DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the technical solution provided by the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the technical solution provided by the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0045] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the utility model. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0046] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present utility model thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the mop 100' in the related art includes a fixed area 110', a vibration area 120', and a flexible connection portion 130' connecting the fixed area 110' and the vibration area 120'. The flexible connection portion 130' is substantially rectangular. Figure 1 The flexible connection parts 130' in the embodiment are distributed in two rectangles. In other embodiments, the flexible connection parts 130' may also be distributed in one rectangle. Figure 1 Taking a rectangle in the flexible connection part as an example, the flexible connection part 130' includes a first section 131', a second section 132', a third section 133' and a fourth section 134' which are sequentially connected and distributed in a rectangular shape. The extension direction of the first section 131' and the third section 133' is perpendicular to the moving direction of the cleaning device, and the extension direction of the second section 132' and the fourth section 134' is parallel to the width direction of the mop 100', wherein the moving direction of the cleaning device is parallel to the width direction of the mop 100', as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown by the arrow X in the figure. Since the second section 132' and the fourth section 134' flow toward the water stains in the process of moving in parallel with the direction of the cleaning device, when the mop 100' is used to mop the surface to be cleaned, the water stains are more uneven visually, which affects the cleaning effect.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a mop 100, which is suitable for a mop mechanism 200 of a cleaning device 300, and the mop mechanism 200 includes a support platform 210 and a cleaning substrate 220 movably arranged on the support platform 210, and the mop 100 includes: a fixed area 110 and a vibration area 120, the fixed area 110 is used to connect with the support platform 210, the vibration area 120 is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220, and the shapes of the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120 are adapted and distributed on the outside of at least part of the vibration area 120; wherein, the center line of the vibration area 120 is parallel to the traveling direction of the cleaning device 300, and the vibration area 120 includes a first edge 123 located on both sides of the center line, and the distance between the first edge 123 and the center line gradually increases along the traveling direction.

[0049] The mop 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a fixed area 110, a vibration area 120 and a flexible connection part. The fixed area 110 is used to connect with the support platform 210 of the mop mechanism 200, and the vibration area 120 is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220 of the mop mechanism 200. When the support platform 210 of the mop 100 is in a suitable position relative to the surface to be cleaned, the mop 100 will interfere and rub with the surface to be cleaned, so as to remove the stains on the surface to be cleaned as the cleaning device 300 moves. At the same time, through the reciprocating motion of the cleaning substrate 220 relative to the support platform 210, the vibration area 120 of the mop 100 can be driven to generate high-frequency friction with the surface to be cleaned, thereby removing the stains on the surface to be cleaned. The present application considers that the generation of water stains or uneven water stains is largely due to the presence of a seam between the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120. As the mop 100 moves, the movement trajectory of this seam will form a water stain mark. Based on this, the center line passing through the vibration area 120 is parallel to the travel direction of the cleaning device 300. The vibration area 120 includes a first edge 123 located on both sides of the center line. The distance between the first edge 123 and the center line gradually increases along the travel direction. In the process of the mop 100 moving and cleaning, the first edge 123 located behind the travel direction and the fixed area 110 The vibration area 120 will wipe off the water stains formed on the first front side 123. Considering that there will be a gap between the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110, the mop 100 is wide in the front and narrow in the back along the moving direction. However, as the vibration area 120 of the mop 100 vibrates left and right, the narrow part in the back will cover the wide part of the wiping area in the front under the action of vibration during the movement of the mop 100. Based on this, as the mop 100 moves continuously, the water stains in the process of the mop 100 moving will be wiped off, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of the water stains on the surface to be cleaned and improving the cleaning effect.

[0050] Understandably, Figure 2 The X-axis direction is the moving direction of the cleaning device 300 , and N is the center line of the vibration area 120 .

