DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] The present disclosure provides a water inlet structure, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a water inlet structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 ; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a water inlet structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The water inlet structure 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view along line AA'. The water inlet structure 10 comprises:

[0047] Fixed seat 11;

[0048] The water inlet pipe 12 is disposed on the fixing base 11, and the two ends of the water inlet pipe 12 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the fixing base 11; wherein the side wall of the first end of the water inlet pipe 12 is formed with a water inlet 121; and the second end of the water inlet pipe 12 is formed with a water outlet 122;

[0049] The dustproof member 13 is movably disposed on the water inlet pipe 12 . The dustproof member 13 can move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe 12 under the action of an external force to cover or reveal the water inlet 121 of the water inlet pipe 12 .

[0050] In the disclosed embodiment, the water inlet structure includes: a fixing seat, a water inlet pipe and a dustproof part.

[0051] The fixing seat may have a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface are two surfaces disposed opposite to each other. The fixing seat may also be provided with a through hole penetrating the first surface and the second surface, and the water inlet pipe may be disposed on the fixing seat through the through hole.

[0052] The shape and position of the through hole can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0053] The water inlet pipe may have a first end and a second end, and the first end and the second end may be two ends disposed opposite to each other.

[0054] When the water inlet pipe is arranged on the fixing seat through the through hole, the first end of the water inlet pipe can pass through the through hole and be arranged on the side where the first surface of the fixing seat is located; the second end of the water inlet pipe is arranged on the side where the second surface of the fixing seat is located, thereby realizing that the two ends of the water inlet pipe are respectively located on the opposite sides of the fixing seat.

[0055] It should be noted that the outer diameter of the water inlet pipe may be equal to or slightly smaller than the aperture of the through hole, so as to ensure the connection stability between the fixing seat and the water inlet pipe.

[0056] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the second end of the water inlet pipe can be smaller than the outer diameter of the first end of the water inlet pipe, and the aperture of the through hole can be greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the second end of the water inlet pipe and smaller than the outer diameter of the first end, so that the second end of the water inlet pipe can be extended into the through hole and the fixing seat can be clamped with the second end of the water inlet pipe, thereby controlling the connection position of the water inlet pipe and the fixing seat.

[0057] In one embodiment, the fixing seat and the water inlet pipe can also be manufactured by an integral molding process. For example, when the fixing seat and the water inlet pipe are made of plastic, the fixing seat and the water inlet pipe can be integrally molded by casting, injection molding or other processes.

[0058] A water inlet is formed on the side wall of the first end of the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet is formed on the second end of the water inlet pipe, so that the first end of the water inlet pipe can be connected to an external structure responsible for water delivery (such as a water tank), and the second end of the water inlet pipe can be connected to an external structure responsible for water consumption (such as a sweeper body).

[0059] It is understandable that when the water inlet pipe is used, one end is usually at the top and the other end is at the bottom, and water is transmitted from top to bottom. The first end of the water inlet pipe can be the upper end of the water inlet pipe, and a water inlet is formed on the side wall of the first end of the water inlet pipe, so that the water inlet of the water inlet pipe can be guaranteed to face the side instead of facing upward, effectively reducing the possibility of foreign matter falling into the water inlet pipe from above. The end of the second end of the water inlet pipe can form a water outlet, so as to ensure that the water outlet of the water inlet pipe faces downward, effectively improving the water outlet efficiency of the water inlet pipe.

[0060] The sizes of the water inlet and the water outlet can be set according to usage requirements and are not specifically limited thereto.

[0061] The dustproof piece can be movably arranged on the water inlet pipe. When not acted upon by external force, the dustproof piece can cover the water inlet and shield the water inlet. Under the action of external force, the dustproof piece can move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe, that is, the direction from the first end of the water inlet pipe to the second end of the water inlet pipe, so as to be removed from the water inlet and expose the water inlet of the water inlet pipe. After the external force disappears, the dustproof piece can move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe, that is, the direction from the second end of the water inlet pipe to the first end of the water inlet pipe, to re-cover the water inlet and re-shield the water inlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0062] In one embodiment, a slide groove is formed on the side wall corresponding to the water inlet of the water inlet pipe, and the dustproof component can be partially or completely accommodated in the slide groove to be movably arranged on the water inlet pipe.

