Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning robots, and more specifically, to a mopping mechanism. In addition, the utility model also relates to a cleaning robot comprising the mopping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Current mopping robots on the market typically use a staggered arrangement of the water outlet and the mop cloth when mopping. Water sprays directly onto the floor as it flows, and the mop cloth then moves along the floor. This results in excessive and uneven water flow, preventing the complete removal of any water that has flowed onto the floor during mopping. This can lead to water accumulation, damage to the floor, and even the possibility of slips and falls.

[0003] Furthermore, existing mopping robots move their mops relative to the ground to achieve their cleaning function. When faced with uneven surfaces, they can only actively lift the mop, abandoning cleaning that section to avoid damaging the mop. Therefore, this method has certain limitations in its adaptability to different surfaces.

[0004] In summary, how to provide a mopping mechanism that can avoid excessive water spraying and making cleaning difficult is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The core of the utility model is to provide a mopping mechanism, which allows water to leak directly onto the mop of the mop fixing device through a water leakage device, thereby avoiding direct spraying onto the ground, and effectively avoiding the situation where excessive water spraying makes cleaning difficult.

[0045] Another core of the present invention is to provide a cleaning robot including the above-mentioned mopping mechanism.

[0046] This specific embodiment discloses a mopping mechanism, including a mounting base, a mop fixing device 1100 and a water leakage device, wherein the mop fixing device 1100 is arranged on the mounting base and is used to fix the mop 1102; the water leakage device is provided with a water storage tank 1008a, and the water storage tank 1008a is provided with a water pipe joint 1013 for communicating with a water tank, and a water leakage hole 1008b is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 1008a, and the water leakage hole 1008b is arranged toward the mop fixing device 1100, and the water in the water tank flows through the water pipe joint 1013, the water storage tank 1008a, the water leakage hole 1008b in sequence to the mop 1102.

[0047] It should be noted that, during actual use, the mopping mechanism in this specific embodiment can control the water pipe connector 1013 to be continuously open for a first preset time, then continuously closed for a second preset time, and then continuously open for the first preset time, and so on, according to a pre-set program, to control the amount of water leaking onto the mop 1102.

[0048] Of course, a humidity monitoring sensor can also be provided to monitor the humidity of the mop 1102 in real time. Based on the comparison between the real-time humidity of the mop 1102 and a preset humidity range, the water pipe connector 1013 is opened or closed. Specifically, when the real-time humidity of the mop 1102 is detected to be less than the minimum value of the preset humidity range, the water pipe connector 1013 is opened; when the real-time humidity of the mop 1102 is detected to be greater than the maximum value of the preset humidity range, the water pipe connector 1013 is closed; and when the real-time humidity of the mop 1102 is detected to be within the preset humidity range, the water pipe connector 1013 is maintained in its current state. The specific configuration depends on actual conditions and will not be elaborated on here.

[0049] During actual use, the water in the water tank flows through the water pipe joint 1013, the water storage tank 1008a, the leakage hole 1008b to the mop 1102 in sequence, and leaks onto the mop 1102 of the mop fixing device 1100, avoiding direct spraying onto the ground, which can effectively avoid the situation where too much water is sprayed and difficult to clean; in addition, the water directly leaks into the mop 1102 to fully moisten the mop 1102, avoiding the situation where the mop 1102 is unevenly moistened, and further improving the cleaning effect.

[0050] On the basis of the above embodiment, the water leakage device can include a water leakage plate 1008 and a sealing plate 1007, the water leakage plate 1008 is provided with a water storage tank 1008a, and the water leakage plate 1008 is connected to the mop fixing device 1100; the sealing plate 1007 is arranged on the upper side of the water leakage plate 1008 and is sealed with the water leakage plate 1008; the water pipe joint 1013 is arranged on the sealing plate 1007.

[0051] In this specific embodiment, the opening of the water storage tank 1008a on the water leakage plate 1008 is sealed by the sealing plate 1007 to prevent the water in the water storage tank 1008a from overflowing from the opening.

[0052] A sealing ring may be provided between the sealing plate 1007 and the leaking plate 1008 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0053] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the water storage tank 1008a can be evenly filled with water, multiple water pipe joints 1013 can be set on the sealing plate 1007. The multiple water pipe joints 1013 are all connected to the water tank, and the multiple water pipe joints 1013 are respectively arranged at different positions. Each water pipe joint 1013 is provided with a switch valve for controlling its opening and closing. When multiple water pipe joints 1013 are filled with water at the same time, water can be evenly filled at different positions in the water storage tank 1008a.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of leakage holes 1008b are provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 1008a in the leakage plate 1008, and the plurality of leakage holes 1008b are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1008a. In actual use, after water enters the water storage tank 1008a, due to the small diameter of the leakage holes 1008b, the water cannot be leaked out instantly and will be temporarily stored in the water storage tank 1008a. Since the plurality of leakage holes 1008b are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water storage tank 1008a, the water can be evenly leaked through the leakage holes 1008b to the mop 1102.

[0055] In this specific embodiment, by setting a water tank 1008a on the water leakage plate 1008 and setting a water leakage hole 1008b at the bottom of the water tank 1008a, the water in the water tank 1008a can be evenly leaked to the mop 1102, which is conducive to achieving uniform wetting of the mop 1102 and avoiding uneven wetting of the mop 1102.