[0051] It is understandable that the higher the friction frequency, the more friction times per unit time. High-frequency reciprocating motion, also called reciprocating vibration, has a much greater cleaning ability than ordinary reciprocating motion, such as rotation and friction cleaning. Optionally, the friction frequency is close to sound waves, and the cleaning effect will be much higher than the rotation and friction cleaning of dozens of revolutions per minute. On the other hand, the tufts on the surface of the mop 100 will be more uniformly extended in the same direction under the shaking of high-frequency vibration, so the overall cleaning effect is more uniform, rather than only applying downward pressure to increase friction and improve the cleaning effect under low-frequency rotation. Downward pressure alone will not make the tufts extend in the same direction. The effect is that the water marks on the operating surface after high-frequency vibration cleaning are more uniform. It is understandable that since the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110 of the mop 100 are connected by a flexible connection, when the vibration area 120 vibrates back and forth under the drive of the cleaning substrate 220, part of the fixed area 110 close to the vibration area 120 will also vibrate back and forth, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0052] Among them, the reciprocating motion direction of the cleaning module is roughly perpendicular to the machine's travel direction, because the reciprocating motion direction parallel to the machine's travel direction will bring instability to the machine itself in motion, because the thrust and resistance in the travel direction will make the drive wheel easy to slip. In the case of a wet cleaning module, the impact of slipping is more obvious, because the wetness of the surface to be cleaned increases the possibility of slipping. In addition to affecting the smooth travel and cleaning of the machine, slipping will also cause inaccurate ranging of sensors such as odometers and gyroscopes, thereby causing the navigation-type automatic cleaning device 300 to be unable to accurately locate and map. In the case of frequent slipping, the impact on SLAM will not be ignored, so it is necessary to avoid slipping machine behavior as much as possible. In addition to slipping, the movement component of the cleaning head in the machine's travel direction causes the machine to be constantly pushed forward and backward while traveling, so the walking of the machine will be unstable and smooth.

[0053] In a feasible implementation manner, the first side 123 is in a straight line or an arc shape.

[0054] In this technical solution, a style of the first edge 123 is further provided. The first edge 123 can be a straight line or an arc. When the first edge 123 is a straight line, the first edge 123 is inclined relative to the width direction of the mop 100. When the first edge 123 is an arc, one end of the first edge 123 is close to the center line. Such a setting makes it easy to achieve that the center line of the vibration area 120 is parallel to the moving direction of the cleaning device 300. The vibration area 120 includes the first edges 123 located on both sides of the center line, and the distance between the first edge 123 and the center line gradually increases along the moving direction.

[0055] In a feasible implementation manner, the vibration region 120 further includes two second sides 124 intersecting the center line, and the two second sides 124 are connected to the two first sides 123 and enclose the vibration region 120; wherein the second sides 124 are arranged perpendicular to the center line.

[0056] In this technical solution, the vibration area 120 also includes two second sides 124 intersecting with the center line, and the vibration area 120 can be enclosed by the second sides 124 and the first sides 123, so that the vibration area 120 is distributed in an approximately trapezoidal shape, and the upper and lower bases of the approximately trapezoid are straight lines, and the two side edges are arc-shaped. It can ensure that the extension direction of each segment of the vibration area 120 is not parallel to the width direction of the mop 100, greatly improve the uniformity of water stains on the surface to be cleaned, and improve the cleaning effect. At the same time, the vibration area 120 is distributed in this shape, which is convenient for processing and is conducive to the processing of the cleaning substrate 220 opposite to the vibration area 120.

[0057] In a feasible implementation manner, the number of the vibration area 120 is at least one.

[0058] In this technical solution, there can be one vibration area 120, which is convenient for the processing and forming of the mop 100, and at the same time convenient for the processing of the mop mechanism 200, which can reduce costs. There can also be two or more vibration areas 120, which can make the vibration mode of the vibration area 120 more complex and improve cleanliness.

[0059] In a feasible implementation manner, at least two vibration regions 120 are arranged in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the center line, and the extension directions of the first edges 123 of the same side of two adjacent vibration regions 120 overlap.

[0060] In this technical solution, an arrangement of the vibration area 120 is further provided, and at least two vibration areas 120 are arranged in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the center line. This arrangement makes there are two vibration areas 120, which can make the vibration mode of the vibration area 120 more complicated. The two directions perpendicular to the center line are arranged in sequence. Based on this, during the movement of the mop 100, the two vibration areas 120 can vibrate and rub along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction, which can further improve the cleaning effect.

[0061] In this technical solution, the extension directions of the first edges 123 on the same side of two adjacent vibration regions 120 overlap, that is, the first edges 123 of the two vibration regions 120 are smoothly and continuously transitioned, and such a setting can further suppress the formation of water stains.

