Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of floor cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a base and floor cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve and automated products become more and more common, household floor scrubbers are appearing more and more frequently in people's lives. They play a positive role in reducing the burden of housework and keeping the environment clean. In order to ensure the normal use of floor scrubbers, the maintenance and cleaning issues after the use of floor scrubbers are also receiving more and more attention.

[0003] Some existing floor scrubbers with bases already have a self-cleaning function. When the scrubber is placed on the base, the roller brush is self-cleaned through spraying cleaning solution to wet it, the roller brush rotates, and warm air dries it. However, currently, this cleaning method has limited effectiveness in cleaning the roller brush, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Accordingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems in the prior art, namely, to resolve the issue of poor self-cleaning performance of the roller brush in existing floor cleaning equipment, which negatively impacts user experience, this application provides a base for floor cleaning equipment, the base comprising:

[0006] The main body has a placement groove on its top surface that can accommodate the body of the floor cleaning equipment. The placement groove has an opening on one side that can accommodate a groove for a roller brush located below the body.

[0007] A first elastic seal is provided on the opening side of the groove, extending along the length direction of the groove.

[0008] Two second elastic seals are vertically disposed on two opposing sidewalls of the groove, and the lower end of each second elastic seal is connected to one end of the first elastic seal.

[0009] The extrusion mechanism includes an extrusion member disposed on the sidewall of the groove in a manner that allows it to slide toward or away from the second resilient seal;

[0010] During the process of placing the body of the floor cleaning equipment into the placement slot, the bottom of the body presses against the first elastic seal, causing the first elastic seal to undergo elastic deformation to form a bottom seal. The side of the body drives the extruder to slide toward the second elastic seal and press against the second elastic seal, causing the second elastic seal to undergo elastic deformation and abut against the side of the body to form a side seal.

[0011] The base of this application, by providing a groove and incorporating a first elastic seal, a second elastic seal, and a pressing mechanism within the groove, allows the machine body to form a water collection tank when placed in the groove. This allows for the storage of more cleaning fluid in the water collection tank during roller brush self-cleaning, ensuring the roller brush is fully soaked and cleaned, thus improving the self-cleaning effect. The pressing mechanism slides to compress the second elastic seal, causing it to deform and abut against the side of the machine body, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing cleaning fluid leakage.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the base described above, the extrusion mechanism further includes a transmission component, which is vertically slidably disposed on the side wall of the groove and abuts against the extrusion component. During the process of placing the body of the floor cleaning equipment in the placement groove, the side of the body drives the transmission component to slide downward, thereby the transmission component pushes the extrusion component to slide toward the second elastic seal.

[0013] By setting up a transmission component, the natural movement of the machine body placed on the base can be used to trigger the transmission component to drive the sliding movement of the extrusion component, simplifying operation and reducing the user's learning cost.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the base described above, the transmission component includes a transmission block and a transmission rod. The transmission block has an inclined surface facing the extruder. The transmission rod is fixedly connected to the transmission block and is vertically slidably disposed on the side wall of the groove.

[0015] By setting an inclined surface on the transmission block, the inclined surface can be used to drive the extrusion part to slide during the descent of the transmission block, thereby reducing sliding resistance.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the base described above, a cover plate is also provided on the side wall of the groove, the cover plate covers the transmission member and the extrusion member, and a first elongated hole extending vertically is formed on the cover plate, the transmission member extending out from the first elongated hole.

[0017] By installing a cover plate, the extrusion mechanism can be protected, preventing damage to it. The transmission component extends from the cover plate, and its lifting and lowering can be triggered by pressing down on the bottom of the machine body.

[0018] In the preferred embodiment of the base described above, the groove is detachably disposed in the placement groove, or the groove is integrally formed with the placement groove.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the aforementioned base, the first elastic seal is integrally formed with the two second elastic seals; and / or

[0020] The first elastic seal and the second elastic seal are elastic rubber tubes.

[0021] The first elastic seal is integrally molded with the two second elastic seals, which helps to improve the overall sealing effect. Using elastic tubing as the elastic seal has two advantages: first, it can generate a large elastic deformation to improve the sealing effect; second, the elastic recovery of the elastic tubing can be used to reset the transmission components and extrusion components, reducing structural complexity.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the base described above, the base further includes a splash guard, which surrounds the upper side of the groove and extends toward the inside of the groove.

[0023] By setting up splash-proof edges, the cleaning liquid can be prevented from splashing out during the cleaning process, which is conducive to achieving high-speed cleaning of the roller brush. During high-speed cleaning, the body, base and other parts can be cleaned.

