Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and more particularly to a floor brush, cleaning equipment, cleaning system, and control method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, cleaning equipment is increasingly used in people's lives, greatly reducing the burden of manpower.

[0003] Taking a floor scrubber as an example, the floor scrubber's brush consists of a brush body and a roller brush. The roller brush can rotate relative to the brush body to clean the surface to be cleaned at the bottom of the brush. Specifically, the brush usually travels on the ground, allowing it to clean dirt only on horizontal surfaces like the floor.

[0004] However, vertical surfaces such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides are difficult to clean effectively. Cleaning these areas usually requires users to bend over and manually clean them, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Furthermore, prolonged bending over can easily cause dizziness, blurred vision, and back pain, significantly reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a floor brush, cleaning equipment, cleaning system, and control method that can clean baseboards, furniture sidewalls, wall sidewalls, and other areas without requiring manual cleaning by the user. This can effectively reduce or avoid dizziness, blurred vision, back pain, and other symptoms experienced by the user, thereby significantly reducing the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a floor brush for use in a cleaning device, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the floor brush;

[0008] A roller brush, which is rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush, is used to clean a first surface to be cleaned.

[0009] A mop, which is rotatably connected to the floor brush body, is at least partially mounted on the bottom of the floor brush body, and is configured to extend and swing outward relative to the floor brush body;

[0010] When the mop is extended, the cleaning surface of the mop contacts the first surface to be cleaned, which is away from the bottom of the floor brush body;

[0011] When the mop is in an outward-swept, flipped state, the cleaning surface of the mop comes into contact with the second surface to be cleaned.

[0012] The first surface to be cleaned extends horizontally, and the extension direction of the second surface to be cleaned is at an angle to the extension direction of the first surface to be cleaned.

[0013] The floor brush provided in this application embodiment extends and rotates the mop relative to the brush body. When the mop is extended, its cleaning surface can clean the first surface to be cleaned (i.e., the floor) away from the bottom of the brush body. When the mop is rotated outward, its cleaning surface can clean the second surface to be cleaned, such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides, which are angled to the floor. This allows the floor brush to clean baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides in addition to regular cleaning, saving time and effort and effectively improving cleaning efficiency for these areas. Moreover, it eliminates the need for users to bend over and manually clean, effectively reducing or avoiding dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, thus alleviating the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the extension direction of the second surface to be cleaned is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first surface to be cleaned.

[0015] That is, the second surface to be cleaned can be a vertical surface, such as the side wall of a wall, the baseboard on the wall, the baseboard at the bottom of a cabinet, the side wall of a cabinet, or the side wall of other furniture.

[0016] When the mop is in its outward-tilting state, both cleaning surfaces of the mop can contact the second surface to be cleaned, allowing the mop to effectively clean this surface after rotation. This significantly increases the cleaning range of the mop, reduces the user's housework burden, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0017] In one possible implementation, a telescopic structure is also included, through which the mop is connected to the brush body, the telescopic structure being used to drive the mop to extend beyond the brush body relative to it.

[0018] For example, the telescopic structure can be any structure capable of telescopic movement, such as a telescopic structure. One end of the telescopic structure can be connected to the mop, and the other end can be connected to the main body of the floor brush. The telescopic structure can extend or shorten. When the telescopic structure shortens, the mop at one end can be retracted to the bottom of the main body of the floor brush, so that the mop is in the retracted state (i.e., the initial state).

[0019] When the telescopic structure extends, the mop head at one end can extend beyond the main brush body, allowing it to clean areas far from the bottom of the brush body. Furthermore, the extended position of the mop head, relatively far from the brush body, prepares for its outward rotation, ensuring a clearance between the mop head and the brush body during this rotation. This effectively reduces or avoids interference between the outer edge of the mop head and the brush body, thus significantly improving the reliability and stability of the mop head's outward rotation.

[0020] The extension and retraction of the mop head can be controlled by the telescopic structure, allowing the mop head to extend or retract relative to the main body under the action of the telescopic structure. This effectively improves the reliability and stability of the mop head extension and retraction, thereby enhancing the reliability of the mop head extension and outward swing operation.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the telescopic structure is further configured to raise the mop after it has been extended from the brush body, thereby increasing the distance between the mop and the first surface to be cleaned.

[0022] For example, the telescopic structure is rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush. The center of rotation of the telescopic structure can be located between the two ends, making the telescopic structure a lever structure. After the telescopic structure extends the mop into the main body of the floor brush, the telescopic structure can rotate relative to the main body of the floor brush around the center of rotation, so that the telescopic structure can be in a posture where one end is higher than the other, thus making the end of the telescopic structure connected to the mop higher than the other end.

[0023] This ensures that the mop is at a predetermined distance from the ground after it extends but before it begins its outward swing. During the subsequent outward swing, this effectively reduces or eliminates interference between the mop and the ground, preventing jamming and other issues caused by interference, thus significantly improving the smoothness and reliability of the mop's outward swing.

[0024] In one possible implementation, a first driving device is further included, which is connected to the telescopic structure and is used to drive the end of the telescopic structure connected to the mop to lift, so that the telescopic structure lifts the mop.