[0062] In a feasible implementation, the mop 100 further includes: a second flexible connection portion, a second gap is provided between the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120 , and the second flexible connection portion is at least located in the second gap for connecting the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120 .

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the second flexible connection portion includes a first section 131, a second section 132, a third section 133, and a fourth section 134 connected in sequence, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are arranged opposite to each other and are perpendicular or inclined to the width direction of the mop 100, and the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are arranged opposite to each other and are inclined to the width direction of the mop 100.

[0064] Among them, the first section 131, the second section 132, the third section 133, and the fourth section 134 of the second flexible connection part are connected in sequence so that the second flexible connection part is approximately distributed in a quadrilateral, and the first section 131 and the third section 133 are relatively arranged and perpendicular or inclined to the width direction of the mop 100, and the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are relatively arranged and inclined to the width direction of the mop 100, so that the extension direction of each section of the second flexible connection part with an approximately quadrilateral distribution is not parallel to the width direction of the mop 100, which can reduce the influence of the second flexible connection part on water stains and cleaning effect, greatly improve the uniformity of water stains on the surface to be cleaned, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0065] In one example of the above embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are arranged opposite to each other and perpendicular to the width direction of the mop 100, that is, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are straight lines, and the first section 131 and the third section 133 are perpendicular to the traveling direction of the cleaning device 300, that is, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are along Figure 2 The second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are arranged opposite to each other and are arranged obliquely with respect to the width direction of the mop 100, wherein the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 can be straight or curved. When the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are straight, the entire second flexible connection portion is distributed in a trapezoidal shape, and when the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are curved, the entire second flexible connection portion is distributed in an irregular pattern similar to a quadrilateral.

[0066] In another example of the above embodiment, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are arranged opposite to each other and are arranged obliquely with respect to the width direction of the mop 100. In this case, the first section 131 and the third section 133 can be straight or curved, and the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are arranged opposite to each other and are arranged obliquely with respect to the width direction of the mop 100. The second section 132 and the fourth section 134 can be straight or curved. When the first section 131, the second section 132, the third section 133, and the fourth section 134 are all straight, the entire second flexible connection portion is distributed in a quadrilateral shape. When one of the two sets of opposite sides of the first section 131 and the third section 133, and the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 is curved, the entire second flexible connection portion can be distributed in an irregular pattern.

[0067] Therefore, by reasonably setting the shapes of the various sections of the second flexible connection portion, the requirements of the cleaning substrate 220 with different shapes can be met, thereby expanding the use range of the mop 100.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are arranged perpendicular to the width direction of the mop 100, and the second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are arc-shaped, that is, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are straight lines and are distributed perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning device 300, that is, the first section 131 and the third section 133 are arranged along Figure 2 The second section 132 and the fourth section 134 are arc-shaped, so that the entire second flexible connection portion is approximately trapezoidal in distribution, and the upper and lower bases of the approximately trapezoid are straight lines, and the two sides are arc-shaped. This shape of the second flexible connection portion can ensure that the extension direction of each section of the second flexible connection portion is not parallel to the width direction of the mop 100, greatly improving the uniformity of water stains on the surface to be cleaned and improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, the second flexible connection portion is distributed in this shape, which is easy to process and is conducive to the processing of the cleaning substrate 220 opposite to the vibration area 120.

[0069] In a feasible embodiment, the mop 100 further includes: a first flexible connection portion 150 , a first gap is provided between two second edges 124 adjacent to two adjacent vibration regions 120 , and the first flexible connection portion 150 is at least located in the first gap for connecting the two adjacent vibration regions 120 .

[0070] like Figure 2As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the vibration area 120 includes a first flexible connection portion 150 located between the first section 131 and the third section 133, and the two ends of the first flexible connection portion 150 are respectively connected to the second section 132 and the fourth section 134, and the first flexible connection portion 150 is used to separate the vibration area 120 into at least two sub-vibration areas 120, and the first flexible connection portion 150 is perpendicular or inclined to the width direction of the mop 100.