[0024] In the preferred embodiment of the aforementioned base, the splash guard is injection molded to the upper side of the groove; and / or

[0025] The cross-section of the splash guard is arc-shaped; and / or

[0026] The splash guard is made of elastic rubber.

[0027] The splash guard is injection molded on the upper side of the groove, which helps to improve the splash protection effect.

[0028] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned base, multiple liquid inlets are provided on the sidewalls opposite to the opening side of the groove, and multiple liquid inlet pipes are provided on the main body, with each liquid inlet pipe corresponding to one of the liquid inlets; and / or

[0029] The base also includes a heating element disposed on the body and configured to heat the cleaning fluid entering the tank.

[0030] By incorporating a heating element, the cleaning solution can be heated, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0031] This application also provides a floor cleaning device, which includes a body and a base as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0032] The floor cleaning equipment of this application, by providing a groove on the base and incorporating a first elastic seal, a second elastic seal, and a squeezing mechanism within the groove, allows the machine body to form a water collection tank when placed in the groove. This allows for the storage of more cleaning fluid in the water collection tank during roller brush self-cleaning, ensuring the roller brush is fully soaked and cleaned, thus improving the self-cleaning effect. The squeezing mechanism slides to compress the second elastic seal, causing it to deform and abut against the side of the machine body, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing cleaning fluid leakage.

[0042] Preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. For example, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with a floor scrubber, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can apply this application to other application scenarios without departing from the principles of this application. For example, this application can also be applied to robotic vacuum cleaners, etc.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Additionally, in the description of this application, "a plurality of" refers to at least two.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] First refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base of this application is described below.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, to address the issues of poor self-cleaning performance and negative user experience associated with existing floor cleaning equipment, the base 10 of this application includes a body 11, a first elastic seal 13, a second elastic seal 14, and a pressing mechanism 15. The top surface of the body 11 forms a placement groove 111 capable of accommodating the body 20 of the floor cleaning equipment. The placement groove 111 has an opening on one side that accommodates a roller brush positioned below the body 20. The first elastic seal 13 extends along the length of the groove 12 and is disposed on the opening side of the groove 12. Two second elastic seals 14 are provided, vertically disposed on two opposing sidewalls of the groove 12, with the lower end of each second elastic seal 14 connected to one end of the first elastic seal 13. The pressing mechanism 15 includes a pressing member 151, which is slidably disposed on the sidewall of the groove 12, allowing it to move closer to or away from the second elastic seal 14.

[0047] During application, after cleaning the floor, the body 20 of the floor cleaning equipment is placed on the base 10. At this time, the bottom of the body 20 presses against the first elastic seal 13, causing the first elastic seal 13 to undergo elastic deformation, thus sealing the bottom of the body 20 with the groove 12. The side of the body 20 drives the pressing member 151 to slide towards the second elastic seal 14, thereby pressing the second elastic seal 14, causing the two second elastic seals 14 to undergo elastic deformation and abut against the two sides of the body 20, forming a seal between the sides of the body 20 and the groove 12. At this time, a water collection trough is formed between the body 20 and the bottom, and between the two sides and the groove 12, and the roller brush at the bottom of the body 20 is located in the water collection trough.

[0048] Next, the self-cleaning mode is activated. First, cleaning solution is injected into the water collection tank, and the roller brush is immersed in the cleaning solution. Then, the roller brush is started to rotate and clean itself. After cleaning, the wastewater is drained from the water collection tank. At this point, the self-cleaning of the roller brush is complete.

[0049] The base 10 of this application, by providing a groove 12 and housing a first elastic seal 13, a second elastic seal 14, and a pressing mechanism 15 within the groove 12, allows the machine body 20 to form a water collection tank with the groove 12 when placed in the placement groove 111. This allows more cleaning fluid to be stored in the water collection tank during roller brush self-cleaning, ensuring the roller brush is fully soaked and cleaned, thus improving the self-cleaning effect. The pressing mechanism 151 slides to press the second elastic seal 14, causing it to deform and abut against the side of the machine body 20, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing cleaning fluid leakage.

[0050] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This application will now describe a specific embodiment of the base 10.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the base 10 includes a body 11, a groove 12, a first elastic seal 13, a second elastic seal 14, a pressing mechanism 15, a splash guard 17, and a heating element (not shown in the figure).

