Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese invention patent application filed on December 30, 2021, with application number 202111657747.0 and entitled "Cleaning Organization and Cleaning Equipment". Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning technology, specifically relating to a cleaning mechanism and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0003] Cleaning equipment, such as floor scrubbers, mops, and sweeper-mop combos, has been increasingly used for household floor cleaning, offering advantages such as labor-saving and effective cleaning. The cleaning mechanism of such equipment typically includes a dustbin and cleaning components. The dustbin collects debris from the surface to be cleaned, which can be solid, liquid, or dust. The cleaning components generate friction during movement to clean the surface. However, after completing the cleaning task, both the dustbin and cleaning components need to be removed from the machine for washing and then reinstalled, making it inconvenient for users. Using disposable dustbins and cleaning components would increase cleaning costs. Summary of the Invention

[0089] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0090] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0091] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0092] Example 1

[0093] This embodiment provides a cleaning mechanism suitable for cleaning surfaces. The surface to be cleaned can be a floor, a wall, or a dirty surface of an object to be cleaned. This embodiment does not specifically limit the surface to be cleaned; it depends on the actual situation.

[0094] Please combine Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning mechanism includes a housing 1 for detachably mounting a cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 is adapted to contact the surface to be cleaned for cleaning. The cleaning component 2 can be a roller or a mop, etc. In order to increase the cleaning surface area and thus ensure the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning mechanism, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 2 is a mop.

[0095] The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 11 and a dirt inlet 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The dirt inlet 12 is located on the first outer wall 145 of the housing 1. Dirt on the surface to be cleaned can enter the receiving cavity 11 through the dirt inlet 12 under negative pressure. The receiving cavity 11 stores the dirt cleaned during the cleaning process. The dirt in the receiving cavity 11 is cleaned after one or more cleaning tasks are completed.

[0096] Therefore, to prevent the inside of the housing 1 from being contaminated by dirt, it is conventional to install a dust box inside the receiving cavity 11. This dust box is used to store the dust that enters the receiving cavity 11. When it is necessary to clean the dirt, only the dust box needs to be cleaned, which improves the convenience of dirt cleaning.

[0097] Furthermore, for user convenience, the dustbin is detachably mounted within the receiving cavity 11. When cleaning the dustbin is needed, simply remove it from the receiving cavity 11. After cleaning, the user must reinstall the dustbin into the receiving cavity 11 for the next cleaning task.

[0098] However, the above steps still increase the user's cleaning burden. Furthermore, after cleaning component 2 completes its cleaning work, it also needs to be cleaned by the user to prevent bacteria from growing on it and causing odors, thus reducing cleaning efficiency. Similarly, cleaning component 2 generally requires detaching it from the casing 1. After cleaning component 2 is complete, the user then reinstalls it onto the casing 1, making the process cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0099] Therefore, to facilitate user cleaning of the entire cleaning mechanism after completing the cleaning task, in this embodiment, when the cleaning component 2 is installed on the housing 1, its first part is embedded in the receiving cavity 11 through the dirt inlet 12. At least a portion of the first part embedded in the receiving cavity 11 can be opened and adsorbed onto the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 under the action of adsorption force to form a dirt collection cavity. This dirt collection cavity, like the aforementioned dust box, is used to store dirt that has detached from the surface to be cleaned under the action of the cleaning mechanism. The adsorption force can be the aforementioned negative pressure, or it can be magnetic adsorption. When the adsorption force is magnetic adsorption, the cleaning component 2 is provided with a first magnetic element, and the housing 1 is provided with a second magnetic element. The first and second magnetic elements attract each other to achieve the installation of the first part of the cleaning component 2 within the receiving cavity 11. In this embodiment, both the first and second magnetic elements are magnets.