[0025] For example, the first drive device can be located at the end of the telescopic structure away from the mop, and the first drive device can be a lifting mechanism. When the mop extends beyond the main body of the floor brush, the first drive device can descend so that the end of the telescopic structure connected to it can descend together under the drive of the first drive device.

[0026] Because the middle part of the telescopic structure is rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush, the telescopic structure functions as a lever. This allows the end of the telescopic structure furthest from the mop to descend, while the end connected to the mop can rise. This raises the mop, creating a clearance between the mop and the ground, allowing for subsequent flipping actions and effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop flipping.

[0027] Alternatively, the first driving device can also be a crank-rocker mechanism. For example, the first driving device may include a rocker arm, one end of which can be rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush, and the other end of which can be rotatably connected to the end of the telescopic structure away from the mop. When the rocker arm swings upward, it can drive the end of the telescopic structure away from the mop to rise, so that the end of the telescopic structure connected to the mop can fall, allowing the mop to fall down to contact the first surface to be cleaned, so as to clean the first surface to be cleaned.

[0028] Conversely, when the rocker arm swings downward, it can cause the end of the telescopic structure away from the mop to descend, allowing the end of the telescopic structure connected to the mop to rise. This raises the mop relative to the first surface to be cleaned, increasing the distance between the mop and the first surface to be cleaned, so that the mop can perform subsequent flipping actions. This prevents the mop from interfering with the ground during flipping, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop flipping.

[0029] Alternatively, the first driving device can be a drive motor. The first driving device can be installed at the rotation center of the telescopic structure. By controlling the rotation direction and rotation angle of the telescopic structure, the two ends of the telescopic structure can present different height states, so that the end of the telescopic structure connected to the mop can be raised or lowered as required.

[0030] The first drive unit provides power for lifting the mop, allowing it to lift the mop in conjunction with the telescopic structure. This enables the mop to extend to the main brush body and be raised according to preset requirements, effectively reducing or preventing lifting malfunctions and significantly improving the reliability and stability of mop lifting. Furthermore, by maintaining a certain clearance between the mop and the ground, subsequent flipping actions are facilitated, further enhancing the reliability and smoothness of mop flipping.

[0031] In one possible implementation, a second driving device is also included, through which the mop is connected to the telescopic structure. The second driving device is used to drive the mop to rotate relative to the telescopic structure so that the cleaning surface of the mop is angled to the first surface to be cleaned.

[0032] For example, the second drive device can be any device capable of driving the mop to rotate relative to the telescopic structure, such as a drive motor. When the mop extends beyond the main body of the floor brush and is raised relative to the ground, there is a certain clearance between the mop, the main body of the floor brush, and the ground. At this time, activating the second drive device can drive the mop to rotate relative to the telescopic structure, changing the cleaning surface of the mop from a horizontal downward position to a vertical outward position, so that the cleaning surface of the mop can face the second surface to be cleaned, thereby allowing the second surface to be cleaned to be cleaned when the mop rotates.

[0033] The second drive unit provides power for the mop to rotate, allowing it to rotate towards the second surface to be cleaned after it extends relative to the brush body and is lifted relative to the ground. This ensures that the surface of the mop can come into contact with the second surface to be cleaned. This effectively reduces or avoids mop malfunctions during rotation, thus significantly improving the reliability and stability of the mop rotation.

[0034] In one possible implementation, a mop drive device is also included, which is connected to the mop and is used to drive the mop to rotate in order to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0035] When the mop is extended beyond the brush body and in the extended state, the mop drive mechanism drives the mop to rotate, allowing the mop to clean the first surface to be cleaned, away from the bottom of the brush body. When the mop is in the outward-tilted state, the mop drive mechanism drives the mop to rotate, allowing the mop to clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0036] In this process, as the mop moves towards the extended state, the mop drive unit can start rotating the mop before it is extended. As the mop completes its extension, it can then clean the first surface to be cleaned, away from the bottom of the brush body. Alternatively, the mop drive unit can start rotating the mop after it has completed its extension, i.e., after the mop is in the extended state, so that the mop can clean the first surface to be cleaned, away from the bottom of the brush body.

[0037] Correspondingly, during the process of the mop switching to the outward-swinging flipping state, the mop drive device can start driving the mop to rotate before the mop extends (the mop needs to extend before the outward-swinging flip). As the mop completes the outward-swinging flipping action, the mop can then immediately clean the second surface to be cleaned. Alternatively, the mop drive device can start the mop to rotate after the mop has completed the outward-swinging flipping action, that is, after the mop is in the outward-swinging flipping state, so that the mop can clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0038] The mop drive unit powers the mop's rotation, allowing it to come into frictional contact with the surfaces to be cleaned (i.e., the first and second surfaces). This friction removes dirt and grime from the surfaces, effectively cleaning them. This significantly reduces or eliminates dirt buildup, improving the mop's cleaning performance and enhancing the overall cleaning performance of the cleaning equipment.

[0039] A second aspect of this application provides a floor brush for use in cleaning equipment, comprising:

[0040] The main body of the floor brush;

[0041] A roller brush, which is rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush, is used to clean a first surface to be cleaned.

