The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning device provided by the present application. The present application provides a wiping mechanism 100. The wiping mechanism 100 is used to be arranged on the cleaning device 1000 to realize the mopping function of the cleaning device 1000. The cleaning device 1000 includes a main body 200. The main body 200 can serve as a basic carrier of the cleaning device 1000. The main body 200 can be an integrated structure or a combined structure formed by the cooperation of multiple parts. The main body 200 plays a role of bearing and protecting the wiping mechanism 100 and other components of the cleaning device 1000 to ensure the stability of the wiping mechanism 100 and other components after installation.

[0033] The wiping mechanism 100 includes a wiping body 10, a shielding assembly 20 and a driving assembly 30. The wiping body 10 has a wiping surface 11. The shielding assembly 20 is disposed on the main body 200. The shielding assembly 20 is formed with a shielding groove 20a. The driving assembly 30 is disposed on the main body 200 and connected to the wiping body 10. The driving assembly 30 is used to drive the wiping body 10 to move into the shielding groove 20a or move out of the shielding groove 20a to shield or expose the wiping surface 11.

[0034] The cleaning device 1000 also includes a side brush assembly (not shown). The side brush assembly is used to clean areas such as floors and carpets. The wiping body 10 is used to realize the mopping function of the cleaning device 1000 and to wipe the floor. The wiping body 10 is used to wipe the floor before the cleaning device 1000 cleans the floor, before and after the cleaning device 1000 cleans the floor, or during the process of the cleaning device 1000 cleaning the floor. The wiping surface 11 of the wiping body 10 is located on the side of the wiping body 10 facing away from the main body 200. When the cleaning device 1000 is about to run to the carpet, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to move into the shielding groove 20a. At this time, the shielding assembly 20 can shield the wiping surface 11, so that when the cleaning device 1000 runs onto the carpet, the shielding assembly 20 can isolate the wiping surface 11 and the carpet to prevent the carpet from being contaminated by water stains on the wiping surface 11. When the cleaning device 1000 moves from the carpet to the bottom plate, or after the cleaning device 1000 moves from the carpet to the bottom plate, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to move out of the shielding groove 20a to expose the wiping surface 11 to wipe the floor.

[0035] In some embodiments, the wiping surface 11 can be used to install wiping members such as mops, brushes, and sponges. The wiping member can be installed on the wiping surface 11 in a detachable manner, or in an undetachable manner. When the wiping member can be installed on the wiping surface 11 in a detachable manner, the wiping member can be a dry wiping member, and a solution can be sprayed on the dry wiping member before or after the wiping member is installed on the wiping surface 11. Of course, the wiping member can also be a wet wiping member containing a solution, and the solution can be clean water, a liquid containing 84 disinfectant, ethanol, a liquid containing sodium chloride, etc. Of course, the wiping surface 11 can also be a mop, a brush, or a sponge. In this case, there is no need to set up other wiping members separately, and the wiping surface 11 can be directly used to wipe the floor.

[0036] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a first detection component (not shown). The first detection component is used to detect the degree of dirtiness of the wiping member or the wiping surface 11. When the first detection component detects that the degree of dirtiness of the wiping member or the wiping surface 11 reaches a threshold value, the cleaning device 1000 will run to the base station, and the wiping member or the wiping surface 11 will be cleaned by the base station. In other embodiments, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a prompt component (not shown). When the wiping member is detachably mounted on the wiping surface 11, if the first detection component detects that the degree of dirtiness of the wiping member reaches a threshold value, the prompt component sends a prompt message to prompt the user to replace the wiping member. The prompt component can be a display screen, an LED light, a speaker, a vibrator, etc., and the prompt message can be text and pictures output by the display screen; light and flashing emitted by an LED light; sound played by a speaker; vibration generated by a vibrator, etc. The first detection component can be a camera, an ultrasonic detector, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 1000 further includes a processor (not shown) and a second detection component (not shown). The second detection component and the drive mechanism 140 are both connected to the processor. The second detection component is used to detect the road condition of the cleaning device 1000. For example, the second detection component can detect whether there is a carpet within a first preset distance in the forward direction of the cleaning device 1000. If it is detected that there is a carpet within the first preset distance in the forward direction of the cleaning device 1000, it means that the cleaning device 1000 is about to run to the carpet area. Among them, the first preset distance can be the distance between the front end of the running direction of the cleaning device 1000 and the edge of the carpet, and the first preset distance can also be the distance between the edge of the side of the wiping body 10 close to the carpet and the edge of the carpet. When the second detection component detects that the cleaning device 1000 is about to run to the carpet, a signal is sent, and the processor starts the drive component 30 in response to the signal sent by the second detection component to drive the wiping body 10 to move into the shielding groove 20a to shield the wiping surface 11.