[0100] The second part of the cleaning component 2 abuts against the first outer wall 145 of the housing 1 to form a cleaning section, which directly contacts the surface to be cleaned to achieve cleaning. That is, the cleaning component 2 has two functions: part of it acts as a collection chamber to collect dirt, and the other part acts as a cleaning section to perform the cleaning function. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 2 can be a disposable cleaning component 2. After completing the cleaning task, the cleaning component 2 can be removed from the housing 1 to remove the waste without needing to clean it. When the next cleaning task is needed, a new cleaning component 2 can be taken and installed on the housing 1. The first outer wall 145 of the base 14 is flat, forming a surface abutment with the second part of the cleaning component 2, thereby maximizing the contact between the second part of the cleaning component 2 and the surface to be cleaned, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0101] To save costs and facilitate cleaning of the cleaning component 2, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 2 is a wet wipe. It is worth noting that the wet wipe should be configured to effectively clean the floor; therefore, its material can be a non-woven fabric or similar material that has toughness and thickness, and retains a certain degree of toughness even when wet, thus effectively cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0102] As mentioned above, to facilitate cleaning of the cleaning component 2, the cleaning component 2 is detachably installed from the housing 1. Specifically, the outer wall of the housing 1 provides at least one detachable mounting point for the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2. By detachably installing the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2 to the outer wall of the housing 1, the usable area of ​​the cleaning component 2 can be maximized, thereby improving its utilization efficiency.

[0103] The housing 1 includes a bracket 13 and a base 14. The bracket 13 has a recessed cavity that extends from the outside in. One end of the base 14 is mounted on one end of the bracket 13, and the other end of the base 14 and the other end of the bracket 13 form a sludge inlet 12. The outer wall of the base 14 serves as a first outer wall 145, and the inner wall of the base 14 and the recessed cavity form a receiving cavity 11. At least the bracket 13 allows for the detachable mounting of the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2.

[0104] As described above, the first part of the cleaning component 2 is embedded in the receiving cavity 11, and at least the first part serves as a dirt collection cavity. When a large amount of dirt is stored in the dirt collection cavity, the base 14 is slidably connected to the bracket 13 to facilitate cleaning of the stored dirt. The base 14 slides along the bracket 13 to open or close the recessed cavity of the bracket 13, thereby facilitating the second part of the cleaning component 2 embedded in the receiving cavity 11 to slide out of the housing 1, so as to drive the dirt to slide out of the housing 1 together.

[0105] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7To ensure a secure connection between the cleaning component 2 and the support 13, and to prevent the cleaning component 2 from detaching from the support 13 during the cleaning process, or the cleaning component 2, which is embedded in the receiving cavity 11, from falling out of the dirt inlet 12 and onto the support 13, thus carrying away dirt stored in the dirt collection cavity and causing secondary contamination of the surface to be cleaned and increasing the cleaning burden on the user, the cleaning mechanism also includes at least one first stop member 5, which is connected to the other end of the base 14. The other end of the base 14 is the end where the base 14 and the support 13 form the dirt inlet 12.

[0106] The first stop 5 is used to insert and / or magnetically attach to the transition section of the cleaning component 2 located between the first and second parts when the base 14 slides; and to abut against the bracket 13 to form a dirt inlet 12 when the base 14 is installed in place. Specifically, the first stop 5 inserts into the transition section of the cleaning component 2 as follows: the first stop 5 has a pointed tip 143, which is formed at the bottom end of the first stop 5 away from the base 14, and then inserts into the transition section of the cleaning component 2 to pierce it. When the base 14 slides into place to form the dirt inlet 12 between itself and the bracket 13, the pointed tip 143 abuts against the bracket 13. At this time, the transition section of the cleaning component 2 cannot detach from the pointed tip 143 under the abutment of the pointed tip 143 and the bracket 13, thereby allowing the first stop 5 to initially fix the cleaning component 2.

[0107] The first stop 5 and the transition section of the cleaning component 2 are attracted to each other in the following way: A magnet is provided on the first stop 5, and a magnet is also provided on the transition section of the cleaning component 2. The two magnets attract each other to achieve fixation. When the base 14 slides into place to form the inlet 12 between itself and the bracket 13, the first stop 5 abuts against the bracket 13. At this time, the transition section of the cleaning component 2 cannot detach from the first stop 5 due to the attraction of the two magnets, thus allowing the first stop 5 to initially fix the cleaning component 2.

