Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sweeping machines, and in particular to a cleaning component of a sweeping machine, a sweeping machine base station, and a sweeping machine assembly. Background Art

[0002] With the increase in cleaning needs, sweeping machines have developed into a form with a base station. The base station can be used as a cleaning appliance to realize functions such as cleaning mops, drying mops, dust collection and water replenishment. Among them, the cleaning disc, as a module for cleaning mops, still lacks self-cleaning ability, especially after long-term use, dirt accumulates in the cleaning disc, which greatly affects the appearance and user experience.

[0003] In the related art, there are two ways to handle the base station cleaning plate: manual and automatic. The manual method is to use a brush to scrub the dirt in the cleaning plate when the sweeping robot is not in place, and then the base station pumps water to suck away the dirty water; the automatic method uses ultrasonic waves to vibrate at high frequencies in the cleaning plate to remove dirt. However, the manual method requires the user to contact the dirt, has a low level of intelligence, and has a poor user experience; the ultrasonic method has a high design cost, is difficult to maintain, and also generates vibration noise.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "inside" and "outside", are defined for the contours of the corresponding components themselves, and "front" and "rear" are defined according to the direction of the sweeping robot entering and exiting the base station, with the direction of exiting the base station being the front and the direction of entering the base station being the rear. Figure 3 The drawing direction, Figure 3 The left side is the back, the right side is the front, and "up, down, top, and bottom" are defined according to the direction in which the sweeper is used. For details, please refer to Figure 3 Up and down in the drawing direction.

[0036] In a first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a cleaning assembly of a sweeping robot is provided, which is used to clean the mop of the sweeping robot. Figure 1 The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning tray 1, a cleaning element 2 and a flushing element 3. The cleaning tray 1 is used to hold cleaning liquid. The cleaning element 2 is arranged in the cleaning tray 1 and is used to clean the floor cleaning element 5 of the sweeping robot, for example, to clean a mop. Figure 1 As shown, the floor cleaning element 5 can be configured in a disk shape.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The flushing member 3 is arranged in the cleaning tray 1, and a cavity 31 is formed inside the flushing member 3, and the cavity 31 has a liquid inlet 311. A flushing channel 32 connected to the cavity 31 is formed on the wall of the flushing member 3, so that the liquid in the cavity 31 is ejected from the flushing channel 32 to flush the cleaning tray 1. The liquid can enter the cavity 31 from the liquid inlet 311, and then can be ejected through the flushing channel 32, and the ejected water flow can flush the cleaning tray 1. Among them, the arrangement direction of the flushing channel 32 can be adaptively designed according to the position to be flushed. For example, when the flushing channel 32 is further downward and close to the bottom of the cleaning tray 1, the axial direction of the flushing channel 32 can be parallel to the bottom surface of the cleaning tray 1. When the flushing channel 32 is further up and far away from the bottom of the cleaning tray 1, the flushing channel 32 can be arranged to be inclined to ensure that each position of the cleaning tray 1 is flushed as much as possible.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, the flushing channel 32 of the flushing member 3 can be used to clean the dirt or dirt in the cleaning plate 1, and the large dirt accumulated in the cleaning plate 1 can be dispersed by flushing, and the sewage can be connected and discharged together to achieve self-cleaning of the cleaning component. This cleaning component improves the intelligence and maintenance-free capability of the sweeping robot base station, and has a low design cost and avoids noise that affects the user experience.

[0039] Furthermore, the liquid inlet 311 may be provided with a filter structure 33 to filter the liquid entering the cavity 31 to avoid clogging and flushing the flow channel 32. The filter structure 33 may be a filter screen.

[0040] In order to ensure that the liquid in the cavity 31 can be ejected out of the cavity 31 in the form of a jet to achieve a flushing effect, in one embodiment, the cavity 31 can be configured such that the cross-sectional area gradually decreases in a direction away from the liquid inlet 311, that is, the cross-sectional area at the liquid inlet 311 is larger, and in the flow direction of the liquid, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cavity 31 becomes smaller and smaller, so that the liquid pressure in the cavity 31 at a distance increases, thereby improving the ejection force.

[0041] The jet injection of the liquid can also be ensured by means of height difference. For example, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 3, the liquid inlet 311 can be set higher than the cavity 31, so that the gravity of the liquid entering the liquid inlet 311 will drive the flow of the liquid in the cavity 31, so that the liquid is ejected from the flushing channel 32 to ensure the flushing effect. In this embodiment, a protruding column protruding upward can be formed on the flushing member 3, the liquid inlet 311 can be formed at the top of the protruding column, and the flushing channel 32 can be located at the bottom of the protruding column.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for ensuring the jet may be one of the above-mentioned cross-sectional area change and setting the height difference, or both. In this case, the liquid inlet 311 may be set at the end of the cavity 31 with a larger cross-sectional area.

