[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] It should also be noted that the term "includes", "comprising" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a commodity or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such commodity or device. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the commodity or device including the elements.

[0039] In the related art, since the area behind the water-absorbing scraper strip inside the cleaning device is relatively small, the space for installing the mop is small, and there is only a narrow gap between the edge of the cleaning device and the scraper strip, which seriously affects the water-wiping performance of the robot. During use, water stains are easily left on the surface of the cleaned operating surface, affecting the user's experience.

[0040] Based on the above description, the present invention provides a mop holder for a cleaning device and a cleaning device, wherein the mop holder is connected to a mop on a side facing an operating surface to support the mop, the mop is configured to clean the operating surface, one end of the mop holder is connected to the cleaning device, and the mop holder has a first state in which it is opened under normal working conditions and a second state in which it is at least partially contracted when it touches an obstacle; wherein, in the normal working condition, a projection of at least a portion of the mop holder on the operating surface does not overlap with a projection of the cleaning device on the operating surface.

[0041] The mop bracket designed in the present disclosure is installed on the cleaning device. Through the mop bracket, when the robot contacts obstacles such as wall corners and table legs, at least a portion of the mop bracket can be tilted upward, thereby preventing the mop bracket from at least partially deforming downward and lifting the robot due to external pressure.

[0042] In view of this, optional embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a mop bracket 1200 for a cleaning device 1000 and the cleaning device 1000. Figure 1As shown, the cleaning device 1000 includes a cleaning device body 1100 and a mop holder 1200, and the mop holder 1200 is disposed on the cleaning device body 1100. The mop holder 1200 is connected to a mop 1300 on the side facing the operating surface, and the mop 1300 is connected to the mop holder 1200 and configured to clean the operating surface. The mop holder 1200 is used to increase the installation space of the mop 1300 and support the mop 1300 to clean the operating surface, so as to speed up the cleaning speed of the mop 1300 on the operating surface. The mop 1300 can be a dry cloth or any other mop 1300 except the dry cloth, and the user can replace different types of mops 1300 as needed.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mop holder 1200 has a working state and a non-working state. When the mop holder 1200 is in the working state, at least a portion of the mop holder 1200 extends to the outside of the main body of the cleaning device 1000. At this time, the projection of at least a portion of the mop holder 1200 on the operating surface does not overlap with the projection of the main body of the cleaning device 1000 on the operating surface. In the working state, the mop holder 1200 can be connected to the mop 1300, and the mop holder 1200 can move under the drive of the cleaning device body 1100 so that the mop 1300 cleans the operating surface.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 1000 stops working, the mop bracket 1200 switches from the working state to the non-working state, that is, under the control of the control unit of the cleaning device 1000, the mop bracket 1200 is stored inside the cleaning device body 1100. At this time, the projection of the mop bracket 1200 on the operating surface roughly overlaps with the projection of the main body of the cleaning device 1000 on the operating surface, reducing the space occupied by the cleaning device 1000, so that the mop bracket 1200 is pressed and contracted to fit the side wall of the fuselage as much as possible to minimize interference with the rotation direction of the fuselage. It is convenient to organize and store the cleaning device 1000, and it is simple and beautiful.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mop holder 1200 has a first state and a second state in the working state. When the mop holder 1200 is in the first state, the mop 1300 can be installed on the mop holder 1200, and the mop 1300 contacts the operating surface under the action of the mop holder 1200. The mop holder 1200 works normally and can clean the operating surface. During the operation of the cleaning device 1000, if the mop holder 1200 encounters an obstacle, at least part of the mop holder 1200 will be lifted to the side away from the operating surface and contracted inward due to the push or squeeze with the obstacle. At this time, the mop holder 1200 is in the second state, that is, the mop holder 1200 has a first state of being opened in the normal working state and a second state of being at least partially contracted when touching an obstacle.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 1000 touches an obstacle during operation, if at least a portion of the mop bracket 1200 is tilted toward the direction of the operating surface, a large area of ​​the mop 1300 may be separated from the operating surface, resulting in a cleaning dead corner left by the cleaning device 1000 during operation.