[0038] By providing a shielding component 20 with a shielding groove 20a on the wiping mechanism 100, and connecting the wiping body 10 with the driving component 30, the driving component 30 can drive the wiping body 10 to move into the shielding groove 20a, so that when the cleaning device 1000 runs onto the carpet, the shielding component 20 can isolate the wiping surface 11 and the carpet, thereby preventing the carpet from being contaminated by water stains on the wiping surface 11. At the same time, the driving component 30 can also drive the wiping body 10 to move out of the shielding groove 20a to expose the wiping surface so as to wipe the floor, thereby realizing the mopping function of the wiping mechanism 100.

[0039] Please also read Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure in which the wiping body is outside the shielding groove in one embodiment of the cleaning device provided by the present application; Figure 3It is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present application in which a wiping body is located in a shielding groove; Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of a shielding component from one perspective in an embodiment of a cleaning device provided in the present application; Figure 5 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another perspective of a shielding assembly in an embodiment of a cleaning device provided by the present application. The main body 200 has a bottom plate 21, and the shielding assembly 20 includes at least a cover plate 22. The cover plate 22 includes a shielding portion 221 and a connecting portion 222. The shielding portion 221 has a first end 2211 and a second end 2212 that are arranged opposite to each other. The connecting portion 222 is connected between the first end 2211 and the bottom plate 21. A shielding groove 20a is formed between the shielding portion 221 and the bottom plate 21. The shielding portion 221 is used to shield the wiping surface 11.

[0040] Optionally, the bottom plate 21 may be a part of the main body 200. For example, the bottom plate 21 is the bottom wall 205 of the main body 200.

[0041] Optionally, the bottom plate 21 may be a part of the shielding assembly 20. The bottom plate 21 is disposed on the main body 200. The cover plate 22 is disposed on the side of the bottom plate 21 facing away from the main body 200. The bottom plate 21 and the cover plate 22 may be an integrally formed structure, and the bottom plate 21 and the cover plate 22 may be integrally formed by injection molding, milling molding, or 3D printing molding, but is not limited thereto. Of course, the bottom plate 21 and the cover plate 22 may also be a fixed connection structure, and the bottom plate 21 and the cover plate 22 may be fixedly connected together by screw connection, bolt connection, snap connection, magnetic adsorption connection, bonding, or welding, and the connection method between the bottom plate 21 and the cover plate 22 is not limited thereto.

[0042] The shielding assembly 20 can be disposed on the bottom wall 205 of the main body 200. When the wiping mechanism 100 is in a state of wiping the floor, the shielding assembly 20 can be located between the main body 200 and the wiping body 10. The shielding portion 221 is a non-enclosed structure, that is, the first end 2211 and the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221 are not connected. One end of the connecting portion 222 is arranged on the side of the base plate 21 facing away from the main body 200, and the other end is connected to the first end 2211 of the shielding portion 221, so as to fix the shielding portion 221 to the side of the base plate 21 facing away from the main body 200, and make the shielding portion 221 and the base plate 21 spaced apart in the arrangement direction of the top and bottom of the cleaning device 1000, so as to form a shielding groove 20a between the shielding portion 221 and the base plate 21, one end of the wiping body 10 can be moved into the shielding groove 20a from the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221, and the other end of the wiping body 10 can be moved out of the shielding groove 20a from the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, when the wiping body 10 moves into the shielding groove 20a, the shielding portion 221 can shield the wiping surface 11, so that when the cleaning device 1000 runs onto the carpet, the shielding portion 221 is located between the wiping surface 11 and the carpet to isolate the wiping surface 11 and the carpet, thereby preventing the carpet from being contaminated by water stains on the wiping surface 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the wiping body 10 moves into the shielding groove 20a, the vertical projection of the shielding portion 221 on the wiping body 10 falls on the wiping surface 11, the vertical projection of the shielding portion 221 on the wiping body 10 partially falls on the wiping surface 11, or the vertical projection of the shielding portion 221 on the wiping body 10 completely falls on the wiping surface 11. It only needs to be ensured that after the wiping body 10 moves into the shielding groove 20a, when the cleaning device 1000 runs onto the carpet, the wiping surface 11 of the wiping body 10 will not contact the carpet, and the water stains on the wiping surface 11 will not drip onto the carpet. In other words, it only needs to be ensured that the wiping surface 11 of the wiping body 10 will not cause secondary pollution to the carpet.

