[0030] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manner, structure, features, and effects of a cleaning device proposed according to the present utility model as follows.

[0031] As Figures 1-4 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a cleaning device, which can also be referred to as a cleaning robot, an intelligent cleaning device, a mopping machine, etc., and can perform self - moving cleaning without user operation. The cleaning device includes a device main body 100 and a cleaning member 200. The cleaning member 200 is connected to the device main body 100 and is located below the device main body 100 to interfere with the ground. Functional mechanisms such as a moving mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a sensing mechanism are provided on the device main body 100, as well as a controller for controlling the functional mechanisms and a power supply for power supply. The device main body 100 further includes a driver for driving the cleaning member 200 to rotate. The device main body 100 walks through the moving mechanism, drives the cleaning member 200 to follow the device main body 100 to walk, and at the same time drives the cleaning member 200 to rotate to achieve the moving cleaning of the cleaning member 200. The device main body 100 can be of various shapes. For example, the outer contour of the device main body 100 can be flat, such as a flat circle or square. The sensing mechanism can include sensing devices such as a position sensor and an attitude sensor, which are used to provide the position information and attitude information of the device main body 100 to the controller to guide the operation of the moving mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is a dry - type cleaning system, and the dry - type cleaning system includes a roller brush, a dust box, a blower, etc. The roller brush interferes with the ground and sweeps the garbage to the suction port behind the roller brush by rotation. The dust box is located between the blower and the suction port, and the blower sucks back the garbage into the dust box. The number of the cleaning members 200 can be one or more, and the types of the cleaning members 200 can be various. When there are two or more cleaning members 200, the cleaning members 200 can be mops, such as circular, square, or triangular mops. The axis of the mop is vertically arranged, and the mop rotates along its own rotation axis for cleaning. Water outlet 101 discharges water to realize the cleaning of the mop.

[0032] The cleaning device further includes a water tank, and the aforementioned cleaning member 200 and the water tank are part of the wet - type cleaning system of the cleaning device. The water tank can store a cleaning fluid, such as water, a cleaning agent, or other liquids for cleaning. In the following embodiments, for the convenience of description, water is taken as an example. A water replenishing port and an overflow port are provided on the water tank. An external water supply member is used to inject water into the water tank through the water replenishing port. When the water level is higher than the overflow port, or when the water pressure in the water tank is higher than the preset pressure, the water will flow out through the overflow port. The number of the water replenishing port and the overflow port of the water tank can be a single one, or two or more.

[0033] The water outlet 101 is provided on the device main body 100, and the water outlet 101 can be provided on one side of the device main body 100 relative to the cleaning member 200. For example, the housing of the device main body 100 includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and an enclosing wall. The top wall and the bottom wall are correspondingly arranged, the enclosing wall is located between the top wall and the bottom wall and surrounds in a circle, and the cleaning member 200 is located below the bottom wall. The water outlet 101 can be provided on the bottom wall. After the water flows out from the water outlet 101, it will drip onto the cleaning member 200. Or in some other embodiments, the water outlet 101 can be provided on the enclosing wall, and the overflow water will flow through the enclosing wall and then drip onto the cleaning member 200. There are various ways to make the water in the water tank flow to the water outlet 101, which will be described in combination with more specific embodiments below.

[0034] Any cleaning member 200 corresponds to at least one water outlet 101. When there are two or more cleaning members 200, each cleaning member 200 corresponds to at least one water outlet 101. For example, each cleaning member 200 can correspond to only one water outlet 101, or each cleaning member 200 corresponds to two or more water outlets 101 to achieve the cleaning of each cleaning member 200. The correspondence between the cleaning member 200 and the water outlet 101 means that when the cleaning device is in use, the cleaning member 200 and the water outlet 101 have a corresponding relationship in the vertical direction. Or rather, when the cleaning device is in use and the external water supply joint continuously injects water into the water tank, the water will flow out through the overflow port and then flow to the water outlet 101 communicated with the overflow port. The water flowing out from the water outlet 101 will, under the action of gravity, drip or spray onto the cleaning member 200, which can wet the cleaning member 200, cooperate with the base station to clean the cleaning member 200, and achieve the cleaning of the cleaning member 200. In addition, the water outlet 101 is located above the cleaning member 200, which can achieve the wetting of the cleaning member 200 from above the cleaning member 200. Cooperating with the existing infiltration of the cleaning member 200 from below the cleaning member 200 in the base station can avoid the problem of poor cleaning effect caused by insufficient water flow above the cleaning member 200.

[0035] The shape of the water outlet 101 can be various, such as a circular opening, a square opening, a long strip opening, or a mesh opening, etc., which can be set according to the shape of the cleaning member 200 and the water output requirement. The cross-sectional area of the water outlet 101 in the direction close to the cleaning member 200 can be uniform, or the cross-sectional area of the water outlet 101 in the direction close to the cleaning member 200 increases, which can make the water spray out in a jet form, thereby increasing the spraying area and flow rate of the water output, and then increasing the cleaning effect. The water outlet 101 can be an opening extending vertically, or the water outlet 101 can also be an opening extending obliquely.

