Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of floor scrubbing machine technology, and specifically relates to a self-cleaning floor scrubbing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Floor scrubbers are portable cleaning machines that integrate brushing, sweeping, and wastewater collection, and are widely used in offices and homes. Existing floor scrubbers typically consist of two parts: a main unit and a base station. The base station houses and cleans the main unit. Cleaning the main unit usually involves only simple rinsing, drying, and disinfecting the cleaning rollers and wastewater container. However, it cannot effectively and automatically deep clean stubborn stains and grease inside the wastewater container. When deep cleaning is needed, the wastewater container usually needs to be manually disassembled, cleaned, and reinstalled. This is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to insert cleaning tools into the container to clean its inner walls. Furthermore, using standard-temperature water or soapy water is insufficient to effectively remove grease and stubborn stains from the floor. Therefore, existing floor scrubbers generally suffer from poor grease removal capabilities and the inability to effectively deep clean the wastewater container.
[0003] Patent application number "202411817592.6" discloses a method for cleaning a base station, cleaning equipment, and drying control. It primarily uses a first fan connected to a drying duct to generate airflow within the duct. A heating device is also connected to the drying duct to heat the air inside. Through the combined action of the first fan, heating device, and drying duct, hot air is generated for drying moisture. However, the overall solution only addresses the technical issues of optimizing and deeply drying the wastewater container and brush head, without addressing how to deeply clean residual stains on the inner wall of the wastewater container or how to improve the cleaning effect on oil stains and stubborn dirt on the floor.
[0004] The above background information is provided only to aid in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention. It does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the vacuum blower is connected to the top of the sewage tank, and a return water pipe is provided inside the sewage tank. One end of the return water pipe extends towards the top of the sewage tank and a guide rod is provided at the end face. A slidable baffle is provided on the guide rod. The bottom of the baffle can cover the opening of one end of the return water pipe. The other end of the return water pipe extends downward from the bottom of the sewage tank. When the sewage tank and the water tank mounting groove are assembled together, the other end of the return water pipe can extend into the rubber sealing cover and the flange can abut against the bottom of the sewage tank.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The self-cleaning floor scrubber of this invention has a spray valve assembly and a first water inlet connected to it at the bottom of the wastewater tank. When the main unit and the cleaning base station are installed together, the wastewater tank interface on the cleaning base station is connected to the first water inlet. High-pressure water flow can be provided to the spray valve assembly through the water supply pipeline, thereby performing high-pressure deep cleaning of the inner wall of the wastewater tank. In addition, a heating pipe is also installed in the water supply pipeline, so that the water can be heated and added to the clean water tank or directly sprayed at high pressure onto the inner wall of the wastewater tank. With the addition of cleaning agent in the water bucket, the floor cleaning effect and the deep cleaning effect of the wastewater tank can be improved.
[0017] 2. The third water inlet in this invention can be directly connected to an external water source, and the drain pipe can be directly connected to a floor drain, so it can be conveniently connected and used in areas such as balconies or bathrooms. In addition, a liquid level sensor is installed in the sewage tank, which can stop the machine and alarm in time when the water distribution pipe is blocked, so as to avoid sewage overflow caused by blockage.
[0018] 3. In this invention, the water supply pipeline is connected to the clean water tank interface and the wastewater tank interface via a first branch and a second branch, respectively. The heating pipe is installed in the first branch, and its rear end is connected to the connection end of the first and second branches via a return water circuit. This design can meet four functional requirements: First, by directly opening the second solenoid valve in the first branch and closing the second and third diaphragm pumps, hot water can be added to the clean water tank; Second, by closing the second solenoid valve and simultaneously opening the first, second, and third diaphragm pumps, hot water can be added by passing it through the first, second, and third diaphragm pumps. The system employs several techniques: First, high-pressure jets are sprayed into the wastewater tank for powerful cleaning to remove stubborn stains. Second, when the second and third solenoid valves are opened simultaneously, the first, second, and third diaphragm pumps can simultaneously perform medium-temperature, medium-intensity cleaning of the wastewater tank and inject medium-temperature water into the clean water tank. Third, when the heating element is closed, and the second and third solenoid valves are opened simultaneously, the first and second diaphragm pumps can be opened to add room-temperature water to the clean water tank and perform a light, room-temperature cleaning of the wastewater tank. This allows for more functions with fewer pipework components and provides higher jet water pressure for cleaning the wastewater tank.
[0019] 4. The water spray valve assembly in this invention can automatically open when a certain water pressure is reached, and can form a good seal when closed. Furthermore, the structural design of the water groove cut vertically around the valve core enables the water spray valve to spray high-pressure water jets in a vertical fan shape at multiple angles around the circumference. In addition, two sets of water spray valve assemblies are set in the sewage tank, which realizes the coverage of multiple spray areas in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and comprehensively improves the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the sewage tank.
[0020] 5. In this invention, the sealing cover is locked by an elastic plate when closed. The automatic opening and closing of the sealing cover can be controlled by the first servo motor, eccentric wheel, cylindrical pin and rotating block. This prevents the sealing cover from being unable to open due to adhesion between the rubber sealing gasket and the drain outlet when the sealing cover is opened by gravity of the sewage in the sewage tank.
[0021] 6. The top of the return water pipe in this invention is provided with a guide rod and a baffle. When the inner wall of the sewage tank is flushed, the baffle falls freely and blocks the opening of the return water pipe to prevent water from spraying into the return water pipe and leaking out from the suction port. When a negative pressure is generated in the sewage tank, the baffle can be opened so that the back-suctioned sewage flows into the sewage tank.
[0022] 7. The rubber sealing cover of the present invention has an outwardly flared top, which can not only play a certain guiding role when the sewage tank and the water tank are assembled with each other, but also abut against the bottom of the sewage tank to produce elastic deformation, thereby sealing the connection area between the return water pipe and the suction pipe.