[0045] In some embodiments, a notch 20b connected to the shielding groove 20a is formed between the second end 2212 and the bottom plate 21. The driving assembly 30 is used to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the first position and the second position or between the second position and the third position. The second position is located at the position where the notch 20b is away from the shielding groove 20a, the first position is located on the side of the second position away from the bottom plate 21, and the third position is located in the shielding groove 20a.

[0046] Specifically, the notch 20b is formed between the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221 and the bottom plate 21. The first position can be the working position of the wiping body 10, that is, when the wiping body 10 is in the first position, the floor can be wiped. The second position is located on the side of the first position close to the bottom plate 21 and opposite to the notch 20b. The third position is located in the shielding groove 20a. The first position and the second position can be located in the arrangement direction of the bottom and top of the cleaning device 1000. The line connecting the first position and the second position can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the bottom and top of the cleaning device 1000. The third position can be located in the circumference of the bottom plate 21.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 21 is formed with a first opening 211, and at least part of the driving assembly 30 passes through the first opening 211 and is connected to the wiping body 10. The driving assembly 30 may be a rotating lifting assembly, and the driving assembly 30 can drive the wiping body 10 to lift and rotate.

[0048] The driving assembly 30 is used to drive the wiping body 10 to move from the first position to the second position and to drive the wiping body 10 to move from the second position to the first position, thereby driving the wiping body 10 to move up and down. The driving assembly 30 is also used to drive the wiping body 10 to move into the third position through the slot 20b and to drive the wiping body 10 to move out from the third position to the second position through the slot 20b when the wiping body 10 moves to the second position. It can be understood that the driving assembly 30 can drive the wiping body 10 to rotate when the wiping body 10 moves up to the second position, so that the wiping body 10 moves into the third position through the slot 20b, and can also drive the wiping body 10 to rotate when the wiping body 10 is in the third position, so that the wiping body 10 moves out from the third position to the second position through the slot 20b, thereby driving the wiping body 10 to rotate.

[0049] When the cleaning device 1000 is about to run to the carpet, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to move from the first position to the second position, and drives the wiping body 10 to rotate when the wiping body 10 moves to the second position, so that the wiping body 10 moves to the third position (blocking groove 20a) through the notch 20b, so that when the cleaning device 1000 runs to the carpet, the blocking portion 221 blocks between the wiping surface 11 and the carpet, and the wiping surface 11 does not contact the carpet, thereby effectively preventing the carpet from being contaminated or wetted by the wiping surface 11. When the cleaning device 1000 runs from the carpet to the floor, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to reverse, so that the wiping body 10 returns from the third position (blocking groove 20a) to the second position, and drives the wiping body 10 to move down from the second position to the first position when the wiping body 10 returns to the second position, so as to wipe the floor.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application drives the wiping body 10 to switch and move between the first position and the second position or between the second position and the third position through the driving component 30, so that the wiping surface 11 can switch and move between the position for wiping the floor and the position for covering the wiping surface 11, thereby reducing the driving components for driving the wiping body 10 to move and reducing the design difficulty of the cleaning device 1000. At the same time, the driving component 30 has a simple structure and high reliability, which effectively improves the movement efficiency and stability of the wiping body 10.

[0051] In the process that the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to move from the first position into the shielding groove 20a, and moves from the shielding groove 20a to the first position, the cleaning device 1000 can keep moving forward, and of course the cleaning device 1000 can also stop moving forward. That is, in the process that the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to move from the first position into the shielding groove 20a, and moves from the shielding groove 20a to the first position, the running wheel 300 of the cleaning device 1000 can keep moving, and of course it can also keep still, and it only needs to ensure that the wiping surface 11 does not contact the carpet.

[0052] In some embodiments, the driving component 30 can also drive the wiping body 10 to vibrate when the wiping body 10 is wiping the floor, so that the wiping body 10 can simulate manual wiping of the floor during the process of wiping the floor, and has the effect of vibrating mopping, making it easier to remove stains stuck on the floor, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 5 The shielding assembly 20 includes a plurality of cover plates 22. A first avoidance gap 223 is formed between two adjacent cover plates 22. In two adjacent cover plates 22, the notch 20b of the shielding groove 20a formed between one cover plate 22 and the bottom plate 21 faces the connecting portion 222 of the other cover plate 22.