[0063] It can be understood that, when no external force is applied, the dust-proof part can be arranged relative to the position of the water inlet, and when an external force is applied, the dust-proof part can slide in the slide groove to expose the water inlet.

[0064] In one embodiment, a first strip-shaped magnetic component may be provided on the side wall corresponding to the water inlet of the water inlet pipe, and a second magnetic component having a magnetic property different from that of the first magnetic component may be provided on the side of the dustproof component facing the water inlet pipe. The dustproof component can be connected to the water inlet pipe through magnetic attraction, and the dustproof component can move along the first strip-shaped magnetic component to be movably set on the water inlet pipe.

[0065] It is understandable that, when no external force is applied, the dustproof component can be arranged relative to the position of the water inlet, and when an external force is applied, the dustproof component can move along the extension direction of the first magnetic component to expose the water inlet.

[0066] In one embodiment, the external force applied to the dustproof part may be a magnetic force.

[0067] Exemplarily, a third magnetic component may be provided at one end of the dustproof component facing the external structural component (such as a water tank) responsible for water delivery, and a fourth magnetic component with the same magnetic properties as the third magnetic component may be provided at one end of the water tank facing the dustproof component. By repelling magnetic forces between the same magnetic properties, when the water tank approaches the dustproof component, the dustproof component is moved by external force, thereby revealing the water inlet.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiment, by setting the water inlet pipe on the fixed seat, and the two ends of the water inlet pipe are respectively located on the opposite sides of the fixed seat, it is possible to respectively set the water inlet and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe on the opposite sides of the fixed seat, thereby isolating the water inlet and the water outlet, ensuring that the upper and lower ends of the water inlet structure are respectively connected to different external structural parts, and realizing the auxiliary water inlet function. By movably setting the dustproof part on the water inlet pipe, and the dustproof part can be moved along the length direction of the water inlet pipe under the action of external force, on the one hand, when the water inlet structure is not in use, the water inlet of the water inlet pipe can be shielded by the dustproof part to prevent foreign matter from entering; on the other hand, when the water inlet structure is in use, the water inlet can be exposed to ensure the passage of water.

[0069] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water inlet structure 10 further includes:

[0070] An elastic member 14, wherein a first end of the elastic member 14 is fixed to a first surface of the fixing seat 11, and a second end of the elastic member 14 is fixedly connected to the dustproof member 13;

[0071] Under the action of the external force, the dustproof member 13 moves along the water inlet pipe 12 toward the fixing seat 11 to expose the water inlet 121 of the water inlet pipe 12, and the elastic member 14 undergoes elastic deformation;

[0072] After the external force disappears, the elastic member 14 recovers its elastic deformation, driving the dustproof member 13 to move along the water inlet pipe 12 in a direction away from the fixing seat 11 , so as to cover the water inlet 121 of the water inlet pipe 12 .

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the water inlet structure further includes: an elastic member.

[0074] The elastic member has a first end and a second end which are arranged opposite to each other. The first end of the elastic member can be fixed to the first surface of the fixing seat, and the second end of the elastic member can be fixedly connected to the dustproof member.

[0075] The first end of the elastic member and the first surface of the fixing seat can be fixed by bonding, abutting and other methods, which are not specifically limited. The second end of the elastic member and the dustproof member can be fixedly connected by snap connection, sleeve connection and other methods, which are not specifically limited.

[0076] It is understandable that an elastic member can be arranged between the dust-proof member and the fixing seat, and the elastic deformation of the elastic member can be used to realize that the dust-proof member is movably arranged on the water inlet pipe. Under the action of an external force, the dust-proof member moves along the water inlet pipe toward the fixing seat to reveal the water inlet of the water inlet pipe, and the movement of the dust-proof member drives the elastic member to undergo elastic deformation; after the external force disappears, the elastic member restores the elastic deformation, driving the dust-proof member fixedly connected to the first end of the elastic member to move along the water inlet pipe toward the direction away from the fixing seat to cover the water inlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0077] The number of the elastic members may be one or more, which is not specifically limited.

[0078] In one embodiment, the elastic member may be a coil spring.

[0079] In one embodiment, the coil spring can be sleeved on the water inlet pipe, and two ends thereof are respectively connected to the dustproof part and the fixing seat.