[0052] A placement groove 111 is formed on the top of the main body 11. The placement groove 111 is generally rectangular, and the body 20 of the floor cleaning equipment can be placed in the placement groove 111. Multiple liquid inlet pipes are also provided inside the main body 11. The heating element and the multiple liquid inlet pipes are simultaneously disposed inside the main body 11. The heating element can be disposed inside the liquid inlet pipe or sleeved on a heating pipe, and is used to heat the liquid inside the liquid inlet pipe. One end of the liquid inlet pipe extends to the side wall of one end of the placement groove 111 to guide the cleaning liquid into the tank section 12. The heating element is not limited in this application and can be a PTC heater or other commonly used electric heaters.

[0053] The groove 12 is detachably disposed on one end of the placement groove 111, and one side of the groove 12 is configured as an open side. After installation, the open side of the groove 12 faces the interior of the placement groove 111. Specifically, the groove 12 is a plastic part, which includes a bottom wall and three side walls surrounding the bottom wall. A recessed structure is formed in the bottom wall for accommodating the roller brush. The three side walls are connected to each other, and the bottom of the three side walls is connected to the three sides of the bottom wall. The top of the three side walls has an outward flange. Among the three side walls, two shorter side walls are arranged opposite each other, and a longer side wall is located between the two shorter side walls and is arranged opposite to the open side of the groove 12. The extending direction of the longer side wall is consistent with the length direction of the roller brush. Further, a plurality of liquid inlets 121 are provided on the side wall opposite to the open side, and each liquid inlet 121 is arranged in correspondence with a liquid inlet pipe. In this application, four liquid inlets 121 are provided, and each liquid inlet 121 corresponds to one liquid inlet pipe. In this way, the cleaning fluid can be guided into the tank 12 through the inlet pipe, and the heating element can also heat the cleaning fluid before it enters the tank 12.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will understand that although the source of the cleaning fluid is not described in this application, this is not to confuse them. They can use common methods in the art to provide the cleaning fluid. For example, a cleaning fluid container can be installed on the base 10, and a power element such as a pump can be used to pump the cleaning fluid from the container to the tank 12. Alternatively, a clean water tank can be installed on the base 10, and a pump can be used to pump the water from the clean water tank to the tank 12 (in this case, the cleaning fluid is water). Furthermore, the water tank on the body 20 of the floor cleaning equipment and a power element can be used to transport the water from the water tank in the body 20 to the tank 12.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14 are both elastic rubber tubes, and the first elastic seal 13 and the two second elastic seals 14 are integrally formed. The first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14 can be installed in the groove 12 by means of bonding, injection molding, or snap-fit, wherein the first elastic seal 13 is located on the bottom wall near the opening side, and the two second elastic seals 14 are located on the two side walls respectively. The elastic rubber tube can be made of materials with good elasticity such as silicone, rubber, or latex.

[0056] A splash guard 17 surrounds the upper side of the groove 12 and extends towards the interior of the groove 12. Specifically, the splash guard 17 is made of elastic rubber, and its cross-section is arc-shaped. The splash guard 17 is formed by injection molding onto the outer flange at the top of the three side walls. When the body 20 of the floor cleaning equipment is placed on the base 10, the splash guard 17 covers the upper front part of the body. During the self-cleaning process, the cleaning fluid ejected by the rotating brush is blocked by the splash guard 17, preventing the cleaning fluid from splashing out.

[0057] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The extrusion mechanism 15 includes an extrusion member 151 and a transmission member 152. Two extrusion members 151 and two transmission members 152 are provided, with each extrusion member 151 and its corresponding transmission member 152 forming a group. The two groups of extrusion members 151 and transmission members 152 are respectively disposed on the two relatively short sidewalls opposite to each other. For each group, the extrusion member 151 is slidably disposed on the sidewall of the groove 12, and the transmission member 152 is vertically slidably disposed on the sidewall of the groove 12, and the transmission member 152 abuts against the extrusion member 151. Specifically, a second elongated hole 122 and a third elongated hole 123 are provided on the sidewall of the groove 12, wherein the second elongated hole 122 extends horizontally, and the third elongated hole 123 extends vertically. The extrusion component 151 includes an integrally formed extrusion block 1511 and an extrusion plate 1512. The extrusion block 1511 is located on one side of the extrusion plate 1512, and sliders are respectively provided on both sides of the extrusion block 1511. One of the sliders is slidably disposed in the second elongated hole 122. The transmission component 152 includes a transmission block 1521 and a transmission rod 1522 connected to each other. The extrusion block 1511 and the transmission block 1521 each have inclined surfaces facing each other. The transmission rod 1522 is L-shaped. The upper end of the vertical section of the L-shape extends outward to form a sliding rib. The sliding rib passes through a through hole on the transmission block 1521 and is slidably disposed in the third elongated hole 123. The horizontal section of the L-shape extends into the groove 12. Cover plates 16 are also provided on the two oppositely arranged side walls of the groove 12. The cover plates 16 are screwed onto the transmission component 152 and the extrusion component 151. The cover plate 16 also has a vertically extending first elongated hole 161 and a horizontally set notch 162. After the cover plate 16 is connected, the horizontal section of the L-shaped transmission rod 1522 extends out from the first elongated hole 161, and the slider on the other side of the extrusion block 1511 can slide in the notch 162.