[0042] A mop, which is movably connected to the floor brush body, and the mop is configured to be in a first state, a second state, and a third state relative to the floor brush body;

[0043] When the mop is in the first state, there is a gap between the cleaning surface of the mop and the first surface to be cleaned on the bottom of the floor brush;

[0044] When the mop is in the second state, the cleaning surface of the mop is used to clean the first surface to be cleaned that is away from the main body of the floor brush;

[0045] When the mop is in the third state, the cleaning surface of the mop is used to clean the second surface to be cleaned. The first surface to be cleaned is a horizontal plane, and the second surface to be cleaned is set at an angle to the first surface to be cleaned.

[0046] The floor brush provided in this application embodiment allows the mop to be in two states relative to the brush body: a second state and a third state. In the second state, the cleaning surface of the mop can clean the first surface to be cleaned (i.e., the floor) away from the bottom of the brush body. In the third state, the cleaning surface can clean the baseboards, furniture sides, wall sides, and other surfaces that are angled to the floor. This allows the floor brush to clean baseboards, furniture sides, wall sides, and other areas in addition to regular cleaning, saving time and effort and effectively improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for users to bend over manually, effectively reducing or avoiding dizziness, back pain, and other discomfort, thus alleviating the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0047] A third aspect of this application provides a cleaning device, including a body and any of the above-described floor brushes, wherein the body and the floor brushes are rotatably connected.

[0048] A fourth aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including a base station or base, and the cleaning equipment described above, the cleaning equipment being placed on the base station or base.

[0049] This application provides a method for controlling a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a floor brush, the floor brush including a floor brush body, a roller brush, and a mop, the roller brush being rotatably connected to the floor brush body and used for cleaning the floor; the mop being rotatably connected to the floor brush body, the mop being at least partially installed at the bottom of the floor brush body, and the mop being configured to extend and swing outward relative to the floor brush body, the control method including:

[0050] When preset conditions are met, the mop is extended, so that at least part of the mop extends out of the main body of the floor brush.

[0051] For example, when the system detects that the current state meets the conditions for the mop to swing outwards, it can first extend the mop to increase the distance between the mop and the brush body. This prepares for the subsequent swing-out rotation, reducing or avoiding interference between the mop and the brush body during the swing-out rotation process, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop's swing-out rotation.

[0052] The mop is lifted to increase the distance between the mop and the ground;

[0053] After extending the mop, you can continue to raise it to increase the distance between the mop and the ground. This prevents the mop from colliding with the ground and interfering with its subsequent flipping motion, thus improving the smoothness and reliability of the mop flipping.

[0054] The mop is flipped outward so that the cleaning surface of the mop is at an angle to the ground, so as to clean the wall surface on one side of the floor brush body.

[0055] After extending and lifting the mop in sequence, the system can flip the mop so that the cleaning surface of the mop faces away from the main brush body. This allows the cleaning surface of the mop to be angled relative to the floor, enabling the mop to clean a second surface.

[0056] Using the control method described above, the floor brush can automatically clean the second surface to be cleaned, eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the user. This saves time and effort and effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the second surface. Furthermore, since users no longer need to bend over to clean manually, it effectively reduces or avoids dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, significantly alleviating the burden of housework and enhancing the user experience.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the preset condition is that the distance between the wall and the sidewall of the floor brush body is detected to be within a preset range, and the extension direction of the wall is set at an angle to the ground.

[0058] The aforementioned wall surface is the second surface to be cleaned, which is set at an angle to the ground. When the system detects that there is a wall surface on the side of the floor brush body and the distance between the wall surface and the side wall of the floor brush body is within a preset range, it can sequentially start the extension, lifting and flipping actions of the mop, so that the mop is in an outward flipping state, thereby allowing the mop to clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0059] This allows the floor brush to actively clean the second surface to be cleaned without requiring manual observation to activate the mop's outward rotation, effectively improving the automation of the mop's outward rotation and enhancing the user experience.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the preset condition is receiving an outward swing flip command.

[0061] For example, if a user notices that areas such as baseboards or furniture sides need cleaning during the cleaning process, they can manually activate the mop outward rotation function. After receiving the mop outward rotation command, the system will execute the outward rotation action of the mop, allowing the mop to clean the aforementioned areas.

[0062] By observing the user manually initiating the mop's outward rotation, the system can accurately determine whether the mop needs to perform this action based on the specific scenario. For example, if the user observes that areas such as baseboards or furniture sides are relatively clean and do not require cleaning, then the mop's outward rotation action does not need to be initiated.

[0063] When users notice significant dirt on areas such as baseboards or furniture sides that require cleaning, they can activate the outward-tilting motion of the mop to clean these areas. This effectively improves the accuracy of wall cleaning, reduces unnecessary wall cleaning, and thus lowers the energy consumption of the floor brush.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the control method further includes, before extending the mop, the following:

[0065] Perform a rotation motion on the mop;

[0066] This means that the mop starts rotating before it extends, and as it completes its outward flipping motion, it can immediately begin cleaning the second surface to be cleaned. This eliminates the waiting time for the mop to start rotating, effectively increasing the cleaning speed and efficiency of the wall surface.