[0054] The first avoidance gap 223 is connected to the slot 20b. The wiping mechanism 100 includes a plurality of wiping bodies 10 adapted to the shielding slot 20a and the first avoidance gap 223. The number of wiping bodies 10, the number of cover plates 22, and the number of first avoidance gaps 223 may be equal, and the number of wiping bodies 10, the number of cover plates 22, and the number of first avoidance gaps 223 may be more than two, for example, two, four, five, six, eight, etc., but not limited thereto. Of course, the number of wiping bodies 10, the number of cover plates 22, and the number of first avoidance gaps 223 may also be unequal, as long as the number of cover plates 22 and the number of first avoidance gaps 223 are greater than the number of wiping bodies 10, so as to ensure that each wiping body 10 has a corresponding cover plate 22 for shielding the wiping surface 11 of the wiping body 10.

[0055] The multiple cover plates 22 and the multiple first avoidance gaps 223 can form a circular ring structure, that is, the vertical projections of the multiple cover plates 22 and the multiple first avoidance gaps 223 on the bottom plate 21 are in a circular ring shape. The projection areas of the multiple cover plates 22 on the bottom plate 21 are equal, the projection areas of the multiple first avoidance gaps 223 on the bottom plate 21 are equal, and the projection area of ​​the cover plate 22 on the bottom plate 21 is equal to the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the bottom plate 21, or the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the bottom plate 21 is slightly larger than the projection area of ​​the cover plate 22 on the bottom plate 21, or the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the bottom plate 21 is slightly smaller than the projection area of ​​the cover plate 22 on the bottom plate 21. It should be noted that the first avoidance gap 223 is not a physical structure. Theoretically, there is no projection surface of the first avoidance gap 223 on the base plate 21. In order to better describe the shape of the shielding component and the sizes of multiple cover plates 22 and multiple first avoidance gaps 223, the present application gives the example of a projection surface. It should be understood that when a light beam with a large enough illumination surface vertically illuminates the side of the cover plate 22 facing away from the base plate 21, the shadow area on the base plate 21 is the projection area of ​​the cover plate 22 on the base plate 21, and the area of ​​the reflective surface between two adjacent shadow areas is the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the base plate 21.

[0056] The center of the wiping body 10 may be located on the driving axis of the driving assembly 30. In some embodiments, in the clockwise direction, the connecting portion 222 is located at the front end of the cover plate 22, and the notch 20b is located at the rear end of the cover plate 22. When the wiping body 10 moves to the second position, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate clockwise, and under the action of centrifugal force, one end of the wiping body 10 can move into the shielding groove 20a through the notch 20b; when the wiping body 10 is located in the shielding groove 20a, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and under the action of centrifugal force, the other end of the wiping body 10 can return to the second position through the notch 20b. In some embodiments, in the clockwise direction, the slot 20b is located at the front end of the cover plate 22, and the connecting portion 222 is located at the rear end of the cover plate 22. When the wiping body 10 moves to the second position, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and under the action of centrifugal force, one end of the wiping body 10 can move into the shielding groove 20a through the slot 20b; when the wiping body 10 is located in the shielding groove 20a, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate clockwise, and under the action of centrifugal force, the other end of the wiping body 10 can return to the second position through the slot 20b.

[0057] By making the notch 20b of the shielding groove 20a formed between one of the cover plates 22 and the base plate 21 of two adjacent cover plates 22 face the connecting portion 222 of the other cover plate 22, the driving assembly 30 can simultaneously drive the multiple wiping bodies 10 to rotate in the same direction, so that the multiple wiping bodies 10 are moved to the corresponding shielding grooves 20a or the multiple wiping bodies 10 are returned to the second position, thereby eliminating the need to configure separate driving assemblies 30 for the multiple wiping bodies 10, thereby saving the driving assembly 30, simplifying the structure of the wiping mechanism 100, and reducing the volume and production cost of the wiping mechanism 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second position is located in the first avoidance gap 223 , and the first position is located on a side of the first avoidance gap 223 away from the bottom plate 21 .

[0059] Both the first position and the second position correspond to the first avoidance gap 223 , and the second position is located in the first avoidance gap 223 .

[0060] Specifically, the first position and the second position are both located on the side of the shielding assembly 20 facing away from the main body 200, and both the first position and the second position correspond to the first avoidance gap 223. The line connecting the first position and the second position can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the bottom and the top of the cleaning device 1000, wherein the first position is located below the second position, and the second position is located in the first avoidance gap 223. Since the first avoidance gap 223 is connected to the notch 20b, when the wiping body 10 moves to the first avoidance gap 223, the driving assembly 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate in the direction of the notch 20b, and the wiping body 10 can be moved into the shielding groove 20a.

