Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and particularly to a cleaning mechanism and a floor washer including the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, the track cloth of a floor washing robot generally consists of a telescopic and deformable bracket and a mop cloth outside. The telescopic and deformable bracket is mainly used to support the mop cloth and facilitate the user to disassemble and assemble the mop cloth. To achieve the telescopic deformation of the bracket, the bracket mainly consists of a reset spring arranged in the middle of the bracket and a linkage double buckle structure arranged at both ends of the bracket along the length direction. However, due to the space limitation of the bracket structure, the buckle size is small, and it is inconvenient to press the buckle for unlocking operation. It is necessary to press and operate with both hands at the same time to achieve unlocking, so as to realize the installation and disassembly of the mop cloth.

[0003] Therefore, the problem of making the replacement of the track cloth more convenient needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

A path for defining the moving directions of the first bracket and the second bracket is provided on the sliding component. Both the elastic structure and the path extend along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the bracket structure. The elastic structure can provide an elastic force for the first bracket and the second bracket to move towards each other on the path, so as to realize the fit between the outer surface of the bracket structure and the track to support the track.

[0006] Preferably, when the first bracket and / or the second bracket move relatively along the extending direction of the sliding component, the gap between the bracket structure and the track can be increased, so that the bracket structure is in a disassembled state.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding component includes a moving rod and a track extending along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the bracket structure. The track forms the path for the moving rod to slide;

[0033] Such as Figures 1-11As shown, a cleaning mechanism 100 is disclosed. The cleaning mechanism 100 includes a bracket structure 110 and a crawler 120 sleeved on the bracket structure 110. The bracket structure 110 includes a first bracket 111 and a second bracket 112 which are oppositely arranged, a sliding component 130 and an elastic structure 140 arranged between the two. A path for defining the moving directions of the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 is provided on the sliding component 130. Both the elastic structure 140 and the path extend along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the bracket structure 110. The elastic structure 140 can provide an elastic force for the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 to move towards each other on the path, so as to realize the fit between the outer surface of the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120 to support the crawler 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, by operating on the bracket structure 110, the radial distance between the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 is changed, and further the gap between the crawler 120 and the bracket structure 110 is changed, so as to realize the disassembly and assembly of the crawler 120 sleeved on the outer surface of the bracket structure 110. After the assembly is completed, by operating on the bracket structure 110 again and using the elastic acting force of the elastic structure 140, the outer surface of the bracket structure 110 can be closely attached to the crawler 120, thus realizing the effective support of the crawler 120.

[0035] Specifically: When the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 move relatively along the extending direction of the sliding component 130, the distance between the two can be reduced to increase the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120, so that the bracket structure 110 is in a disassembled state. Such a design enables the crawler 120 to be easily removed from the bracket structure 110, simplifying the disassembly state of the crawler 120.

[0036] When the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 move towards each other along the extending direction of the sliding component 130, the distance between the two can be increased to reduce the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120, so that the bracket structure 110 is in an assembled state. Such a design enables the outer surface of the bracket structure 110 to be closely attached to the crawler 120, ensuring the stability of the crawler 120 during operation.

[0037] As Figures 5-10 shown, the sliding component 130 includes a positioning block 133 connected to the first bracket 111, a connecting block 134 connected to the second bracket 112, a moving rod 131 and a track 132. Among them, the track 132 is arranged on the positioning block 133 and extends along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the bracket structure 110. The track 132 forms the path for the moving rod 131 to slide. Therefore, one end of the moving rod 131 is embedded in the track 132, and the other end of the moving rod 131 is connected to the connecting block 134.

[0038] Therefore, when the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 move along the extending direction of the track 132, they can drive the moving rod 131 to move in the track 132 to change the distance between the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112, thereby changing the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120.

[0039] So in this embodiment, such a design enables the user to complete the adjustment of the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120 with one hand, simplifies the operation process, and can realize the disassembly and assembly of the crawler 120 without additional tools or complex operation steps. Moreover, through the design of the track 132 and the moving rod 131, the user can stably control the movement of the bracket structure 110, reducing the possibility of misalignment between the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 during the operation.

[0040] As Figures 6-7 and Figure 10 shown, the track 132 further includes a first track 1321 and a second track 1322 that are connected end to end in sequence, and the connection points of the first track 1321 and the second track 1322 are respectively located at both ends of the track 132 in its extending direction, and limiting grooves 1323 are provided at both ends of the track 132 for limiting the moving rod 131.

[0041] The design of the limiting grooves 1323 ensures the precise limitation of the moving rod 131 when it moves to the required position on the track 132, provides a stable fulcrum for the moving rod 131, prevents the moving rod 131 from falling off or moving excessively from the track 132, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the deformation of the operating bracket structure 110. Moreover, the limiting grooves 1323 can also keep the whole cleaning mechanism 100 stable after adjusting the bracket structure 110, reducing the vibration or instability caused by the change of the position of the moving rod 131.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, along the sliding direction of the moving rod 131 in the track 132, the first track 1321 and / or the second track 1322 are downward-sloping ramp structures and a directional step 1324 is provided at the connection point of the first track 1321 and the second track 1322 for limiting the sliding direction of the moving rod 131.

[0043] Through the design of the ramp structure, the magnitude of the force exerted by the user on the bracket structure 110 can be reduced. By simply pressing the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112, the sliding of the moving rod 131 in the track 132 can be achieved. This setting reduces the requirement for operating force and makes single-handed operation easier. At the same time, through the design of the directional step 1324, it is ensured that the moving rod 131 can only slide in the designed direction of the track 132, preventing the reverse movement of the moving rod 131 and ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the moving rod 131. Therefore, the combination of the ramp structure and the directional step 1324 enables the moving rod 131 to be automatically guided during the sliding process, reducing the possibility of operation errors. The user only needs to apply a force to the bracket structure 110, and the internal moving rod 131 can slide along the ramp structure in the set direction of the track 132, thus realizing the deformation of the bracket structure 110.