[0080] In one embodiment, a plurality of the coil springs may be disposed around the circumference of the water inlet pipe, and both ends of each coil spring are respectively connected to the dustproof member and the fixing seat.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an elastic part and connecting the two ends of the elastic part to the dustproof part and the fixing seat respectively, the dustproof part can be moved along the length direction of the water inlet pipe under the action of external force and after the external force disappears, so as to cover or reveal the water inlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0082] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a stopper 123 is provided at the first end of the water inlet pipe 12;

[0083] The stopper 123 abuts against the dustproof member 13 that moves to the first end of the water inlet pipe 12 , so as to limit the dustproof member 13 from continuing to move in a direction away from the fixing seat 11 .

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a stopper may be provided at the first end of the water inlet pipe.

[0085] The stopper may be a protrusion formed along a direction perpendicular to the length of the water inlet pipe. The shape and size of the protrusion may be set according to actual needs and are not specifically limited thereto.

[0086] The protrusions may be arranged around the first end of the water inlet pipe, or may be arranged at intervals, which is not specifically limited.

[0087] The protrusion may abut against the dust-proof member moved to the first end of the water inlet pipe, thereby limiting the dust-proof member from continuing to move in a direction away from the fixing seat.

[0088] In the disclosed embodiment, a stopper is provided at the first end of the water inlet pipe to limit the movement of the dustproof part between the first end of the water inlet pipe and the fixed seat, thereby preventing the dustproof part from falling out of the water inlet pipe and ensuring the stability of the water inlet structure.

[0089] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the dustproof member 13 is an annular dustproof member; the annular dustproof member is arranged around the circumference of the water inlet pipe 12; the width of the annular dustproof member along the length direction of the water inlet pipe 12 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the water inlet 121.

[0090] In the disclosed embodiment, the dustproof member may be an annular dustproof member, which may be sleeved on the circumference of the water inlet pipe and may move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe.

[0091] The width of the annular dustproof piece along the length direction of the water inlet pipe is greater than or equal to the aperture of the water inlet. When not affected by external force, the annular dustproof piece covers the water inlet; when affected by external force, the annular dustproof piece moves to expose the water inlet.

[0092] In the disclosed embodiment, the dustproof piece is an annular dustproof piece, and the width of the annular dustproof piece along the length direction of the water inlet pipe is greater than or equal to the aperture of the water inlet, so that the dustproof piece can cover the water inlet and effectively reduce the possibility of foreign matter falling into the water inlet.

[0093] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the dustproof member 13 comprises:

[0094] Shielding portion 131;

[0095] The support portion 132 is located at a side of the shielding portion 131 away from the fixing base 11, and the support portion 132 is fixedly connected to the shielding portion 131;

[0096] A projection area of ​​the supporting portion 132 toward the fixing base 11 is larger than a projection area of ​​the shielding portion 131 toward the fixing base 11 .

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, the dustproof part includes: a shielding part and a supporting part.

[0098] Wherein, the shielding portion is connected to the supporting portion; the shielding portion is close to the fixing seat, and the supporting portion is located on a side of the shielding portion away from the fixing seat.

[0099] The projection area of ​​the support portion toward the fixing seat is larger than the projection area of ​​the shielding portion toward the fixing seat, so as to provide a larger contact area for the external structural member responsible for water transport.

[0100] Specifically, when an external structural component responsible for water delivery (such as a water tank) cooperates with the water inlet structure, the water tank contacts the support portion over a large area, thereby facilitating the water tank to provide external force to the dustproof component to move the dustproof component to reveal the water inlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0101] In one embodiment, the shielding portion may be fixedly connected to the elastic member, so that the dustproof member can be movably disposed on the water inlet pipe.

[0102] In the disclosed embodiment, the projection area of ​​the support portion toward the fixing seat is set to be larger than the projection area of ​​the shielding portion toward the fixing seat, which can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the dustproof part and facilitate the external structural part responsible for water delivery to apply external force to the dustproof part.

[0103] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first surface of the support portion 132 is provided with a groove 1321 corresponding to the stopper portion 123;

[0104] The stopper 123 is embedded in the groove 1321 of the support portion 132 and abuts against the bottom of the groove 1321 to limit the support portion 132 from moving further in a direction away from the fixing seat 11 .

[0105] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first surface of the support portion, that is, a surface of the support portion away from the fixing seat, is provided with a groove corresponding to the stopper.

[0106] The groove is located in the first surface at a position close to the water inlet pipe.

