It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once a certain item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0031] As mentioned in the background technology, the existing side sweeping assembly can only clean the garbage on the ground, which is difficult to meet the needs of users. To this end, the present application provides a new side sweeping assembly, which can perform mopping action and improve the cleaning power of the side sweeping assembly on the ground. The following will introduce the solution of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a side sweeping assembly is provided. The side sweeping assembly is used in a cleaning device, such as a floor sweeper or a cleaning base station. The side sweeping assembly includes a main body 10 and a mopping mechanism 20.

[0033] Specifically, the mop mechanism 20 in this embodiment includes a mop body 22 and a support portion 21 . The support portion 21 is connected to the main body 10 , and the mop body 22 is mounted on the support portion 21 .

[0034] When the side sweeper assembly is actually used, the main body 10 is connected to a driving member, which may be, for example, a motor or a combination of a motor and a reduction gearbox. When the driving member is working, it can drive the main body 10 to rotate. At this time, the mop mechanism 20 connected to the main body 10 can rotate synchronously with the main body 10, and then can drive the mop body 22 to perform a mopping action, which can improve the cleaning effect of the side sweeper assembly on the ground.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body 10 is generally arranged in a columnar shape, and the columnar structure can be, for example, a cylinder, a prism, an elliptical column or other special-shaped columnar structure, which is not specifically limited in the present application. In order to facilitate connection with the driving member, a connecting portion is provided on the main body 10 in this embodiment, and the connecting portion can be, for example, a connecting hole 11 or other structure. Through the function of the connecting hole 11, the main body 10 can be connected to the driving shaft of the driving member, etc. When the driving member rotates, it is convenient to drive the side sweeping assembly to rotate to perform the cleaning operation.

[0036] In the present application, the mopping mechanism 20 includes a plurality of mopping mechanisms 20, such as one, two or more than two, and the plurality of mopping mechanisms 20 are arranged along the periphery of the main body 10. Figures 1 to 4 2 and 3 show the case where there is only one mop mechanism 20. When two or more mop mechanisms 20 are provided, the plurality of mop mechanisms 20 are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the main body 10, which can improve the mopping capability of the side sweeping assembly in this embodiment.

[0037] Furthermore, the support part 21 in this embodiment includes a support arm 211, the first end of which is connected to the main body 10, and the second end of which extends in a direction away from the main body 10. When actually installed, the mop body 22 is connected to the second end of the support arm 211. In this way, the distance between the mop body 22 and the main body 10 can be increased to avoid interference between the mop body 22 and the main body 10 and mutual wear. Optionally, the support arm 211 in this embodiment is inclined and extended in the direction of the first side of the main body 10. When the side sweeping assembly is installed on the cleaning device, the mop body 22 protrudes from the bottom surface of the cleaning device (in this state, the first side of the main body 10 is the side of the main body 10 close to the ground). At this time, when the cleaning device is placed on the bottom surface to perform cleaning operations, the side sweeping assembly can be subjected to pressure applied by the main structure of the cleaning device, the support arm 211 is pressed downward, and the mop body 22 can be in close contact with the ground, so that the mop body 22 can sweep and clean the ground.

[0038] Furthermore, the support part 21 in this embodiment further includes at least one support rod 212, which is connected between the mop body 22 and the support cantilever 211 to at least make the mopping surface 221 of the mop body 22 parallel to the plane where the main body 10 is located. It can be understood that the plane where the main body 10 is located here refers to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the connecting hole 11. In this embodiment, by making the mopping surface 221 of the mop body 22 parallel to the plane where the main body 10 is located, when the side sweeping assembly is installed at the bottom of the cleaning device and the cleaning device is placed on the ground, the mop body 22 can achieve surface contact with the ground, which can increase the cleaning range of the mop body 22 on the ground.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, by providing at least one support rod 212 to support and install the mop body 22, the structural stability and reliability of the mop mechanism 20 can be improved. Figures 1 to 4 The figure shows the case where there are two support rods 212. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the support rods 212 may not be provided, and the mop body 22 may be directly fixed on the support cantilever 211. As long as it is other deformation methods based on the concept of the present application, they are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] During actual processing and production, the support rod 212, the support cantilever 211 and the mop body 22 in this embodiment can be integrally formed, or can be separately provided and then fixed together by means of clamping, welding or bonding.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the mop body 22 is arranged in a long strip shape, and the mop body 22 extends along the radial direction of the connecting hole 11. In the projection of the axial direction of the connecting hole 11, the projection of the end of the mop body 22 close to the main body 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the connecting hole 11. That is to say, in the projection of the side sweeping assembly along the axial direction of the connecting hole 11, the projection of the connecting hole 11 is entirely or partially located in the projection of the end of the strip body close to the main body 10. With such an arrangement, when the side sweeping assembly rotates under the drive of the driving member, the mop body 22 can clean the area directly below the main body 10, and the ground directly below the main body 10 can be cleaned without controlling the cleaning device to drive the side sweeping assembly to move.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the mop body 22 may also be circular, oval, square or other regular or irregular shapes. As long as it is other deformation methods based on the concept of the present application, it is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] Combine again Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the side sweeping assembly in this embodiment further includes a plurality of cleaning mechanisms 30, which are arranged along the outer periphery of the main body 10. In this embodiment, by arranging the cleaning mechanisms 30 on the outer periphery of the main body 10, when the side sweeping assembly rotates driven by the driving member, the side sweeping assembly can not only perform a mopping action, but also perform a cleaning action, which can improve the cleaning ability of the side sweeping assembly in this embodiment.