[0071] Among them, by setting the first flexible connection part 150, the entire vibration area 120 is divided into at least two sub-vibration areas 120, thereby meeting the requirement of a larger area of ​​the cleaning substrate 220. At the same time, at least two sub-vibration areas 120 are connected by the first flexible connection part 150 to ensure that each sub-vibration area 120 can achieve good high-frequency vibration when the cleaning substrate 220 reciprocates, avoiding the large area of ​​the entire vibration area 120 affecting the effect of high-frequency vibration, so as to ensure a good cleaning effect. At the same time, the first flexible connection part 150 is perpendicular or inclined to the width direction of the mop 100 to ensure that the extension direction of the first flexible connection part 150 is not parallel to the travel direction of the cleaning device 300, so as to reduce the influence of the first flexible connection part 150 on water stains and cleaning effects, and to greatly improve the uniformity of water stains on the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0072] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the first flexible connection portion 150 is arranged in parallel with the first section 131 and the third section 133 to separate the entire vibration area 120 into a first sub-vibration area 121 and a second sub-vibration area 122, so that each sub-vibration area 120 can achieve high-frequency vibration when the cleaning substrate 220 reciprocates.

[0073] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the number of the first flexible connection parts 150 may also be two, three, or another number, so as to divide the entire vibration area 120 into three, four, or another number of sub-vibration areas 120 .

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, along a direction parallel to the center line, the width of the second gap is D1, the size of the vibration area 120 is D2, and the size of the fixed area 110 is D3; wherein, R at the same position = D1 / (D1+D2+D3), and the range of R is 1 / 15 to 1 / 5.

[0075] In this technical solution, in the width direction of the mop 100, by reasonably setting the relationship between the sizes of the second gap, the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110, the ratio of the size of the second gap to the size of the corresponding fixed area 110 can be limited to a smaller range in the moving direction of the cleaning device 300, so as to reduce the influence of the second gap on water stains and cleaning effect, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of water stains on the surface to be cleaned and improving the cleaning effect.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, along the width direction of the mop 100, the ratio of the second gap to the sum of the width of the second gap at the corresponding position, the width of the vibration area 120 and the width of the fixed area 110 can be 1 / 15, 1 / 12, 1 / 10, 1 / 8, 1 / 5 or other ratios that meet the requirements.

[0077] In a feasible embodiment, a first matching piece is provided on one side of the mop 100, and the first matching piece is distributed at least in the fixed area 110, and the mop 100 is installed on the supporting platform 210 through the first matching piece; wherein the first matching piece is one of the Velcro round hair and the Velcro bristle.

[0078] In a feasible implementation, the first matching piece is also distributed in the vibration area 120, and the vibration area 120 is connected to the cleaning substrate 220 through the first matching piece; wherein, the side of the mop 100 facing the supporting platform 210 is set as Velcro round hair.

[0079] Among them, the first matching piece is arranged on the side of the mop 100 facing the supporting platform 210, and the first matching piece can be arranged in the fixed area 110 of the mop 100, so that the mop 100 can be installed on the supporting platform 210 through the first matching piece. It can be understood that the supporting platform 210 can be provided with a second matching piece 240 adapted to the first matching piece, and the first matching piece and the second matching piece 240 are used to realize the detachable connection between the fixed area 110 of the mop 100 and the supporting platform 210.

[0080] Further, the first matching piece may also be distributed in the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120 at the same time, so as to connect with the support platform 210 through the first matching piece distributed in the fixed area 110, and connect with the cleaning substrate 220 through the first matching piece distributed in the vibration area 120, so as to install the entire mop 100 on the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220. It is understandable that the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220 may be provided with a second matching piece 240 adapted to the first matching piece, and the first matching piece and the second matching piece 240 are used to realize the detachable connection between the entire mop 100 and the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220, so as to facilitate the replacement of the mop 100, and the operation is simple and easy to use.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the first mating piece is one of the Velcro bristles and the Velcro scissors, and the second mating piece 240 is the other of the Velcro bristles and the Velcro scissors. Therefore, the first mating piece and the second mating piece 240 are configured as Velcro structures to achieve a detachable connection between the entire mop 100 and the supporting platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220, which is easy to process, has low cost, is simple to operate, and is easy to use.

