For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The cleaning device of the cleaning robot according to the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the cleaning device proposed in the present application can also be installed on a cleaning device such as a floor cleaning robot or a cleaning robot. The present application does not make special limitations on the specific scene to which the cleaning device is applicable, that is, the present application does not make special limitations on the specific type of the cleaning device, as long as the cleaning device of the cleaning device proposed in the present application can be used for cleaning. The working surface of the drum water washing can also be referred to as a wall surface or a curtain wall.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application discloses a cleaning device, comprising a drum assembly 1 for water washing of a surface to be cleaned and a mounting bracket 2 with a mounting groove 201, the drum assembly 1 is arranged in the mounting groove 201 and rotationally connected between the mounting bracket 2, and the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of water outlets 203 for supplying water to the outer circumferential surface of the drum assembly 1;

[0034] One side of the mounting groove 201 forms a water recovery thin cavity 202, the water recovery thin cavity 202 is formed with an opening 2021 for recovering water stains on the working surface near the open side of the mounting groove 201, and a plurality of drain holes 2022 are formed on the side away from the opening 2021; a sewage inlet 2023 is also formed near the middle of the water recovery thin cavity 202 and communicates with the mounting groove 201, the sewage inlet 2023 is provided with a water squeezing block 3 for squeezing the drum assembly 1, the water squeezing block 3 is radially perpendicular to the drum assembly 1, and the water squeezing block 3 and the sewage inlet 2023 extend along the length direction of the drum assembly 1; a plurality of flow guide strips 2024 are arranged between the sewage inlet 2023 and the opening 2021 to divide the water recovery thin cavity 202 into a sewage recovery cavity 2025 and a working surface water stain recovery cavity 2026, the flow guide strips 2024 extend from the opening 2021 to the sewage inlet 2023 to converge the working surface water stains near the drain holes 2022;

[0035] The water outlets 203 are located on the side of the water squeezing block 3 away from the opening 2021 and close to the water squeezing block 3, and are uniformly arranged along the length direction of the drum assembly 1.

[0036] It is understood that in this application, the outer peripheral surface of the roller assembly 1 is evenly distributed with bristles 101. During wall cleaning, the wall surface is cleaned by rubbing the bristles 101 against it. The wringing block 3 mainly squeezes the wastewater carried by the bristles 101 on the outer peripheral surface of the roller assembly 1. Specifically, during the cleaning process, the roller assembly 1 rotates unidirectionally relative to the mounting frame 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the brush bristles 101 rotate from the squeezing block 3 towards the opening 2021. Therefore, the brush bristles 101 that have already been cleaned will carry wastewater. When the brush bristles 101 rotate to the position of the squeezing block 3, the squeezing block 3 will squeeze the brush bristles 101 to expel the wastewater. At this time, since the wastewater inlet 2023 is located in front of the squeezing block 3, the squeezed wastewater can promptly enter the wastewater recovery chamber 2025 for recycling. Furthermore, the water stains remaining on the wall surface during the cleaning process are recovered through the opening 2021 into the working surface water stain recovery chamber 2026, thereby achieving the goal of recycling the water stains on the working surface. Water stains and wastewater are recycled simultaneously. During this process, since the water outlet 203 is located on the side of the squeezing block 3 away from the opening 2021 and close to the squeezing block 3, when the roller assembly 1 rotates, as the roller assembly 1 rotates from the squeezing block 3 towards the opening 2021, the wastewater is continuously squeezed into the wastewater inlet 2023, and the water outlet 203 continuously supplies water to the outer peripheral surface of the roller assembly 1. This allows the roller assembly 1 to be cleaned while being cleaned of wastewater, thus ensuring that the roller assembly 1 used for washing the wall surface maintains a certain degree of cleanliness and effectively guarantees the cleaning effect of the wall surface.

[0037] In this application, the squeezing block 3 extends to about half the thickness of the brush bristles 101, so that while squeezing out the wastewater on the brush bristles 101, the brush bristles 101 can also maintain a certain level of moisture to clean the wall surface.

