Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of floor sweepers, in particular to a water-dust integrated box of a floor sweeper and the floor sweeper. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of smart home and automatic cleaning, the floor sweeping robot, as an important tool to improve the quality of life, the continuous optimization of its design and function has always been the focus of the industry. Traditional floor sweeping robots usually install the water tank and the dust collection box as two independent components on the machine. Although this design meets the basic cleaning needs to a certain extent, in the actual use process, after each cleaning of the floor sweeping robot, users generally disassemble the water tank and the dust collection box to perform operations such as adding water, emptying dust, and cleaning, in order to facilitate the subsequent use of the floor sweeping robot. Therefore, if the dust collection box and the water tank are set as an integrated structure, it will be more convenient for users to use the floor sweeping robot. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above technical problems, and provide a water-dust integrated box of a floor sweeper and the floor sweeper. This application aims to provide an integrated structure of the water tank and the dust collection box of the floor sweeper.

[0004] A water-dust integrated box of a floor sweeper includes a box body, a filtering device, an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate. The box body is integrally formed and has an upper open cavity and a lower open cavity formed on its upper and lower sides respectively. The upper cover plate is hermetically covered on the box body corresponding to the upper open cavity to form a dust collection cavity. The box body is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the dust collection cavity. The filtering device is installed in the dust collection cavity between the air inlet and the air outlet. The upper cover plate includes a hinged part, and the hinged part can be opened or closed relative to the box body. The lower cover plate is hermetically covered on the box body corresponding to the lower open cavity to form a water storage cavity. The box body is provided with a water storage port communicating with the water storage cavity, and the lower cover plate is provided with a water outlet communicating with the storage cavity.

[0005] According to the water-dust integrated box of the floor sweeper of this application, the integrally formed box body and the upper and lower cover plates cooperate to form independent dust collection cavity and water storage cavity, so that the dust collection cavity and the water storage cavity are naturally separated. Therefore, there is no need to set a sealing structure between the dust collection cavity and the water storage cavity. Dust and other garbage swept by the floor sweeper can be sucked in through the air inlet, and the garbage and air are separated by the filtering device, so that the garbage is stored in the dust collection cavity, and the air is discharged through the air outlet. The water storage cavity is filled with water through the water storage port and discharges water through the water outlet, so that the floor sweeper can also mop the floor during the process of sweeping the floor.

[0006] Further, the dust collection chamber includes an inlet area and an outlet area. The air inlet is provided on the box body on one side of the inlet area, and the air outlet is provided on the box body on one side of the outlet area. Due to the size limitation of the floor sweeper, in order to avoid the air outlet affecting the dust collection capacity of the dust collection chamber, the dust collection chamber is divided into two inlet areas and an outlet area, so that the inlet area can be specifically used for dust collection, and the outlet area is specifically used for air outlet, making the spatial distribution of the dust collection chamber easier to design.

[0007] Still further, the size of the inlet area is larger than that of the outlet area, and the filtering device is installed in the inlet area.

[0008] Still further, the upper cover plate further includes a fixed part that covers the outlet area, and the hinged part covers the inlet area. The filtering device can be conveniently disassembled and the garbage in the inlet area can be cleaned by opening the hinged part.

[0009] Still further, a support step is provided on the side wall of the box body at the position corresponding to the inlet area, a pressing plate is provided on the hinged part, the lower side of the filtering device abuts against the support step, and the upper side abuts against the pressing plate. The filtering device is restricted from all directions by the side wall, the support step and the pressing plate to prevent the filtering device from shaking in the inlet area.

[0010] Still further, one side of the hinged part is hingedly installed on the fixed part, and the other side is hingedly installed on the box body at the top of the lower opening cavity body.

[0011] Still further, the water storage chamber includes an extending area that extends below the outlet area, and a water outlet is provided at the position of the lower cover plate corresponding to the extending area. The provision of the extending area can avoid a single position of the water outlet of the water storage chamber, facilitate water outlet from multiple positions, and enable the mop of the floor sweeper to be wetted more evenly.

