Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a cleaning device with a guide auxiliary structure. Background Art

[0002] In the field of cleaning operations, especially high-precision cleaning tasks involving large surfaces such as floors and glass curtain walls, the design of the travel mechanisms of traditional cleaning equipment often faces numerous challenges. Existing cleaning equipment relies on simple wheeled or tracked structures. These structures maintain basic mobility on dry, flat surfaces, but their stability and guidance are significantly reduced in slippery, uneven, or complex working environments.

[0003] Specifically, traditional cleaning devices lack effective guiding auxiliary mechanisms, which makes the walking mechanism of traditional cleaning devices very prone to turning and slipping under slippery conditions due to the reduced friction between the cleaning surface and the cleaning surface, making it difficult for the equipment to move accurately along the predetermined path. In complex environments, it is easy to deviate from the cleaning target area, thereby destroying the continuity and efficiency of cleaning. It not only increases the difficulty of cleaning, but also easily leads to uneven cleaning quality, making it difficult to meet high cleaning standards.

[0004] What’s more serious is that the guiding instability of the walking mechanism can easily lead to a series of safety hazards. For example, when moving at high speed or performing delicate operations, the equipment may suddenly slip, lose control, overturn or fall, which not only directly threatens people’s lives, but may also cause serious physical damage to the surrounding environment and expensive cleaning objects, resulting in large economic losses.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 7 , an embodiment of the utility model provides a cleaning device with a guide auxiliary structure, comprising:

[0048] The housing frame 10 is installed as the supporting base of the whole structure to ensure that all components are firmly installed.

[0049] The vacuum adsorption component 20 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 and is used to generate negative pressure adsorption force.

[0050] The guide roller 32 is movably mounted on the side of the mounting frame 10 away from the vacuum adsorption component 20. The guide roller 32 can rotate 360 degrees and adjust its direction during rolling to play a stable guiding role, thereby preventing the device from turning and slipping in a slippery working environment and ensuring that the device moves stably along the predetermined path.

[0051] The driving track members 40 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the adsorption end of the vacuum adsorption component 20 and are installed on the mounting frame 10 to serve as a walking power source and provide strong traction.

[0052] The rotating wipers 50 are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 10 and are arranged on both sides of the guide roller 32. They efficiently wipe the cleaning surface through rotational motion, effectively breaking down stubborn stains. At the same time, the guide roller 32 acts as a balancing fulcrum to balance the torque deviation between the two rotating wipers 50, further improving the guiding stability. The two rotating wipers 50 rotate in opposite directions and rotate towards each other.

[0053] In this example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the cleaning device with a guide auxiliary structure also includes:

[0054] Edge sensors 60, multiple edge sensors 60 are installed on the outer peripheral side of the mounting frame 10 to accurately sense the contact status between the edge of the device and the surface to be cleaned, effectively prevent collisions, and ensure the safety and accuracy of the cleaning operation.

[0055] The rotating wiping layer 70 is detachably mounted on the wiping end of the rotating wiping member 50 , so as to facilitate replacement of different types of wiping materials to meet the cleaning requirements of surfaces of different materials, while improving cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0056] The translating wiping layer 80 is removably mounted at the bottom of the mounting frame 10 and is aligned with the rotating wiping layer 70, achieving a dual wiping effect and ensuring complete coverage of the cleaning surface. A clearance hole 81 corresponding to the guide roller 32 is defined in the translating wiping layer 80 to prevent obstruction of the guide roller 32's normal operation.

[0057] The upper cover 90 is mounted on the mounting frame 10. It features heat dissipation slots 91 on both sides, effectively dissipating heat from internal components and extending the life of the device. Furthermore, a lifting member 92 is provided on the side of the upper cover 90 away from the mounting frame 10, making it easy for the user to lift or move the entire cleaning device, enhancing ease of use and portability.

[0058] A mounting support plate 13 is installed at the bottom end of the mounting frame 10, and the translational wiping layer 80 is detachably mounted on the side of the mounting support plate 13 away from the mounting frame 10. A mounting hole 14 adapted to the guide roller 32 is provided on the mounting frame 10, and the guide roller 32 is movably set on the mounting hole 14, and the guide roller 32 is limited to the mounting hole 14 by the mounting support plate 13, ensuring the stable installation of the guide roller 32, and a limiting through hole 131 corresponding to the guide roller 32 is provided on the mounting support plate 13. The guide roller 32 passes through the limiting through hole 131 and the avoidance through hole 81 in turn, and extends to the outside of the translational wiping layer 80, ensuring smooth and unobstructed operation of the guide roller 32.