[0038] In this embodiment, by extending both the squeezing block 3 and the sewage inlet 2023 along the length of the roller assembly 1, the roller assembly 1 can be squeezed along its entire length. Since the sewage inlet 2023 is located in front of the squeezing block 3 and extends along the length of the roller assembly 1, the squeezed water can flow into the sewage recovery chamber 2025 for recycling in a timely manner.

[0039] Moreover, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple guide strips 2024 are provided between the sewage inlet 2023 and the opening 2021 to divide the water recovery thin cavity 202 into a sewage recovery cavity 2025 and a work surface water stain recovery cavity 2026. The guide strips 2024 extend from the opening 2021 to the sewage inlet 2023 to collect the work surface water stains to the vicinity of the drain outlet 2022, so that the sewage recovery cavity 2025 and the work surface water stain recovery cavity 2026 can share a cavity for water recovery.

[0040] Further, the two sides of the flow guide strip 2024 are arranged from both sides of the opening 2021 to the vicinity of the drainage port 2022 to form a triangular flow guide groove structure, so as to quickly collect the water marks on the working surface to the sewage inlet 2023, and then quickly enter the drainage port 2022 under the action of negative pressure. In order to accelerate the discharge of water marks on the working surface, while not affecting the discharge efficiency of the sewage, the opening width formed by the two flow guide strips 2024 at the sewage inlet 2023 is larger, at least 3-5 times the diameter of the drainage port 2022, so as to facilitate the residual water marks on the opening 2021 of the working surface.

[0041] Further, the flexible scraping strip 4 and the flexible blocking strip 5 are arranged on both sides of the opening 2021, and the flexible scraping strip 4 faces the surface to be cleaned. The flexible scraping strip 4 and the flexible blocking strip 5 form a water suction cavity 501 connected to the water mark recovery cavity 2026 of the working surface, and a plurality of water suction holes 401 are formed on the flexible scraping strip 4 and connected to the water suction cavity 501.

[0042] It can be understood that the flexible scraping strip 4 is in front, used for scraping the water marks on the surface of the working surface, and the flexible blocking strip 5 is behind, used for supporting the flexible scraping strip 4 and for blocking the water marks from remaining on the working surface behind the flexible scraping strip 4.

[0043] In these embodiments, the flexible scraping strip 4 and the flexible blocking strip 5 are arranged on both sides of the opening 2021, and a plurality of water suction holes 401 are formed on the flexible scraping strip 4 and connected to the water suction cavity 501, so that the residual water marks on the cleaned working surface can be sucked at the same time, thereby ensuring the dryness of the cleaned working surface and avoiding the influence of water marks on the appearance of the cleaned working surface.

[0044] In some embodiments, along the direction towards the working surface, the distance between the flexible scraping strip 4 and the flexible blocking strip 5 gradually decreases, and the two form a tapered triangular area, and the triangular area constitutes the water suction cavity 501.

[0045] At the same time, since the thickness of the water recovery thin cavity 202 is small, and along the direction from far to close to the cleaning working surface, the water recovery thin cavity 202 is gradually expanded from one end of the opening 2021 to the other end, that is, a horn-shaped structure is formed, so that the water flow can be quickly introduced into the drainage port 2022.

[0046] In addition, the side of the flexible scraping strip 4 close to the flexible blocking strip 5 is formed with a plurality of parallel protrusions 402, and a water suction hole 401 is formed between adjacent two protrusions 402, so that a smaller water suction cavity 501 is formed between adjacent two protrusions 402, which can avoid the flexible scraping strip 4 and the flexible blocking strip 5 from being squeezed together during the advancing process, can maintain the basic form of the water suction cavity 501, and ensure that the water marks on the surface of the working surface can enter the water suction cavity 501 in time.

[0047] And it can be understood that the drain 2022 will be connected with the pumping device through the pipeline, and the pumping device generates negative pressure so that the sewage in the sewage recovery cavity 2025 and the water stains in the working surface water stain recovery cavity 2026 are discharged from the drain 2022 to the sewage tank, avoiding the recontamination of water on the working surface.

[0048] Further, the water recovery cavity 202 is at least two, and the plurality of water recovery cavities 202 are distributed along the length direction of the mounting frame 2, and each water recovery cavity 202 is provided with a drain 2022.