[0056] Furthermore, the mop fixing device 1100 can include a mop fixing plate 1101, a mop 1102 is installed on one side of the mop fixing plate 1101, and a plurality of seepage trough holes 1101a are provided on the side of the mop fixing plate 1101 facing away from the mop 1102. The seepage trough holes 1101a are connected to the leakage holes 1008b, and the water in the leakage holes 1008b seeps into the mop 1102 through the seepage trough holes 1101a.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple water seepage slots 1101 a , the length direction of a single water seepage slot 1101 a is along the width direction of the mop fixing plate 1101 , and the multiple water seepage slots 1101 a are evenly distributed along the length direction of the mop fixing plate 1101 .

[0058] Of course, the seepage slot 1101a can also be in other shapes or other settings, which are determined according to actual conditions and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] During actual use, water flows out of the water leakage hole 1008b and seeps into the mop 1102 through the water seepage trough hole 1101a. Since the size of the water leakage hole 1008b is small, the setting of the water seepage trough hole 1101a can increase the contact area between the mop 1102 and the water, making the mop 1102 more evenly moistened.

[0060] In this embodiment, water dripping from leaking hole 1008b is collected within the water dripping slot 1101a, effectively increasing the contact area between mop 1102 and the water, ensuring more uniform wetting of mop 1102. Furthermore, the water dripping from leaking hole 1008b is deep enough to temporarily store a large amount of water, preventing it from flowing onto the ground.

[0061] Furthermore, a water-absorbing member with a water-absorbing effect can be provided in the water-seepage trough hole 1101a. During actual use, after water drops into the water-seepage trough hole 1101a, it will first be absorbed by the water-seepage member. After the water-seepage member absorbs water, when the water-seepage member is saturated with water, it continues to drip water. The moisture at the position where the water-seepage member contacts the mop 1102 will soak the mop 1102. This arrangement can effectively keep the mop 1102 moist for a long time, and even if the water tank is short of water for a short time, the moisture in the water-seepage member will keep the mop 1102 moist, thereby avoiding the situation where the normal use of the mop 1102 is affected by a short period of water shortage.

[0062] Based on the above embodiment, a fitting for securing a mop 1102 can be provided on the mop fixing plate 1101; the mop 1102 can be detachably attached to the mop fixing plate 1101 via the fitting. Specifically, the fitting can be configured as Velcro 1104 or other suitable structure, depending on the actual situation. The mop fixing plate 1101 can be configured as a non-magnetic member 1009.

[0063] One of the drain plate 1008 and the mop fixing device 1100 is provided with a magnetic metal piece, and the other is provided with a magnetic piece 1009 for magnetically attracting the magnetic metal piece; specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the mop fixing device 1100 is provided with an iron block 1103, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the water leakage plate 1008 is provided with a magnetic member 1009. The magnetic member 1009 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, which is determined according to actual conditions.

[0064] In this specific embodiment, the mop fixing device 1100 and the water leakage device are attracted together by magnetism, which is convenient for disassembly and simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps compared to other connection methods.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the mopping mechanism also includes a lifting device, which includes a lifting power component 1003, a lifting fixed plate 1005 and a guide rail 1004; the lifting power component 1003 is installed on the installation base; the lifting power component 1003 has an output end that can be retracted in the vertical direction; one side of the lifting fixed plate 1005 is connected to the mop fixing device 1100, and the side of the lifting fixed plate 1005 facing away from the mop fixing device 1100 is connected to the output end of the lifting power component 1003 to drive the mop fixing device 1100 to rise and fall; the guide rail 1004 is installed on the installation base, and the lifting fixed plate 1005 can be slidably arranged along the guide rail 1004.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting fixed plate 1005 is provided with a connecting bracket 1006 , and the output end of the lifting power member 1003 is connected to the connecting bracket 1006 .

[0067] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the lifting device also includes a guide column 1012 and an elastic member 1011. One of the water leakage device and the lifting and fixing plate 1005 is provided with a guide column 1012, and the other is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide column 1012. One end of the elastic member 1011 abuts against the lifting and fixing plate 1005, and the other end of the elastic member 1011 abuts against the mop fixing device 1100.

[0068] The mounting base includes a mounting back plate 1001 and a mounting frame 1002 fixed to the mounting back plate 1001 . The lifting power component 1003 is mounted on the mounting frame 1002 . The guide rail 1004 is provided on the mounting back plate 1001 .

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic member 1011 can be set as a spring. Of course, the elastic member 1011 can also be set as other structures that meet the requirements. The specific structure is determined according to actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0070] In actual use, when the ground has only small undulations, the mop fixing device 1100 squeezes the water leakage device, which in turn squeezes the elastic member 1011. The elastic member 1011 is compressed, and the guide post 1012 moves along the guide hole, causing the mop fixing device 1100 to move closer to the lifting and fixing plate 1005 to adapt to the undulations. If the ground has larger undulations or obstacles, the lifting power member 1003 can drive the lifting and fixing plate 1005 up and down, allowing the mop fixing device 1100 to adapt to larger undulations.

[0071] The mopping mechanism provided in this specific embodiment can have a certain degree of adaptive adjustment according to the ground conditions, and its ground adaptability is enhanced.

[0072] In addition to the above-mentioned mopping mechanism, the present invention also provides a cleaning robot comprising a water tank and any of the above-mentioned mopping mechanisms disclosed. The water tank is connected to the water pipe joint 1013 of the leakage device. For the structures of other parts of the cleaning robot, please refer to the prior art and will not be repeated herein.

The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. Any combination of all the embodiments provided by this utility model is within the scope of protection of this utility model and will not be described in detail here.

This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention.