[0108] To further secure the cleaning component 2 and prevent excessive accumulation of dirt in its collection chamber, a small portion of the second part of the cleaning component 2 may be carried out of the support 13 by gravity and sliding action of the dirt. At least one second stop 142 is provided on the end face of the other end of the base 14. Similarly, the other end of the base 14 is located near the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2 when the base 14 slides into place with the support 13. The second stop 142 has a pointed tip 143, which pierces the transition section and is used to separate from the transition section when the base 14 slides in the disassembly direction. In this embodiment, the second stop 142 is entirely the pointed tip 143, and multiple second stop 142s are provided, equidistantly arranged along the width direction of the base 14 to ensure uniform force distribution on the transition section of the cleaning component 2. The width direction of the base 14 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the base 14.

[0109] It is worth noting that, unlike the first stop member 5, the transition section of the cleaning member 2 is already pierced by the first stop member 5 before the base 14 is installed in place with the bracket 13. Subsequently, the transition section of the cleaning member 2 moves along with the sliding of the base 14. The piercing between the transition section of the cleaning member 2 and the second stop member 142 only occurs when the base 14 has slid into place and is installed with the bracket 13, and when at least a portion of the cleaning member 2 is stretched open under the action of suction force and adsorbed onto the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 11, so that the second stop member 142 is inserted into and / or magnetically attracted to the transition section.

[0110] The insertion and / or adsorption of the second stop member 142 with the transition section is the same as the insertion and / or adsorption of the first stop member 5 with the transition section, so it will not be described again here.

[0111] As described above, at least the first part of the cleaning component 2 located in the receiving cavity 11 is used to form a dirt collection cavity to store dirt. During the cleaning process of the cleaning mechanism, in order to prevent dirt from falling from the dirt collection cavity into the dirt inlet 12 onto the surface to be cleaned and increasing the cleaning burden on the user, the cleaning mechanism also includes a retaining component 6.

[0112] One end of the abutment 6 is movably mounted on the other end of the bracket 13 and located at the opening of the recessed cavity. The other end of the abutment 6 tends to abut against the other end of the base 14 under its own weight. The area of ​​this abutment is such that the other end of the abutment 6 contacts the other end of the base 14. When the cleaning component 2 is installed on the housing 1, the first part of the cleaning component 2, embedded in the receiving cavity 11, near the recessed cavity, is fixed by the abutment action between the other end of the abutment 6 and the other end of the base 14, thereby closing the dirt collection cavity to store dirt. In this embodiment, the abutment 6 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 13. The purpose of this arrangement is that, in the normal state (when the base 14 faces the surface to be cleaned), the abutment 6 can rotate in the direction of gravity under its own weight, thus abutting against the first part of the cleaning component 2.

[0113] In other embodiments, the abutment 6 may also be slidably disposed on the bracket 13. In this case, the movement of the abutment 6 requires external force to abut or separate it from the other end of the base 14. The sliding structure between the abutment 6 and the bracket 13 is conventional, for example, through the cooperation of a groove and a slider, and will not be described in detail here.

[0114] When the cleaning mechanism is performing cleaning work, the supporting member 6 is driven by the direction of the opening of the cleaning member 2, and separates from the other end of the base 14 to form the dirt inlet 12. The opening of the cleaning member 2 is subjected to negative pressure. That is, when the cleaning mechanism is performing cleaning work, a negative pressure is formed in the bracket 13, so that at least the first part of the cleaning member 2 is adsorbed on the inner wall of the bracket 13, and drives the supporting member 6 to rotate, so that the supporting member 6 separates from the other end of the base 14, and then the dirt can enter the dirt collection chamber from the dirt inlet 12.

[0115] The other end of the supporting member 6 is provided with a first bent portion that bends from the inlet 12 toward the interior of the recessed cavity. This first bent portion can increase the contact area between the supporting member 6 and the first part of the cleaning member 2, thereby better holding and fixing the first part located at the entrance of the recessed cavity. Furthermore, driven by the opening action of the cleaning member 2, the first bent portion moves away from the base 14 to form the inlet 12.