[0082] In some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the side of the mop 100 facing the supporting platform 210 is set with Velcro bristles, that is, the first matching piece is Velcro bristles, and the first matching piece is distributed in the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110. For example, the Velcro bristles are covered on the side of the mop 100 facing the supporting platform 210, or the material of the side of the mop 100 facing the supporting platform 210 is Velcro bristles. Therefore, the steps of respectively setting Velcro bristles in the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110 are simplified, and the processing and manufacturing of the mop 100 are convenient.

[0083] In a feasible embodiment, the mop 100 further includes: a sliding buckle 140, which is connected to the fixed area 110 and extends along a portion of the edge of the mop 100, and the sliding buckle 140 is detachably mounted on the support platform 210. Therefore, the edge of the mop 100 can be mounted on the support platform 210 by using the sliding buckle 140 to achieve pre-positioning of the mop 100 and the support platform 210, which facilitates the installation of the mop 100 and the support platform 210, so as to improve the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy of the mop 100. It can be understood that the mop 100 can be quickly separated from the support platform 210 by using the sliding buckle 140 to achieve the operation of replacing the mop 100, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0084] Specifically, a rail 211 is provided on the support platform 210, and the sliding buckle 140 extends along the edge of one side of the mop 100. For example, if the shape of the mop 100 is an arch, the sliding buckle 140 is located on the straight edge of the arched mop 100. Therefore, by using the sliding buckle 140 to cooperate with the rail 211, such as inserting the sliding buckle 140 into the rail 211 from the axial direction of the rail 211 or sleeved outside the rail 211, the straight edge of the mop 100 can be quickly and conveniently installed on the support platform 210, and then, by using the Velcro formed by the first matching piece and the second matching piece 240 for bonding, the entire mop 100 can be quickly and conveniently fixed on the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220, and the vibration area 120 is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220, and the first matching piece and the second matching piece 240 can make the entire mop 100 reliably and firmly fixed on the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220 to ensure a good cleaning effect.

[0085] It is understandable that when the mop 100 needs to be replaced, the user pulls the mop 100 to break free from the adhesive force of the Velcro to separate the mop 100 except the sliding buckle 140 from the support platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220, and then moves the mop 100 along the axial direction of the rail 211 to disengage the sliding buckle 140 from the rail 211, so as to realize the disassembly and separation of the mop 100 from the support platform 210, which is simple to operate.

[0086] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a mopping mechanism 200 is proposed. The mopping mechanism 200 includes a supporting platform 210 and a cleaning substrate 220 movably disposed on the supporting platform 210; and a mop 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0087] The mop mechanism 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the mop 100 of any of the above technical solutions, so the mop mechanism 200 has all the beneficial effects of the mop 100 of any of the above technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.

[0088] In the mop mechanism 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, since the cleaning substrate 220 is movable relative to the support platform 210, a certain gap is provided between the cleaning substrate 220 and the support platform 210 to ensure that the cleaning substrate 220 can move smoothly relative to the support platform 210, and the vibration area 120 is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220, the fixed area 110 is connected to the support platform 210, and the flexible connection part is used to connect the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120, so that the flexible connection part is opposite to the gap between the cleaning substrate 220 and the support platform 210, so that the flexible connection part is in a suspended state. When the mop mechanism 200 moves to make the mop 100 contact the surface to be cleaned, the force exerted by the entire mop 100 on the surface to be cleaned will be uneven, such as the flexible connection part has a lower force on the surface to be cleaned than the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120, so that it is easy to visually cause uneven water stains, such as less water stains at the position corresponding to the flexible connection part on the surface to be cleaned, and more water stains at the positions on both sides of the flexible connection part. The mop 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application has a center line through the vibration area 120 that is parallel to the travel direction of the cleaning device 300. The vibration area 120 includes first sides 123 located on both sides of the center line. The distance between the first side 123 and the center line gradually increases along the travel direction. During the movement and cleaning process of the mop 100, the first side 123, the fixed area 110 and the vibration area 120 located at the rear of the travel direction will wipe off the water stains formed by the first side 123 in front. Meanwhile, considering that there will be a gap between the vibration area 120 and the fixed area 110, the mop 100 is wide at the front and narrow at the rear along the travel direction. However, as the vibration area 120 of the mop 100 vibrates left and right, the narrow part at the rear will cover the wide part of the wiping area at the front under the action of vibration during the travel of the mop 100. Based on this, as the mop 100 continues to move, the water stains during the travel of the mop 100 will be wiped off, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of the water stains on the surface to be cleaned and improving the cleaning effect.