[0058] Taking a floor scrubber as an example, during the process of placing the scrubber body 20 vertically into the placement trough 111, two L-shaped transmission rods 1522 are pressed down from the bottom of the body 20. Under the downward pressure, the two L-shaped transmission rods 1522 slide downwards. During this downward sliding, due to the inclined surface cooperation between the transmission block 1521 and the extrusion block 1511, the extrusion block 1511 drives the extrusion plate 1512 to slide towards the second elastic seal 14. Ultimately, the second elastic seal 14 is squeezed by the extrusion plate 1512, causing elastic deformation and abutting against the side of the body 20, forming a side seal. When the body 20 falls to its final position, the bottom of the body 20 presses against the first elastic seal 13, causing the first elastic seal 13 to undergo elastic deformation, forming a bottom seal with the bottom of the body 20. The splash guard 17 covers the front upper cover of the body 20.

[0059] During the self-cleaning process, the cleaning fluid enters the tank 12 from the floor scrubber's water tank via the inlet pipe and inlet 121. As it passes through the inlet pipe, the cleaning fluid is heated by the heating element. After the roller brush is immersed in the cleaning fluid, it is started to rotate, agitating the cleaning fluid to clean the brush. Due to the action of the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14, the cleaning fluid will not leak from the bottom of the machine. The splash guard 17 prevents the cleaning fluid ejected by the roller brush from leaking out and falls into the tank. After self-cleaning is complete, the floor scrubber's exhaust fan is activated to create negative pressure, drawing wastewater through the suction port (usually behind the roller brush) on the machine body 20 into the floor scrubber's wastewater tank.

[0060] After self-cleaning, when the machine body 20 is lifted, the elastic deformation of the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14 is restored. During the deformation restoration process of the second elastic seal 14, it drives the extrusion member 151 and the transmission member 152 to move in opposite directions, thereby realizing the reset of the extrusion member 151 and the transmission member 152.

[0061] In the above configuration, the first elastic seal 13 and the two second elastic seals 14 are integrally formed, which helps to improve the overall sealing effect. Using an elastic tube as the elastic seal has two advantages: firstly, it can generate a large elastic deformation to improve the sealing effect; secondly, the elastic recovery of the elastic tube can be used to reset the transmission component 152 and the extrusion component 151, reducing structural complexity. The splash guard 17 prevents cleaning fluid from splashing during the cleaning process, facilitating high-speed cleaning of the roller brush and enabling cleaning of the machine body 20, base 10, and other parts during high-speed cleaning. The splash guard 17 is injection molded on the upper side of the groove 12, which helps to improve the splash prevention effect. The heating element can heat the cleaning fluid, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The transmission component 152 can be triggered by the natural movement of the machine body 20 placed on the base 10 to drive the sliding movement of the extrusion component 151, simplifying operation and reducing the user's learning cost. By providing inclined surfaces on the transmission block 1521 and the extrusion block 1511, the extrusion member 151 can be driven to slide during the descent of the transmission block 1521, reducing sliding resistance. The cover plate 16 protects the extrusion mechanism 15, preventing damage. The transmission member 152 extends from the cover plate 16, allowing its lifting and lowering motion to be triggered by the downward pressure of the bottom of the machine body 20.

[0062] It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can adjust the above settings to make this application applicable to more specific application scenarios.

[0063] For example, in an alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described as an integrally formed elastic tube combining the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14, this is merely a preferred embodiment, and those skilled in the art can adjust it. For example, the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14 are independent of each other and connected by means of bonding or the like. Furthermore, the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14 can also be other sealing materials with elastic deformation, such as elastic rubber strips, but compared to elastic tubes, the elastic deformation effect of elastic rubber strips is slightly inferior.

[0064] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the splash guard 17 is merely a preferred embodiment. By providing the splash guard 17, the cleaning fluid can be prevented from splashing, thereby significantly improving the self-cleaning effect. Of course, those skilled in the art can omit the splash guard 17 and only provide the first elastic seal 13 and the second elastic seal 14. Furthermore, in addition to the elastic rubber, the splash guard 17 can also be replaced by other materials such as a rigid plastic cover; the cross-section of the splash guard 17 can be straight or other shapes in addition to an arc shape, as long as it can prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing outwards. In addition, the splash guard 17 can be connected by bonding, pressing, snap-fitting, etc., in addition to being injection molded to the groove 12. Furthermore, in addition to covering the front of the machine body, the splash guard 17 can be further configured to abut against the machine body through elastic deformation, thus forming a relatively sealed space between it and the machine body, further preventing the cleaning fluid from splashing outwards.