[0107] The groove corresponding to the stopper means that the stopper at the first end of the water inlet pipe can be embedded in the groove and abut against the bottom of the groove, so that the stopper can prevent the dustproof part from continuing to move in the direction away from the fixing seat.

[0108] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a groove portion 111 is formed on the first surface of the fixing seat 11 ; the groove portion 111 is used to accommodate the dustproof member 13 .

[0109] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first surface of the fixing seat, that is, a surface facing the dustproof piece, may be formed with a groove portion, and the groove portion may accommodate the dustproof piece when the dustproof piece is acted upon by an external force.

[0110] In one embodiment, the shape of the groove portion may correspond to the shape of the dustproof member.

[0111] In some embodiments, a mounting groove portion may be formed on the peripheral side of the groove portion, wherein the mounting groove portion may be used for connecting the water inlet structure with an external structural member that uses water.

[0112] For example, Figure 3 As shown, a mounting groove portion 112 is formed on the peripheral side of the groove portion 111, and a connecting member such as a screw can be passed through the mounting groove portion 112 to fix the water inlet structure 10 to an external structural member (such as a sweeper body) that uses water.

[0113] In some embodiments, a mounting portion may be formed at the second end of the water inlet pipe, wherein the mounting portion may be used to connect the water inlet structure with an external structural member for using water.

[0114] For example, Figure 3 As shown, a mounting portion 124 is formed at the second end of the water inlet pipe 12, and the water inlet structure 10 can be fixedly connected to the external structural member by snapping the mounting portion 124 with the external structural member for using water.

[0115] It should be noted that the external structural parts for using water mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be the equipment body of a cleaning device, such as the main body of a sweeping robot; or the main body of other equipment that requires water, such as the main body of a water dispenser; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0116] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a cleaning device. Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a device body of a cleaning device according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of a water tank of a cleaning device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 The structure of a cleaning device according to an exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 1 ; Figure 7 The structure of a cleaning device according to an exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 2 .like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cleaning device 20 comprises:

[0117] A movable cleaning device, comprising:

[0118] Equipment body 21;

[0119] Water tank 22;

[0120] The water inlet structure 10 described in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure is fixedly disposed in the device body 21;

[0121] The dustproof member 13 of the water inlet structure 10 can move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe 12 under the gravity of the water tank 22 .

[0122] In the disclosed embodiment, the cleaning device may include a movable cleaning device, which may be a sweeping robot, a sweeping car, or the like.

[0123] The movable cleaning device may include: a device body, a water tank and a water inlet structure.

[0124] Among them, the structure of the water inlet structure can refer to Figures 1 to 4 For the sake of brevity, the description in the corresponding embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0125] The device body is provided with a water tank installation area, and the water inlet structure can be fixedly arranged in the water tank installation area of ​​the device body. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2 , the water inlet structure 10 is fixedly arranged in the water tank installation area 211 of the equipment body 21 .

[0126] Here, the manner in which the water inlet structure and the device body are fixedly connected can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0127] Exemplarily, a mounting hole may be provided on the device body, and the second end of the water inlet pipe of the water inlet structure may cooperate with the mounting hole to achieve a fixed connection between the water inlet structure and the device body.

[0128] The shape of the water tank may correspond to the shape of the water tank installation area in the device body. At the same time, a water tank outlet is provided on the first surface of the water tank, that is, the surface of the water tank close to the water inlet structure when the movable cleaning device is working. The water tank outlet can cooperate with the water inlet structure to achieve water inlet.

[0129] For example, Figure 5 As shown, a water tank outlet 221 is provided on the first surface of the water tank 22 .

[0130] It is understandable that when the water tank is not installed in the device body, that is, Figure 6 As shown, the dustproof part of the water inlet structure is not subjected to external force and can be presented as follows Figure 2The structure shown in the figure can cover the water inlet of the water inlet pipe. Figure 7 As shown, the dustproof part of the water inlet structure can move along the length direction of the water inlet pipe under the action of the gravity of the water tank, showing the following Figure 1 The structure shown realizes exposing the water inlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0131] Furthermore, when the water tank applies gravity to the dustproof part, the first end of the water inlet pipe can enter the water tank through the water tank outlet of the water tank, so that the water in the water tank can contact the first end of the water inlet pipe and flow to the water inlet after the water inlet at the first end of the water inlet pipe is exposed.