[0048] Therefore, if the tilting direction of the portion of the mop holder 1200 that contacts the obstacle is not controlled, the cleaning device 1000 may be lifted up or overturned by the mop holder 1200 and cannot continue to work, affecting the normal use of the cleaning device 1000. Therefore, when the mop holder 1200 is in the second state, at least a portion of the mop holder 1200 tilts and contracts in a direction away from the operating surface.

[0049] In some embodiments, the mop support 1200 includes a connecting portion 1210, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting portion 1210 is disposed at one end of the mop bracket 1200 adjacent to the cleaning device body 1100 , and is configured to connect the mop bracket 1200 to the cleaning device 1000 .

[0050] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the connection part 1210 includes a first connection part 1211 and a second connection part 1212, wherein the first connection part 1211 is disposed on a side of the mop bracket 1200 adjacent to the cleaning device 1000 and extends in the thickness direction of the mop bracket 1200; the second connection part 1212 is connected to the first connection part 1211 and extends in the thickness direction of the mop bracket 1200. Optionally, the angle formed by the first connection part 1211 and the second connection part 1212 may be a right angle, so that the mop bracket 1200 is connected to the cleaning device 1000 in its width direction and thickness direction, so as to keep the mop bracket 1200 stably connected to the cleaning device 1000.

[0051] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the mop 1300 is connected to the side of the second connection portion 1212 facing the operating surface, and the side of the second connection portion 1212 facing the operating surface is in contact with the operating surface, so that the mop 1300 is in flat contact with the operating surface, so that the operating surface can be cleaned by moving the cleaning device 1000.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mop holder 1200 includes avoidance parts 1220, which are disposed on both sides of the mop holder 1200 and are configured to be connected to the mop 1300. When the mop holder 1200 is in a first state, the avoidance parts 1220 can be connected to the mop 1300 so that the mop holder 1200 drives the mop 1300 to clean the operation surface. When the mop holder 1200 is in a second state, at least part of the avoidance parts 1220 drives the mop 1300 to tilt up to avoid the obstacle.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the mop holder 1200 is in a natural state without the mop 1300 installed, at least part of the avoidance portion 1220 is in a tilted state, that is, at least part of the avoidance portion 1220 tilts in a direction away from the operating surface, and the tilted portion makes the mop holder 1200 have a pre-contraction angle, so that when the mop holder 1200 touches an obstacle, at least part of the mop holder 1200 tilts upward toward the side away from the operating surface and shrinks inward. It is prevented that the mop 1300 is separated from the operating surface in a large area or the cleaning module of the cleaning device 1000 is separated from the operating surface due to at least part of the mop holder 1200 tilting downward, resulting in a cleaning dead corner left by the cleaning device 1000 during the working process. If the tilting direction of the part of the mop holder 1200 that contacts the obstacle is not controlled, the cleaning device 1000 may be lifted up or overturned by the mop holder 1200 and cannot continue to work.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the mop support 1200 is installed with the mop 1300, the mop 1300 has a certain pulling effect on the avoidance portion 1220, so that at least part of the avoidance portion 1220 is in contact with the operating surface, so that the mop 1300 is in substantially flat contact with the operating surface. In response to the mop 1300 being installed on the avoidance portion 1220, the avoidance portion 1220 can be switched from a tilted state to a substantially flat state.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the avoidance portion 1220 is in a flat state, the mop holder 1200 is in a first state, and at this time, the mop 1300 can clean the operation surface along with the mop holder 1200. Further, in response to the avoidance portion 1220 touching an obstacle, the mop holder 1200 switches from the first state to the second state, and the avoidance portion 1220 switches from a flat state to a raised state, thereby avoiding the obstacle.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the mop bracket 1200 also includes a contact portion 1230, which is arranged at one end of the mop bracket 1200 away from the cleaning device body 1100, and the contact portion 1230 is connected to the mop 1300 on the side facing the operating surface, and is configured to make the mop 1300 have pre-pressure relative to the operating surface.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, with the plane where the operating surface is located as the reference plane L1, the angle between the bottom surface L2 of the contact portion 1230 and the reference plane L1 is not greater than 0°, and the contact portion 1230 abuts against the operating surface so that the mop 1300 at the contact portion 1230 fits the operating surface. The deformation of the avoidance portion 1220 serves as the pre-compression amount of the mop bracket 1200, which is conducive to enhancing the wiping and cleaning effect of the mop 1300.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the reference plane L1 and the plane where the bottom surface of the contact portion 1230 is located is α. Since the angle α is located below the reference plane L1, the angle α is <0°.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the avoidance portion 1220 touches an obstacle, at least a portion of the avoidance portion 1220 switches from a flat state to a tilted state, and the avoidance portion 1220 is at least partially tilted in a direction away from the operating surface. At the same time, the end of the contact portion 1230 away from the avoidance portion 1220 can be tilted downward in the direction of the operating surface to press the mop 1300 so that the mop 1300 maintains contact with the operating surface, thereby avoiding water stains caused by the mop 1300 being too far away from the operating area and causing inadequate cleaning of the operating surface.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mop holder 1200 is an elastic member having a certain resilience. When the mop 1300 is away from an obstacle, the mop holder 1200 will switch from the second state to the first state, and the avoidance portion 1220 will switch from the raised state to a substantially flat state.