[0089] In a feasible embodiment, the mopping mechanism 200 also includes: a driving platform 230, the driving platform 230 includes a platform portion 231, a vibrating member 232 and a power portion 233, the support platform 210 is connected to the platform portion 231, the vibrating member 232 is movably connected to the platform portion 231 and is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220, and the power portion 233 is dynamically connected to the vibrating member 232 to drive the vibrating member 232 to reciprocate, thereby driving the cleaning substrate 220 to reciprocate relative to the supporting platform 210.

[0090] In this technical solution, the driving platform 230 is arranged at the bottom of the machine body 310, the platform part 231 can be connected to the machine body 310, the supporting platform 210 is connected to the side of the platform part 231 away from the machine body 310, the vibrating member 232 is opposite to the cleaning substrate 220, and is connected to the power part 233 for power. The power part 233 is used to provide power to drive the vibrating member 232 to reciprocate relative to the platform part 231, and then drive the cleaning substrate 220 to reciprocate relative to the supporting platform 210 through the vibrating member 232, so that the vibration area 120 of the mop 100 installed on the supporting platform 210 and the cleaning substrate 220 vibrates at a high frequency under the action of the cleaning substrate 220 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0091] Specifically, the driving platform 230 also includes a transmission device, which transmits and connects the power unit 233 and the vibrating member 232. The transmission device can be a gear mechanism, an eddy current worm mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, etc., which is not specifically described in the present utility model.

[0092] In a feasible implementation manner, the mopping mechanism 200 further includes:

[0093] The second matching piece 240 is at least arranged on the supporting platform 210. The second matching piece 240 is matched with the first matching piece on the mop 100. The first matching piece and the second matching piece 240 can realize a detachable connection between the fixed area 110 of the mop 100 and the supporting platform 210, making the use of the mop mechanism 200 more convenient.

[0094] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a cleaning device 300 is proposed, comprising: a machine body 310; and a mop 100 as in any of the above technical solutions; or a mop mechanism 200 as in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the mop 100 is movably disposed at the bottom of the machine body 310.

[0095] Since the cleaning device 300 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the mop 100 or the mop mechanism 200 of any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, the cleaning device 300 has all the beneficial effects of the mop 100 or the mop mechanism 200 of any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.

[0096] Furthermore, if Figure 4As shown, the cleaning device 300 may include a machine body 310, a sensing system 320, a control module, a drive system, a cleaning system, an energy system and a human-computer interaction system 330. It is understandable that the cleaning device 300 may be a self-mobile cleaning device 300 or other cleaning devices 300 that meet the requirements. The self-mobile cleaning device 300 is a device that automatically performs cleaning operations in a certain area to be cleaned without user operation. Among them, when the self-mobile cleaning device 300 starts working, the self-mobile cleaning device 300 starts from the base station to perform the cleaning task. When the self-mobile cleaning device 300 completes the cleaning task or other situations where the cleaning task needs to be terminated, the self-mobile cleaning device 300 can return to the base station for charging or other operations.

[0097] like Figure 4 As shown, the machine body 310 includes a forward portion 311 and a rearward portion 312, and has an approximately circular shape with both the front and rear being circular. It may also have other shapes, including but not limited to an approximately D-shaped shape with the front and rear being circular, and a rectangular or square shape with the front and rear being rectangular.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, the perception system 320 includes a position determination device 321 located on the machine body 310, a collision sensor and a proximity sensor arranged on a buffer 322 of the forward part 311 of the machine body 310, a cliff sensor arranged at the lower part of the machine body 310, and a magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, odometer and other sensing devices arranged inside the machine body 310, which are used to provide various position information and motion state information of the machine to the control module. The position determination device 321 includes but is not limited to a camera and a laser distance measuring device LDS, which is the full name of Laser Distance Sensor.

[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, the forward portion 311 of the machine body 310 can carry a buffer 322. During the cleaning process, when the driving wheel module propels the cleaning device 300 to walk on the ground, the buffer 322 detects one or more events in the driving path of the cleaning device 300 via a sensor system arranged thereon, such as an infrared sensor. The cleaning device 300 can control the driving wheel module to respond to the event, such as an obstacle or a wall, detected by the buffer 322, so that the cleaning device 300 can move away from the obstacle.

