[0031] For example, cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners and sweepers can complete the cleaning work of the area to be cleaned by identifying dust or debris, which helps to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment. However, in the actual cleaning process, due to the limitations of the location of the area to be cleaned, light, and the working path of the cleaning equipment, the display of dust or debris in the cleaning equipment is unclear, and there is a technical problem that the cleaning is not thorough due to the inability to identify dust or debris in the area to be cleaned.

[0032] The present disclosure provides a cleaning module. Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a cleaning device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 is a perspective structural diagram of a cleaning module in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning module 1 includes a main body 11, a cleaning member 12 and a light emitting assembly 13. The main body 11 includes an assembly space 114, the assembly space 114 is provided with a cleaning opening 1141, the cleaning member 12 is installed in the assembly space 114, at least a portion of the cleaning member 12 is exposed from the cleaning opening 1141 to the main body 11, so as to form a cleaning edge 121 at the front end of the cleaning direction of the cleaning module 1. The main body 11 also includes a first structural component 111 disposed at least at one end of the cleaning edge 121, the light emitting assembly 13 is assembled in the first structural component 111, the light of the light emitting assembly 13 forms a light and shadow area on a plane parallel to the cleaning edge 121, the main body 11 forms a projection area in the cleaning direction, and the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 of the light and shadow area outside the projection area and the cleaning edge 121 is greater than or equal to 140°.

[0033] The main body part 11 forms a projection area in the cleaning direction, and the projection area may refer to the projection space of the main body part 11 in the cleaning direction, and the first light and shadow edge 14 is located outside the projection space.

[0034] The present disclosure provides a light emitting component 13 for the cleaning module 1, so that the light emitting component 13 forms a light and shadow area on the surface to be cleaned to make dust or debris obvious, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning module 1. Among them, the main body 11 forms a projection area in the cleaning direction, and the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 of the light and shadow area outside the projection area and the cleaning edge 121 is greater than or equal to 140°, so that the observation range of the cleaning module 1 for dust or impurities is expanded, which helps to optimize the cleaning plan and improve the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that the cleaning module 1 can be a head module that realizes the cleaning function in a cleaning device 2 such as a sweeper or a vacuum cleaner. During the use of the cleaning module 1, the movement of the cleaning module 1 can drive the cleaning member 12 to realize the cleaning function. The moving direction of the cleaning module 1 can be the cleaning direction, and the front end of the cleaning member 12 in the cleaning direction forms a cleaning edge 121. Among them, the cleaning member 12 can be a roller brush, a bristle brush, a cleaning cloth or a cleaning block of other materials, and the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, taking the cleaning member 12 as a roller brush, in the cleaning direction, the front end of the roller brush forms a cleaning edge 121. Figure 1-Figure 5 The dashed arrow shown in can represent the cleaning direction.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first structural component 111 is arranged at one end of the cleaning edge 121, and the second structural component 112 is arranged at the other end of the cleaning edge 121. The main body part 11 also includes a third structural component 113 connecting the first structural component 111 and the second structural component 112. The first structural component 111, the second structural component 112 and the third structural component 113 enclose the above-mentioned assembly space 114, and the cleaning member 12 is installed in the assembly space 114. Among them, the first structural component 111 and / or the second structural component 112 may be provided with a mounting structure 115, and the cleaning member 12 is assembled and matched with the mounting structure 115 to realize the assembly of the cleaning member 12.

[0037] In other embodiments, the first structural assembly 111 is disposed at both ends of the cleaning edge 121, and the main body 11 further includes a third structural assembly 113 connecting the two first structural assemblies 111, the first structural assembly 111 and the third structural assembly 113 enclose the above-mentioned assembly space 114, and the cleaning member 12 is installed in the assembly space 114. Among them, the first structural assembly 111 can be provided with a mounting structure 115, and the cleaning member 12 is assembled and matched with the mounting structure 115 to realize the assembly of the cleaning member 12.

[0038] In the above embodiment, taking the cleaning member 12 as a roller brush as an example, both ends of the roller brush along the axial direction can be assembled and matched with the mounting structure 115 to achieve a rotational connection with the main body component 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first structural component 111 is provided with a receiving space and a light-transmitting opening 1111 communicating with the receiving space, and at least a portion of the light-emitting component 13 is received in the receiving space so that light is emitted from the light-transmitting opening 1111. Since the first structural component 111 is disposed at at least one end of the cleaning edge 121, a positional relationship is formed in which the first structural component 111 and the cleaning member 12 are adjacent in the extending direction of the cleaning edge 121, and at least a portion of the light-emitting component 13 is received in the receiving space of the first structural component 111, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the cleaning module 1 and enables the light to obtain the expected light and shadow range.

[0040] It should be noted that the light-transmitting opening 1111 may be a through hole formed on the first structural component 111 and communicating with the accommodation space. Alternatively, the light-transmitting opening 1111 may also be a baffle structure formed of a light-transmitting material such as glass or acrylic.

[0041] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting opening 1111 is disposed in the front area of ​​the first structural component 111 in the cleaning direction, so that the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 formed by light passing through the light-transmitting opening 1111 and the cleaning edge 121 is greater than or equal to 140°. For example, the first structural component 111 includes an arcuate surface disposed in the cleaning direction, and the light-transmitting opening 1111 may be a preset area formed on the above-mentioned arcuate surface. For another example, the first structural component 111 includes an end face disposed toward the assembly space 114, and the light-transmitting opening 1111 may be a preset area formed on the above-mentioned end face. The above-mentioned end face may be disposed obliquely relative to the arcuate surface, or may be disposed perpendicularly to the arcuate surface.

