As the mop continues to clean dirt, accumulated dirt can easily clog the port, affecting the mop's ability to wet it and, consequently, the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a cleaning device that can achieve normal water spraying from the water outlet and prevent the dirt on the mop from clogging the water outlet.

[0004] The present application provides a cleaning device, comprising a body, a water tank arranged on the body, and a mopping assembly, wherein the mopping assembly has a rotatable mop, and the mop includes a base and fluff arranged on the base; the cleaning device also includes a water sprinkling assembly, and the water sprinkling assembly includes a conveying structure and a water sprinkling nozzle, the conveying structure is configured to convey water in the water tank to the water sprinkling nozzle to spray water onto the mop, and the water sprinkling nozzle extends into the fluff to a preset length to spray water onto the base.

[0005] In some embodiments, the fluff constitutes a cleaning layer of the mop, the cleaning layer has a preset thickness when the fluff is in a wet and natural state, and the preset length is smaller than the preset thickness.

[0006] In some embodiments, the water nourishing assembly includes a water nourishing structure, which extends along the width direction of the mop. The water nourishing structure is provided with a plurality of water nourishing nozzles in the extending direction thereof.

[0007] In some embodiments, the watering nozzle is located on one side of the mop's rotation direction, and a watering hole is provided in the watering nozzle. The extending direction of the watering hole is inclined relative to the vertical direction of the machine body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the water-feeding hole is inclined at a preset angle relative to the vertical direction of the body, and the preset angle is 40°-65°.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further comprises:

[0010] The dirt scraping assembly comprises a scraping bar and a dirt collecting box with a dirt collecting groove. The scraping bar is pressed against the mop to scrape the dirty water on the mop into the dirt collecting groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the scraper bar and the water nozzle are respectively located on both sides of the mop in the rotation direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, with the rotation direction of the mop on one side of the bottom of the body as the forward direction, the water nozzle is located in front of the scraper bar.

[0013] In some embodiments, the scraper bar and the water nozzle are located on the same side of the mop's rotation direction; or

[0032] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0034] The cleaning equipment of the present application may be a floor scrubber, a cleaning robot, etc. The following description will be made using a cleaning robot as an example, but is not limited thereto.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device 10, which includes a body 100, a water tank provided on the body 100, and a mopping assembly 1. The mopping assembly 1 has a rotatable mop 11, which includes a base and fluff provided on the base.

[0036] The cleaning device 10 also includes a water spouting assembly, which includes a conveying structure and a water spouting nozzle 21. The conveying structure can convey water in the water tank to the water spouting nozzle 21 to spray water onto the mop 11. The water spout 21 extends into the fluff to a preset length to spray water onto the base.

[0037] It can be understood that by setting the water nozzle 21 to extend into the fluff to a preset length, water can be sprayed onto the mop 11 from the inside of the fluff or even the roots, which can not only effectively wet the fluff and ensure the cleaning effect, but also prevent the dirt accumulated on the surface of the mop 11 from clogging the water nozzle 21, ensuring the moistening of the mop 11 and thus ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the above-mentioned conveying structure includes a conveying pipe and an extraction device capable of extracting water from the water tank. The output port of the extraction device is connected to one end of the conveying pipe, and the other end of the conveying pipe is connected to the water supply nozzle 21.

[0039] It is understandable that the extraction device can extract water from the water tank and transport it to the water nozzle 21 through the delivery pipe, and then spray water onto the mop 11 through the water nozzle 21 to wet the fluff on the mop 11.

[0040] The extraction device may be selected from but not limited to a peristaltic pump, a centrifugal pump, a gear pump, a diaphragm pump, and the like.

[0041] In one embodiment, the watering assembly includes a watering structure 2 , which extends along the width direction of the mop 11 . The watering structure 2 is provided with a plurality of watering nozzles 21 in the extending direction thereof.

[0042] It is understandable that by providing a plurality of water nozzles 21 in the width direction of the mop 11, the mop 11 can be wetted evenly, so that the fluff can be kept in a wet state as a whole, thereby ensuring a cleaning effect.

[0043] It should be noted that the plurality of watering nozzles 21 are preferably arranged at equal intervals in the width direction of the mop 11. The number of watering nozzles 21 and the interval between two adjacent watering nozzles 21 can be set according to the width of the mop 11 to ensure that the fluff can be evenly wetted.