[0036] The cleaning device and cleaning system proposed by the present utility model are provided with a water outlet corresponding to the cleaning member below the device main body. When the water tank is filled with water, the excess water will overflow, and then the overflow water will flow through the water outlet to the cleaning member, realizing the cleaning of the cleaning member by using the overflow water, making the cleaning of the cleaning member more thorough, and realizing the full utilization of the water overflowing from the water tank.

[0037] In one implementation, the cleaning members 200 correspond one-to-one with the water outlets 101, that is, a single cleaning member 200 only corresponds to one water outlet 101, or in other words, there is one water outlet 101 provided above the cleaning member 200. Or, in another implementation, the cleaning member 200 corresponds to at least two water outlets 101, for example, the cleaning member 200 can correspond to 2, 4, 6 or 8 water outlets 101. For example, in the implementation where the cleaning member 200 is a roller brush as described above, 4 water outlet holes can be arranged along the length direction of the roller brush. In the implementation where the cleaning member 200 is a mop as described above, the cleaning member 200 is used to rotate around the rotating shaft for cleaning, and multiple water outlets 101 can be arranged around the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 200. For example, 6 water outlets 101 can be arranged around the rotating shaft of the mop, so as to provide water for the cleaning member 200 at multiple positions and realize uniform cleaning of the cleaning member 200. Or, the positions of the water outlets 101 can be arranged according to the position and shape of the brush used to brush the cleaning member 200 in the base station, so that the water outlets 101 correspond to the position of the brush, and water can be replenished at the brushing position, which can improve the cleaning effect.

[0038] In one implementation, the cleaning member 200 includes a support frame and a mopping member. The support frame is connected to the device main body 100, the mopping member is arranged on the support frame, and the support frame is provided with a hollow, and the water outlet 101 corresponds to the hollow.

[0039] The mopping member can be a mop, and the mopping member is made of a flexible water-absorbing material, such as non-woven fabric, wool felt or thick fabric with loops. The mopping member is used to contact the ground and clean the ground by means of surface abutment and relative movement. The first end of the support frame is used to connect to the device main body 100, and the second end of the support frame connects and supports the mopping member. In a more specific implementation, the support frame includes a connecting plate and a connecting rod connected to the connecting plate. The connecting plate is a flat disc-shaped structure, and the connecting plate is used to connect and support the mopping member to maintain the shape of the mopping member. The connecting plate can be circular, square, triangular, etc. The connecting rod is arranged on the side of the connecting plate opposite to the mopping member and is usually perpendicular to the connecting plate. The connecting rod is used to connect the device main body 100. For example, the connecting rod can be magnetically connected, clamped, hung, inserted, etc. with the device main body 100. A plurality of hollows are arranged on the connecting plate, and the mopping member at least covers the hollows, and the water outlet 101 corresponds to the hollows. Then, the water overflowing from the water outlet 101 will pass through the hollows and drip onto the mopping member, and then wet the mopping member to assist in the cleaning of the mopping member.

[0040] In one implementation, the cleaning device further includes: a filter element covering the water outlet 101.

[0041] The filter element can be a filter net, filter cotton, etc., such as PP cotton. The filter element is laid at the water outlet 101 to reduce impurities in the water from dripping onto the cleaning member 200.

For example, the water outlet member can be made of soft rubber material and can be deformed by external force. A recess is provided around the outer periphery of the water outlet member. By pressing the water outlet member, the water outlet member passes through the installation hole. After releasing the water outlet member, the edge of the installation hole will be caught in the recess of the water outlet member, thereby fixing the water outlet member. Or, the water outlet member can be magnetically connected, hung, or in interference fit with the device main body 100. The water outlet member can be in various shapes, such as columnar. One end of the water outlet member close to the cleaning member 200 protrudes slightly from the surface of the device main body 100, and the end far from the cleaning member 200 protrudes from the surface of the device main body 100 by a certain length, such as 5 mm, 10 mm, etc., and can be used to connect the hose between the water tank and the water outlet 101. The detachable connection between the water outlet member and the device main body 100 enables the replacement of the water outlet member according to the usage situation. For example, when the water outlet 101 is blocked, or when it is necessary to adjust the size and shape of the water outlet 101, the replacement of the water outlet member can be achieved.

[0044] The water tank can be connected to the outer shell of the device main body 100 in various ways and can be arranged at various positions of the device main body 100. In one implementation, the device main body 100 includes an accommodation space, the water tank is located in the accommodation space, and the water outlet 101 is communicated with the accommodation space.

[0045] The accommodation space serves to protect the water tank and makes the appearance of the cleaning device simple. The water tank can be in various shapes, such as an irregular shape adapted to other functional mechanisms in the accommodation space. The water outlet 101 is communicated with the accommodation space, and then it is communicated with the overflow port of the water tank in the accommodation space.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a connecting pipe. The water tank is communicated with the water outlet 101 through the connecting pipe. The connecting pipe can be a flexible pipe, such as a rubber pipe. The two ends of the flexible pipe are respectively communicated with the overflow port of the water tank and the water outlet 101. Then, the overflow water of the water tank will flow through the flexible pipe to the water outlet 101 and then drip onto the cleaning member 200. In one embodiment, a connecting column can be provided on the device main body 100, the water outlet 101 is opened on the connecting column, and the connecting pipe can be sleeved on the connecting column to achieve communication with the water outlet 101 and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the connecting pipe.