[0042] The light-transmitting opening 1111 may be rectangular, circular, elliptical or other irregular shapes, and may be configured according to specific light-transmitting requirements, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting assembly 13 includes a light-emitting body 131 and a lens 132 covering the outside of the light-emitting body 131. The lens 132 includes a first light-transmissive area 1321 and a second area 1322 provided with a light-shielding structure 135. The second area 1322 is arranged around the first area 1321 to define the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 and the clean edge 121. The light of the light-emitting body 131 propagates from the light-emitting body 131 through the lens 132 to form a conical light and shadow area. For specific propagation parameters of the lens 132, a light-shielding structure 135 is arranged in the second area 1322 of the lens 132 to define the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 and the clean edge 121, which can simplify the structural setting and improve the accuracy of the angle α.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the light shielding structure 135 may include a first portion 1351 and a second portion 1352 disposed on the outer surface of the second region 1322, the first portion 1351 includes a first end surface connected to the outer surface of the first region 1321, the second portion 1352 includes a second end surface connected to the outer surface of the first region 1321, and the second end surface is flush with the first light and shadow edge 14, so that light is emitted from the first region 1321 between the first end surface and the second end surface. The emission range of light is determined by the first end surface and the second end surface, which simplifies the structural setting of the lens 132 and helps to improve the accuracy of the angle α between the cleaning edge 121 and the first light and shadow edge 14.

[0045] Alternatively, the light-shielding structure 135 may also be a light-shielding coating disposed on the inner surface or the outer surface of the second region 1322 , so as to limit the angle α between the cleaning edge 121 and the first light and shadow edge 14 through the light-shielding coating.

[0046] In the above embodiment, at least a portion of the lens 132 can be made to protrude from the outer side of the first structural component 111, so as to expand the light propagation range through the lens 132 protruding from the outer side of the first structural component 111, and increase the angle α between the cleaning edge 121 and the first light and shadow edge 14. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the shading structure 135 can be set as a first part 1351 and a second part 1352 on the outer surface of the second area 1322, the first part 1351 includes a first end face connected to the outer surface of the first area 1321, the second part 1352 includes a second end face connected to the outer surface of the first area 1321, the first end face is flush with the cleaning edge 121, and the second end face is flush with the first light and shadow edge 14, so that light is emitted from the first area 1321 between the first end face and the second end face.

[0047] In the above embodiment, at least a portion of the light-emitting body 131 can also be made to protrude from the outer side surface of the first structural component 111, so as to expand the light propagation range through the light-emitting body 131 protruding from the outer side surface of the first structural component 111 and the lens 132 covering the light-emitting body 131, thereby further increasing the angle α between the cleaning edge 121 and the first light and shadow edge 14.

[0048] Or, if Figure 5 As shown, the optical axis of the light formed by the light emitting body 131 can be tilted relative to the cleaning direction, so as to obtain the expected light propagation range through the tilted light emitting body 131. The above-mentioned optical axis of the light is tilted relative to the cleaning direction, which can be that the optical axis light is tilted relative to the cleaning direction on a plane parallel to the cleaning edge 121, or that the optical axis light is tilted relative to the cleaning direction on a plane perpendicular to the cleaning edge 121, or that the optical axis light is tilted relative to the cleaning direction on a plane that forms other angles α with the cleaning edge 121.

[0049] In other embodiments, the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 and the cleaning edge 121 may be limited by adjusting the setting position of the light emitting component 13, the relative position relationship between the light emitting body 131 and the lens 132, parameters of the lens 132, etc.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the light and shadow area can form a second light and shadow edge 15 inside the projection area of ​​the main part 11 in the cleaning direction. The second light and shadow edge 15 can be parallel to the cleaning edge 121 or at a preset angle α to jointly define the light and shadow area with the first light and shadow edge 14.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the light emitting assembly 13 may further include a circuit board 133 and a bracket 134, the bracket 134 is assembled to the first structural assembly 111, the light emitting body 131 is assembled to the circuit board 133, the lens 132 is assembled to the bracket 134, and the light emitting body 131 is accommodated in the limited space surrounded by the lens 132, the bracket 134 and the circuit board 133 to realize the assembly and fixation of the light emitting body 131. Among them, the circuit board 133 can be fixedly assembled to the main body 11, and the lens 132 can be abutted against the top of the light emitting body 131 to realize the tight wrapping of the light emitting body 131. Among them, the lens 132 can be fixed on the bracket 134 by overmolding.

[0052] The material of the bracket 134 includes a light-shielding material to prevent light from leaking from the bracket 134 during propagation. For example, a dark light-shielding material can be selected for the bracket 134. The light-emitting body 131 can be one or more LED lamp beads.

[0053] It should be noted that the light emitted by the luminous body can be colored light, so as to form a contrast with the shadows produced by the ground debris, making the debris clearer. For example, the light emitted by the luminous body is green light.

[0054] The present disclosure further provides a cleaning device 2, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning device 2 includes the above-mentioned cleaning module 1.

[0055] Since the cleaning module 1 is provided with a light emitting component 13, the light and shadow area formed by the light emitting component 13 on the surface to be cleaned makes the dust or impurities obvious, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning module 1. Among them, the main body 11 forms a projection area in the cleaning direction, and the angle α between the first light and shadow edge 14 of the light and shadow area outside the projection area and the cleaning edge 121 is greater than or equal to 140°, so that the observation range of the cleaning module 1 for dust or impurities is expanded, which helps to optimize the cleaning plan and improve the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

[0056] It should be noted that the cleaning device 2 may be a sweeper, a vacuum cleaner, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0057] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and does not limit the present disclosure in any form. Although the present disclosure has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present disclosure. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present disclosure.