[0012] Still further, a soft rubber baffle is provided on the air inlet. The soft rubber baffle can be opened automatically under the drive of the wind force, and after the floor sweeper stops working, the soft rubber baffle will close the air inlet under the action of its own elastic force, thereby preventing the garbage in the dust collection chamber from pouring out from the air inlet after the floor sweeper stops working.

[0013] A floor sweeper using the water-dust integrated box of the above floor sweeper further includes a floor sweeper main body and a handle. An installation groove is provided on the floor sweeper main body. The handle is hingedly installed on the water-dust integrated box. The water-dust integrated box is installed in the installation groove, and the handle can be rotated to a position where it is received in the installation groove, so that the handle is at least flush with the top surface of the installation groove.

[0014] According to the floor sweeper of the present application, the water-dust integrated box can be conveniently installed or disassembled from the installation groove through the handle.

[0015] Further, a limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the installation groove, and a limiting block extends outward from the handle. The limiting block rotates with the handle. When the handle is received in the installation groove, the limiting block rotates into the limiting groove, and when the handle is lifted, the limiting block rotates out of the limiting groove. Through the action linkage between the limiting block and the handle, an installation limiting structure for the water and dust integrated box is formed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The water and dust integrated box of a sweeper and the sweeper of the present utility model are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Such as Figures 1 to 5A water-dust integrated box of a floor sweeper as shown, comprising a box body 1, a filtering device 2, an upper cover plate 3 and a lower cover plate 4. The box body 1 is integrally formed and has an upper open cavity and a lower open cavity formed on its upper and lower sides respectively. Since the box body 1 is integrally formed, such as by an integral molding process like injection molding, the formed upper open cavity and lower open cavity are separated by the box body 1. The upper cover plate 3 is hermetically covered on the box body 1 corresponding to the upper open cavity to form a dust collection cavity 11. The box body 1 is provided with an air inlet 113 and an air outlet 114 communicating with the dust collection cavity 11. The filtering device 2 is installed in the dust collection cavity 11 between the air inlet 113 and the air outlet 114. The upper cover plate 3 includes a hinged part 31. Dust and other garbage swept into by the floor sweeper can be sucked in through the air inlet 113, and the garbage and air are separated by the filtering device 2, so that the garbage is stored in the dust collection cavity 11, and the air is discharged through the air outlet 114. The hinged part 31 can be opened or closed relative to the box body 1, and the hinged part 31 and the box body 1 are buckled through a buckle structure, which is convenient for users to clean the garbage in the opened dust collection cavity 11. The lower cover plate 4 is hermetically covered on the box body 1 corresponding to the lower open cavity to form a water storage cavity 12. The integrally formed box body 1 and the upper and lower cover plates cooperate to form independent dust collection cavity 11 and water storage cavity 12, so that the dust collection cavity 11 and the water storage cavity 12 are naturally separated. Therefore, there is no need to set a sealing structure between the dust collection cavity 11 and the water storage cavity 12. The box body 1 is provided with a water inlet 123 communicating with the water storage cavity 12, and the lower cover plate 4 is provided with a water outlet 124 communicating with the water storage cavity 12. The water storage cavity 12 is filled through the water inlet 123 and discharges water through the water outlet 124, so that the floor sweeper can also mop the floor during the process of sweeping the floor.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, the dust collection cavity 11 includes an inlet area 111 and an outlet area 112. The size of the inlet area 111 is larger than that of the outlet area 112. The filtering device 2 is installed in the inlet area 111. The inlet area 111 and the outlet area 112 are connected in an L shape in the figure. The air inlet 113 is arranged on the box body 1 on one side of the inlet area 111, and the air outlet 114 is arranged on the box body 1 on one side of the outlet area 112. Due to the size limitation of the floor sweeper, if the air outlet 114 is arranged on the box body 1 corresponding to the inlet area 111, it will inevitably affect the space for the dust collection cavity 11 to collect garbage due to the installation of the filtering device 2. Therefore, in order to avoid the air outlet 114 affecting the size of dust collection in the dust collection cavity 11, the dust collection cavity 11 is divided into two inlet areas 111 and outlet areas 112, so that the inlet area 111 can be specifically used for dust collection, and the outlet area 112 is specifically used for air outlet, making the spatial distribution of the dust collection cavity 11 easier to design.