[0044] Optionally, the water-draining structure 2 may further be provided with multiple rows of water-draining nozzles 21, which are sequentially arranged in the rotation direction of the mop 11. Each row of water-draining nozzles 21 includes multiple water-draining nozzles 21 spaced apart along the width direction of the mop 11, so as to further improve the wetting effect on the mop 11.

[0045] In one embodiment, the fluff constitutes a cleaning layer of the mop 11 . The cleaning layer has a predetermined thickness when the fluff is in a wet and natural state, and the predetermined length is smaller than the predetermined thickness.

[0046] That is to say, the mop 11 mainly relies on the fluff for cleaning. When the fluff is moist and in a natural state, the cleaning layer has a certain thickness. The water nozzle 21 extends into the cleaning layer, and the length of the extension is less than the thickness of the cleaning layer at this time. This ensures that the water nozzle 21 can wet the cleaning layer, and also prevents the water nozzle 21 from contacting the base of the mop 11 and affecting the water spraying of the water nozzle 21, and also prevents the water nozzle 21 and the base of the mop 11 from contacting and causing damage to each other.

[0047] It should be noted that the water nozzle 21 extends into the fluff to a preset length, including the water nozzle 21 extending into the fluff to a preset length a when the fluff is in a dry state, and the water nozzle 21 extending into the fluff to a preset length b when the fluff is in a wet state. Since the thickness of the cleaning layer when the fluff is in a dry state is greater than the thickness when the fluff is in a wet state, and because the fluff is relatively fluffy when it is in a dry state, the thickness of the cleaning layer at this time is relatively large, so the preset length a is greater than the preset length b. Therefore, it is at least necessary to make the water nozzle 21 extend into the cleaning layer when the fluff is in a wet state, so as to ensure that the dirt accumulated on the surface of the cleaning layer will not block the water nozzle 21.

[0048] In one embodiment, the water spout 21 is located on one side of the mop 11 in the rotation direction. The water spout 21 defines a water hole 211 . The extending direction of the water hole 211 is inclined relative to the vertical direction of the machine body 100 .

[0049] It can be understood that by arranging the water nozzle 21 on one side of the rotation direction of the mop 11 and the water hole 211 being inclined relative to the vertical direction of the body 100, the water nozzle 21 can cooperate with the rotation of the mop 11 so that the water sprayed from the water hole 211 can flow downward on the mop under the action of its own gravity and wet more fluff. At the same time, it can also avoid, within a certain range, the setting of the water nozzle 21 from increasing the vertical height of the body 100, which is conducive to the thinning design of the cleaning device 10.

[0050] For example, in one specific implementation, the watering hole 211 is tilted at a preset angle relative to the vertical direction of the body 100, with the preset angle being selected to be 40°-65°. Considering the position of the watering nozzle 21 inserted into the mop 11 and its position on the body 100, it is preferred that the watering nozzle 21 be inserted into the mop's fluff perpendicular to the cross-section of the mop 11, and inserted at the corner between the horizontal and vertical directions, extending from top to bottom. This does not occupy too much space in the thickness of the body 100, while also allowing for better water spraying. In this case, the preset angle is selected to be 45°. It is understood that the preset angle can also be set to other reasonable values, such as 50°, 55°, 60°, or 65°.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning device 10 further includes a scraping assembly 3, which includes a scraping bar 32 and a dirt collecting box 31 having a dirt collecting groove 311. The scraping bar 32 is pressed against the mop 11 to scrape the dirty water on the mop 11 into the dirt collecting groove 311.

[0052] It is understandable that after the mop 11 cleans the floor, dirt on the floor will adhere to the mop 11. If the mop 11 is not cleaned, secondary pollution is likely to occur. Therefore, a scraping assembly 3 is provided, and the scraping bar 32 scrapes the dirt on the mop 11, and allows the sewage to enter the sewage collecting tank 311, thereby cleaning the mop 11 and ensuring the cleaning effect of the mop 11 on the floor.

