[0024] Embodiment The present embodiment provides a water surface cleaning machine, referring to Figure 1 As shown, comprising a shell, a power device and a cleaning device, a garbage storage cavity is formed in the shell, the power device can be an impeller 1, the impeller 1 is installed on the shell to drive the shell to move in the first direction. The end of the shell is provided with a garbage inlet 2, the opening of the garbage inlet 2 faces the first direction, and the cleaning device is installed at the garbage inlet 2, when the impeller 1 drives the shell to move towards the first direction, the floating objects enter the garbage storage cavity through the garbage inlet 2 under the action of the cleaning device. It should be noted that garbage inlets 2 can also be provided at both ends of the shell respectively, so that the openings of the garbage inlets 2 face or face away from the first direction, and the cleaning device is installed at each garbage inlet 2 respectively, so that the impeller 1 can move in the reverse direction of the first direction when it is reversed, so that floating objects can be collected during forward and backward movement.
[0025] Specifically, referring to Figure 3As shown in the figure, the cleaning device comprises a leakage-proof baffle 3, a rolling member 4 and a driving motor 5. One side of the leakage-proof baffle 3 is hinged to the top of the garbage inlet 2 through a first rotating shaft 6 and can rotate about the first rotating shaft 6. The rolling member 4 is rotatably installed in the garbage storage cavity and close to the garbage inlet 2 through a second rotating shaft 7, and a plurality of blades are mounted on the surface of the rolling member 4. The driving motor 5 is installed on the casing and connected with the second rotating shaft 7 to drive the second rotating shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the rolling member 4 to rotate, so that the floating objects are pushed into the garbage storage cavity by the blades when collecting the floating objects. The driving motor 5 is also connected with a transmission assembly which is connected with the first rotating shaft 6 to drive the leakage-proof baffle 3 to rotate about the axis of the first rotating shaft 6 to block the garbage inlet 2, thereby avoiding garbage overflow.
[0026] The water surface cleaning machine provided by the embodiment opens the leakage-proof baffle 3 during the process of collecting floating objects, so that the floating objects enter the garbage storage cavity under the pushing of the rolling member 4. At this time, the floating objects are difficult to overflow from the garbage inlet 2 under the action of the water flow. When stopping the collection, the leakage-proof baffle 3 is used to block the garbage inlet 2 to avoid the floating objects overflowing, so that the design size of the garbage inlet 2 can be as large as possible, thereby ensuring the collection efficiency and avoiding the floating objects overflowing again.
[0027] As a further improvement of the embodiment, the transmission assembly only drives the leakage-proof baffle 3 to rotate towards the direction of blocking the garbage inlet 2, and the rotating direction of the rolling member 4 is the same as that of the leakage-proof baffle 3. Specifically, the transmission assembly comprises at least two structural forms.
[0028] In the first embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the transmission assembly comprises a driving gear 8, an intermediate gear 9, a driven gear 10 and a one-way bearing 11. The driving gear 8 is connected with the driving motor 5. The intermediate gear 9 is engaged with the driving gear 8. The driven gear 10 is engaged with the intermediate gear 9, and the rotating direction of the driving gear 8 is consistent with that of the driven gear 10. The driven gear 10 is connected with the first rotating shaft 6. The first rotating shaft 6 is connected with the leakage-proof baffle 3 through the one-way bearing 11, and only drives the leakage-proof baffle 3 to rotate towards the direction of blocking the garbage inlet 2.
[0029] In the second embodiment, the transmission assembly comprises a driving gear 8, an intermediate gear 9, a driven gear 10 and a one-way bearing 11. The driving gear 8 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 5. The intermediate gear 9 is engaged with the driving gear 8. The driven gear 10 is engaged with the intermediate gear 9, and the driven gear 10 is connected with the first rotating shaft 6 through the one-way bearing 11, so that the first rotating shaft 6 is connected with the leakage-proof baffle 3 and only drives the leakage-proof baffle 3 to rotate towards the direction of blocking the garbage inlet 2.