[0116] Correspondingly, the other end of the base 14 is provided with a second bend that bends outward from the recessed cavity. The first bend tends to abut or separate from the second bend to form a dirt inlet 12. The first bend is closer to the recessed cavity than the second bend, so as to avoid the first bend being interfered with by the second bend during rotation and thus having a smaller rotation stroke, which would result in a smaller size of the dirt inlet 12 and affect the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning mechanism.

[0117] To enhance the abutment between the retaining member 6 and the other end of the base 14 in the normal state, the cleaning mechanism further includes a third biasing member 62. The other end of the retaining member 6, under the influence of its own weight and the biasing force of the third biasing member 62, tends to abut against the other end of the base 14. In this embodiment, the third biasing member 62 is a torsion spring, with one end abutting against the bracket 13 and the other end abutting against the retaining member 6. Therefore, a biasing force is always applied to the retaining member 6, ensuring that, in the normal state, the retaining member 6 can maintain contact with the other end of the base 14 under the combined action of the third biasing member 62 and gravity.

[0118] As described above, the base 14 is slidably mounted on one end of the bracket 13. The cleaning mechanism also includes at least one locking component 3, which locks the base 14 onto the bracket 13 when the base 14 slides into position on the bracket 13, and unlocks it from the bracket 13.

[0119] The locking assembly 3 includes a linkage 31 and a second locking part 32. The linkage 31 is movably mounted on the bracket 13 to move relative to the bracket 13, and the second locking part 32 is mounted on the base 14. The two ends of the linkage 31 serve as a first mounting part 311 and a first locking part 312, respectively. The first mounting part 311 is used to mount the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2. Therefore, the first mounting part 311 has an mounted state where it is mounted to the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2, and a disassembled state where it is separated from the first end 21.

[0120] Correspondingly, a first mating part 211 is provided on the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2. This first mating part 211 is mated and installed with the first mounting part 311 to realize the installation of the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2 with the bracket 13. In one embodiment, one of the first mounting part 311 and the first mating part 211 is a hook, and the other of the first mounting part 311 and the first mating part 211 is a hanging hole, which allows for detachable connection by hanging on the hook. In another embodiment, both the first mounting part 311 and the first mating part 211 are magnetic, and the base 14 and the first end 21 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction. In other embodiments, the first mating part 211 and the first mounting part 311 can also be other types, such as slots and blocks, etc., which are not specifically limited here and are determined according to the actual situation.

[0121] The second locking part 32 is adapted to lock into the first locking part 312. Therefore, the second locking part 32 has a locked state that is locked to the first locking part 312 and an unlocked state that is separated from the first locking part 312.

[0122] As described above, the base 14 is slidably mounted on one end of the bracket 13. Therefore, the base 14 can be installed and removed from the bracket 13. When the base 14 slides along the installation direction (indicated by arrow a in the figure), when the second locking part 32 reaches the first locking part 312, it drives the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32 to generate a locking force, causing the second locking part 32 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state. During this process, the first mounting part 311 is installed with the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2, and the first mounting part 311 is in the installed state.

[0123] When the base 14 slides in the disassembly direction (indicated by arrow b in the figure), the second locking part 32 slides along with the base 14. Therefore, the second locking part 32 forces the first locking part 312 to move, causing the second locking part 32 to disengage from the first locking part 312, and thus switching the second locking part 32 from the locked state to the unlocked state. The movement of the first locking part 312, in turn, causes the first mounting part 311 to move, thereby switching the first mounting part 311 from the mounted state to the disassembled state, and thus disengaging it from the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2.

[0124] In one embodiment, the linkage 31 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 13, and at least a portion of the first locking part 312 is made of a deformable material. This arrangement is intended so that when the base 14 slides along the mounting direction, the second locking part 32 abuts against the bottom of the first locking part 312, pressing the first locking part 312. The base 14 continues to move forward, locking the second locking part 32 against the first locking part 312. During this process, when at least a portion of the first locking part 312 is made of a deformable material, the first locking part 312 deforms to create clearance space when pressed against the second locking part 312, allowing the user to continue applying force to drive the base 14 to move along the mounting direction, thereby achieving the locking engagement of the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32.