[0059] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The mounting plate 13 and the translational wiping layer 80 are each provided with a first clearance notch 132 and a second clearance notch 82 corresponding to the edge sensor 60. This ensures unimpeded operation of the edge sensor 60 during detection, improving the device's accuracy and response speed to edge environments. The mounting plate 13 and the translational wiping layer 80 are also provided with a third clearance notch 133 and a fourth clearance notch 83 corresponding to the rotating wiper 50. This design not only provides ample space for the rotation of the rotating wiper 50 but also ensures the continuity and efficiency of the wiping process. Furthermore, the mounting plate 13 and the translational wiping layer 80 are both convex in shape, which not only optimizes the structural layout but also enhances overall stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0060] See also Figures 4 to 7 The mounting frame 10 has a mounting positioning slot 15 at its bottom end. A positioning bump 134, which mates with the mounting positioning slot 15, is protruded from the side of the mounting support plate 13 near the mounting frame 10. This ensures precise positioning during assembly and improves assembly efficiency. The positioning bump 134 is also provided with a plurality of latches 135 on its outer periphery. The mounting frame 10 has engaging holes 16 corresponding to the latches 135. The mounting support plate 13 is secured to the mounting frame 10 via the latches 135, ensuring that the mounting support plate 13 is securely attached to the mounting frame 10 and is not susceptible to loosening or falling off.

[0061] A mounting groove 136 is further provided on the side of the mounting support plate 13 away from the mounting frame 10 , and an adhesive 137 is installed on the mounting groove 136 . The translational wiping layer 80 is installed on the mounting support plate 13 via the adhesive 137 to ensure stability and uniformity during the wiping process.

[0062] The rotary wiper 50 includes a rotary drive component 51 and a rotary component 52. The rotary drive component 51 is mounted on the mounting frame 10. The driving end of the rotary drive component 51 is connected to the rotary component 52 via a reversing member 53, providing rotational power to the rotary component 52. The rotary wiper layer 70 is bonded to the working end of the rotary component 52. As the rotary component 52 rotates, it fully wipes the cleaning surface, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0063] The guide roller 32 is any one of a ball member and a universal wheel member. In a preferred embodiment, the guide roller 32 is a ball member. The guide roller 32 has low rolling friction resistance and is responsive, which can significantly improve the guiding stability and flexibility of the cleaning device in complex environments.

[0064] For further information, see Figures 2 to 6The cleaning device with a guide-assist structure also includes an auxiliary suction component 30, which is positioned beside the vacuum suction component 20 and mounted on the mounting frame 10. The auxiliary suction component 30 is located above the guide roller 32 and has a corresponding avoidance groove 33 to prevent interference with the normal operation of the guide roller 32. The auxiliary suction component 30 also has an adsorption cavity 31 on the side near the vacuum suction component 20. The adsorption cavity 31 is connected to the adsorption end of the vacuum suction component 20, forming a continuous negative pressure adsorption path, further enhancing the adsorption effect. The mounting frame 10 is also provided with a first negative pressure adsorption mesh 11 and a second negative pressure adsorption mesh 12 corresponding to the adsorption end of the vacuum adsorption component 20 and the adsorption cavity 31, respectively. This ensures that the adsorption cavity 31 and the vacuum adsorption component 20 can properly perform negative pressure adsorption, providing negative pressure adsorption force and ensuring smooth cleaning operations. The second negative pressure adsorption mesh 12 is located in the middle of the mounting frame 10, acting as a central buffer fulcrum to further enhance the guiding stability of the device during steering. The driving track members 40 are located on both sides of the first negative pressure adsorption mesh 11. Figure 1 The guide roller 32, first negative pressure adsorption mesh 11, and second negative pressure adsorption mesh 12 are located on the same straight line. This layout not only ensures a uniform distribution of negative pressure adsorption force, but also strengthens the force of the guide roller 32 in guiding the movement of the cleaning device, allowing the equipment to move more accurately along the predetermined path. The rotating wiper 50 and the drive track 40 are arranged parallel to each other, optimizing the overall structural layout of the equipment. This allows the two key actions of wiping and driving to be carried out in a coordinated manner, improving the continuity and efficiency of the cleaning operation.

[0065] See also Figure 6 The mounting frame 10 also has a corresponding engagement groove 17 for the suction auxiliary component 30. The engagement groove 17 is located between the two rotating wipers 50, providing a secure mounting position for the suction auxiliary component 30. This design not only enhances the connection strength between the suction auxiliary component 30 and the mounting frame 10, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the suction auxiliary component 30 during operation.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