[0061] In some embodiments, the mop bracket 1200 further includes a support portion 1240. At least a portion of the support portion 1240 is raised relative to the upper surface of the mop bracket 1200 and is connected to the avoidance portions 1220 on both sides of the mop bracket 1200, and is configured to provide a restoring force for the avoidance portions 1220, so that the avoidance portions 1220 are switched from the tilted state to the flat state.

[0062] Specifically, the support portion 1240 can support the avoidance portion 1220 and the contact portion 1230 to press the mop 1300 in the first state so that the mop 1300 contacts the operating surface. Driven by the cleaning device body 1100, the operating surface is cleaned through repeated friction between the mop 1300 and the operating surface.

[0063] When the mop holder 1200 encounters an obstacle during movement, the mop holder 1200 switches from the first state to the second state. At this time, the support portion 1240 can give a certain support force to the avoidance portion 1220, so that the avoidance portion 1220 tilts and shrinks along a preset tilting angle in a direction away from the operating surface. At the same time, the support portion 1240 can also press the contact portion 1230 against the operating surface to ensure that the mop 1300 is in contact with the operating surface so that the mop 1300 can still keep the operating surface clean when the cleaning device 1000 encounters an obstacle.

[0064] In some embodiments, the hardness of the support portion 1240 is greater than the hardness of the avoidance portion 1220. Since the mop holder 1200 is an elastic member as a whole, when the cleaning device 1000 is away from an obstacle, the mop holder 1200 will switch from the second state to the first state. At this time, at least part of the avoidance portion 1220 stretches in the direction away from the support portion 1240, and at the same time, the edge of the avoidance portion 1220 flattens in the direction of the operating surface. Since the hardness of the support portion 1240 is relatively large, when the cleaning device 1000 is away from an obstacle, the support portion 1240 can support the avoidance portion 1220 to switch from the tilted state to the flat state, so that the mop 1300 can restore the normal coverage area and clean the operating surface.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mop bracket 1200 also includes a first groove 1201, which is disposed on a side of the support portion 1240 away from the connecting portion 1210, and is configured such that when the mop bracket 1200 is switched from the first state to the second state, the first groove 1201 accommodates at least a portion of the avoidance portion 1220, so that the avoidance portion 1220 is as close to the side wall of the fuselage as possible when compressed and contracted to minimize interference with the rotation direction of the fuselage.