[0043] To ensure the flushing range, refer to Figure 4 The number of flushing channels 32 can be multiple, and multiple flushing channels 32 can be arranged in the circumferential direction of the flushing member 3 to flush in the circumferential direction of the flushing member 3. The circumferential direction here is defined according to the bottom of the cleaning plate 1, that is, Figure 4 The circumferential direction of the drawing does not refer to any peripheral direction of the flushing member 3. The arrangement of the flushing channel 32 in the circumferential direction can be adjusted according to the actual structure of the flushing member 3. For example, Figure 4 In the embodiment, since the flushing member 3 is arranged to be thinner in the lower right portion in order to adapt to other structures, it is difficult to arrange the flushing channel 32 at this position. However, it can be understood that when the thickness of the flushing member 3 meets the requirements, the flushing channel 32 can be arranged to the position to which the flushing member 3 extends.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The flushing channel 32 can be configured to protrude outward from the outer wall of the flushing member 3, and the protruding portion can provide a guide for the ejection direction of the jet, so that the jet can be ejected in a preset direction, thereby playing a flushing role.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the flushing member 3 and the cleaning plate 1 can be arranged in a close fit to ensure that there is no gap between the flushing member 3 and the cleaning plate 1, so as to prevent dirt from being trapped in the gap between the two and being difficult to remove or disperse. For example, in one embodiment, the flushing member 3 can be arranged in a close fit with the bottom of the cleaning plate 1. In other embodiments, the flushing member 3 can also be arranged in a close fit on the circumferential side wall of the cleaning plate 1, which is not limited here.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The flushing member 3 can be disposed at the bottom of the cleaning member 2 and can be configured to be fully covered by the cleaning member 2. Figure 2As shown, in a top view, the flushing member 3 can be completely blocked, so that the arrangement of the flushing member 3 will not greatly affect the original layout of the cleaning assembly, and will not interfere with the cleaning process of the floor cleaning member 5. Moreover, the flushing member 3 is directly arranged at the bottom of the cleaning member 2, which can flush the dirt deposited downward from the cleaning member 2, and prevent the dirt from accumulating at the edge of the cleaning member 2 that is difficult to remove.

[0047] Among them, refer to Figure 1 , the flushing member 3 can be constructed in the same shape as the cleaning member 2. In this way, flushing can be performed at various positions of the cleaning member 2, further avoiding the accumulation of dirt. For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the flushing member 3 and the cleaning member 2 can both be constructed in a Y-shape, and the angles between the branches of the Y-shape can be the same.

[0048] In the disclosed embodiment, the cleaning component 2 and the flushing component 3 may be an integrated structure, or may be a separate structure.

[0049] For example, when it is a split structure, the flushing member 3 can be detachably mounted on the bottom of the cleaning member 2. In this way, when the flushing member 3 or the cleaning member 2 needs maintenance, only one of them needs to be changed, which reduces the maintenance cost. Thus, adaptive replacement can be achieved for different types of sweeper chassis. In addition, the split structure is easier to form than the integrated structure, saving manufacturing costs. The flushing member 3 and the cleaning member 2 can be connected by a snap connection or a screw connection.

[0050] Specifically, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom of the cleaning part 2 may be provided with a receiving cavity 21 for receiving the flushing part 3, so that the flushing part 3 can be hidden in the cleaning part 2, and the side wall of the receiving cavity 21 may also play a shielding role to prevent dirt from entering between the cleaning part 2 and the flushing part 3. A notch 22 may be formed on the side wall of the receiving cavity 21 for the flushing channel 32 to pass to the outside of the receiving cavity 21 so as to spray the liquid outward. The notch 22 may be a hole structure adapted to each flushing channel 32, or may be a hole structure such as Figure 5 As shown, a groove structure is formed on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 21, and its width can be adapted to multiple flushing channels 32. In other embodiments, the accommodating cavity 21 itself can be configured as the cavity 31 of the flushing member 3, and the flushing channels 32 can be formed on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0051] Furthermore, a clamping portion 211 may be formed on the accommodating chamber 21, and the flushing member 3 may be clamped to the clamping portion 211. The clamping portion 211 may be formed in the middle area of ​​the cleaning member 2 to ensure a stable clamping effect. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the flushing member 3 is disposed at the bottom of the cleaning member 2, and the flushing member 3 may fit with the bottom of the cleaning plate 1, so the connection structure between the flushing member 3 and the cleaning member 2 may not need to be disposed too much or may be omitted. For example, the flushing member 3 may be disposed only in the accommodating chamber 21, and the flushing member 3 may be limited by matching the size of the accommodating chamber 21 with the flushing member 3.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cleaning element 2 may have a liquid inlet channel 23, and the liquid in the liquid inlet channel 23 can flow to the surface of the cleaning element 2, thereby cleaning the floor cleaning element 5. The liquid inlet 311 may be formed on the liquid inlet channel 23, so that the liquid inlet 311 can be fed with liquid together with the liquid inlet channel 23, avoiding redundant liquid inlet structure arrangement.

[0053] Furthermore, the cleaning component may include a liquid inlet pipe 4 for feeding liquid into the liquid inlet channel 23, and the liquid inlet port 311 may be arranged directly below the liquid inlet pipe 4 to ensure that the liquid can efficiently enter the cavity 31. However, in order to prevent the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 4 from flowing into the liquid inlet port 311, resulting in insufficient liquid flowing to the cleaning component 2, the liquid inlet port 311 may be spaced from the liquid inlet pipe 4, so that the falling liquid can flow into the cavity 31 and the cleaning component 2 respectively.

[0054] The cleaning member 2 may have a liquid inlet end for liquid input, that is, one end of the liquid inlet channel 23, and the cleaning member 2 may be constructed to be gradually lowered from the liquid inlet end to the end away from the liquid inlet end. Figure 3 , the cleaning element 2 gradually lowers from left to right, so that the water at one end of the liquid inlet channel 23 will flow downward, so that the liquid can flow on the cleaning element 2 to flush the floor cleaning element 5. The thinner thickness of the flushing element 3 mentioned above is to adapt to the height gradient structure of the cleaning element 2.

[0055] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sweeper base station is provided, which includes the above-mentioned cleaning component and thus has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned cleaning component, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sweeping machine assembly is provided, comprising a sweeping robot and the above-mentioned sweeping machine base station, and having all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned sweeping machine base station.

The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed in the present disclosure.