[0125] Specifically, when the base 14 slides along the installation direction, the second locking part 32 applies a force to the first locking part 312, causing the first locking part 312 to deform along a first direction intersecting the sliding direction of the base 14, until the second locking part 32 locks into engagement with the first locking part 312, thus switching the second locking part 32 from the unlocked state to the locked state. During the sliding installation of the base 14, the first mounting part 311 remains in the mounting state to fix the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2 to the bracket 13. In this embodiment, the first direction is the same as the height direction of the housing 1. In other embodiments, the first direction may also be oblique, with an angle between the oblique direction and the sliding direction of the base 14, the angle being greater than 0° and less than 180°, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0126] When the base 14 slides in the disassembly direction, the base 14 drives the second locking part 32 to move, and the second locking part 32 disengages from the first locking part 312 to drive the first locking part 312 to rotate, thereby causing the linkage 31 to rotate. Correspondingly, the first mounting part 311 rotates and then disengages from the first end 21 of the cleaning part 2.

[0127] As described above, when the first locking part 312 slides along the mounting direction on the base 14, the first locking part 312 can deform along the first direction. Accordingly, the first locking part 312 includes a first fixing section 3122, a first locking section 3121, and a deformable section 3123 connecting the first fixing section 3122 and the first locking section 3121. The first fixing section 3122 is disposed on the side away from the base 14, the first locking section 3121 is disposed close to the base 14 to lock and cooperate with the second locking part 32, and the deformable section 3123 has a deformable cavity 3124 for deforming along the first direction.

[0128] In this embodiment, the deformable segment 3123 is U-shaped, and the inner cavity of the U-shape serves as the deformable cavity 3124. In other embodiments, the deformable segment 3123 may also be S-shaped, with the S-shaped deformable segment 3123 having a U-shaped cavity, which serves as the deformable cavity 3124. Alternatively, the deformable segment 3123 may be wavy, etc., without specific limitations, as long as the above-mentioned deformation effect is achieved.

[0129] To facilitate the sliding of the base 14 into position more easily when it slides along the installation direction, a first inclined surface 141 is provided at the end of the base 14 near the first locking part 312. When the base 14 slides along the installation direction, the first locking part 312 slides to the second locking part 32 via the first inclined surface 141, and then locks with the second locking part 32. In this embodiment, in the height direction of the housing 1 (indicated by arrow c in the figure), the first inclined surface 141 is inclined from bottom to top towards the disassembly direction of the base 14.

[0130] To facilitate disengagement between the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32 when the base 14 slides in the disassembly direction, the first locking part 312 and / or the second locking part 32 have a second inclined surface 33. When the base 14 slides in the disassembly direction, the first locking part 312 disengages from the second locking part 32 along the second inclined surface 33. In this embodiment, in the height direction of the housing 1, the second inclined surface 33 is inclined from bottom to top towards the disassembly direction of the base 14.

[0131] One of the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32 is a slot or socket, and the other is a protrusion. In this embodiment, the first locking part 312 is a protrusion, and the second locking part 32 is a slot or socket. Furthermore, to make the structure of the base 14 more compact, the slot or socket is directly formed on the side of the base 14 closest to the bracket 13. In the locked state, the protrusion is inserted into the socket or slot; in the unlocked state, the protrusion is disengaged from the slot or socket. In other embodiments, the first locking part 312 may also be a slot or socket, and the second locking part 32 may be a protrusion; no specific limitation is made here, and it depends on the actual situation.