[0067] Alternatively, after performing an outward turning action on the mop, the control method further includes:

[0068] The mop is rotated.

[0069] In other words, after the mop has completed its flipping motion and is in an outward-swinging flipped state, the mop rotation is then activated so that it can clean the wall surface. This reduces the working time of the mop drive unit and the energy waste caused by the mop's extension, lifting, and flipping processes, which helps reduce energy waste in the floor brush and extend its standby time.

[0070] The floor brush provided in this application extends and rotates the mop relative to the brush body. When the mop is extended, its cleaning surface can clean the first surface to be cleaned (i.e., the floor) away from the bottom of the brush body. When the mop is rotated outwards, its cleaning surface can clean a second surface to be cleaned, such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides, which are at an angle to the floor. This allows the floor brush to clean baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides in addition to regular cleaning, saving time and effort and effectively improving cleaning efficiency for these areas. Moreover, it eliminates the need for users to bend over and manually clean, effectively reducing or avoiding dizziness, eye strain, back pain, and other discomforts, thus significantly reducing the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0071] The design incorporates a telescopic structure between the mop and the brush body. This structure allows for control over the extension and retraction of the mop, enabling it to extend or retract relative to the brush body. This effectively improves the reliability and stability of the mop's extension and retraction, thereby enhancing the reliability of its extension and outward swing operation.

[0072] Furthermore, after the mop extends, the telescopic structure can raise the mop to increase the distance between the mop and the first surface to be cleaned. This ensures that the mop, after extending but before swinging outwards, maintains a predetermined distance from the ground. During the subsequent swinging motion, this effectively reduces or avoids interference between the mop and the ground, preventing jamming and other issues caused by interference, thus significantly improving the smoothness and reliability of the mop's swinging motion.

[0090] As described in the background section above, the floor brush of a floor scrubber includes a brush body and a roller brush. The roller brush can rotate relative to the brush body to clean the surface to be cleaned at the bottom of the brush. Specifically, the brush typically travels along the floor, allowing it to clean dirt only on horizontal surfaces like the floor.

[0091] However, vertical surfaces such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides are difficult to clean effectively. Cleaning baseboards and similar areas usually requires users to bend over and manually clean them, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Moreover, prolonged bending over can cause cerebral congestion, leading to dizziness and blurred vision. In addition, prolonged bending over can also cause back pain, significantly reducing the user experience.

[0092] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a floor brush that extends and rotates its mop relative to the brush body. When the mop is extended, its cleaning surface can clean the first surface (the floor) furthest from the bottom of the brush body. When the mop is rotated outwards, its cleaning surface can clean a second surface (baseboards, furniture sides, wall sides, etc.) at an angle to the floor. This allows the brush to clean baseboards, furniture sides, wall sides, and other areas in addition to regular cleaning, saving time and effort and significantly improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual cleaning by bending over, reducing or preventing dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, thus alleviating household chores and enhancing the user experience.

[0093] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

Figure 7 This is a simplified structural diagram of a mop in an outward-swinging, flipped state, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0095] This application provides a cleaning device, which can be a household handheld floor scrubber. The cleaning device is mainly used to clean stains and dust on the surface to be cleaned. The surface to be cleaned can be a floor, wall, or the surface of an object to be cleaned with different degrees of roughness. This application does not specifically limit the type of surface to be cleaned.

[0096] The cleaning equipment may include a floor brush and a main body, which are rotatably connected. For example, the floor brush may be rotatably connected to the bottom of the main body. During the cleaning process, the user can hold the main body and swing it to rotate the floor brush relative to the main body, allowing the floor brush to travel to different areas (e.g., under tables, under cabinets, etc.). The floor brush cleans the surface to be cleaned by contacting and rubbing against it.

[0097] See Figure 1 As shown, the floor brush 100 may include a floor brush body 110 and a roller brush (not shown in the figure). The roller brush and the floor brush body 110 can be rotatably connected. The roller brush can be used to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0098] For example, when the cleaning equipment is performing cleaning work, the roller brush can be used to clean the first surface to be cleaned. For example, the roller brush can contact the first surface to be cleaned, and the roller brush is driven to rotate at high speed by the motor installed inside the roller brush, so that the roller brush can make frictional contact with the first surface to be cleaned in order to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0099] Along the travel direction of the floor brush 100, the roller brush can be installed at the front end of the housing, so that the roller brush can contact the first surface to be cleaned first. The front of the roller brush is unobstructed, which is conducive to the cleaning of the first surface to be cleaned by the roller brush.

[0100] The first surface to be cleaned can extend horizontally; for example, the first surface to be cleaned can be the ground.

[0101] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the floor brush 100 may also include a mop 120, which may be rotatably connected to the floor brush body 110. At least a portion of the mop 120 may be mounted on the bottom of the floor brush body 110. For example, most of the structure of the mop 120 may be located on the bottom of the floor brush body 110, with only a small portion of the edge located on the outside of the floor brush body 110.