[0044] In addition, a slope structure 1325 that is smoothly connected to the first track 1321 and / or the second track 1322 is provided on the limit groove 1323 for transitioning the sliding of the moving rod 131. The design of the slope structure 1325 provides a smoothly transitioning interface for the sliding of the moving rod 131 on the track 132, avoiding possible jamming or bouncing when the moving rod 131 switches tracks 132 and ensuring the smoothness of the operation. Moreover, it can also reduce the requirement for operating force during the operation of the user. By simply applying an appropriate force to the bracket structure 110, the moving rod 131 can be pushed into the required track 132, improving the comfort of the operation.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, the extension length of the first track 1321 is greater than that of the second track 1322, and the first track 1321 has a bent portion at a certain angle, while the second track 1322 is in a relatively straight linear form without a bent portion. In other embodiments, the structural form of the track 132 can be set as required to meet the requirement of providing a path for the bracket structure 110 to limit the moving direction of the bracket structure 110.

[0046] As Figure 4 and Figures 7-8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes a limiting member 150 disposed between the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112. The limiting member 150 extends along the extending direction of the path and is two L-shaped bent structures that are mutually hooked for limiting the moving range when the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 move towards each other.

[0047] The design of the limit member 150 ensures that the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 will not exceed a preset range when moving toward each other, which not only ensures the integrity of the track 120 from being damaged by the unlimited movement between the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112, but also ensures that the track 120 can be supported by the support structure 110 to the required extent to meet the cleaning requirements of the cleaning mechanism 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, a limiting position for the movement of the moving rod 131 is formed on the limiting groove 1323, and the limiting position includes a first position for limiting the relative movement of the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112, and a second position for limiting the relative movement of the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112.

[0049] Specifically, when the limiting groove 1323 is in the first position, it is recessed along the extension direction of the track 132 toward the side of the second bracket 112, so that when the moving rod 131 moves to the first position and is located in the limiting groove 1323, it is restricted by the directional step 1324 of the limiting groove 1323 on the side of the first track 1321 and the left and right walls of the second track 1322 extending toward the first bracket 111, so that the moving rod 131 cannot be separated from the limiting groove 1323 without force, thereby achieving the limiting effect on the moving rod 131 in the first position. When the limiting groove 1323 is in the second position, due to the effect of the two hanging limiting members 150, the moving rod 131 cannot continue to move toward the side of the second bracket 112 along the extension direction of the track 132, thereby achieving the limiting effect on the moving rod 131 in the second position.

[0050] Therefore, the specific transformation method of the support structure 110 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] When the track 120 needs to be disassembled, the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 is controlled to move, that is, the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 are pressed to make the two move relative to each other to reduce the distance between them, and the moving rod 131 starts to move from the second position along the extension direction of the first track 1321 and moves to the limiting groove 1323 in the first position after passing through the directional step 1324, so that the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 are fitted together, thereby increasing the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the track 120 to realize the disassembly of the track 120.

[0052] When it is necessary to assemble the crawler 120, that is, to support the crawler 120 using the bracket structure 110, the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 are controlled to move. That is, the first bracket 111 and / or the second bracket 112 are pressed so that the two move towards each other to increase the distance between them. The moving rod 131 starts to move along the extension direction of the second track 1322 from the first position and moves into the limiting groove 1323 in the second position after passing through the orientation step 1324, causing the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 to separate. Thereby, the gap between the bracket structure 110 and the crawler 120 is reduced to realize the assembly of the crawler 120 and the bracket structure 110, and the crawler 120 is supported to meet the cleaning requirements.

[0053] As Figures 1-5 and Figures 8-9 shown, at both ends of the bracket structure 110 along its axis, there are first buckles 160 connected to the body structure. Among them, the first buckle 160 is a U-shaped structure with an opening 161 on one side, and the opening 161 can be compressed. The compression direction of the opening 161 is the same as the installation direction of the cleaning mechanism 100 on the body structure.

[0054] The first buckle 160 in this embodiment replaces the traditional spring. In addition to meeting the elastic deformation requirements of the first buckle 160 to realize the connection between the cleaning mechanism 100 and the body structure, it can also save the number of components on the bracket structure 110, eliminating the cumbersome installation operations and production and installation costs.

[0055] As Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 shown, the bracket structure 110 further includes a cover plate 170 covering the surface of the first bracket 111 facing the sliding component 130. On the cover plate 170, there is a second buckle 171 extending towards the first bracket 111, and at the position of the first bracket 111 corresponding to the second buckle 171, there is a slot 1111 adapted to the second buckle 171 to be used for realizing the connection between the first bracket 111 and the cover plate 170.

[0056] The design of the second buckle 171 and the slot 1111 in this embodiment replaces the traditional screw connection. In addition to meeting the connection between the cover plate 170 and the first bracket 111, it can also save the number of components on the bracket structure 110, eliminating the cumbersome installation operations and production and installation costs.

[0057] In addition, this embodiment also discloses a floor washer, which includes a body structure and the cleaning mechanism 100 described above. The cleaning mechanism 100 is disposed on one side of the body structure facing the ground to clean the ground. Applying this cleaning mechanism 100 to the floor washer not only improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the crawler 120 of the floor washer but also improves the user experience.

[0058] The above description has fully disclosed the specific implementation manners of the present application. It should be noted that any modifications made by those skilled in the art to the specific implementation manners of the present application do not depart from the scope of the claims of the present application.