[0061] When the wiping body 10 moves between the first position and the second position, the vertical projection of the wiping body 10 on the first avoidance gap 223 completely falls on the bottom plate 21, and the projection area of ​​the wiping body 10 on the bottom plate 21 can be equal to the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the bottom plate 21, so that under the premise that the wiping body 10 can be moved into the first avoidance gap 223, the wiping surface 11 of the wiping body 10 is guaranteed to reach the maximum. Of course, the projection area of ​​the wiping body 10 on the bottom plate 21 can also be smaller than the projection area of ​​the first avoidance gap 223 on the bottom plate 21, thereby ensuring that the wiping body 10 will not rub the cover plate 22 during the process of moving to the first avoidance gap 223.

[0062] Please also read Figures 6 to 10 , Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the cleaning device provided by the present application; Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the cleaning device provided by the present application, in which the wiping body is outside the shielding groove; Figure 8is a structural schematic diagram of a wiping body in another embodiment of the cleaning device provided in the present application; Fig. 9 is a structural schematic diagram of a shielding component from one perspective in another embodiment of the cleaning device provided by the present application; Fig.10 It is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective of a shielding component in another embodiment of the cleaning device provided in the present application.

[0063] In some embodiments, the shielding assembly 20 includes a cover plate 22. The distance between the first end 2211 and the bottom plate 21 is smaller than the distance between the second end 2212 and the bottom plate 21. A second avoidance gap 224 is formed between the side of the connecting portion 222 facing away from the shielding groove 20a and the second end 2212, and the second avoidance gap 224 corresponds to the notch 20b.

[0064] The shielding portion 221 is formed with a second opening 2213 corresponding to the first opening 211. The line connecting the center of the first opening 211 and the center of the second opening 2213 may be parallel to the arrangement direction of the bottom and the top of the cleaning device 1000, or an angle is formed between the line connecting the center of the first opening 211 and the center of the second opening 2213 and the arrangement direction of the bottom and the top of the cleaning device 1000. The second opening 2213 allows the driving assembly 30 to pass through, that is, at least part of the driving assembly 30 passes through the first opening 211 and the second opening 2213 in sequence and is connected to the wiping body 10.

[0065] The shielding portion 221 can be in a spiral structure so that the distance between the first end 2211 and the bottom plate 21 is smaller than the distance between the second end 2212 and the bottom plate 21, and the first end 2211 and the second end 2212 are spaced apart to form a second avoidance gap 224 between the side of the connecting portion 222 facing away from the shielding groove 20a and the second end 2212, and the second avoidance gap 224 can be connected to the second opening 2213 and to the shielding groove 20a through the slot 20b, that is, the second opening 2213, the second avoidance gap 224 and the shielding groove 20a are connected in sequence.

[0066] In some embodiments, the wiping body 10 is formed with a notch 12. The wiping body 10 is formed with a notch 12. The wiping body 10 has a first end 13 and a second end 14 that are arranged opposite to each other. The notch 12 is located between the first end 13 and the second end 14. The driving assembly 30 is used to drive the first end 13 to enter the shielding groove 20a from the notch 20b or to drive the second end 14 to move out of the shielding groove 20a from the notch 20b.

[0067] Since the distance between the first end 2211 and the bottom plate 21 is smaller than the distance between the second end 2212 and the bottom plate 21, a second avoidance gap 224 connected to the shielding groove 20a is formed between the side of the connecting portion 222 facing away from the shielding groove 20a and the second end 2212, and a notch 12 is formed on the wiping body 10. Through such a structure, when the wiping body 10 moves to the second position, the first end 13 of the wiping body 10 is located on the side of the first end 2211 of the shielding portion 221 that is away from the shielding groove 20a or is located in the second avoidance gap 224, and the second end 14 of the wiping body 10 is located on the side of the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221 that is away from the shielding groove 20a, and the notch 12 of the wiping body 10 corresponds to the slot 20b. At this time, if the driving component 30 drives the wiping body 10 to rotate toward the slot 20b, the first end 13 of the wiping body 10 can first enter the shielding groove 20a through the slot 20b and move into the shielding groove 20a, and move along the shielding portion 221 to the second end 2212 of the shielding portion 221 until the second end 14 of the wiping body 10 also enters the shielding groove 20a, and the driving component 30 stops driving. The driving assembly 30 can also be reversed to drive the second end 14 to first move out of the shielding groove 20a through the slot 20b. At the same time, the wiping body 10 can move out of the shielding groove 20a in the opposite direction of the trajectory of the first end 13 of the wiping body 10 moving into the shielding groove 20a and return to the second position.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shielding assembly 20 further includes a limiting plate 23 . The limiting plate 23 is disposed on at least one side of the extending direction of the shielding portion 221 and extends toward the bottom plate 21 .