[0102] For example, the mop 120 can be a circular structure, and the mop 120 can rotate around its own center so that its cleaning surface can clean the surface to be cleaned during the rotation. Here, the cleaning surface of the mop 120 refers to the side of the mop 120 with the largest area.

[0103] When the mop 120 is located at the bottom of the brush body 110, there can be a gap between the cleaning surface of the mop 120 and the first surface to be cleaned at the bottom of the brush body 110. That is, the mop 120 is in a state of being lifted off the ground. Since the area of ​​the bottom of the brush body 110 is cleaned by the roller brush, there is no need for the mop 120 to perform secondary cleaning. The mop 120 can be used to supplement the cleaning of areas other than the brush body 110.

[0104] The mop 120 can be configured to extend and swing outward relative to the brush body 110. See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the mop 120 is in the extended state, the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can contact the first surface to be cleaned, away from the bottom of the floor brush body 110. (See Figure 120) Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the mop 120 is in the outward-swinging and flipping state, the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can contact the second surface to be cleaned.

[0105] The first surface to be cleaned can extend horizontally, and the extension direction of the second surface to be cleaned can be set at an angle to the extension direction of the first surface to be cleaned.

[0106] Specifically, "mop 120 extended" means that the mop 120 can be moved outward along the side of the brush body 110 so that the mop 120 is in an extended state, allowing the cleaning surface of the mop 120 to face the ground outside the brush body 110. At this time, rotating the mop 120 allows the mop 120 to clean the first surface to be cleaned, away from the bottom of the brush body 110.

[0107] This effectively increases the cleaning range of the first surface to be cleaned by the mop 120, thus improving the cleaning performance of the mop 120.

[0108] The outward swing and flipping of the mop 120 refers to the fact that after the mop 120 extends outward relative to the brush body 110, it can also be flipped so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can face a second cleaning surface in another direction. In other words, before the outer panel flips, the mop 120 needs to extend so that it is outside the brush body 110, allowing it to swing outward and flip, so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can face the second cleaning surface. At this point, rotating the mop 120 allows it to clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0109] The second cleaning surface is angled relative to the first cleaning surface. For example, the second surface to be cleaned can be a baseboard, furniture sidewall, or wall sidewall. This second surface can be inclined, such as the sidewall of some irregularly shaped furniture, or it can be a vertical surface. By switching the mop 120 to its outward-tilting position, the mop 120 can clean these areas. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning by the user, saving time and effort and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the second surface.

[0110] Moreover, users do not need to bend over to clean manually, which can effectively reduce or avoid dizziness, blurred vision, back pain and other symptoms, thus reducing the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0111] The floor brush 100 provided in this embodiment extends and rotates the mop 120 relative to the brush body 110. When the mop 120 is extended, its cleaning surface can clean the first surface to be cleaned (i.e., the floor) away from the bottom of the brush body 110. When the mop 120 is rotated outward, its cleaning surface can clean the second surface to be cleaned, such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides, which are angled to the floor. This allows the floor brush 100 to clean baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides in addition to regular cleaning, saving time and effort and effectively improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for users to bend over manually, effectively reducing or avoiding dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, thus alleviating household chores and improving user experience.

[0112] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 7 As shown, the extension direction of the second surface to be cleaned can be perpendicular to the extension direction of the first surface to be cleaned. That is, the second surface to be cleaned can be a vertical surface, such as a wall sidewall, a baseboard on a wall, a baseboard at the bottom of a cabinet, a cabinet sidewall, or the sidewall of other furniture.

[0113] When the mop 120 is in the outward-tilting state, all cleaning surfaces of the mop 120 can contact the second surface to be cleaned, allowing the mop 120 to clean the second surface after rotation. This effectively increases the cleaning range of the mop 120, reduces the user's housework burden, and thus effectively improves the user experience.

[0114] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the floor brush 100 may also include a telescopic structure 130, through which the mop 120 can be connected to the floor brush body 110. The telescopic structure 130 can be used to drive the mop 120 to extend out of the floor brush body 110 relative to the floor brush body 110.

[0115] For example, the telescopic structure 130 can be any structure that can extend or retract. One end of the telescopic structure 130 can be connected to the mop 120, and the other end can be connected to the floor brush body 110. The telescopic structure 130 can extend or shorten.

[0116] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the telescopic structure 130 is shortened, the mop 120 located at one end can be retracted to the bottom of the floor brush body 110 so that the mop 120 is in the retracted state (i.e., the initial state).

[0117] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the telescopic structure 130 is extended, the mop 120 located at one end can be extended to the outside of the brush body 110 so that the mop 120 can be in an extended state, allowing the mop 120 to clean the ground away from the bottom of the brush body 110.

[0118] Furthermore, when the mop 120 is in the extended state, it is relatively far from the brush body 110, which prepares for the outward swing of the mop 120. This ensures that there is a certain clearance between the mop 120 and the brush body 110 during the outward swing. This effectively reduces or avoids interference between the outer edge of the mop 120 and the brush body 110, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the outward swing of the mop 120.