[0049] In this embodiment, by setting a plurality of independently partitioned water recovery cavities 202, and each water recovery cavity 202 is provided with a drain 2022 at the top, so that each water recovery cavity 202 can separately extract the sewage extruded by negative pressure, and the suction force is stronger, so as to improve the extraction efficiency of the sewage and the water stains on the working surface, and avoid water accumulation in the water recovery cavity 202.

[0050] Among them, the water recovery cavity 202 is formed with a guide groove 205 above the sewage inlet 2023, and the guide groove 205 extends from both sides of the sewage inlet 2023 to the drain 2022 to form a reverse triangular structure, which is used to guide the sewage at the sewage inlet 2023 to the drain 2022.

[0051] In this embodiment, the guide groove 205 is connected with the sewage inlet 2023 and the drain 2022, so that the sewage at the sewage inlet 2023 can flow directly to the drain 2022, which improves the extraction rate of the sewage, reduces the accumulation of the sewage in the water recovery cavity 202, reduces the water consumption of the cleaning mechanism using this structure, and ensures the cleaning efficiency of the whole machine.

[0052] In this application, a plurality of independently partitioned water recovery cavities 202 are formed on one side of the mounting frame 2, the length of the water recovery cavity 202 is about 9-15cm, and the sewage inlet 2023 is arranged in the middle of the water recovery cavity 202, and the opening 2021 is arranged at the bottom of the water recovery cavity 202, which can ensure that the sewage and the water stains on the working surface are recovered in time, and avoid the sewage and the water stains on the working surface.

[0053] It can be understood that the mounting frame 2 is also formed with a water tank 206 extending along the length direction of the roller assembly 1, and the water tank 206 is provided with a water outlet hole 203; the mounting frame 2 is also provided with a water inlet connected with the water tank 206.

[0054] Further, the cleaning device in the embodiment further comprises a detection mechanism 6 for obstacle detection, the detection mechanism 6 comprises a pull wire sensor 601 and at least two elastic members 602, the pull wire sensor 601 is installed at one end of the mounting frame 2 away from the mounting groove 201, the pull wire 6011 on the pull wire sensor 601 is connected to the mounting seat 7 provided in the middle of the mounting frame 2, the mounting seat 7 is used for mounting a control mechanism for controlling the movement of the cleaning device; the elastic members 602 are distributed on the left and right sides of the mounting seat 7 along the length direction of the mounting frame 2; one end of the elastic member 602 is connected to one end of the mounting frame 2, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat 7; the control mechanism controls the mounting frame 2 to move away from the obstacle according to the signal fed back by the pull wire sensor 601.

[0055] It can be understood that, since there are usually various protruding obstacles such as window frames, supports, decorative strips and the like on the working surface, when the cleaning device is cleaning, it will not control the cleaning device to be retracted after seeing the protruding obstacles or after hitting the obstacles, but it is possible to continue to hit the protruding obstacles, and when the acting force between the cleaning device and the protruding obstacles is too large, the cleaning device is easily damaged.

[0056] In the embodiment, a high-precision pull wire sensor 601 can be used, when the mounting frame 2 collides with the protruding obstacles, the pull wire 6011 in the pull wire sensor 601 will be displaced and detected, when the displacement is greater than or equal to a preset displacement, a collision signal is fed back to the control mechanism at this time; and when the displacement is less than or equal to the preset displacement, no collision signal is fed back to the control mechanism at this time, the purpose of this arrangement is to avoid the situation that when the cleaning device hits some protrusions 402 stains (such as bird droppings and the like) on the working surface, since the pull wire sensor 601 has high precision, if it is judged as a collision and fed back to the control mechanism, a judgment error will occur; therefore, in the embodiment, only when the displacement of the pull wire 6011 is greater than or equal to the preset displacement, the collision signal is fed back to the control mechanism.