[0100] The control module is arranged on the circuit board in the machine body 310, and includes a computing processor, such as a central processing unit, an application processor, which communicates with a non-temporary memory, such as a hard disk, a flash memory, and a random access memory. The application processor uses a positioning algorithm, such as SLAM, which is the full name of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, to draw a real-time map of the environment where the cleaning device 300 is located according to the obstacle information fed back by the laser ranging device. In addition, the distance information and speed information fed back by the sensor, cliff sensor, magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, odometer and other sensor devices arranged on the buffer 322 are combined to comprehensively judge the current working state and position of the cleaning device 300, as well as the current posture of the cleaning device 300, such as passing the threshold, being on the carpet, being on the cliff, being stuck above or below, the dust box is full, being picked up, etc., and specific next action strategies are given according to different situations, so that the cleaning device 300 has better cleaning performance and user experience.

[0101] The drive system can manipulate the machine body 310 to travel across the ground based on a drive command with distance and angle information such as x, y and θ components. The drive system includes a drive wheel module, which can control the left and right wheels at the same time. In order to more accurately control the movement of the machine, the drive wheel module preferably includes a left drive wheel module and a right drive wheel module respectively. The left and right drive wheel modules are arranged along the transverse axis defined by the machine body 310. In order for the cleaning device 300 to be able to move more stably or more powerfully on the ground, the cleaning device 300 may include one or more driven wheels, and the driven wheels include but are not limited to universal wheels. The drive wheel module includes a travel wheel and a drive motor and a control circuit for controlling the drive motor, and the drive wheel module can also connect a circuit and an odometer for measuring a driving current. The drive wheel may have a biased drop-down suspension system, which is fastened in a movable manner, such as being attached to the machine body 310 in a rotatable manner, and receiving a spring bias biased downward and away from the machine body 310. The spring bias allows the drive wheel to maintain contact and traction with the ground with a certain ground contact force, while the cleaning elements of the cleaning device 300 also contact the ground with a certain pressure.

[0102] The energy system includes rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries. The rechargeable batteries can be connected to a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit, and a battery undervoltage monitoring circuit, which are then connected to a single-chip microcomputer control circuit. The host is charged by connecting to a charging pile through charging electrodes arranged on the side or bottom of the fuselage.

[0103] like Figure 4As shown, the human-machine interaction system 330 includes buttons on the host panel for users to select functions; it may also include a display screen and / or indicator lights and / or speakers, which display the current state of the machine or function selection items to the user; it may also include a mobile client program. For the path navigation type cleaning device 300, the mobile client can show the user a map of the environment where the device is located, as well as the location of the machine, and can provide the user with more abundant and humanized function items.

[0104] The cleaning system includes a wet cleaning system, that is, the cleaning device 300 may be a mopping robot, or the cleaning system includes a wet cleaning system and a dry cleaning system, that is, the cleaning device 300 may be a sweeping and mopping machine.

[0105] The dry cleaning system may include a roller brush, a dust box, a fan, and an air outlet. The roller brush, which has a certain interference with the ground, sweeps up the garbage on the ground and rolls it to the front of the dust suction port between the roller brush and the dust box, and then the suction gas generated by the fan and passing through the dust box is sucked into the dust box. The dry cleaning system may also include a side brush with a rotating shaft, which is at a certain angle relative to the ground to move debris into the roller brush area of ​​the cleaning system.

[0106] The wet cleaning system may include: a mop mechanism 200, a water supply mechanism, a liquid storage tank, etc. The mop mechanism 200 includes a mop 100, and the cleaning liquid inside the liquid storage tank is transmitted to the mop 100 of the mop mechanism 200 through the water supply mechanism, so that the mop 100 performs wet cleaning on the surface to be cleaned. In other embodiments of the utility model, the cleaning liquid inside the liquid storage tank can also be directly sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned, and the mop 100 of the mop mechanism 200 cleans the surface by evenly applying the cleaning liquid. Specifically, the driving part of the water supply mechanism can be a peristaltic pump or other power mechanism.