[0132] In another embodiment, the linkage 31 is slidably mounted on the bracket 13. The linkage 31 has a slider, and the bracket 13 has a groove. Alternatively, the slider can be mounted on the bracket 13, and the groove can also be mounted on the linkage 31. In this case, one of the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32 is a retaining groove, and the other is a retaining block. When the base 14 slides into place along the installation direction, the retaining groove and the retaining block engage to lock the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32. During this process, the first mounting part 311 remains mounted to the first end 21 of the cleaning part 2. When the base 14 slides along the disassembly direction, the second locking part 32 moves the first locking part 312, and the first mounting part 311 disengages from the first end 21 of the cleaning part 2 to switch from the mounted state to the disassembled state. When the linkage 31 slides to the end of the slot on the bracket 13, the linkage 31 can no longer slide, and the first locking part 312 and the second locking part 32 disengage under the action of external force, and then switch from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0133] The locking assembly 3 also includes at least one first biasing member 34 disposed on the bracket 13. The first biasing member 34 applies a biasing force to the first locking part 312 or the first mounting part 311, causing the first mounting part 311 to tend to remain in the mounted state. In this embodiment, the first biasing member 34 is a spring, specifically a compression spring or a tension spring. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the bracket 13, and the other end of the second elastic member is connected to the deformable section 3123 of the first locking part 312. Furthermore, the first elastic member is disposed along the height direction of the housing 1, thereby always applying a downward biasing force to the first locking part 312, thereby enabling the linkage 31 to remain in the mounted state with the first end 21 of the cleaning member 2 in the initial state (when the second locking part 32 does not compress the first locking part 312).

[0134] As described above, the cleaning component 2 is replaceable. Therefore, at least part of the base 14 can be detachably installed on the second end 22 of the cleaning component 2, so that the cleaning component 2 can be completely disassembled from the housing 1 after the cleaning mechanism has completed the cleaning work. The first end 21 and the second end 22 are the two ends of the cleaning component 2, and the first part and the second part of the cleaning component 2 are located between the first end 21 and the second end 22.

[0135] Please combine Figure 5 The cleaning mechanism also includes at least one fixing component 4, which is used to lock the second end 22 of the cleaning component 2 onto the base 14 and to unlock it from the base 14.

[0136] Specifically, the fixing component 4 includes a fixing member 41. This fixing member 41 is movably mounted on the base 14, and its two ends serve as a pressing part 411 and a second mounting part 412, respectively. The pressing part 411 is driven by a driving force, and the second mounting part 412 is used for mounting the second end 22. The driving force can be a force applied by the user, or a mechanical force, such as the mechanical force applied by the extension and retraction of a cylinder shaft. This is not specifically limited and depends on the actual situation.

[0137] One end of the base 14 has a clearance area. When the pressing part 411 moves under the action of the driving force, it can move within the clearance area to prevent one end of the base 14 from restricting the movement of the pressing part 411.

[0138] Under the action of driving force, the fixing member 41 moves relative to the base 14, which in turn drives the second mounting part 412 to move, so that the second mounting part 412 is installed or detached from the second end 22 of the cleaning member 2.

[0139] In one embodiment, the fixing member 41 is rotatably connected to the base 14. The fixing member 41 rotates under the action of a driving force to drive the second mounting portion 412 to rotate. In another embodiment, the fixing member 41 is slidably connected to the base 14. The fixing member 41 slides under the action of a driving force to drive the second mounting portion 412 to slide. In this embodiment, the fixing member 41 is specifically described as rotatably connected to the bracket 13.

[0140] A second mating part 221 is provided on the second end 22, which mates with the second mounting part 412 to mount the second end 22 of the cleaning component 2 onto the base 14. In one embodiment, one of the second mounting part 412 and the second mating part 221 is a hook, and the other is a hanging hole, allowing for detachable connection by hanging the hook onto the hanging hole. In another embodiment, both the second mounting part 412 and the second mating part 221 are magnetic, and the base 14 and the second end 22 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction.

[0141] The fixing component 4 also includes a second biasing member 42. The fixing member 41 is driven by the biasing force of the second biasing member 42 to keep the second mounting part 412 locked to the second end 22. One end of the second biasing member 42 is connected to the fixing member 41, and the other end of the second biasing member 42 is connected to the base 14. The pressing part 411 is driven by a driving force, which moves the fixing member 41 to overcome the biasing force and drive the second mounting part 412 to separate from the second end 22. In this embodiment, the second biasing member 42 is a spring, specifically a compression spring or a tension spring.