[0065] For example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described with the example of the groove 12 being detachably connected to the body 11, the detachable connection of the groove 12 is only a preferred embodiment. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also integrally form the groove 12 in the placement groove 111.

[0066] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the specific implementation of the extrusion mechanism 15 is not fixed. Under the premise that the extrusion mechanism 15 can extrude the second elastic seal 14, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific structure of the extrusion mechanism 15. For instance, the extrusion mechanism 15 may only include an extrusion member 151, such as an extrusion block 1511 protruding into the placement groove 111. When the machine body 20 is pressed down, the bottom of the machine body 20 abuts against the inclined surface of the extrusion block 1511, thereby driving the extrusion member 151 to slide laterally. Alternatively, the transmission member 152 may only include a transmission rod 1522, which abuts against the inclined surface of the extrusion block 1511 by sliding up and down, thereby driving the extrusion member 151 to slide. Furthermore, the specific structure of the transmission rod 1522 is not limited in this application. Although the above embodiments are described using an L-shaped example, the transmission rod 1522 can also have other structural forms, such as a straight rod.

[0067] For example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described in conjunction with the deformation recovery of the second elastic seal 14 to drive the resetting of the extrusion member 151 and the transmission member 152, those skilled in the art can also achieve the resetting of the two by setting a spring to push the extrusion member 151 or the transmission member 152.

[0068] For example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described with the example of a cover plate 16 provided on the side wall, the provision of the cover plate 16 is not mandatory, and those skilled in the art can selectively provide the cover plate 16. Furthermore, the cover plate 16 can also be provided on the outer side wall, in which case the transmission member 152 extends into the groove 12 through the elongated hole provided on the side wall.

[0069] For example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described with the second elongated hole 122 and the third elongated hole 123 provided on the side wall of the groove 12 as an example, this arrangement is not unique, and those skilled in the art can adjust it as long as effective sliding of the extruder 151 and the transmission member 152 can be achieved. For example, at least one of the second elongated hole 122 and the third elongated hole 123 can be replaced with a sliding groove. Alternatively, at least one of the second elongated hole 122 and the third elongated hole 123 can be replaced with a slider, and elongated sliding holes can be formed on the extruder 151 and the transmission member 152.

[0070] For example, in another alternative embodiment, a receiving groove can be provided on the groove 12 at the position corresponding to the L-shaped transmission rod 1522 to accommodate the horizontal section of the L-shaped transmission rod 1522, so as to avoid the influence of the horizontal section of the L-shaped transmission rod 1522 on the sealing effect.

[0071] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the liquid inlet 121, the liquid inlet pipe, and the heating element are merely illustrative examples, and those skilled in the art can choose whether to include the above components based on specific application scenarios. For instance, the liquid inlet 121, the liquid inlet pipe, and the heating element can be omitted, and the spray structure on the floor scrubber body 20 can be used to inject the cleaning liquid, or the heating element can be placed on the floor scrubber body 20 to heat the cleaning liquid, etc.

[0072] Of course, the alternative implementation methods described above, as well as the alternative implementation methods and preferred implementation methods, can be used in combination to create new implementation methods that are suitable for more specific application scenarios.

[0073] This application also provides a floor cleaning device, which includes a body 20 and a base 10 as described in the above embodiments.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the floor cleaning equipment is a floor scrubber, which includes a base 10, a body 20, and a handle 30. The body 20 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the handle 30, and a clean water tank and a wastewater tank are provided on the handle 30. When the body 20 is placed on the base 10, the clean water tank can be connected to the liquid inlet pipe.

[0075] The floor cleaning equipment of this application, by providing a groove 12 on the base 10, and providing a first elastic seal 13, a second elastic seal 14, and a squeezing mechanism 15 within the groove 12, allows the machine body 20 to form a water collection tank with the groove 12 when placed in the placement groove 111. This allows more cleaning fluid to be stored in the water collection tank during roller brush self-cleaning, ensuring the roller brush is fully soaked and cleaned, thus improving the self-cleaning effect. The second elastic seal 14 is squeezed by the sliding of the squeezing member 151, causing the second elastic seal 14 to deform and abut against the side of the machine body 20, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing cleaning fluid leakage.