[0066] Specifically, in the working state, when the mop bracket 1200 touches an obstacle, at least a portion of the avoidance portion 1220 is squeezed externally and switches from a flat state to a raised state. At this time, the curvature of the first groove 1201 can guide the avoidance portion 1220 to be raised toward the side away from the operating surface, and at least a portion of the avoidance portion 1220 is received in the first groove 1201.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the first state, the curvature of the first groove 1201 is approximately the same as the curvature of the edge of the avoidance portion 1220. Therefore, when the mop bracket 1200 is switched from the first state to the second state, the avoidance portion 1220 is tilted along the curvature of the first groove 1201, and at least a portion of the avoidance portion 1220 can be received in the first groove 1201.

[0068] In some embodiments, the depth of the first groove 1201 is greater than half of the height from the top of the first groove 1201 to the operating surface.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, for example, a cross-sectional view at point A in the first groove 1201 is taken, the depth of the first groove 1201 at point A is h, and the height from the top of the first groove 1201 to the operating surface is H, wherein h>0.5H. Under this condition, when the mop bracket 1200 is switched from the first state to the second state, the raised portion of the avoidance portion 1220 can be stored in the first groove 1201, which has structural symmetry and spatial aesthetics. At the same time, since the avoidance portion 1220 has a rebound force, the avoidance portion 1220 stored in the first groove 1201 can make the cleaning module have a tendency to stay away from the obstacle, so that the cleaning device 1000 is away from the obstacle.

[0070] In some embodiments, the bottom of the first groove 1201 is a rounded structure. The rounded structure design can increase the surface area inside the first groove 1201, and further increase the area where the inner wall of the first groove 1201 fits with the avoidance portion 1220, so as to accommodate more parts of the avoidance portion 1220. From a process perspective, the rounded structure design inside the first groove 1201 effectively reduces stress concentration, improves the overall mechanical structural strength of the mop bracket 1200, is more conducive to die punching and demoulding during processing, and also has the advantages of safe and beautiful finished products.

[0071] In some embodiments, the tilting angle of the avoidance portion 1220 gradually decreases from the end away from the contact portion 1230 to the end close to the contact portion 1230. Figure 3 As shown, the tilting angle of the end of the avoidance portion 1220 away from the contact portion 1230 is greater than the tilting angle of the end of the avoidance portion 1220 close to the contact portion 1230 .

[0072] Since the cleaning device 1000 can rotate in situ when in working state, obstacles can be avoided by rotating in situ. When one end of the avoidance portion 1220 is tilted at a high angle, the other parts of the avoidance portion 1220 can still keep driving the mop 1300 to contact the operating surface, thereby avoiding obstacles while ensuring the maximum cleaning area of ​​the operating surface by the mop 1300.

[0073] In some embodiments, an upward characteristic line may be provided inside the first groove 1201, the upward characteristic line extending in the same direction as the first groove 1201 and having an intersection with the contact portion 1230. The avoidance portion 1220 is tilted along the upward characteristic line in a direction away from the operating surface. In response to the mop bracket 1200 being in the second state, at least part of the avoidance portion 1220 is tilted upward to be away from the operating surface; the closer the upward portion of the avoidance portion 1220 is to the intersection, the smaller the upward angle of the upward portion is.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the mop bracket 1200 is in the second state, the maximum tilting angle of the avoidance portion 1220 is not less than 20 degrees.

[0075] When the mop bracket 1200 touches an obstacle, the mop bracket 1200 switches from the first state to the second state. In the second state, the avoidance portion 1220 of the mop bracket 1200 is tilted under the pressure of the obstacle, and the tilting angle of the end of the avoidance portion 1220 adjacent to the obstacle is not less than 20°. Figure 2 As shown, taking the plane where the operating surface is located as the reference plane L1, the angle β between the edge L3 of the avoidance portion 1220 and the reference plane L1 is ≥ 20°.