[0053] It should be noted that the cleaning device 10 further includes a sewage box and an extraction device disposed on the body 100. The sewage collecting tank 311 is connected to the sewage tank via a pipeline. The extraction device can vacuum the sewage box so that the sewage in the sewage collecting tank 311 flows into the sewage box, thereby collecting the sewage. The extraction device can be an air pump or a vacuum pump.

[0054] In some embodiments, the scraper bar 32 and the water nozzle 21 are respectively located on both sides of the mop 11 in the rotation direction.

[0055] It can be understood that the water nozzle 21 and the scraper bar 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotation direction of the mop 11, so that the scraper bar 32 and the water nozzle 21 have an appropriate interference distance, thereby preventing the dirt accumulated near the scraper bar 32 from clogging the water nozzle 21 and affecting the wetting effect of the mop 11 when the mop 11 is running for a long time, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the mop 11.

[0056] Furthermore, with the rotation direction of the mop 11 on the bottom side of the machine body 100 as the forward direction, the water nozzle 21 is located in front of the scraper bar 32 .

[0057] With this arrangement, the portion of the mop 11 on one side of the bottom of the body 100 first passes through the water spout 21 and then the scraper bar 32 as the mop 11 rotates. In other words, the water spout 21 replenishes the mop 11 with water, and then the scraper bar 32 squeezes the dirt, allowing it to more easily enter the sump 311 along with the dirty water, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mop 11. At the same time, the scraper bar 32 squeezes out some of the water in the mop 11, preventing heavy water marks on the floor caused by excessive water remaining on the mop 11.

[0058] It can be understood that the area where the mop 11 contacts the ground forms an area to be cleaned. After the area to be cleaned cleans the ground, the dirt on the ground is carried through the water nozzle 21 and the scraper 32 in turn. The scraper 32 can squeeze the dirt so that it is easier to enter the sewage collecting tank 311 along with the sewage.

[0059] For example, in a specific implementation, the mop 11 rotates clockwise and in the front-to-back direction of the body 100 , the scraper 32 is located at the rear side of the mopping assembly 1 , and the water nozzle 21 is located at the front side of the mopping assembly 1 .

[0060] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the water nozzle and the scraping bar may be located on the same side of the mop in the direction of rotation. For example, when the mop rotates in the front-to-back direction of the machine body, the scraping bar and the water nozzle may both be located at the front or rear side of the mop assembly. Alternatively, the scraping bar may be located on one side of the mop in the direction of rotation, and the water nozzle may be located above the mop. For example, when the mop rotates in the front-to-back direction of the machine body, the scraping bar may be located at the rear side of the mop assembly, while the water nozzle may be located above the mop assembly. In other words, the water nozzle sprays water downward to wet the mop.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a cleaning system, which includes the above-mentioned cleaning device 10 and a base station 20.

[0062] The base station 20 includes a clean water tank and a water supply column connected to the clean water tank. The cleaning device 10 has a water inlet on its sidewall that connects to the water supply column. The water inlet connects to the water tank of the cleaning device 10. When the water inlet and the water supply column are connected, the clean water tank of the base station 20 can add water to the water tank of the cleaning device 10.

[0063] The base station 20 further comprises a base station chassis capable of carrying the cleaning device 10 . The clean water tank is connected to a water outlet of the base station chassis, and water can be sprayed through the water outlet to clean the mop and / or the base station chassis.

[0064] Furthermore, the above-mentioned base station also has a sewage tank and a sewage extraction device, and the sewage extraction device can vacuum the sewage tank so that the sewage on the base station chassis enters the sewage tank.

[0065] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 10 is located on the base station chassis, the sewage in the sewage box of the cleaning device 10 can be discharged onto the base station chassis and then pumped into the sewage tank.

[0066] Thus, when the cleaning device 10 is located on the base chassis, water is first applied to the mop through the water nozzle, and then the scraper bar scrapes the dirt from the mop, causing the dirty water on the mop to be scraped into the sump and finally collected in the sewage tank. When the cleaning device 10 is moved out of the base chassis, water is not sprayed on the mop through the water nozzle at the beginning, so that the mop remains moist. In other words, the water content of the cleaning layer of the mop is kept appropriate, avoiding water marks and dripping on the floor when the mop is mopping, and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0067] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the element.

[0068] The foregoing description is intended only to provide specific embodiments of the present application, which will enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application.