[0057] When the control mechanism receives the collision signal, the control mechanism controls the mounting frame 2 to move away from the obstacle or no longer continue to move in the direction of the protruding obstacles according to the collision signal fed back by the pull wire sensor 601, thereby playing the role of obstacle detection and feedback; and since the elastic members 602 are further arranged between the mounting seat 7 and the mounting frame 2, when the mounting frame 2 collides with the protruding obstacles, the elastic members 602 can play the role of buffering and reducing the acting force of the obstacles on the mounting frame 2.

[0058] Among them, as a preferred embodiment, the elastic member 602 can be a spring, and the spring is arranged in parallel close to the mounting frame 2.

[0059] And in particular, the two ends of the mounting frame 2 along the length direction are respectively formed with standing pieces 204, one end of the spring is mounted on the mounting frame 2 through the standing pieces 204, and the other end is mounted on the mounting seat 7, so that the spring is at a certain distance from the mounting frame 2 to avoid friction between the spring and the mounting frame 2 during the extension and contraction process.

[0060] In the embodiment, the spring and the mounting frame 2 are arranged in parallel to avoid the force of the spring acting on the mounting frame 2 being excessively dispersed in directions other than the length direction of the mounting frame 2 during the extension and contraction process.

[0061] It can be understood that when the end close to the pull wire sensor 601 collides, it is assumed that the displacement detected by the pull wire 6011 at this time is positive; when the end away from the pull wire sensor 601 collides, the displacement detected by the pull wire 6011 at this time is negative. Thus, only one pull wire sensor 601 can be used to achieve the purpose of detecting the collision.

[0062] In the embodiment, as long as the displacement of the pull wire 6011 is greater than the preset displacement, the control mechanism immediately controls the mounting frame 2 to move away from the obstacle or no longer continue to move in the direction of the protruding obstacle, thereby avoiding the force of the obstacle acting on the cleaning device from continuing to increase; at the same time, before the displacement of the pull wire 6011 is greater than the preset displacement during the collision, the spring also deforms, so that the spring always generates a force on the mounting frame 2, thereby always buffering the cleaning device, so as to ensure that the collision causes less damage to the cleaning device, thereby greatly reducing the damage to the cleaning device, and achieving the purpose of obstacle detection.

[0063] Moreover, when the mounting frame 2 no longer contacts the protruding obstacle, the spring also plays a resetting role, so that the pull wire 6011 in the pull wire sensor 601 is reset.

[0064] Further, the side of the pull wire sensor 601 away from the mounting seat 7 is provided with an L-shaped limiting plate 9, one side of the L-shaped limiting plate 9 abuts against the pull wire sensor 601, and the opening 2021 of the L-shaped limiting plate 9 faces away from the pull wire sensor 601. In the embodiment, the L-shaped limiting plate 9 can limit and mount the pull wire sensor 601.

[0065] It can be understood that in order to drive the roller assembly 1 to rotate to facilitate cleaning of the working surface, the cleaning device of the embodiment further comprises a driving mechanism 8 for driving the roller assembly 1 to rotate, the driving mechanism 8 comprising a motor 801 and a gear assembly 802, the output shaft of the motor 801 being connected with the gear assembly 802, and the output shaft of the gear assembly 802 extending into one end of the roller assembly 1 and being clamped and connected with the roller assembly 1. In the embodiment, the gear assembly 802 can avoid the inconvenience of extending the wire into the roller assembly 1.

[0066] Specifically, the gear assembly 802 comprises a center gear 8021 and first and second gears 8022, 8023 located on opposite sides of the center gear 8021, the first and second gears 8022, 8023 are respectively engaged with the center gear 8021, and the first and second gears 8022, 8023 and the center gear 8021 are vertically arranged at one end of the mounting frame 2; the output shaft of the motor 801 is connected with the first gear 8022 to drive the first gear 8022 to rotate, and the center of the second gear 8023 is provided with a connecting shaft for connecting with the roller assembly 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first gear 8022, the center gear and the second gear 8023 are vertically arranged in a straight line at one end of the mounting frame 2, so as to reduce the space occupied by the gear assembly 802 and facilitate installation.

[0068] On the other hand, the present application also provides a cleaning robot, comprising a main body and the above cleaning device, and the main body and the cleaning device are connected through a mechanical arm or a connecting piece.