[0076] At this time, since the avoidance portion 1220 has a certain resilience, when the avoidance portion 1220 is in a tilted state, in response to the cleaning device 1000 moving in the direction away from the obstacle, the avoidance portion 1220 can gradually change from a tilted state to a flat state to assist the cleaning device 1000 to move in the direction away from the obstacle.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mop bracket 1200 further includes a reinforcing rib 1250, which is disposed inside the first groove 1201, and the two ends of the reinforcing rib 1250 are respectively connected to the connecting portion 1210 and the avoiding portion 1220, and are configured to adjust the resilience of the avoiding portion 1220. In response to the mop bracket 1200 touching an obstacle, the reinforcing rib 1250 assists the mop bracket 1200 in switching from the first state to the second state.

[0078] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 1250 can be perpendicular to the upward characteristic line to provide a stronger rebound force for the avoidance portion 1220, so that after the cleaning device 1000 is away from an obstacle, the avoidance portion 1220 can quickly switch from a raised state to a flat state.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the mop bracket 1200 further includes an air duct structure 1260 , which is disposed on a side of the mop bracket 1200 facing the operating surface. The opening of the air duct structure 1260 faces the mop 1300 and is configured to allow a drying airflow to pass through to dry the mop 1300 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the mop support 1200 further includes a second groove 1202 , which is disposed downstream of the drying airflow and configured to increase the circulation space of the drying airflow to assist in drying the mop 1300 .

[0081] In some embodiments, the mop bracket 1200 is an integrally formed part with good resilience, good mechanical strength, smooth surface, simple operation and high production efficiency during processing.

[0082] It should be noted that the mop bracket 1200 can be a plastic structural member with a certain degree of elasticity. When the mop bracket 1200 is connected to the cleaning device body 1100, the position of the mop bracket 1200 relative to the cleaning device body 1100 can be controlled by a control unit. The mop bracket 1200 is used to connect the mop 1300 and move synchronously with the cleaning device body 1100 to clean the operating surface. One or more mop brackets 1200 can be arranged inside the cleaning device 1000.

[0083] In some embodiments, the mop bracket 1200 and the cleaning device body 1100 may be interference fit. The interference fit connection is characterized by simple structure, large load-bearing capacity, small weakening of the strength of the shaft and the hub, and good impact resistance. In some embodiments, the cleaning device 1000 may be a mopping robot, in which case the cleaning device 1000 works on an operating surface, which is the ground; the cleaning device 1000 may also be a window cleaning robot, in which case the cleaning device 1000 works on the outer glass surface of the building, which is the operating surface; the cleaning device 1000 may also be a pipe cleaning robot, in which case the cleaning device 1000 works on the inner surface of the pipe, which is the operating surface. Purely for the purpose of demonstration, the following description of the cleaning device 1000 in this application is illustrated by taking the mopping robot as an example.

[0084] The cleaning device 1000 is provided with a driving component and a control unit. The driving component can be used to drive the cleaning device body 1100 to reciprocate along the surface of the operating surface. The side of the cleaning device body 1100 that contacts the operating surface is provided with a cleaning cloth or a cleaning plate. Furthermore, the reciprocating motion of the cleaning device body 1100 generates high-frequency friction with the operating surface, thereby removing stains on the operating surface.

[0085] The control unit is used to control the position of the mop bracket 1200 relative to the cleaning device body 1100. When the cleaning device 1000 is in working state, the mop bracket 1200 is at least partially extended from the cleaning device body 1100 under the action of the control unit, so that the projection of the mop bracket 1200 on the operation surface does not overlap with the cleaning device body 1100. When the cleaning device 1000 is in non-working state, the mop bracket 1200 is stored inside the cleaning device body 1100 under the control of the control unit. At this time, the projection of the mop bracket 1200 on the operation surface overlaps with the projection of the cleaning device 1000 body on the operation surface.

[0086] The specific structure, working principle, and beneficial effects of the mop holder and cleaning device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can refer to the mop holder and cleaning device described in any of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.
