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The power management unit 1 also includes an adapter plate 16, which is sealedly mounted to the closed end 11a of the snap-on housing 11. The adapter plate 16 is provided with a positive conductive pin 161, a negative conductive pin 162, a first signal contact pin 163, a second signal contact pin 164, a third signal contact pin 165, and a fourth signal contact pin 166.