[0044] Optionally, the cleaning mechanism 30 in this embodiment may be one, two, or more than two. Figures 1 to 4 FIG. 2 shows a case where two cleaning mechanisms 30 are provided.

[0045] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 30 in this embodiment includes a support arm 31 and bristles 32. The first end of the support arm 31 is connected to the outer edge of the main body 10, and the second end of the support arm 31 is provided with the above-mentioned bristles 32. When the side sweeping assembly rotates, the bristles 32 can be driven to clean the ground. In addition, the setting of the support arm 31 in this embodiment can extend the distance between the bristles 32 and the main body 10, avoiding the hair on the bristles 32 from directly contacting the main body 10 and being entangled on the main body 10 and the rotating shaft of the motor used to drive the main body 10, thereby avoiding the problem of the motor being blocked and causing the motor to burn out.

[0046] Furthermore, the extending directions of the interconnected support arms 31 and the bristles 32 in this embodiment are the same or different. Figures 1 to 3 The figure shows the case where the connecting support arms 31 and bristles 32 extend in different directions. Figure 4, the case where the mutually connected support arms 31 and the bristles 32 extend in the same direction is shown. It is understandable that when the support arms 31 and the bristles 32 extend in the same direction, the hair on the bristles 32 is easy to move along the support arms 31 to the main body 10 and entangle the main body 10 and the rotating shaft of the motor, causing the motor to burn out. Therefore, in the present application, it is preferred that the mutually connected support arms 31 and the bristles 32 extend in different directions. In this way, after the hair is entangled on the bristles 32, the support arms 31 can play a blocking role between the bristles 32 and the main body 10, and the hair on the bristles 32 is difficult to entangle on the support arms 31 and then contact the main body 10 and entangle on the main body 10 and the rotating shaft of the motor.

[0047] That is to say, in this embodiment, by setting a support arm 31 between the bristles 32 and the main body 10, and making the extension direction of the support arm 31 different from the extension direction of the bristles 32, such a setting can prevent the hair entangled on the bristles 32 from bypassing the support arm 31 and being entangled on the main body 10 and the motor shaft for driving the main body 10 to rotate, thereby preventing the motor from being blocked and burned, and having higher safety in use, which can increase the service life of the cleaning device using the side sweeping assembly in this embodiment.