[0024] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a support step 13 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1 corresponding to the position of the inlet area 111. A pressing plate 311 is provided on the hinge part 31. The lower side of the filtering device 2 abuts against the support step 13, and the upper side abuts against the pressing plate 311. The side wall, the support step 13, and the pressing plate 311 limit the filtering device 2 from all directions, preventing the filtering device 2 from shaking in the inlet area 111. In addition, the filtering device 2 may also extend upward with a plate body 21, and the plate body 21 abuts against the hinge part 31, so that the filtering device 2 is more stably fixed in the inlet area 111.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, the upper cover plate 3 is also correspondingly divided into two parts corresponding to the dust collection chamber 11. The upper cover plate 3 further includes a fixing part 32. The fixing part 32 covers the outlet area 112, and the hinge part 31 covers the inlet area 111.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, one side of the hinge part 31 is hingedly installed on the fixing part 32, and the other side is hingedly installed on the box body 1 at the top of the lower opening cavity. In addition, the water storage port 123 is also provided on the box body 1 at the top of the lower opening cavity.

[0027] The water storage chamber 12 includes a main water storage area 122 and an extension area 121. The extension area 121 extends to the lower part of the outlet area 112. The lower cover plate 4 is provided with a water outlet 124 corresponding to the position of the extension area 121, and a water outlet 124 is also provided corresponding to the main water storage area 122. The setting of the extension area 121 can avoid the single position of the water outlet 124 of the water storage chamber 12, facilitate water discharge from multiple positions, and enable the mop of the floor sweeper to be wetted more evenly.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, a soft rubber baffle 14 is provided on the air inlet 113. The soft rubber baffle 14 can be opened automatically under the drive of the wind force, and after the floor sweeper stops working, the soft rubber baffle 14 will close the air inlet 113 under the action of its own elastic force, thus preventing the garbage in the dust collection chamber 11 from pouring out from the air inlet 113 after the floor sweeper stops working.

[0029] A floor sweeper using the water-dust integrated box of the above floor sweeper further includes a floor sweeper main body 6 and a handle 5. An installation groove 61 is provided on the floor sweeper main body. The handle 5 is hingedly installed on the water-dust integrated box. The water-dust integrated box is installed in the installation groove 61, and the handle 5 can be rotated to a position where it is received in the installation groove 61, so that the handle 5 is at least flush with the top surface of the installation groove 61.

[0030] A limiting groove 611 is provided on the side wall of the installation groove 61. The handle 5 extends outward with a limiting block 51. The limiting block 51 is an eccentric shaft body extending from the hinge shaft of the handle 5. The limiting block 51 rotates with the handle 5. When the handle 5 is received into the installation groove 61, the limiting block 51 rotates into the limiting groove 611. When the handle 5 is lifted, the limiting block 51 rotates out of the limiting groove 611. When the user disassembles or installs the water and dust integrated box, a force will be applied through the handle 5 to facilitate the operation. For example, when disassembling, the handle 5 will be rotated first so that the handle 5 can be lifted, and the limiting block 51 also rotates with the handle 5. When the handle 5 rotates to a vertical or nearly vertical position, the limiting block 51 can be rotated out of the limiting groove 611. Conversely, the rotating block is rotated into the limiting groove 611. Through the action linkage of the limiting block 51 and the handle 5, an installation limiting structure for the water and dust integrated box is formed.

[0031] According to the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can also make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.