[0142] As can be seen from the above, the first mounting part 311 of the locking component 3 is used to install and fix the first end 21 of the cleaning component 2, and the second mounting part 412 of the fixing component 4 is used to install and fix the second end 22 of the cleaning component 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, the locking component 3 is located outside the receiving cavity 11, and the fixing component 4 is also located outside the receiving cavity 11.

[0143] Specifically, the first mounting portion 311 and / or the second mounting portion 412 extend beyond the side wall of the base 14. Correspondingly, the first end 21 and / or the second end 22 of the cleaning component 2 have a bent section that bends from the first outer wall 145 toward the side wall, and the first mounting portion 311 and / or the second mounting portion 412 are fixed or detached from this bent section.

[0144] As described above, at least a first portion of the cleaning component 2 is adsorbed onto the inner wall of the support 13 under the action of adsorption force. Therefore, the housing 1 is provided with at least one ventilation hole 15 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. In one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism further includes a negative pressure generator communicating with the ventilation hole 15 to generate negative pressure in the receiving cavity 11 through the ventilation hole 15, the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator serving as the adsorption force. In another embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a suction duct 16 communicating with the ventilation hole 15, the suction duct 16 communicating with the vacuum motor on the main body of the cleaning device, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum motor serving as the adsorption force.

[0145] Alternatively, the housing 1 may also include a top cover 17, which is sealed and detachably mounted on the top of the bracket 13, and a base 14 is sealed on the bottom of the bracket 13. In this case, the aforementioned ventilation hole 15 is provided on the bracket 13, and the suction duct 16 is provided on the top cover 17, communicating with the receiving cavity 11 through the ventilation hole 15. The suction duct 16 is adapted to communicate with a negative pressure generator, which may be located within the space formed by the top cover 17 and the bracket 13, or the negative pressure generator may be located on the main body of the cleaning equipment.

[0146] In this embodiment, when the cleaning component 2 is installed with the housing 1, the first wall surface of the housing 1 faces upward (the upward direction is the height direction of the housing 1). Under the action of gravity, the first bent portion 61 of the holding component 6 separates from the second bent portion 144 at the other end of the base 14, and the first part of the cleaning component 2 falls into the recessed cavity under the action of gravity. The transition section of the cleaning component 2 is inserted into the first stop component 5. After pushing the base 14 to slide along the installation direction to the target position (the target position is when the base 14 is installed in place), the entire cleaning mechanism is flipped over. Under the action of gravity and the third biasing component 62, the first bent portion 61 of the holding component 6 abuts against the second bent portion 144 to press and fix the first part of the cleaning component 2 to the base 14.

[0147] Example 2

[0148] This embodiment provides a cleaning device, including a main body, a cleaning mechanism connected to the main body, and a cleaning component detachably mounted on the housing of the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is the same as that described in Embodiment 1 above. The main body includes at least a negative pressure generator, which is a motor.

[0149] The cleaning component is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the housing at both ends. Specifically, the cleaning component is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the housing that contacts the surface to be cleaned, allowing the cleaning component to clean the surface. The purpose of detaching the cleaning component from the outer wall of the housing is twofold: first, when the cleaning component is reusable, it allows the user to easily remove the cleaning component from the housing for cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency; second, when the cleaning component is disposable, it allows the user to easily remove the cleaning component directly from the housing after the cleaning equipment has completed its cleaning task.

[0150] The cleaning device can be handheld, in which case it also includes a pole. One end of the pole is connected to the cleaning mechanism, and the other end serves as a handle for user operation. The main body of the device is mounted on the pole. By manipulating the pole, the user can control the direction of movement of the cleaning mechanism, thereby achieving the cleaning of the surface to be cleaned.

[0151] The cleaning equipment can be automatic, in which case the main body of the machine can be integrated with the cleaning mechanism to make the overall structure of the cleaning mechanism more compact.

[0152] Obviously, the embodiments described above are merely some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications without creative effort, and all such variations or modifications should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