[0048] The support arm 31 and the support cantilever 211 in the present embodiment both extend radially along the main body 10. After the bristles 32 and the mop body 22 are connected to the support cantilever 211 and the support cantilever 211, compared with the manner of extending the support arm 31 and the support cantilever 211 in other directions, the bristles 32 and the mop body 22 in the present embodiment are the farthest away from the main body 10, and the bristles 32 and the mop body 22 are not easy to contact with the main body 10, and the hair on the bristles 32 and the mop body 22 are even less likely to contact with the main body 10 and be entangled on the main body 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a stopper 311 is provided between one end of the bristles 32 connected to the support arm 31 and the second end of the support arm 31. Optionally, the stopper 311 in this embodiment includes a stopper protrusion, which is provided on the support arm 31 and protrudes from at least the outer edge of one end of the bristles 32 connected to the support arm 31. In this way, the hair wound around the bristles 32 is not easy to bypass the stopper protrusion and wind around the support arm 31 and the main body 10. Optionally, the stopper protrusion in this embodiment is integrally formed with the support arm 31. In actual processing, it is only necessary to make the second end of the support arm 31 protrude from the outer periphery of the bristles 32. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the stop portion 311 can also be other structures such as a stop block welded, screwed or clamped on the second end of the support arm 31 or one end of the bristles 32 close to the support arm 31. As long as it is other deformation methods based on the concept of the present application, it is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, there is a first angle C between the support arm 31 and the bristles 32, and the first angle C is greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 150°. That is to say, the first angle C in this embodiment satisfies the relationship: 90°≤C≤150°, such as 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140° or 150°. When the first angle C is less than 90°, the end of the bristles 32 away from the support arm 31 will be arranged in the direction of the main body 10, which is not convenient for cleaning the edge of the space, and the hair is easy to contact the main body 10; when the first angle C is greater than 150°, as the main body 10 rotates, the hair on the bristles 32 is easy to pass over the bristles 32 and entangled on the support arm 31. That is to say, in this embodiment, by making the first angle C satisfy the relationship: 90°≤C≤150°, not only the cleaning effect of the side sweeping assembly can be ensured, but also the hair on the bristles 32 can be prevented from being entangled on the support arm 31 and the main body 10.

[0052] Furthermore, the bristles 32 in this embodiment include antistatic bristles, that is, the bristles 32 in this embodiment have an antistatic effect, so that the bristles 32 can be prevented from rubbing against the hair to generate static electricity and adsorb the hair on the bristles 32. Exemplarily, the bristles 32 include rubber bristles or plastic bristles, which have a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the main body 10 has a first side. Figure 3 The plane A in the middle is the boundary, and the first side is the main body 10 at Figure 2 In the figure, the bristles 32 and the mop body 22 are both located on the first side of the main body 10, and the mop body 22 has a mopping surface 221. The surface through the end of the bristles 32 away from the support arm and parallel to the mopping surface 221 is a first plane B, wherein the maximum distance H between the mopping surface 221 and the first plane B is not greater than a predetermined value. Exemplarily, the predetermined value is less than or equal to 5 mm. In this embodiment, by making the maximum distance H between the mopping surface 221 and the first plane B less than or equal to 5 mm, such as 0 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm or 5 mm, it can be ensured that after the side sweep assembly is installed on the cleaning device and the cleaning device is placed on the ground, the bristles 32 and the mopping surface 221 can both be in contact with the ground, and the side sweep assembly can perform cleaning and mopping operations at the same time.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the value of the predetermined value can also be adjusted according to the actual structure, as long as it is ensured that when the side sweeping component is used, the mopping floor 221 and the bristles 32 can contact the ground at the same time.

[0055] In combination with the above embodiments, it can be known that the side sweeping assembly of the present application includes a main body 10, a mopping mechanism 20, and a support arm 31 of a cleaning mechanism 30. When the driving member is working, the main body 10 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the mopping mechanism 20 and the cleaning mechanism 30 connected to the main body 10 can rotate synchronously with the main body 10, thereby driving the mopping body 22 to perform a mopping action, and driving the cleaning mechanism 30 to perform a cleaning operation, which can improve the cleaning force of the side sweeping assembly on the ground. In addition, since a support arm 31 is provided between the bristles 32 and the main body 10, the extension direction of the support arm 31 is different from the extension direction of the bristles 32, and a stopper 311 is provided on the support arm 31, a cleaning stop can be achieved to prevent the hair on the bristles 32 from moving toward the side close to the main body 10, and the hair can be prevented from rising along the bristles 32 to the main body 10 and the rotating shaft of the motor to cause the motor to burn. At the same time, the bristles 32 have an antistatic effect, which can prevent the bristles 32 from rubbing against the hair to generate static electricity and absorb the hair, thereby avoiding the need for users to manually clean while sweeping.

[0056] See also Figure 5 As shown, according to another aspect of the present application, the present application further provides a cleaning device, which may be, for example, a sweeping robot, or a cleaning base station, etc. The cleaning device includes the side sweeping component in the above embodiment, and therefore, the cleaning device includes all the technical effects of the side sweeping component in the above embodiment. Since the technical effects of the side sweeping component have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.

[0057] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only to facilitate the distinction between corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