[0069] Specifically, the limiting plate 23 can be disposed on the periphery of the shielding portion 221 close to the second opening 2213 and / or on the periphery of the shielding portion 221 away from the second opening 2213 , and extend toward the bottom plate 21 .

[0070] Optionally, the shielding assembly 20 includes a limiting plate 23 , which is disposed at a periphery of the shielding portion 221 close to the second opening 2213 or at a periphery of the shielding portion 221 away from the second opening 2213 .

[0071] Optionally, the shielding assembly 20 includes two limiting plates 23 , wherein one limiting plate 23 is disposed at a periphery of the shielding portion 221 close to the second opening 2213 , and the other limiting plate 23 is disposed at a periphery of the shielding portion 221 away from the second opening 2213 .

[0072] The limiting plate 23 can limit the wiping body 10 in the process of entering and moving out of the shielding groove 20a, preventing the wiping body 10 from passing through the gap between the bottom plate 21 and the shielding portion 221, which would cause the wiping body 10 to interfere with other components. On the one hand, it can prevent the wiping body 10 from being worn out with other components, and on the other hand, it can also reduce noise, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] The wiping body 10 and the shielding assembly 20 have a simple structure, which makes the wiping body 10 and the shielding assembly 20 easier to adapt, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the wiping body 10 and the shielding assembly 20. During the assembly process of the cleaning device 1000, it is only necessary to set the shielding assembly 20 on the main body 200, and connect the driving assembly 30 to the wiping body 10 through the first opening 211 and the second opening 2213. This not only simplifies the types and quantities of parts, but also reduces the assembly difficulty during the assembly process of the cleaning device 1000, saves working hours, and improves production efficiency.

[0074] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 30 includes a driving member (not shown) and a lifting member 31. The driving member is used to be arranged on the main body 200. One end of the lifting member 31 is connected to the driving member in a transmission manner, and the other end is connected to the wiping body 10. The driving member is used to drive the lifting member 31 to rise or fall or rotate.

[0075] In some embodiments, the lifting member 31 may be a lifting rod, and the driving member directly drives the lifting member 31 to rise and fall and rotate, so as to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the first position and the second position or between the second position and the third position.

[0076] The driving assembly 30 may further include a reset member 32. The driving member drives the lifting member 31 to move downward to drive the wiping body 10 to move downward from the second position to the first position. In the process of the wiping body 10 moving downward from the second position to the first position, the reset member 32 is stretched to store the restoring force toward the second position; when the cleaning device 1000 is about to run to the carpet, the driving member drives the reset member 32 to reset to drive the wiping body 10 to move upward from the first position to the second position; when the wiping body 10 moves upward to the second position, the driving member drives the lifting member 31 to rotate to drive the wiping body 10 to move into the shielding groove 20a; the driving member can also drive the lifting member 31 to reverse to drive the wiping body 10 to move from the shielding groove 20a to the second position.

[0077] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 30 may also be a rotating member, which is disposed at one end of the lifting member 31 away from the driving member and connects the driving member and the wiping body 10. The driving member can drive the lifting member 31 to rise and fall, so as to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the first position and the second position; and can also drive the rotating member to rotate, so as to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the second position and the third position. The rotating member may be a bearing or a coil spring, but is not limited thereto.

[0078] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 30 may be a ball screw. The ball screw can convert rotary motion into linear motion, thereby driving the lifting member 31 to move up and down, so as to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the first position and the second position. The ball screw can also convert linear motion into rotary motion, thereby driving the lifting member 31 to rotate, so as to drive the wiping body 10 to switch between the second position and the third position.

[0080] The cleaning device 1000 further includes two running wheels 300. The two running wheels 300 are disposed on the bottom wall 205 of the main body 200 and are disposed correspondingly in the first direction XX. Among the two running wheels, one running wheel 300 is disposed close to the first side wall 201, and the other running wheel 300 is disposed close to the second side wall 202. The running wheels 300 are used to realize the walking function of the cleaning device 1000.