[0119] The extension and retraction of the telescopic structure 130 can control the extension or retraction of the mop 120, allowing the mop 120 to extend or retract relative to the main body 110 under the action of the telescopic structure 130. This effectively improves the reliability and stability of the extension and retraction of the mop 120, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the extension and outward swing operation of the mop 120.

[0120] See Figure 7 As shown, the telescopic structure 130 is also configured to raise the mop 120 after it extends out of the brush body 110, thereby increasing the distance between the mop 120 and the first surface to be cleaned.

[0121] For example, the telescopic structure 130 is rotatably connected to the floor brush body 110, and the rotation center of the telescopic structure 130 can be located between the two ends, making the telescopic structure 130 a lever structure. After the telescopic structure 130 extends the mop 120 to the floor brush body 110, the telescopic structure 130 can rotate relative to the floor brush body 110 around the rotation center, so that the telescopic structure 130 can be in an attitude where one end is higher than the other, thus making the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 higher than the other end.

[0122] This ensures that the mop 120 maintains a predetermined distance from the ground after it is extended and before it begins its outward swing rotation. During the subsequent outward swing rotation, this effectively reduces or prevents interference between the mop 120 and the ground, preventing jamming and other issues caused by interference, thus significantly improving the stability and reliability of the mop 120's outward swing rotation.

[0123] See also Figure 7 As shown, the floor brush 100 may also include a first drive device 140, which may be connected to the telescopic structure 130. The first drive device 140 may be used to drive the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 to lift, so that the telescopic structure 130 lifts the mop 120.

[0124] For example, in some examples, the first drive device 140 may be located at the end of the telescopic structure 130 away from the mop 120, and the first drive device 140 may be a lifting mechanism. When the mop 120 extends beyond the brush body 110, the first drive device 140 may descend so that the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to it may descend together under the drive of the first drive device 140.

[0125] Because the middle part of the telescopic structure 130 is rotatably connected to the main body of the floor brush 110, the telescopic structure 130 has a lever structure. Thus, when the end of the telescopic structure 130 away from the mop 120 descends, the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 can rise, allowing the telescopic structure 130 to raise the mop 120 and create a certain clearance between the mop 120 and the ground. This allows the mop 120 to perform subsequent flipping actions, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120's flipping.

[0126] Or, in other examples, see Figure 7 As shown, the first drive device 140 can also be as follows: Figure 7 The diagram shows a crank-rocker mechanism. For example, the first drive unit 140 may include a rocker arm, one end of which may be rotatably connected to the floor brush body 110, and the other end of which may be rotatably connected to the end of the telescopic structure 130 away from the mop 120.

[0127] When the joystick is like Figure 6 When the telescopic structure 130 swings upward as shown, it can lift the end of the telescopic structure 130 away from the mop 120, so that the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 can be lowered, so that the mop 120 can be lowered to contact the first surface to be cleaned, so as to clean the first surface to be cleaned.

[0128] Conversely, when the joystick is like Figure 7When the telescopic structure 130 swings downwards as shown, it can cause the end of the telescopic structure 130 away from the mop 120 to descend, so that the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 can rise, so that the mop 120 is raised relative to the first surface to be cleaned, thereby increasing the distance between the mop 120 and the first surface to be cleaned, so that the mop 120 can perform subsequent flipping actions, preventing the mop 120 from interfering with the ground when flipping, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120 flipping.

[0129] Alternatively, in some other examples, the first drive device 140 may also be a drive motor. The first drive device 140 may be installed at the rotation center of the telescopic structure 130. By controlling the rotation direction and rotation angle of the telescopic structure 130, the two ends of the telescopic structure 130 may present different height states, so that the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 can be raised or lowered as required.

[0130] Specifically, the structure and type of the first drive device 140 can be selected and set according to the specific application scenario and the structural design of the floor brush 100. In this application embodiment, the type and structure of the first drive device 140 are not limited, as long as it can realize that the end of the telescopic structure 130 connected to the mop 120 is raised or lowered as required.

[0131] The first drive device 140 can provide power for lifting the mop 120, enabling the first drive device 140 to lift the mop 120 in cooperation with the telescopic structure 130. This allows the mop 120 to be raised according to preset requirements after extending into the floor brush body 110, effectively reducing or avoiding situations such as the mop 120 failing to lift, and effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120 lifting.

[0132] Furthermore, by creating a certain clearance between the mop 120 and the ground, the mop 120 can perform subsequent flipping actions, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120 flipping.

[0133] See also Figure 7 As shown, the floor brush 100 may also include a second drive device 150. The mop 120 can be connected to the telescopic structure 130 through the second drive device 150. The second drive device 150 can be used to drive the mop 120 to rotate relative to the telescopic structure 130 so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 is set at an angle to the first surface to be cleaned.

[0134] For example, the second drive device 150 can be any device, such as a drive motor, capable of driving the mop 120 to rotate relative to the telescopic structure 130. When the mop 120 extends beyond the brush body 110 and is raised relative to the ground, there is a certain clearance distance between the mop 120, the brush body 110, and the ground.

[0135] At this time, the second drive device 150 is activated, which can drive the mop 120 to rotate relative to the telescopic structure 130, so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 changes from a horizontal downward posture to a vertical outward posture, so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can face the second surface to be cleaned, so that the second surface to be cleaned can be cleaned when the mop 120 rotates.