[0030] In the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the number of intermediate gears 9 is odd, so that the rotation direction of the driving gear 8 and the driven gear 10 is the same. In addition, a touch switch 12 is arranged on the side of the garbage inlet 2, and a switch triggering part 13 is arranged on the anti-leakage baffle 3. During the process of shielding the garbage inlet 2 by the anti-leakage baffle 3, when the touch switch 12 is triggered, the driving motor 5 is stopped. The garbage inlet 2 is inclined towards the outside of the casing, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is in an inclined state.
[0031] When the driving motor 5 rotates forward, the driving roller rotates counterclockwise, at this time, the floating objects are pushed into the garbage storage cavity, and the one-way bearing 11 is in a slipping state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is in an open state under the action of gravity. When the driving motor 5 reverses, the driving roller rotates clockwise, at this time, the one-way bearing 11 is in a transmission state, and the anti-leakage baffle 3 is driven to rotate to shield the garbage inlet 2.
[0032] In the process of collecting floating objects, the driving motor 5 drives the rolling member 4 to rotate forward for floating object collection, at this time, the one-way bearing 11 is switched to a slipping state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 is opened under the action of gravity. When the collection is stopped, the driving motor 5 drives the rolling member 4 to reverse, at this time, the one-way bearing 11 is switched to a transmission state, so that the anti-leakage baffle 3 rotates to shield the garbage inlet 2, avoiding overflow of floating objects; only one motor is used to control the rolling member 4 and the anti-leakage baffle 3, which can reduce the size of the water surface cleaning machine and reduce the cost.
[0033] As a further improvement of the embodiment, the casing includes a main body shell and a garbage box 17, the main body shell includes a top plate 15 and side surfaces on both sides of the top plate 15, so that a mounting groove is formed in the middle of the main body shell; the garbage box is inserted into the mounting groove, so that the side wall 16 extends outwardly towards the outside of the garbage inlet 2 to form a garbage accumulation area 18. In the process of collecting floating objects, the floating objects can be guided to accumulate in the garbage accumulation area 18, so that the floating objects can be better collected.
[0034] As a further improvement of the embodiment, a limiting part 14 is further arranged on the casing. Specifically, the limiting part 14 can be arranged on the main body shell or the garbage box 17. When the anti-leakage baffle 3 is opened under the action of gravity and abuts against the limiting part 14, the anti-leakage baffle 3 presents a state of being inclined downwardly from the end away from the garbage inlet 2. When the anti-leakage baffle 3 abuts against the limiting part 14, the included angle between the anti-leakage baffle 3 and the horizontal plane is 15°-40°. On the one hand, the resistance during movement of the water surface cleaning machine can be reduced, and on the other hand, the floating objects can be guided, so that the collection efficiency is improved.
[0035] As a further improvement of the embodiment, the cleaning device is mounted on the garbage box 17, and the garbage box 17 is detachably connected with the main body shell, which can be in the form of a drawer, etc. When cleaning the water surface cleaning machine, the garbage box 17 can be directly pulled out, and will not be blocked by the transmission structure of the cleaning device, so that the use is more convenient.
[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the garbage box 17 is in a hollow shape, so that the water flows out from the hollow position.
[0037] Practical process: place the water surface cleaning machine on the water surface, drive it to move in the first direction by the impeller 1, at this time the driving motor 5 is in the forward rotation state, so that the rolling body rotates in the direction of water flow, that is, counterclockwise, at this time the one-way bearing 11 is in the slipping state, the anti-leakage baffle 3 is opened under the action of gravity, and the rolling body counterclockwise rotates to push the garbage into the garbage storage cavity; when stopping collection, the driving motor 5 is reversed, so that the rolling body rotates clockwise, at this time the one-way bearing 11 is in the transmission state, and the anti-leakage baffle 3 is rotated to block the garbage inlet 2.
[0038] Obviously, the above embodiment is only an example for clear illustration, and is not a limitation on the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