[0136] The second drive unit 150 provides power for the rotation of the mop 120, allowing the mop 120 to rotate towards the second surface to be cleaned after it extends relative to the floor brush body 110 and is lifted relative to the ground. This enables the surface of the mop 120 to come into contact with the second surface to be cleaned. This effectively reduces or avoids malfunctions of the mop 120 during rotation, thereby significantly improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120's rotation.

[0137] See also Figure 7 As shown, the floor brush 100 may also include a mop drive device 160, which can be connected to the mop 120. The mop drive device 160 can be used to drive the mop 120 to rotate (i.e., rotate) to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0138] For example, when the mop 120 extends beyond the brush body 110 and is in the extended state, the mop drive device 160 drives the mop 120 to rotate, so that the mop 120 can clean the first surface to be cleaned away from the bottom of the brush body 110.

[0139] When the mop 120 is in the outward swing-over state, the mop drive device 160 drives the mop 120 to rotate, so that the mop 120 can clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0140] During the process of switching the mop 120 to the extended state, the mop drive device 160 can start driving the mop 120 to rotate before the mop 120 is extended. As the mop 120 completes the extension action, the mop 120 can then clean the first surface to be cleaned that is far away from the bottom of the floor brush body 110.

[0141] Alternatively, after the mop 120 completes its extension action, that is, after the mop 120 is in the extended state, the mop drive device 160 can then start the mop 120 to rotate, so that the mop 120 can clean the first surface to be cleaned away from the bottom of the floor brush body 110.

[0142] Correspondingly, during the process of switching the mop 120 to the outward swing flip state, the mop drive device 160 can start driving the mop 120 to rotate before the mop 120 extends (the mop 120 needs to extend before the outward swing flip). As the mop 120 completes the outward swing flip action, the mop 120 can then clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0143] Alternatively, after the mop 120 completes the outward swing and flipping action, that is, after the mop 120 is in the outward swing and flipping state, the mop drive device 160 can then start the mop 120 to rotate so that the mop 120 can clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0144] The mop drive unit 160 provides power to rotate the mop 120, allowing the mop 120 to make frictional contact with the surfaces to be cleaned (i.e., the first and second surfaces) during rotation. This friction removes dirt from the surfaces, effectively cleaning them. This significantly reduces or prevents dirt buildup, improving the cleaning performance of the mop 120 and enhancing the overall cleaning performance of the cleaning equipment.

[0145] A second aspect of this application also provides a floor brush 100, wherein the mop 120 of the floor brush 100 can be configured to be in a first state, a second state, and a third state relative to the floor brush body 110. The mop 120 can switch between the first state, the second state, and the third state to meet different cleaning needs.

[0146] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the mop 120 is in the first state, there is a gap between the cleaning surface of the mop 120 and the first surface to be cleaned on the bottom of the floor brush 100. The first surface to be cleaned can extend horizontally; for example, it can be the ground surface. That is, the mop 120 is in a retracted state and is lifted off the ground to avoid contact between the mop 120 and the ground surface at the bottom of the floor brush body 110.

[0147] See Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the mop 120 is in the second state, the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can be used to clean the first surface to be cleaned, which is away from the brush body 110. For example, when the mop 120 is in the second state, the mop 120 can extend beyond the brush body 110, away from the bottom of the brush body 110, so that the mop 120 can clean the first surface to be cleaned, which is away from the brush body 110. This can effectively increase the cleaning range of the mop 120 on the first surface to be cleaned, and can effectively improve the cleaning performance of the mop 120.

[0148] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the mop 120 is in the third state, the cleaning surface of the mop 120 can be used to clean a second surface to be cleaned, and the second surface to be cleaned can be set at an angle to the first surface to be cleaned. For example, the second surface to be cleaned can be an inclined surface or a vertical surface, such as a baseboard, furniture sidewall, or wall sidewall.

[0149] By switching the mop 120 to the third state, the mop 120 can clean the aforementioned areas. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning by the user, saving time and effort, and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the second surface to be cleaned.

[0150] Moreover, users do not need to bend over to clean manually, which can effectively reduce or avoid dizziness, blurred vision, back pain and other symptoms, thus reducing the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0151] The floor brush 100 provided in this embodiment of the application allows the mop 120 to be in a second and a third state relative to the floor brush body 110. When the mop 120 is in the second state, its cleaning surface can clean the first surface to be cleaned (i.e., the ground) away from the bottom of the floor brush body 110. When the mop 120 is in the third state, its cleaning surface can clean the second surface to be cleaned, such as baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides, which are set at an angle to the ground. This allows the floor brush 100 to clean baseboards, furniture sides, and wall sides in addition to performing regular cleaning, saving time and effort and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of these areas. Moreover, it eliminates the need for users to bend over and manually clean, effectively reducing or avoiding dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, thus significantly reducing the burden of housework and improving the user experience.

[0152] This application also provides a cleaning system, which may include a base station or base and the aforementioned cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment can be placed on the base station or base. The base station or base can be used to support the cleaning equipment, providing storage and charging for it. For example, the cleaning equipment can be removed from the base station or base during use to perform cleaning work. After cleaning is completed, the cleaning equipment can be returned to the base station or base for storage.

[0153] Furthermore, the base station or base can also charge the cleaning equipment. For example, the base station or base can be connected to a power source, and the cleaning equipment can be charged by connecting to the power source through the base station or base.

[0154] By including the aforementioned cleaning equipment in the cleaning system, users' household chores can be effectively reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

[0155] The cleaning equipment control method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0156] Figure 8 A flowchart of a control method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0157] The cleaning equipment control method provided in this application embodiment can control the aforementioned cleaning equipment. (See also...) Figure 8 As shown, the control method may include:

[0158] S101: When the preset conditions are met, the mop 120 is extended so that at least part of the mop 120 extends out of the brush body 110.

[0159] For example, when the system detects that the current state meets the conditions for the mop 120 to swing outwards, it can first extend the mop 120 to increase the distance between the mop 120 and the floor brush body 110. This prepares for the subsequent swing-out rotation, reducing or avoiding interference between the mop 120 and the floor brush body 110 during the swing-out rotation process, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the mop 120's swing-out rotation.

[0160] S102: Perform a lifting action on the mop 120 to increase the distance between the mop 120 and the ground.

[0161] After extending the mop 120, a lifting motion can be performed on the mop 120 to increase the distance between the mop 120 and the ground. This prevents the mop 120 from colliding with the ground and interfering with its subsequent flipping motion, thus improving the smoothness and reliability of the mop 120's flipping.

[0162] S103: Perform an outward flipping action on the mop 120 so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 is set at an angle to the ground, so as to clean the wall surface on one side of the floor brush body 110.

[0163] For example, the second surface to be cleaned can be a baseboard, furniture sidewall, or wall sidewall. After the mop 120 has been extended and lifted sequentially, the system can flip the mop 120 so that the cleaning surface of the mop 120 faces away from the brush body 110. This allows the cleaning surface of the mop 120 to be set at an angle to the floor, enabling the mop 120 to clean the second surface.

[0164] Using the control method described above, the floor brush 100 can automatically clean the second surface to be cleaned, eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the user. This saves time and effort and effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the second surface. Furthermore, since users do not need to bend over to clean manually, it effectively reduces or avoids dizziness, back pain, and other discomforts, significantly alleviating the burden of housework and enhancing the user experience.

[0165] In one possible implementation, the preset condition can be that the distance between the wall and the side wall of the floor brush body 110 is within a preset range, and the extension direction of the wall is set at an angle to the ground.

[0166] The aforementioned wall surface is the second surface to be cleaned, which is set at an angle to the ground. When the system detects that the side of the floor brush body 110 has a wall surface and the distance between the wall surface and the side wall of the floor brush body 110 is within a preset range, the system can sequentially start the extension, lifting and flipping actions of the mop 120 so that the mop 120 is in an outward flipping state, thereby allowing the mop 120 to clean the second surface to be cleaned.

[0167] This allows the floor brush 100 to actively clean the second surface to be cleaned without requiring manual observation to activate the mop 120 outward rotation, effectively improving the automation of the mop 120 outward rotation and enhancing the user experience.

[0168] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, the preset condition could be receiving an outward swing rotation command.

[0169] For example, if a user notices that areas such as baseboards or furniture sides need cleaning during the cleaning process, they can manually activate the outward tilting function of the mop 120. After receiving the outward tilting command, the system will execute the outward tilting action of the mop 120, allowing the mop 120 to clean the aforementioned areas.

[0170] By observing the user manually activating the mop 120's outward rotation, a precise judgment can be made as to whether the mop 120 needs to perform the outward rotation action based on the specific scenario. For example, if the user observes that areas such as baseboards or furniture sides are relatively clean and do not require cleaning, then there is no need to activate the mop 120's outward rotation action.

[0171] When users notice significant dirt on areas such as baseboards or furniture sides, requiring cleaning, they can activate the outward tilting motion of the mop 120 to clean these areas. This effectively improves the accuracy of the mop 120 in cleaning walls, reduces unnecessary wall cleaning, and thus lowers the energy consumption of the floor brush 100.

[0172] In some examples, the control method further includes the following before extending the mop 120:

[0173] Perform a rotation motion on mop 120.

[0174] In other words, the mop 120 starts rotating before it extends, and as the mop 120 completes its outward swing and flipping motion, it can immediately begin cleaning the second surface to be cleaned. This eliminates the waiting time for the mop 120 to start rotating, effectively increasing the cleaning speed and efficiency of the wall surface.

[0175] Alternatively, in another example, after performing an outward turning action on mop 120, the control method also includes:

[0176] Perform a rotation motion on mop 120.

[0177] That is, after the mop 120 completes its flipping motion, placing it in an outward-swinging flipped state, the mop 120 is then started to rotate, allowing it to clean the wall surface. This reduces the operating time of the mop drive unit 160, minimizes energy waste caused by the mop 120's rotation during extension, lifting, and flipping, and helps reduce energy waste in the floor brush 100, extending its standby time.
